My Mate's Betrayal And Rejection 049: A Distraction Named Lily
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

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

VIVIAN’S POV"Is that so?" I asked, tilting my head, trying to read the flicker behind Eva's eyes. Her lips curled into a playful smirk—the kind that never quite reached her eyes.She nodded, slow and deliberate. "I can be of great help to you." Her voice was smooth, with a quiet undertone that felt like a trap, a secret wrapped in silk.I crossed my arms, narrowing my gaze. "What kind of help?" I demanded, liking exactly where this was going.Her grin widened, like she had just pulled the strings of a marionette. She stepped closer, lowering her voice to a near whisper, the intimacy of her words prickling my skin. "The kind that can bring Luna Hannah down. But first," she paused, her eyes gleaming, "you have to become my friend."I felt my muscles tense. "What's in it for you?" My voice was sharper now, suspicion laced into every syllable.Eva shrugged, her eyes never leaving mine. "Mutual benefits. You want her gone, and I do too." She leaned in, her breath warm against my ear. "If

COBY'S POVI watched Andrew walk away, the silence between us shattered by Vivian’s voice. It cracked like a whip—sharp and angry."Have you lost your damn mind, Coby?" she snapped, her arms crossed so tightly over her chest that it seemed like she was holding herself together."We will see," I said simply."Explain yourself, or I swear, you'll have me to contend with," she pushed.I exhaled slowly, forcing calm into my voice, though my mind was already swimming in a pool of rage. "Trust me, Vivian," I said, turning my head slightly to meet her gaze. "I'm not about to forgive Andrew for his betrayal. Not that easily."Her eyes flickered, narrowing as she leaned closer, suspicion tightening her features. "Then why even meet with him?" she demanded, her words biting, daring me to explain, to give her something she could cling to—something that made sense.A faint smile tugged at the corner of my mouth. I glanced away from her, looking out into the distance."Because he needs a reminder,

ANDREW’S POVI gazed up at Coby, my heart pounding so hard it felt like it might tear through my chest. Every beat echoed in my ears as I looked into his eyes, trying to find the courage to say what I had to.My throat tightened, and the words clung there, thick and suffocating. "Hannah has a son," I whispered, my voice barely escaping. The confession felt like a blade in my throat.His face shifted. The sharp, unwavering confidence he always carried faltered. For the first time, I saw something behind his eyes—something fragile, cracking beneath the surface. Fear? Shock? I wasn’t sure, but his expression chilled me. His skin lost its color."What?" he growled, his voice low and dangerous—the kind that sent a shiver down my spine. His hand tightened around the dagger, knuckles turning white. I swallowed, the weight of my next words making my knees weak."The child... is yours too," I forced out, the truth heavy on my tongue. Each word felt like it was being ripped out of me. I held my

ANDREW'S POVWhen I opened my eyes the next morning, I didn’t expect to see Lily slumped beside my bed, her head resting on the edge of the mattress, her body twisted awkwardly in the chair.Her dark hair, tangled and unkempt, spilled across her face, hiding her strained expression. The sight tugged at something inside me—a warmth, a kind of gratitude that she stayed.I reached out instinctively, my fingers hovering above her shoulder, about to wake her gently. But then, her lips parted, and a quiet, broken sound escaped.“No—no, please stop,” she whimpered, her voice laced with terror. Her face contorted, deep lines creasing her forehead as if she were fighting something in her sleep.My heart lurched. “Lily, hey,” I whispered softly, placing my hand on her arm and shaking her gently. “It’s just a dream. Wake up.”Her body tensed further, her hands clenching into fists, and my worry grew. I shook her again, more urgently this time. “Lily!”Suddenly, her eyes flew open, wide and unfoc

