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

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
Rejected And Betrayed: Chasing My Luna Back. 97. Midnight.
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. "I’ll bring a sign language tutor here so she can start practicing for now."Harriet had
