EVELYN’S POV:FIVE YEARS LATER“Mommy! Mommy!”The joyful shouts of my two little kids echoed in the expansive parking lot of the elementary school.I turned to see them running happily toward me, their melodious laughter bringing a warm smile to my face. Harriet and Harry, with their bright smiles and sparkling eyes, raced forward, their little feet thumping on the pavement. When they got to me, they wrapped their tiny arms around my legs.“How was school today, my little scholars?” I asked, crouching down to their height and resting my hands gently on their shoulders. “Great!” Harriet exclaimed, her brunette pigtails bouncing. She held up a crumpled drawing of a T-Rex, the bright colors spilling over the edges of the paper.I gave her a thumbs up and she giggled, her chubby cheeks bunching up. I took their little hands in mine and we walked side by side.As we left the busy school grounds, the sounds of children playing faded behind us. I felt the warm afternoon sun on my back as

As I walked into the living room, she opened her mouth to say the name of the visitor but hesitated. Just then, my phone buzzed in my pocket. I quickly took it out and answered. “Ma’am, there’s an emergency! You need to rush down to the company right away. The project file you used for the defense is missing!” Mimi, my personal assistant, said in a frantic voice. My heart sank. Without thinking, I rushed down the hallway, snatched the car keys from the driver’s hand, flung open the door of the driver’s seat and jumped in. As I backed out of the gate, I saw my driver running after me, trying to catch up and take over. But I didn’t have the time for that. What did she mean by the project defense file was missing???? There was no way the project I had poured my heart and soul in, spent sleepless nights and dealt with endless headaches for, just disappear! Moon Goddess, please let this not be true. I silently begged as I hit the gas. I sped down the road as I weaved through t

ALPHA JOHN XAVIER’S POV:“Alpha, are you listening?” Andrew’s voice cut through my foggy thoughts, snapping me out of them.I jolted upright, feeling the heavy weight of tiredness on my shoulders. I rubbed my face and brushed the stubble on my jaw. These past five years, I haven’t felt like myself. Each day was a struggle against a deep fatigue that made it hard to concentrate. “What festival are you talking about?” I replied, my voice raspy as I straightened in my chair. Andrew stood in front of me, his brow furrowed with concern with an invitation letter clutched tightly in his hands. As I leaned forward, sunlight streamed through the window, lighting up the edges of the card. I took it from him, our fingers brushing.Reading the words, shock and disbelief filled me. The Nightshade Pack—one of the oldest and most powerful packs to exist—was celebrating their three-hundredth anniversary, and Silver Moon had been invited. “What do you think, Alpha? Should we go?” he asked enthusi

EVELYN POVAfter a couple of hours, I let out a deep sigh as the plane touched down, the rumble of the landing gear jolting me back to reality.I stepped out onto the tarmac with Harry and Harriet and nostalgia hit me, making me pause for a moment to look at the familiar skyline of New York City. I’m back in New York.I blinked against the bright afternoon sun as the towering buildings cast long shadows. Memories flooded my mind. Most of them were dark and haunting. I tried to reach for good memories, but there were none. All the time I spent in this city, I never truly had a moment of peace. I mean, compared to what I enjoyed now, what I used to call ‘peaceful’ now seemed like hellhole to me.What if I hadn’t taken that bold decision to free myself? I often wondered. The way my life turned around based on one decision still felt surreal. The image of that day where I was filled with pain and betrayal, loomed larger than life. It felt like a dark cloud hovering above me, yet, str

ALPHA JOHN XAVIER: Diane and I walked into the grand venue for the Nightshade pack's anniversary celebration, and her eyes instantly widened in surprise. "Wow, darling, look at these designs! They're so beautiful," she said with real admiration. I followed her gaze and saw the carefully crafted decorations. Bright golden balloons decorated the entrance, shining in the warm light above. In the middle of the red carpet, there was a large arch, covered in red and black fabrics, with strip lights wrapped around it. I couldn't help but nod in agreement, a faint smile forming on my lips. "You're beautiful too," I murmured, my eyes briefly scanning Diane in her short, figure-hugging blue gown. Even though she wore a bit too much makeup for my taste, I couldn't deny her natural beauty. At my compliment, Diane's face lit up. She leaned in and pressed a soft kiss on my cheek. "It's been a while since you've complimented me," she whispered, her breath gently tickling my skin. I responded

