My Mate's Betrayal And Rejection 045: Calculated Bet
COBY’S POVAfter I left the clinic, I headed straight to our quarters, my steps quick and heavy, driven by a storm of emotions. The possibility that Vivian had a hand in the poisoning churned my stomach, tightening my chest with each stride. I didn't want to believe it, but the more I thought about it, the more the pieces clicked together.So this was her big plan to take Hannah down? Unbelievable. She had become even crazier than I thought. If I don’t stop her soon, she might get us all killed.I reached the door and threw it open with a force that rattled the frame. Inside, Vivian sat by the window, pressing an ice pack to her cheek. The pale light cast her in shadow, her face unreadable—until her eyes flicked up and met mine. They sparked with defiance, cold and sharp."Vivian," I growled, barely recognizing my own voice, rough and threatening.She didn’t flinch. Instead, she turned slowly toward me, her lip curling in disgust. "Keep your voice down, will you? What’s your problem?"

XAVIER'S POVA couple of days had passed since the food poisoning incident at the refugee camp, and still, I had no evidence, no leads, and no answers. The frustration inside me simmered like a low fire, each unanswered question stoking the flames.I paced the office, the thud of my footsteps echoing in the quiet space. Every step seemed to amplify the weight of my failure.Innocent people had suffered. Under my watch.Hannah was struggling. Every night she came home, her face pinched with worry, shoulders drooping. She had always been so strong, but this… this was breaking her. My chest tightened whenever I saw her like that.Why couldn’t I fix this?The council’s whispers weren’t helping either. Doubts about Hannah were spreading fast, like poison of their own. And that was unacceptable. My fists clenched at the thought. How dare they question her? My beast stirred beneath my skin, anger rippling through me.“Vivian,” I muttered, her name like bile in my mouth. My instincts screamed

COBY'S POVI stumbled out of Xavier's office, my lungs desperate for air. My throat burned where his hand had been, and I rubbed the bruised skin as I leaned against the hallway wall. The ache spread with each breath, but it wasn’t the physical pain that unsettled me.Xavier's strength, the raw power behind that grip, rattled me. It was unnerving—unexpected. I had underestimated him."Damn Lycan," I muttered, wincing as I tried to straighten up.I had underestimated his protectiveness toward Hannah. But I couldn’t back down now. Hannah wasn’t guilty—not yet. She was key to my plan. If I could manipulate things just right and get the council to believe she was guilty, then Xavier would be cornered.He’d have no choice but to bow to me. I’d get what I wanted, and he wouldn’t even see it coming. Vivian had laid out the path perfectly. Together, we would climb to the top, no longer living like outcasts.My footsteps echoed down the empty corridor as Xavier's fury lingered in my mind. His

ANDREW’S POVI watched Coby’s stiff back as he walked away, tension radiating off him. My chest tightened, a sense of unease creeping in. What is he hiding? His words echoed in my mind, deliberate and cold.“Loyalty comes first.”Loyalty to whom, though? The question rattled around in my skull. To Vivian or to the truth? I swallowed hard, suspicion gnawing at me. The pieces didn’t fit. Coby was acting strange, and Vivian... she was somehow tangled in all this. I just didn’t know how. If I’m going to do anything, I need proof.After training, my body screamed for rest. Every muscle ached, but my mind was relentless, circling back to Coby, Vivian, the poison. Nothing added up.“Damn it,” I muttered, scrubbing a hand through my hair. Maybe a shower will help.Back in my room, I peeled off my sweat-drenched clothes, feeling the weight of exhaustion. The cold water did its best to relax my body, but the knots in my stomach refused to untangle. No amount of scrubbing could wash away the dre

