Rejected And Betrayed: Chasing My Luna Back. 39. The phone call.
EVELYN"How dare you make those weak threats?" I snapped, "We all know it’s just talk, nothing but a lot of noise from that big mouth of hers!"I yanked off my earrings and carefully placed them in the jewelry box. My hands trembled slightly, not from fear, but from the weight of everything swirling in my head. As I stood there, my thoughts drifted to earlier today, picking Harriet up from school. She’d been quiet, her looking moody and refusing to talk to me, but I hadn’t found the time to ask what was wrong. I turned on my heel and made my way towards her room.The door creaked softly as I pushed it open. My breath hitched at the sight before me. Giovanni sat on the edge of the bed, her fingers brushing gently over Harriet’s tear-streaked face. Harriet’s eyes were red, swollen with the remnants of tears, and her fragile state hit me like a punch to the chest. My heart sank. Without a word, I crossed the room to her side."Hey," I said softly, crouching down beside her. "What’s going

EVELYN POV"You..." "Before you start cursing me out," he interrupted sharply, "I just wanted to let you know I'll be waiting for you at the construction site tomorrow. Call me when you get there my love, I can't wait to see your beautiful face" I cringed at his last words with my eyes closed. Before I could even respond, the line went dead. I stared at the phone in disbelief, my grip tightening around the phone. "How dare he hang up on me?" I muttered under my breath, A soft scoff came from beside me, pulling my attention. "Was that John?" He asked, raising an eyebrow knowingly. I turned to him, frowning. "How do you know?" He smirked, "The look on your face says it all. So, what did he want?" I rolled my eyes, crossing my arms tightly. "He told me to meet him at the construction site tomorrow. That dickhead! He won't stop bothering me with these calls." I sighed heavily, running my hands over my arms in a vain effort to shake him from my thoughts. But his words lin

EVELYN POV"Someone like you deserves someone far better than me, Alpha Giovanni," I murmured, my voice barely above a whisper. He scoffed,"That's why I want you Ms. Evelyn Matthew but it seems you are making things difficult" There was a silent between us as we made our way towards the last house of the owners of the farmland that had been ravaged by the rogues. The residents froze, their eyes going wide with surprise."Our great Alpha and the Pack Advisor are here!" a middle-aged woman exclaimed softly, as we sensed a relief in her voice. She quickly bowed her head, before gesturing toward the worn couch in the center of the room. "Please, sit down. You so beautiful in person Ms. Evelyn"She complemented as I smiled at her and then my eyes began scanning the house.The house was a modest duplex, one of many homes gifted to the members of the Pack. That alone was a proof to Alpha Giovanni’s generosity, an act of kindness that ensured every wolf had a place to call their own.The o

EVELYN POV"Hey! Speak to me with some respect, or I swear, you'll lose your damn job!" I snapped, my voice sharp and trembling with anger.My chest tightened as my heart pounded like a drum. My vision narrowed, locking onto her. How could she even suggest something like that? My kids? my kids would never do such a thing."Now," I demanded, my tone low but boiling, "explain to me, clearly, like a decent human being, what the hell is going on here. Because from what I’ve been told, my kids were harassed nearly assaulted by one of the students."She froze, blinking at me, her lips parting slightly as if she wanted to say something. But she didn’t. Her gaze lingered on me. I could tell she was just as furious, but right now, I didn’t care. I hadn’t come here expecting this. Not this kind of outrageous, gut-wrenching news.We stepped into her office, where the woman stood with her arms crossed over her chest. I glanced at her, then at the girl wiping tears from her eyes. I couldn’t make s

EVELYN POV I couldn't understand why this was happening, why she was accusing my daughter without any real evidence. The only thing she pointed to was the mark on the middle of her head.“Mummy, please... I really love this school. I don’t want to leave,” my daughter whispered loudly as she rested her head on my shoulder.Her words hit me hard. It was the only thing keeping me from pulling them out of that awful school. How could anyone love a place like this? But I couldn’t bear to see my child upset. I was the kind of mother who would do anything to make my kids happy, whatever it took.And let me tell you, my dearest child won’t be the one facing the Anti-Bullying Committee. Oh no. I’ll make sure her child does instead. That evening, I found myself at Mr. Simone’s exclusive bar, the kind of place reserved for only the most select guests. The dim lighting cast a warm glow over the polished mahogany counters, and the low soft music filled the room. I had dragged Winnie, my ever-lo

EVELYNEverything felt like it was spiraling out of control, and I couldn’t take it anymore. I turned, ready to flee the suffocating space of the bathroom, but his hand shot out and grabbed me. A sharp wave of disgust rippled through me, his touch making my skin crawl. My fists clenched at my sides, breaking his bones didn’t seem like such a bad idea right now.“Get your hands off me!” I snapped, twisting in his grip, but his arm wrapped tighter around my waist, pinning me in place. I struggled, yanking at his hand, but he wouldn’t let go.His breath brushed against my ear, sending an unwelcome shiver down my spine. “Do you know how much it healed me to know you recognized my perfume scent?” he murmured, his voice low and honeyed, almost seductive. But I stood my ground to to fall for it even though the alcohol was betraying me."Why weren't you at the construction site, Ms. Xavier?" he asked, his smirk curling into something devilish. The sound of that awful name made my stomach chur

