JOHN

What did she even mean by that?

"How is it too much?" Charles asked as he drank water from the glass cup and yes he was right about it.

"I'm just trying to help Eveyln"

Diane barely looked up as she replied, she was a bit offended with what he said. "Because if she’s surrounded by controversy, it’s going to affect you and your campaign." Her fork clinked softly against her plate.

I glanced at Evelyn. She looked tense, her jaw tight, but she kept eating, like she was trying to pretend the conversation wasn’t annoying her.

"Alright, that's enough," I snapped but in a low voice . "He was asking her, not you."

Diane lifted her head, meeting my eyes with a concern laced in her voice. "I’m just worried about my father-in-law. That’s not wrong, is it?" Her voice was light, like she needed someone to tell her it was okay.

The dinning room fell silent for a moment, the only sound coming from the quiet clinking of cutlery. I watched my mum, her gaze fixed on Evelyn as she ate.

  • Rejected And Betrayed: Chasing My Luna Back.   102. "I win, you lose"

    EVEYLNMy mind raced, desperate for an excuse to leave. I shouldn’t have come here in the first place, and now there were only thirty minutes left until my son’s ritual. Time was slipping away too fast."Your kids… they’re Alpha John’s, aren’t they?" she asked.I froze, my eyes widened as I stared at her, completely shocked by her question. My plate was half empty and suddenly, I had no appetite at all."I knew it," she muttered, spinning her wine before placing the glass down with a quiet clink."So that’s why you joined this pack? To be with John?" she pressed, her gaze locked onto mine."No!" I blurted out, shaking my head. She couldn’t be more wrong. "I didn't join this Pack, like I said earlier...""If John asked you to rejoin this pack, would you?" she asked with a soft voice. but her eyes studied me closely."With all due respect, ma’am, I’ve moved on," I said, keeping my voice as calm as possible. The conversation was starting to make me uncomfortable, and I shifted slightly i

    JOHN I tried to steady my breathing, but my thoughts were racing like a storm. Elvis had been shot with an arrow, and deep down, I knew Giovanni was responsible. The thought made my chest tighten. Once this ritual was over, I would find him no matter what.“Sacred smoke, cleanse my spirit. As you rise, take away the darkness around me. Fill me with your light and pure presence,” the Pack Witch said in an old voice with her eyes closed and her hands spread apart as the fragrant smoke curled into the air. This cleansing prayer was the first step of the ritual, an important part before any magic could begin.“Where is she?” she asked sharply, her eyes scanning the cold, shadowy clearing as the trees rustled in the wind.I sighed."Continue the ritual without her. She might not come at all… or she’ll be late," I said quietly, folding my hands in front of me. My head was bowed, my voice was shaking and my heart as I stood near Harry.He lay motionless on the wooden structure designed to l

    EVELYNI ran as fast as I could, my legs burning with every step. Sand flew up behind me, kicked by my frantic pace. There was no time to stop, no time to think. The Pack didn’t have taxis to make this easier so I had to rely on my own speed. I had to reach the Pack witch’s house before it was too late.Diane’s words echoed in my mind. From her tone, it was clear she already knew why I was coming. I couldn’t afford to underestimate her not when my son’s life was at stake."Fuck," I gasped, stumbling to a stop. I leaned against the wall, one hand bracing myself on the wall while the other clutched my chest. My breath came in ragged gulps, sweat dripping down my face like a summer storm.Scent filled the air like cedar, but stronger. It wrapped around me with an unsettling warmth, making my skin prickle. A shiver ran down my spine. Something unnatural was happening, I could feel it.In front of me, my son sat on rough wooden logs, his small hands clasped together as he trembled. He was

