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 did

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

DIANE POV"Damn it, I missed again," I muttered, frustrated, as I threw the bow to the ground.Aria bent down to pick it up, moving carefully, almost like she was unsure. "Haven't you hurt her enough already?" she said sharply. "You've been making her suffer. Maybe it's time to let her be."I turned to John, clenching my jaw. He was the reason the arrow missed and hit the tree instead of her. He was always hanging around her, never giving her space. And Aria thought I was the one who needed to back off?"Let’s just go home. You know this is the Pack witch’s territory, she might notice," Aria said, her voice low and urgent as she slipped her hand into mine. We walked away without saying anything else."But there’s no way she survived that car crash!" I said, my voice rising in anger. I ran my hands through my hair, trying to make sense of it all. "She should be in the hospital or something, barely hanging on."Aria let out a soft chuckle, which only made me more annoyed."Instead of ob

EVEYLN“Don’t you want to go inside and rest?” Winnie asked gently, her voice filled with worry.I let out a long sigh and closed my eyes. A cool breeze brushed against my skin, carrying the earthy smell of the forest. It felt peaceful, just what I needed. I took a deep breath, filling my lungs, then slowly opened my eyes.I shook my head and looked at Winnie, choosing not to acknowledge John walking quietly next to me.“I’m okay, really,” I said with a smile. “I just want to walk a little. And now that Harry’s curse won't affect anytime soon and he can control his shifting... that’s more than enough to help me feel at peace.” “You’re right. At least now he can go to school without being bullied for it,” Winnie said.I nodded slowly, glancing at her as she exchanged a quick look with John. Honestly, she wasn’t very good at hiding whatever was going on between them, it showed clearly on her face. John, on the other hand, kept looking straight ahead, his face calm and hard to read. But

"Hey! Let go of my hair!" she shouted, struggling to break free. She scratched at his arm, but he didn’t let go.John smirked as he finally pulled his hand away from her hair in a roughly manner.She stepped back, breathing hard. Her hands shook as she fixed her hair, her eyes burning with anger. "What’s the point of bringing up the past when you’ve already ruined the future?"John gave a dry laugh, hands stuffed in his pockets. "If you want to know why the future fell apart, shouldn’t you start by looking at what went wrong in the past?"She looked him over, her voice cold. "Wasn’t it already stopped?""You stopped because you found out I’m the heir to the Silvermoon Pack," he blurted out. "If I didn’t have power, if I were just some nobody you would’ve kept going, wouldn’t you?"She gave a dry laugh, putting her hands on her hips like she didn’t care, even though his words were true."I don’t care about the past, alright?" she snapped. "If you can’t move on, that’s your issue. All I

JOHNNot Giovanni telling his bodyguards to tie me up just because I spoke the truth about his past. I can't wait to expose him, but first, I need proof so everyone will believe me and I'll make sure Giovanni proves it himself.I have to use my claws to tear the ropes and escape his Pack. I need to see my son and keep teaching him how to control his shift, especially since he's so young and determined to learn. Plus, the ritual is happening this evening. When I arrived at the Pack Witch’s place, I froze, seeing that we have guests here. I saw Giovanni. My fists clenched on instinct, heat rushing to my face. But then I noticed something, his eyes. They were shifting nervously, and his posture was tense, like he was being watched.The Pack Witch stood in front of him, her sharp eyes locked on him like a predator cornering its prey. It looked like she was questioning him. When our eyes met, Giovanni’s shoulders dropped, and he let out a quiet sigh of relief.If Winnie and Evelyn hadn’t

