EVELYN POV
Wait, 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 let you take my kidney! I won't!” I begged as they shoved me toward the back of the car. Panic rose in my throat, and everything felt like it was spinning. “What’s happening back there? We don’t have much time left!” Alpha John shouted from the front seat and I could see how much he cared for Diane while disregarding how I felt. I don’t even think he saw me as human. “Alpha stop this! I’m not just a spare part you can give away!” My pleas echoed, but John’s back was turned, focused on the road. Have I been living with a monster for two years? The answer was quite obvious. The guards tightened their grip, their fingers digging painfully into my wrists. I felt waves of pain and my vision started to blur as dizziness hit me. The car sped like a blur, and it felt like I was being pulled into chaos. Every bump in the road jolted me, making me feel even more helpless. I was being dragged into a situation I didn’t choose. As soon as we skidded to a stop at the hospital, the guards pulled me from the car like I was a useless rag doll. They shoved me sideways, holding on tightly as they rushed me through the entrance, ignoring my struggle to keep up. I was not wearing any shoes now, my face was an eyesore, my clothes were dirty and I knew I stank badly. I felt exposed and dizzy, my throat parched and craving even a drop of water. Would they at least let me put on some shoes before dragging me deeper into this nightmare? “Let me go!” I screamed, my voice echoing in the space, desperation pushing me to speak out. I didn’t care about the consequences anymore; I just needed to be heard. But I was brutally ignored. Everyone gave way for us and bowed for Alpha John as we passed without listening to me. They opened a door and the guards pushed me into the room. A female nurse in white scrubs stood by a bed, her eyes widening in urgency when she saw us. She rushed forward with open arms, urging us inside. “Take her to the bed and tie her up!” Alpha John shouted from the doorway. Before I could protest, the guards grabbed my arms, their grips like iron shackles, and pushed me toward the bed. My heart pounded with confusion and fear. I stumbled, my legs weak, but they didn’t let go. They forced me onto the bed while I struggled to escape. “Wait! You don’t have to do this! My life would be at risk here” I cried out but my protests echoed in the empty room, swallowed by the silence. Without a word, they grabbed a rope and started tying one of my wrists to the bed. The fabric dug into my skin, and I winced, tears welling in my eyes. “John, please,” I begged, my voice breaking as I struggled against the rope. I locked gaze with him, searching for any sign of compassion in his hard expression. But he stayed unmoved, his jaw clenched and his eyes darkened. The door behind him felt like a barrier I couldn’t cross. “Is she out of her mind? Why is she acting like this?” I heard the nurse whisper sharply, her voice sounding like an irritated sneer. I couldn’t care less about what she thought of me. I struggled against the rope holding me to the bed. Meanwhile, Alpha John and his guards were about to leave. Gathering all my courage, I took a deep breath, my lungs aching, and found the strength to say, “Wait! Alpha John, please—just look into my eyes and explain what's happening!" He paused, turned to gaze at me with a disgusted frown, then signaled for his bodyguard and the nurse to leave. The nurse shot me an awkward glance, as if she thought I was truly losing it. "What do you want me to explain? Make it quick; Diane is waiting for me..." His tone was cold and dismissive. "Diane, Diane, Diane!!!" I trembled with rage, my eyelids fluttering, threatening to close up. I had to shake the unconscious off. I pressed my forehead against the cold metal frame of the bed, desperate to stay focused. I needed to see his face clearly—needed to find even a hint of emotion buried beneath his hard exterior. “That's all I ever hear! But I'm your Luna—how could you do this to me? What have I done to deserve this punishment from you, Alpha John? Please, tell me where I went wrong and I will correct it okay?!” I cried as tears streamed down my cheeks. "You wanna know? When I found out that you are as barren as hell," he spat, his words slicing through the air like a knife. My eyes widened in shock, disbelief flooding through me. What was he talking about? Barren? What…. I felt my heart drop as low as it could get as he stepped closer, his hands shoved deep into his pockets. "You heard me?" he continued with a cold voice. "No matter how many times you