Evelyn’s POVWhen Asher strode into the council room, the tension in the air became almost suffocating. One elder, clearly flustered, stammered, “Alpha Asher, y-you’re back? We thought you were still busy with matters in Blazewood Pack…”Asher’s voice was cold and sharp. “You didn’t want me back, di
I turned to see Helena standing, her expression fierce and self-righteous. To anyone who didn’t know her, she looked like a paragon of justice.Yet to me, she was nothing but a fraud.“You’re bac news, Evelyn. A real danger!” Helena said, glaring at me. “Banning you is the right decision.”“Danger?
Evelyn’s POV“…Asher’s this close to figuring out we started that fire! Do you know how much risk I was taking?”Helena’s voice echoed through the council hall, freezing everyone in place. Faces went pale as shock swept through the room.My eyes scanned the stunned crowd, finally settling on Helena.
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
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
“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 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
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
But with Selene, there’s nothing. She didn’t feel a damn thing.“Wait. What’s going on?” Cyrus asked with a raised brow. “I don’t understand. Was the rejection successful or not?”I stood up so quickly that my chair screeched. “No. There’s no need for a fucking rejection. Because they aren’t mates i
Evelyn’s POVMy heart nearly stopped when I received a mindlink from Evangeline.“Mommy come and get us in the forest. We caught a bad guy!”I almost jumped out of my chair. What bad guy?My adrenaline flooding my veins as Cyrus and I sprinted toward the forest. We bumped into Asher and my mother on
Selene’s POVEverything was falling apart. Worse than I ever imagined.Asher was going to reject me. Which could only mean that damn drug had completely stopped working.The moment he went chasing after that bitch Evelyn, I slipped away too. Because I knew, the second he came back, the first thing h
“I don’t care if you two reject each other, get divorced, or stay madly in love forever. But leave me the hell out of it!” I shouted, glaring at Asher. “Whatever you decide, don’t involve me in your screwed-up marriage again!”And with that, I shoved through the crowd and stormed out.The second I w
Evelyn’s POV“What exactly did she do?” Asher asked, his voice low and sharp.I let out a cold laugh. “First of all, she accused one of my people of theft. Sure, we rogues don’t have mountains of gold like Storm Fang Pack, but every person here has pride and dignity.”From behind Asher, Selene’s shr

Selene’s POV“What?! You’re telling me the Alpha left? With Lady Eva?”I shot up from my seat, eyes blazing at the servant who brought me this horrific news. I was one second away from clawing his throat out.“Y-Yes, Luna… that’s what I was told…”“Why? WHY?! I’m his Luna! No matter where he goes, I
“Alpha Asher!” I hissed. “My son is right here. What the hell is wrong with you?!”“Sorry,” he chuckled. But clearly he didn’t mean it one bit.Thankfully, Lucian stirred awake just then, rubbing his eyes—and saving me from further humiliation.Not long after, the plane landed in the valley.Asher c
Evelyn’s POVI didn’t sleep a wink that night.At the crack of dawn, I was already at the airport, waiting for Asher. When he finally showed up, the plane was about to take off—and he was holding Lucian in his arms.I immediately rushed over and called my son’s name. Lucian squirmed out of Asher’s g
