Evelyn’s POVThen Tristan started striding over to us.Within seconds, he was in our way.“Can I see you for a second, Evelyn?” he asked stiffly.My eyes traveled to Leah. She was watching us with a bitter expression. It was precious.“OK.” I turned to give Asher a soft smile, “See you later, Alpha Asher.”Asher picked up my hand and left a peck on the back of it.“Looking forward to your speech,” he replied deeply.Tristan’s eyes were burning with jealousy.He turned sharply and walked away. I followed behind his back. As soon as we were alone, he fired away immediately:“What did you and Alpha Asher talk about? Why did he kiss you?!!”I wasn’t going to tell him about the Luna contract.“He was worried about Leah’s qualification. As for that kiss…he was only being polite,” I said aloofly.Tristan let out a sigh of relief, “Oh. Tell him that there’s nothing to worry about. The transition will be very smoothly. Nothing will influence our collaboration.”He paused and gave me a disapprov
Evelyn’s POVI nodded weakly.Asher’s scent eased my pain. I secretly took another deep inhale.“Why are you still helping her, Alpha Asher? This woman is a backstabbing bitch!” Leah loudly cried, “She wants to get a scoop of our profit! Isn’t that ridiculous? You must be furious!”Tristan glared at me, breathing fast, “That’ll never happen. So don’t worry about this Alpha Asher. Blazewood Pack will be your only partner…”“I agree with Emerald Howl Pack joining.”“What?!” Tristan gasped in shock, and so did many others.“You heard me. I want her pack on board. And I want her as CEO.” Asher said, loud and clear.Tristan opened his mouth, looking at Asher in shock.He definitely didn’t expect Asher to be on my side.Even I was a little shocked.Me as CEO? I never dreamed about that.“Alpha Asher, are you serious right now?!” Leah cried indignantly, “Evelyn contributed nothing to this project! Why does she get to take a share of our profit?”“This project only exists because of her. The o
Evelyn’s POVTreason?I couldn’t believe what I just heard.“I’ve been nothing but a dutiful Luna! So tell me. How exactly did I commit treason?”Leah lifted his head, looking self-righteous, “You used Blazewood Pack’s resources to develop the Carnival City project, only to turn around and hand it over to your homeland. If that’s not treason, what is?”“And you agree with this, Tristan?” I snapped.Tristan held Leah in his arms and gave me a sullen look, “You did betray this pack when you tried to bring Emerald Howl Pack on board.”My heart almost got split in half by pain.How could he talk about betrayal?“Fine, then let’s take this to court then. Summon all the elders!” I gritted.Leah clearly hadn’t expected me to be so cooperative. Her face lit up with excitement.“Alright! But if you get convicted in court, you’ll be tossed into prison and rot there!” she said, gloating.Tristan frowned at me, “Just hand over the files and tell Alpha Asher you’ll drop out from the project. Nobod
Evelyn's POV“How did we bully you?” I asked angrily, “Let me remind you that it was you who barged into my room this morning. You even slapped my maid!”Leah hid behind Tristan’s back, sobbing into his shoulders, “Managing Blazewood’s project is my right as Tristan’s future Luna! But you don’t even let me do that. If that’s not bully, what is?”“We went through this! Carnival City isn’t Blazewood’s project!”But Leah’s wailing suddenly became louder and drowned out my voice.“Look at how tough she is, Tristan!” she choked in a breaking voice, “She has Alpha Asher’s support. She can walk all over me now. What am I going to do, Tristan?”Tristan held her tightly, “I won’t let them do this to you! I got your back, my love!”Then he turned to Asher and gritted:“Alpha Asher, I’m Blazewood Pack’s Alpha, so only I get to decide whether Leah stays or not! And the divorce hasn’t been finalized yet so technically Evelyn is still my wife! Please keep your distance from her!”Asher narrowed his
Evelyn's POVI stared at him as burning humiliation surged through me.“Are you even serious right now?” I asked, my body trembling with anger. “Do you even realize how insulting this is?!”He looked frustrated, “I know it’s not ideal. But Leah’s the daughter of Ironclaw Pack’s Alpha and Roman’s birth mother. And you Evelyn…you don’t have an impressive family, and you also haven’t given me a child all these years.”I felt like the pain was tearing me apart.How dare he blame me for being childless.He and his mistress murdered my baby!“And why do you worry about title anyway? Our feeling is all that matters.” he continued shamelessly, “You were so gorgeous at the party last night. Did you notice? All the other men were staring at you…I want you to be mine. So give me another chance, will you?”Elin roared inside of me. I trembled with pain and humiliation as well.“No.” I gritted, “It’s not about our feelings…it’s about my pride and dignity. I won’t let you and Leah insult me like th
Evelyn's POVMy hands started shaking uncontrollably. This was like a dream come true… Roman called me “Mom”! I couldn’t help but crouch down and hug him, my voice trembling, “What did you call me, Roman?” “Mom!” he shouted again, wrapping his little arms around my neck. “I missed you so much. Come back, Mom, okay? Let’s be a family again!” I tightened my arms around him as tears filled my eyes. “Evelyn.”Asher’s voice suddenly broke in, with a bit of a warning. His voice snapped me back to reality. Roman accused me of abusing him earlier. Why would he suddenly change his attitude?I quickly let go of him and looked into his eyes, “Roman, where’s Leah? Does she know you’re here?” His eyes shifted, “I don’t know if she knows or not. I just couldn’t sleep well near her, so I came to find you.” Then he grabbed my hand and shook it. “Can I sleep in your room, Mom?” he asked with a sweet smile. Once again, my heart swelled. If this was a dream, I didn’t want to wake up. “Of co
Leah's POVI never expected Evelyn to be this hard to deal with. I thought she’d be dead for sure after that night I buried her.Once she was out of the picture, Tristan, the Luna title, and the Carnival City project would all be mine!Who knew there would a rain that night, and that skunk survived! To make matters worse, not only did she come back, but she brought Alpha Asher as her help! Now just thinking about it makes me want to rip her face apart.She is just a pathetic divorcee. How the fuck did she get Alpha Asher’s attention?And why does she get to control the Carnival City project? Even Tristan is trying to win her back! I’m the one who should be admired by everyone! I have to fucking kill her. But making a second attempt won’t be easy. Evelyn’s on guard now. Luckily, I have an ace up my sleeve—my child, Roman. I know how much Evelyn wants Roman to love her. A woman without kids… how pathetic and easy to manipulate. “Roman my dear, you did a great job!” I said excit
Evelyn's POVSuddenly, the roar of an engine interrupted our gaze.Asher and I jerked around at the same time and saw a car speeding toward us. It stopped. Tristan and Leah jumped out. “Evelyn, what the fuck are you doing!” Tristan charged at me and snapped, “Are you trying to seduce Alpha Asher?” Leah staggered behind him, shrieking, “I told you she’s a whore! That child she carried 3 years ago probably wasn’t even yours!” Anger flared in me.She can trash me all she wants! But she won’t talk about my child like that!I stormed up to her and hit her hard across the face. SLAP! Half of Leah’s face swelled. She clutched her cheek, staring at me in horror, “You—you slap me?!” “Have you lost your mind Evelyn?!” Tristan snarled, shoving me away. “Stay away from Leah!” My eyes reddened as I glared at them, “She made things up about me and my child! She’s lucky enough I only slapped her once!” Tristan glared at me darkly, “Maybe she’s right about you being an easy woman. I saw you
