Evelyn.

“Evelyn,” Gaius began, his deep voice rumbling low, almost soothing. Almost. “It was a long time ago.”

He was trying to be gentle, but his words felt more like a dismissal than reassurance. I stared at him, my arms crossed tightly over my chest, a shield against the unease that bubbled inside me.

“A long time ago,” I repeated, my tone sharper than I intended. “And yet, here she is, still part of your life.”

Gaius sighed, his hand brushing over his jaw in that way he always did when he was trying to keep calm. “She’s not part of my life, Evelyn. She’s part of the plan. Nothing more.”

That word—plan—should have reassured me, but it didn’t. I pressed on, unable to stop myself. “Do you really expect me to believe that? After everything? After—”

“After what?” he interrupted, stepping closer. His hands found my shoulders, firm yet tender. “Evelyn, Raven means nothing to me. You know that.”

“I don’t know that,” I whispered, the words slipping out before I could stop them. I hated how

    Lisa’s smirk was in full bloom as she leaned back in her chair, arms crossed like she was watching a particularly amusing play. “Well, you can’t blame Evelyn for being a little jealous,” she said, her tone full of mischief. “It’s not every day you find out your mate is still working with his ex.”I pinched the bridge of my nose, my patience thinning. “Lisa, enough.” My voice carried the edge I knew she respected, but her smirk only wavered slightly.“Just saying,” she continued, unfazed. “Evelyn’s not wrong to wonder. History like that doesn’t just vanish overnight.”“There’s no history,” I said sharply, leaning forward and fixing her with a glare that would have sent most people scrambling for the door. “Raven is part of the plan, nothing more. I made that clear a long time ago. And I’d appreciate it if you didn’t joke about it anymore.”Lisa’s smile faded, and she nodded, finally sensing the seriousness in my tone. “Got it. Sorry, Alpha.”Before I could say more, the shrill ring of

  • My ex-Luna came back for revenge   Watch your tone.

    GaiusEvelyn was gone before I even realized it. The moment the news of Amelia's kidnapping hit, she darted out of the room, her worry sharper than words. I barely had time to call after her before she disappeared down the hall.“Evelyn!” My voice echoed through the mansion, but I already knew where she was heading.Her scent was a trail of desperation and determination, leading me straight to the pack’s orphanage. My chest tightened as I sprinted after her. For Evelyn, the children weren’t just a duty—they were her solace, her way of healing. Losing Amelia had shaken her to her core.By the time I reached the orphanage, Evelyn was already inside. The room was filled with chaos—shuffled feet, murmurs of fear, and the faint sound of stifled sobs.I stepped through the doorway, and every eye turned to me. The kids huddled in small groups, some clutching each other, others staring wide-eyed at Evelyn as she tried to calm them.“Everyone, please,” she said, her voice trembling but steady.

  • My ex-Luna came back for revenge   Explain this.

    EvelynThe morning air was crisp, the kind that cleared your head and sharpened your focus. My muscles ached with the pleasant burn of progress as I adjusted my stance, listening intently to Matthias’s instructions.“Keep your balance steady, Luna,” he said, holding up the padded target. His tone was calm, almost detached, but I’d come to recognize the faint glimmer of approval in his eyes.I nodded, shifting my weight onto my back foot. With a sharp exhale, I swung my leg upward, aiming for the pad.The first kick fell short, skimming the edge.“Again,” Matthias instructed, his expression giving nothing away.Gritting my teeth, I reset my position, drawing a deep breath. I had to get this right. Not for him, not even for myself—but for my child. Each session brought me closer to feeling capable of protecting what mattered most.I tried again, pushing through the strain in my legs. My foot hit the target squarely, the sound reverberating through the quiet clearing.“Yes!” I shouted, a

  • My ex-Luna came back for revenge   Its not about trust.

