EVEYLN

My eyes widened in surprise at her words. I glanced at John, then, without a second thought, hurried into the kitchen.

"That's not love," I said gently, resting a hand on her back and giving it a soft tap, a small smile playing on my lips. "Have you eaten?" I asked, tilting my head.

She nodded quickly, her eyes lighting up. "You're the only one who hasn't eaten, Mummy," she said, her voice innocent and sweet.

"Food's ready, Ms." John chimed in, his tone light as he untied his apron.

I turned just in time to see him toss the apron onto the top of the fridge. With a sigh, I plucked it off, folded it neatly, and carried it to the cupboard in the storage room.

"For your information," I called back over my shoulder, "we keep things organized here."

“You know I could sue you for stalking me, right?” I snapped, glaring at him. He didn’t even flinch, his expression annoyingly calm. “I’m sure you bribed the security guards.”

He scoffed and shook his head as he ignored me. “Come her

    JOHNThe way he buzzes around her like an overeager fly, always sticking close, even with the kids, it makes my skin crawl. I can’t stand him. Every time he looks at her with that smug face and soft eyes, I get the overwhelming urge to rearrange it with my fist.And now, he has the audacity to ask that ridiculous question? Really? As if he doesn’t know I’m their father. The nerve of this guy. And that smirk—oh, I swear, if smirks were punchable offenses, he’d be unconscious already.I kept one eye on the window as I scrubbed the plate, making sure he was gone and Evelyn had come back inside."You’re gonna snap your neck, Alpha John. Relax, she’s not running away"Bea’s voice snapped me out of my intense window-monitoring. She stood across from me, grinning as she grabbed some fruit to slice. Then she strolled over to my side, reaching for a flat plate."Never thought I’d see an Alpha scrubbing dishes," she mused, avoiding my gaze as a playful smirk creeping across her face.I turned t

    EVELYN"John's the one taking the kids, right?" Giovanni asked, glancing at me. I nodded slowly, knowing he wished he could go too. But the kids would love it if their dad joined them, they are already fond of John. Giovanni smiled, but I could see the longing in his eyes as we waited at the airport.Time dragged on, and I wondered who we were waiting for, I have already gotten like fifteen missed calls from John, with messages like 'where are you?', Like I'm with his lungs or something. Suddenly, I spotted an average height and slim woman putting on a black gown, rushing toward us, her suitcase bouncing at her side. My heart raced as I recognized her."Elena!" I shouted, throwing my arms wide."Eveyln! Oh my goddess you look so pretty!"She opened her arms to me, and we embraced tightly, grinning from ear to ear. It felt like ages since I last saw her even though it's about three years.Elena was Giovanni's sister. At first, she had been wary of me when I joined the pack, treating m

    GIOVANNII slumped into the chair in my room, pressing my back against its cool surface as I clenched my fists. My eyes shut tight, but the image of Evelyn and John together burned in my mind, twisting like a knife in my chest.A sharp creak from the door cut through my thoughts, and my eyes snapped open."Get out of my room!" I growled.The faint scent of lavender and citrus hit me, Elena. Of course, it had to be her. She should’ve stayed abroad, far from here, far from me, far from the chaos she always brought.Her heels clicked against the floor as she stepped inside, ignoring my command. She smirked, crossing her arms. "The old Alpha Giovanni is back," she said mockingly. "I was like what happened to my old cold brother? Did that little brat actually change him?"My glare met hers, sharp in the dim light. Heat rose in my chest, my control slipping as my irises threatened to glow red. But she didn’t flinch. Instead, she scoffed, her gaze drifting lazily around the room as she circl

  • Rejected And Betrayed: Chasing My Luna Back.   76. Report.

