Betrayed, But Redeemed. Act one, scene never.
FIONA'S POV.“They all call you a witch, you know?” Maya whispered, easing herself into the chair beside me. She looked uneasy; on her toes, she wasn't relaxed. I didn't like this progress. Maya would usually be bickering around now causing a fuss and filling me on whatever gossip the maids had to tender.“You can relax, Maya, I won't bite you, not you, maybe others, but please, I was poisoned, and then I was framed. You were there and saw it too; you know better. I have to act tough for a few days, or they'll all walk all over me." I exclaimed,Then the light came to her eye once again, I could see her countenance brighten up after listening to my words.“Finally I can breathe. I knew something was odd with their descriptions; it sounded like they were spinning lies off the web, but I couldn't say anything. I wasn't certain either; besides, I have it in bed; they'll hate me more than they do if I try defending you.” Maya complained with a pout. She looked adorable, escaping my lips a

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…. I was d
Last Updated : 2024-12-19Betrayed, But Redeemed. A weakness
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
Last Updated : 2024-12-22Betrayed, But Redeemed. Devious minds
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

Betrayed, But Redeemed. The proposal
MARCELLUS’ POV.The clock ticked louder than usual, or maybe it was just my nerves playing tricks on me. I paced back and forth in my study, running my hands through my hair. Raymond stood near the desk, arms crossed, watching me with an amused expression. “It’s just dinner, Marcellus,” he said, his voice steady and calm. “It’s not *just* a dinner, Raymond,” I snapped, stopping in my tracks to glare at him. “It’s *the* dinner. I’m going to propose to her tonight. Everything has to be perfect.” Raymond chuckled softly. “You’re acting like a pup preparing for his first hunt. You’ve faced battles, councils, and rogue attacks, but this—this has you losing your mind?” I shot him a look, but the corner of my mouth twitched. “This is different. This is Fiona. I can’t mess this up.” He walked over and patted my shoulder. “You won’t mess it up. The flowers are ready, the food is set, and the ring... well, let’s just say it’s going to make her heart stop.” I glanced at the small vel
Betrayed, But Redeemed. Bittersweet goodbye
MARCELLUS’ POV.I stood outside the pack gates, watching as Darla’s belongings were loaded into the sleek black car that would take her away. The air was heavy, and so was my heart. I wasn’t sure how to feel—relieved, maybe, but also a little hollow. Darla stood a few feet away, her arms wrapped around herself as the cool breeze swept through. She didn’t look at me, her gaze fixed on the ground. I took a deep breath and walked over to her. “Darla,” I called softly. She lifted her head, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. “Marcellus,” she replied, her voice shaky. For a moment, neither of us spoke. The silence stretched between us, filled with words we didn’t know how to say. Finally, I broke it. “I know this isn’t how you thought things would end,” I said, my voice steady but low. “It’s not how I thought it would be either.” Darla looked away, blinking quickly. “I just never thought I’d be leaving like this,” she murmured. “This was my home.” “And it always will be, i
Betrayed, But Redeemed. Revelation
FIONA'S POV. I woke up to the faint sound of knocking at the door. My body was still aching, but the steady rhythm of the monitors and the faint hum of hospital air-conditioning reminded me I was safe. I glanced at the door just as Maya walked in, her usual bright demeanor somewhat subdued. “Good morning, Luna,” she said softly, a warm smile tugging at her lips. “Just Fiona,” I corrected gently, offering a weak smile. “You don’t have to call me that here.” Maya chuckled lightly, setting down a small bag of what looked like fruits and snacks. “Old habits, you know.” She pulled up a chair beside me, her eyes scanning me over with concern. “How are you feeling?” “Sore,” I admitted, shifting slightly to sit up. “But alive. That’s what matters.” Maya nodded, her expression growing serious. “Well, you’ve been through quite a lot, but I wanted to come by and check on you... and share something you should know.” I tilted my head, curious but wary. “What is it?” Maya hesitated
Betrayed, But Redeemed. Day of reckoning
LENA'S POV.I sat in my room, staring at the mirror as I tried to make sense of everything that had happened. My mind felt like a storm, swirling with confusion and anger. How could Marcellus strip me of my title like that? All these years, I’d stood by him, supported him, and worked to be the perfect Luna. And now, he had thrown it all away for Fiona. The door to my room burst open, startling me. I turned to see Tasha and Thelma standing there, their faces full of fake concern. They were always together, whispering and gossiping like two crows picking at scraps. “Oh, Lena,” Tasha said, her voice dripping with pity that wasn’t real. “We just heard the news. Are you okay?” “Such a shock,” Thelma added, her tone laced with sarcasm. “I can’t believe Marcellus would do something like that to you. You must be devastated.” I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms. “What do you two want?” I snapped, my voice cold. Tasha gave a little gasp, her hand flying to her chest li
