I ignored her.Selene had a habit of twisting the truth to make herself look like the victim. I’d caught her doing it more than once—begging me to punish someone, only to later find out she was the real bully.“Where did the horse come from?” I asked Buster.He flinched and refused to meet my eyes.
Asher’s POVI didn’t come to Blazewood Pack for a vacation with Selene—I had business to take care of.Several packs, including mine, had recently discovered a rare metal deposit, but the problem was that there was no viable way to transport the shipment to Storm Fang Pack without passing through ro
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.“
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
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
“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 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
“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
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
Evelyn’s POVEver since I got back to the Valley, I’ve done everything I can to avoid Asher. I even moved Lucian and Evangelina to the other end of the valley—just to steer clear of that infuriating man.Evangelina was pissed about our little adventure outside the valley. She saw it as the ultimate
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
