Betrayed, But Redeemed. A bitter apology
FIONA POV. My gut twisted hearing those words; it wasn't the physical pain he had caused me that bothered me; it was, in fact, I didn't like the manner in which he had spoken. I didn't like it; this act was going too far, but even so, I contemplated what to say or do; it wasn't seeming to be an act anymore.Yet he wouldn't do that to me, right?“Well, don't just stand there like a mute and come with me now! " he ordered sternly, not sparing me a glance. My body shook, as though there was friction in my feet. I dragged myself behind him, pain stabbing away at my sides.I feel myself briefly at a loss for words; he wasn't saying anything, his eyes were pinned ahead, and I could only walk in hisSomething was off; I wanted to reach out to him, to ask him if something had happened to piss him off. I wanted to do anything but imagine the worst, but it seemed as though there was a gap between us.“Come on, move faster, pipsqueak.”Pipsqueak? That had done it, broken me, he stopped by the d

FIONA'S POV.“Fine, get out, both of you. Lena needs to rest; besides, I could care less about what she does with her time or where she goes; she's probably going to put you in harm's way as well.” Marcekkus deadpanned, his gaze stiffened; our eyes locked for a moment, and all I could see was irritation in them; he must really loathe me.I swallowed a lump in my throat, trying back to hold my tears; he wasn't worth it; no one was. Rachel lowered his gaze to match mine, a reassuring smile on his lips as he locked his eyes into mine.“Common, let's go.” He whispered, drawing me closer to himself, neither of us saying a thing to the other as we walked out of the door, and down the corridor, we approached the garage, and he had the gesture that I settled into the seat as he held out the door for me. “I don't... Are you sure this is a good idea? I really don't want you getting in your arms or hurting out. I stuttered out, my voice thinning out as I spoke.“Just get in, Fiona! Don't make m

MARCELLUS’ POV.“Why won't you sleep here?” Lena asked, rubbing her fingers to draw invisible lines on my arms. I recoiled, trying as hard as I could not to flip out; I was surprised to see how tense I had been all along.Staying in Lane's arms seemed like a sin, one I couldn't commit and shouldn't anymore. Gently I shoved her off my lap, and standing to my feet, I cursed at whatever forces had put me in this position. This was what I had to bear for Fiona's sake, even if it meant hurting her.I'm certain she was strong enough to take just a few days of harsh words; she won't break her easily. It was justEither I did this, or death for the latter wasn't what I wanted to think of.“You need a good night's rest, Lena. I'll only be a nuisance.” I whispered out the worst, trying hard to sound as convincing as possible.Although I'm certain she peaky saw through the cracks already, I realized I may be doing all of this for Fiona, yet it was just as Raymond had advised friendship….

MARCELLUS’ POV.Four bloody times I had called Raphael, and each one went straight to voicemail. He was getting under my skin, pissing me off for a bloody purpose. I'd make him pay; it was a promise. But first off, I needed to speak with Fiona.Where did she go off with that scoundrel? I hadn't said a thing about him because I wasn't certain; there was no solid evidence of any sort. I couldn't be rash, but I had every reason, in fact, to believe Raphael was indeed involved in selling drugs with the humans.He was an alpha. He had to propel the strengths. There was joy playing in hell. I had a brother who was no different than a drug lord. I needed to correct certain things, starting from now.The minute I lay my hands on him, the moment I see him, I'm sure as hell sending him out of my back; I couldn't keep up with this base KWS advances toward her; she was too innocent, Fiona was way too naive that I know to be swooned by his promises.I didn't like him lingering around her, but I'm
Last Updated : 2024-12-21Betrayed, But Redeemed. Revealed Identity
RAPHAEL'S POV. I glanced Sideways, my phone had been switched off, but an annoying continuous ring from the second phone made me grumble in low tones, knowing who the caller was. Slowly I reached toward it, cursing beneath my breath; she really needed it nailed into her head that she needed to quit playing the mother role. “Where the fuck are you?” Her voice barked into the phone as soon as the line clicked. I picked the phone off my ears slowly, corking my head to the side, my eyes rolling in their orbs. What was she dying to hear? “It's cold tonight; can we not do this?” I strutted towards the balcony, peering behind me; Fiona would knock if she wanted to come in, but there was something about risks I wasn't willing to take. The soft glow in the moonlight was up in the sky, the streets around the estate were well-lit, I could hear night sounds coming from the garden, and the poolside, and everything else was silent. The rooms were reinforced and soundproofed, so everyone could

