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
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
“I will,” I bit out. Because Lucian was still with him—and I had no choice.“I’ll be waiting for your answer. You have until tomorrow.”He finally stepped aside, giving me space to leave. But his eyes never left me—not even for a second. They followed me all the way out like a hunter tracking his pr
Evelyn’s POVMy entire body froze.I didn’t see it coming—not at all. I had no time to dodge, no time to hide my face. In that instant, everything just… stopped. He was staring at me, wide-eyed, locked in place.And I had absolutely no idea how to explain this.How do you explain that someone who’s
“Lady Eva,” he stood as I reached him, a cold smile on his lips. “Finally.”I shook his hand.The moment our fingers touched, a jolt shot through me.Just like the first time we met.But that was a lifetime ago. Too much had happened since then. There was no going back.“Alpha Asher,” I said, trying
Evelyn’s POVMy brain stopped working. I couldn’t move.Because Asher was standing just a few steps away… staring straight at me.He hadn’t changed much. Still looked like a damn god—tall, powerful, drop-dead gorgeous. But the softness was gone. That warmth he used to carry in his eyes, the way he u
The kid stuck out his tongue at her. “Yeah? Well, at least I almost got you. I saw it in the scope. You’re slow and clumsy as hell—if he hadn’t pulled you down, you’d be toast.”“You filthy little rat,” Selene cursed and turned to me, her face twisted with anger. “Honey, I know you’re trying to figu
Asher’s POVFor a three or four-year-old kid, he was surprisingly fast—and I was even more shocked to realize… he already had a wolf. At that age? Was that even possible?Still, experience matters. He was reckless, no real strategy. It didn’t take much for me to catch him before he could get away.“
