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
JOHN we searched every part of the thick woods around the school, checking every dark corner and tangled bush. the air smelled of damp earth and leaves, but there was no sign of him. i had made sure the search was thorough, my twenty warriors spread out, the principal and his guards walked alongside us, and andrew stayed close by my side.i crouched near an old, empty cage hidden under a pile of vines. my wolf instincts kicked in as i took a deep breath, trying to catch even the faintest trace of his scent. nothing. frustration built up as i stood, placing my hands on my hips with a deep sigh. the heavy silence around us was broken only by the faint rustling of leaves."alpha, we found nothing," one of my warriors reported, his voice filled with regret. he stepped forward, the sound of twigs cracking under his boots.andrew shook his head, his expression tense. "nothing out here," he muttered grimly."You mean to tell me you all can't find my son?" I yelled, my voice echoing through
EVEYLN"She's so rude.""Wow, acting all high and mighty just because she claims to be the first woman to achieve something in the werewolf world? She’s so full of herself.""Such classless behavior."I scrolled through the comments on the company’s website and other platforms, reading every word people had to say about the videos. The clips showed Aria putting on a dramatic performance, kneeling at ThornField, pleading for my forgiveness, then collapsing in a way that made it seem like I had pushed her. It was all so staged, so fake, yet some people actually believed it."This is pure manipulation. She definitely has a reason for doing this," Elena said firmly, taking a sip of water. Winnie nodded silently with agreement.We were sitting in the hospital café, its sterile white walls doing little to mask the hum of quiet conversations and the occasional clinking of cups. I couldn’t leave the hospital, not until John arrived. His driver had been shadowing me the entire time, trailing b
GIOVANNI"Sweet brother," Elena called out, her voice light and teasing as her footsteps echoed down the stone hallway. I rolled my eyes, muttering under my breath. How did she always know where to find me, even down here in the dungeon?The air was thick with the stench of decay, heavy and suffocating. Elena wrinkled her nose, waving a hand in front of her face. "Ugh, this place still smells dead bodies" she said with a sharp tone of disgust. "Why can’t anyone clean this dungeon properly? Don't you guys dispose fucking bodies?"She snapped at the nearby guards, her voice echoing off the damp walls. They didn’t, react nor flinch, expressionless as always and that's the main reason they are dungeon guards, heartless and would leave you to anyone here to die because once you enter here, you are already considered a dead person except, moon goddess pardons your life. With a frustrated huff, she planted her hands on her hips like a queen scolding her servants. She looked like she had eit
EVEYLNI saw his red eyes slowly fade, returning to their green color. "Look, Eveyln you have to listen to me, you child will be in danger..."Stepping closer, I gently took his hands in mine. Then, I gave the driver a small nod, silently dismissing him. He bowed respectfully and walked out of the hallway, leaving us alone, meanwhile Carlo stood outside as we entered inside the room.He sat stiffly in the chair by Harriet’s bed, while I settled on the edge of the mattress, the blankets crumpling beneath me.Taking a deep breath, I began explaining everything, what had happened to Harriet and Harry, and how John was involved. I could sense his doubt immediately I mentioned John."Where is John now?" he asked, his voice tense and distrustful. His sharp gaze locked onto me, full of suspicion.I sighed, my shoulders slumping under the weight of it all. "He's... handling this issue" I murmured. "And you believe that?""He said he'd be right back and asked me to look after Harriet," I add