ANDREW'S POVThe thought hit me like a punch to the gut. I hadn’t felt anything like this since... well, since Hannah. But with Hannah, it was one-sided, unreciprocated. This felt different. Deeper. I couldn’t stop the questions from swirling in my mind as I tossed and turned, the tension in my body refusing to let me sleep until exhaustion finally pulled me under.The next morning came too soon. The sun’s early rays filtered through my window, and I knew I wouldn’t find any rest lying there. I needed to clear my head. Grabbing my clothes, I headed outside, the crisp morning air biting at my skin. My wolf stirred restlessly, eager to run, to stretch. Without a second thought, I shifted, feeling the familiar rush of power as my brown wolf took form.The forest welcomed me as I ran, the cool earth beneath my paws grounding me. Each stride burned away the restlessness, but the questions lingered. Why did I feel this pull toward Lily? What was happening to me?By the time I returned to wh
Last Updated : 2024-10-17My Mate's Betrayal And Rejection 050: The Accusation
HANNAH’S POVThe wind tugged at my hair, cold and biting, as I leaned against the balcony railing. The early morning chill wrapped itself around me, creeping into my bones. I tightened my grip on the cold metal beneath my fingers and stared at the horizon. Maybe, just maybe, the answers I sought would appear if I looked hard enough.But they didn’t.A knot of unease twisted in my chest, a weight that hadn’t lifted in days. My thoughts circled back to the council’s summons—an ever-present shadow. The accusations, the looming trial.The poisoned refugees. The wolves I had tried to help were now the cause of my trial, and despite my innocence, the truth felt just out of reach.“They’ll condemn you,” a small voice whispered in the back of my mind. “Just like they did before.”I squeezed my eyes shut, inhaling sharply, trying to quiet the voice. But fear clawed at me, refusing to be ignored.Later that day, I made my way to the clinic. My heart pounded against my ribs, my steps too quick,

Hannah’s POV"With the help of the doctor, an investigation was carried out on the victims," I said firmly, my voice steady despite the knot of tension in my chest. "The truth has revealed itself. You just have to take a look."The council murmured among themselves, a low buzz filling the chamber as I pulled out the doctor's report from my bag. My fingers brushed against the worn paper, feeling the weight of its significance. Lily, always quick to assist, handed it to Councilor Elijah, who accepted it with a nod."Honorable council," I continued, my eyes scanning the room, "I present this evidence to support my claims."A heavy silence fell as the councilors read the document, the only sound being the rustling of pages as they passed it along. I watched Elijah closely; his eyes moved over the words with sharp, focused intensity.Finally, Elijah spoke, his voice cutting through the silence. "The doctor's report and test results confirm wolf's bane and silver in deadly quantities."At t

Vivian's POVI could feel the heat rising in my chest, anger pushing at the seams. "Damn that stupid councilor, and every one of them," I muttered under my breath, fists clenched so tight my knuckles went white. How could they believe her so easily?The echo of Councilor Elijah’s voice gnawed at me: "A team will be formed to investigate and gather more evidence."My stomach twisted. They were buying into Hannah’s ridiculous theory. Worse, Andrew’s betrayal sealed it. His support tipped the scales. He was supposed to be loyal to his pack, to me—not her. Not now.I shot a seething look at Andrew from across the room, my glare sharp enough to cut through him. Traitor. His back was turned, pretending I didn’t exist. The coward.Coby sat beside me, his scowl mirroring mine, and I knew he felt the same. We were in this together, and now our alliance was hanging by a thread. The council’s prying eyes would uncover everything soon—my role in the poisoning, my plan to frame Hannah.But I could

