Chapter 190: Who Do You Think You Are to Order Me?
Evelyn’s POV
All squads are still engaged in combat, I responded to Luna Isabella through the mind link.
Understood. Get the children and Omegas safe first, then worry about the warriors, she replied.
I rushed to the school where warriors were guiding kids toward the tunnels. A little boy came running back, panic written across his face.
‘The tunnel collapsed!” he gasped. ‘Some people got through, but then everything just… caved in.”
Shit. At least some kids made it through, but more than a dozen were still here, looking at me with terrified eyes.

“It’s okay, I forced a smile. “We’ll find somewhere else safe.”
Freya leaned against the wall, blood trickling from her head wound. I helped support her while herding the kids toward the library one entrance, high
windows, heavy bookshelves for cover.
The children followed in a trembling line, younger ones clutching older kids’ shirts. Their fear was so thick I could smell it.
We moved quickly through empty hallways. Every corner made my nerves spike, but the sounds of fighting outside were fading. Finally, we reached the
library.
“Everyone inside,” I whispered, counting heads. “Find a spot and stay quiet.”
The kids scattered some behind bookshelves, others curled up on reading cushions. Freya and I checked every corner for threats.
Evelyn, what’s your status? A warrior’s voice hit my mind.
We’re in the school library. Safe for now. Tunnel’s down, but some kids got through.
We’ve got a problem at the pack house. Acacia’s blocking the entrance. Won’t let anyone in. The kids and Omegas who made it there are stuck outside.
My blood boiled. Even now, she was playing power games?
Does Luna Isabella know?
She and Delta Diana are inside getting ready to receive them, but Acacia’s insisting she goes in first as the future Luna.”
I took a deep breath, already picturing Acacia on those steps, completely ignoring shivering children while she threw her tantrum.
Freya, can you handle this?” I turned to my friend.
She nodded, determination cutting through her weakness. Let’s go deal with her
I quickly briefed the older kids on what to watch for, then contacted nearby warriors.
Need three people at the library to guard these children. Freya and I are heading to pack house.
Copy that, on our way.

Once the warriors arrived, I helped Freya leave quickly. Our footsteps echoed on empty streets. I could hear her trying to control her breathing, fighting to appear stronger than she was.
‘You don’t have to push yourself,” I said.
“Yeah, I do. Her voice was weak but fierce. ‘I’m sick of her bullshit.”
The pack house blazed with lights, but the scene at the entrance made me see red. Dozens of people crowded at the bottom of the stone steps – Omegas
holding children, little wolf cubs who’d just escaped danger. And Acacia stood on the highest step like some queen, hands on her hips.
“I said wait!” Her shrill voice cut through the night. “I’m the future Luna, and my safety comes first!”
A six-year-old girl got shoved aside and nearly fell. The kid’s crying hit me like a punch.
“Enough!” My voice came out louder than intended. Everyone turned to stare.
Acacia’s face showed a flash of panic before that smug expression returned. “Well well. Our little hero and her injured friend.”
I ignored her and went straight to the fallen girl, helping her up. “You’re okay, sweetheart.”
“Sister Evelyn…” She sobbed and threw herself into my arms.
That simple gesture seemed to give everyone else courage. They started moving toward me, and I felt their trust like a warm weight.
Acacia,” I looked directly at her. “This isn’t the time for your power trip. Move.”
“Who the hell do you think you are to order me around?” she shrieked. “You’re nothing but an unwanted Beta’s daughter!”
Luna Isabella, Delta Diana – Acacia’s blocking evacuation efforts. We need to handle her.
About damn time! Diana’s response burned with anger. Tie her up if you have to. That’s an order!
I straightened, meeting Acacia’s glare. “You’ve got two choices. Move aside, or get dragged aside.”
Her expression shifted – clearly hadn’t expected me to be this direct. But she rallied quickly. “You wouldn’t dare! My father’s on the board, bell-*
“Your father?” Freya’s voice was weak but dripping with contempt. “The warriors are out there fighting. We’re here protecting kids. What exactly have you done besides stand there showing off?”
Acacia’s face went red. “How dare you talk to me like that! I am –
“You’re nothing, I cut her off. A real Luna puts her pack first, not herself. Now move!”
1 released my full aura. Acacia staggered backward, shock and fear replacing her ogance. Others surged forward as warriors quickly opened the doors and began guiding everyone inside.
Well done, Luna Isabella’s approval warmed my mind. Delta Diana’s ready in the ement
I supported Freya, staying at the back. Acacia glared at us but didn’t dare blockyone else.
In the basement, Luna Isabella and Delta Diana had prepared blankets and hot wer. Relief flooded their faces when they saw everyone arrive safely.
“Evelyn, Freya, Luna Isabella hurried over. “Are you both alright?”

“We’re fine,” I said, helping settle frightened children. Need to do a headcount.”
We spent the next while counting people, checking injuries, and calming kids. Freya insisted on helping despite her weakness.
“We got lucky, Delta Diana said after checking the last child. ‘Minor injuries only
