Her words sent a chill through me, but I kept my face neutral, not wanting to worry her more. Inside, though, my heart was racing.But I can't help but wonder, why didn’t Bea say anything to me? Was she planning to tell me later, or... did she not notice it because she was shifting then? My chest tightens as I wrestle with these thoughts. Gosh, this is driving me crazy. My eyes flick over to John, who’s sitting across from me. I notice him tilting his head slightly, his brow furrowed in that way he does when he’s deep in thought. It’s like I can almost see the gears turning in his mind, each click making me more anxious. He breaks the silence with a calm voice "That’s called imbalance shifting." I blink, trying to process his words, but before I can respond, Harriet adds, "Mummy said the same thing. She also said he’s a special wolf." I notice John's eyes widen. My own hand trembles slightly as I reach for the spoon, bringing it up to my mouth. But as I lift it, I realize i
EVELYNI scoffed. If it wasn’t Giovanni, then… who? I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the red skirt and suit I had put on. The sharp lines of the outfit hugged me perfectly, making me look confident. I pulled my hair back into a neat ponytail, with the strands falling neatly into place, and finished with a bold layer of red lipstick. My jewelry—earrings, bracelets, and a necklace shone softly under the light. Polished. Composed. Exactly how I needed to look."Have you forgotten that you were injured last night? You must’ve gotten the scents mixed up," I said to Vivi as I grabbed my black bag from the table."I guess so," she murmured in my mind.I brushing off the nagging thought as I stepped out of my room. My heels clicked against the floor as I walked swiftly down the hallway, but my mind drifted to Harry. Without thinking, my pace quickened. When I reached his door, I turned the knob and pushed it open without hesitation. There he was, already awake, sitting comfortably
EVELYNMy heart stuttered, my breath hitching as an icy grip tightened around my chest. My fists clenched at my sides, nails biting into my palms as I dragged in a shaky breath, deliberately avoiding his piercing gaze. “What the heck are you talking about? You should leave, John. It’s obvious she doesn’t want you here,” Reuben bellowed looking at him like he wants to throw a fist at his face. “I’m waiting for my answer, Evelyn,” John interrupted with a firm voice. His eyes never left me.“I… I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I stammered, my voice barely above a whisper. My throat tightened as tears threatened to spill, but I swallowed hard, determined not to break down in front of him. “Wait.” Reuben tilted his head, his voice dripping with disbelief as he turned to John. “Are you trying to say that Harry and Harriet are your kids?” John let out a heavy sigh. “This,” he said, raising the paper in his hand. "is the evidence to prove they are my biological children. Evelyn
EVELYN "Are you daft? Don't you know I prefer my coffee with less sugar?" Diane yelled, her eyes wide with anger as she glared at me. Her hands shook with rage and immediately, she splashed the hot coffee all over my face.The burning liquid ran down, and I flinched, my heart racing as I wiped my eyes. The sting of her anger hurt more than the coffee itself.Have you ever seen a pack where Luna is still neglected and treated like a slave, even after getting married?Well, that’s me. I’m Evelyn Matthew, a 20-year-old girl who is mated to the powerful Alpha John from the Silver Moon pack. He was my second chance mate, a sparkle of hope after my first mate cruelly rejected me. It was the most painful experience of my life, a memory that haunts me since I was barely 18. My parents are dead, and now I live in the slave quarters where most omegas and orphans stay and are mistreated by the citizens of the Silver Moon pack.When I found out that my second chance mate was the Alpha of the pac
.EVELYN Everything I was feeling at that moment came to a sudden halt. I slowly lifted my head, as I strained to comprehend what I just heard. A sharp wince escaped my lips, my body protesting as I attempted to shift my weight onto the edge of the bed. What was he talking about? Rejection? My heart sank like a stone in my chest. As I gazed up at him, my eyes widened in disbelief. I couldn't even stand on my feet properly because of the cold shivers running down my spine as soon as he finished that statement. My knees went weak. "Alpha John..." I managed to whisper, my voice trembling. “You heard me.” He interrupted coldly, his tone sharp and brutal. I shook my head in disbelief, and gathered my strength to stand up straight. I looked up at him and noticed the tight lines etched across his forehead and the way his jaw clenched. He was dead serious. But why? He picked up his shirt from the bed and wore it, standing by the window. His back was turned to me, the fabric of his
“That push was hard, Evelyn,” Diane began, her voice trembling as she wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, a pout forming on her lips. “Why…why did you have to do that when you knew that I was pregnant?” She sobbed more, exaggerating her expression.What... What is she saying? I felt my heart pound in my chest, each beat echoing the fear that coursed through me. When did she ever tell me she was pregnant? What kind of insane accusation is this? "If anything happens to my child, my heir, Evelyn, I won't let you off easy. Is that why you pushed her so hard? So she would lose this baby? Why are you so heartless?" John's voice was filled with disappointment directed at me, and he shook his head, his brow furrowed. His fists were clenched tightly at his sides, knuckles white as if he wanted to punch me.He fully believed her. Just how much did she have him wrapped around her fingers?"Please, believe me, I'm just finding out—"Before I could finish, Diane's loud cries drowned o
EVELYN POVWait, 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 l
