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
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
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 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
When I told him about finding our father, his whole face twisted with rage.“He’s—he’s alive?!” Eason roared.“He was,” I said coldly. “He died in the explosion.”I killed that monster with my own hands. Finally avenging the two abandoned children we used to be.“But now you understand, don’t you?”
Evelyn’s POV“…Eason?” I muttered in disbelief. “What are you doing here?”Out here in the middle of nowhere, I thought I was as good as dead. But someone actually came for me. And not just anyone—my brother.His expression twisted with anger, like my question personally offended him. “You’d be dead
Evelyn’s POVAs soon as I made up my mind to go back, I didn’t want to waste another second. Asher was still out there, alone and surrounded by enemies. I couldn’t rest until I found him.Cyrus worked fast. Overnight, he got everything ready—transportation, supplies, and a route that would take us t
He reached out, twirling a strand of my hair around his fingers. His beautiful gray eyes glimmered with something playful. “So, what do you say? I like you. I have a thing for women who drive Alphas crazy.”I rolled my eyes and tugged my hair free from his grip. “Not funny.”His smirk faltered. “I c
Evelyn’s POVI… I’m pregnant?I stood frozen, staring blankly as my hand slowly pressed against my stomach. My mind was a crazy mess.Asher and I had many sex, but we never used protection. I never really thought I’d get pregnant. Maybe it was because our mate bond wasn’t normal. Some part of me ass
A frustrated growl ripped from my throat. “Then what do you suggest?”“You still got Carnival City. Go back and focus on your work. Get yourself more leverage before returning to the table. Or just return to Emerald Howl Pack. Storm Fang Pack is a mess, and honestly? It’s out of your league.”He wan
Evelyn’s POVCyrus let out a dry laugh. “This woman is something else. Honestly, she might be even more dangerous than Leah.”I clenched my fists, staring at the TV as the interview continued.“Luna Selene, where is Alpha Asher now? Can you tell us about his condition?” a reporter asked.Luna.What
His smirk remained, but his eyes were like ice.“And you, Leah,” he continued, his voice quiet but sharp, “I don’t recall ever allowing you anywhere near this room. You disobeyed my orders.”Leah flinched under his stare, her lips trembling. “Why shouldn’t I be here? I’m your mate! Is this how you t
Evelyn’s POVPain.It hurt so much I felt like I was splitting apart. I couldn’t control my body, like I was sinking deeper into a pool of thick mud.‘Wake up, girl.’ Elin’s voice echoed in my mind, firm and urgent. ‘Now’s not the time to sleep. We still have things to do.’Right. We had things to d
