(Leo Bloodstone POV)

I could not, and would not, let go of Piper. That was simply not something that I was willing to consider.

However, that does not mean that my mother’s words had not resonated with me. They had, because she was right. My father and I had allowed ourselves to become distracted, and in doing so, our pack had begun to slowly fall apart from the inside out.

While I vowed to continue to look for Piper, I needed to also refocus my energies on my pack. I needed to clear out th

  • Mated in the Shadow of Betrayal   Chapter 202: The Hidden Memories

    (Piper POV)When my father asked about the day Viper died, I wasn’t sure what to say. I almost immediately saw stars and the machines around me began beeping loudly.I felt myself beginning to disassociate from my body. I was there, but I wasn’t there. I could hear and see what was going on, but I couldn’t feel anything.Suddenly, doctors and nurses filled the room.“What is happening to her?” my father demanded in a panic.“Sir, what happened before we came in?” a nurse asked.“Nothing. We were having a normal conversation. We talked about …oh, goddess, we talked about ---”Just then, I saw Leo break through security and force his way into the room. “What is going on?” he growled. “She isn’t supposed to be having attacks anymore! What is happening?!?!?!?!?!”Hearing Leo’s voice brought back memories. Some good. Some horrible ones. And conflicting emotions that I didn’t want to deal with.I felt myself begin to panic. Unless I was already panicking?The machines spiked ag

  • Mated in the Shadow of Betrayal   Chapter 201: Daddy's Little Girl

    (Piper POV)As my father walked into my hospital room, I broke down in tears. Not just tears, but big, fat, ugly tears.I tried to get out of my bed and run to him, but my legs were still too weak after having been in bed for so long. I started to fall, but thankfully, my father quickly ran over and caught me.Once my father got me settled back into bed, he sat down next to me and held my hand.“Hello, my beautiful daughter,” he said warmly.My heart was racing. I could not believe he was here.“I … I thought… Xander t-t--told me… you died.”I saw a flash of anger cross his eyes.“I am very much alive, Sweetheart.”I wiped some of the tears from my eyes. “Why would Xander lie to me?” I asked. It did not make sense. Xander was my best friend. Or he had been. He wasn’t that cruel.My father frowned. “It wasn’t completely a lie.” I stared at him, confused.“You … you did die? And then they were able to revive you?”My father sighed. “No.”“Then what … what do you mean? Did y

  • Mated in the Shadow of Betrayal   Chapter 200: She's Awake

    (Eight weeks later)(Piper POV)I woke very slowly. I had no idea where I was or what had happened.All I knew was that the lights in whatever room I was in were very, very bright. I kept my eyes closed, not wanting to look at them.As I struggled to make sense of where I was, I thought about the last thing I had been doing before blacking out.The last thing that I remembered was being in my bedroom, laying on my bed, and then hearing Penelope’s voice. It had been so long since I heard it, that when she spoke, I got excited. Unfortunately, her words crushed me.***FLASHBACK***“I am sorry, Piper, but I think it is time for me to go,” she said slowly.“What? Nooooo! Penelope, no!”“The pain… it is too much… I cannot take it anymore.”I hadn’t even realized that we were having another attack. Attacks had become so frequent that I had almost become numb to them. Penelope was not so lucky, in part because –unbeknownst to me until it was too late—she had started to take on more o

  • Mated in the Shadow of Betrayal   Chapter 199: The Realization

    (Leo Bloodstone POV)I cannot begin to describe the rage that I felt when I received the call at 2 am.Piper wasn’t just in trouble; she was now fighting for her life.I did not understand what had happened. I had plans, and backup plans, and backup plans to the backup plans.And, although I did not know what she had gone through since we lost sight of her just before my alpha coronation ceremony, I knew she was now safe. We knew where she was; we knew who she interacted with; we had Dr. Eggert working with her; and we had guards supervising her every move.She should have been safe.Yet, despite all that I had done… despite all that Landon had done… despite the safety protocol that the council had invoked… we had failed.It was a realization that burned me from the inside out.As I headed to the hospital, I called Xander. He was awake, just as I had been, and I told him the little that I knew about Piper’s condition. I still distrusted the guy, but he had been Piper’s best friend

  • Mated in the Shadow of Betrayal   Chapter 198: Flash Forward

    (Present Day)(Dr. Eggert POV)It was at this point in Piper’s story that I had to make a critical decision.We had been talking for hours, but I felt like I was still light-years away from getting the information that I needed to help her.Yes, I now knew that she had a childhood crush on Alpha Xander, who was alternatively helpful and toxic… that she had a brief romantic relationship with Alpha Leo, who was controlling, manipulative, and filled with secrets… that she had a somewhat toxic friendship with Alpha Aiden, who was a case study all in himself… that she somehow got mixed up with a human motorcycle gang after an accident… and that her dead father wasn’t really dead. And I also knew about scent masking herbs and a magical engagement ring.But none of that explained why she had attacked the gamma wolf. Nor did it explain why she had been experiencing mysterious pain.Truthfully, I had no doubt that all of these events were somehow connected, but how? Therapists like myself a