    EVEYLN."What were you planning? Were you trying to hide it from me?" I asked, as I demanded answers.I dipped the cotton ball into the iodine, the strong smell stinging my nose, and gently dabbed it on his wound. He flinched, sucking in a breath through clenched teeth as the pain hit him like a blade. The small, circular wounds on his stomach were deep, too deep. Were his claws really that sharp? That long?"And you can't make it heal?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. "Sure, a deep cut like this takes time, but don’t worry your healing powers will speed it up."The memory strike me like a shock. I had heard that sharp sound just before everything went dark. Now, as I cleaned the wounds, more blood oozed out. This was my fault. He was hurt because of me, because he tried to save me when I foolishly broke the ritual’s rules."Ouch," he muttered, wincing in pain. I sighed softly, my heart sinking as I reached for a plaster from the first aid box. Carefully, I pressed it over the wound, hop

    DIANE POV"Ms. Diane," Andrew said coldly, "I've told you over and over, I'm done with your games."I rolled my eyes and tightened my grip on the phone. "Is this because I wouldn’t sleep with you? Gosh, am I going to keep fucking you just to get something in return?" My voice was harsh, but his silence only made me more annoyed. Typical Andrew, always brooding when things didn’t go his way.I scoffed, shaking my head. "You're such a headache," I muttered. A dark thought crept in, maybe I should get rid of him before he ruins everything. Before he exposes my plans.Without waiting for a reply, I hung up and tossed the phone onto the counter. The smell of sizzling onions filled the space, grounding me. I forced a smile and stepped into the kitchen, hiding the storm inside me.Vera turned from the stove, spatula in hand, her face brightening when she saw me. "Come on, honey," she said cheerfully.But my smile? Fake. Just a mask. Because deep down, I knew one day, Vera wouldn’t be on my s

    DIANE POV"Gosh, this is perfect! Why didn’t I think of it before?" I murmured, excitement lighting up my voice as I stared at my reflection. A wide grin spread across my face.I slid open the drawer of my makeup table and pulled out the menthol tear stick. It looked just like an ordinary lipstick no one would ever guess its real purpose."Today’s the day," I whispered, turning the small tube in my fingers. Their meeting was happening. The perfect opportunity. I hadn’t attended one in ages, but this time would be different.Standing outside the building, my heart drummed softly in my chest. The room was part of the palace’s outer wing. My steps echoed as I approached the door.Before stepping inside, I carefully swiped the tear stick beneath my eyes, the cool sensation tingling against my skin. I adjusted the black headwrap around my hair, tilting my head slightly downward. I pushed the door open.Silence.Their conversations stopped mid-sentence. Every pair of eyes turned to me, the

    EVEYLN"Leave this pack, Evelyn!" a woman shouted as my heart began beating looking around to see angry faces staring at me."It's your fault our Luna is under attack!" another yelled, her face red with anger."You’re a disgrace to all women!" In the crowd, a woman held up a rough sign. It showed a poorly drawn figure labeled "Evelyn," with a thick red 'X' slashed across it. The paint was smeared and angry, just like the people holding it.Eggs smashed against our iron gate, their yolks dripping down in streaks of yellow and white. I stood frozen, watching the mess spread as the metallic clang of each hit mixed with the furious chants.At least thirty women filled the street, their voices merging into a harsh rhythm. "Evelyn, leave! Evelyn, leave!"Their anger was deafening, but I refused to cover my ears. I fought the urge to flinch or look away. That would feel like I'm being disrespectful to them."Enough... stop.""Move back!"The bodyguards spread their arms wide. They stood fir

    JOHNI burst into the mansion, my footsteps echoing through the hall. My chest rose and fell as I fought to control the anger threatening to take over. Just as I was about to head straight to Diane’s room, the smell of roasted chicken and herbs drifted from the dining room, catching my attention.Inside, Charles and Vera sat at the table, calmly eating, the quiet clink of their forks against their plates filling the space.I clenched my fists at my sides, forcing myself to stay calm. The anger burned inside me, but I couldn’t let it show. Not yet.“Hey, son, is everything okay?” Vera asked. She turned in her chair, looking at me with concern. My sudden entrance had clearly disrupted their peaceful dinner.“No, Mum,” I bellowed. I stepped closer, scanning the room. “Where’s Diane?”Vera frowned slightly and set down her fork. “She just left,” she said gently. “She said she’d be back this evening. Why do you ask, son? Come and have something to eat.” Was it Aria’s place she went to, or

