"Iris is back. She'll be moving in here immediately." Evelyn Severa is a Luna. She feels worthless when her Alpha, Callum Wolffang, enters their marital home with Iris Howley, his true love. Her wolf growls, and fury burns within her. "I thought your contributions would make him see you." Callum's mother, Kiera Beowulf, sighs helplessly. Evelyn gave up her future as a wolf doctor to marry Callum and become his Luna. At the time, he was crippled and temperamental. For the past five years, she hasn't stopped treating him and caring for him. Now, it seems everything she's done is meaningless. She held onto a sliver of hope a few months ago, but she now sees sense—she'll never be able to save a person who refuses to turn back to look at her. Their contract is up, and Callum has gotten what he wants. Evelyn turns and leaves without another look back.
View MoreEvelyn's POV:I held a white lily in my hand as I walked into the funeral parlor. I caught sight of Lupinus' snow-white hair from the corner of my eyes. He looked as though he had aged by at least ten years as compared to my memories.Meanwhile, Callum sat in a wheelchair by the side, his eyes hollow and devoid of any shine. He looked like the shell of the werewolf he once was, but no longer remained. I simply couldn't associate his current figure with the proud and confident werewolf he used to be a long time ago.I went up to Kiera's casket and stopped before her photo.She was smiling kindly in her photo, with a hint of pride and accomplishment in her eyes, as if proud of herself for successfully playing the role of a generous and compassionate person.I lingered at her photo for a while as longtime memories began to hit me. Kiera had been the one who rescued me from the orphanage but later imprisoned me in a luxurious cage and destroyed five years of my youth.The conflicted
Callum's POV:I never thought that the silver dagger we once used as a bet would reappear in my hands once again.As soon as I held it in my hand, I was instantly drawn back to a memory from many, many years ago.It was a summer afternoon when we were all standing on the deck of the yacht looking out at sea. My friends and I were very excited and thought of looking for the silver dagger that had been lost at sea, according to the legends. We had agreed that whoever's female companion was willing to jump in to search for it would automatically win the bet and the prime land in Northville we all had our eyes on.It had actually been nothing more than just a stupid bet because we were fooling around. Nobody would have thought that it was real. Even I thought that nobody would be dumb enough to jump into the sea for it.However, Evelyn hadn't hesitated for long. After confirming that the bet was real, she had then jumped into the sea without further ado.I would remember that momen
Evelyn's POV:I didn't care about Callum's response at this point. I continued, "If it weren't for your mother's repayment contract, we would never even have met. I have my own life to live."Callum just stared at me in a daze. He looked bitter as he moved his lips to say something but stopped.Instead, he just quietly watched as I got out of his car and left.Just as I was about to walk into Raoul's house, suddenly, a pair of piercing headlights shone straight in my face. I immediately shielded my eyes from the blinding light.Then, I heard the loud screeching of wheels squealing against the asphalt, followed by Callum screaming my name."Evelyn!"Lily was the one behind the accident. She was completely overwhelmed and consumed by her resentment toward me, pinning all of the blame on me for what happened to her. She had broken free from the guards' restrictions at home and taken her car out to try and kill me.Unexpectedly, Callum dashed over to me and pushed me out of harm's
Evelyn's POV:Raoul helped me pack with a sad expression on his face."You've only been back for a month. Are you really going back now?"I stuffed the last of my folded shirts into my suitcase and said, "I have to leave."I had planned on staying for a longer period of time, but Callum already knew where the medical center was where I worked. Also, he wasn't the leader of the pack anymore, which meant he would have a lot of free time on his hands. And, I simply didn't have the time or energy to continue putting up with him.I also thought that it was high time Raoul found someone to be his mate. I couldn't always stay by his side because it wouldn't be appropriate otherwise.I zipped up my suitcase and brought it over to the door. Then, Raoul suddenly asked me, "Do you still remember Iris?"Iris? I froze. It had been a long time since I heard her name being brought up.In my memories, Iris had gone back to her ex-mate's territory and remarried. However, I didn't know what happ
Callum's POV:Father sat in the center of the study, shadows masking his face.I was standing before him, feeling tense all over, still hearing Lily's anguished cries from outside the study.Father lowered his head as he flipped through some documents. His silence made me feel even more suffocated."Callum, do you know how disappointed I am in you right now?"He finally spoke in a low yet bone-chilling voice. It felt like sharp claws slicing into my dignity."Father, I…" I wanted to speak up for myself, but I realized that I simply didn't know where or how to start.Father finally looked up, his gaze as sharp as a knife. "Look at everything you've done. You couldn't even handle two women by your side! You have destroyed the reputation of the Wolffang clan. Do you even know how the Alphas from the other clans are making fun of you?"I had to admit that I never managed to fulfill my duties as the Alpha of the pack ever since Father retired. I kept losing myself over Evelyn beca
