“Why? What is wrong with it?” Evelyn asked with a puzzled expression.Alpha Grayson muttered a curse under his breath and stormed out of the square in anger.“Hyacinth and Peony are flowers Grayson hates the most in his life. How could you not ask before you used it?” Diana said, shaking her head.“What? Lisa asked me to use these flowers, she said Grayson loved them,” Evelyn said, in bewilderment.“Lisa told you that?” Beta Luke asked in surprise.“I swear on my dead parents' grave,” Evelyn said.“Stop lying! Lisa would never tell you that. She knows Grayson hates these flowers because their scents remind him of our mother. Hyacinth and Peony is our mother's scent,” Diana bitterly expressed.“Oh, Lisa is here. You can ask her,” Evelyn said as she saw Lisa entering the square.“What's happening? Is everything alright?” Lisa asked.“Lisa, why did you tell me to use Hyacinth and Peony when you knew Grayson hated those flowers?” Evelyn asked Lisa.“What? I never asked you to use these fl
Alpha Grayson gently released Evelyn from his arms, the pack members who were around them whispered amongst themselves, awestruck by the scene unfolding before them. "Thank you, Alpha Grayson," Evelyn murmured, feeling her cheeks burn in embarrassment.“Where were you rushing off to? Trying to avoid me?” Alpha Grayson whispered in Evelyn's ear.“No, I was not, I just wanted to…erm..to…” Evelyn stuttered.“You wanted to do what?” Grayson asked.“The pack members are watching us,” Evelyn said.“Walk with me,” Grayson said, clearing his throat.Evelyn rolled her eyes, dragging her feet to follow Alpha Grayson as he started walking.“I am sorry about what happened the other time. I didn't know what those flowers meant to you,” Evelyn apologized.“I should be the one apologizing,” Grayson said.“Why?” Evelyn asked, taken aback by Grayson's words.“You are new in the pack, you don't know what I like and dislike. I shouldn't have reacted that way,” Grayson said.“No, I understand. It must h
Evelyn entered the house and was surprised to see the whole house disorganized. “Lisa,” She called out, a little bit scared. She gently tried to find her way around the broken objects on the floor. She was mindful of her steps as she walked towards the room to check on Lisa. Suddenly, Lisa appeared before her in a disheveled state, her clothes torn and her hair untidy. She launched an attack on Evelyn with her claws, scratching and drawing out blood from her arm. “Ouch,” Evelyn cried out in pain and quickly backed away from Lisa. “What was that for, Lisa?” Evelyn asked, in shock. "Grayson is mine, Grayson is mine," Lisa whispered under her breath as she advanced menacingly towards Evelyn, aiming to strike her across the face. Evelyn dodged the attack, sending Lisa flying in the air and landing on the floor with a thud. “My goodness, Lisa, do not injure yourself. Think about your pup, What is happening to you?” Evelyn cried out. Lisa stood up letting out a maliciou
Evelyn slowly parted her eyelids as the dawn's light illuminated her face.She had spent the night at the square after she had run away from Lisa.Her mind flashed back to the events of the previous day, Grayson's warning and Lisa's attack on her.She sat up and noticed her cloth was rumpled. She needed to take a warm bath and change her clothes before the start of activities for the day. She could not afford the pack members to see her in a disheveled state.However, she was at a total loss on what to do, she could not go back to Lisa's house to change her clothes and she had no other place to go to.“Should I go to Grayson?” She thought in her heart.“You might run into Diana and you would not want to start explaining what had happened, she will not believe you,” Viola chipped in.“What should I do? It is a big day, I cannot appear like this before the pack members,” Evelyn sadly said.“Stand up,” Viola said.“Why?” Evelyn asked.“Just do as I say,” Viola insisted.“Alright,” Evely
Evelyn walked gracefully to the stage to give an opening speech, all eyes were on her as she looked stunning in the dress Tara had given her.Alpha Grayson shifted uneasily in his seat, his eyes were filled with lustrous desires as he stared at Evelyn who was walking to the stage.The way she swayed her hips sent signals to his brain and formed imaginations in his mind.“Good morning, dear wonderful members of Silvermoon Pack,” Evelyn greeted, flashing a bright smile at the pack members.“Blessed morning to you too,” The pack members chorused with applause.“I would like to thank Alpha Grayson and Beta Luke for the opportunity given to me to plan the activities for the new moon festival this year. I would also like to thank you all, for the support and love shown to a stranger like me, and for accepting me into the pack. Thank you all. Without further ado, we will start the celebration now,” Evelyn said.“Ahoooo,” The pack members howled in excitement, clapping their hands.“We will b
The pack members swiftly gathered around Lisa, who lay on the floor writhing in pain.“My stomach, my stomach,” Lisa cried out dramatically, putting on a show.Diana, Beta Luke, and Alpha Grayson hurried down to her side.“What happened?” Diana asked.“I was trying to apologize to Evelyn about what happened yesterday and she pushed me,” Lisa claimed, feigning innocence.“What? I didn't push you, Lisa, you threw yourself down” Evelyn cried out in dismay."How could I throw myself down when I know I'm with a child? It doesn't make sense. Yesterday, you threatened that I would never bear Alpha Grayson's pup and that you would make me regret getting pregnant for your mate. You left the house in a fit of anger after causing havoc everywhere. I came to apologize and clarify things, but you pushed me," Lisa explained, her hand gripping her stomach tightly as more blood seeped out.The pack members shared glances with one another, taken aback by Lisa's revelation about being pregnant with Gra
