Chapter 7
Evelyn’s POV
Then Tristan started striding over to us.
Within seconds, he was in our way.
“Can I see you for a second, Evelyn?” he asked stiffly.
My eyes traveled to Leah. She was watching us with a bitter expression. It was precious.
“OK.” I turned to give Asher a soft smile, “See you later, Alpha Asher.”
Asher picked up my hand and left a peck on the back of it.
“Looking forward to your speech,” he replied deeply.
Tristan’s eyes were burning with jealousy.
He turned sharply and walked away. I followed behind his back. As soon as we were alone, he fired away immediately:
“What did you and Alpha Asher talk about? Why did he kiss you?!!”
I wasn’t going to tell him about the Luna contract.
“He was worried about Leah’s qualifications. As for that kiss…he was only being polite,” I said aloofly.

Tristan let out a sigh of relief, “Oh. Tell him that there’s nothing to worry about. The transition will be very smooth. Nothing will influence our collaboration.”
He paused and gave me a disapproving look.
“But I still didn’t like him touching you!” he growled darkly.
I gave him an icy look.
He was leaving me for Leah. Why did he care?
He leaned in closer. His voice became hoarse, “I’m really glad tha promise, Evelyn, I will find a way to thank you…”
you’re willing to
up tonight, to ease Alpha Asher’s mind for us. And I can
My whole body was trembling with disgust when he leaned in.
This was the man who killed my baby!!!
I wished I could strangle him right here and right now.
But that would be a way to easy death for him.
So I restrained that disgust and asked with a raised eyebrow, “Thank me how?”
He stared at me deeply, “Don’t get intimidated by Leah. She’s a sweet girl once you get to know her. And I still want you as my Luna…”
“TRISTAN!!!”
A sharp voice interrupted him.
Leah forced her way in and hooked her arm around Tristan’s. She glared at me with a defensive look.
“Evelyn should go on stage and pitch the project now,” she said sternly.
Oh right.” Tristan nodded, “Go secure this project for Blazewood Pack, Evelyn. For me and this pack.”
With an icy chuckle, I turned and walked away from them.
The stage was ready for me.
I walked into the spotlight, facing the hundreds of people in the hall and I began my speech.
I delivered the presentation smoothly, effortlessly citing data, and passionately describing the grandeur of the project.
The Carnival City aims to develop a deserted land into the largest entertainment city.

It will be home to the world’s top casinos, nightclubs, malls, and hotels. The rich from all over the world would come here to spend their money.
And the one who builds this city will become a multi–billionaire!
The audience’s expressions told me that they were hooked. The elders nodded repeatedly. Even Tristan was staring at me in awe.
I knew I must have looked so confident and radiant at that moment.
The half–hour presentation flew by. When the lights came back on, the hall erupted in thunderous applause.
Everyone looked at me with admiration, clapping their hands red with excitement.
This was my moment.
I earned it!
As I walked down from the stage, the crowd surged towards me, eager to congratulate me.
Tristan pushed his way to the front, his face flushed with excitement.
“Well done, Evelyn!” he cried, grabbing my hand. “Alpha Asher will definitely sign the contract with us-”
pulled my hand back with a cold look, “No. I wasn’t pitching the project on behalf of Blazewood Pack.”
A stunned silence fell over the crowd.
…What?” Tristan murmured, perplexed.
“I only agreed to pitch the project. But I didn’t say whom I would be representing.”
“SO?” Tristan roared.
الا الله الله الله الله
“So, just now, I was representing my home, Emerald Howl Pack. They will become Storm Fang Pack’s new partner!” I said loudly.
“YOU WHAT?!!!” Tristan snarled in anger and

I stood up to his rage bravely, “Carnival Project only exists because of me. Now that you are divorcing me, I’m taking the fruit of my efforts!” “Who says I’m going to divorce you?!” he growled.
“Then I divorce you!” I cried, trembling. “I wasn’t going to stay here and let
You and your mistress insult me. I said it already…it’s either her or me.” The hall erupted with whispers and murmurs. Most people were shocked by my statement.
“You’ve got to be kidding me!” Leah’shrieked, “Emerald Howl Pack as the new partner? That international recognition! Why should it be a part of this grand project?!”
Oor shithole has no class, no power, and no
“Because I’m from Emerald Howl Pack and I created this project!” I raised my chin and said, “And the poor shithole that you looked down at gave me 39 million and 2000 soldiers as my dowry when I married! That money saved Blazewood’s finances! Those soldiers protected Blazewood’s borders!”
Tristan’s face went pale.
That was a fact that he could not deny.
I continued, “So now, I won’t just take Carnival City away. I want you to give back my soldiers and my “Impossible!” Tristan’s face (witched with anger, “Your dowry became MINE the moment we married!”

He suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled me close.
Flames of rage soared in his eyes.
“Even you are MINE.” He gritted darkly, “Forget about the divorce. We are mates. Blessed by the Moon Goddes Everything that belongs to you is still mine! Your dowry, the project, your body and soul-”

bound together forever.
“Then I’ll reject you.”
“What?” he rounded his eyes in shock.
Taking a step back, I said shakily under everyone’s shocking gaze:
-I, Evelyn Laurent, reject you, Tristan Fletcher the Alpha of Blazewood Pack! Our mate bond officially ends

“NO!!!” Trsitan roared.
A sharp pain shot through my body like a whip. I gasped and staggered back in pain, and so did Tristan.
“My love!” Leah cried and rushed to hug him, “Are you alright? But this is a good thing! You are finally done with her!”
But Tristan shoved her aside roughly.
He fixated his gaze upon me, his face full of anger and disbelief, “-How dare you, Evelyn! I’m your Alpha! Your destined mate-”
“Not anymore.” I panted, swaying on my feet.
At least now I don’t need to get hurt every time he fucks Leah.
A large hand held my arm, helping me regain my balance. It was Asher.
“Are you OK?” he asked, his voice sexy and hoarse.