Evelyn's POV:Hearing this, Callum's hand stopped mid-air. He turned around and looked at me and Raoul with a complicated look in his eyes.I looked at the mess before me and found it quite ironic.At that moment, the guests started pointing fingers and whispering among themselves. Lily's face turned even redder as she glared at me with pure hatred. She gritted her teeth and screamed at the top of her lungs, "It's all your fault, you filthy bitch!"She was so loud that I thought my ears would shatter."If it weren't for you, Cal would have never cut off my allowances and banished me to the borders to starve!"I chuckled coldly at her words."My fault?" I asked, cocking my head to the side. My voice turned icy as I continued, "Who was the one who kept looking down on me and made fun of me in the past? And who was the one who banished you to the borders?"You've got it all mixed up. How could you even blame me for that?"I then swirled the red wine in my glass and cast her anoth
Evelyn's POV:Kiera kept giving me once-overs, looking at me with a regretful face.She was satisfied with my wolf and thought I was a good mate for Callum—alas, Callum chose Iris and missed out on me."Evelyn, Callum's completely cut all ties with Iris now. Can't you both start over?" Kiera asked, trying to convince me to stay with a gentle tone.I didn't answer her. Instead, I pulled out a bank card I'd prepared beforehand and put it on the table."This is double the amount of money that the Wolffangs have invested in me since I was a cub. Actually, if I hadn't agreed to repay you the way I did back then, this would have only taken me two years to repay in full, including all of the accumulated interests."Kiera was taken aback. Her facial expression changed slightly. She had made a name for herself by donating to charity. The Wolffangs had actually helped out many other werewolves in their time, but they had never asked for any form of repayment before.I was the only one f
Evelyn's POV:It was supposed to be a sweet, romantic moment, but things grew tense right away.The waiter was still holding the bouquet of roses in his hands, not knowing whether to proceed with handing it to me or to leave.When he saw that I continued remaining silent after a while, he eventually left without another word.However, this didn't seem to have an effect on Callum. He still kept sending a bouquet of pink roses to the medical center every day, without fail. And every time, Raoul would throw them in the trash before they even reached me.A few weeks later, Callum came looking for me again, asking me why I never accepted his roses.I stopped in my steps and gave him a cold look. This wolf used to be my mate. He was the ultimate leader of the pack, and everyone looked up to him. However, he was now acting very pitiful with me.Also, we used to be married for five years, and he still didn't know what kind of flowers were my favorite."Callum, what exactly do you thi
Evelyn's POV:A strong and powerful arm suddenly snaked around my waist, forcefully pulling me into the break room that was a tent.I didn't even manage to turn around to look when the owner of the arm pulled me into his embrace, his hand constantly groping me by my butt.That damn familiar scent invaded my senses and took control of my breathing. My wolf was getting more and more excited."Evelyn… Evelyn… You've finally come back… I've missed you…"Callum's voice was low, but the relief and excitement were prominent in his tone of voice. I never thought that the Alpha who once used to ignore me and give me the cold shoulder would get so excited and passionate with me like a golden retriever.I was just thinking about pushing him off when someone else beat me to it, tugging Callum away from me.Then, I was pulled into another embrace. This time, I could hear Raoul's concerned voice from the top of my head. "Evelyn, are you okay?"I shook my head lightly. Before I could answer h
Evelyn Severa's POV:At 6:00 pm, I served six different dinner dishes I made and placed them on the long stone table. Every single dish had been seasoned with Callum Wolffang's, my Alpha's, favorite vanilla extract.At 7:00 pm, I lit up a vanilla-scented candle that would calm his wolf in Callum's room. I made sure that the temperature of the water in the bath remained at precisely 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, the perfect temperature for werewolves to rest and relax.At 8:00 pm, I put down Callum's favorite boots and hung up his cape by the black obsidian doors.At 9:00 pm, I changed into the black lace outfit he specifically told me to wear. The doors then opened, letting in a bone-chilling blast of cold air that carried the rusty scent of blood with it.Callum, my Alpha, then stepped into the house, reeking of blood and dissatisfied bloodthirst.I went up to greet him, took his outdoor cape from him, and set it down by the fireplace to dry. Then, I asked him in a low voice, "Would ...
