DIANEI sped into the pack, tires screeching as the palace came into view. A crowd had formed near the side wing, Renai's side. Something was wrong. Slamming the car door behind me, I stepped out. All eyes turned in my direction. I didn't know who had made the call, but the tension here told me everything I needed to know, this was serious. "What’s going on here?" I demanded. Clusters of women stood together, murmuring. A few turned to glance at me; others simply rolled their eyes and looked away.Fuck!That reaction could only mean one thing, bad news.“I have proof they’re the Alpha’s children,” I recognized that voice pretty well it was Evelyn as she stood in front of the crowd. Her voice began trembling. “The Moon Goddess gave me twins,a boy and a girl. He’s at school right now, and my daughter…” Her voice broke. She wiped at her tears, head bowed. “She’s mute now.”“Was she born that way?” a woman asked.My heart thudded in my chest as Evelyn slowly lifted her head. She was ab
EVEYLNHonestly, I didn’t expect Renai to say that. A few people in the crowd nodded slowly, their eyes narrowing with thought, while others glanced around, unsure which side to take.John wasn’t here, probably busy getting ready for the Annual Meeting.“Don’t worry,” Renai said, tapping my shoulder gently. “Everything’s under control. I’ll hand over the flash drive to the elders so they can make the final call.”A few hours later, I stood in the mansion’s hallway, the silence pressing in like a weight. I wiped at my cheeks, trying to calm my breath as I took a deep breathe. The sting in my chest wasn’t from the tears, it was from the truth. I couldn't believe that I'm leaving with the lady who almost killed my daughter, it just broke me thinking about it.“Evelyn…”Andrew’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts as he appeared at the end of the hallway. I quickly wiped my face and forced a smile.“It’s okay to cry,” he said, walking toward me. His voice was gentle. “Don’t hold it in. Wh
ANNUAL COUNCIL MEETING DAY"Are you okay? Diane is supposed to go, not me," Evelyn said as she stepped into her room, blocking the doorway just as John was about to follow. She shut the door behind her, leaving him outside.The meeting was only a few hours away, and she still couldn’t believe he’d asked her to come instead of Diane."I can't take her," John said from the hallway, his voice firm. "It’s you I want there."Evelyn hesitated, her hand lingering on the doorknob. "Are you sure your mum will be okay with that?" she asked.He gave a dry scoff in reply.She turned toward the wardrobe and pulled it open. A black gown with silver stones swayed gently on its hanger, catching the light. She stared at it, frozen for a moment. When she turned around, John was smiling through the narrow gap in the doorway.“Enough playing hard to get,” he said with a grin. “Come with me.”"John..." she started, her voice barely above a whisper.But he didn’t let her finish. “I’ll be back in an hour.”
EVELYN "Are you daft? Don't you know I prefer my coffee with less sugar?" Diane yelled, her eyes wide with anger as she glared at me. Her hands shook with rage and immediately, she splashed the hot coffee all over my face.The burning liquid ran down, and I flinched, my heart racing as I wiped my eyes. The sting of her anger hurt more than the coffee itself.Have you ever seen a pack where Luna is still neglected and treated like a slave, even after getting married?Well, that’s me. I’m Evelyn Matthew, a 20-year-old girl who is mated to the powerful Alpha John from the Silver Moon pack. He was my second chance mate, a sparkle of hope after my first mate cruelly rejected me. It was the most painful experience of my life, a memory that haunts me since I was barely 18. My parents are dead, and now I live in the slave quarters where most omegas and orphans stay and are mistreated by the citizens of the Silver Moon pack.When I found out that my second chance mate was the Alpha of the pac
.EVELYN Everything I was feeling at that moment came to a sudden halt. I slowly lifted my head, as I strained to comprehend what I just heard. A sharp wince escaped my lips, my body protesting as I attempted to shift my weight onto the edge of the bed. What was he talking about? Rejection? My heart sank like a stone in my chest. As I gazed up at him, my eyes widened in disbelief. I couldn't even stand on my feet properly because of the cold shivers running down my spine as soon as he finished that statement. My knees went weak. "Alpha John..." I managed to whisper, my voice trembling. “You heard me.” He interrupted coldly, his tone sharp and brutal. I shook my head in disbelief, and gathered my strength to stand up straight. I looked up at him and noticed the tight lines etched across his forehead and the way his jaw clenched. He was dead serious. But why? He picked up his shirt from the bed and wore it, standing by the window. His back was turned to me, the fabric of his
