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.

    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

  • Rejected And Betrayed: Chasing My Luna Back.   43. I knew it.

    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

  • Rejected And Betrayed: Chasing My Luna Back.   45. The findings.

    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.   47. The news.

    EVELYN POVI ended the call abruptly and tossed my phone onto the cluttered surface of my office desk. My heart pounded as I scanned the room, the muffled hum of voices from outside reminding me of the chaos waiting just beyond these walls. The reporters were everywhere, circling the building, desperate for answers. I had no choice but to stay hidden."How on earth did the media find out about this?" I muttered, crossing my arms tightly over my chest. My pacing filled the room with the soft echo of hurried footsteps from me.Simone, leaning casually against the doorframe, raised a skeptical eyebrow. "But you were there yesterday, weren’t you?" I stopped in my tracks, shaking my head firmly. "I wasn’t there. But..." My voice trailed off. "But what Evelyn? I don't want them to create a bad impression of you, you are supposed to make sure that security measures must be followed!" Simone pressed, his tone sharpening as he straightened up, watching me closely.And then it hit me. John ha

    EVELYNI froze, my heart racing as his words sank in. I swallowed down my saliva as a bitter scoff escaping his lips, and I couldn’t help but stare, confusion clouding my mind.“Could you… could you explain how that even happened?” I stammered, my voice barely above a whisper. The doctor sighed, rubbing the back of his neck like the memory was still pressing on him. “Alpha John almost destroyed my life,” he began, blinking his eyes as he continued . “He wouldn’t leave me alone. Kept hounding me, demanding to know where you were. Said I was the last person to see you.”Jeez... This is about John?I blinked, trying to process his words. “But how does that lead to you almost… losing your job?” I asked, my voice steadying just enough.“He threatened me,” the doctor admitted, his voice dropping. “Said he’d have my license revoked. He’d ruin me if I didn’t tell him what he wanted to know. It was relentless , that I was scared at a point that he might threaten me with my family. I couldn’t

    JOHN "And you're absolutely sure you didn’t talk to any worker while you were there?" Beta Andrew asked, his eyes narrowing as he leaned forward. I nodded. "Yeah, I’m sure," I muttered, my voice tight. He sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Man, this is so damn hectic," he said, shaking his head as he stared at me.A storm of anger churned inside me, so fierce it felt like it might tear me apart. How could this have happened? I was so close, so close to getting through to her, to bridging that distance between us. But then this had to happen. A memory slammed into me like a knife to the chest. Giovanni, his hand on her face, wiping away her tears—or whatever it was sliding down her cheek. The image burned in my mind. How dare he touch her? Who the hell is he to do that? And for how long has this been going on? I couldn’t sit still, everything that had happened today pressed down on me, suffocating me as I paced back and forth in the lobby, Beta Andrew sat on the couch, wa

    EVEYLN“Please… don’t worry about me,” she said softly, her voice barely above a whisper. “Thank you for saving me, but…”Her voice cracked. Then, as if the weight of everything she’d been holding in finally broke loose, she began to cry. This had an effect on me as I had to fight the sting in my own eyes.“My life… it’s only going to get worse from here,” she choked out.I looked at her, helpless.Goddess, what can I possibly do to ease this young girl's pain?I didn’t even know her story. But the sorrow in her eyes told me more than words ever could, she’d been through hell. She was beautiful, short golden hair and eyes wide and soft like a doe’s. I didn’t want to bother her with questions. She’d been through enough and she needs rest. So, I let it go for now.“We’ll come back tomorrow, to check up on you,” I whispered to myself as we quietly left.A few hours later, I still couldn’t sleep.We had returned to the mansion, where everything was quiet. Even the troublemaker was asleep

    JOHN“Let’s leave,” I urged her, reaching for her arm.But she pulled away, shaking her head hard. Her finger shot toward a crowded spot in the distance, eyes wide with urgency.“We have to save that girl first, John,” she said, voice trembling.I turned to Solomon. He caught my look and gave a quick nod as he’d heard Evelyn too, and he understood.A rough voice barked behind me. “You twat! Do you even know what you’ve done?”Three men stood there, rage burning in their eyes. One of them clutched his hand, blood dripping between his fingers. I glanced down at my claws, one of his fingers lay at my feet. “Fuuuck! What are you?” the man screamed, his voice breaking from pain and fear.My claws was sharper than any freshly-forged blade, than any normal Alpha wolf because of the special features I was brought up with. One hard strike was all it took to kill.The air was filled with an overwhelming mix of blood, sweat, moans, sperm and too many creatures. Vampires. Hybrids. Strong wolves.

    "She's still not answering, and she's not in the club either," Solomon said, letting out a sigh.John’s chest was beating. A strange feeling crawled over him, like something wasn’t right with Eveyln. He couldn’t shake the urge to go find her. "She probably took a taxi home," Solo added, scanning the area.John's eyes swept the street, and then he froze. There it was, the car he dreaded to see. Giovanni’s.His heart skipped a beat."Maybe... she’s with Giovanni," he muttered under his breath."But we've checked everywhere. They're not inside," Solomon said, glancing around with uncertainty in his eyes.That was when a chilling thought gripped John, a terrifying 'what if' that twisted in his gut as he remembered how Elena and Giovanni drugged her so that he would take advantage of her. Without a word, he pushed into the club, his pace quickening as he stormed down the hall lined with private rooms.He started throwing doors open one after another."Boss, you got to slow down, we might

  • Rejected And Betrayed: Chasing My Luna Back.   136. WARNING!!!

