Evelyn

We arrived at Mooncrest for the anniversary event. Gabriel and I had rehearsed countless times on how to compose ourselves and not let our guard down. Despite all the practice, I still felt like it wasn't enough. Gabriel was the only one who could truly understand my inner struggles. Unfortunately, Mrs. Nora couldn't attend the event. It was just me, Gabriel, Hunter, and a few selected pack members. Of course, Mason's nanny was also present to take care of him. I couldn't bear the thought of leaving my son behind. I made it clear to the nanny that she should stay close and not wander off. I, along with Gabriel and Hunter, would keep a close eye on her.

"Wow, we're finally stepping foot in the renowned Mooncrest pack," Hunter exclaimed, stretching his arms out.

Indeed, it had been a whole year since I left the pack, but the memories of that incident remained vivid in my mind, as if it had happened just yesterday. I felt Gabriel's hand touch mine, intertwining our fingers. "Reme

    Evelyn Guests had started leaving the hall as the event came to an end. We were also preparing to leave, but Hunter was nowhere to be found. "I wonder where he's gone off to," I said with irritation. Mason's nanny was already seated, holding a sleeping Mason in her arms."He'll have to face my anger if he's disappeared," Gabriel growled. As we stood there waiting for Hunter, someone approached us."Madam Evelyn, Alpha Lucian wishes to speak with you, if it's alright," the person said. Gabriel and I exchanged glances."Tell her she’ll be there," Gabriel answered on my behalf. The young man nodded and walked away. "What do you mean I'll be there? It's not part of our plan to meet him today," I protested."Whether it's today or another day, you'll eventually have to meet him. I think it's best for you to make your intentions clear from today. That way, he might reconsider whatever he's planning," Gabriel explained."Gabriel, I-""Don't worry. I know you'll handle it well. I'll head home

    Lucian"Harold!" I yelled, and Harold rushed in, looking startled. "Yes, Master?" he responded."Prepare everything you can and send it to that damn pack!" I exclaimed angrily."Master, I advise you to calm down. This might not be a good idea. We have obtained valuable information, and we should think of a peaceful way to handle this," Harold suggested cautiously.I grabbed him by the collar. "Shut up! Didn't you tell me you shot her?""Y-yes, I did. I saw her fall off the cliff, but I don't know how she survived. Can you..." Harold trailed off, his voice quivering."That's why you're always so stupid. Get all the gifts you can and send them to her pack!" I ordered, my frustration mounting."Please, Lucian, calm down!" Harold pleaded, freezing in fear."Did you just raise your voice on me?" I asked, my anger boiling over."No, Master. I would never dare. But you need to calm down. We should find out how she survived and who is supporting her. Should I get you a drink?" Harold suggest

    Evelyn"A month? Why would you agree to that? He's clearly trying to manipulate you," Gabriel exclaimed, pacing around the room. He had arrived hours after Lucian left, and when I told him about the deal I made with Lucian, he got angry.Now he's ranting at me, questioning why I agreed to Lucian's deal. "Rejecting it would make him think I'm afraid of him. I'm not," I argued."You are, Evelyn. I know that better than anyone," he replied. I narrowed my eyes at him. "What are you implying? That I'm a weak woman?""No, that's not—""That's what you're trying to say. Why can't you trust me for once? I don't want us to argue because of Lucian. I expected your support, not your anger," I said, running my hands through my hair. I don’t want any misunderstandings to come between Gabriel and me because of Lucian's issue. I took a deep breath. "We have enough forces, Gabriel. It's not like we can't handle it.""Not this way, Evelyn. We might have gathered some connections, but we need their str

    EvelynI took a deep breath before pushing the door open and stepped into the familiar living room. The house held so many memories of my childhood and growing up. Our eyes met, and she choked out my name. Tears welled up in my eyes upon seeing her. I slowly approached her. "Mother."She pulled me into a tight hug, and I wasted no time in returning it. "I'm sorry, Evelyn. I shouldn't have let you go. I'm so sorry. I failed as a mom," she confessed. I pulled away gently, holding her hand."No, Mother. Don't blame yourself. It's not your fault. Please stop crying," I pleaded. She shook her head. "No, Evelyn. I'm even ashamed to look at you. If I hadn't sent you to Lucian, none of this..." Her words trailed off as she choked on her tears. I embraced her again as we both cried.After a while, we composed ourselves and sat side by side. I sipped my coffee as I told her everything about surviving Lucian's attack. "I'm sorry you had to go through that trauma, Evelyn," she said, reaching for

