Evelyn’s POVEveryone in the hall was struck by a shocked silence. The only sound was Roman’s terrified sobbing.After a long moment, Tristan finally swallowed and asked in a hoarse voice, "…W-what?"“No! Tristan! None of it is true!”Leah suddenly grabbed his hand, shaking it wildly as if trying to shake the horrible things he just heard out of his mind, “Don’t listen to their lies!”Isolde cried out loudly, “You said Jimmy was lying because we bribed him. What about now? Your own son said the same thing. Surely he can’t be bought by us! So what he said must be the truth!”Leah dropped to her knees, clutching Tristan’s pants, sobbing, “I don’t know… They must have threatened Roman… There were only vitamins in that bottle…”Asher chuckled icily and waved the small plastic bottle to Roman.“Did you hear that, Roman? Your mom is still insisting there are only vitamins in the bottle. Seems like she really doesn’t want us to give you the antidote. Your life means nothing to her,” he said
Evelyn's POV:"What... No!!!" Leah screamed hysterically, "Why are you sending Roman to an orphanage? He's not an orphan!" Nora rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath, "The things he's done are worse than any poorly raised orphan." "Or a boarding school. You get the drill," Asher ignored the crazy Leah and looked at Tristan, "Roman's behavior needs to be corrected. If he stays by your mistress’s side, he’ll become a horrible heir and cause you and this pack even bigger problems in the future." Tristan's lower eyelid twitched, as if Asher had hit a sore spot. "But sending him to boarding school... Isn't that too cruel?" he hesitated. "I know an excellent boarding school. The teachers and facilities there are top-notch, I can guarantee that." Tristan furrowed his brows, still deep in thought. Leah wailed and threw herself onto him, shaking his arm vigorously, "No... Don't send him away! I swear I can teach him to be good!" Tristan leaned in and gritted to her in a low, u
Evelyn's POVTristan stood there stiffly.After a long pause, he finally squeezed out a few words through clenched teeth:“B-but Leah…she's so soft and kind. After giving birth to Roman, she stayed in Ironclaw Pack alone. She often told me that she didn’t want to be the other woman and she'd bless the two of us. She's a really good person…”I clenched my fists, couldn't hold back a cold laugh: “She didn’t want to interfere in our marriage? Then what has she been doing since she arrived at Blazewood Pack?”“That’s because you were hurting Roman…”“You still believe her lies?” I snapped, my voice trembling. “When Roman was with me, at least he was a healthy, lively child! But after just two days with Leah, he nearly became a murderer! Can’t you see this, Tristan? Between me and Leah, who is the real liar?!”Tristan stared blankly at me, his expression torn.I waited for a long moment, but he still didn’t say anything. At that point, I was completely disappointed.“Whatever, Tristan.”I
Evelyn’s POV“Luna Evelyn, why isn't Alpha Tristan here tonight?” A guest sneered at me. “The rumor is true then? That he has a mistress and your marriage is over?”I clutched my champagne glass, my stomach churning with pain.Tonight was the annual Full Moon Festival.My husband Tristan was supposed to be here with me. But he was out fooling around again, leaving me to face hundreds of guests alone—most of them eager to see me fail.I forced a stiff smile, “Tristan just had some urgent business to attend to, but he’ll join us shortly.”Raising my glass, I spoke loudly to all the guests:“Members, welcome! This new year will be a great start for Blazewood Pack! I’m honored to announce that we will be developing the Carnival City with a construction company in Storm Fang Pack. Their CEO Jason will arrive in a few days to sign the contract. This project will help us thrive!”The crowd murmured in admiration.My pride gradually replaced the embarrassment caused by Tristan's absence.Storm
Evelyn’s POVThe pain felt like it was tearing my body in two. I clutched my chest and struggled to breathe.“Don’t pretend to faint. I’m not falling for it,” Tristan said coldly.“Why would you do this?” I asked in a broken voice, “We are mates…Tristan!”“All we have is mate-bond! I don’t want to trap in a loveless marriage!” Tristan snapped, “If you refuse to divorce, I’ll expel you!”I stared at him in disbelief.When we mated, I left my birth pack, Emerald Howl Pack, and married into Blazewood Pack. So if he expels me now, I’ll be a wolf without a pack—a rogue.He was cruel enough to do this to me.“But before I kick you out, you need to hand over all the files related to Carnival City,” Tristan said coldly. “I’ve decided to let Leah take charge of the project. She just joined Blazewood Pack and needs some credits.”I stared at him in disbelief. I poured my heart and soul into this project, and now, just as it was about to succeed, Leah was going to steal the fruits of my labor?
Evelyn's POVMy child... only six-month-old…THEY KILLED HIM!!All because Leah wanted me to raise Roman!!!I screamed and struggled desperately. The agony almost tore my soul apart.“No…NO!!” I cried, tears and dirt mixing into mud on my face. “My child…my baby!!!”Yet Leah laughed even harder.“You will have your karma!” I choked out through my sobs. “You have no idea how to run a pack. When you mess up everything, the furious members will tear you apart!”Leah giggled, “With my help, Blazewood Pack will only thrive! You stupid bitch, do you even know who I am? I’m the daughter of the Alpha of Ironclaw Pack!”My eyes widened in shock.Ironclaw Pack was a very powerful pack.It wasn’t like Alpha Asher’s Storm Fang Pack, but it was still formidable enough.I didn’t know Leah had such a powerful family.“Compared to me, you are nothing,” Leah giggled.The cold earth continued to fall on me, gradually covering my head.Leah’s voice came again, sounding a bit muffled:“…Tristan and I will
Evelyn’s POVA round of surprised gasps broke out from the crowd.Alpha Asher…What was he doing here?!He was the Alpha of Storm Fang Pack, a huge business tycoon. There were hundreds of thousands of companies in his pack.The Carnival City Project was huge to us, but nothing to him.Why would he show up here today?“Alpha Asher heard about our project and was really interested in it,” Jason explained to Tristan. “So if you agree, the Hawthorne Enterprise will replace me and become your new partner.”Tristan inhaled sharply, and so did every elder behind his back.“Of course, I agree! This is our honor to work with you!!!” Tristan gasped out in joy. “Let’s go inside, Alpha Asher. I’ve had refreshment prepared—”“Wait.”Asher interrupted in a chilling voice, “Where’s Evelyn? Jason said she is in charge of this project.”There was a short, tensed silence. and then Tristan forced a smile.“Actually…there’s been a change. Leah will replace Evelyn as the leader of this project now.” Tristan
Evelyn’s POV“B-buried alive?” Tristan cried, “What the hell are you talking about?!”Leah sucked in a sharp breath and shrieked, “Don’t listen to her Tristan! She is crazy—”“I didn’t mean to disappear!” I cut her off, “Your mistress forged your handwriting, lured me to the back hill, and buried me alive! If it weren’t for the heavy rain last night, I’d already be dead!”“…What?” Tristan murmured.All the elders gasped in shock, looking at Leah in horror.A shadow flickered across Leah’s face before she burst into tears again:“This is ridiculous! Tristan, you know I can’t even hurt a little bird. Evelyn… she’s clearly making this up!”“We can go to the back hill right now! The pit you dug is still there!” I cried, my voice trembling. “And I still have the note from last night! Tristan, look at this! Did you write this?”I pulled out the note and handed it to Tristan. Leah struggled fiercely, desperately trying to stop me in a panic, but Tristan had already taken it. “This is strang
