Lucian stood up and followed after his mother. He smiled reassuringly at me, but I knew that something was wrong. His mother didn’t like me, and she was having no trouble hiding that fact.

Maybe I should leave. The last thing I wanted to do was to come here and disrupt their obviously peaceful lives. But where would I even go? I still had no way of finding the potion. I couldn’t exactly go back to the pack. It had been two days, and Sebastian was probably having the time of his life with Lilith now that I was gone.

The babies kicked at that moment, and the bulge appeared on my stomach through my shirt, causing Lucy and Oak to gasp.

Lucy looked at her sister with her eyes shining. “I told you there was a baby in dere!”

Oak grinned at me. “Is that a baby?”

I looked at the girls, instantly forgetting about Lucian and his mother. There was something about little kids being excited that just rubbed off on you too, no matter what you were going through. It was inevitable. Now I had no id

  • Alpha’s Betrayal: The rejected Luna’s Secret   CHAPTER 67

    LILITHI paced inside the small cage until my legs ached, until the cold metal made my fingers numb. They hadn’t fed me. They hadn’t spoken to me. They hadn’t even looked my way since Vale locked me in.Fucking cowards. All of them!They didn’t understand what I could offer, how much they needed me. They were too stupid, too rabid, and too loyal to a dead man who got himself caught in the first place.This wasn’t my fault.I wrapped my arms around myself, hating the tremor in my hands. “This is temporary,” I whispered. “They’ll come to their senses.”The wind didn’t agree. It howled through the camp, rattling the cage like it was laughing at me.Hours passed before footsteps approached.Vale.He came with two others… the woman with the braid and a smaller man with sharp eyes who looked like he hadn’t slept in days.They stopped in front of my cage.Vale crossed his arms. “Are you ready to talk?”“I’ve done nothing wrong,” I said immediately. “You’re all working off a rumor, and you’re

  • Alpha’s Betrayal: The rejected Luna’s Secret   CHAPTER 66

    LILITHI walked the remaining way through the forest with only one thought in my mind. Power.They would respect me once they saw me. They had to. Emory had trusted me more than he ever trusted any of them. He told me everything. He shared every plan, every strategy, and every weakness in Sebastian’s pack. I was the only one who could take his place.I was the only one worthy of that position. They might’ve never had a female Alpha before. But it was time.Branches scraped my arms as I pushed through the last line of trees, and then the rogue camp finally came into view — a wide clearing filled with tents, smoke, and wolves who froze the moment they saw me.A dozen pairs of eyes turned toward me.All hostile.Good. Let them stare.I straightened my back, tossed my hair back, and lifted my chin. “Well,” I announced, stepping into the clearing, “I see hospitality hasn’t improved since the last time I was here.”No one laughed or even said anything.A man I vaguely recognized with broad

    ALORA“I can’t believe she escaped.”I turned to Sebastian, feeling tired. “I can. It’s Lilith we’re talking about. Were you really expecting anything else? It’s just sad that she took that poor boy’s life with her.”“I don’t even know where to start. What am I supposed to do?” Sebastian said quietly.“I don’t know. She’s gone. Maybe we should just leave it at that. I know she’ll never truly be gone, but what else can we do? Utilizing soldiers to go out and find her will just be a waste of time and resources. Let her be. And if she comes back, we’ll deal with it.” I sighed. Sebastian was quiet for a long while before he spoke. “Are you okay?”I nodded absentmindedly. “Yeah, just tired.”“Right,” he fiddled with one of the kids' toys. “So… Killian left.”The mention of Killian’s name made me feel a small ache, but I pushed it away. “He did.”“It was nice what he did, driving you all the way.”I nodded once, still not tapping into the emotions I was feeling. “It was.”We were sitting i

    LILITHThe cell stank of iron and damp. I could taste rust in the air every time I breathed. The torches burned low, sputtering occasionally, throwing ugly orange shadows across the walls. The guards had stopped talking to me hours ago. I’d stopped trying to talk to them.It wasn’t worth wasting my voice.They thought I’d given up. That I was sitting here, broken and afraid, waiting for whatever punishment the Alpha decided. They didn’t know me at all.Alora’s words still rang in my head like the toll of a bell. “You murdered Anna.”The nerve. The sanctimonious, self-righteous—I smiled, even though no one could see me.They were all so predictable. Catherine with her false grace, Alora with her trembling pity, Sebastian with his hollow guilt. And that stupid Killian, standing there like the noble wolf come to save the day. They thought they’d cornered me.They hadn’t even begun to see what I was capable of.The guards outside my cell were whispering again. I caught bits of it — “Alph

    ALORA- The next dayThe packhouse gates loomed ahead like dark sentinels as Killian’s car rolled to a stop. I hadn’t realized how fast my heart was beating until the sound of the engine died, leaving only the hammering in my chest and the faint cries of the twins in the back seat.Home. The word didn’t feel the same anymore.Killian looked at me with a careful expression. “You ready?”No. Not even close.But I nodded anyway. “Let’s go.”The guards straightened when they saw me step out. Their surprise was obvious — wide eyes, quick glances, and a few whispered murmurs echoing through the gatehouse. It had been weeks since I left, and rumor traveled fast in a pack.Killian lifted the carriers with the twins, his calm presence grounding me as we walked up the stone steps. The front doors opened before I could even knock. Inside, the tension hit me before the voices did. There were loud overlapping voices coming from inside.Catherine’s voice carried first. “You’ve brought shame on this

    ALORA“Lucian?”His name slipped out before I could stop it.Both men turned.My father was standing behind the table, his face flushed and his jaw tight. Lucian stood a few feet away, shoulders tense, his hands balled at his sides. The energy between them was sharp enough to slice through the air. It looked like they’d been arguing.For a moment, no one spoke.Then my father cleared his throat, his voice low and clipped. “Alora. I didn’t expect you to be here tonight.”“Yeah,” I said, forcing a breath. “Neither did I.” My eyes flicked between the two of them. “What’s going on? Lucian? Why are you here?”Lucian’s expression softened when he saw me. “Alora… I didn’t know you were—”“Don’t,” my father cut him off sharply. “Not now.”“Don’t what?” I snapped, stepping forward. “What are you both doing? Why are you yelling like—” I stopped mid-sentence as realization started to crawl under my skin. The tension, the way my father looked at him, the way Lucian’s eyes flickered with something
