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
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. A small smile tugged at my lips as I answered."Hey, babe! Where are you?" she asked curiously. "Be
EVELYN POVEven after all this time, coming back to this pack still stirs something deep inside me, a connection I wish I didn’t have. It feels like the ground remembers me. Leaving wasn’t easy. 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. The place felt untouched, like no on
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. "I’ll bring a sign language tutor here so she can start practicing for now."Harriet had