JOHN“Mira, sweetheart, are you sure you didn’t see anyone take Harry from the classroom?” Diane asked gently, crouching to Mira’s level.The little girl kept her head down and slowly shook it without looking up.I couldn’t stop myself. Desperation crept into my voice. “Are you sure? Was it a teacher? Did you see her? I know it was a woman…”“Alpha John,” Aria interrupted firmly, reaching for Mira’s trembling hand. “I understand how badly you want to find the person responsible, but please, she’s just a child. Pressuring her won’t help. She’s already told you everything she knows.” she paused then continued. "so please it's either you enjoy or meal or...""Or I leave" I pushed my chair back with a loud screech. “Well, I’m leaving.” I rolled my eyes and stomped out of the house, slamming the door behind me. Light but hurried footsteps followed close behind. It had to be Diane.This whole trip had been a waste of time. I should have gone with Andrew to track down the list of buyers for
DIANE "Your man and his ex-wife are getting cozy inside," Aria texted. I stared at the message and scoffed, acting like it didn’t bother me. But deep down, it did. No matter how much I tried to ignore it, the words stung. In the restroom, I turned on the faucet and rinsed my hands, scrubbing off the sticky chocolate as it almost makes me wanna throw up. It clung to my skin, just like the bitterness of that text. I grabbed a napkin and dried my hands quickly. My phone buzzed again, but I ignored it. Instead, I pressed the call button and held the phone to my ear. "Heo Chino," I said, my voice low but firm. "Take the kid to the basement at Nacro Pack. Don’t worry, Aria will keep them distracted. Just make sure John doesn’t notice." I hung up without waiting for a reply and slipped the phone into my bag. My heels clicked against the floor as I left the restroom, each step matching the rhythm of my thoughts. Near the classroom door, I paused and glanced inside. Harriet sat a
EVEYLN The moment Bea called to say Harry was back, I didn’t waste a second. My heart raced as I rushed out. I didn’t care about the details or his condition, my son was home, and that was all that mattered. But I couldn’t shake the confusion. How had this happened?Without thinking, I texted John, my hands shaking. Only after I sent it did I remember he had mentioned handling with something at home. I shouldn’t have bothered him. Regret settled in my chest.Chino wasn’t outside, but I knew he was already in the car, waiting to take me to the villa.When we arrived, panic hit me the moment I saw my car parked out front. John was here. My legs moved before my thoughts, and I rushed inside.The air in the parlor was heavy with tension. Then I saw him, my son. My breath caught, my eyes widening in surprise as I placed my hands on my mouth."Evelyn..." A voice broke the silence, pulling me back.I didn’t need to turn to know it was John. His hand settled firmly on my shoulder, grounding
EVEYLN POV"I mean dead, sorry," he corrected quickly, bowing his head before grabbing his broom and sweeping the floor like he was desperate to disappear.At least now I had something, a clue.He was killed.Maybe I should just accept that. But still… why? Was it guilt? Had he taken his own life, haunted by what he’d done?I turned to John. “One of the workers said he was killed.”“By the person who sent him,” John said casually, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.My face twisted in confusion.What was he even talking about?“What are you saying, John? Where did you even get that from?” I asked, shaking my head in disbelief.John just gave a small smile as he pulled open the car door for me. I slid in, and he closed it gently behind me.A moment later, the engine roared to life, and we sped off.“Are you trying to say Elvis was paid to do that?” I pressed.“To frame me,” John said simply.I let out a shaky breath and slammed my back against the seat.It just kept gettin
EVEYLN The first thing I did that morning was rush to the hospital to see her. My chest tightened as I pushed open the door to her room, empty. The bed was made and she was gone.Panic bubbled in my throat, but then I saw it, a small folded note left on the table beside the bed. My fingers trembled as I picked it up."Thank you for risking your life to save me, Ms. I’ll escape and break everything. Please don’t come looking for me."She didn’t even sign her name. No clue, no hint of who she really was.Clearly, she didn’t want me to find her.Maybe John was right. Maybe I should just let it go. Honestly, I never would’ve imagined that a man as respected as Jude could raise someone like Darwin—a twisted, perverted and reckless son who preyed on young girls.But then again, she said her own parents sold her off to him. Maybe they knew exactly what kind of monster Darwin was. Maybe that’s why they handed her over without a second thought.What gets under my skin the most is knowing he
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
