Mated in the Shadow of Betrayal Chapter 167: Piper's Kidnapping
(Leo Bloodstone POV)It has been almost 48 hours.I was supposed to be a married male by now. Piper was supposed to be wearing my mark. I was supposed to be explaining to Piper everything that I had done and why, and then —assuming she understood and was willing to accept it— having more of the best sex of my entire life while giving the symbolic middle finger to the werewolf council.Instead, Piper is gone. I have no idea where she is. Despite the three spells that I had placed on her engagement ring and despite all the other precautions that I took, it wasn’t enough. She left. And without a trace.I am a complete and utter wreck. If you were to see me right now, you may not even believe that I was me. The big, bad alpha has been reduced to a fraction of who I was before. I think most of my enemies would take one look at me and call me a major f&&king p&ssy right now. Hell, most of my friends probably would too. Especially because, instead of being out there killing someone
Mated in the Shadow of Betrayal Chapter 168: Back to the Panic Room
(Leo Bloodstone POV)After Ellis was banished, most things around Bloodstone Pack remained the same. Building layouts and training schedules, for example. However, we did make a few important changes.Some of the most important changes involved adding cameras to areas that had never had cameras in them before. This included the alpha and beta floors and all of the panic rooms. My parents had always resisted having cameras in these areas. They believed that privacy was important, especially for ranked wolves and especially for wolves forced into small spaces during a panic situation.I had a different philosophy. For me, security was more important than privacy… especially because —after everything that went down with Ellis, Ingrid, and I— I no longer trusted many of the wolves that had previously had access to those areas. Thus, when I became acting alpha, I had a special team install a lot of cameras in a variety of discreet locations. The cameras would be capable of both audi
Mated in the Shadow of Betrayal Chapter 169: Video Perspective
(Leo Bloodstone POV)“You f&&king moron,” my mother said to me angrily.Sometimes I think life would be easier if the females in my family weren’t so d&mn opinionated.But then, I suppose, they wouldn’t be them.“What?” I replied as I rubbed the back of my head, feeling completely confused.“What do you mean what? Did you not watch the same video that I just watched? You broke that poor girl.”I started to get angry. “Mother, I have no idea what you are talking about.”“So you didn’t pick Ingrid and Axel over Piper?”“Goddess, no.”“Oh, really?” she said sarcastically.“NO!”“So Piper would not see it that way, either?”“No, of course not!”Just then, Grandma Rosie walked into the room.“What are you both going on about?” she asked.“Your grandson is a moron,” my mother responded.“Is that why Piper left?”“NO!”“Uh-huh.”“Mother, I did nothing wrong! Stop blaming me. We haven’t even watched all the footage yet. And she was kidnapped. She didn’t leave.”“We will see about that,”
Mated in the Shadow of Betrayal Chapter 170: The Rest of the Footage
(Leo Bloodstone POV)It took us many, many hours to get through all of the security footage.Watching it never got any easier. I lost any trace of an appetite —despite how many times my mother tried to get me to eat— and I felt my claws come out several times as my wolf tried to force a shift. On top of that, I probably did end up with a minor concussion by the end of the recordings. But I didn’t care.We saw everything. Well, mostly everything. I had not equipped any of the bedrooms on the beta floor with cameras, so I did not see what happened in Nick and Jenny’s room.We saw Ingrid in the hallway, encouraging Axel to go into Piper’s room soon after I was called away to deal with the attack. We heard Axel tell Piper that I was his father. We saw Axel’s picture, showing Piper leaving the pack so that he, Ingrid, and I could be a family again. We heard Axel explain to Piper that I only wanted her for power and revenge.At that point in the footage, I threw the laptop that we wer
Mated in the Shadow of Betrayal Chapter 171: Fixing Things
(Leo Bloodstone POV)I could not, and would not, let go of Piper. That was simply not something that I was willing to consider.However, that does not mean that my mother’s words had not resonated with me. They had, because she was right. My father and I had allowed ourselves to become distracted, and in doing so, our pack had begun to slowly fall apart from the inside out.While I vowed to continue to look for Piper, I needed to also refocus my energies on my pack. I needed to clear out the bad energy once and for all, and I needed to ensure that our warriors were well-trained, loyal, and disciplined.Beginning that process meant paying visits to several key wolves, starting with Randy, ending with Ingrid, and including a whole lot of others in between. And definitely not forgetting about my father.****I sent a mind-link to Randy, telling him that he and his mate needed to meet me in the beta office in 15 minutes. We chose this location for the meeting because the alpha offic
Mated in the Shadow of Betrayal Chapter 172: Creative Punishment
(Leo Bloodstone POV)Picking up the remote on the desk, I pushed “play” on the television on the wall behind them. The footage from the garden bar began to play.“Alpha Leo is so hot. I can’t believe he is going to be a married man as of tomorrow.”“Me either. It should be a werewolf crime for males that hot to have mates and get married,” Lucy replied.“At least you know what it’s like to f&&k him. After tomorrow, I may never get that chance.”“Yes, but I think it’s actually worse that I know how amazing he is in bed.”“Liar.”“No, I’m serious.”“How you figure?”“Because I know what I’m missing. I know how big his dick is, and I know just how well he fills me up. I also know what it feels like to have his mouth kissing my body all over. Don’t get me wrong, I love my mate, but Randy will never be Alpha Leo.”At this point, I paused the video and looked at Randy. His face was red with anger, embarrassment, or both.“Tell me, Lucy,” my mother cut in. “How big is my son’s dick?”
Mated in the Shadow of Betrayal Chapter 173: The Trip Back
(Piper POV)Kade and I made it to Moon Shadow Pack without incident. Well, I take that back. We made it to Moon Shadow Pack MOSTLY without incident.Despite the earlier tension between us, I was grateful that Kade was with me. During the long bus ride, he distracted me with stories about his puphood and about what led to him wanting to become a doctor. He also told me some of the worst werewolf jokes that I have ever heard. The jokes were so awful that I could not help but laugh; Buster McGee’s job was definitely safe from the likes of Kade. (How did the werewolf stop the recording? By hitting the “paws” button. How do fans support a werewolf’s social media page? Lycan subscribe.) For a little while, I almost forgot about my fear, anger, and heartache. I even forgot to worry about where I was going to go after everything was settled, now that I no longer had a family and now that I was no longer welcome at Blue Ridge. I felt free and clear-headed for the first time in a w
Mated in the Shadow of Betrayal Chapter 174: Reunited with Friends
(Piper POV)I hesitated when I saw Moon Shadow’s border gates about 500 feet ahead of where we were walking.“What’s wrong?” Kade asked me, obviously concerned.I did not answer him right away. Instead, I looked down at my feet, which felt frozen in place as thoughts and worries began flooding my mind. It had only been two weeks since I was last here, and yet so much had happened. It felt like a lifetime had passed. I was technically still a member of Moon Shadow Pack, but in many ways, I felt like a stranger again.More importantly, the last time I was at Moon Shadow Pack, Asher was helping me run away. I could still remember in vivid detail what happened, and the horror that I felt when he was shot by Leo’s men. Leo told me that Asher had recovered, but I had no idea if that was true. After all, Leo also told me that my father was still alive. If Asher was still alive, would he forgive me for my part in what happened to him? Would Jonas? If Asher did not make it, would I be