RAPHAEL'S POV. Dropping the phones to a side, I walked slowly without a care in the world; the entire room was silent, it warmed up to me firmly knowing Marcellus was probably having restless nights, tossing from one side of the bed towards another. Cursing at me, I wouldn't mind if he dealt me a blow as soon as we returned home, might help in scoring more points for me. But Lena was right, why? Do I really need Fiona? Maybe...maybe not. I had to admit it made me glad with an air of pride seeing that painful glint in Marcellus's eyes; I enjoyed the pain he felt when he saw me hovering around Fiona. Seeing he was unsettled in his own pack, suddenly possessive of a woman, he made me insane with joy; he was getting obsessed and reckless. The council would notice soon enough; Fiona wasn't so important in my life; it kept Marcellus from my drug trade, though, but Lena could do just as much if she was put to the task. Yet I could not picture myself away from Fiona, she had become… more

RAPHAEL'S POVHer lips felt like heaven, soft and inviting, pulling me deeper without even trying. For a moment, she just froze, her hands clutching my shirt, unsure whether to pull me closer or push me away. But then she gave in, melting against me like she belonged there.I deepened the kiss, my hand sliding to her waist. She whimpered softly, and damn, it did something to me. That sound, the way her body trembled—it was like fuel, feeding the fire already burning inside me.When I finally pulled back, her chest was rising and falling, her cheeks flushed. She looked up at me, her wide eyes filled with something I couldn’t quite name. Was it confusion or desire? Maybe a mix of both.“Raphael,” she whispered, her voice shaky but soft, like she was testing how it sounded to say my name like that.I smirked, brushing my thumb over her cheek. “What? Did I scare you?”Her face turned redder, and she quickly looked away. “You shouldn’t have done that,” she mumbled, but her voice lacked con

RAPHAEL'S POVHer words echoed in my head, and I couldn’t help the rush of emotions that came with them. She was mine now. Completely mine, and I wasn’t letting her go. Not tonight, not ever.I stepped closer, my hands still holding her face. Her eyes were wide, staring into mine with a mix of fear and something else—something I couldn’t ignore. I leaned in close, my lips brushing against her ear as I spoke.“Say it again,” I whispered, my voice soft but firm. “Tell me what you want, Fiona.”She hesitated for just a moment, her breath shaky, before she whispered back, “I want you, Raphael.”Those words lit a fire inside me. Without waiting another second, I kissed her again, harder this time. My hands moved down her back, pulling her closer to me. She gasped into the kiss, her hands clutching my shirt as if she couldn’t get close enough.I pressed her against the wall, my lips leaving hers to trail down her jaw and neck. She tilted her head back, giving me full access, and I didn’t wa