“Why are you locking her up?” Kyle protested as Beta Luke led Evelyn away.“Can't you see I am doing that to protect her until I get to the bottom of this? Do you want the wolves to lynch her, can't you see how agitated they are?” Grayson retorted sharply.“The party is over, return to your houses. Beta Luke and I will investigate this matter and decide on what to do,” Alpha Grayson said, addressing the pack members.The wolves let out a sad howl, expressing their discontent with the way the festival celebration had ended.One by one, they began to depart from the square, whispering amongst themselves about how Alpha Grayson must be truly cursed for all these events to be befalling him.“Take Lisa away. Give her all the necessary medications to ensure she is okay,” Grayson said to Diana and left the square for the cell. He met Beta Luke on the way.“I have locked her up,” Beta Luke informed.“Yes, show me to her cell,” Grayson commanded.“This way,” Beta Luke said.“Did you believe sh
Grayson stormed out of the cell and communicated with Diana through the mind link as he made his way out.“Where are you?” He asked."I am at home. Why do you ask?" Diana responded."Is Lisa with you?" Grayson inquired.“No, she is in her house,” Diana replied."Did you leave a sick person alone in her house all by herself?" Grayson asked, his tone filled with suspicion.“She insisted that she would like to go to her house. She said she doesn't want to go to the hospital or come to my house so I took her home and gave her some drugs that will help with the pain and make her sleep,” Diana explained.“And you left her alone,” Grayson queried.“I came home to get some food and clothes. I will go back to her house to be with her shortly. What's with all these questions, Grayson?” Diana inquired, sounding infuriated.“Nothing, just checking up on Lisa,” Grayson said.“Since when did you care?” Diana said.Grayson disconnected the mind link, ignoring Diana's last statement, and made his way
Evelyn turned quickly, her heart racing, a flush crept onto her cheeks as she began to make her way toward the edge of the field.Grayson’s eyes followed her retreating figure, a mixture of frustration and something else he couldn’t quite place, stirring in his chest. He clenched his fists, trying to shake off the remnants of their closeness. This was not the time or place for these emotions, not when they were in the middle of preparing for a dangerous mission.Beta Luke caught Grayson’s gaze and gave him a subtle, knowing look, but he didn’t comment on what he’d walked in on. Grayson couldn’t help but feel a twinge of embarrassment—he knew that the chemistry between him and Evelyn wasn’t exactly subtle. But he wasn’t ready to deal with that now. Grayson cleared his throat, pushing the distracting thoughts aside. He quickly turned to the men, who were whispering among themselves about what they had seen.“Let me have your attention,”Grayson said, his voice loud and clear.“The mi
The next morning, the sun had barely risen when Evelyn made her way to the training grounds. She had been up early, her thoughts racing with everything that had happened between her and Grayson. The way his eyes had lingered on her the day before... the chemistry that had simmered between them.She knew it was there. She could feel it in every word they exchanged, every glance they shared. And as much as she tried to convince herself it was all just playful flirting, deep down, she knew something deeper was brewing between them.As she approached the training grounds, she saw Grayson already there, his stance commanding, his figure strong and authoritative. His eyes met hers as she walked towards him, and for a moment, there was nothing but a silent understanding between them."You're early," Grayson said, his voice calm but still carrying that underlying edge.Evelyn smiled. "I thought I might get a head start," she replied playfully, her eyes scanning the space around them. It was
"What are you doing here?" Evelyn sneered, her tone dripping with disdain."Huh, I see you've got some wings now," Lisa retorted, her eyes cold and her body stiff with resentment.A heavy tension hung in the air between them, thick with unspoken animosity."I live here now," Evelyn declared proudly."What? That's not possible," Lisa snapped, her breath trembling as she gritted her teeth in jealousy.Evelyn let out a soft chuckle, "Grayson offered me the cabin at the back of the house. You can ask Diana if you don't believe me."Lisa’s expression darkened, and she took a step closer, her voice low and dangerous. "You think Grayson will really fall for you? You think you can just waltz in and take everything that belongs to me? He’ll never choose you. He will just sleep with you and toss you away like he did to the rest of us,” Lisa said.Evelyn held her ground, her chin raised slightly as she looked Lisa in the eye. "I am not taking anything from you, Lisa. Grayson is mine, he is dest