    “Gaius,” I started, my voice trembling as I stared at the photographs spread across his desk. “This isn’t what you think.”“Isn’t it?” he snapped, his voice cold and clipped. The calm façade he’d worn moments ago had cracked, revealing the storm simmering just beneath the surface.I swallowed hard, my throat dry. “It was nothing. I was just training with Matthias. I finally managed a high kick, and I hugged him—”“You hugged him,” Gaius repeated, his tone laced with disbelief and anger. He shoved the photos closer to me, his green eyes burning into mine. “Do you have any idea how this looks? To the pack? To me?”My heart pounded, and I shook my head, trying to find the right words. “I wasn’t thinking about how it looked. I was just—”“Exactly,” he cut me off, his voice rising. “You weren’t thinking, Evelyn. You’re my Luna, and your actions reflect on this pack. Do you know what kind of damage rumors like this can cause?”I opened my mouth to respond, but his words kept coming, sharp a

    The guilt sat heavy in my chest, an unbearable weight that refused to lift. I paced the length of my room, Layla standing nearby with an expression that hovered between curiosity and impatience. My thoughts kept circling back to Matthias—the betrayal etched in his face when Gaius had him dismissed from his duties earlier that day.It was my fault.All of it.If I hadn’t been so careless, so impulsive in showing my excitement during training, none of this would have happened. The pack wouldn’t be whispering behind my back, Gaius wouldn’t be questioning my loyalty, and Matthias wouldn’t have lost the honor of serving as my guard.“Do you always wear the floor thin when you’re feeling guilty?” Layla asked, her voice breaking through the fog of my thoughts.I stopped, turning to face her. “He didn’t deserve this.”Her eyes gleamed with something I couldn’t quite place—was it satisfaction? Amusement? “Maybe not,” she said lightly, adjusting the cuffs of her dress. “But you can’t undo it no

    Gaius’s POVEvelyn was sitting at the edge of the bed when I stepped into our room, her shoulders tense and her gaze fixed on her hands resting in her lap. She didn’t look up, but the storm in her expression was clear.“Evelyn,” I began, my voice softer than usual as I closed the door behind me.She didn’t respond, but her jaw tightened, her silence a clear message that she wasn’t ready to forgive me just yet.I sighed, moving closer, each step heavy with the weight of my earlier outburst. “I shouldn’t have spoken to you that way,” I admitted, my voice low. “I let my frustration get the better of me. I was wrong, and I’m sorry.”Finally, her eyes met mine, a mixture of hurt and uncertainty swirling within them. “You didn’t just lose your temper, Gaius,” she said softly. “You made me feel like I’d betrayed you, like my word didn’t matter.”The ache in her voice cut through me like a blade. “I trust you,” I said firmly, sitting beside her. “More than anyone.

  • My ex-Luna came back for revenge   Endless chaos.

    The heat from the flames clawed at my skin as I dashed into the burning building, the crackling fire roaring like a beast eager to consume everything in its path. Smoke stung my eyes, turning my vision into a blur of shadows and flickering orange light.“Stay low and keep moving!” I shouted to the soldiers and caretakers who were rushing past me, each carrying terrified children.My lungs burned as I crouched, scanning the chaos for any sign of movement. A boy cried out from behind a fallen beam, his small frame trembling as the fire closed in around him.“I’ve got you!” I called, scrambling over the debris. My muscles ached from the effort, but I pushed through, grabbing him under his arms and hoisting him up.“Hold on to me, okay?” I said as I wrapped him securely in my arms.He nodded wordlessly, his tear-streaked face buried against my shoulder. I hurried back toward the exit, my ears ringing as a portion of the ceiling collapsed behind us. The roar of the flames grew louder, but

    Gaius’s pacing was relentless, the tension in his shoulders radiating through the room. His jaw clenched and unclenched as he turned sharply on his heel, barely sparing me a glance before continuing his steady path across the floor.“What were you thinking, Evelyn?” His voice was low but carried a sharp edge, each word cutting deeper than the last. “Running off on your own—again?”I stood frozen in place, my stomach twisting with guilt. “I just wanted to help,” I said quietly, my voice weak even to my own ears.“Help?” He stopped abruptly, pinning me with a look so intense I felt my heart skip a beat. His green eyes, usually so warm and inviting, were now dark with worry and frustration. “Do you have any idea what could’ve happened if I hadn’t been there?”“I wasn’t trying to make things worse,” I murmured, my hands wringing in front of me. “The little girl… she was so scared, and I thought—”“You thought wrong,” Gaius interrupted, his voice rising slightly.