EVEYLN“Daddy!” Harry yelled, his voice echoing through the cave. He jumped up and ran to John as soon as he walked in. Hugging him tightly.I rolled my eyes. Of course.The room felt tense, like there was electricity in the air. She kept asking questions about John to him like he held him and he looked just as confused as I felt. I couldn’t blame him, if someone asked me such weird questions, I’d be lost too.“Traffic was terrible today. That’s why I’m late,” John muttered. He spoke to the Pack witch, who slowly nodded.I watched John for a moment. He kept looking at Giovanni. Giovanni noticed and scoffed, giving a small sneer before turning away to stare at something across the cave. Now that John was finally here, I thought maybe we could start the ritual and hope it would all go smoothly.I didn’t even look at John. I was too focused on Harry, Giovanni, and my friend Winnie. They felt more important at the moment or maybe it was just easier than dealing with everything else.Harr

EVEYLN “You want to fire Bea?” Winnie asked, surprised, as she poured orange juice into my glass.A warm breeze moved through the patio, lifting her hair while the golden sunset was gradually fading. I sighed and reached for my glass on the table.“I’m not sure,” I said, slowly swirling the juice. “But something about her just feels… off.”“Off? Just like that?” Winnie frowned and moved her chair closer to mine, its legs sliding softly on the wooden deck. She looked at me carefully. I looked around, my eyes landing on the house. Giovanni might still be inside with Harriet. I then remembered his red knuckles that I noticed when I was in the hospital. Had he gotten into a fight or something?“What do you think about her?” I asked, breaking the silence.“Me?” Winnie blinked and pointed at herself like she was surprised. I nodded.“She’s a good woman,” she said firmly, leaning back in her chair. “You’ve seen how she takes care of your kids. You better stop thinking like that.”I sighed

EVEYLNThe strong smell of medicine hit my nose as I slowly opened my eyes. I looked left, then right, noticing the pale walls and stiff sheets. It didn’t take long to realize I was in a hospital bed."Finally, you're awake, Evelyn," said a voice I recognized. It was soft and full of relief.I turned my head toward the sound, my heart skipping a beat. "Winnie?" I said, confused.She nodded and gave me a small, unsure smile. Before I could say anything else, another voice spoke up in a calm but worried tone."You fainted from the shock," I looked over to the chair next to my bed and saw Reuben sitting there, his eyebrows pulled together with concern. The memory hit me all at once, fast and messy. I remembered holding the steering wheel tightly as I turned onto an empty road, the car going faster by the second. I had picked that road on purpose, hoping to avoid hurting anyone. Then suddenly, another car appeared beside me, and the driver yelled through the open window."Jump out of th

EVELYN"Where’s John?" I asked sharply as I walked into the villa. I saw Bea relaxing in the living room.She looked up and shook her head. "He left this morning. I don’t know where he went," she said casually.Embezzlement? Money laundering? And all those shady deals? Didn’t he understand how much trouble this could cause? How it could ruin the whole project if he got caught?I sighed in frustration, gripping the back of the couch, trying to calm myself. I had to find him. He had a lot of explaining to do. "Evelyn, a group of people came to see you today," Bea said carefully."Huh?" I looked at her, confused. "What do you mean?"She paused, then added, "They were women.""Women?" I asked, narrowing my eyes and that's when my mind went to the Women Affairs Group. "Are they trying to embarrass me even more?" I rolled my eyes and walked to the dining table, pouring a glass of water to calm down."Bea," I said, glancing at her. "Do you remember Mimi?"Bea turned toward me, looking curio

JOHN"We have a problem, Alpha," Andrew said quietly as he walked behind me.I turned to him."I think news of Chino's death is spreading through the Pack," he added carefully.I didn’t respond, because I have lots of important things to deal with. My attention shifted to the balcony ahead, where his maids said he’d be.I froze when I saw him. He was calmly stacking papers on the table, a smug smirk on his face. Of course, this bastard already knew I was here. He always did."I expected you sooner," he said without looking up. He tapped the papers into place, then glanced at me, eyes gleaming. "I have someone to meet, after all." He slowly lifted his head, locking eyes with me, amusement flickering in his gaze.My fists clenched so tightly my knuckles felt like they might split. The urge to hit him filled inside of me, a punch, a fight, anything to see his blood on the floor."You’re in deep trouble, Mr. John," he said mockingly. "In case you didn’t know."Without waiting for a respo