“That push was hard, Evelyn,” Diane began, her voice trembling as she wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, a pout forming on her lips. “Why…why did you have to do that when you knew that I was pregnant?” She sobbed more, exaggerating her expression.What... What is she saying? I felt my heart pound in my chest, each beat echoing the fear that coursed through me. When did she ever tell me she was pregnant? What kind of insane accusation is this? "If anything happens to my child, my heir, Evelyn, I won't let you off easy. Is that why you pushed her so hard? So she would lose this baby? Why are you so heartless?" John's voice was filled with disappointment directed at me, and he shook his head, his brow furrowed. His fists were clenched tightly at his sides, knuckles white as if he wanted to punch me.He fully believed her. Just how much did she have him wrapped around her fingers?"Please, believe me, I'm just finding out—"Before I could finish, Diane's loud cries drowned o
EVELYN POVWait, what?My mind was spinning as I tried to understand what he was saying. Confusion hit me hard, and it took a moment for the shocking truth to sink in.The guards opened the back door of the car with cold expressions while Alpha John hurried into the front seat. “No! This can't be happening!” I gasped as panic took over. I shook my head vigorously, fear flooding through me.“No! You can’t do this!” I shouted, struggling against the guards who held me tightly. I thrashed around, but each attempt to break free only made them hold on more firmly.No! There's no way he was going to force me into giving my kidney out to Diane!"Please, just leave me alone! You can't do this to me!" I cried, my voice shaking and tears streaming down my face. I felt desperate as I struggled against the guards' strong grip. I managed to break free with one arm, but their other hand held my other arm tightly.The guards glanced at each other, showing no sign of sympathy.“No! Please! I won't l
EVELYN POV My eyes fluttered open and it seemed like I was getting pulled out of a dark sea. A dull pain filled my head and spread through my body.I blinked against the bright light, my eyelids feeling heavy as I tried to open them.I couldn’t even remember when I passed out. The last thing I remembered was the doctor’s words:“If Alpha John finds out we’re not finished with the first stage, he’ll kill us…”As my vision cleared, I slowly turned my head to the right. Each movement took a lot of effort. My heart sank when I saw the heart rate monitor on the wall, beeping softly. Wires connected it to my chest and left hand, tying me down.Taking a deep breath, I turned slowly to my left, feeling dread in my stomach. There, hanging from an IV pole, was a blood bag, its red contents swaying gently. It was connected to my hand. That was when I realized. I could feel the emptiness in my veins, knowing that my blood was being extracted from my body without my permission.This was the ‘fir

EVEYLN"It's ironic, seeing you here, Evelyn. I didn’t think you’d even want to look at me," Renai said with a dry scoff, her hand gripping the cold iron railing outside as I glanced around the compound, lush with blooming flowers and a neat stretch of carpet grass.She tilted her head, a mocking glint in her eye. "You’ve changed. Gotten bold, haven’t you? Who would've guessed, Evelyn, the once omega slave of this Pack would turn out to be...""I need your help," I cut her off. "And it’s the only way I can forgive you."Renai gave me a slow stare from head to toe, her lips curling into a smirk. "Forgive me?" she echoed with a laugh. "Did I ever do anything worth needing forgiveness for?, Was I among those you maltreated you?"Her words stung, but not because she was wrong. She hadn’t hurt me at least not in the obvious ways. No, she had just sent me on errands, treated me like the omega I was. "And is that what I’m talking about?" I snapped. "I’m talking about the false accusations
