The Disdained Luna Who Rose Alone-Chapter 64 Tell Me, or You Die

Evelyn’s POV

I had just landed in Ravenshade when Jackson sent me the message. My twin boys were kidnapped. My blood ran cold as I clutched my phone, staring at the surveillance footage Jackson had pulled from the city’s cameras.

"Run a facial recognition on that woman in the back seat," I instructed, my voice deadly calm despite the storm raging inside me.

There was something eerily familiar about her. The way she’d styled her hair, her posture... She was mimicking me. Not skillfully, but enough to fool my innocent boys who would have immediately run to their "mother" without question.

In Ravenshade, only one woman knew my daily routine, understood my innocent sons so well.

"The factory is a diversion," I told Eryx over the phone. "Search the hills behind it."

I immediately called Jackson next.

"Jackson, keep tracking Clara’s call records. Check her movements for the past two days. She must have slipped up somewhere."

After giving orders to my team, I thought of my baby girl. At least Alexis was safe with Calvin. That was one small mercy in this nightmare.

Without wasting another second, I headed straight for the Bloodbane Pack territory.

The pack guards recognized me instantly. Even after three years, they whispered "Luna" as I passed. They let me through without question. Calvin’s scent of pine and earth filled the air as I walked up to the main house.

"Luna...I mean, Ms. Blackwell," the house steward approached, worry on his old face."Alpha Calvin isn’t home. Is there something I can assist you with?"

"Where is Clara?" I asked, my voice as cold as winter frost.

The manager seemed taken aback by my directness. "Miss Whitmore is resting in the guest quarters. Shall I call for her?"

I held up my hand to stop him. "That won’t be necessary."

I raised my hand to silence him, motioning for Eryx to follow me. The fact that Calvin had Clara staying in the guest wing rather than the main house gave me a sliver of satisfaction, though I pushed the feeling aside. My sons’ safety came first.

When we reached her door, I didn’t bother knocking. One solid kick was all it took. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Clara jumped at the sound, her phone still in her hand as she spun to face us. Her expression shifted from shock to anger when she recognized me.

"How dare you come here? Who let you in?" she demanded, trying to stay calm.

I didn’t answer. My eyes stayed on hers as I nodded at Eryx. He moved fast, grabbing Clara’s jaw and forcing a black pill into her mouth.

"Swallow," Eryx ordered before returning to my side.

Clara coughed hard, holding her throat, trying to spit out the pill. Too late.

I sat across from her, watching her coldly. "Where are Rowan and Rhys?"

Fear crossed her face. "I don’t know what you mean," she said between coughs.

"If Calvin finds out what you did to me, he’ll destroy you!" she said, voice rough.

I laughed without humor. "That doesn’t matter. You won’t live to see it."

Clara went white as she understood. "You crazy bitch! What did you give me?"

"Just poison," I said calmly, looking at my watch. "Nothing special."

Clara fell to her knees, holding her chest as pain spread through her. Her body reacted to what she thought was real. The mind could be powerful.

"Give me the antidote!" she begged, real fear in her eyes.

I smiled coldly. "Two minutes to tell me where my sons are. Or else..."

Clara started to speak, ready to lie, when the door opened.

Calvin walked in with Alexis sleeping in his arms. Her face was against his shoulder. Seeing them together, father and daughter, made me feel things I didn’t want to think about. Alexis seemed so comfortable with her father.

"Calvin!" Clara screamed. "Help me! She poisoned me!"

She ran at him. Calvin turned to protect Alexis. Without his help, Clara fell to the floor.

"Calvin?" She sounded shocked and hurt.

Calvin looked at the house steward, who helped Clara up though she could barely stand.

My anger faded when I saw my daughter. I went to Calvin for Alexis. He hesitated but gave her to me carefully.

"She wouldn’t let go of me," he said softly. "She kept asking for her brothers."

Alexis woke at my voice. When she saw me, she reached for me right away.

"Mommy," she said, eyes red from crying. "Find brothers."

I hugged her close to calm down. "We will, baby. We will."

After calming Alexis, I gave her to Eryx. Unlike with Calvin, she went to him easily. She trusted the pack member who had kept her safe since birth.

I saw the jealousy in Calvin’s eyes at how easily she went to Eryx. His cold look moved between us before turning to Clara as she talked about the poison.

"My team found proof Clara took our sons," I said, looking straight at him.

Calvin’s face turned dark. "What proof?" he asked, his Alpha voice sharp with anger.

I kept my eyes on his.
