The Mark of Betrayal Chapter 50: Unanswered Questions
Roman‘We need to shower, then we have to talk to the pups. What’s the situation with the warriors here?’ I ask my father in the mind link.‘There was resistance, but everyone heard what Gillian said. No one can deny that Althea betrayed her wolf, her family, and her pack.’As I hold my crying mate, I look around the pack. She’s not the only one crying. However, I think most of these people are crying because of the betrayal that they just heard about, not because their Alpha and Luna are dead.‘Can you clean this up? I’m not willing to give Sawyer and Althea a warrior’s burial, but I don’t want to leave them to be eaten by animals either,’ I say.‘We’ll bury them. I’ll get some warriors to dig their graves. The pups may want some place to go visit their parents someday. I’ll make sure we mark the graves,’ he says.‘Thank you. Can you also make sure the pack doesn’t shut down? Once we talk to Sloane and Slade, I’ll come down and address the pack.’‘I’ll call your mother and have her c
The Mark of Betrayal Chapter 49: Gillian
SamaraI feel paralyzed. Althea helped to kill our family. She not only knew about it, she was part of it.The moment Roman and Sawyer leap at each other, I can hear the chaos of the pack as Roman’s warriors begin attacking. I don’t want any of our warriors or any more of my family’s warriors to be killed because of Sawyer and Althea’s treachery, but Pierce is somehow managing to keep himself between me and Sawyer while they fight in the small space, so I can't leave to see if they are destroying my family's pack or just restraining them.When I finally get a glimpse of the room around Pierce’s large body, I see that Althea is gone.I turn, focusing on Roman and Sawyer. I know Roman is strong enough to kill Sawyer, but being in this small space and trying to protect me while fighting is hindering him. When I hear more wolves enter the room, I leap from behind Roman toward the door.“STAND DOWN!” I say, putting the full force of Ayla’s command behind it. These wolves are part of Sawyer
The Mark of Betrayal Chapter 48: Second Betrayal
RomanI knew Sawyer would begin pegging me with questions the moment we were alone. There was no way for me to force his pups to stay with us after Samara left and they went to find their friends. Rather than fight it, I pulled on Pierce’s strength to stay calm and I followed Sawyer to his office.He, like always, sits behind his desk like he’s the fucking king of the pack. It always sat wrong with me before. I’m his friend, his ‘brother’. But he always put the distance of the desk between us when I came to visit. Always. I don’t even do that with my pack members when they come to talk to me. I always sit beside them, making them feel comfortable.Now I know why he does it. And he should keep his distance. He is right to fear me. He must have known that if I ever found out what he did, I would kill him for it.“So, now that it’s just the two of us, tell me, what did she see?” he asks.I shrug, sitting back. “Thankfully she only heard her mother die, but that was enough. She saw her blo
The Mark of Betrayal Chapter 47: Althea's Response
SamaraI’m equal parts excited and terrified to talk to Althea today. The excited part is that we can finally avenge Teddy's murder. The terrifying part is that I know I’m about to rip my sister’s life apart.Over breakfast, my stomach is in knots. I can feel Roman brushing against my mind, Pierce purring in my head to help keep me calm.‘We need to pull ourselves together, Ayla. Pierce is going to have his hands full keeping Roman from killing Sawyer while we’re away from him. We need to be able to do this without him helping us.’Roman expects that Sawyer will ask him what he saw in my mind while they are alone. He’s going to keep Sawyer busy while I go speak to Althea.Over breakfast, I get to know my niece and nephew better. Sloane can’t seem to get enough of me and it’s obvious that she adores Roman. Slade is darling, a little Alpha already. I’d like to think that he gets that from my side of the family. I hate that I'm about to tear their world apart.The opportunity to slip away
The Mark of Betrayal Chapter 46: Unsettled
RomanAll night I’ve been holding on to Samara tighter and tighter, mentally and physically. With all the planning I did to make sure that I didn’t kill Sawyer right away, that we were ready to kill him when the time came, that we didn’t give ourselves away, I didn’t take into account how overwhelming it would be for Samara to return to her family's pack. EVERYTHING she sees is sending her back to that day when she was nine years old, helpless and alone, hearing and seeing her loved ones die around her.I’ve watched the memories flash in her mind, felt the pain, the sorrow, the loss all over again. So, when we get to our room that night, I’m not surprised that it all comes pouring out of her.I scoop her into my arms, locking the door to our room before carrying her to the bed. I’ve watched Sawyer watching her all night long. His first question to her about how she got out let me know that he was nervous about what she might have seen before she left. Since her being overwhelmed by her
The Mark of Betrayal Chapter 45: The Pack
SamaraI’m struggling to stop crying. Roman is helping me, but it’s been so long since I’ve seen any of my family members, that all my emotions are bubbling up inside me.Althea leads us to the office that used to be my father’s. Even walking up to his door, the door that I came to at least once every day to see him, brings back a flood of memories. I reach out mentally, grasping for Roman. He mentally wraps himself around me, steady and strong, helping to keep me grounded.“Oh, Samara, I’m so sorry. All of this must be so overwhelming for you,” Althea says.“It is,” I whisper, just as Roman wraps an arm around my waist.“I’m right here,” he whispers in my ear. I notice a flicker of a frown on Althea’s face before it’s gone.“Maybe it would be better for her right now if she’s with you. I’m sure this is a lot,” Althea says to Roman.“Yes, I agree. The mate bond will help keep her steady.”When we step into the office, it’s surreal. Nothing is the same, not the smell, not the furniture,