"Are you coming?" Grayson called out to Evelyn as he reached the door and noticed she wasn't following him."I am," Evelyn replied, giggling softly.They walked back to Grayson's house in silence. Each step was filled with unspoken words, their minds occupied with thoughts and emotions they couldn't yet express.“Why are we going to your house?" Evelyn asked, finally breaking the silence."Don't you need a place to stay?" Grayson replied."Do you have a room for me in your house?" Evelyn asked, a hint of curiosity in her voice."There is a small cabin at the back of the house, you can stay there, if you want," Grayson answered calmly."What about your sister? Will she be okay with it?" Evelyn pressed."Let me worry about my sister," Grayson firmly replied.They arrived at Grayson's house, and he led Evelyn to the back, where a cozy cabin stood, adjacent to the gym area.Evelyn stepped into the cabin, her eyes scanning the cozy space. Though small, it had everything she needed—a well-d
The elders left the room one by one as the hearing ended, their footsteps echoing down the hall as they dispersed."Are you alright?" Beta Luke asked, noticing Evelyn staring blankly, lost in her thoughts."I'll be fine," Evelyn replied softly.Don't think too much about the punishment, It’s nothing too serious. Our pack members rarely allow outsiders to care for their elderly or sick. The work you'll be doing mostly involves keeping the pack grounds clean, which isn’t even a heavy task—the servants handle most of it. So don’t let it weigh on you," Beta Luke said with a gentle tone, trying to lift her spirits."Thank you, Beta," Evelyn said, offering a small but genuine smile.Beta Luke gave her a nod before quietly departing, leaving Evelyn and Grayson alone in the room.Evelyn stood and walked to the window, her posture slumped, her eyes downcast as she stared outside into the open space, taking in fresh air.Grayson also got up from his seat and stood a few paces away from Evelyn,
FLASHBACK TO THE STEPS LISA TOOK TO MAKE HER PLAN WORK.“Where can we get blood from?” Lisa said to Missy as they got home.“Can’t you draw from yourself?” Missy replied."It won't be enough to fake a miscarriage. I need a large quantity so that it will be more convincing," Lisa said."Hmm, where can we get blood?" Missy wondered, her eyes suddenly drifting toward the cat.“What about her?” Missy said, referring to Lisa's cat."Hell no, that's my pet," Lisa snapped.“"Think about the bigger picture, Lisa. She's worth the sacrifice," Missy urged, trying to convince her."No, not her. She's like family," Lisa protested."Then where are we supposed to get that much blood? Should we go hunting?" Missy asked."Let's give that a try," Lisa agreed.Lisa stepped out of the house, the chill of the night air biting her skin. The moon hung high, casting pale beams through the thick canopy of trees as she ventured into the woods.She scoured the underbrush, eyes darting for any sign of movement—a
“I will do no such thing,” Lisa protested, her eyes flickering around the room, avoiding direct contact with anyone as if searching for an escape. Her breath became shallow, quickening as the weight of the situation pressed down on her.“Why not? Are you hiding anything?” Grayson probed.“I am not hiding anything,” Lisa retorted sharply.“If you are not hiding anything, then change into your wolf form and let's see if these furs that were picked on the road belong to you or not,” Grayson said.“Are you sure of what you saw, young man?” Robert probed.“I swear on my life. I would not dare to lie before the Alpha and the council of elders,” Tom said.“Evelyn kindly shift into your wolf form” Robert commanded.Evelyn closed her eyes as she took a deep breath allowing Viola to take over.Her human form disappeared, replaced by a majestic wolf standing tall and strong.The wolf's coat was a soft, creamy hue, almost glowing with an ethereal beauty.Grayson’s eyes locked onto Evelyn’s wolf,
"That is why I said 'suspect,' Alpha Grayson. I haven't called her a criminal yet. Her ability to defend herself will prove whether she's innocent or not," Robert retorted sharply."Her innocence should not even be in question at this hearing. The trial should focus on whether she pushed Lisa or not. How did she become a suspect in a murder case that occurred while she was locked away in a cell?" Grayson said."Why are you speaking on her behalf, Alpha Grayson? Let her defend herself," James said.“I was not talking to you, James. I have the authority to speak on behalf of anyone I choose to. And as your Alpha, I command you to never speak out of turn during this hearing. You will only speak when you are asked to," Grayson declared authoritatively.The elders gasped in shock, their eyes widening and mouths slightly agape, exchanging uneasy glances.The air grew heavy with tension, their disbelief palpable as they processed the harsh reprimand directed at one of their own. A few clutch
“What do they want this time?” Grayson muttered, a hint of disdain in his voice.“Lisa and Evelyn have been summoned as well,” Declan added.“Is the hearing now?” Grayson asked.“Yes, my Lord, it is,” Declan said.“Alright, you can go. We will join the elders shortly,” Grayson said, dismissing Declan with a wave of hand.“They must have heard about Clara's death, I think that's why they are summoning us,” Beta Luke said.“Clara? Who is that?” Diana inquired, raising her eyebrows.“The servant who claimed to have witnessed what happened between Lisa and Evelyn,” Beta Luke clarified.“Oh my goodness! She’s dead? How?” Diana gasped, covering her mouth in shock.Grayson rose to his feet with a steady, purposeful motion, his movements carrying a quiet intensity. His posture straightened, and his shoulders squared as he turned toward the door.“Are you leaving now?” Beta Luke asked.“Yes, let's get this done once and for all,” Grayson replied with a shrug.“Alright, I will go with you,” Bet