EVELYN'S POV:The loud applause filled the grand hall as I finished my speech. I was filled with excitement and a bit of nervousness. I didn’t expect Simone to put me in the spotlight like this, else I would have at least prepared a speech.Winnie flashed me a thumbs up and a wink from the crowd, her eyes shining with pride, and I felt thankful for her support.As I made my way back to my seat, I saw Simone smiling warmly at me, and couldn’t help but return it with a small nod. He knew how uncomfortable I was with such public attention, but he insisted I be the one to unveil the DeepBlue project.I could only hope I didn’t disappoint him.Winnie and I found a quiet corner in the bar area, away from the bustling crowd. She handed me a glass of sparkling wine and we clinked them in a toast.“Cheers,” we said in unison, chuckling heartily.Winnie’s shimmering gown caught the light, and her hair was neatly pulled back in a high ponytail, highlighting her features.“I didn’t expect such a

EVELYN POV:Beside Harry, Bea piqued with curiosity. "A solution? There's a solution to it? If that's the case then for your child's health you need to..." I immediately cut her off, snapping, "To what?" as I fixed Bea with an angry glare. She was surprised at the look because she obviously had never seen me look at someone like that. I knew exactly who Harry was talking about - that devil, Alpha John. He was the only one with that cursed condition of shifting at a young age, and he had passed it down to my son. I was so mad that he met him. I was so mad that he touched his hand. I was so mad that he even still existed.The very thought of my son being anywhere near Alpha John, the man who had once been my mate but treated me worse than a slave, made me shiver with anger.My hands flew up to my hair, fingers threading through the silky strands as I swiftly gathered it will into a tight ponytail, the ribbon securing it firmly. The familiar motion helped ground me, but my body still t

EVELYN POVI placed my hands on my chest, feeling a little pain there as I began coughing. My hands were shaking as I opened the computer and tried to connect it to the projector, but I couldn't."Is everything okay, Ms.?" one of the shareholders beside me asked. I gave a faint smile and nodded my head.My eyes drifted to John, who was still staring at me. I felt like throwing up as I could understand why I was feeling this way.But I had to focus, get things done quickly, and leave. I connected my computer to the projector and began presenting the diagram of the oil construction building, both its interior and exterior, through a slideshow."Looking at the layout, I have to say the architect did a great job with each offices and rooms. But what about the environmental impact? How will you ensure it’s safe for the environment?"One of the investors, and if I looked closely, it was Alpha Jude who asked me. I took a deep breath before answering."With the building's layout in every slid

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

JOHNWhat 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.Then, fina

EVEYLN John’s face went stiff the moment he saw her outside. It was obvious he hadn’t expected her to be there. Diane’s eyes found me first then her expression twisted, like she was surprised to see even my figure here since John didn't tell her about my coming to this Pack, before it hardened into anger. Her hands clenched into fists at her sides.She opened her mouth to say something, but before she could, a feminine voice spoke from behind her.“What’s going on out here? Come inside.”A middle-aged woman stepped into view, her diamond earrings catching the light. She had the kind of quiet authority that made it clear she was used to being listened to. Her sharp eyes flicked to Diane, who immediately softened, her expression shifting just enough to look composed.“Yes… Mum,” Diane said, her voice suddenly sweet and controlled. “It’s nothing, really. I just saw John outside with… her.” She gestured toward me, forcing a smile. “I guess I got a little upset.”The woman, John’s mother,

EVEYLNThe strong, scent of herbs and burning incense filled the air as we stepped into the Pack Witch’s cavern. It was filled with old skulls, bones and oil carrying the echoes of old rituals and quiet prayers to the Moon Goddess. This was a sacred place where sacrifices were made, secrets were shared, and the pack sought guidance from forces beyond our understanding.John and I sat on a long, worn bench, the softness of hare fur beside us. He leaned in and murmured, suggesting we summon her instead. I shook my head, firm. "No, we go to her. That’s how it’s done." As Alpha, he had the power to command otherwise, but tradition still mattered to me, at least.The old woman’s sharp eyes locked onto my son like daggers. He kept his head down, avoiding her stare. I could understand what he was feeling at that moment, the unease. It wasn’t surprising, there was something unsettling about the Pack Witch’s gaze, her brows furrowed but her eyes were wide.Pack witch's eyes are always like tha