spread your legs for me, it was all a waste. The only reason I kept you around for this long was to bear my child. But you can’t even do that." I had never imagined he viewed me this way. "You're so selfish, Evelyn. Just one hit with Diane, and she’s pregnant." Tears blurred my vision and my jaw quivered. My breathing was heavy and strained. When I finally found my voice, I looked up to him again. "You still cheated, John! How dare you twist this around and defend yourself like that! I never imagined you could think of me this way. It’s not my fault I couldn’t give you a child!" I hastily wiped my tears with my free hand, feeling the cold metal of the chains binding me. "That wretched Diane…” *SLAP* In an instant, he struck me across my right cheek, leaving my body frozen in shock. I instinctively placed my hands where he had hit me, my face turning away but he gripped my jaw with a force that made me wince in pain to look at me. His piercing gaze locked onto mine, and I trembled uncontrollably. "Alpha..." "As long as I give you a reason to live, you dare not insult my Diane again! How dare you?" With that, he flung my face toward the bed, my face hitting the white sheets. "You’re worthless, Evelyn. Tell me, in this world, what real man would stay with a barren woman?!" With trembling hands, I wiped away the tears streaming down my face. I couldn’t even get on my knees to plead, my body weak from days without food. "It's all your fault and you would have to face the consequences! Ensure you stay right here and wait for the doctors to take over!" His voice thundered as he turned to leave. I was frozen, unable to scream his name, watching him walk away, a hollow ache swelling in my chest. A few seconds later, the door swung open and the female nurse rushed in with a trolley in tow, and a male doctor right behind her. She placed her hands on my forehead but removed it immediately. "Oh my goddess! You're burning up, and your face is ghostly pale! Have you eaten anything at all?" The doctor brought out the stethoscope, draping it around his neck before pressing the chest piece against my skin. He shook his head. "Her heartbeat is normal.” What?! The word screamed in my mind as a wave of disbelief washed over me. A few nurses hurried in as they forcefully positioned me properly on the bed. I drew in a sharp breath as I could feel my heart beating loudly within me. How is it not possible for him to detect that? "Her body still seems strong enough for the operation, which is rare for an omega" He paused and continued. "And also she'll be needing a full check-up after the first stage because I’m sensing something isn’t right. If Alpha John finds out we’re not finished with the first stage, he’ll kill us, so let's begin"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
EVELYN POV“Life is cruel, Evelyn. We live today and die tomorrow—that's just the meaning of it all…” Her voice dripped with disdain, each word slicing through the tension in the air.“Are you really having kidney problems? Answer me, you bitch!” I demanded, my voice sharp and fierce, a fire igniting within me. At that, she erupted into a harsh, mocking laughter that echoed in the room. She spun around, her smile wide and taunting, so that I could see her well. She was perfectly fine and healthy."Of course not, you idiot! Can't you see the game I’m playing here or are you just dumb?!" My breath caught in my throat. Oh, Moon Goddess!"So you’re faking it?" My heart pounded wildly against my ribcage. I shook my head in disbelief, trying to sit up, but my body felt heavy and unresponsive, sharp pains radiating through me with each movement. I couldn't believe this. She was just lying about having a failing kidney??? So I was about to lose one of my kidneys for nothing? “I have a pi
ALPHA JOHN XAVIER."Don't worry," Nurse Aria assured calmly. "Once the kidney transplant is done, it will ease the pain she is feeling."We stood outside the ward Diane was in. I nodded, but I still felt anxious as I watched Diane writhe in pain on the bed. I stepped inside and sat beside her. Each shallow breath she took reminded me how close I was to losing her. After the blood transfusion, her health progressed a little, but she was still in pain. At least she could sit in a wheelchair now, even if she couldn’t walk. Seeing her like this made me want to protect her with my life.I couldn't wait to crown her as my Luna. We were childhood sweethearts and I held her dear to my heart. We had to break up since she was leaving the Pack to further her education. It broke me completely.Since she returned, she brought a peace to my heart that I didn’t know I was missing. Her presence calmed the chaos in my life. I knew Evelyn was trying hard to win my heart. I saw her efforts in cooking
