The hall falls into stunned silence. Faces twist with disbelief, jealousy, and fury.

Alpha Nympha staggers back a step, before she spins around and storms out. The rest of the silver-haired she-wolves trail behind her.

Monique looks like she’s seen a ghost while staring at me—frozen, pale, eyes wide. Disgust, maybe even fear is crossing her face.

Victoria tries to stay still, but her jaw trembles, and her red eyes shimmer with tears she refuses to shed.

Who can blame them? Even I can’t even begin to imagine the facial expression I’m making about what King Orvyn just said.

“Thank you all for coming tonight. I hope you’ll stand with me in this decision, as your king,” Orvyn says.

He continues, but the next words don’t register anymore coz my heart thunders too loudly in my ears.

Then Orvyn gently guides me toward the blue velvet curtain. Behind it is a grand room with a balcony overlooking the moonlit garden.

I rip my hand from his grip, and rush toward the balcony. I grab th

  • Chosen to be Betrayed   CHAPTER 35: THE STORMBOURNE PACK

    I suck in a deep breath, pushing my jealousy aside as Alpha Lee and Luna Marion greet me.They both look thinner and more tired than the last time I saw them. "I'm honored to be visited by you again, Your Majesty. Thank you for also bringing Queen Thalissia and Prince Gautnier with you,” Alpha Lee says with a smile. "Come with us and let’s have some tea in our home," Luna Marion warmly offers. Their house is the most decent one I’ve seen in the whole territory. Once inside, I make sure to immediately sit beside Thalissia while shooting Gautnier a glare, silently warning him to stay away. He smirks arrogantly but takes a seat farther.“We apologize that we can only offer tea and some biscuits. We ran out of rice and meat,” Luna Marion says with an embarrassed expression.Before I can respond, Thalissia speaks up with worry in her tone. “What about your wolves? What do they have to eat?”The Alpha and the Luna glance at each other, clearly unsure how to answer.“We’ve been eating…

  • Chosen to be Betrayed   CHAPTER 34: AN UNEXPECTED COMPANY

    I didn’t leave Thalissia’s bedroom the whole night. We slept in the same bed. We even bathed in the same bathroom at the same time. And she didn’t complain about any of those. BUT, there was no love making that happened. Even as my wolf stirred with desire, I surprisingly controlled it. It isn’t the right time yet. There are things to fix first. And that fixing starts today.I invited Thalissia to tour the kingdom to slowly show her the truth and make her understand why I make harsh choices, which include choosing her as my queen even though I didn’t love her at first. Maybe then, she’ll stop doubting me and start believing that my love for her is now true and strong.As we prepare to leave, a knock comes, followed by an announcement, “Prince Gautnier is here.”What the hell is he doing here this early?My jaw tightens as frustration claws through me. But a mischievous idea comes—I’ll let him see that I just spent the night with Thalissia. That should send him away.I smirk as I s

  • Chosen to be Betrayed   CHAPTER 32: FATED VERSUS CHOSEN

    ORVYN’S POV: Guilt consumes me. It always has since I became king and took on its heavy crown. I’ve made hard choices and sacrificed things I treasure. My wolf growls low, pushing me to accept Victoria’s demand. It still wants her, but not like before where there’s a wild hunger in it. “I told you, I’ll make love with you again once you’re officially my concubine,” I say, voice firm. As I turn to leave, she rushes in front of me to block the door. She then presses her lips against mine with desperation once again, while her hands thirstily roam over my torso. “Stop this, Victoria! This won’t solve anything!” I snarl, holding her arms. Instead of listening, she drops to her knees and grabs at my pants to try unzipping it. I step back quickly, pushing her away as gently as I can. “Enough!” “What?!” she screams. “Does Thalissia s.uck you better than I can?!” I take a strained breath, trying to maintain my composure. “Let’s talk once you calm down.” I stride past her, but he

  • Chosen to be Betrayed   CHAPTER 31: DESPERATION

    The last time Orvyn and I made love was before the King Selection Ball. If I count the days, I can claim I’m already four weeks pregnant. But what if the royal court asks for proof? What will I show them? I stop pacing the room when Queen Aurora storms in without an announcement, let alone a knock. Her face and movements are bright with excitement. But when she sees my expression, that excitement fades instantly.She looks at the door, makes sure it’s closed, then asks in an almost inaudible voice, “So, it’s not true then?”I nod, tears start falling down my cheeks. “But at least… we’re all saved from being imprisoned. Well,... except dad.”Her fingers suddenly clutch my jaw so hard, her nails slightly digging my skin, and her eyes burn with rage. “You put us in that situation. So don’t you dare feel proud for saving us with a lie!”“Let’s not fight, Your Highness. If anything, we need each other now more than ever. You’ve got to help me on this one,” I beg.She lets go of me with

  • Chosen to be Betrayed   CHAPTER 31: CHAOS IN THE COURT HALL

    The loud gongs and horns shake the whole palace. The noise wakes the other officials, but I have been awake all night. I couldn’t sleep, coz my mind kept racing. When and where can I destroy my spare phone without the guards finding its pieces? But more than that, Beta Clare’s words still haunt me. What if Orvyn really is in love with Thalissia now? I try to shake it off, but my confidence is slowly slipping from me. That’s why this doubt keeps clinging to me and refusing to let go. Suddenly,... The door creaks open. Royal guards enter without asking for permission or offering breakfast. They just motion for us to follow. In the room beside ours, the male officials of our pack come out too. Dad gives me a worried smile, but I can’t bring myself to smile back. We're led to the royal court. Queen Elowyn sits at the front with officials from other packs. Some look shocked, some are curious, and a few—especially the silver-haired, silver-eyed ones—wear smug faces. “King Orvyn

  • Chosen to be Betrayed   CHAPTER 30: YOU'RE UNDER ARREST!

    VICTORIA’S POV: I pace my bedroom anxiously. The air-conditioner is on, but sweat still runs down my forehead. Why haven’t the Gammas called back? Did they kill Thalissia already? Or did she escape again?I grab my spare phone and try one more time, pressing Yssa’s number.One ring... two... Then finally, she answers.I open my mouth, ready to scold her for ignoring my previous calls, but my instinct stops me. Yssa doesn’t say anything either, as if waiting for me to speak first, which is strange. Until, a moment of tense silence later, a voice, I don’t recognize, echoes.-[“This is the Chief Police from Amantheia Paradise Island. May I know who I am speaking with?”]-My blood runs cold, provoking me to hang up at once and throw the phone into my cabinet.Chief Police?! They’re caught! Did they tell them about my involvement? Have they killed Thalissia, or was she lucky again?I force myself to breathe deeply, trying to calm the panic. Suddenly,...I jolt, fear wriggling back thr