    Lucian"Let me know when you get any news. Thank you," I ended the call and threw the phone. I had instructed my private investigator to research Evelyn's factory contractors. The door burst open, revealing a nervous Harold. "Master!" he exclaimed, panting."What is it? Why do you always come in unannounced? I gave you a task to do," I snapped."This is much more than a task, Master. Evelyn is here," he said, his voice trembling. "What!" I jolted up. "What is she doing here?""I don't have all the details yet, but I saw her entering your mother's part of the house," Harold replied. I clenched my fist. What is she playing at? I grabbed my phone, slipped it into my pocket, and headed out.As I pushed open the door to my mother's living room, I was met with the sight of Evelyn and my mother laughing. "What is going on here?" I demanded, getting their attention."Lucian, you're here," my mother greeted, while Evelyn wore a smile. One that infuriated me."Why are you here?" I directed my

    Evelyn “Can you leave us? The introduction is enough,” Lucian uttered as I was introducing myself to his guest. “Calm down, Mr. Lucian. I’m not planning to snatch your guest. Go on, sir,” I replied with a smile before standing up. I could swear I saw him clench his fist. I enjoyed seeing him pissed off. I wasn’t trying to snatch his guest away. Okay, let me tell you how I happened to be at the pack hall.I came out for a stroll, which is my daily routine at the house. I take a morning stroll every day. That’s when I saw the man asking me where Lucian’s office was located. So, I took him to the pack hall since I knew that’s where meetings and such take place. And then, when I was about to leave, the man asked me if I was the lady from the Daekin pack mentioned at the Lucian pack anniversary. That was it, and yet Lucian was getting angry over nothing. He should just say he's nervous about my stay at his pack. It's as simple as that. As I entered Lucian’s mother’s living room, I saw h

    Evelyn"Sorry for the long talk. Let's continue eating," she ushered, reaching for the fork. I placed my hand atop hers, stopping her in her tracks. "I know you're not fine, Ma'am," I said."I'm fine." The way her body reacted told me otherwise. No one could convince me otherwise. "It's okay to let your emotions out." She fell silent, her hand unmoving, and her head hung low.Until I heard her sniff. The scene didn't sit well with me. No matter how much of a player or arrogant person you are, your mother is supposed to be your number one safe haven. I understood the pain because I had experienced it myself, carrying Mason in my womb for nine months. I knew how it felt to shed tears of pain. And now, Lucian was inflicting it on his mother without any remorse. My hatred towards him grew stronger."I thought I was doing the right thing when I gave him everything he wanted and allowed him to do whatever he wanted," she uttered, lifting her head up. I didn't try to hide my sadness over the

    EvelynI might not get the desired result, but I was satisfied with the expression on Lucian's face. He thought I was the same Evelyn he could control however he wanted. Although I was burning with rage inside, I knew I had to tread carefully. If I wanted my plans to go smoothly, I had to take things one step at a time.I sauntered straight to my room. Mason was still fast asleep. I hopped on the bed and hugged him to my body. The earlier event flashed before me. He hadn't seen anything yet. I would make sure I became his nightmare. He would succumb to me. He would beg me for mercy.I didn't care about anything else but my revenge. I had a month to accomplish my task. My eyes traveled to the sleeping Mason. I found my vision turning blurry. Mason might be the connection between Lucian and me, but I would never allow him to take my son away from me. He would never find out Mason is his son. I wiped off the tears before they could find their way out."Mommy will protect you at all costs

    Evelyn Two months later Two months have passed since the turbulent events that brought both Gabriel and Lucian together as co-alphas. It's been a time of adjustment and change for our pack, and for my family as well. Lucian and Gabriel, against all odds, had found a way to work together as leaders. It wasn't always smooth sailing, and they still had their moments of disagreement, but they managed to keep the peace. As for Mason, he continued to grow and flourish. Both Lucian and Gabriel shared responsibilities in his upbringing, and it warmed my heart to see the bond forming between them and my son. The unity in the pack grew stronger too. The members had initially been skeptical of the co-alpha arrangement, but seeing the two powerful leaders working together for the greater good had won their respect and loyalty.Despite the challenges and interruptions in our personal life, Lucian and I had also thrived as a couple. Our mating bond had deepened, making our connection stronger

    Lucian The room's tension was palpable as Alpha Drake and Alpha Dominic locked their eyes on Gabriel and me. It was clear they hadn't anticipated such a smooth resolution. Gabriel spoke up, breaking the silence, and leaned forward."Alpha Drake, I'm sure you understand the consequences of breaching a contract," Gabriel said firmly. "You already agreed to do business with us. You can't back out just because you've received a better offer. That's not how business works."I nodded in agreement, backing Gabriel's words. "It's important to honor your commitments. We all need to uphold our end of the deal."Alpha Drake and Alpha Dominic exchanged glances, seemingly caught off guard by our united stance.Alpha Drake sighed, clearly frustrated by the turn of events. "Well, this wasn't what we expected. We'll have to consider our options and figure out a solution. But for now, it seems like you both have made up your minds."We could sense the tension in the room easing a bit as Alpha Drake s