    EVEYLN POV"I mean dead, sorry," he corrected quickly, bowing his head before grabbing his broom and sweeping the floor like he was desperate to disappear.At least now I had something, a clue.He was killed.Maybe I should just accept that. But still… why? Was it guilt? Had he taken his own life, haunted by what he’d done?I turned to John. “One of the workers said he was killed.”“By the person who sent him,” John said casually, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.My face twisted in confusion.What was he even talking about?“What are you saying, John? Where did you even get that from?” I asked, shaking my head in disbelief.John just gave a small smile as he pulled open the car door for me. I slid in, and he closed it gently behind me.A moment later, the engine roared to life, and we sped off.“Are you trying to say Elvis was paid to do that?” I pressed.“To frame me,” John said simply.I let out a shaky breath and slammed my back against the seat.It just kept gettin

  • Rejected And Betrayed: Chasing My Luna Back.   140. Let it go.

    EVEYLN The first thing I did that morning was rush to the hospital to see her. My chest tightened as I pushed open the door to her room, empty. The bed was made and she was gone.Panic bubbled in my throat, but then I saw it, a small folded note left on the table beside the bed. My fingers trembled as I picked it up."Thank you for risking your life to save me, Ms. I’ll escape and break everything. Please don’t come looking for me."She didn’t even sign her name. No clue, no hint of who she really was.Clearly, she didn’t want me to find her.Maybe John was right. Maybe I should just let it go. Honestly, I never would’ve imagined that a man as respected as Jude could raise someone like Darwin—a twisted, perverted and reckless son who preyed on young girls.But then again, she said her own parents sold her off to him. Maybe they knew exactly what kind of monster Darwin was. Maybe that’s why they handed her over without a second thought.What gets under my skin the most is knowing he

    EVEYLN“Please… don’t worry about me,” she said softly, her voice barely above a whisper. “Thank you for saving me, but…”Her voice cracked. Then, as if the weight of everything she’d been holding in finally broke loose, she began to cry. This had an effect on me as I had to fight the sting in my own eyes.“My life… it’s only going to get worse from here,” she choked out.I looked at her, helpless.Goddess, what can I possibly do to ease this young girl's pain?I didn’t even know her story. But the sorrow in her eyes told me more than words ever could, she’d been through hell. She was beautiful, short golden hair and eyes wide and soft like a doe’s. I didn’t want to bother her with questions. She’d been through enough and she needs rest. So, I let it go for now.“We’ll come back tomorrow, to check up on you,” I whispered to myself as we quietly left.A few hours later, I still couldn’t sleep.We had returned to the mansion, where everything was quiet. Even the troublemaker was asleep

    JOHN“Let’s leave,” I urged her, reaching for her arm.But she pulled away, shaking her head hard. Her finger shot toward a crowded spot in the distance, eyes wide with urgency.“We have to save that girl first, John,” she said, voice trembling.I turned to Solomon. He caught my look and gave a quick nod as he’d heard Evelyn too, and he understood.A rough voice barked behind me. “You twat! Do you even know what you’ve done?”Three men stood there, rage burning in their eyes. One of them clutched his hand, blood dripping between his fingers. I glanced down at my claws, one of his fingers lay at my feet. “Fuuuck! What are you?” the man screamed, his voice breaking from pain and fear.My claws was sharper than any freshly-forged blade, than any normal Alpha wolf because of the special features I was brought up with. One hard strike was all it took to kill.The air was filled with an overwhelming mix of blood, sweat, moans, sperm and too many creatures. Vampires. Hybrids. Strong wolves.

