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

  • Rejected And Betrayed: Chasing My Luna Back.   63. He knows.

    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

  • Rejected And Betrayed: Chasing My Luna Back.   64. Truth revealed.

    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

  • Rejected And Betrayed: Chasing My Luna Back.   65. Deceived.

    EVELYNI slapped my hands over my mouth, breathing quickly and shallowly. My chest tightened as disbelief took over. I gripped the edge of the table, trying to stay still as my legs wobbled beneath me. A bitter scoff escaped my lips."So... So that means he deceived me?" I whispered, my voice shaking."He just wanted the information, Evelyn," he muttered. "And now he has it. I’m honestly shocked. No wonder, whenever I asked about the father of your kids, you always said he was dead. Why didn’t you tell me? Didn’t you trust me?"He crossed his arms tightly over his chest, staring at me with disappointment. I shook my head, unable to meet his eyes."It’s not like that, Reuben," I said quickly. "I just wanted to keep it from certain people… to protect my kids from finding out.""Oh! So that means I'm a blabbermouth?" he replied, raising an eyebrow.I shot him a sharp side-eye with a small chuckle. We both knew the truth, but I wasn’t ready to admit it."Now that you know," I said, my voi

    EVELYN "This wouldn’t have happened if the safety rules had been followed," Jude said, clearly upset. "We’re really disappointed. We don’t want to vote you out and give this project to your competitors, but...""I understand, sir," I replied quietly, trying to stay calm.He leaned forward, placing his hands on the table. "Show us proof that they’re recovering well, Ms. Evelyn. We need to know everything is under control. Don’t just tell us it’s fine, we need to see it. Otherwise, this might not go well for you."I took a deep breath, feeling the pressure of their judgment. And then there was Diane, sitting back in her chair, arms crossed, a smirk on her face coupled with her deep red lipstick. That smirk. It dug into me, making me even more frustrated. She wasn’t even trying to hide how much she was enjoying my discomfort.The more I saw her smug look, the more i felt like strangling her and wolfing out at her. But what could I do? She was one of the investors, and her opinion matte

    Romaine slammed his hands down on the table with a loud crack, making the glasses shake and causing everyone around him to jump. He stood up quickly, his eyes full of anger and his chest rising and falling with each breath."How dare you bring that up?" he snarled. "Is this what we're talking about? Or do you think just because you are the mayor’s son, I won’t do something about it?"Evelyn froze, her breath catching in her throat. Her eyes widened as she processed his words. The mayor’s son? The shock hit her like a slap. So that’s why he gave the Pack’s responsibilities to John so quickly... He left the Pack to pursue a career in politics.Before she could think more about it, someone else snapped back with harsh words."Oh, is that how it is now? You are hurt right?" The voice was full of mockery. "If that’s the case, why bring her personal life into business? Coming from someone like you, an illegitimate child, you don’t even have the guts to make a point!"Romain’s fists clenched

    Evelyn's hand trembled as she reached for his arm, fingers hovering just inches from his sleeve. Her breath hitched, but she held on, her grip weak, hoping to pull him back, hoping to stop the anger boiling inside him.John scoffed, shrugging off his suit jacket with a sharp tug. Without another word, he strode toward the door, his footsteps echoing through the empty hallway.Giovanni stepped closer, his brow furrowing as his gaze flicked between Evelyn’s cheek and her shaking body. "He didn’t hurt you, did he?" His voice was soft with concern etched on his face as Evelyn quickly shook her head, though she couldn’t understand why her gaze went to the spot where John had passed away..Giovanni and Evelyn sat across from each other in the quiet glow of Wollow Restaurant, located just outside the Nightshade Pack. Though it was outside the Pack, it was still owned by them. The soft murmur of conversation mixing with the clink of glasses filled the room. Evelyn’s gaze wandered to the nigh

  • Rejected And Betrayed: Chasing My Luna Back.   69. Diane POV

    DIANE“Well, I did my part. We were so close to getting rid of her… until your husband decided to step in,” he muttered, folding his hands on his chest spreading his legs apart."I mean, is he having an affair with her? Is that why he had to defend her in front of you?" His laced with curiosity, but then he added in a low disgusting voice. "Well, she does look prettier than you, though." His comment hit like a slap as my hands curled into fists at my sides. I didn’t need him to remind me of what I already knew. The memory of the meeting earlier today flashed vividly in my mind, the sting still fresh. I could remember it so clearly, John standing up for that wretched woman.I forced a smile, masking the hurt gnawing at me.“I was expecting better from you, Alpha Romain,” I said, my voice cold and sharp. My eyes lingered on his bruised face as I rose from the couch. I stood up with a serious expression on my face, refusing to let even the faintest smile slip through.“What? So you’re

    EVEYLN "You just have to be careful and stay two steps ahead of them, Evelyn," Giovanni warned, his tone serious as I nodded my head."I wonder what they're plotting now. I expect something bigger soon." I stepped into the villa's corridor after our trip to the restaurant. We had stopped to shop, and my heart warmed as I glanced at the bag filled with clothes and shoes for Bea but I won't give her now, it would be a surprise. A smile crept onto my face.We had also picked up Harry's milk and medicines, along with some herbs from the Pack’s farm."Are you sure you don’t want me to take those off your hands?" Gio asked, eyeing the two heavy bags I was carrying. I sighed, glancing at the four bulging bags he carried. “I was going to ask you the same thing.”He nodded squinting his eyes, giving me a side eye as I sneered. Just as he reached for the door, I placed my hand on the handle too. Our fingers brushed, and as I looked up, our eyes meeting for a brief moment before I quickly pull

    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