    Evelyn The room felt heavy with tension as Gabriel and Lucian decided on the Alpha competition, with Mrs. Victoria's agreement. My heart couldn't help but race, and a sense of unease settled within me. The outcome of this competition was a matter of immense concern.Mrs. Victoria took a deep breath and spoke up, her voice trembling slightly. "I just hope that this competition doesn't lead to violence. Our pack's safety should come first, and I don't want anyone to get hurt."Both Gabriel and Lucian acknowledged her worry, and I couldn't shake the feeling of unease that hung in the air. The fate of our pack and the relationships between the brothers were at a crossroads, and it was hard to predict the outcome.I knew there were challenging times ahead for Mooncrest, and I could only hope that the competition would be resolved peacefully, without harm to our pack members. The nerves wouldn't leave me, though, and I could only wait and see what the future held for us.**As the time of

    Lucian I paced around the room as the revelation sank in. If I said I wasn't shocked by the news, I'd be lying. I had never imagined something like this would happen. I turned to my mother, who was seated with her hands rested on her lap, with Evelyn by her side."Why, mother? Why did you have to hide such a truth from me? Why now?" I lamented.My mother's voice quivered as she looked at me with remorse in her eyes. "I'm sorry, Lucian. I never anticipated that keeping this truth hidden would lead to such a predicament for our family."I ran my hand through my hair, the weight of the situation pressing down on me. "Even if Gabriel is my brother, he has no right to the Alpha position. Not after everything I've done for this pack. It's not going to happen.""Have a seat." She said. I didn't make a move and also my eyes didn't waver on hers. I took a deep breath and turned my emotions still raw. "Mother, I don't want to hear what you or Gabriel has to say.

Together, we hurried out of the room and made our way to Mrs. Victoria's.“What happened mother?” Lucian asked the moment we stepped inside.Mrs. Victoria's frail voice quivered as she spoke, "I... I couldn't breathe, Lucian. Something was crushing my chest." She coughed weakly, struggling to catch her breath.Lucian knelt beside the bed, holding her hand gently. "We'll get you the help you need, mother. Just hang in there."I stood by their side, my heart aching for Mrs. Victoria, feeling helpless in the face of her distress.Lucian swiftly pressed a button on his phone and called for medical assistance, and within minutes, the pack's doctor arrived to tend to his ailing mother.My heart pounded as I watched the doctor examine Mrs. Victoria. Lucian's concern mirrored the fear I felt deep down."What is wrong with her, doctor?" Luci

    Evelyn My mind was somehow at ease after finally telling the truth about Mason being his son. It felt as if a weight had been lifted from my shoulders. Since then, he wouldn't let Mason out of his sight.At some point, I felt like he doesn’t even have time for me. Whenever he came to his mother's side, his first statement was about Mason. We were still facing problems from other packs, although Lucian had taken care of the smaller packs. However, Alpha Drake and Alpha Dominic still remained threats to us.As for the Deakin pack, we had them under control. Mrs. Nora had already explained to them, and I had also played my part. I had apologized for the problem the news had caused. A knock sounded from the door followed by Lucian's voice. "Evelyn, are you there?" I had intentionally locked the door, knowing he would want to enter. I wanted to see how he would take Mason away."Yes. But I don't want to open the door. I know you're here for Mason, not me," I retorted with a glare, as if

Prepare our men for the fight!"I grabbed my phone and started to move towards the door. "Where to, Master?" Harold inquired."I have to make sure Evelyn and Mother are safe. Do as I say. I will check up on them."As I rushed out of the room, I couldn’t shake off the worry for Evelyn and my mother. The unity of Alpha Drake and Alpha Dominic was a serious threat, and the safety of our pack members was my top priority.I contacted our head of security and updated him on the situation. “Gather all available forces and secure the packhouse,” I instructed him. “Make sure our people are protected.”With my heart pounding and my mind racing, I hurried towards mother’s part, praying that Evelyn and my mother were safe. The future of our pack depended on our ability to defend it.As I entered the house,

I composed myself quickly, realizing her serious expression. She was holding Mason in her arms.“Mother,” I greeted, attempting to maintain a straight face.She didn’t hold back. “I see you two no longer stay in the pack. Care to tell me what you’ve been up to, Lucian? And you, Evelyn, looks like you don’t care about Mason anymore.
