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
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
EVELYN POVGiovanni and I sat on the couch in the principal's office, on his table it was the little statue of moon goddess and a pile of files on top of each other on his table and on his shelf. The man had just come in from outside, still looking slightly disoriented. When he noticed Giovanni who was sitting down beside me, his eyes widened for a moment, but then he shrugged it off and took a seat across from us.The woman who had accused us was also there, sitting stiffly across from me. She shot me an angry look, her glare sharp enough to make me roll my eyes."We’ve received reports that your children have been causing a lot of trouble at this school..." The principal began,Before he could finish, the woman cut him off sharply. "Exactly! Her kids need to be expelled, or else this school will be stained with disgrace. It’ll be a shame if the school does nothing to protect the safety of the other students!"The middle-aged man who I assumed was the principal, smirked at her words.
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
JOHN“At first, he looked scared when he tried to push us,” he began, his voice steady but laced with bitterness. “I was the one who fought back before he fell to the ground.”“So, he was paid to do it?” I asked, leaning in.He nodded slowly, confirming my suspicion.Of course, someone had paid him. But who? Diane, right? She was the only one ruthless enough to pull something like this off. Her motive was clear—make Evelyn lose the project so it could be handed over to her brother, the same brother who had been desperately fighting for it before.Wait… Diane’s brother. Benjamin.Where the hell is that guy?I placed my hands firmly on the car, my thoughts racing, when Andrew cleared his throat, snapping me back to reality.“So, should we head to the construction site?” Andrew asked, glancing at me. I nodded. “Yes.” We climbed into the car and zoomed off. The ride was quiet, almost too quiet, as if the weight of the situation hung over both of us. When we arrived, I wasted no time a
JOHNThe doctor’s words had crushed me. I had gone in hoping for good news, expecting to hear that she was getting better. But instead, I was left struggling to process what he had just told me. By the time I got back to her room, I still didn’t know how to break the news. So, I waited and let the doctor do it himself.As soon as he spoke, her reaction was instant. She gasped, covering her mouth as tears streamed down her face. Harriet blinked rapidly, her own eyes filled with tears. She tried to speak but couldn’t get a word out. The silence was unbearable. My hands clenched into fists, anger burning inside me. I knew exactly who was responsible, Diane and her accomplices. And I had to act fast. I needed proof to expose her for what she had done.The doctor’s voice cut through the silence.“But don’t worry,” he said gently, giving a small, reassuring smile. “With time, she might regain her speech. She won’t be mute forever.”He glanced at us before adding, “She can go home today. And
EVEYLN"I have a good news," Winnie said, her voice trembling slightly. She hesitated, fidgeting with the hem of her jacket.I turned to her, raising an eyebrow. "More good news? Sounds great to me," I said with a small smile, trying to match her excitement.Her smile grew, but instead of replying, she slipped off her brown jacket. Turning her back to me, she let it drop to the floor, revealing something I never expected.My breath caught. My eyes widened, and I clapped a hand over my mouth as I jumped to my feet.There, on her shoulder blade, was a mark—one I recognized instantly.I stammered, my voice shaky. "Alpha Reuben?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper as she nodded enthusiastically. Her happiness was contagious, I couldn’t help but feel happy for her too. She was already his mate; their bond was sealed.I sank back into my chair, still trying to process everything, while she sat beside me. Her expression softened as she began to explain.“It all started when he saved m