Betrayed, But Redeemed. Council’s decision
MARCELLUS’ POV.The sun had just begun to rise when I decided it was time to act. I couldn’t wait any longer. Everything felt heavy in my chest—Fiona’s injury, the attack, the pack’s state of unrest. I reached out through the mind link to Raymond, my beta. His voice answered right away, sharp and alert, as if he had been expecting my call. “Raymond,” I said firmly. “Call the council together. I need everyone in the meeting room as soon as possible. This is urgent.” “Understood, Alpha,” Raymond replied without hesitation. “I’ll send out the call now.” I ended the link and stood still for a moment, breathing deeply. My hands rested on my hips, and I looked out the window at the quiet morning sky. Everything looked so peaceful out there, but inside me, it was chaos. Before leaving for the council, I knew I had to make sure everything at the hospital was in order. Fiona was still resting, and even though I trusted Darla to stay with her, I needed to see things for
Betrayed, But Redeemed. Waking up
FIONA'S POV.I was in a hospital room. My body ached everywhere, but there was a dull, burning pain in my side that stole most of my attention. I tried to move, but the effort made me wince. That’s when I saw her. “Darla?” I croaked, my voice barely above a whisper. She was seated in the chair by my bedside, her head resting on her hand as she dozed lightly. At the sound of my voice, she jolted awake, her wide eyes immediately locking onto mine. Relief washed over her face so quickly that it almost made me want to cry. “Fiona!” she gasped, leaning forward to grab my hand. “You’re awake! Thank the moon, you’re awake.” I managed a weak smile, though it hurt even to do that. “What… what happened?” Her grip on my hand tightened. “You were attacked, Fiona. There were robbers, and you…” Her voice wavered, and she paused, taking a deep breath. “You took a bullet. Marcellus brought you here just in time. The doctors said it was close, but you made it.” I stared at her, the memor
Betrayed, But Redeemed. Holding unto hope
MARCELLUS’ POV.The world around me was chaotic. I held Fiona in my arms, her body limp and lifeless. Blood soaked my hands, her shirt, and the floor. My mind screamed at me to do something, to fix this, but for the first time in my life, I felt utterly powerless. “Get the car ready!” I barked at the couple, my voice trembling with urgency. The woman, pale and shaking, nodded and ran outside while her husband brought towels. “Press this against the wound!” he shouted, handing me a bundle of fabric. I did as he said, applying pressure to her side. Fiona’s blood seeped through the towel almost instantly. My chest tightened as I looked at her face. She was so pale, her breathing shallow. “Stay with me,” I whispered, my voice breaking. “Don’t you dare leave me, Fiona. Don’t you dare.” The minutes felt like hours, but finally, the car screeched to a stop outside the house. I carried her out, cradling her as if she might shatter, and laid her gently in the back seat. “Drive!”
Betrayed, But Redeemed. The unexpected hero
FIONA'S POV.The sun poured through the window, bathing the room in golden light. I stretched my arms above my head and smiled to myself. The past few days had been peaceful, almost like a dream. The couple who had taken me in were kind, their warm smiles and gentle voices making me feel safe. For the first time in a long while, I felt free. I busied myself organizing the small space they’d given me. The bed was neatly made, and my clothes were folded into the old wooden dresser by the corner. I glanced around the room, feeling a sense of accomplishment. Everything looked perfect. On the bedside table, a vase held a single sunflower. I had picked it from the garden that morning, and its bright yellow petals seemed to brighten the entire room. I hummed a tune as I moved about, wiping down surfaces and arranging the few belongings I had. My heart felt light, and I couldn’t remember the last time I’d felt so content. As I placed a book on the small shelf by the window, a sudden n
Betrayed, But Redeemed. Final destination
MARCELLUS’ POV.The early morning sun barely lit up the study when I slammed the report onto my desk. My head was pounding, my patience stretched thin. Days of searching and still no sign of Fiona. It was unacceptable. Made me feel more miserable.I barely slept a wink, it had begun taking its toll on me, I felt miserable, I was the alpha and yet I couldn't even find my mate, just one thing that finally belonged to me, one person with whom I shared my soul with was never to be foundMy incompetence mocked me, Raphael had searched around the mountains, and the woods, and extended his armies yet nothing had been found, and now it was draining me,I rubbed my temples, trying to make sense of the scattered leads my men had brought in. Each report felt like a dead end, a cruel reminder that she was slipping further out of my grasp. The thought of her out there alone, unprotected, drove me mad. A knock on the door broke my thoughts. “Enter,” I barked, my tone harsher than I intended. T
