Rejected And Betrayed: Chasing My Luna Back. 15. My Evelyn?
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

EVELYN POV That's the most insane thing I've heard all day. His woman? I scoffed driving away and glancing back briefly. I don’t even want to know what he’s doing. That bastard needs to be taught a lesson before he tries calling me more stupid names.What’s my fate, Moon Goddess? Why is it that I can’t even have a peaceful comeback? He should have suffered more, it would have been so satisfying to watch him as he did. Pee! Pee! Pee!I slammed my hand on the steering wheel, hoping the gate guards would hear me. But no one came out. Just then, my phone started vibrating inside my black Birkin bag. I opened it, pulled out my phone, and checked the screen. The name that appeared was Winnie."How’s your day—" Before I could finish, she cut me off abruptly. "Come to the Pack clinic immediately! Why haven’t you been answering your calls?" she yelled, her voice filled with concern. "What’s going on?" I asked, alarmed, my curiosity growing as I quickly turned the steering wheel an

EVELYNNo, this doesn't make any sense!. There has to be a way for this to stop. Moon Goddess, please, I beg of you. What kind of cruel solution is this? Just thinking about it only makes me angrier."Please, he can't meet his father after everything he did to the mother of his children. How can we be sure the ritual will succeed? If he hates me, he will likely hate his children too, especially since his Luna already has a child for him, if I'm not mistaken."I spoke in a soft, sorrowful voice, and as I did, Harry's eyes slowly began to open. The grip on my hand loosened, and he used the back of his hand to rub his eyes. I took a sigh of relief with a small smile on my face."The temporary solution is that he has to stop school for a while and continue with the modern medication. That's the only way he can survive this illness."The pack witch bowed her head, turned, and began to leave. He will stop school for now, right? That’s not the problem, but there are no answers as to why he h

EVELYN POV"Nice to meet you again, Evelyn," he said, extending his hand for a handshake. I hesitated for a moment before shaking it, watching as he stood up from his chair."We’ll have this conversation later, Mr. Andrew," Simone said, her tone firm. He nodded and walked out of the office."I'm sure you're familiar with him, Evelyn. That's Alpha John's Beta, Andrew.""What's he doing here?" I blurted out, struggling to keep my anger in check."I invited him over after we scheduled the appointment. Since they're now one of our core business partners and we'll be working together, I’ll need to start meeting with them regularly." He stood up, slipping his glasses off and holding them loosely in one hand. His eyes locked on mine as he placed both hands firmly on my shoulders. "Evelyn, remember you're not the kind of person who lives in fear anymore. You can overcome any obstacle in your way. Have you forgotten everything I’ve taught you?" He searched my eyes, his gaze steady and pro

EVELYN POV“Are you serious right now? This is why you came back?” I raised an eyebrow, my voice dripping with disbelief as he let out a heavy sigh.“You’re the only Luna most of us recognize. Some of our pack members really miss you…” he started, his tone earnest.Before he could finish, laughter bubbled up from me. I didn’t know why it struck me as so funny, but it did. I could see right through him, he was sent by Alpha John. The desperation in his voice was obvious, as if he was trying hard to win favor with the Alpha.“Stop wasting your time. I don’t believe you, and even if it’s true, I don’t care. Just leave, before the guards throw you out!” I warned, my voice sharp as I turned away from him. He remained seated, ignoring my command.I picked up my phone, scrolling through the company’s website, when the waiter approached, placing a meal on the table.“Congratulations, ma’am! You’re such a role model,” he said in a low voice, his curly hair bouncing as he smiled. I returned his

EVELYNI slapped my hands over my mouth, breathing quickly and shallowly. My chest tightened as disbelief took over. I gripped the edge of the table, trying to stay still as my legs wobbled beneath me. A bitter scoff escaped my lips."So... So that means he deceived me?" I whispered, my voice shaking."He just wanted the information, Evelyn," he muttered. "And now he has it. I’m honestly shocked. No wonder, whenever I asked about the father of your kids, you always said he was dead. Why didn’t you tell me? Didn’t you trust me?"He crossed his arms tightly over his chest, staring at me with disappointment. I shook my head, unable to meet his eyes."It’s not like that, Reuben," I said quickly. "I just wanted to keep it from certain people… to protect my kids from finding out.""Oh! So that means I'm a blabbermouth?" he replied, raising an eyebrow.I shot him a sharp side-eye with a small chuckle. We both knew the truth, but I wasn’t ready to admit it."Now that you know," I said, my voi

EVELYNMy heart stuttered, my breath hitching as an icy grip tightened around my chest. My fists clenched at my sides, nails biting into my palms as I dragged in a shaky breath, deliberately avoiding his piercing gaze. “What the heck are you talking about? You should leave, John. It’s obvious she doesn’t want you here,” Reuben bellowed looking at him like he wants to throw a fist at his face. “I’m waiting for my answer, Evelyn,” John interrupted with a firm voice. His eyes never left me.“I… I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I stammered, my voice barely above a whisper. My throat tightened as tears threatened to spill, but I swallowed hard, determined not to break down in front of him. “Wait.” Reuben tilted his head, his voice dripping with disbelief as he turned to John. “Are you trying to say that Harry and Harriet are your kids?” John let out a heavy sigh. “This,” he said, raising the paper in his hand. "is the evidence to prove they are my biological children. Evelyn