Betrayed, But Redeemed. Together forever
FIONA'S POV.The silence in the room was heavy after Marcellus left. I sat on the bed, my arms wrapped protectively around my belly, trying to reassure myself. “He’ll be back soon,” I whispered, but the words didn’t chase away the lingering fear. The muffled sounds of chaos outside didn’t help. My instincts told me to stay calm, but every fiber of my being wanted to run after Marcellus, to be near him. A sudden creak from the door snapped me out of my thoughts. My head whipped toward the sound, my heart racing. The door swung open violently, and a figure stepped in. “Lena?” I gasped, recognizing the Alpha’s daughter who had always been cold and distant toward me. She shut the door behind her with a slam, her movements sharp and furious. Her eyes, wild with rage, locked onto mine. “You,” she spat, her voice dripping with venom. I instinctively backed up, pressing against the headboard. “Lena, what are you doing here? Marcellus told me to stay here—” “Shut up!” she snapped
Betrayed, But Redeemed. Pure chaos
MARCELLUS’ POV.It was a cool evening, the stars twinkling in the clear sky I had been planning this for days, making sure everything was perfect. Fiona deserved nothing less. “Where are we going?” she asked, her voice filled with curiosity as I guided her outside the packhouse. “Patience, my love,” I said, a small smile tugging at my lips. “You’ll see soon enough.” She clutched my arm as we walked through the garden, her steps light but hesitant. The cool night air made her cheeks rosy, and her fiery red hair shone under the moonlight. She looked breathtaking, as she always did. Finally, we reached the spot I had prepared. A blanket was spread out on the soft grass, surrounded by lanterns that cast a warm, flickering light. A basket full of her favorite snacks sat in the center, and a small bouquet of wildflowers rested beside it. Her eyes widened as she took it all in. “Marcellus… this is beautiful.” I watched her reaction closely, feeling a wave of satisfaction at her
Betrayed, But Redeemed. Friends Forever
MARCELLUS’ POV.The sun was blazing hot as Raymond and I stood in the training arena, sweat dripping down my face as I readied myself for another sparring session. I couldn’t help but smirk at him as he adjusted his stance, trying to look confident. “You ready to lose, Raymond?” I teased, rolling my shoulders to ease the tension. He chuckled, shaking his head. “You talk big for someone who barely landed a hit last time.” “Barely?” I raised a brow. “Let’s settle this with a wager then. The winner gets a wish granted by the loser. Deal?” Raymond hesitated for a moment, but then nodded, a sly grin spreading across his face. “Deal. Don’t cry when you lose, Alpha.” We circled each other, the air thick with tension and determination. He came at me fast, throwing a punch that I dodged easily. I countered with a swift kick that nearly knocked him off his feet. For a moment, I thought I had him, but Raymond was nothing if not crafty. He feigned a stumble and came back with a series o
Betrayed, But Redeemed. Three months later
FIONA’S POVThe morning sun streamed through the curtains, filling the room with a warm glow. I sat on the bed, my hand resting on my now-visible baby bump. It still felt surreal, knowing that three little lives were growing inside me. Marcellus walked into the room carrying a tray of food, his face lighting up when he saw me. “Good morning, my love,” he said, placing the tray on the bedside table. I smiled at him, though I couldn’t hide the slight frown as I glanced at the food. My eating habits had been all over the place these past few months. Some days I couldn’t stop eating, while on others, even the smell of food made my stomach turn. “What’s wrong?” he asked, sitting beside me and taking my hand. “I’m just not sure if I can eat,” I admitted. He gave me a soft smile, brushing a strand of hair behind my ear. “Just try a little, for me? And for the babies?” His words always had a way of melting my worries. I nodded, picking up a piece of toast. As I ate, Marcellus wa
Betrayed, But Redeemed. Away from home
