ALORA

My home hadn’t been this peaceful in a long time. Over the next few weeks, it had become my sanctuary. A place I no longer feared entering.

My parents and I had been working on our differences, and it felt like we had finally reached common ground. My father stood near the long dining table, sleeves rolled to his elbows, trying to help my mother with a basket of vegetables they’d insisted on bringing all the way for me. He was failing miserably.

“Dad,” I called, biting back a laugh. “You’re bruising the tomatoes.”

He turned immediately, eyes softening when he saw me. “Alora.”

Just my name. But it always felt deeper than that when he said it with such affection. Affection that I wasn’t used to.

He walked over, brushing a thumb across my cheek. “You look tired.”

“And you look like someone who should never handle vegetables,” I countered, pulling him into a hug.

He huffed a small laugh. “Still my daughter.”

“Always.” I stepped back and nudged his arm. He was silent for a beat. “He’

  • Alpha’s Betrayal: The rejected Luna’s Secret   CHAPTER 69

    ALORA4 YEARS LATERFour years.It didn’t sound like much when said out loud, but living it was different. Four years was enough time to learn the rhythm of peace, enough time to rebuild trust one small moment at a time, enough time to breathe without expecting the next disaster to roll in like a storm.Two years was enough to fall in love with life again.I watched the time pass in the eyes of my children. How they developed their little bodies and I heard their first words and they started to walk and run. And today, our life smelled like sunshine, damp earth, and the laughter of two toddlers who had absolutely no fear and no sense of caution whatsoever.“Ace! Storm! Get down from there before you fall and break something!” I called from the bench near the playground.Neither of them listened.Storm with her wild curls bouncing like she’d swallowed a thunderbolt, climbed the wooden fort with all the feral dedication of someone twice her size. Ace followed behind her, but unlike his

    LILITHI paced inside the small cage until my legs ached, until the cold metal made my fingers numb. They hadn’t fed me. They hadn’t spoken to me. They hadn’t even looked my way since Vale locked me in.Fucking cowards. All of them!They didn’t understand what I could offer, how much they needed me. They were too stupid, too rabid, and too loyal to a dead man who got himself caught in the first place.This wasn’t my fault.I wrapped my arms around myself, hating the tremor in my hands. “This is temporary,” I whispered. “They’ll come to their senses.”The wind didn’t agree. It howled through the camp, rattling the cage like it was laughing at me.Hours passed before footsteps approached.Vale.He came with two others… the woman with the braid and a smaller man with sharp eyes who looked like he hadn’t slept in days.They stopped in front of my cage.Vale crossed his arms. “Are you ready to talk?”“I’ve done nothing wrong,” I said immediately. “You’re all working off a rumor, and you’re

    LILITHI walked the remaining way through the forest with only one thought in my mind. Power.They would respect me once they saw me. They had to. Emory had trusted me more than he ever trusted any of them. He told me everything. He shared every plan, every strategy, and every weakness in Sebastian’s pack. I was the only one who could take his place.I was the only one worthy of that position. They might’ve never had a female Alpha before. But it was time.Branches scraped my arms as I pushed through the last line of trees, and then the rogue camp finally came into view — a wide clearing filled with tents, smoke, and wolves who froze the moment they saw me.A dozen pairs of eyes turned toward me.All hostile.Good. Let them stare.I straightened my back, tossed my hair back, and lifted my chin. “Well,” I announced, stepping into the clearing, “I see hospitality hasn’t improved since the last time I was here.”No one laughed or even said anything.A man I vaguely recognized with broad

    ALORA“I can’t believe she escaped.”I turned to Sebastian, feeling tired. “I can. It’s Lilith we’re talking about. Were you really expecting anything else? It’s just sad that she took that poor boy’s life with her.”“I don’t even know where to start. What am I supposed to do?” Sebastian said quietly.“I don’t know. She’s gone. Maybe we should just leave it at that. I know she’ll never truly be gone, but what else can we do? Utilizing soldiers to go out and find her will just be a waste of time and resources. Let her be. And if she comes back, we’ll deal with it.” I sighed. Sebastian was quiet for a long while before he spoke. “Are you okay?”I nodded absentmindedly. “Yeah, just tired.”“Right,” he fiddled with one of the kids' toys. “So… Killian left.”The mention of Killian’s name made me feel a small ache, but I pushed it away. “He did.”“It was nice what he did, driving you all the way.”I nodded once, still not tapping into the emotions I was feeling. “It was.”We were sitting i

    LILITHThe cell stank of iron and damp. I could taste rust in the air every time I breathed. The torches burned low, sputtering occasionally, throwing ugly orange shadows across the walls. The guards had stopped talking to me hours ago. I’d stopped trying to talk to them.It wasn’t worth wasting my voice.They thought I’d given up. That I was sitting here, broken and afraid, waiting for whatever punishment the Alpha decided. They didn’t know me at all.Alora’s words still rang in my head like the toll of a bell. “You murdered Anna.”The nerve. The sanctimonious, self-righteous—I smiled, even though no one could see me.They were all so predictable. Catherine with her false grace, Alora with her trembling pity, Sebastian with his hollow guilt. And that stupid Killian, standing there like the noble wolf come to save the day. They thought they’d cornered me.They hadn’t even begun to see what I was capable of.The guards outside my cell were whispering again. I caught bits of it — “Alph
