EVELYN POV

“Mom, what’s this?”

Harry's eyes widened as he pointed at the laptop screen in front of us. He was sitting on my lap, his tiny fingers almost touching the image of a tall oil construction building that I had just opened.

“It’s an oil building, sweetheart,” I replied, smiling gently. “But even if I tried to explain, you might not get it just yet.”

“What’s an oil building?” he asked, curiosity lighting up his face.

I sighed softly, scrolling down to show him more of the image. “It’s a place where workers help make oil. It’s all about oil production,” I explained, hoping to make it clearer for him.

Harry pouted, his eyes glued to the screen as I closed the image. Suddenly, my office door swung open.

“Uncle!” he shouted, jumping off my lap, his face lighting up with a big smile. He dashed toward Simone, who spread his arms wide, grinning.

“My boy!” Simone exclaimed, wrapping Harry in a warm hug and lifting him high into the air.

“Uncle, your white hair is getting so much! The

    EVELYN POVHarry's hands cupped his cheeks as John flashed a wide, almost smug grin. I hadn't seen John smile like that before, but honestly, I didn’t care. It only disgusted me that he dared to call himself a "dad." That title should be earned, not thrown around."Harry, come here. Let’s go." I said with a cheerful voice but he shook his head."No, let Mr. Handsome carry me today," Harry replied, his words laced with admiration as he glanced up at John.I clenched my fists, my stomach knotting. Harry kept going on about John's "perfect" features—his eyebrows, his smile, everything. I could feel my anger bubbling up as I rolled my eyes and started walking toward the workers."Ma'am?"One of the workers, his eyes lighting up when he saw me approach, immediately bowed his head."Welcome, ma'am. I’m Elvis, the senior worker here. I’m sure you came to look around with your husband."My smile faltered, and I pulled my hand back from his outstretched one as my gaze flicked to John, still st

My stomach twisted in knots as I felt like throwing a saliva on his face. "Leave my mummy alone! Don't hurt her! You're not my Mr. Handsome anymore!" Harry screamed, his little hands thrusting out the car window. His face tightened with determination as he leaned forward, as if trying to shove John away with nothing but his strength.John flinched, his confidence faltering. His grip on me loosened, and for a moment, I saw him crack—his toughness breaking down in the face of Harry’s fierce innocence.I didn’t waste a second. I shoved John off me with all the strength I had left, barely pausing before I scrambled into the car."Drive," I barked at the driver, and without a second thought, the car lurched forward, leaving John standing in the dust."Mummy, are you okay?" Harry’s voice was soft, trembling, his small eyes searching my face as if looking for

    ALPHA JOHN "Thornfield School?" I asked Beta Andrew, my voice sharp with curiosity. He nodded, a solemn expression on his face. "That's where her two kids go." We stepped out of the car, the crisp air brushing against my skin as I tilted my head slightly to the left, trying to piece his words together. "What do you mean by two kids?" I asked, narrowing my eyes. "She has another one?" Andrew hesitated, his gaze flickering to the ground before meeting mine. "No, Alpha. They're twins—a boy and a girl. Harry and Harriet." My steps faltered, a jolt of realization crashing into me. My fists clenched tightly at my sides, my knuckles whitening. She gave birth to twins. Twins... for Giovanni? "How dare she?" I spat, my voice trembling with rage. "How dare she spread her legs for Giovanni? Why would she do that?" The words tasted bitter on my tongue, but the pain in my chest was worse. It clawed at me . The emptiness I’d been carrying didn’t just linger—it grew heavier, sharper

    JOHN POV"I would have come to your place, but you honored my pack by visiting. It's a little concerning, but I’m grateful," I said, forcing a smile.I couldn’t help but notice how he looked. Sharp jawline, green eyes, and his shoulder-length hair pulled back into a neat ponytail. Sure, he was handsome, but that was all he had, right? He wasn't even better than me. How dare Evelyn cheat on me with him?He glanced around, admiring the walls lined with paintings and towering statues. "I love your pack's museum," His voice trailed off as he studied the massive Moon Goddess statues. They were crafted from the rarest materials—rose gold, silver, and gold gleaming under the light. Surrounding her were the sculptures of her descendants, wolves' heads, and other intricate relics that spoke of ancient times. "Nothing entertaining here," I muttered."Wrong," he countered, his eyes flicking to mine. With a casual shrug, he adjusted the brown jacket draped over his suit and pants, his black leat

    JOHN POVWhat kind of messed-up question was that? It hit me harder than I expected, like a punch I didn’t see coming. Was he trying to plant the idea that he's married to Evelyn? There’s no ring on her finger to back that up, so why even bring it up? I stood there, watching as he turned to leave the pack. Only Beta Andrew bothered to wave, and I forced a hollow, no-smile response. He climbed into his limited-edition G-Wagon, the engine growling to life before he sped off, leaving nothing but dust in his wake. I bit my tongue, forcing myself to stay silent when that question was asked. Did it change anything? No. Am I still going to chase her down? Hell yes. With everything in me, my soul, my spirit, and the fire burning in my chest. It feels like my life depends on it. And my wolf, Zae? He’s furious.The bond between Evelyn and me is breaking, and the pain is unbearable. If I were him, I’d have already broken free from my human body and torn someone apart for putting us through thi

I dragged in a shaky breath, trying to silence the chaos in my head, trying not to believe the words I’d just overheard spilling from his office. My gaze dropped to the contract papers trembling in my hand. These were the proof that it was my father who suggested investing in the project, not me.I had respected his command as a good fucking Luna when he told me not to, hadn’t I? And yet... And yet this is al what I got in return? Betrayal?Anger flared in my chest, hot and suffocating. My hands clenched, crumpling the papers as my vision blurred. My eyes burned red with unshed tears when I heard footsteps approaching from the other side of the door. Panicked, I sniffed hard, darting behind it just as it swung open.Beta Andrew stepped through, his sharp gaze immediately finding me. His shoulders sagged as he closed the door behind him and bowed his head slightly.“I’m sorry, ma’am,” he

Without wasting a second, I slammed on the gas, the tires squealing as we sped off down the street. My heart pounded in sync with the hum of the engine, I couldn’t afford to lose time. It was their closing hour, and I knew that woman, that conniving witch, might already be there to take her kids out of the school."Diane, slow down!" Aria's voice laced with worry s I rolled my eyes. "For goddess' sake, what if you get us into trouble?""Not now, Aria," I muttered through clenched teeth, my eyes darting between the road ahead and the rearview mirror. The cars in front of me seemed to drive into my path, as I swerved sharply to dodge one, then another.Finally, the highway stretched behind us, and I ran onto a less crowded street.

The staff glanced up, bowing their heads in respect as I passed by, and I returned their gestures with a warm smile.“This way, Ms.,” Simone's assistant said, extending his arm toward Simone's office before bowing slightly.Nacro Fashions Jewelry was officially investing in the project. This was a huge deal—partnering with a major player in the fashion industry!I opened the door to the office and found Simone lounging on the couch, a coffee cup cradled in his hands. He took a slow sip before placing the cup on the table that sat between the two couches."Sorry for being late. My apologies," I said, my eyes darting around the room. Then I spotted him—a frail old man seated across from Simone, with a young woman beside him."It's fine," the old man replied, his voice calm and steady. "Your presence here already means a lot."I nodded with a small smile, but my attention shifted

    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.

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.

    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.