GIOVANNIAfter the meeting with Diane, I stormed out and as I reached my car, I slammed my hands onto the hood, the metal shuddering. Her smug little speech about her new plans echoed in my head, each word grating on my nerves like nails on a chalkboard."How the hell did she find out?" I muttered through clenched teeth, my voice sharp with anger. I glanced around the parking lot, my mind racing. Who told her? Does she have someone feeding her information?The thought made my blood boil. She was always one step ahead, always pulling strings I didn’t even know existed.Straightening up, I clenched my fists, a slow smirk creeping onto my lips. What can I use against her? How do I make sure she never tries to control me again?I shook my head, my jaw tightening. No one controls me, I growled, the fire inside me burning hotter. I’m Alpha Giovanni. I control and I don’t get controlled.I pulled into my private garage at the Pack, shutting off the engine. The low hum faded.Carlo came rushi

EVEYLNThe moment we arrived at the villa, we rushed toward the commotion at the gate. Six men stood there, their tense stances making it clear they weren’t welcome. The guards had blocked their path, refusing to let them in.One was about to enter like he was trying again but the guard their shook his head, his hands still spread across the gate.Andrew stepped forward, his voice sharp. "And who the hell are you?" he demanded, eyes narrowing as we got closer.The men didn’t back down, but their heated glares bore down to those guards. I studied their faces carefully, and then it hit me, I recognized one of them. As if sensing it, they all shifted their attention to me, lowering their heads in respect. Not to John, who stood tall beside me, but to me alone."They say they’re from the NightShade Pack, Alpha," one of John’s warriors said, his tone laced with sarcasm, meanwhile John scoffed like he understood what the situation was. Of course, I already knew too that they were here beca

EVEYLNI sighed and rolled my eyes as I started up the stairs. He followed closely behind, carrying Harriet in his arms. His grin widened, and for some reason, it made my chest feel heavy. When he asked me that question, I knew it wasn’t true—but still, I couldn’t bring myself to deny it. Why couldn’t I just tell him the real reason?Beta Andrew reached the top of the stairs and opened the first door. “Here we are,” he said, stepping inside.I followed him in. The room was spotless, with a neatly made bed and crisp sheets tucked perfectly in place. At least I wouldn’t have to worry about cleaning just unpacking and putting our clothes away in the cupboard.Bea wouldn’t be here until later, she’d told me earlier she had some things to take care of.Just as I opened my bag and started pulling out clothes to hang in the cupboard, my phone rang.I glanced at the screen and saw Elena’s name. A small smile tugged at my lips as I answered."Hey, babe! Where are you?" she asked curiously. "Be

EVELYN POVEven after all this time, coming back to this pack still stirs something deep inside me, a connection I wish I didn’t have. It feels like the ground remembers me. Leaving wasn’t easy. Even with Harriet in the hospital, it took me two days to pack. I made time because I had no choice. This wasn’t just another visit, it was something I couldn’t ignore. My Harry was in danger.Ahead, John’s car led the way, winding through familiar roads. He insisted on taking the lead, and I let him. Not because I didn’t remember the way I did but because he needed to feel in control. So I stayed quiet and let him.From the backseat, I caught glimpses of pack members turning their heads, trying to see into my car. The tinted windows kept me hidden. But I could feel their curiosity pressing against the glass, their need to know who had come with their Alpha.We stopped in front of a villa, a two-story building with walls so polished they looked newly built. The place felt untouched, like no on

GIOVANNI "Boss, Alpha John came looking for Elvis at the construction site,"As soon as I read the message, I snapped my phone shut and shoved it into my pocket. My jaw clenched. I couldn’t leave Evelyn now, not after what I saw last night. The image burned in my mind: their lips pressed together, her arms wrapped around him like he was her whole world.The memory cut deep in my mind. My chest ached with a rage I could barely hold back. It hurt so much I wanted to storm into her room, rip him away from her, and destroy him with my bare hands.No one could ever love Evelyn the way I do. No one. Every sacrifice, every sleepless night, every risk I took it was all for her. And yet, after everything, she’s back with him. Her ex.A bitter laugh escaped me. Fine. If she thinks she can love him again, I’ll make sure she hates him instead. "Don’t worry, Evelyn," I said softly, trying to ease her worry.