My Mate's Betrayal And Rejection 066: Expectant Paranoia
XAVIER’S POVThe moment Hannah told me she was pregnant, the world seemed to stop. A rush of joy—raw and electric—surged through me, so intense it stole my breath. My heart pounded in my chest, and for a second, I couldn’t speak.Another baby. A piece of us.I pulled her into my arms, holding her so tightly I worried I might hurt her. But she laughed—a sound so light and full of hope it made my chest ache. I kissed her, my hands trembling against her face, and for that one perfect moment, everything else faded away.But as we left the hospital, the joy began to crack.Ross.The name slithered into my mind like a snake, cold and unrelenting. My stomach twisted, and I clenched my fists to keep them from shaking. He was out there. Watching. Waiting. The thought of him anywhere near Hannah, near Jackson—near this new life growing inside her—made my blood run cold.I could almost see his face: that cruel smirk, those empty, cold eyes. My jaw tightened, and I forced myself to breathe, to ke
My Mate's Betrayal And Rejection 065: Positive Test
Hannah’s POVThe thought made me smile, but I didn’t want to get ahead of myself. I needed to be sure before I said anything to Xavier. The last thing I wanted was to raise his hopes—or mine—if it wasn’t true. Still, the possibility made me feel warm inside, and I couldn’t help but imagine another child, a sibling for Jackson.Once I was dressed, I found Xavier already waiting for me, his eyes watching my every move. He didn’t say much, but the way he hovered close to me, the gentle touches on my arm and back, spoke volumes. He was worried, though trying to hide it. I could tell.As we headed downstairs, I kept thinking about that small possibility—could I really be pregnant?Jackson was still fast asleep when we peeked into his room. His little body was curled up under the blankets, clutching his stuffed bunny. I smiled at the sight, but my thoughts wandered to how different things could be soon if there was a new addition to the family. The idea made my heart flutter."Let’s go befo
My Mate's Betrayal And Rejection 064: Stubble, Smooches, And Stomach Surprises
HANNAH’S POVI stirred awake the next morning, feeling the warmth of Xavier’s body beside me. His lips brushed against my cheek, trailing down to my collarbone, and I smiled before my eyes even opened. When they did, he was there—his face inches from mine, his dark emerald eyes crinkling at the corners as he grinned down at me.“Good morning, beautiful,” he murmured, his voice low and rough with sleep.I reached up to touch his face, my fingers grazing the stubble along his jaw. “Morning,” I whispered back, my voice still thick with sleep.He leaned in, his lips hovering over mine, but I turned my face away with a playful squeal. “Xavier, no! I haven’t brushed my teeth yet.”He chuckled, the sound warm and rich, and I felt it vibrate through his chest. “I don’t care,” he said, his breath tickling my ear. “You’re still you.”Before I could protest again, his lips found mine—soft and insistent. I melted into him, my hands sliding up to tangle in his hair. His kiss was slow and deliberat
My Mate's Betrayal And Rejection 063: Late Night Mystery
HANNAH’S POVThe dinner table felt too big tonight. The empty chair across from me glared like an accusation. The food in front of me had long lost its steam—the mashed potatoes hardening at the edges, the chicken growing cold.It wasn’t like him to be late, not like this. He’d been so absorbed in finding Elijah ever since he disappeared, and I understood the toll it was taking on him. He wouldn’t let it go until he found the truth, no matter how long it took. But tonight… something felt off. I couldn’t shake the feeling that it wasn’t just about Elijah.I sighed softly, a mix of frustration and worry swirling inside me. I’d been waiting so long, hoping for a message, for any sign that he was coming home soon. Just as I was about to call him, my phone buzzed on the table. My heart leaped as I saw it was a message from Xavier.“I won’t be home for dinner. Don’t wait up. Kiss Jackson goodnight for me.”I stared at the message, my chest tightening. Another long night without him. But I u
My Mate's Betrayal And Rejection 062: Claws And Regrets
XAVIER’S POVThe door clicked softly as Kas left, but the sound barely registered. My mind was already unraveling, pulled back into the past by a force I couldn’t fight. The office—its polished wood, the faint scent of ink and leather—faded into nothingness.All I could see was her. Laila. My baby sister. Her face, so full of life, so full of light, flashed before me, and the ache in my chest—the one that never truly left—flared like a fresh wound.“Xavier, you’re being unreasonable!” Her voice echoed in my mind, sharp and pleading all at once. I could still see her standing there, hands on her hips, those wide, gentle eyes blazing with frustration. “Ross isn’t the monster you think he is. He’s my mate, Xavier. My mate. Don’t you understand what that means?”I clenched my fists, my jaw tightening as I glared at her. “I understand perfectly, Laila. I understand that the Moon Goddess made a mistake. Ross is a killer, a predator. He thrives on chaos and bloodshed. You’re too good for him
My Mate's Betrayal And Rejection 061: Ally Collector
XAVIER’S POVThe sun was starting to set as I stood by the window in my office, my fingers gripping the sill until my knuckles turned white. The view below should have been comforting—the sprawling territory of the Shadow Moon Pack, alive with movement and purpose. But today, it felt like a taunt. Everything was as it should be, except for the one thing that wasn’t.Elijah.He was still gone. Vanished. Like a ghost.My men had scoured every inch of the territory, chased every lead, but he’d slipped through our fingers again and again. And now? Nothing. Not a trace. Not a whisper. It was as if the earth had swallowed him whole. The frustration gnawed at me, a relentless ache in my chest. I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was failing everyone.Elijah wasn’t the first to disappear. Alpha Coby had done the same—vanished into thin air after being found guilty of Vivian’s murder. One moment he was there, and the next… gone. Like smoke. I’d sent messages to every neighboring pack, called i
My Mate's Betrayal And Rejection 060: Keeping Secrets
COBY’S POVThe moment I saw him, my breath hitched, and the world seemed to tilt. Elijah. That name alone was enough to make my blood boil with rage. My chest tightened, and my pulse thundered in my ears like a war drum.What the hell was that old geezer doing here? My stomach churned, bile rising in my throat as memories of Shadow Moon clawed their way to the surface—Vivian’s lifeless body, Hannah’s betrayed eyes, the lies I’d spun to survive. I thought I’d left it all behind. I thought I was safe here.But now, standing there in the corner, Elijah was a living reminder of everything I’d tried to bury. His presence was a threat, a ticking bomb waiting to explode. If he told Alpha Ross the truth—who I really was, what I’d done—I’d lose everything. My stomach twisted into knots, panic gnawing at the edges of my mind. I couldn’t let that happen.I stayed hidden, my back pressed against the rough edges of the pack house, watching as the guards led Elijah to one of the guest cabins. The a
My Mate's Betrayal And Rejection 059: Laughter And Lookalike
ELIJAH’S POVFor a moment, Ross stared at me in silence, his expression unreadable. Then, without warning, he burst into laughter—loud, deep, and unsettling. It filled the room, reverberating off the stone walls.The sound was so unexpected and jarring that I stood frozen, unsure whether he was genuinely amused or if he had suddenly gone mad. The laughter stretched on, and the guards exchanged uneasy glances, as if they too weren’t sure what to make of it.Just as abruptly as it had started, the laughter stopped. Ross’s face hardened, and the coldness returned to his eyes, sharper than before. “How… predictable,” he said, his voice now devoid of any humor.He flicked his hand dismissively at the guards. “Take him away.”The guard at my side motioned for me to follow, and I turned quickly, eager to leave the room before Ross’s mood shifted again. As I walked away, the sound of his laughter still echoed faintly in my ears—a dark reminder that I was now in the company of a man as dangero
