Rejected And Betrayed: Chasing My Luna Back. 1. What she never expected.
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 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 pi

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. After the blood transfusion, her health progressed a little, but she was still in pain. At least she could sit in a wheelchair now, even if she couldn’t walk. Seeing her like this made me want to protect her with my life.I couldn't wait to crown her as my Luna. We were childhood sweethearts and I held her dear to my heart. We had to break up since she was leaving the Pack to further her education. It broke me completely.Since she returned, she brought a peace to my heart that I didn’t know I was missing. Her presence calmed the chaos in my life. I knew Evelyn was trying hard to win my heart. I saw her efforts in cooking

EVELYN "Anything that happens next should be between us, please! I’m begging you with my life! Just pretend nothing happened and you didn't notice anything!" 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. I have endured enough torment.I wiped my tears away as I saw the doctor leave the room and clos

EVEYLN"Alright, Harry," he said, settling into the seat next to him. I narrowed my eyes at them, confused, my face scrunched in curiosity. He gently took the book from Harry’s hands, flipped through a few pages, then sighed and shook his head."But you do know," he said calmly. "that not all werewolves can be killed by wolfsbane, right? So, you're wrong."Harry frowned, his brows knitting together. "Then why did my teacher say that?" he asked."That's exactly why she gave you the assignment," he replied with a small smirk. "A wolfsbane plant can’t kill a Lycan...""What on earth are you teaching my son?" I snapped, striding over with Harriet in my arms. My voice cut through their conversation. Without hesitation, I snatched the papers from his hands.He raised an eyebrow at me, while I rolled my eyes. "Of course, wolfsbane can kill a Lycan," I said firmly, my voice rising slightly. "If it's mixed with its own blood, a hybrid's blood, and the plant itself."He let out a heavy sigh, p

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

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

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

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 "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

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

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

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
