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 piece of advice for you, Evelyn,” she sneered, her voice dripping with disdain. “Just sign the divorce papers and stop living in this fantasy that you’ll win Alpha John back. You think giving me your precious kidney will change anything? Someone, please, wake this delusional lady up!”

She continued to laugh cruelly like the maniac she was.

She plopped down on her bed again, arms crossed, giving me a mocking stare that pierced through me.

I could see the pity in her eyes, the way she shook her head as if I were a lost cause.

"I’m going to tell Alpha John everything! I’ll scream loud and clear that you pretended to have kidney failure, and he’ll leave you for good and come back to me!" I spat.

She let out another mocking laugh, eyes sparkling with cruelty. "My goodness, you really don’t know when to quit, do you?" Slowly, she walked to my bed, her presence looming like a dark cloud.

"Well, for your information," she said, her voice dripping with disdain, "John and I have already planned to toss your weak ass aside after the kidney transplant. And if you think I’m lying, I have proof right here on my phone." She pulled her phone from a purse beside her, the screen glowing as she waved it in front of me.

"I won't believe you! You're just trying to manipulate him, and he doesn’t see it!" I shook my head frantically, grasping at straws. She had to be lying.

With a smirk, she tossed the phone at me. The device landed with a thud, and I hesitated before pressing play.

My eyes widened in disbelief as the video unfolded before me. My belongings were strewn carelessly outside the pack house, my blue luggage and every other thing I owned waiting for me after the transplant.

A knot tightened in my throat, and I took a shaky breath, trying to hold back the tears that threatened to spill.

But they came anyway, hot and relentless, streaming down my cheeks. "After everything..." I whispered.

“Awwwwnnn, you poor thing. You just got the worst betrayal of your life,” Diane mocked, her voice dripping with mock sympathy.

She nonchalantly gathered her hair into a messy bun then snatched the divorce papers from the table and flung them onto my bed, the pen landing beside them.

“Now sign this shit and end things with him. He’s mine now. After all, you’re going to die after this surgery,” she sneered, rolling her eyes as I fought to wipe away my tears.

It was over.

It felt like the world was closing in around me, like an inescapable fog.

My hands trembled as I reached for the pen and drew my shaky signature beneath my name, sealing my fate.

"And that's a good girl," Diane cooed, her voice dripping with mockery as she tapped my shoulder. The smile on her face was anything but genuine as she sauntered back to place the divorce papers where Alpha John kept them.

"I'll be right back before the surgery commences," she added with a casual tone, as if she were discussing mundane plans, not the removal of my kidney.

What was her plan? Would she still go through with the surgery since her kidneys were still fine? Or was she scheming to have them removed just to sell them?

The thought sent a chill down my spine. My gut churned with suspicion. Was she in cahoots with the hospital?

Something felt deeply wrong, and every instinct screamed that I needed to run away before it was too late.

What do I do now? How do I escape this? I can't let my kidney get taken away from me like this. I looked at both of my hands but they were tied in one way or the other.

“Uhm, Ms. Evelyn.”

The voice yanked me from my swirling thoughts. I turned sharply and saw the doctor stepping into the ward, his brow furrowed as he scanned the paper in his hands.

“Don’t you know it’s dangerous to proceed with a kidney transplant considering the child you’re carrying, Ms. Evelyn?”

In an instant, my anger faded, replaced by disbelief and confusion.

Did he just say ‘child?’

What child?

What did he mean by that?

Was I not barren?

My breath caught in my throat, and I felt warmth rushing through me.

I clutched my stomach. "What do you mean by that doctor?" I asked in curiosity, my eyes widened like saucers.

The doctor looked up, concern etched on his face. "You’re a month pregnant, Ms. Evelyn. Performing the surgery now could be incredibly risky for both you and the baby. We need to address this."

I was truly pregnant?

I couldn’t believe it. My hands went to my stomach, feeling the warmth.

Was it the reason I constantly felt nauseous and dizzy? It was huge news to me. It brought a smile to my face, the first I had since four days.

But that smile disappeared immediately. If I was pregnant, how could I push through with this surgery?

Wouldn’t it be dangerous for the innocent baby?

Fear gripped me at the thought of an innocent life suffering because of my ex-husband and his fiance’s wickedness.

"I can’t go through with this," I whispered under my breath, my voice shaking.

The doctor continued. “We should tell Alpha John so he can do something about this; it seems like he doesn’t know about—”

“No! No! No!” I begged and clamped my hands together. I shook my head frantically.

“Please don’t tell him about this child! Let it be our secret, just between us, please! I beg of you!” I pleaded, my voice breaking as tears rolled down my cheeks. I sniffed and wiped them away hastily while he gazed at me with confusion.

I couldn’t let Alpha John find out about this baby. Not when his soon-to-be Luna was already pregnant.

I imagined John’s reaction if he heard about this. Would he care?

If he saw me as just a vessel, would he now care about the life growing inside that vessel?

He would see my child as a burden and force me to abort the baby.

“But if he isn’t informed, there’s a high risk of you losing your child during the transplant, Ms. Evelyn,” he said, a deep sigh escaping his lips as he crossed his arms.

Desperately, I looked him in the eye and an idea suddenly came to me. I reached out and grabbed the edge of his coat, my fingers shaking. “Please, do something for me, doctor.”

    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.

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.

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

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

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.

    ALPHA JOHN XAVIER’S POV:“Alpha, are you listening?” Andrew’s voice cut through my foggy thoughts, snapping me out of them.I jolted upright, feeling the heavy weight of tiredness on my shoulders. I rubbed my face and brushed the stubble on my jaw. These past five years, I haven’t felt like myself. Each day was a struggle against a deep fatigue that made it hard to concentrate. “What festival are you talking about?” I replied, my voice raspy as I straightened in my chair. Andrew stood in front of me, his brow furrowed with concern with an invitation letter clutched tightly in his hands. As I leaned forward, sunlight streamed through the window, lighting up the edges of the card. I took it from him, our fingers brushing.Reading the words, shock and disbelief filled me. The Nightshade Pack—one of the oldest and most powerful packs to exist—was celebrating their three-hundredth anniversary, and Silver Moon had been invited. “What do you think, Alpha? Should we go?” he asked enthusi

I’m back in New York.I blinked against the bright afternoon sun as the towering buildings cast long shadows. Memories flooded my mind. Most of them were dark and haunting. I tried to reach for good memories, but there were none. All the time I spent in this city, I never truly had a moment of peace. I mean, compared to what I enjoyed now, what I used to call ‘peaceful’ now seemed like hellhole to me.What if I hadn’t taken that bold decision to free myself? I often wondered. The way my life turned around based on one decision still felt surreal. The image of that day where I was filled with pain and betrayal, loomed larger than life.

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.

    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

    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

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

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.