My Mate's Betrayal And Rejection 082: Elijah's Exit
HANNAH’S POVThe moment Elijah stepped into the doorway, flanked by his men, my breath hitched. His presence was like a storm rolling in—dark and suffocating. My eyes locked onto his, and for a split second, the world narrowed to just him: his cold, calculating gaze, the cruel curve of his lips. My chest tightened as fear and anger clawed at my throat.“Step aside, girl,” Elijah said, his voice smooth but laced with venom. “Hand over the Luna and the boy. Do that, and I promise you won’t get hurt.”Taylor didn’t move. Her stance was steady, her voice like steel. “I’m not afraid of you, Elijah. Turn around and leave, or I’ll make you regret ever coming here.”Elijah chuckled, low and mocking. “I was hoping you’d say that. Now, I get to grant your wish.”With a flick of his hand, his men lunged forward. Taylor turned to me, her eyes blazing with determination. “Go back upstairs, Luna. Take Jackson. Stay there until I clear this. Don’t come down until I say it’s safe.”I nodded, my throa
My Mate's Betrayal And Rejection 081: Blood, Sweat And Silence
XAVIER’S POVThe battlefield was a storm of chaos—a whirlwind of snarls, blood, and desperation from both sides. My claws tore through flesh, my fangs dripped with the metallic tang of enemy blood, and my lungs burned with every ragged breath.The rogues and Lycans came in waves, relentless, their eyes wild with a hunger that bordered on madness but Ross was nowhere in sight. I don't want to believe he was hiding behind his army because that would be the height of cowardice.These set of rogues weren’t the usual stragglers we’d faced before. No, these were something darker, something angrier. And they just. Kept. Coming in their numbers. Good thing, Andrew and his warrior knew how to handle the rest of them and they were holding them back at the western border.Kas fought beside me, his movements sharp but slowing with each kill and strike, his Lycan precision no longer as accurate as I had hoped.I could feel it in the air, in the way his strikes lacked their usual precision. My ches
My Mate's Betrayal And Rejection 080: Home Invasion
HANNAH’S POVThe growls and screams of pack members outside clawed at my ears, each one a dagger twisting deeper into my chest. I couldn’t watch the massacre anymore. Warriors from both sides were falling, their lives snuffed out like candles in a storm.My heart ached for them—for the families who would never see their loved ones again. Everyone except Elijah and Ross. They deserved whatever hell awaited them. But Xavier… Kas… Andrew… Where were they? Out there, somewhere, fighting. Leading. Protected by their men, but still in the thick of it. The thought made my stomach churn.I turned away from the window, my hands trembling. The weight of it all pressed down on me, suffocating. I couldn’t bear to see another drop of blood spilled. Not tonight.Jackson squirmed in my arms, his tiny fists clutching at my shirt. His whimpers snapped me back to the present. “Shh, baby,” I whispered, rocking him gently. “It’s okay. Mommy’s here.”His wide, fearful eyes searched mine, and I forced a sm
My Mate's Betrayal And Rejection 079: Wake Up Call
HANNAH’S POVThe night had been perfect—soft, quiet, the kind of peace that sinks into your soul and makes you believe, just for a moment, that the world could be kind. I was curled up next to Xavier, his warmth wrapping around me, our breaths falling in sync as we slept. But that peace shattered in an instant.A piercing, excruciatingly loud alarm blared through the pack house. I jolted awake, my heart hammering in my chest. The obnoxious sound grated on my ears, and I winced, trying to get my bearings.What could have caused such a ruckus in the middle of the night? I glanced at Xavier beside me, but he was already up, standing at the side of the bed, his body rigid. His eyes had darkened, his jaw clenched tightly.Then it hit me like a punch to the gut—Ross.The alarm could only mean one thing: Ross and his men were here. My blood ran cold.Xavier growled deeply, the sound rumbling through the room and sending shivers down my spine. He stormed out of the bedroom, his movements fast
My Mate's Betrayal And Rejection 078: Sneak Attacks
