Chapter 22
Evelyn’s POV
The room has exploded into pure chaos.
I continue standing unfazed on the stage as people yell and fuss from the audience, showing their outrage. No one is sure what to do with themselves, frazzled by this news.
It’s known that the relationship between an Alpha and Luna directly affects the loyalty and stability of the pack. With my refusal of this coronation, I have made the pack begin to question everything, especially as most of them were unaware of the underlying truth.
“Who was that woman in the recording!? How could she talk of our future Luna that way!?” one man calls
out.
Another woman quickly answers and I recognize her. She’s one of the nurses from the hospital – one who thanked me endlessly for saving the little girl.
“Isn’t it obvious?” she yells angrily. “It’s obviously the Beta’s daughter, Bianca! She’s the one who has been playing the third party in the relationship!”
Off to the side of the crowd, Bianca slightly flinches as attention turns in her direction.
“T-that’s ridiculous,” she tries. “These are all clearly made up allegations by Evelyn in order to smear my name. It’s defamation!”
“But wasn’t that your voice in the recording? It clearly sounds like you!” another woman states.
“She must have used a voice changer!” Bianca claims and it takes everything in me not the laugh.
Truthfully, the recording was easy to obtain. Bianca is never careful with what brags she spews to her little minions. I had recorded her a few days after I’d moved into the pack house, believing one day it
would be useful.
It seems I was right.
“Evelyn,” a voice calls from the front of the stage, capturing my attention. There, my father stands, glowering up at me.
“Stop this at once,” he hisses at me quietly. “You’re making a scene.”
Oh, father. A scene is exactly what I’d wanted. And little did he know, he was about to become a part of it.
“Why father?” I begin. “Do you find Bianca’s behavior unbecoming? That’s odd considering you had no problem having an affair while married to my mother.”
My father’s head snaps back at my words, his eyes blowing wide.
“All while my mother was gravely ill,” I continue, tsking my tongue as I make sure I’m speaking right into the microphone. “You’d already brought in my stepmother and her two children into our pack. And then

once mother died, you didn’t waste any time making my stepmother your Luna, did you?”
I pause, pretending to think for a moment as I hum.
“Come to think of it, wasn’t that around the same time you started forcing me to take those pills? You know, the ones that are a slow-acting poison that suppressed the development of my wolf? Hindering
the Silver Wolf bloodline?”
My father is absolutely fuming now, basically turning purple as he screams up at me.
“Lies! You’ve lost your mind!” he insists, but I’m prepared for his attempts of denial.
Clicking my remote again, I project copies of my test reports – showing the effects of the drugs he gave me and then how my condition improved once I’d stopped taking them. With the proof right in his face, my father chokes on his words, left with nothing left to say.
“Everyone out!” Kane’s voice rings out as he’s suddenly next to me, taking over the microphone. “This ceremony is over. All matters brought up tonight will be addressed in private.”
It’s clear that no one is pleased by this order, but they have no choice but to accept it as it was directly given by their Alpha. Meanwhile, I am unable to simply slip from the ballroom like everyone else. Instead, Kane takes me by the hand and begins to forcibly drag me away.
“Let me go!” I try, tugging against him.
“I don’t think so,” Kane says, anger resting behind every word.
As we exit out a back door, he brings me to the door of my bedroom and pulls me inside. He then locks the door behind us, whipping right in my direction. He’s an image of pure rage as he steps right up to me.
