You don’t understand what it’s like,” she said, her voice sharper now. “To lose everything.
To survive by knowing when to bend and when to take.”
“I understand betrayal,” I replied. “And I understand fear dressed up as friendship.”
Her gaze hardened. “If you truly understood, you’d step aside.”
The words struck deeper than I expected.
I took another step toward her. “Tell me everything,” I said. “Every word you said to Clay.

The Alpha Betrayed Mate CHAPTER 11: I KNOW WHAT YOU DID
5 Years Ago.Clay came for me just before the sun climbed high enough to bleach the mist from the valley. I knew the sound of his footsteps, steady and certain, the way a man walks when he believes the world is already arranged in his favour. By the time he reached my door, I was no longer there.I had excused myself when I saw Selene approaching, too. I felt they planned it and did not want to be caught unprepared.Selene received him.I lingered in the corridor, pressed against the cold stone wall, my breath shallow as I listened. The Council chamber lay just beyond the archway, its doors ajar. I had meant to enter with my head high, to walk beside Clay as his chosen mate, as the woman whose name alre
The Alpha Betrayed Mate CHAPTER 10: REVEALED
5 Years Ago.I did not go to Elder Torin in secret.I went in the open, my head high, my spine straight, the wristband heavy against my skin like a living thing. If he wished to pretend I was still a child, he could summon and dismiss; I would remind him otherwise. I wondered how my parents would have left me in his care because he acted as if he were jealous of my status.His chambers smelled of old smoke and bitter herbs. The walls were lined with carved runes and relics from wars long before my birth, trophies of power he liked to believe still belonged to him. Torin stood by the floor of the fireplace when I entered, his back to me, hands clasped behind him, as if he had already decided the shape of the conversation.“
The Alpha Betrayed Mate CHAPTER 9: THE PROPOSAL
5 Years AgoClay came to me at dawn.Not with the thunder of an Alpha or the certainty of a warrior, but quietly, like a man who knew he stood on fragile ground. I had not slept. Silvercrest was still wrapped in that uneasy half-light where the moon lingers too long, and the sun hesitates to show up.I was on the eastern balcony, watching the forest breathe. The Dark Forest looked calm from here, almost innocent, but I knew better now. I had seen what moved within it. I had felt the pull of old magic brushing against my skin, testing me.I heard Clay before I saw him. His steps were measured, slower than usual. When he stopped behind me, he did not speak at once.&ldquo

The Alpha Betrayed Mate CHAPTER 7: BORN TO RULE
5 Years AgoElder Torin came to me at dusk, when the royal chambers had settled into their uneasy quiet. I remember thinking, as I watched him cross the threshold of my sitting chamber, that men like Torin never came without intent. He did not waste steps or words.I rose out of courtesy, though my instincts told me to remain still. His eyes gazed over me, assessing, measuring, as if I were no longer the girl he had known since childhood but a piece on a board he had been studying for years.“Zanny,” he said, inclining his head. “You look well.”It was a lie, and we both knew it.“You didn’t come to comment on my health,”
The Alpha Betrayed Mate CHAPTER 6: THE POLITICS OF LOVE
Five Years Ago.I had left the council meeting with the hope of meeting up with Clay. I find myself drawn towards him after that exchange with the elders. He was in a hurry, and I thought to myself. “Such a warrior! He wants the beast dead.”It was nighttime in Silvercrest when Clay slipped through the poorly lit streets, careful to avoid the torchlit paths. The stone walls knew his footsteps too well; every guard knew his face. This meeting could not be witnessed, not now, not when the council had already questioned his restraint, his judgment, his right to rule.I watched as he entered Selene’s chambers.Selene’s chambers were dimly lit, a single lamp glowing like a watchful eye. She stood near the window when he ent