Ross’s POVAs we advanced, I couldn’t help but think about how sweet it would be to see the fear in Xavier’s eyes, the realization that he couldn’t protect his pack, his precious little family. This wasn’t just an attack. This was personal.The further we moved into Shadow Moon Pack’s territory, the heavier the anticipation grew. The silence between us was palpable, broken only by the occasional whisper of leaves beneath our boots.My senses were on high alert, every nerve in my body tuned to the slightest sound or movement. But everything was still. Just the way I wanted it.As we neared the outer edges of the pack’s territory, I held up a hand, signaling the others to stop. Roman and Elijah froze instantly, their eyes fixed on me, waiting for my next move. I crouched low, scanning the area. I knew Xavier would have his best guards patrolling, but they weren’t expecting this—not yet.I motioned for Roman to scout ahead. He slipped into the shadows without a word, his movements so flu
My Mate's Betrayal And Rejection 077: Silent But Deadly
ROSS’S POVThe engine’s hum was a low, steady growl, matching the tension coiled in my chest. My fingers drummed against my thigh, each tap a silent countdown. Ten years. A decade of planning, of rage simmering beneath the surface, of dreams drenched in vengeance. And now, finally, it was here. The night Xavier would learn what it meant to lose everything.I glanced out the window. The road stretched endlessly ahead, swallowed by the shadows of towering trees. A cruel smile tugged at my lips. He had no idea what was coming. None of them did.Roman, my most trusted, sat behind the wheel, his grip tight on the leather, his jaw set in a hard line. His eyes were fixed on the road, but I could feel the anticipation radiating off him—sharp and electric. He was ready. We all were.In the back seat, Elijah sat quietly, his usual chatter replaced by a tense silence. But I could see the eager glint in his eyes, the way his fingers twitched restlessly against his knee. He was hungry for this, to
My Mate's Betrayal And Rejection 076: Neck Snaps And Speed Bumps
Coby’s POVI don’t know how long I was out, but when I finally came to, I was stuffed into the cramped trunk of a moving vehicle. I could tell by the smell of gasoline and the frequent speed bumps. My head throbbed, and every inch of my body ached from the earlier impacts.That fucking monster had broken my neck back there without a second thought. I was lucky to still be alive, but it was going to take a while for me and my wolf to recover completely. For now, I could only depend on myself to get out alive.As the car sped along, the salty taste of the air grew fainter, and I could smell pine and cedarwood, indicating a change of scenery. My jaw tightened as the reality of the situation set in—Ross was heading straight for Shadow Moon Pack. And there was nothing I could do to stop him. At least, not while I was stuck in the trunk of his car.I could feel the cold metal pressing against my skin and hear the hum of the engine as it barreled down the road. Fear clawed at my chest, but I
My Mate's Betrayal And Rejection 075: Friend Or Foe
COBY’S POVThe phone rang again, each tone going straight to voicemail. I kept trying, but it ended the same fucking way. It was insane. My jaw tightened, frustration bubbling under my skin. She had to know. She just had to. Time was slipping through my fingers like quicksand, and I couldn’t afford to lose any more of it.I cursed under my breath, the sound sharp in the empty room. My fingers trembled as I dialed Andrew’s number next. Maybe he could get to her. Maybe he could deliver my message to Xavier as well, and Xavier could take it from there.Andrew’s phone rang once, then twice, and then there was an answer. “Hello?” A woman’s voice, soft but firm, cut through my thoughts. Lily. Of course. Andrew’s girl.“Who is this?” she asked, her voice suspicious.I froze, the words catching in my throat. Should I explain? Could I trust her? My mind raced, but the clock in my head was ticking too fast. I didn’t have time for this. I didn’t have time for anything.I hung up without a word,
My Mate's Betrayal And Rejection : The Quiet That Screams
XAVIER’S POVThe security check was done. Every patrol was synchronized, and every entry point sealed. On paper, it was flawless. But the quiet—the fact that it was suddenly so quiet—unsettled me. I wished I knew what Ross was planning, but for the past few days, there had been no sign of him or his men anywhere near our pack.Silence from him wasn’t peace; it was a coiled spring, ready to snap. My fingers twitched as I pulled out my phone and dialed Taylor. Hannah and Jackson’s faces flashed in my mind, and my chest tightened painfully.“Alpha,” Taylor answered, her voice crisp and no-nonsense.“How is my family?” I asked, my tone clipped, betraying none of the storm inside.“They’re fine,” she said steadily. “Luna Hannah took Jackson to school. We’re back now. I’ve got eyes on her. Nothing’s out of place.”I exhaled slowly, the tension in my shoulders easing just a fraction. “Good. Stay sharp. If anything changes, you call me.”“Always,” she replied, her voice softening just enough
