Todos os capítulos de Mated in the Shadow of Betrayal: Capítulo 171 - Capítulo 180

(Leo Bloodstone POV)After Ellis was banished, most things around Bloodstone Pack remained the same. Building layouts and training schedules, for example. However, we did make a few important changes.Some of the most important changes involved adding cameras to areas that had never had cameras in them before. This included the alpha and beta floors and all of the panic rooms. My parents had always resisted having cameras in these areas. They believed that privacy was important, especially for ranked wolves and especially for wolves forced into small spaces during a panic situation.I had a different philosophy. For me, security was more important than privacy… especially because —after everything that went down with Ellis, Ingrid, and I— I no longer trusted many of the wolves that had previously had access to those areas. Thus, when I became acting alpha, I had a special team install a lot of cameras in a variety of discreet locations. The cameras would be capable of both audi

(Leo Bloodstone POV)It took us many, many hours to get through all of the security footage.Watching it never got any easier. I lost any trace of an appetite —despite how many times my mother tried to get me to eat— and I felt my claws come out several times as my wolf tried to force a shift. On top of that, I probably did end up with a minor concussion by the end of the recordings. But I didn’t care.We saw everything. Well, mostly everything. I had not equipped any of the bedrooms on the beta floor with cameras, so I did not see what happened in Nick and Jenny’s room.We saw Ingrid in the hallway, encouraging Axel to go into Piper’s room soon after I was called away to deal with the attack. We heard Axel tell Piper that I was his father. We saw Axel’s picture, showing Piper leaving the pack so that he, Ingrid, and I could be a family again. We heard Axel explain to Piper that I only wanted her for power and revenge.At that point in the footage, I threw the laptop that we wer

(Leo Bloodstone POV)Picking up the remote on the desk, I pushed “play” on the television on the wall behind them. The footage from the garden bar began to play.“Alpha Leo is so hot. I can’t believe he is going to be a married man as of tomorrow.”“Me either. It should be a werewolf crime for males that hot to have mates and get married,” Lucy replied.“At least you know what it’s like to f&&k him. After tomorrow, I may never get that chance.”“Yes, but I think it’s actually worse that I know how amazing he is in bed.”“Liar.”“No, I’m serious.”“How you figure?”“Because I know what I’m missing. I know how big his dick is, and I know just how well he fills me up. I also know what it feels like to have his mouth kissing my body all over. Don’t get me wrong, I love my mate, but Randy will never be Alpha Leo.”At this point, I paused the video and looked at Randy. His face was red with anger, embarrassment, or both.“Tell me, Lucy,” my mother cut in. “How big is my son’s dick?”

(Piper POV)I hesitated when I saw Moon Shadow’s border gates about 500 feet ahead of where we were walking.“What’s wrong?” Kade asked me, obviously concerned.I did not answer him right away. Instead, I looked down at my feet, which felt frozen in place as thoughts and worries began flooding my mind. It had only been two weeks since I was last here, and yet so much had happened. It felt like a lifetime had passed. I was technically still a member of Moon Shadow Pack, but in many ways, I felt like a stranger again.More importantly, the last time I was at Moon Shadow Pack, Asher was helping me run away. I could still remember in vivid detail what happened, and the horror that I felt when he was shot by Leo’s men. Leo told me that Asher had recovered, but I had no idea if that was true. After all, Leo also told me that my father was still alive. If Asher was still alive, would he forgive me for my part in what happened to him? Would Jonas? If Asher did not make it, would I be

(Piper POV)When I woke up, I was groggy. I tried to rub my eyes, but something was holding down my left hand, and there was an IV weighing down my other.“Piper! You are awake!” Maya exclaimed happily next to me. I quickly realized that I was in a hospital bed and that she was holding my hand.“H-How long have I been out?” I asked her.“Not long. Just an hour or so. You scared all of us. I am so glad you are awake now.”“W-Where is Kade?”“He’s just outside the room. He is talking to Dr. Hyder. He called him as soon as they got you stabilized.”“C-can you let him know that I am okay?”“You aren’t okay, Piper.”I squeezed Maya’s hand. “Yes, I am. I promise. But Kade and I need to go---”“You aren’t going anywhere. Beta Jonas called Alpha Aiden. He and Luna are on the way back now. You need to stay here. We will protect you, I promise.”“We?”“I may be an omega, but I will kick the a&& of any alpha-a&&hole who dares to hurt you again,” she said in a confident voice.“Ma
