My Mate's Betrayal And Rejection 082: Silent Threat
ANDREW’S POVAs I walked away from Hannah, a weight lifted almost instantly, like I’d been holding my breath for days and could finally exhale. A strange peace crept into my chest, loosening knots I hadn’t even realized were there.Her forgiveness wrapped around me, warm and gentle, and for once, the guilt that had shadowed me for so long began to fade. I tilted my head to the sky, breathing in the crisp air. The breeze was cool and refreshing, pushing away the last threads of tension that clung to me.After a few steps, I pulled out my phone, checking for a message from Lily. My thumb hovered over the screen as I frowned, realizing she hadn’t replied. I’d texted her first thing this morning—she usually answered right away.Why hadn’t she this time? Anxiety twisted inside me. What if something had happened? What if— My thumb hovered over her name, but just as I was about to call, I saw her.Lily stood across the street, but she wasn’t alone. A man stood close to her, his presence dark

ANDREW’S POVAs we walked, the tension between us eased, and Lily’s grip on my hand softened. Her fingers intertwined with mine—a silent reassurance—though questions still buzzed in my mind. What had Elder Elijah really wanted? And what was Lily hiding?Each question seemed to pull me deeper into a maze, but I pushed them aside, letting the gentle warmth of her hand ground me in the moment.“Lily, where are we going?” I finally asked, my voice quiet, blending with the rustle of leaves underfoot.She turned, a flicker of mischief in her eyes, her lips curving in a teasing smile. “Somewhere special,” she replied, shrugging playfully. “Or maybe nowhere at all. Does it matter?”I laughed softly, feeling my worries ease. “As long as I’m with you, I suppose it doesn’t.”We fell into a comfortable silence, her hand still warm in mine, as the pack’s homes faded behind us, giving way to rolling hills and the rugged edge of the territory. Soon, we reached a high rocky overlook, the entire villa

Lily’s POVAs I quickened my pace, each step struck the ground with a force that matched the pounding in my chest. Andrew’s voice called out behind me, soft but pleading. “Lily... wait.”But I couldn’t look back. His eyes had held something I wasn’t ready to face—an understanding, a compassion that felt too close, too much.The warmth of his hand still lingered on my wrist from when he’d tried to hold me back, grounding me for that one brief moment. But I tore away, needing distance. I needed to drown out his kindness before it softened me.“Lily,” his voice echoed once more, fainter this time as I rounded the corner. *Just keep moving.*Mom’s voice filled my head again, trembling, choked with a fear she didn’t need to spell out. I knew who she feared: Elder Elijah.The very name crawled under my skin like ice. How many years had his shadow hung over us, his threats leaving us caged, breathless, afraid to step out of line? I clenched my fists, the anger pushing me forward.The echo of

LILY’S POVI fought back a sob, forcing a strained smile. “It’s okay, Mom,” I lied. We both knew it wasn’t. Nothing about this was okay. Her face crumpled, an ocean of worry and fear etched into every line, deepened by my choice.I squared my shoulders, grabbed my bag, and pushed down the fear clawing up my throat. I had to protect her—no matter the cost. Without another word, I turned and left, the cold evening air biting at my skin as I made my way to Elder Elijah’s estate.The mansion loomed in the distance, each spire reaching toward the sky like skeletal fingers, casting shadows that seemed to grow longer, darker, as I approached. A familiar servant greeted me with a nod, his face blank and impassive, his voice monotone. “Elder Elijah is expecting you.”I nodded back, swallowing hard as he stepped aside, revealing a dim hallway that stretched toward a closed door. My pulse quickened, each beat hammering in my ears as I took slow, reluctant steps toward it. I stopped just outside,

**TRIGGER WARNING(None consensual scene)**LILY’S POVI stepped into the bathroom, feeling like I was dragging my feet through cement. Each step felt slower, heavier. I avoided my reflection at first, but my gaze drifted up—caught, almost unwillingly, by the face staring back at me.It didn’t feel like mine. I saw a girl hollowed out, the edges of her mouth pressed tight, eyes dark and glassy. A stranger. The weight of the silence pressed on me, and a prickle stung the back of my eyes, threatening tears. I clenched my jaw and swallowed. Not here. Not now.My gaze dropped to the counter, to the small pile of clothes waiting for me, mocking me with their presence. The underwear, stark against the cool surface, felt like some cruel emblem of this moment. It sat there, a thing I couldn’t escape, a command in fabric form.I took a shaky breath. My hand hovered over it, fingers twitching, reluctant to touch it, like it might burn. “You have to,” I murmured softly, the sound barely escaping

