All Chapters of Marked By Betrayal: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

"Why did you come back? Did both of you forget something?" Alpha Diego asked, even though he already had a sense of what the two were up to. He had spoken with Damian and Elara earlier; he knew convincing Damian to become the Alpha of Forestheart would be challenging. However, he also knew that Damian and Elara needed his help and would eventually agree to his plan."We need to ask something," Damian replied, with Elara hesitantly standing behind him, unsure if their decision was right."I think I know what it's about," Diego replied. He smiled at his son Damian and also at Elara before ushering them into his office and offering them seats."I know you won't help us without something in return, so I'll also give a condition," Damian said, causing Diego to smile as he poured himself some wine."Alright, I'll listen to that condition," Diego replied, setting down his wine glass and sitting in his study chair, leaning forward with interest."I'll take on the position of Alpha of the Fore

Calisto slipped into the estate of the Herveaux pack, never expecting the lax security that only fueled his curiosity further.Could this be a trap? How could he have breezed into a renowned pack assigned to guard the emperor so effortlessly?Perched atop a tree, Calisto concealed himself among the dense branches of an oak. He noted the absence of other lycans or werewolves patrolling the facility; instead, mortals abounded—servants and other personnel within the manor.'Are they open to housing mortals in their pack?' Calisto pondered silently.This setup was unlike any he had encountered before—a mixture of scents hung in the air, suggesting that mortals weren't the only inhabitants of this pack."Uncle Calisto?" Calisto glanced around to find Melody just beginning to ascend the manor's fence near his hiding spot. Amidst the diverse beings surrounding him, he hadn't noticed Melody behind him or caught her wolf scent."What are you doing here?" Calisto whispered, and Melody leaped to

"You can't remove me from my position as Luna or from the Forestheart pack. This is where I'll raise my child, and you won't be able to take them away from me," Fiona's response to Esmeralda and Diego was firm as they were now inside her room, discussing the situation."We've proven that you poisoned Elijah. What other face are you going to show us? You've been exploiting your connections to this family too much. After you give birth to my grandchild, we'll kick you out of this pack," Esmeralda angrily retorted, as the drug test results had just come out revealing traces of poison in Elijah's blood, which Fiona had been putting there. Not only that, they found the poison itself in Fiona's bag."Go ahead and try to hurt me or kick me out of this pack. You won't find your heir!" Fiona responded with a threat, clutching onto her child as her only leverage to stay in the Forestheart pack.Diego clenched his fist. He had wanted to drag Fiona out of the pack house for a while now, but he co

Elara echoed every step she took down the cold, dark stairs of the Foretsheart pack's dungeon.As Elara enters the dungeon, she feels the warmth of the outside world swiftly dissipate. Cold wraps around her arms and legs as she navigates through the rows of empty cells."She's still at the far end," Damian replies, holding the oil lamp they always use for their excursions into this place."You can leave me here. I don't want you to see my ugly side," Elara retorts to Damian, a grin spreading across his face. What side of Elara hasn't he seen yet? Just the thought of her Luna's badass side gets him excited."What side haven't I seen?" Damian asks, handing the lamp to Elara."Plenty," Elara teases, causing Damian to chuckle and nod in agreement. "I'll wait by the stairs. Call me if you need anything," Damian says, kissing Elara's forehead."Thank you, Damian," Elara responds, continuing her walk towards the farthest cell where Fernanda is imprisoned. Damian watches her until the glow fr

"Algern, good thing you're back! I thought you'd never show up at the pack again, haha," Alpha Diego teased as his close friend entered his office. Algern grinned and shrugged off his jacket before taking a seat. His clothes were a bit dirty, his mouth covered by a thick mustache, and it was evident he hadn't taken care of himself while away from the pack house."Can you believe it? This is the only pack that welcomed me. I was just a bit tied up with the errands you sent me before, and I enjoyed living in the central, so sorry if I haven't contributed much to the pack. I'll make it up now," Algern replied, rummaging through his pockets."I found that antidote you were talking about. What on earth did your son get himself into to have his own mate poison him?" Algern chuckled, prompting a sigh from Diego, who couldn't fully wrap his head around everything happening because of Elara."It's a long story. Here's the payment," Alpha Diego said, tossing a filled envelope of money to Alger
