All Chapters of Betrayed Bonds: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The Omegas fussed around us as we sat down at the dinner table, and I couldn't help but steal glances at Dion. I had known him for years, but it never failed to amaze me how handsome he was. His chiselled features and piercing blue eyes seemed to captivate everyone in the room. I sipped some more wine to calm my fluttering heart. During the meal, Dion put down his fork and looked at me earnestly. "Kiana, thank you for managing the pack so well. Your strength and leadership have been a true blessing to us."I blushed, my fingers picking nervously at the edge of her napkin beneath the table. "Thank you, Dion. It's an honour to serve the pack."I had been rehearsing this moment in my mind for months, and now it was here. I picked at my napkin. While I contemplated how to confess, Dion continued drinking. His eyes never left mine."Dion, I think you have had enough," I said. He chuckled softly; his voice laced with amusement."Don't worry about me. I can handle a few more drinks." A

It had been two years since we had seen each other."How have you been, Kiana?" Alessia asked, hugging me.Given our complicated history, I had expected a more distant reception. In a daze, I somehow mustered a polite reply: "I've been well, Alessia. Thanks for asking. It's great to see you again."My attention drifted towards Dion. Probably eyes gave away my true feelings as they locked onto Dion, filled with a cold, lingering stare. The unspoken history between Dion and Alessia cast a shadow over my mood. "I missed you so much, Kiana." Alessia beamed. "You look beautiful. Is that gown from Dolce and Gabbana?I gave an empty smile. "Thank you, Alessia; where have you been all this time?" I tried to redirect the conversation away from my appearance."Oh, I was travelling here and there, trying to discover myself." Alessia's response only heightened the tension in the room, as it reminded me of the distance that had grown between Dion and me. He was still quietly staring at Alessia. I

A heavy silence lingered between us as Dion avoided my gaze, his eyes distant and evasive. "Yes, I hope you can understand," he finally murmured.I sneered, with a bitter edge to my tone. "Understand? How can I understand when everything has become a twisted mess?"My voice was quivering with a mix of frustration and hurt. "For over two years, I've worked hard, believing that you would notice me if I just kept trying. Why did everything changes when Alessia came back?"Dion sighed, his shoulders sagging as if under the weight of his own decisions. "Kiana, it's not that simple. I made a promise to Alessia, and I wanted to fulfil it."I couldn't bear to let him finish. Interrupting him, I shook my head in disbelief, feeling a sense of discouragement settle in. "A promise to Alessia? Is that all you care about? What about me?"Dion hesitated. "What has this got to do with you, Kiana?" I don't understand why you are being so unreasonable."I cut him off. "Unreasonable? Dion, I was so stu

I left the pack behind, a choice I had never imagined I'd have to make. I couldn't stay with Dion any longer, not after what had transpired. I could get through the physical and mental pain of my miscarriage, thanks to my powerful ability to heal. I was proud of how strong I was because I was now standing on my own, ready to face a future I couldn't quite picture. I had never been on my own. But I knew enough about the humans to survive. I had some money, so I boarded the first bus I saw, heading towards a city I had never been to before.I arrived in the small, quaint town of Springdale. The town, nestled between rolling hills and dotted with charming cottages, seemed frozen in time—a perfect destination for tourists seeking a break from the hustle and bustle of city life. Little did they know that I, too, was seeking a fresh start, a chance to redefine myself beyond the shadows of my past.My first goal was simple—to find a job that would allow me to sustain myself. The windows of a

Dion I awoke as usual; the days passing with an uncanny routine after Kiana's disappearance. I continued with the routines that defined my existence, preserving the picture-perfect Alpha persona.Reports came in, business partners were met, and worried directors were given advice from experts. In the afternoons, I was always on time for meetings, and I was happy with how they turned out, which was up to my high standards. Even the extra worry of border disputes didn't interest me much; I just watched what was going on without feeling like I had to get involved. It all seemed pointless and unimportant.When I returned, Gary, my butler, offered apologies and bowed deeply, sensing the disappointment in my gaze. He had found no leads about Kiana's disappearance. I reiterated my command to find them, uninterested in hearing excuses."But, my Alpha-" he began, but I cut him off, dismissing his failure. "It's simply impossible for anyone to disappear without a single trace."I closed my ey