LILY’S POVAs I stumbled away from Elder Elijah’s house, my heart thundered wildly, each beat a raw reminder of what had happened. I could still feel the ghost of his touch crawling beneath my skin like a poison I couldn’t purge. The taste of him lingered in my mouth.I wanted to scream, to run, but my legs felt like lead. Where could I go? Home? My mother’s face flashed in my mind, her eyes filling with worry, her heart shattering once she knew. I couldn’t bear to see her look at me like that.I wiped away the tears with trembling fingers, willing myself to hold it together. Somehow, without even realizing it, I found myself outside Andrew’s quarters. My stomach twisted into untangleable knots.What would he think if he saw me like this—broken, hollow, smeared with the weight of someone taking advantage of me? I almost turned away, but before I could move, the door swung open.Andrew stood there, his expression softening the moment he saw me. He looked tired, his hair slightly mussed

ANDREW’S POVAs I held Lily close, her frail body trembling, her tears soaking into my shirt, a fire blazed inside me—a raw, consuming anger directed at that monster, Elijah. He was not fit to be an Elder. If anything, he should be hanged on a stake for everyone to see.I’d always sensed he was no good. The way he looked at Lily, his eyes crawling over her with a lecherous hunger, had never sat right with me. I thought I’d protected her before, interrupting his advances. But I’d been wrong.He was smarter and had other means. He’d attacked again—this time more viciously, with a deception I hadn’t foreseen. My jaw clenched, and a bitter taste filled my mouth. Why had I let her go? Why hadn’t I insisted on walking her home?“Andrew…” she murmured, her voice so faint I barely heard it. Her fingers curled weakly into my shirt, as if clinging to the last scraps of safety.I could feel her sorrow, her shame, and my heart ached, knowing that I hadn’t been there for her when she needed me.“L

Andrew’s POVI hesitated, feeling my stomach twist. My voice wavered slightly as I forced the words out. "He… he forced himself on her, Hannah. That monster… he hurt her, both physically and… emotionally. And I’m afraid this might not be the first time."Hannah’s face went pale, her jaw clenching so tightly I could see the muscle twitch. Her voice came out low, simmering with barely contained rage. "How do you know this?"I took a shaky breath, the memory of Lily’s broken voice flashing in my mind. "She told me. Came to me last night, shattered. Scared in a way I’d never seen before. She told me everything."Hannah’s gaze burned into mine, fierce and unyielding. "Andrew," she said, her voice a deadly whisper, "we’re going to handle this. I promise you."I felt the gravity of her words, but I forced myself to stay grounded. "But we need proof," I replied, feeling the weight of reality pressing down on us. "And we need to protect Lily and her mother. Elijah… he won’t stop until he’s des

XAVIER’S POVThe pack house buzzed with restless energy. Everywhere I turned, someone was hovering—bringing me water, adjusting the blankets around me, their eyes flickering with unspoken fear.I forced a smile, waving them off. "Come on, kids. It’s nothing serious," I insisted, my voice rougher than I intended. "I just need rest."But Hannah—Gods, Hannah—she saw right through me.Her fingers trembled as she brushed a strand of hair from my forehead, her deep blue eyes searching mine like she could pry the truth straight from my soul. "Xavier," she whispered, her voice barely audible. "Please."I swallowed hard, my throat dry. "I’m fine, love." The lie tasted bitter in my mouth.She didn’t believe me. Of course she didn’t. Within minutes, the pack doctor was summoned, his weathered hands pressing, prodding, listening. But when he stepped back, his frown only deepened.