EVELYN "Anything that happens next should be between us, please! I’m begging you with my life! Just pretend nothing happened and you didn't notice anything!" I implored, gazing into the doctor’s eyes.He stared at me, confused, tilting his head as he tried to understand my plea. Slowly, he nodded, looking down as if he was processing what I said.It seemed he didn’t know what was going on. He was not in on their games and was just following John’s orders."But the operation..." he started in hesitation."That will never hold!" I blurted out loud but panicked and darted my eyes left and right, scanning the room for any sign that they were around. After that, I begged him not to tell anyone about the pregnancy because right now, the only thing on my mind was to escape. I'm leaving. I'm finally making the choice I’ve been dreading, the one I never wanted to make in my life with Alpha John. I have endured enough torment.I wiped my tears away as I saw the doctor leave the room and clos
JOHN XAVIER POVThere’s no way she signed the divorce papers. How is that even possible? That’s unlike her. The Evelyn I knew would do anything to keep me by her side!The thought made me both angry and confused.In front of me were three of my warriors, looking serious and focused. Another three stood behind us, all under the watchful gaze of Beta Andrew, who stayed right by my side. We moved quickly into the woods, searching for her.“Spread out!” I shouted, my voice breaking the quiet of the trees. The warriors immediately scattered into the different directions to find her. Andrew, however, remained by my side, loyal as ever.I took a deep breath and could perceive her scent. The air was filled with her scent which was sweet but mixed with fear. I followed the trail, my instincts sharp and senses heightened. The darkness of the woods didn’t hinder me; I navigated the underbrush easily, careful not to trip over the roots and branches reaching out like skeletal hands.The cold ai
EVELYN’S POV: My legs hurt badly and throbbed, making it hard for me move. As I forced myself to stir, I could see darkness around me. Fear filled me. "Did Alpha John find me?" The thought made my stomach churn. I tried to sit up, but my limbs felt like lead. “Where am I?” I struggled to think when I noticed a strange scent brush my senses. It was calming, like a breath of fresh air. It was the same one I had perceived just before I passed out. As I pushed myself up, I realized I was lying on a bed, soft and comfortable compared to the rough ground of the woods I had fainted on. The cool fabric felt nice against my skin. I pressed my fingers into the plush mattress to confirm I wasn’t dreaming. “What happened?” I whispered. I quickly looked around the room I was in. Sunlight poured through a large window, filling the space with warm light. I heard rustling sounds from outside, mixed with a rooster crowing. This meant that it was already the next morning. “Moo
EVELYN’S POV:FIVE YEARS LATER“Mommy! Mommy!”The joyful shouts of my two little kids echoed in the expansive parking lot of the elementary school.I turned to see them running happily toward me, their melodious laughter bringing a warm smile to my face. Harriet and Harry, with their bright smiles and sparkling eyes, raced forward, their little feet thumping on the pavement. When they got to me, they wrapped their tiny arms around my legs.“How was school today, my little scholars?” I asked, crouching down to their height and resting my hands gently on their shoulders. “Great!” Harriet exclaimed, her brunette pigtails bouncing. She held up a crumpled drawing of a T-Rex, the bright colors spilling over the edges of the paper.I gave her a thumbs up and she giggled, her chubby cheeks bunching up. I took their little hands in mine and we walked side by side.As we left the busy school grounds, the sounds of children playing faded behind us. I felt the warm afternoon sun on my back as
As I walked into the living room, she opened her mouth to say the name of the visitor but hesitated. Just then, my phone buzzed in my pocket. I quickly took it out and answered. “Ma’am, there’s an emergency! You need to rush down to the company right away. The project file you used for the defense is missing!” Mimi, my personal assistant, said in a frantic voice. My heart sank. Without thinking, I rushed down the hallway, snatched the car keys from the driver’s hand, flung open the door of the driver’s seat and jumped in. As I backed out of the gate, I saw my driver running after me, trying to catch up and take over. But I didn’t have the time for that. What did she mean by the project defense file was missing???? There was no way the project I had poured my heart and soul in, spent sleepless nights and dealt with endless headaches for, just disappear! Moon Goddess, please let this not be true. I silently begged as I hit the gas. I sped down the road as I weaved through t