EVELYNI scoffed. If it wasn’t Giovanni, then… who? I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the red skirt and suit I had put on. The sharp lines of the outfit hugged me perfectly, making me look confident. I pulled my hair back into a neat ponytail, with the strands falling neatly into place, and finished with a bold layer of red lipstick. My jewelry—earrings, bracelets, and a necklace shone softly under the light. Polished. Composed. Exactly how I needed to look."Have you forgotten that you were injured last night? You must’ve gotten the scents mixed up," I said to Vivi as I grabbed my black bag from the table."I guess so," she murmured in my mind.I brushing off the nagging thought as I stepped out of my room. My heels clicked against the floor as I walked swiftly down the hallway, but my mind drifted to Harry. Without thinking, my pace quickened. When I reached his door, I turned the knob and pushed it open without hesitation. There he was, already awake, sitting comfortably

Her words sent a chill through me, but I kept my face neutral, not wanting to worry her more. Inside, though, my heart was racing.But I can't help but wonder, why didn’t Bea say anything to me? Was she planning to tell me later, or... did she not notice it because she was shifting then? My chest tightens as I wrestle with these thoughts. Gosh, this is driving me crazy. My eyes flick over to John, who’s sitting across from me. I notice him tilting his head slightly, his brow furrowed in that way he does when he’s deep in thought. It’s like I can almost see the gears turning in his mind, each click making me more anxious. He breaks the silence with a calm voice "That’s called imbalance shifting." I blink, trying to process his words, but before I can respond, Harriet adds, "Mummy said the same thing. She also said he’s a special wolf." I notice John's eyes widen. My own hand trembles slightly as I reach for the spoon, bringing it up to my mouth. But as I lift it, I realize i

EVELYN My fists clenched as soon as I saw John standing at my front door, acting too relaxed, like he owned the place.Without thinking, I walked toward him, ready to push him out of my space. But then I noticed Giovanni standing in the hallway. His jaw was tight, his eyes reddened, like someone had stopped him from coming inside."Evelyn," Gio said with a calm voice as his eyes darted towards me coming outside.John turned at the sound, giving me a smug smile that made my blood boil."Get out of my house," I snapped, my voice sharp. "If you don’t leave now, I’ll call the guards to throw you out. You have no right to be here. How dare you think of stepping foot into his house?"John didn’t move, though his smile faded a bit. I barely looked at him before turning to Gio. My voice softened just a little. "Let’s go inside," I said, turning my back towards the door."It's okay," Gio said softly, his voice gentle as he stepped back. "I just wanted to check if you and the kids are doing fi

"Who are you, and what the heck are you doing here?" Giovanni demanded with his voice sounding breathless.He lay sprawled on the ground, panting heavily, his body fully shifted back into human form. His gaze locked onto Evelyn, draped naked across a man's lap. Sand and streaks of blood clung to their skin. Giovanni blinked rapidly, his vision sharpening and when he finally saw the man's face, his stomach twisted. It was John. His expression darkened instantly, his brows knitting into a deep frown.John’s arms tightened protectively around Evelyn as he crouched behind the cover of a tree, his eyes darting toward the woods. He was trying to shield her, making sure he was alert, watching for the wolves still prowling nearby. The growls and snapping claws echoed in the distance. Giovanni dragged himself closer, his jaw clenched as his eyes bore into John. "Get your hands off her," he growled with a low voice.John’s head snapped towards Giovanni, his face hardening.

Panic squeezed at my chest.“No, no…” I whispered, my voice shaking. “It can’t be Moon Goddess Day. Not today.”I stumbled, my legs giving way as I fought against the shift. The dining room seemed miles away, each step a battle against the wolf trying to take control. My wolf, Vivi, growled inside me, her presence growing stronger.“Ahh!” I cried out, clutching my sides, desperate to hold her back. My breath came in ragged gasps. “Vivi, please! Not now!”Her pull was raging inside of me, no matter how hard I tried it wasn't going to work and I need to save my kids and atleast lock them inside the room. I collapsed to my knees, nails scraping the floor as my claws fully emerged. My body trembled violently, caught in the struggle between human and wolf.This was the cruel reality of Moon Goddess Day.

“Mummy, what are you making for dinner?” Harriet asked, bouncing on her legs. Her eyes sparkled with curiosity as she watched her mother stir the pot on the stove.“Mashed rice and vegetables,” Evelyn replied with a warm smile, gently ruffling Harriet’s hair.“Can I help?” Harriet's small voice chimed.Evelyn shook her head, her hands still busy. “No, sweetheart. Go watch a movie with your brother, Harry. I’ll call you when it’s ready, okay?”Harriet frowned but didn’t argue. Instead, she turned and padded over to the cabinet. Climbing onto a tall stool, she reached for a knife to cut some leaves. “Harriet, wait!” Evelyn’s voice rang out, gently, stopping her in her tracks. “Come on, you’ll hurt yourself; it’s sharp!” Evelyn warned, glancing at the knife in her daughter’s hands.“Is it so wrong for me to help you in the kitchen, Mum?” Harriet asked, her eyes wide with surprise.Evelyn shook her head, taken aback by the question.

A cold, sharp ache pierced my chest, leaving me breathless. The phone slipped from my hand, tumbling toward the floor. Before it hit the ground, Aria snatched it up."They're his biological kids!" I blurted as I scoffed in disbelief.I froze, my eyes fixed on the DNA report spread out on the table. My stomach twisted in knots, and tears burned at the edges of my eyes. The lines of text blurred, but I couldn’t look away. My hands shook as I fumbled to call the doctor who had performed the test. I needed to hear it from him. I needed to know if what I was seeing was real. "Jeez, Diane, I told you these are legit! But no, you'd rather call the doctor to confirm," Aria voiced as she stepped closer and reached out to me, trying to grab my hand. "Look, let's just leave the hospital. Staying here doesn’t make any sense.