DIANE"Hey, open the gate!" I shouted, pounding on the metal frame. My fist hit harder with each knock, my anger burned inside of me. Still, no response. Was she really just going to ignore me? Maybe I should just climb the fence..."Hey! If you're going to cause a scene, do it at your own house," My heart jolted. I spun around and there she was, arms crossed, eyes cold. Before I could think, my feet moved on their own. I stormed up to her and slapped her across the face.She barely flinched. Tossing her hair back like I hadn’t just hit her, she stared me down."Wow," I scoffed. "So you really want your half-dead son to rot in that hospital, huh?" "You see," I said, watching her fists clench at the mention of her son. "I don't give a damn what the card says. I was sent here to get it back. I don’t care if you have to dig through the dirt with your bare hands—just find it, hand it over, and go crawl back to your pathetic little life."God, this Mimi or whatever her fuckass name is, s
EVEYLN"Diane was here," Bea said, glancing at me as I raised my eyebrows."What?" I asked quickly, my heart skipping. "Did she hurt anyone? Is everyone okay?"Bea shook her head, her mouth twisting into a smirk. "No, nothing like that. She just showed up to throw around some stupid warning, telling me you should back off whatever you're planning. But don’t worry," she added, her voice firm, "I told her if she’s got something to say, she better say it to your face, not ours."A warm rush of gratitude filled me. I couldn't help but smile at Bea, wanting to pull her into a hug right then."She was fuming," Bea said with a chuckle, rolling her eyes. I chuckled. "You would've slapped the hell out of her." Once I finished my meal at the dining table, Harry pushed back his chair with a scrape. Without a word, he gathered both our plates and headed toward the kitchen."What? Hey, come back here!" I called after him."No, Mummy, let me do it," he said, flashing a proud grin full of tiny tee
GIOVANNI.I stared at the photo in my hand, as I felt as if my breath was clogged inside my chest. I thought that stupid bitch had burned all the pictures. How the hell was this still here?"Where's the main picture?"Evelyn didn't answer. She just drew in a shaky breath and gently took the phone from my hand. I forced myself to stay still, my fingers itching to smash the damn thing against the floor. Thank the goddess I held back."I told you," I said. "She's dead. Isn't that enough?""Come on, Giovanni," she said, frustration flickering in her eyes. "Have I ever hidden anything from you? This isn't just about you, it’s about the Pack. You need a Luna."She hesitated as I stepped closer, my heart pounding in my ears. I was done holding this back."And what if I want you as my Luna?" I said, finally letting the words spill out. "What if I don't want anyone else?"I looked at her, willing for her to see it, to see how long I'd been holding this in, while she remained blind to how much
EVEYLN"What do you mean, strip me of my rights?""Of course, Evelyn," he murmured, cutting me off before I could say more. He patted the empty spot beside him on the couch so that I will sit. Instead, I flopped down on the opposite side of the cushions as I sighed."You’re no longer a member of this Pack," he muttered. "I respect your choice. But if you want to keep your duties, you'll have to convince John to agree to merge the Packs into one."I let out a harsh scoff, leaning back with my arms crossed. "And why exactly do you think that's a good idea?""But you know it's impossible, right?" he said, leaning forward slightly. "If the elders of Nightshade Pack find out, they'll remove you themselves."As much as I hated to admit it, he was right. Deep down, I didn’t want to lose my high rank in the Pack. I could still remember how proud I was the day I earned it, the way my heart had swelled when I stood beside him during meetings, learning how everything worked."What do you want to
EVELYNMy face turned pale the moment he asked John that question. I didn’t know why, but deep down, I felt he was talking about the girl we had rescued from the nightclub.I glanced around. The people in the restaurant were staring at us, frozen in fear. Some had already grabbed their things and bolted for the door, desperate to get away."You thought you were playing heroes, huh?" the man sneered. "But you had no idea where it would lead you."Suddenly, my phone buzzed in my pocket. I fumbled to pull it out, my hands shaky.It was a message from Giovanni: "Where are you? Come and meet me at the Pack now!" The man turned his eyes on me, especially after John stayed silent, offering only a smug smirk in return."This chick your girl?""Don't even think about laying a hand on her," John warned.The man only laughed, loud and mocking."Whoa, I'm so scared. If I fucked her right in front of you, you wouldn’t do a damn thing," he said, stepping closer.He grabbed a fistful of my hair, ya
