Evelyn’s POV“Helena!” I blurt out.The person walking into the waiting room wasn’t Asher, but a tall, beautiful woman, flanked by a group of female soldiers.Helena.I watched her approach, confusion and disbelief swirling in my mind.What was she doing here? Where was Asher? Why would Asher send h
I clenched my teeth and locked eyes with her, icy fury rising in my chest.Stay calm. Don’t let her get to you.“A waste of time? I don’t think so. You are here yourself, and that proves its value,” I shot back, calling her bluff.Her smile turned to a scowl.“You once said your board would never ap
Evelyn's POVBrother?I had to clench my fists to hold myself back from leaping out of my chair."You're Alpha Johnson’s son?" Sid asked through gritted teeth. His whole body was tensed, clearly on edge.The blonde man gave us a cold, uninterested look, as if we were nothing but some roaches, unwort
"STOP!" Helena screamed.The golden-brown giant wolf ignored the guns, snarling at Claude under the wreckage. Just as the wolf was about to bite down, I cried out, "Sid—WAIT!"I staggered to my feet, my face burning with pain, blood filling my mouth. But the physical pain didn’t matter—it was the hu
Evelyn’s POVThe next morning, I woke up early to get ready. I slipped into the white silk gown I had brought specifically for the groundbreaking ceremony. The strapless neckline showed off my collarbones, and the high-low hem—short in the front and trailing like butterfly wings in the back—added a
“Finding seats,” I said, scanning the room.The venue was filled with round tables, each marked with name cards. We needed to find us a place to sit. Standing around when the ceremony started would make us far too conspicuous.I moved cautiously, looking for an opportunity to swap out a couple of na
Evelyn's POVHe recognized me.I froze for a few seconds, then slowly turned to face him. His face darkened, coldly glaring at me without a word."So, what now?" I asked with a hint of mockery. "Are you going to tell everyone I'm here, or just have security throw me out?""Both options sound good to
"That is irrelevant. Just tell me what you think."He hesitated again, falling into silence. I scoffed, all the fleeting sympathy I’d felt evaporating."You want both of us, don’t you? Who do you think you are? The king? Or the fucking god? Stay the fuck away from me, or I’ll tell Leah that her husb
“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