JOHN"Where are we going?" Solomon asked, his voice edged with curiosity as I paused by the car door and let out a slow sigh.I pulled open the back door and slid in without a word. A second later, he got into the driver’s seat, the engine rumbling to life as we pulled away from the curb."Turn left," I said quietly.Solomon shot me a glance in the rearview mirror, one brow raised, but he followed the direction without question. When I didn’t say anything else, he eased the car to a stop, waiting.He looked back again. "The hospital?" he asked.I didn’t answer. Instead, I pushed the door open and stepped out. I started walking, glancing over my shoulder to make sure Solomon was behind me. He was, but the confusion still clouded his face."Boss, has Diane recovered?" he asked hesitantly."Stop asking questions," I muttered.We reached Diane's room, and I turned to face him. His head was bowed, like he already knew what was coming."What's going on?" I asked, though my eyes said more t
EVELYN I stayed hidden in at the side of the female restroom, holding my breath as he walked away. His eyes scanned the hallway left, then right but he never saw me. My heart pounded as I replayed the conversation I’d overheard. So that’s why he’s been so restless. The weight of the secret pressed down on me. It wasn’t just his burden, it was Mimi’s life at stake as I clenched my fists. Should I confront him? Or stay quiet?I had wanted to stay at the hospital until Mimi woke up, but John placed a hand on my shoulder.“She’ll be fine,” he said, his voice calm. “We’ll all come back when she wakes up. Harn will stay with her in the meantime.”The car ride back to the Pack was quiet. No one spoke a word until we arrived. As we stepped out, Andrew rushed toward us, his face pale.“B-Boss,” he stammered, breathless. “Giovanni is here to see you.”My eyes widened as I turned to John. He raised his eyebrows, calm as ever, while I shifted my gaze to Andrew.“Where is he?” I asked.Andrew til
EVEYLNI stood stiffly, arms crossed tight over my chest, unable to bring myself to sit beside John on the bench. My eyes stayed fixed on the clinic door, silently begging it to open.Solomon paced nearby, his shoes tapping nervously against the floor. His chest rose and fell in shallow breaths, like he was holding something back. I’d never seen his face so tense, his brows knotted with a worry that seemed deeper than mine like he knew her in a way I didn’t.The door finally creaked open."She survived it," Harn said, stepping out with a grin stretching across his face."Just thank the goddess she was brought in early," Harn said. "It looks like she was rushed here right after she slit her wrist."I let out a long, shaky sigh. The weight of everything finally hit me.Solomon stepped forward, facing Harn with urgency in his eyes. "Please... can we see her?" he asked, voice barely above a whisper.I glanced at John. He only smirked, shook his head slightly, then got to his feet without
JOHN"Can I ask you something, Andrew?" I said, my voice low.He sat frozen, head bowed, shoulders trembling like he'd been caught in a storm. Drops of sweat trickled down his forehead."Is it true you've been sleeping with Diane?"His head snapped up. His eyes widened, lips parted, like the truth had sucker-punched him. Guilt danced in his expression as he hadn’t expected me to know, not about this. Not something that happened right under my roof.I'd overheard them last night, Diane hissing accusations at him, angry that he'd pulled away after she gave herself to him multiple times. The words were sharp, too sharp to ignore. My chest has felt tight since then. I couldn’t believe it. Andrew, my beta, my closest ally doing that to me?I exhaled slowly, placing my hands on the table to calm myself down.""I'm... sorry... I'm sorry, Alpha. Please, forgive me..." he choked out, collapsing to his knees.His hands trembled as they clutched the floor, his voice cracking under the weight of