My Mate's Betrayal And Rejection 112: Epilogue
XAVIER’S POVThree more years.Had it really been three more years since that day? Time slipped through my fingers like grains of sand, each moment fleeting, each memory a fragile thing. The morning air was crisp as I stretched, feeling the tension in my muscles ease.Today was a special day—one of those rare moments I got to spend alone with my little girl. While Jackson and Liam trained with the warriors, I had promised Laila a run through the woods.The shift came like a second breath—bones cracking, muscles reshaping, fur erupting across my skin. My Lycan form towered over her, massive and powerful, but to Laila? I was just her ride. Though she was already twelve years old, she was still my little girl as her small hands gripped my fur.“Ready, Daddy?” she chirped, fingers twitching at her sides like she could barely contain herself.I smirked, rolling my shoulders. “Hold on tight.” As soon as I felt she was secure, I took off, sprinting through the dense forest. Her laughter rang

He took everything seriously, from his training to his studies. Laila, on the other hand, was full of boundless energy.She was fierce, confident, and determined, much like Xavier and Jackson. Despite my gentle protests that training was for boys, she never listened."Mom, I can do anything Jackson and Liam can do!" she would say, hands on her hips, her bright eyes glowing with determination.I sighed, trying once more to reason with her. "Sweetheart, training is tough. It's dangerous and—""I don't care!" she interrupted, shaking her head. "I want to be strong like Daddy and my brothers. Just watc

My Mate's Betrayal And Rejection 109: Massive Meltdown
HANNAH’S POVAs usual, pack members and friends came in their numbers to welcome our bundle of joy. The twins were three weeks old when the first real storm hit.Not the kind with thunder and lightning—though the sky outside the packhouse had been a brooding gray all day—but the kind that brewed in the quiet spaces between exhaustion and overwhelming love.Laila had been fussing for hours, her tiny face scrunched in displeasure, her cries sharp enough to make my bones ache. Liam, usually the calmer of the two, had picked up on her distress, his whimpers joining hers in a relentless chorus.I swayed gently in the rocking chair, Laila pressed against my chest, her tiny fingers tangled in the fabric of my shirt. My eyelids felt like lead, my body still healing—still sore in ways I hadn’t expected.“Shhh, sweet girl,” I murmured, running a hand over her downy hair. “Mama’s here.”But she only cried harder, her little body trembling.Across the room, Xavier paced with Liam in his arms, his
My Mate's Betrayal And Rejection 108: Newborns
HANNAH’S POVThe days after Laila and Liam’s birth melted into a fog of exhaustion, wonder, and a love so fierce it hurt. Our home, once a steady hum of three, now thrummed with the wild, beautiful chaos of five—tiny hiccupping cries, Jackson’s excited footsteps pounding down the hall, Xavier’s deep, soothing voice murmuring promises as he moved through the house, always there, always knowing what we needed before we did.The morning after we were discharged from the hospital, I woke to the soft, uneven whimpers of the twins. My body ached, muscles still trembling from the ordeal, my mind heavy with a tiredness that seeped into my bones. But when I turned my head, Xavier was already there—his broad arms lifting them from their crib as gently as if they were made of glass."Shhh, my loves," he whispered, his voice thick with sleep but impossibly gentle. He cradled them against his chest, one in each arm, his thumbs brushing their flushed cheeks. "Let your mama rest a little longer, yea
My Mate's Betrayal And Rejection 107: Cribs And Contraction
HANNAH’S POVThe soft morning light filtered through the sheer curtains of the nursery, casting a gentle glow over the tiny cribs, the plush stuffed animals, and the freshly painted walls.I ran my fingers along the edge of the changing table, adjusting the neatly folded blankets again—though they were already perfect. My heart fluttered at the thought of the twins finally coming home. Our home.“Just a little longer now,” I whispered, a smile tugging at the corner of my lips.I picked up a small stuffed wolf, turning it over in my hands before placing it carefully beside its twin—when suddenly, warmth rushed down my legs, soaking through my dress.My breath hitched. “Oh.”A sharp cramp twisted low in my belly, stealing the air from my lungs. My fingers dug into the edge of the crib as another wave of pressure rolled through me. “It’s happening.”“Jackson!” I called, forcing my voice to stay steady even as my pulse roared in my ears.The door burst open seconds later, my son’s wide, wo