FIONA'S POV I sat on the sofa in Marcellus’s room, my legs tucked under me as I absentmindedly flipped through a book. The sunlight streamed through the large windows, warming the room and making everything feel peaceful. Marcellus was at his desk, stacks of files surrounding him as he worked. It was strange seeing him like this—calm, focused, and completely off I couldn’t help but watch him. His golden hair caught the light as he leaned forward, his brows furrowed in concentration. Every so often, he’d glance at me and smile, making my heart flutter. “This is nice,” I said softly, leaning back against the cushions. “I could get used to this.” He chuckled without looking up. “Used to what? Watching me work?” “Used to spending quiet days with you,” I replied, smiling. “It’s peaceful.” Marcellus looked up then, his eyes softening. “I wish every day could be like this,” he said, his voice full of warmth. I felt a surge of happiness, my hand unconsciously resting on my stomac
Betrayed, But Redeemed. News that burned
LENA’S POV The room was quiet, the kind of stillness that made every little noise louder. I sat on the edge of my bed, my nails tapping against the wooden frame as I stared out the window. The moon hung low in the sky, casting a pale glow over the pack grounds. My father was late. I checked the time again, biting my lip to stop myself from screaming into the empty room. Finally, the sound of footsteps echoed in the hallway, followed by the creak of the door opening. Father walked in, his face stern and his steps heavy. “Lena,” he said, closing the door behind him. “It’s late. What’s the matter now?” I didn’t wait for him to come closer. Instead, I jumped up and ran to him, grabbing his arm as tears spilled down my cheeks. “Father,” I whimpered, my voice breaking. “It’s ruined! Everything is ruined!” He frowned, his hands resting on my shoulders. “What are you talking about, child? What’s ruined?” “Marcellus,” I cried, my voice shaking. “He knows. He knows it was all an act!
Betrayed, But Redeemed. The next move
LENA’S POV The silence in my room felt suffocating. I paced back and forth, my bare feet sinking into the rug I’d heard the commotion earlier—Father’s yelling could probably be heard from miles away. I knew he was down at the pack house. Shouting at Marcellus, throwing accusations around like arrows. It was all part of the plan, but it still made my stomach twist into knots. I sat down on the edge of the bed, gripping the edge of the mattress tightly. My heart raced as I thought about everything that had happened. No, I didn’t try to end my life. That wasn’t part of the plan. But the idea of it, the mere suggestion, had been enough to send a ripple of panic through the pack. Marcellus needed to know that I wasn’t someone to be discarded so easily. He thought he could just cast me aside? That I would just vanish into thin air while he paraded that human woman around like some trophy? I laughed bitterly, the sound sharp and hollow in the still room. He didn’t know me at all if h
Betrayed, But Redeemed. A shadow lurking
MARCELLU'S POV.The shouting hit me before I even reached the entrance of the pack mansion. A loud, angry voice echoed through the pack grounds, drawing the attention of everyone nearby. My heart sank as I recognized it—it was Elder Thomas, Lena’s father. I pushed open the doors and rushed outside. The scene was chaotic. Pack members had gathered around, whispering in hushed tones as Elder Thomas stormed through the center of the courtyard. His face was red with fury, his fists clenched tightly at his sides. “Thomas, what’s going on?” I called out, stepping forward to face him. His eyes snapped to me, filled with rage and pain. “You dare ask me what’s going on, Marcellus?” he spat. “You cast my daughter out like she was nothing! And now this!” I frowned, trying to piece together what he meant. “What are you talking about?” “She’s my daughter, my blood!” he shouted, his voice shaking. “You humiliated her! You stripped her of her title and sent her away from her home, her fami
Betrayed, But Redeemed. Breakfast for luna
MARCELLUS POV. I woke up early, the sun just beginning to rise, casting a soft golden glow over the room. Fiona lay beside me, her face peaceful and serene, her red hair sprawled across the pillow. She looked so beautiful, so fragile, and yet I knew the strength she carried inside her. Careful not to wake her, I slipped out of bed. Today, I wanted to do something special for her, something that would show her how much she meant to me. Breakfast. It seemed simple enough, but for Fiona, it had to be perfect. She deserved the best, and I wanted her to feel loved and cared for. I made my way to the royal kitchen, where the staff were already busy preparing meals for the pack. As I entered, the clattering of pots and pans came to an abrupt halt. The maids froze, their eyes wide with surprise. “Alpha,” one of them stammered, bowing her head. “What brings you here?” “I’m making breakfast,” I said simply. The room fell silent. “Alpha,” another maid said cautiously, “we can pr
