Genaro’s Point of View

I knew it was her before I reached the door.

Her scent,

clear.

Distinct.

Impossible to mistake.

I followed it without slowing.

Without thinking.

Until it stopped.

Right outside his room.

I froze.

For a second,

just one,

something in me hesitated.

The door stood closed.

Silent.

But the air around it felt wrong.

Too thick.

Too still.

My jaw tightened.

Because I already knew.

Or thought I did.

And that thought,

burned.

She had been his mate.

Not long ago.

  • Beautiful Betrayal   Chapter 35: The Truth

    Azerbel's Point of View"What does it mean to be the alpha's woman?"The question slipped out before I could stop it.Curiosity won.Over fear.Over pride.Genaro wasn't going to answer me.So I found someone who would."You don't know?" the woman asked, surprise flashing across her face.Then she paused.As if she suddenly remembered where I came from."Oh... forgive me."I waved my hand."It's alright. Please... just tell me.""This must be confusing for you," she said gently. "We're the only Lycan pack. We live apart from the others. Our traditions are different.""I noticed," I said quietly.I didn't want a long explanation.But I let her continue."In your packs," she said, "the Moon Goddess chooses your mate. A bond forms between you. It grows stronger over time. And if one mate dies... the other may be given another chance."I nodded."That's true."It was the only way I had ever known."But for us," she continued, "it's different. We choose our own partner. And once we choose.

  • Beautiful Betrayal   Chapter 34: His Bedroom

    Azerbel's Point of ViewI shouldn't have come this far.The thought came too late.By the time I realized it, the forest had already swallowed me.I turned around.The sound of the waterfall led the way.Loud.Steady.Impossible to miss.It echoed through the trees, almost like it was calling me back.When I reached the cave, no one was there.Good.Genaro wasn't here.For once.I stepped inside without thinking.I didn't know how long I stayed there.At some point...I simply stopped.Stopped thinking.Stopped fighting.I fell asleep before I even realized it.My body gave in first.Then my mind followed.I didn't want to think about him.About what had happened.About how easily I had lost control.I only wanted silence.Was that really too much to ask?So I stayed.In the same cave he had shown me.The same place where he laughed.Teased me.Acted like none of it mattered.Maybe it was just a game to him.To me...It wasn't.I knew I should have stopped it.But I didn't.And he lau

  • Beautiful Betrayal   Chapter 33: Lost In Rain

    Azerbel's Point of ViewThe moment he pulled away...Something inside me broke.Not relief.Not anger.Something much worse.It felt like I had lost something I didn't even understand.Then I saw it.That small, satisfied smirk."Does that mean I have your permission?" he asked.Just like that...Everything came crashing back.My chest tightened.Heat rushed into my face.I took a step back, my stomach twisting.Of course.Of course he would turn it into this.I had let him get close.I had let him take control.And now he stood there like he had won.Like I was nothing more than another game.I hated it.I hated him.But even more...I hated myself.For not stopping him.For wanting it.For responding to him.I swallowed hard, my throat burning.No.I couldn't stay here.Not like this.Not with him looking at me that way.I turned and ran.Straight toward the cave entrance.I didn't think.I didn't hesitate.I only wanted to get away.My body shifted on instinct.Bones cracked.Muscl

  • Beautiful Betrayal   Chapter 32: Heart Remembers

    Azerbel's Point of ViewHe was taking me somewhere.And he refused to tell me where.The longer he stayed quiet...The more it felt like I wasn't supposed to know."Where are you taking me?" I asked again.The frustration was already clear in my voice.I'd asked too many times.By now, he should have answered."Don't you get tired of asking the same question?" Genaro asked, looking at me as if he already knew how annoyed I was."Yes, I do," I replied at once."That's exactly why I want an answer.""If you know where we're going, then just tell me."He laughed.Actually laughed.Like this was entertaining."Try guessing," he said."You might get it right."I stopped walking for a second.Then hurried after him when he pulled me forward again."I don't want to guess," I muttered."I want you to tell me.""But where's the fun in that?"I frowned.For a moment I crossed my arms.Then I let them fall again."I don't think any of this is fun."The trees around us grew thicker.The shadows s

  • Beautiful Betrayal   Chapter 31: Golden Cage

    Azerbel felt it before she understood it.The change.The silence.Every eye turned to Genaro.Then...To her.It hit all at once.Too many people.Too many eyes.Too much pressure.For a moment, her body betrayed her.Her shoulders stiffened.Her breath caught.Her heart pounded hard against her ribs.This wasn't normal.This wasn't just breakfast.Something was about to happen.She wanted to stop him.Pull him aside.End this before it began.But she couldn't move.Not here.Not in front of everyone.Luna Lorraine's voice echoed in her mind.Stand straight.Stay calm.Never let them see you break.Azerbel took a slow breath.Then lifted her chin.Her back straightened.Her face stayed calm.Even though her heart refused to settle."I won't take much of your time," Genaro said.His voice carried easily through the hall."I won't let your food grow cold."Azerbel almost rolled her eyes.He could have skipped all of this.But she stayed silent.Because now...She wanted to know.What w

  • Beautiful Betrayal   Chapter 30: The Announcement

    Azerbel knew something was wrong the moment she stepped outside.Not because she sensed danger.Because something felt... different.Quiet.Unfamiliar.She slowed down.Then stopped.Her eyes lifted.She froze.This wasn't a pack house.It was a castle.Tall towers reached into the sky.Dark stone walls stretched as far as she could see.Everything about it felt planned.Controlled.Untouchable.Too much.Who would choose to live in a place like this?She walked forward slowly, her eyes taking in every detail.The stone looked ancient.Yet it hadn't weakened.It looked strong enough to outlive everyone who lived inside it.Without saying a word...The castle spoke of power.A quiet thought settled inside her.Werewolves and lycans.Both were shifters.But they were not the same.Werewolves believed in fate.In bonds they couldn't escape.Lycans chose.And once they made a choice...They never turned back.Azerbel swallowed.She wasn't sure which was more frightening.A cold wind brush

    Azerbel’s Point of ViewFor a second, Guerero lowered his head.He looked... broken.Like something inside him was crushing him.Like he was carrying a weight too heavy to bear.But I couldn't feel sorry for him.Not after this.All I felt was pain.Sharp.Burning.This was him?This was the man I

  • Beautiful Betrayal   Chapter 3: Already Gone

    Azerbel had imagined this moment a thousand times.But never like this.Never with Guerero sitting beside another woman.Never with him unable to look her in the eyes.And never...with him choosing someone else."This is Ruby," Guerero said.His voice was low.Heavy."The woman I mentioned in my l

    The question slipped out before Azerbel could stop it."Who is she?"Her voice trembled.Not because she didn't want the answer.But because a part of her was suddenly terrified of hearing it.Luna Lorraine's hand tightened around hers.And somehow...that made everything worse.The grip was gentle