    JOHNI stepped into the palace's grand hall, my eyes immediately finding her. She stood by an ornate mirror, slipping into a long navy-blue dress that shimmered under the chandelier’s light. Her face was covered in heavy makeup, almost like a mask, and a crown rested on her head, a crown meant for a Luna. The rose-gold centerpiece gleamed, a symbol of power and beauty she hadn’t earned.The heck is she planning now,cause right now I'm confused."My Goddess, son-in-law, how have you been?" A warm voice pulled me from my thoughts, heels echoing in the hall. I turned to see a middle-aged woman approaching with effortless grace. She wore a flowing purple gown that swayed with each step, her golden accessories catching the light. Her dark hair was styled into intricate buns, exuding elegance. In her hands, she carried a basket full of fruit.It was Diane’s mother, Iris Carlson. Her presence alone made me instinctively bow my head in respect.Then, an older man strode into the room—Alpha L

    EVEYLNThe hall buzzed with noise as parents argued loudly about how the school should be run. I couldn’t help glancing at John. He sat beside me, focused on his phone, a small smile appearing as he looked at a picture of the kids.The P.T.A. meeting itself wasn’t too bad, but I could feel people staring at us. Whispers spread through the room like a quiet storm. Some looked confused, others surprised, and a few smiled like they had just spotted a celebrity. The attention made me shift uncomfortably in my seat."You look a little creepy, Mr. John," I teased, keeping a straight face.John smirked and slipped his phone into his pocket. His eyes met mine, warm and amused. "My baby looks just like you," he said softly. "She just texted me, she’s eating cake in class."I rolled my eyes and muttered, "Gosh, these kids. Who even gives them these phones?" "Jealous that I'm getting more attention than you?" John teased, a grin spreading across his face."Keep dreaming," I shot back, rolling m

    "Harriet!"My heart nearly stopped when I saw her lying on the floor. Blood dripped from her mouth, dark and frightening against her pale skin. Without hesitation, John picked her up as she lay in his arms, his face full of panic. Tears filled my eyes as I noticed the pool of blood beneath her. It was too much, far too much for such a small child."Move!!!" John shouted, his voice desperate. People quickly stepped aside as we ran toward his car. We hadn’t arrived together, I didn’t have a driver, but he did. The door slammed shut, and within seconds, we were racing out of the school parking lot."Harriet, Harriet, please wake up!" I begged, my voice shaking. "Mummy’s here, baby, please!"My hands trembled as I touched her cold, pale face. The car hit a bump, making her tiny body shift, her head flopping lifelessly. Fear tightened around my chest, my breathing quick and shallow. The sharp smell of blood filled the air, almost making me to loose my breathe. "Calm down, Evelyn. She’ll b

    JOHNI clutched my phone tightly, my knuckles whitening as I waited for him to speak again. But the words seemed stuck in his throat, swallowing whatever he was trying to say. "What... what did you just say?" Her voice trembled, thin and shaky, like the fragile crack of glass. I glanced at her, her body visibly trembling, and let out a soft sigh before stepping closer. "I’ll handle this. Just stay here with Harriet, okay?" I said gently, my tone firm but trying to sound calm. Her eyes widened, panic spilling into her voice as she stammered, "What do you mean Harry can’t be found?" She didn’t even seem to register my words. I rested a hand on her shoulder, giving it a soft, reassuring squeeze, and nodded. Without waiting for her response, I turned and dashed out of the hospital. From behind me, I heard her shout my name. But I didn’t stop. I couldn’t. I wouldn’t burden her with what Andrew had just told me. "Harry can't be found? What nonsense," I muttered under my breath

    EVEYLNI paced up and down the hallway outside the room where they’d placed my daughter not even a though of sitting down for what seems four hours. My heart pounded as questions swirled in my mind. And then a nurse came out of the room as I ran to her place holding her hands. "No comments, all I know is that it affected the little girl badly" she bowed her head slowly as she began leaving my sight. I placed my hand on my chest as I bent my head to the back trying not to let my tears spill out of my eyes. Who would dare give her chocolate cake when they know how sensitive it is? How? Why was she the only one given? It didn’t make any sense. The sound of hurried footsteps broke through my thoughts. “Evelyn, oh my goodness!” Winnie’s voice came from down the hall. She ran toward me, her face drawn tight with worry. She reached out to me as she placed her hands firmly on my shoulders, her eyes darting to the glass window on the door. She stared at my daughter lying motionless inside

    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

    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
