All Chapters of Betrayed by fated, Chased by his half-brother: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Ryker“Alpha, Dante has come here. We’ll go together from here,” Xander informs me, roaring the engine back to life. I nod at him, casting a quick glance at Azura beside me. Her hands are clenched tightly in her lap, her knuckles white with tension. Her jaw is set, and her eyes are distant. She's not just anxious—she's bracing herself for what's coming. I can’t blame her. Elysia and Dante’s lives are hanging in the balance, and Dante’s fear has escalated the situation to a breaking point. And amidst all this, there’s still so much left unsaid between us.The car accelerates through the pack grounds, the landscape rushing by in a blur of trees and dirt roads. The sounds of the guards and warriors of the pack fade into the distance—the training grounds, the chatter of pack members—until all that’s left is the low hum of the engine and the steady rhythm of Azura’s breathing. She’s trying to hold it together, but every sharp intake of breath gives away the worry etched deep into her bones.

AzuraThe forest blurs by in a haze of green and shadow as we speed down the winding road, the tires of Dante’s car skidding across the wet dirt. My heart races in sync with the rumble of the engine, the aftermath of the battle still pounding in my veins. Ryker suggested that we ride in Dante’s car with him. Although I hadn’t expected to be that thoughtful and caring for his Beta, I can’t help but feel proud of him.My mind is restless, jumping between the image of Elysia, vulnerable and in danger, and the power I unleashed back there. The magic is still lingering beneath my skin, a quiet hum in my blood, but my body is exhausted.None of us are talking about my strange powers, and I’m relieved to see their indifference because their questions would have made me feel uncomfortable and frustrated. I myself don’t know how I was able to have the powers that didn’t seem like werewolves. Dante’s hands grip the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles white as he pushes the car faster. Every n

AzuraThe soft morning light streams through the curtains as I stretch lazily, feeling the remnants of warmth from where Ryker had been beside me. I blink, sitting up in bed and glancing around the room. His cinnamon scent lingers in the air, making my heart race despite the early hour. I look down at the oversized t-shirt and shorts that he lent me; the fabric is far too big for my frame. It smells like him—woodsy and comforting.I sigh, knowing I’ll have to face everyone downstairs in his clothes. It’s not exactly how I wanted to make my morning debut, but what choice do I have?After quickly running a brush through my hair, I step out of the room and head downstairs, my bare feet padding quietly across the floor. As I reach the dining room, the clattering of dishes and the sound of conversation fill the air. I hesitate at the doorway for a moment, but then I steel myself and walk in.The moment I step into the room, the chatter dies down, and all eyes turn to me. Ryker’s grandmothe

AzuraI can’t help but feel a pang of guilt gnawing at me as I sit quietly, picking at my food. Ryker’s question echoes in my mind. Did you not like the dress I bought for you? How could I have missed that? A part of me feels bad for not going to his room and checking out the dress earlier. He looked so hurt, but he was quick to mask it over with a smile when he got to know that I hadn’t seen it.I glance at him across the room as he chats with some of the warriors; he is looking so hot in that suit. Of course, the women would throw themselves at him. I scan the venue and find the girls staring at him with lovesick eyes. Sighing, I grab my glass of red wine that Xander had brought for me, only to spill it onto my dress accidentally. “Oh no!” I mutter under my breath, blotting at the grease stain with a napkin. Of all the times to be clumsy. As I try to clean it with the tissue, the stain doesn’t go away; it spreads on my dress. My wolf smirks at me; you did it intentionally. I sho

Ryker “Put me down, Ryker!” She snaps, her voice laced with fury, but I’m already halfway up the stairs, my steps heavy with intent. I don’t stop until I reach my bedroom door, and with one swift kick, I push it open. The sound echoes in the quiet hallway as I stride in, locking the door behind me.I toss her onto the bed, her body bouncing slightly against the mattress, but she quickly scrambles to her feet and tries to run away. Before she can make another move, I’m in front of her, pinning her against the wall, trapping her between my body and the cold surface behind her. Her breath hitches, her eyes wide with a mix of shock and something else—something that matches the heat blazing in my chest.“You want to know what I want, Azura?” I growl, my voice low as I lean in closer, my lips inches from hers. “I want you to stop pushing me away. I want you to stop acting like you don’t feel this, too.”Her breathing quickens, and for a split second, I see a flicker of uncertainty in her e