    EvelynThe pain came in waves, sharp and relentless. My breathing was shallow as I clung to Gaius’s hand, his steady presence the only thing keeping me grounded. I had prepared for this moment—or at least I thought I had. But nothing could have prepared me for the overwhelming pressure, the way my body felt like it was tearing apart.“Breathe, Evelyn,” Gaius said softly, his voice calm but firm. “You’ve got this.”I nodded, though the words felt distant. Another contraction hit, and I cried out, my wolf stirring restlessly inside me.Grace entered the room, followed by the midwife, a kind but no-nonsense woman named Marion. She took one look at me and started giving instructions, her voice steady and reassuring.“You’re doing great, Evelyn,” Marion said, kneeling by the bed. “But the baby isn’t in the right position yet. It might take some time.”I groaned, my grip on Gaius’s hand tightening. “I don’t know if I can do this,” I whispered, tears streaming down my face.“Yes, you can,” G

    EvelynThe ride back to the pack was quiet. Gaius sat beside me, his hand resting on my knee, a comforting weight in the stillness. I leaned my head against the window, watching the trees blur past. My mind wandered, replaying the confrontation with Roman.His words didn’t haunt me the way I thought they might. Instead, I felt a strange calm, like I’d closed the door on a part of my life that had long held me captive. I wasn’t afraid of him anymore. He couldn’t hurt me now.Gaius’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts. “You’ve been quiet,” he said softly, glancing at me.I turned to him, offering a small smile. “Just thinking.”“About Roman?” he asked, his tone careful.I nodded. “He’s bitter. Angry. But he’s nothing now. Just a shadow of what he used to be.”Gaius squeezed my knee gently. “You’re stronger than him, Evelyn. You always were.”His words warmed me, and I placed my hand over his. “Thank you,” I said softly.The pack house came into view, its familiar structure a welcome si

  • My ex-Luna came back for revenge   A chance of a lifetime.

    EvelynI stood barefoot on the sand, the turquoise waves lapping at the shore. Gaius walked up behind me, his arms circling my waist as he pulled me against his chest. “What are you thinking about?” he asked, his voice low and comforting.I smiled, leaning into him. “I was just trying to remember the last time I felt this peaceful.”He kissed the top of my head. “It’s been a long time, hasn’t it?”“It feels like a lifetime ago,” I admitted.Our honeymoon had been nothing short of magical. After everything we had been through—the battles, the loss, the constant chase of Cyrus’s shadow—this felt like a dream. We had traveled to a secluded island, a place untouched by war or worry, where the only sounds were the waves and the laughter of the locals.For the past few days, we had let ourselves forget about the rest of the world. We’d explored hidden waterfalls, hiked through lush jungles, and shared quiet meals by candlelight. It felt like we were rediscovering each other, peeling back th

    EvelynThe days after the healer’s news were filled with quiet worry. At first, I thought I was just exhausted from everything we’d been through—the battles, the losses, the rebuilding. But my body felt heavier with each passing day, and the symptoms only grew worse.Gaius barely left my side, his eyes constantly flicking to me with a worry he tried to hide. But I could feel it in his touch, in the way his hand would linger on mine, or how he’d wrap an arm around me as if afraid I might disappear.“You need to rest,” he told me for the hundredth time as I sat on the couch one afternoon, my head resting against his shoulder.“I am resting,” I said, though the ache in my body made it clear that rest alone wasn’t enough.“We’re seeing the healer again,” he said firmly. “Something isn’t right.”I didn’t argue. I didn’t have the energy to.The healer, an older man with kind eyes and steady hands, greeted us warmly when we arrived. But as he examined me, his expression grew serious. He did

  • My ex-Luna came back for revenge   Going forward.

    EvelynThe land was quiet, the chaos of the fight replaced by an eerie stillness. It was over. Cyrus was gone, and his reign of terror had ended.But as I walked through the remains of the battlefield, the weight of everything we’d lost pressed heavily on my chest. Those that died were being gathered, their bodies lined carefully, as survivors worked tirelessly to restore some semblance of order. I spotted Gaius in the distance, directing soldiers and healers with the same calm authority that had always been his strength. Even from here, I could see the exhaustion etched into his features, but he didn’t falter. He turned as I approached, his eyes softening when they met mine. “Evelyn,” he said, stepping closer. His hand rested gently on my arm, his touch grounding me. “You shouldn’t be out here. You need to rest.”“I’m fine,” I said, though the truth was far from it. My body ached in ways I didn’t fully understand, and every step felt heavier than the last. But I couldn’t sit idl

  • My ex-Luna came back for revenge   The truth about Cyrus.