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 My fists clenched as soon as I saw John standing at my front door, acting too relaxed, like he owned the place.Without thinking, I walked toward him, ready to push him out of my space. But then I noticed Giovanni standing in the hallway. His jaw was tight, his eyes reddened, like someone had stopped him from coming inside."Evelyn," Gio said with a calm voice as his eyes darted towards me coming outside.John turned at the sound, giving me a smug smile that made my blood boil."Get out of my house," I snapped, my voice sharp. "If you don’t leave now, I’ll call the guards to throw you out. You have no right to be here. How dare you think of stepping foot into his house?"John didn’t move, though his smile faded a bit. I barely looked at him before turning to Gio. My voice softened just a little. "Let’s go inside," I said, turning my back towards the door."It's okay," Gio said softly, his voice gentle as he stepped back. "I just wanted to check if you and the kids are doing fi
"Who are you, and what the heck are you doing here?" Giovanni demanded with his voice sounding breathless.He lay sprawled on the ground, panting heavily, his body fully shifted back into human form. His gaze locked onto Evelyn, draped naked across a man's lap. Sand and streaks of blood clung to their skin. Giovanni blinked rapidly, his vision sharpening and when he finally saw the man's face, his stomach twisted. It was John. His expression darkened instantly, his brows knitting into a deep frown.John’s arms tightened protectively around Evelyn as he crouched behind the cover of a tree, his eyes darting toward the woods. He was trying to shield her, making sure he was alert, watching for the wolves still prowling nearby. The growls and snapping claws echoed in the distance. Giovanni dragged himself closer, his jaw clenched as his eyes bore into John. "Get your hands off her," he growled with a low voice.John’s head snapped towards Giovanni, his face hardening. "She's hurt," he sna
EVELYN POVA strange heat spread under my skin, blurring my vision. My fingers trembled as sharp claws started to push through, scraping against my nails. Panic squeezed at my chest.“No, no…” I whispered, my voice shaking. “It can’t be Moon Goddess Day. Not today.”I stumbled, my legs giving way as I fought against the shift. The dining room seemed miles away, each step a battle against the wolf trying to take control. My wolf, Vivi, growled inside me, her presence growing stronger.“Ahh!” I cried out, clutching my sides, desperate to hold her back. My breath came in ragged gasps. “Vivi, please! Not now!”Her pull was raging inside of me, no matter how hard I tried it wasn't going to work and I need to save my kids and atleast lock them inside the room. I collapsed to my knees, nails scraping the floor as my claws fully emerged. My body trembled violently, caught in the struggle between human and wolf.This was the cruel reality of Moon Goddess Day. For most Alphas, it was a brief sh
“Mummy, what are you making for dinner?” Harriet asked, bouncing on her legs. Her eyes sparkled with curiosity as she watched her mother stir the pot on the stove.“Mashed rice and vegetables,” Evelyn replied with a warm smile, gently ruffling Harriet’s hair.“Can I help?” Harriet's small voice chimed.Evelyn shook her head, her hands still busy. “No, sweetheart. Go watch a movie with your brother, Harry. I’ll call you when it’s ready, okay?”Harriet frowned but didn’t argue. Instead, she turned and padded over to the cabinet. Climbing onto a tall stool, she reached for a knife to cut some leaves. “Harriet, wait!” Evelyn’s voice rang out, gently, stopping her in her tracks. “Come on, you’ll hurt yourself; it’s sharp!” Evelyn warned, glancing at the knife in her daughter’s hands.“Is it so wrong for me to help you in the kitchen, Mum?” Harriet asked, her eyes wide with surprise.Evelyn shook her head, taken aback by the question. She quickly took the knife and placed it on the high s
DIANE POV "What?" I gasped, my voice trembling as the word escaped me. My knees buckled, and I clung to the edge of the table to keep myself upright so that I won't fall. A cold, sharp ache pierced my chest, leaving me breathless. The phone slipped from my hand, tumbling toward the floor. Before it hit the ground, Aria snatched it up."They're his biological kids!" I blurted as I scoffed in disbelief.I froze, my eyes fixed on the DNA report spread out on the table. My stomach twisted in knots, and tears burned at the edges of my eyes. The lines of text blurred, but I couldn’t look away. My hands shook as I fumbled to call the doctor who had performed the test. I needed to hear it from him. I needed to know if what I was seeing was real. "Jeez, Diane, I told you these are legit! But no, you'd rather call the doctor to confirm," Aria voiced as she stepped closer and reached out to me, trying to grab my hand. "Look, let's just leave the hospital. Staying here doesn’t make any sense.
JOHN POV."Wow, Mr. Handsome, you’re even better looking in person!" Harriet exclaimed, her eyes sparkling as she leaned forward, resting her chin on her hand. A playful grin spread across her face, and she threw in a quick wink . "Harry’s been telling me all about you, but I have to say, you’re way cuter in real life."I sighed inwardly. Gosh, these kids."Marry me, Mr. Handsome," she added, clasping her hands together as if pleading. The corner of my lips twitched, and a small smile broke my lips.We were at Costco Restaurant, where I had managed to reserve a cozy table for four in the VIP section immediately I got the messy coming from Harry. As I looked at Harry and Harriet, I couldn’t help but grin. The joy of the moment seemed to wrap around me like a warm blanket."This is risky, Alpha John. I really don’t want to do this. If Ms. Evelyn catches me, I’m done for," Bea muttered nervously, her voice barely above a whisper. I scooped a small portion of the lemon soup and brought
