Semua Bab Sacrificed by My Mate, Now I Make Him Pay: Bab 1 - Bab 10

My fated mate, Kieran, had purposely delayed our son’s rescue, all so he could give my son’s heart to the bastard daughter he had with his mistress.The hushed murmurs outside the door faded, replaced by the rhythmic thud of approaching footsteps. I instinctively lay still, my breath slow and steady, feigning unconsciousness.The door creaked open, and the moment it did, I caught his scent—Kieran. His presence was unmistakable. He moved closer, the heat of his body radiating against my skin before his fingers brushed over my cheek with deceptive tenderness."Didn’t you say Luna Selene’s condition was stable?" His voice was sharp, demanding. "Why hasn’t she woken up?"A brief pause, then the measured voice of Evan, the pack doctor, followed."Alpha, Luna has only just recovered from nearly drowning. And after the—" a hesitation, a wary exhale, "the eye removal surgery you ordered… she will need time to regain consciousness."What?My mind reeled. Eye removal surgery?I fought against th

And the moment I stepped inside, the scent of my son was gone.Erased.As if Tim had never existed.I stopped. "Damon.""Yes, Luna?""Where are Tim’s things? Did Kieran get rid of them?"A long pause."Yes, Luna. Alpha thought… if you could still smell him, it would only bring you more pain. He ordered us to clear out all of Tim’s clothes and toys."How dare he. My fingers curled into a fist.Looking back now, there had always been signs. Every year, around this time, Kieran would leave for a 'business trip,' traveling across the nation to visit other packs.I had been foolish enough to believe him.Those trips—They were never for business. They were for Lilith and Ana.And while my son—our son—waited patiently for his father to return, Kieran ignored him.Tim, ever gentle, ever selfless, never complained. He never once demanded Kieran’s presence on his birthday. And yet, Kieran had still chosen Ana.Every. Single. Year.…Guided by memory, I made my way to Kieran’s study.My hands ski

Selene’s POVI couldn’t hold back any longer. I slapped Lilith. The slap was loud and fierce. She stumbled, her head tilting to the side, but her smile never faded.Kieran rushed to her side, fury in his eyes as he pushed me back. “What the hell is wrong with you? How could I have such a disgraceful Luna? Attacking your own pack member like that?”His words fell on deaf ears as I watched the small urn containing Tim’s ashes crash to the floor, shattering into pieces. His ashes scattered like dust across the ground. My heart felt as though it had shattered with them.I stood tall, my eyes burning with unshed tears and unspent rage. I grabbed Kieran by the collar, pulling him close as I finally lost control. “For fuck’s sake, Kieran—do you have any idea what was in that box?”He looked stunned by my aggression, but he wrenched my hand away with a sneer. “I don’t care what’s in that sick box. You’ve ruined Ana’s birthday, you hit Lilith, and now you’re losing your mind. Apologize to them,

Kieran’s POVDays passed, and despite using every resource at my disposal, I couldn’t find Selene. It was as if she had vanished into thin air.When I returned to our old home, there was nothing left—no clothes, no traces of her presence, not even the faintest hint of her scent.My wolf grew restless, its unease sinking deeper with each passing moment. The bond was weakening without its mate, and I could feel the drain on my body, on my soul.I couldn’t stop replaying the day Selene had shown up at the door with that wooden box in her arms. The more I thought about it, the more I felt like something was missing, like there was a piece of the puzzle I hadn’t seen.I called Damon, my Beta, to report anything unusual about that day, any detail that could shed light on where Selene might have gone.“Alpha,” Damon said, “Luna Selene went to the forest for a while. Later, she headed to the trash pit with her brother.”The forest. My heart clenched in an instant. I called the forest keeper im

Kieran’s POVI had been living in denial, convincing myself that everything would somehow work out, but this—this was the brutal truth. I had betrayed her, betrayed my own blood.And Selene’s words had struck deep, like a blade cutting through the very core of everything I had built.Damon's voice came out soft, “Alpha, we need to make a choice.”The weight of the decision pressed down on me, suffocating. I could feel the years of my leadership, the lives I had fought for, the pack we had become, all teetering on the edge of a precipice. But I couldn’t allow my wolves to suffer just because my mistakes. Selene wouldn’t want it either. That was why she’s given them a choice. She wanted me to suffer, to pay back, not our pack members who had done nothing wrong.After what felt like an eternity, I found the resolve I needed. I walked over to Selene, my voice steady but strained. “I’m not giving my people a war. I owe you this. Take those wolves away, and I am your prisoner. Whether you