EVEYLN“So, you’re telling me that…” Simone’s voice trailed off as we sat down in the lobby of the company.“Yes,” I said, settling into the chair beside him. “And don’t worry, I’m still going to keep working here.”Simone scoffed lightly, though there was a little of sadness in his eyes. “Of course you will. You think I’d just let you walk away from this place?”I gave him a faint smile. “As long as it’s for your kids and Giovanni doesn’t see a problem with it, then I’ll approve,” he added.I let out a quiet sigh. “I’ve noticed something, Simone.”He glanced over, curious. “What?”“Why don’t you come visit me at Silvermoon Pack?”He lifted his coffee cup, eyes avoiding mine. “Personal reasons,” he muttered before taking a sip.“I knew it,” I said, crossing my arms. “There’s no way you’d stay away this long unless something was wrong. The kids miss you, in case you didn’t realize.”Simone let out a soft chuckle. “I’m really glad Harry’s better. That little guy went through more than m
EVEYLNI was in the kitchen, making sandwiches, just enough for John, Vera, and me. Once I finished, I set them out on the table and took a seat with mine.Halfway through my sandwich, John walked in and sat across from me. I put my spoon down and looked at him.“Hey,” I said, nodding toward the phone on the counter. “Call Bea and tell Harry you’re busy.”John frowned and shook his head. “I don’t lie like you do,” he said flatly.I sneered but didn’t bother replying. He picked up his sandwich and took a bite, keeping his eyes on me.“You made these, didn’t you?” he asked, chewing.I rolled my eyes. “Whatever.”I was nearly done with mine, so I grabbed a glass of warm milk and drank it in one go. The glass hit the table with a loud thud. "“I didn’t eat last night because of you,” I said, crossing my arms.“And that’s my fault?” John pointed at himself, eyes wide.I nodded. “I was expecting you to bring the food to my room. What? Were you scared of your wife?”He let out a dry laugh. “
EVELYN What kind of meeting had that been? And why was everyone so fixated on John?I was just about to slide into the back seat when Solomon opened the door for me. Before I could get in, Darwin stepped forward, his hand catching the edge of the door.Solomon tensed, ready to shove him back, but I gave a quick shake of my head to stop him.Darwin flashed a smug grin.“What do you want?” I asked, crossing my arms and staring him down.He clutched his chest dramatically, like he was in pain. “That girl, ma’am. You’ve no idea how much it hurts not seeing her for nearly five days now.”My fingers twitched with the urge to slap him, but I settled for pressing a finger against his chest hard like that would change anything not knowing it would make him even more creepy.“It’s her life,” I said coldly. “And this is where you back off.”His smirk didn’t fade. “Or what?”I let out a sharp scoff. “She’s a child, Darwin. Don’t you have any shame?”Even as I spoke, I couldn’t figure out why I w
Giovanni’s voice rang out as he stood. Romain slowly turned his head toward him, confusion spread across his face.He stared at Giovanni like he couldn’t believe what he was hearing because why would Giovanni, of all people, be siding with John? After all, he had been the one to approach Romain with the very idea.Giovanni simply offered him a small smile.“Do you have a reason for your objection?” Romain asked, voice laced with suspicion.Giovanni nodded once, composed.John stared at him from across the room, brow furrowed. There was no trust in his expression, only confusion. The two of them were enemies. Why defend him now?“I understand the concern,” Giovanni began smoothly, addressing the council. “No one here wants to see the name of the New York City Council dragged through the mud. But removing an Alpha and stripping him of his voice and position, based on nothing but rumors? That’s not justice. That’s recklessness.”He let the words settle before continuing.“If we accuse hi
Gasps and murmurs rippled through the room at Alpha Romain’s announcement. No one had expected such a thing would be the first that he would say.Evelyn turned to John, eyes wide. He met her gaze.Of course, the first name that came to his mind was Giovanni.John had recently learned they’d been spending time together, Giovanni and Romain. It didn’t take much to guess what might have happened behind closed doors. Giovanni had influence, and Romain? Romain had a reputation for corruption. Bribe him, flatter him, and the man would hand over the moon if asked.“John…” Evelyn said softly, as her voice laced with concern.He sighed, and smiled at her like he was okay with it.“Not only because of the madness he just displayed tonight,” Alpha Romain continued, his tone dripping with disdain, “but there are rumors circulating which claim that he’s corrupt. That his Pack has grown weak.”A quiet stir passed through the hall, Evelyn scoffed under her breath, unable to hold it back.Coming fro