    WARNING: SOME CONTENT MIGHT BE TOO DARK. The girls exchanged a glance, hesitant, their eyes flicking back to the card in her hand. “We can’t,” one of the girls said quickly, shaking her head. “The bartender is the one who’s supposed to direct you.” With a mysterious smile, she dipped her head and slipped out of the restroom, leaving Evelyn standing there with more questions than answers. Evelyn exhaled shakily and made her way to the bar. She placed the card carefully on the counter, its glossy surface catching the dim light. The bartender’s eyes widened the moment he saw it. He snatched it up, glancing left and right as if to make sure no one else had seen. Not a single word passed between them. Evelyn stayed silent, her pulse thudding in her ears. Without explanation, the man disappeared into the kitchen. Moments later, a female bartender took his place, wiping the counter as if nothing had happened. Evelyn blinked, confused. “Where’s the other bartender?” The woma

    UNIQUE CLUBHOUSEGiovanni lounged on the couch, a glass of expensive wine cradled in his hand. In front of him, two naked bodies having sex as the lady's legs were widely spread apart, moaning out loud, but he barely wasn't even enjoying the show displayed at his front. His grip tightened on the glass, knuckles pale, eyes shut tight. Evelyn’s voice echoed in his mind. Her words from earlier clung to him like smoke.“You seem stressed, Alpha,” came a sultry voice.A woman stepped into view, wearing only a lacy bra and panties that did not cover much of her ass and boobs. She sank onto his lap, her skin warm against his.“I’ve missed you, you know,” she murmured, tracing a slow finger along the bridge of his nose. Her lips formed a pout as she leaned in closer.Giovanni caught her hand mid-motion with his eyes opened. “Is that why you came to my pack? To become a maid?” Giovanni asked, his voice low, almost disbelieving.She nodded with a small, teasing smile. “Of course. It’s been age

    EVEYLN"I..." he stammered, still looking angry. "I'm sorry.""I get why you acted like that, but you went too far."I stood up as I sighed. There was nothing more to say. Nothing I could do to undo the decision and if I could, I wouldn’t think twice.I walked to the car, each step slower than the last. Reaching it, I stopped, resting my hands on the cool metal. A sigh escaped me. I opened the door, ready to slide in, when someone caught my eye.“Wait... is that Mimi?” I shut the car door and started walking in her direction. She was speaking to someone, but my eyes were locked on her alone. My pace quickened—I had to catch up. What was Mimi doing near the palace? More importantly, what was she doing in this Pack at all?"Where are you heading to, ma'am?" I didn’t respond. No point. He would follow me anyway, no matter what I said. Let him.Just then, Mimi turned and began to walk away. A small house stood between us. I picked up my pace, weaving around it quickly, determined not to

    EVEYLN.“The Pack witch just told me everything, Evelyn. It’s best if you stay here,” I shook my head, tightening my jaw. “And since when do you get to make decisions for me, John?”He sighed, running a hand through his hair. “I’m just doing what needs to be done. This is probably where you belong now. I haven’t even taken your things from the Nightshade Pack yet…”“Don’t even start,” I cut in, my arms folding tightly across my chest. “You think it’ll be easy explaining to them why I’m suddenly moving to the Silvermoon Pack? Everything’s happening so fast.”My eyes followed the strangers as they carried box after box into the mansion.I caught John’s gaze as he looked me over from head to toe, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.“My shirt suits you,” he said, cocky as ever.I rolled my eyes. “What are you going to say to her?”“She’ll have to accept it,” he replied casually before disappearing into the mansion.I let out a long sigh. This whole thing felt like a bad idea, even

    EVEYLNI tucked the pictures away as he left. Then I slipped into his shirt, I didn't pick Giovanni's call but I will talk to him later, atleast I just meet him before today ends. I walked out of the room with the phone still in my hand.Downstairs, the dining table was already set but no one else had arrived yet. I didn’t bother waiting. Lifting the cover off one of the dishes, I grabbed a spoon and started eating the pankcakes.“This is just so annoying,” a voice snapped from behind.I looked up. Diane was walking into the dining room. Her eyes widened as soon as she saw me and then she let out a loud hiss.“So you can’t wait for everyone else before digging in, huh?” she said, crossing her arms.I paused mid-bite, lowering my spoon.“Sorry,” I mumbled. “I was just really hungry.” She just wants to pick a fight.Diane dropped into the chair across from me, yanking the cover off her plate aggressively. Her cold eyes darted toward me before she stabbed at her food and started eating

    EVEYLN."Thank the goddess the wound isn't too bad. I think you should rest here for the night," Vera said softly, tucking the blanket around me as I rested on the guest bed.John had patched me up earlier, not that it was anything serious. Honestly, I played it up a bit just to stir some drama.Diane wasn’t around. She was probably in their bedroom, waiting to unleash her usual storm on John. That paranoid brat."Are you hungry?" John asked.I nodded silently. He pulled the blanket up to my shoulders. Vera knelt beside the bed, dabbing at the dried blood and the dirt on my skin with a napkin. She didn’t say anything, but I was sure John had told her to help."I’ll be right back," he said, heading toward the door.As he left, I glanced at Vera. She let out a quiet sigh, her eyes studying me carefully."Do you have any idea who did this to you?" she asked.I shook my head. Truth was, I didn’t care. Whoever did this had done me a favor, made it easy to slip into the mansion without attr