EVELYN POV I stood outside her window, the cold night air brushing against my skin. My eyes softened as I watched her, curled up and fast asleep, like a porcelain doll. The moonlight danced across her peaceful face, and for a moment, I forgot to breathe. She was perfect, my future Luna. How I wished I could step inside, just to be closer. But I couldn’t. The door was locked, and Bea, the one person I trusted to help me, was nowhere to be found. Even she was asleep. I clenched my fists. "How could she ignore my calls?" I muttered under my breath, after everything I paid her to handle this, she knows I’d show up tonight. She knows how important this is to me.My gaze flickered back to her, guilt creeping into my chest. She looked so fragile, so innocent, and yet here I was, standing outside like a thief in the shadows. I let out a shaky breath. Of course, she’s tired, I whispered to myself, the words heavy with regret. After what I did at the bar…I ran a hand through my hair, the mem

JOHN POV The words hit me like a lightening struck. My grip on the phone tightened, my knuckles turning white. My mind raced, Evelyn’s face flashing before me again—her smile, her laugh, her everything. And also the twins... Most especially Harry because I spent some time with him but there isn't any resemblance between us or was it because I didn't care enough to check very well?My kids? My kids? The weight of it settled in my chest, pulling me under. I couldn’t breathe, placing my hands on my chest."Don't worry, I would still verify if this is true Alpha John, just leave it to me"My eyes widened as Andrew’s words playing in my mind. It felt like someone had punched the breath out of me. "Was it not the same lady you called barren? How the could they be your kids John?" Zae muttered in my mind as he hissed, though I don't know if he was angry or disappointed at me because he wasn't in support of all things Ill things I did to Evelyn.My chest tightened, my jaw slackened, and fo

Rejected And Betrayed: Chasing My Luna Back. 129. The smirk.
John still visits his son who is with the Pack witch, but he's too afraid to go see Harriet because Evelyn is probably at the villa.Four days have passed, and his routine hasn't changed, he goes from his company to his mansion, then to visit his son at the Pack witch’s place, and finally checks on his Pack’s activities.He couldn’t deny that he felt bored, even with Diane around. He had already started the process of divorcing her, but he was waiting for the right time to tell her, he didn’t want her to lose control and go after Evelyn again.“Happy now?” John’s voice was low, his knuckles white as he gripped the phone pressed to his ear.A smooth voice answered, “I’m not quite sure what you’re referring to, Mr. Xavier John.”John let out a dry scoff but said nothing. He didn’t need to. They both knew exactly what he was talking about.“Oh, and before I forget,” the voice added, “the Annual Meeting is in two days. Let’s be ready, for the best, or the worst.”The line went dead.John

Diane sat frozen, her heart pounding like a drum. Her hands trembled uncontrollably in the air. She didn’t know what to do, only that fear clung to her skin like sweat. A gunshot rang out as she squeezed her eyes shut.When she opened them again, her breath came in a sharp gasp, surprise that she was alive. She turned around, her gaze hard and burning.“Next time, I won’t miss,” Giovanni said coldly. “Evelyn doesn’t deserve to get hurt again and if she does...”Diane blinked. “Are you fucking kidding me?” she blurted out, stunned by his words.But then it hit her, he wasn’t just angry. He cared. He cared about Evelyn and that's the main reason he agreed to work with her on getting Eveyln and John separated.Without another word, Giovanni turned and walked away, leaving Diane speechless. When Diane got home, she stopped cold at the bedroom door. There was John, lying in their matrimonial bed as her eyes widened.Maybe Giovanni was right. Maybe this was her chance. If she played it car

DIANE POV“Huh? What… what do you mean?” I stammered, my voice shaky as I noticed the smirk forming on her lips.Someone suddenly grabbed my arm, making me jump. I turned and saw Aria. Her face was serious, and she gave a small shake of her head, a quiet warning in her eyes.“Don’t worry,” Evelyn said smoothly, sounding full of confidence. I looked back at her, and she met my eyes with a playful glint. “You’ll understand soon enough. Want to know why?” She paused, making the moment feel longer. “Let’s make the rumors true.”Evelyn put her hands on her hips, tilted her head, and smiled wider, daring me to say something.How could she say that?“Look, let’s go, okay?” she said firmly.I didn’t want to leave. I was about to say no, but before I could, she shook her head and held my arm tighter. Without waiting for my answer, she started pulling me forward. I hesitated, but my feet gave in and followed her. She led me out of the woods, her strong will pushing past my reluctance, while I w

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
