Lahat ng Kabanata ng Betrayed By The Alpha: A Rejected Mate's Vow Of Revenge: Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

KARA I paused. “I don’t have to say it now, I want her to suffer slowly, not like this, this is not the best way to make her pay.” I muttered to myself.“What were you saying?” Kieran asked.I smirked “Ronan here, looks exactly like his mom.” I said as I turned my gaze back to Izzy.“You were about to say something, why did you stop?” Luna Anderson asked.I smirked and then took a few steps back. “I will talk about it some other time, today is not the time.” I said with a wide smile, Izzy watched as I walked away but there was nothing she could do.“You did a great job over there.” Linda finally admitted, her voice begrudging but firm.I raised an eyebrow, my arms crossed. “Thought you didn’t like me.”“I still don’t,” she replied flatly. “But I’m doing this for Zarek.”Her words stung more than I expected, but I shrugged it off. Whatever. I wasn’t here to make friends.“What were you about to say earlier?” Linda asked.“I wanted to explode Izzy, but that wasn’t the right time to do

KARA“You’re sure?”Zarek’s voice was low, but there was no mistaking the tension in it. His dark eyes were locked onto the horizon, his jaw set. The weight of what he had just realized pressed into his chest like a vice.Linda crossed her arms. “You marked her without her knowing?”Zarek didn’t move. He didn’t need to. The answer was clear.Linda swore under her breath. “And now you know exactly where she is.”Zarek nodded once. “Leo has her.”Linda, who had been leaning against the training post, straightened. “Then let’s go get her.”Zarek shook his head. “Not you. You’re injured.”Linda scoffed. “Since when do you care about injuries?”“Since I know Leo would tear you apart before you even reached his gates,” Zarek shot back. His tone wasn’t cruel, just factual.Linda clenched her jaw but said nothing. She knew he was right.Delilah stepped forward. “Then I’ll go.”Zarek hesitated. He didn’t trust Delilah, not fully. But she was the only one capable of standing in front of Leo wit

“Izzy, after everything you’ve done for Kieran, this is what you get?” Kimmelly’s voice was sharp, laced with disbelief. “You killed for him, you burnt for him. You ruined your life for him. And he’s still choosing her.”“Don’t turn my mind into what I don’t want.” Izzy said.Kimmelly smirked. “But you see, I am not lying, you could feel it, you know Kieran is changing or maybe he used you, he killed your brother Izzy and you are letting him live?”“I was glad he killed my brother back then because my brother isn’t my brother, he is my step brother and he is charge of the pack and I don’t want that, Zarek is bound to be the Alpha king and I don’t want him to be the king, I want to be the one sitting on that, I want the Alpha’s to bow for me.” Izzy said.“Females don't become the king, you can only rule with your mate by your side.” Kimmelly said, her voice barely above a whisper.“If Zarek is alive again, that ruins my plan, Zarek will kill Kieran and my main goal right now is to kill

That got his attention.Leo stilled. His gaze sharpened, and for the first time, real emotion flickered across his face.“What did you say?”“Zarek is alive. My brother is alive. He would never let you touch her.” Izzy took a step closer, pressing forward. “But I can give him to you. And Kieran. The leaders of two of the strongest packs. I can pave the way for you to kill them both or act as your spy.”Leo exhaled slowly, leaning back. The flickering torches on the cave walls cast shadows across his face, making it impossible to read his expression.Then, finally, he spoke.“I don’t need you for that. I can take them down on my own.” His voice was calm, but firm. “And do not touch my girl.”Izzy tilted her head, studying him.Then, she smirked.“Your obsession is going to destroy you again.”Leo’s fingers twitched against the armrest of his throne.Izzy took another step forward. “Tell me, Leo… does she remind you of her?”Leo’s expression darkened.Bullseye.“Your mate.” Izzy’s voice

KARAI woke up to warmth.For a second, I didn’t know where I was. The bed beneath me was softer than anything I was used to, and the scent surrounding me was familiar—woodsy, dark, with a hint of something untamed.Then I realized—Zarek’s arm was draped over my waist.I stiffened.Slowly, I turned my head.He was still asleep. His breathing was steady, his face relaxed in a way I’d never seen before. The sharp edges of his features were softer like this. Peaceful.I blinked.Holy shit.I was in bed with Zarek.Fully clothed, sure. But still.What the hell happened last night?Memories flashed—being drenched in the fountain, Zarek carrying me inside, wrapping me in blankets… I must have fallen asleep before he left.Except—He never left.I carefully tried to move his arm off me, but the second I shifted, his grip tightened.Great.I swallowed. “Uh, Zarek?”No response.I poked his arm. “Zarek.”Still nothing.Was he really that deep of a sleeper?I hesitated—then made the mistake of