EVEYLN"Slow down.... Evelyn," John called as he hurried after me."He's in the dungeon right now, with my warriors," he added, as he sighed.I skidded to a halt, spinning to face him. The weight of betrayal hit me like a punch, tightening my chest but it must have hurt John more than me. It must have shown on my face. John, of all people, should have known better, chino worked for him."How did this happen?" I demanded, my voice cracking. "Who was he working with? How could he do this... to a kid?"John flinched, his eyes darkened with guilt. "He confessed," he admitted quietly, looking down like the words were too heavy to meet my gaze. "It was Diane... and another woman he couldn’t name. But... there was also a man.""What?" My voice rose, disbelief flooding every syllable.Diane. Of course, she was behind this. But now there were two more, two people working with her? My hands clenched into fists, shaking with anger. How many did it take to try and ruin me? And for what?For nothi
EVEYLNThe alarm blared loudly, snapping me awake. I stretched and yawned, feeling a dull ache in my head, I must have stayed up too late. Sunlight streamed through the window, but something else caught my attention, a familiar scent.John.Where's that moron?I sat up quickly and rushed to the bathroom, but he wasn’t there. My room looked surprisingly neat, even though I remembered it being a mess last night. I had knocked over an ointment bottle and stumbled into John. But now, the bottle was gone. Instead, it was neatly placed in the first aid box.Did John clean up, or was it Bea?After freshening up, I walked into the parlour. The room was silent and empty—there was no one in sight. Curious, I made my way to Harry's room.I pushed the door open and found him sitting cross-legged on the bed, gripping a game controller. Beside him, John leaned against the headboard, laughing as the game played on the screen. A smile tugged at my lips, and a wave of relief washed over me. Harry was
EVEYLN"Ouch!" I flinched as the ointment stung my wounded face. His hand was steady but firm as he carefully guided the cotton wool, holding it between the silver blades of scissors."Sorry," he murmured, his voice soft, almost a whisper. "I'll be gentle." His touch lightened as he dabbed around the sore skin. For a moment, he paused, and our eyes met—his gaze on mine, searching. I held my breath. The room felt still, as if everything had stopped."He's asleep, ma'am," Bea's voice suddenly broke the silence, snapping me out of the moment.Startled, I turned to her, blinking away my daze. She stood in the doorway, glancing between us. Heat rushed to my cheeks as I quickly looked down, breaking the stare. "Make sure the AC isn’t too high. Just keep it at medium, that should help him cool off," John muttered. She nodded slightly before turning and leaving the room."He’s going to start hurting innocent people, Evelyn. Please, agree to take him to the Silvermoon Pack," John urged, his t
EVEYLN The moment Bea called to say Harry was back, I didn’t waste a second. My heart raced as I rushed out. I didn’t care about the details or his condition, my son was home, and that was all that mattered. But I couldn’t shake the confusion. How had this happened?Without thinking, I texted John, my hands shaking. Only after I sent it did I remember he had mentioned handling with something at home. I shouldn’t have bothered him. Regret settled in my chest.Chino wasn’t outside, but I knew he was already in the car, waiting to take me to the villa.When we arrived, panic hit me the moment I saw my car parked out front. John was here. My legs moved before my thoughts, and I rushed inside.The air in the parlor was heavy with tension. Then I saw him, my son. My breath caught, my eyes widening in surprise as I placed my hands on my mouth."Evelyn..." A voice broke the silence, pulling me back.I didn’t need to turn to know it was John. His hand settled firmly on my shoulder, grounding
EVEYLN"Your man and his ex-wife are getting cozy inside," Aria texted.I stared at the message and scoffed, acting like it didn’t bother me. But deep down, it did. No matter how much I tried to ignore it, the words stung.In the restroom, I turned on the faucet and rinsed my hands, scrubbing off the sticky chocolate as it almost makes me wanna throw up. It clung to my skin, just like the bitterness of that text. I grabbed a napkin and dried my hands quickly.My phone buzzed again, but I ignored it. Instead, I pressed the call button and held the phone to my ear."Heo Chino," I said, my voice low but firm. "Take the kid to the basement at Nacro Pack. Don’t worry, Aria will keep them distracted. Just make sure John doesn’t notice."I hung up without waiting for a reply and slipped the phone into my bag. My heels clicked against the floor as I left the restroom, each step matching the rhythm of my thoughts.Near the classroom door, I paused and glanced inside. Harriet sat at her desk, h
