I couldn’t believe it, "Nothing has even been proven yet! How did the words get out—"My words were drowned out by a sudden wave of curses."WHORE! Cheating whore!!""Bitch! How dare you cheat on our Alpha! GO TO HELL!!"The crowd lining by the streets shouted.People spat at me, gave me the finger,
Evelyn's POVI straightened my back, lifted my head, and strode into the courthouse.All the elders were already seated. Tristan sat on his throne, his face dark, while Leah stood beside him, a smug grin on her face.“We heard the commotion outside, Evelyn. As an adulteress, you sure had a lot of ne
“And Roman is only eight years old… How could she be so cruel to a child?” Leah sobbed into his chest.“So cruel!” an elder shouted in rage. “Maybe the accusations Roman made against you before were true! Perhaps you really did abuse him!”They all ganged up together and glared at me, like I was the
Evelyn’s POVI could hardly believe my eyes. The only thing that could prove my innocence had turned to ashes right in front of me! I quickly looked up at the soldier—did he do it on purpose? Or was it an accident? And just as I looked up, I caught the soldier nodding slightly toward Leah.So, he
Evelyn's POVLeah was breathing heavily, looking like she was about to have a panic attack.“I gave Roman the antidote because… because…” She hesitated for a while before squeezing out a few words through her clenched teeth, “To prevent potential danger!”“What potential danger?” Tristan repeated, f
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
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 t
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 t
“I still think this is a horrible idea,” Dorian groaned as we got ready. “If people find out that the Alpha’s sister and the future Luna are involved in a crime like this…”“They will praise us for taking out the bad guy of the city,” I said as I cocked the gun and tested the sight. “Where’s Asher b
Evelyn’s POV“Weakness?” Dorian looked a little wary. “Why do you want to know that?”“Holland’s been causing me trouble, and I need to teach him a lesson. Are you going to help me or are you going to side with the elders?”Dorian hesitated, not answering right away. Haley nudged him hard on the sho
I was still debating with those 2 options when a car pulled into the garden and slowly drove up to me.It stopped in front of me, and when the window rolled down, I recognized a face I really didn’t expect to see here.“Well, well, well, check it out. Who is soaking like a drowned rat? The future Lu
Evelyn’s POVMaria gave me the address and left. A couple minutes later, Asher finished his visit at the cemetery and came down, so I told him all about my little chat with her.His face darkened almost immediately, “Maria overstepped. She’s just an elder. She’s not allowed to assign you tasks. I’ll
We stopped in front of two black headstones. The engraving read: Here lie Jane and Soth Montrose. Your courage and loyalty will never be forgotten.Asher stared at the gravestones for a long moment, then gently brushed the dust off them.“They were my parents’ guards,” he said quietly. “When I was j
Evelyn’s POVThe council chamber was dead silent. I knew the elders didn’t want to accept me as their Luna, but after Asher just demoted a senior member to omega, they also knew anyone who angered him wouldn’t have a good ending.“So? Cat got your tongue?” Asher pressed, his voice cold and sharp.Th
“Not at all. It just proves she’s a failure,” Dorian said flatly.“Exactly. And I’ve heard the stories—you throw your soldiers into danger without a plan, then replace the dead with fresh recruits. You traded their lives for that badge. How dare you even call it yours?!”Helena’s makeup ran in strea
Evelyn’s POV“…It was a close vote,” Holland said nervously. “But in the end, the council decided to let General Helena stay as a member of Storm Fang Pack.”He couldn’t even look Asher in the eye while saying it. The whole room was tense, with everyone avoiding Asher’s glare.How pathetic. I though
Helena shot her a disdainful look, “Bullshit. You’re just jealous of me, like Evelyn. You can’t stand that a woman like me has earned this level of respect, so the first chance you get, you try to drag me down. Pathetic bitches.”The female elder’s face turned red with anger. “Oh, so any criticism f
