Mated in the Shadow of Betrayal Chapter 183: Getting Updates
(Addie POV)Beta Jonas was waiting for us at the packhouse when we arrived back at Moon Shadow Pack. Aiden and I were tired, grumpy, and desperately in need of (separate) showers, but it was still nice to see him. Jonas shook Aiden’s hand and then gave me a big hug.“Welcome back, Alpha and Luna. How was your trip?”“Fine,” Aiden and I replied at the same time. Jonas seemed a little taken aback by the gruffness of our response, but he let it go.“How is my sister?” Aiden asked.Jonas’s eyes darted to me and then back to Aiden. The unspoken question was obvious. Aiden waived his hand dismissively.“Addie already knows that Piper is my sister. You can talk freely.”So, it was Piper who was hurt and not Natalie? I wondered what had happened, and if Leo already knew. It really didn’t make sense that she would be here or that she would be hurt. The last that I heard, Leo had found her, and I knew that Leo would cut off his own arm before he let something happen to her.“Piper was
Mated in the Shadow of Betrayal Chapter 184: Getting to Know Addie
(Addie POV)Piper’s friend, Kade, was Aiden’s brother.Wow.I mean, I shouldn’t have been THAT surprised. A cheating, control-hungry rapist rarely only has only one victim or exploit. Still, I felt awful for Aiden. Finding out that he had yet another sibling that he didn’t know about wasn’t exactly the way that I wanted to say “I told you so.”After a few minutes of uncomfortable silence, I decided to give Aiden and Kade some space to talk. Choosing to let go of my earlier anger and figuring that we could work our issues out later, I gave Aiden a hug and a kiss; reassured him that I would be around when he needed me; and then excused myself from the office. Jonas followed right behind me.I had previously planned to call Leo at the earliest opportunity, but after finding out about Kade, I decided to first make sure there weren’t any other surprises waiting for us. To that end, I went to Aiden’s and my bedroom so that I could shower and change. I then went to find Piper.I ultim
Mated in the Shadow of Betrayal Chapter 185: Conflicting DNA Tests
(Alpha Aiden POV)As soon as Addie and Jonas left my office, I moved to my desk and sat down in my desk chair. Kade continued to watch me as I did so. It felt like hours passed before either of us said anything, although in reality I think it was just a few more minutes. A million thoughts were going through my mind, including how I was going to explain any of this to my mother and younger sister, and how much crow I was going to have to eat with Addie later. I just couldn’t believe it. Sitting before me was tangible proof that my father had not just cheated on my mother once, but twice. How had I never known? How had my mother been willing to forgive my father and play the part of his doting, loving wife and mate for so many years? How many other secret siblings did I have out there?As the questions flooded my mind, I stared at Kade. I could see in his body language that he had just as many questions as I did. At the same time, he seemed somewhat less surprised than me.“Yo
Mated in the Shadow of Betrayal Chapter 186: Calling Home
(Addie POV)Piper agreed to let me help her. Thank Goddess.You probably wonder why I was so interested in helping her. Honestly, I think it was a lot of things. She was my mate’s sister, so that was a pretty big thing. She was also a she-wolf who had managed to catch Leo Bloodstone’s attention, and that made her sort-of fascinating to me. As did the story of how she was conceived and what I had heard the Moon Goddess had planned for her.But more than any of those things, I really did feel like she-wolves needed to stick together. I was completely over females who back-stabbed one another…. especially because I had been one of the backstabbers once upon a time. In fact, I had stolen boyfriends —boyfriends, mind you, not mates— from more than one (former) friend.Surprised? Not surprised? Yeah, well. Go ahead and judge me. I’m a big girl; I deserve it. Just know that I am not that she-wolf anymore, and I haven’t been for a long time. And yes, helping Piper may have also
Mated in the Shadow of Betrayal Chapter 187: Addie Calls Leo
(Piper POV)I was nervous when Luna Addie asked me to speak to me alone. I wasn’t sure how much Aiden had told her about me. If he told her how close we were before I left —which he almost had to have done, to explain why they needed to return from their mate-moon early— I wouldn’t have been surprised if she hated me. After all, I knew that she-wolves tended to be jealous and territorial about their mates, especially when newly mated.Thankfully, she did not seem jealous of me at all. Instead, she explained why she wanted to talk and tried to make me feel comfortable. I didn’t fully trust her, especially given her connection to both Xander (who hated me) and Leo (who had spelled me). However, she seemed friendly enough during our conversation and she had a little edge to her, which I liked for Aiden. I could have easily pictured Aiden being mated to a stereotypical submissive she-wolf …and I’m sure that is what he expected too, given his prior choices in she-wolves… but I loved
Mated in the Shadow of Betrayal Chapter 188: Aiden vs. Addie
(Alpha Aiden POV)If I had a genie at my disposal and could only get one wish —or even better, if time machines were real— there is absolutely no question that I would have erased the past 72 hours. What a f&&king sh&t show.First, I fought with Addie about my late father’s character.Second, thanks to our fight, I went a couple of days without sex. (That in and of itself would not have been that big a deal, but I am an alpha; Addie and the powerful, new mate bond had gotten my body used to, and craving, sex every few hours; and —despite my anger with her— Addie remained as sexy and as tempting as ever.)Third, the human airlines totally f&&ked with us on the way back home, cancelling and delaying flights. It was my own fault for choosing to fly commercial instead of waiting for a private plane or a werewolf-run airline. However, even so, it lead to me being exhausted and worn out, which in turn lead to my short fuse being even shorter than normal. (The short fuse being, of cours
Mated in the Shadow of Betrayal Chapter 189: After the Rejection
(Addie POV)“I, Alpha Aiden of the Moon Shadow Pack, reject you, Addie, as my mate and luna.”Pain shot through me as Aiden spoke the words. The only thing that prevented me from falling to the ground was the shock and disbelief that he had said the words at all.He rejected me. He really just rejected me.How could he reject me? I thought that we were falling in love. I thought we really “clicked.” Jonas and others told me that Aiden seemed to be the happiest that he had ever been.Yes, I made a mistake. Ok, a big mistake. I should have talked to him before I called Leo. But I was upset about my aunt and uncle, and I really was just trying to help. How could he not see that?“Take it back,” I whispered, almost desperately.I saw a brief flash of regret in his beautiful, big eyes, but it was quickly replaced by angry determination.“No.”“A mate bond is not something to toy with Aiden. Take the words back,” I demanded.“No. Piper is my sister.”“And I am your mate.”“No, Add
Mated in the Shadow of Betrayal Chapter 190: Piper's Escape
(Piper POV)Luna Addie told Leo where I was. How could she do that? I really had thought that she had wanted to help me. Was I that bad a judge of character? I mean, yes, I had not completely trusted her …but I had trusted her a little bit… and I had never expected her to turn me over to Leo. Maybe she really did want to punish me for my relationship with Aiden, and her saying otherwise was just a lie.Goddess.No matter what, it was now clear that I could not trust anyone. Nor could I trust my own judgment.It was also clear that I needed to get out of Moon Shadow Pack. There was no way that I could stay now that Leo knew where I was.I raced as quickly as I could to my bedroom so that I could grab my duffle bag. Thankfully, I had not unpacked it at all and no one stopped me on the way to get it; everyone seemed busy with other tasks.Once I had my duffle bag, I went to Kade’s room on the next floor up to let him know that I was leaving. Despite being angry with me, I assum