    "She's still not answering, and she's not in the club either," Solomon said, letting out a sigh.John’s chest was beating. A strange feeling crawled over him, like something wasn’t right with Eveyln. He couldn’t shake the urge to go find her. "She probably took a taxi home," Solo added, scanning the area.John's eyes swept the street, and then he froze. There it was, the car he dreaded to see. Giovanni’s.His heart skipped a beat."Maybe... she’s with Giovanni," he muttered under his breath."But we've checked everywhere. They're not inside," Solomon said, glancing around with uncertainty in his eyes.That was when a chilling thought gripped John, a terrifying 'what if' that twisted in his gut as he remembered how Elena and Giovanni drugged her so that he would take advantage of her. Without a word, he pushed into the club, his pace quickening as he stormed down the hall lined with private rooms.He started throwing doors open one after another."Boss, you got to slow down, we might

  • Rejected And Betrayed: Chasing My Luna Back.   136. WARNING!!!

    WARNING: SOME CONTENT MIGHT BE TOO DARK. The girls exchanged a glance, hesitant, their eyes flicking back to the card in her hand. “We can’t,” one of the girls said quickly, shaking her head. “The bartender is the one who’s supposed to direct you.” With a mysterious smile, she dipped her head and slipped out of the restroom, leaving Evelyn standing there with more questions than answers. Evelyn exhaled shakily and made her way to the bar. She placed the card carefully on the counter, its glossy surface catching the dim light. The bartender’s eyes widened the moment he saw it. He snatched it up, glancing left and right as if to make sure no one else had seen. Not a single word passed between them. Evelyn stayed silent, her pulse thudding in her ears. Without explanation, the man disappeared into the kitchen. Moments later, a female bartender took his place, wiping the counter as if nothing had happened. Evelyn blinked, confused. “Where’s the other bartender?” The woma

    UNIQUE CLUBHOUSEGiovanni lounged on the couch, a glass of expensive wine cradled in his hand. In front of him, two naked bodies having sex as the lady's legs were widely spread apart, moaning out loud, but he barely wasn't even enjoying the show displayed at his front. His grip tightened on the glass, knuckles pale, eyes shut tight. Evelyn’s voice echoed in his mind. Her words from earlier clung to him like smoke.“You seem stressed, Alpha,” came a sultry voice.A woman stepped into view, wearing only a lacy bra and panties that did not cover much of her ass and boobs. She sank onto his lap, her skin warm against his.“I’ve missed you, you know,” she murmured, tracing a slow finger along the bridge of his nose. Her lips formed a pout as she leaned in closer.Giovanni caught her hand mid-motion with his eyes opened. “Is that why you came to my pack? To become a maid?” Giovanni asked, his voice low, almost disbelieving.She nodded with a small, teasing smile. “Of course. It’s been age

    EVEYLN"I..." he stammered, still looking angry. "I'm sorry.""I get why you acted like that, but you went too far."I stood up as I sighed. There was nothing more to say. Nothing I could do to undo the decision and if I could, I wouldn’t think twice.I walked to the car, each step slower than the last. Reaching it, I stopped, resting my hands on the cool metal. A sigh escaped me. I opened the door, ready to slide in, when someone caught my eye.“Wait... is that Mimi?” I shut the car door and started walking in her direction. She was speaking to someone, but my eyes were locked on her alone. My pace quickened—I had to catch up. What was Mimi doing near the palace? More importantly, what was she doing in this Pack at all?"Where are you heading to, ma'am?" I didn’t respond. No point. He would follow me anyway, no matter what I said. Let him.Just then, Mimi turned and began to walk away. A small house stood between us. I picked up my pace, weaving around it quickly, determined not to

    EVEYLN.“The Pack witch just told me everything, Evelyn. It’s best if you stay here,” I shook my head, tightening my jaw. “And since when do you get to make decisions for me, John?”He sighed, running a hand through his hair. “I’m just doing what needs to be done. This is probably where you belong now. I haven’t even taken your things from the Nightshade Pack yet…”“Don’t even start,” I cut in, my arms folding tightly across my chest. “You think it’ll be easy explaining to them why I’m suddenly moving to the Silvermoon Pack? Everything’s happening so fast.”My eyes followed the strangers as they carried box after box into the mansion.I caught John’s gaze as he looked me over from head to toe, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.“My shirt suits you,” he said, cocky as ever.I rolled my eyes. “What are you going to say to her?”“She’ll have to accept it,” he replied casually before disappearing into the mansion.I let out a long sigh.
