I was done hiding and cowering. Tintentionally raised my head to stare directly into Clara’s shocked face.
Her mouth dropped open. “Oh my god! It really is Evelyn!”
Lucas’s face was filled with shock and anger. “What the hell are you doing here?“%
Clara recovered quickly. “After rejecting him, you still had the audacity to stalk us? Following us all the way to Blackthom? How pathetic!”
I scoffed. “Stalking you? I came here to claim my throne.”
They both burst into laughter as they glanced at each other
“Your throne?” Clara wheezed. “What are you claiming to be? The queen of mops7%
Lucas shook his head. “Someone who only depends on me for everything, now pretending to have royal blood? Not only are you pathetic, but you’re also delusional.
Clara stepped closer, grabbing my uniform and rubbing the fabric between her fingers. This cleaning job suits you perfectly. Evelyn. Finally found your true calling, scrubbing floors and picking up after your betters.
Lucas joined in. “You’ll always be nothing, Evelyn. That’s why I never loved you. How could anyone love someone so worthless?”
Clara held her finger against my cheek. “Poor little Evelyn. So desperate for attention she has to make up stories about being royalty”
I dropped the mop. “At least I wasn’t sleeping with someone else’s mate while pretending to be their friend. Tell me, Clara, how does it feel knowing you’re just his second choice? Maya was first, I was second and you’re just the desperate leftover”
Clara slapped me hard across the cheek. Before I could retaliate, another slap rang out but it was Clare who was clutching her face in shock.
I looked up to see Dominic standing beside me. He’d changed into casual clothes and wore a face cap.
“I suggest you remove your hand from my fiancée,” His voice was deadly calm.

to the locker room./
“That’s her…”
“Can’t believe she would do something like that..“1
“Poor Lucas…”
Before I could change into my uniform, Sarah appeared in the doorway. “Evelyn. I need to speak with you Now“:
She led me to her office and closed the door. “You lied to me. I knew you looked familiar. It was driving me crazy until I saw this “%
She turned her tablet toward me. On the screen was a Woll Net post with multiple pictures of me. In one, I was smiling with Lucas at a pack gathering. In another, I was leaving the Silverstone territory with my suitcase. The caption read “EXPOSING EVELYN BENNETT THE TRUTH ABOUT THE WOMAN WHO DESTROYED LUCAS WALKER’S LIFE.“”
The post was brutal, claiming I had driven Lucas’s first mate to suicide, abused him emotionally for years, stolen his money, rejected our mate bond and now was flaunting his wealth in Blackthorn territory while he suffered
BEWARE: She’s unstable, ungrateful, and cannot be trusted!X
My stomach dropped. “Sarah, I can explain-“!
“So you were the wife of the Head Enforcer,” she cut me off. “How could you do this to them? To him? A sacred mate bond, rejected? And you didn’t think to mention any of this when I hired you?”
“It wasn’t relevant to-
“Not relevant?” Sarah’s voice rose. “Every customer in my cafe is talking about it! I can’t have someone like you working here. You’re fired, Evelyn. I’m sorry. I can’t have someone like you working here.“\
I stared at her in disbelief. “Someone like me?!
“Alar. A mate–bond rejector.” She shook her head. Pack your things and leave.”
I walked out in humiliation as people snapped photos of me. By the time I reached my apartment building, I was in tears. But worse was waiting for me.
My door was covered in red paint with foul words: “HOMEWRECKER,“}
*THIEF’S
“MATE–KILLER.” At the bottom was a tag: “L&C – Enjoy your parting gift.”
Inside was worse all my belongings were destroyed, furniture overturned, walls vandalized.
As I stood amid the wreckage, the landlord appeared behind me.!!
“I don’t accept liars, thieves, manipulators, or cheaters in my building.” he announced coldly. “You have 24 hours to leave. Your security deposit will be refunded, minus damages.
I watched in humiliation as people gathered in the hallway, some even taking photos of me standing in my destroyed apartment.
In that moment, I realized I had nothing left. No job, no home, no money and no dignity. Lucas and Clara had taken it all from me, again X
I pulled out my phone and dialed the one number td been avoiding
“Evelyn?” Dominic’s voice answered immediately!!
1 accept your offer” I said through gritted teeth. “Let’s fuck up these bitches!