    GaiusThe battlefield was eerily quiet. Smoke curled in thin tendrils from scattered fires, and the once deafening sounds of battle had faded into an uneasy silence. Around us, Cyrus’s forces lay defeated, either dead or having fled into the shadows. For the first time in what felt like an eternity, it seemed like we might actually win.But Cyrus wasn’t done.He stood alone in the clearing, his once-pristine black coat torn and bloodstained, but his stance was still defiant. His smirk, cruel and venomous, clung stubbornly to his face as though he knew something we didn’t.I tightened my grip on my blade, my wolf pacing restlessly inside me. “It’s over, Cyrus,” I said, stepping forward. “Your army is gone. Surrender now, and maybe we’ll let you live.”His laugh echoed across the field, cold and sharp. “You think I’m afraid of dying, Gaius?” he spat. “You think this is the end for me?”“It is,” I said firmly, my voice calm but unyielding. “You’ve lost everything.”Cyrus took a step forw

  • My ex-Luna came back for revenge   Stop!

    GaiusAs I carried Evelyn’s unconscious form through the dense forest. My arms tightened around her as I pushed forward, my heart pounding with a mixture of fear and urgency. She felt so fragile in my hold, and the thought of her being hurt clawed at me.Behind me, Raven led the way, limping but determined. Despite her battered appearance, her eyes burned with a fierceness I hadn’t seen in years. She had gathered guards and allies in a makeshift camp deep in the woods—a safe zone where we could regroup and plan our next move against Cyrus.The soft murmurs of voices and the faint glow of campfires appeared ahead. Relief flooded through me. At least we’d reached some measure of safety for the moment.The guards at the perimeter stiffened as we approached, their weapons raised until they recognized us. “Alpha Gaius!” one of them called out, rushing forward.“Clear a path,” I ordered, my voice tight. “She needs care.”They stepped aside without question, their faces etched with concern a

    CyrusThe chamber reeked of sweat and blood. My throne, carved from blackened stone, felt harder beneath me as I stared at the rogue kneeling before me. His head was bowed, his body trembling.“How many this time?” I asked, my voice low and steady.The rogue flinched, his fear bleeding into the silence. “Three squads, my Lord,” he stammered. “They... they deserted last night.”I sat back, my fingers curling around the armrests of the throne.“Three squads,” I repeated slowly, “And what did they take with them?”“S-supplies, my Lord,” he whispered, barely able to meet my eyes. “Weapons, food... they stole what they could carry.”My wolf stirred, snarling at the edges of my mind. Traitors. After everything I had done—everything I had sacrificed—this was how they repaid me?“You’re telling me,” I said, rising from my seat, “that a third of my army has turned tail and fled? That they think they can run from me?”The rogue didn’t answer. He didn’t dare.“Look at me,” I commanded, my voic

    Evelyn My chest burned with each breath, my muscles aching from the effort of keeping Gaius moving. He leaned heavily on me, his strength waning, but his stubbornness kept him upright.“He’s getting closer,” I said breathlessly, glancing over my shoulder.The warrior loomed in the distance, his enormous frame tearing through trees and underbrush with ease. His glowing green eyes locked on us.Gaius gritted his teeth. “We just need to make it a little farther.”“No, we don’t,” I said, coming to a sudden stop.Gaius staggered as I pulled him to a halt. He turned to me, his face pale and bloodied. “What are you doing?”I straightened, letting go of his arm. “We can’t keep running. You can’t keep running.”“Evelyn, don’t,” he said, shaking his head. “We have to keep moving.”“No,” I said firmly. “We won’t make it. He’ll catch us, and when he does...” My voice trailed off, the words catching in my throat.Gaius’s eyes softened, but only for a moment. Then his jaw set, and he stepped in fr
