Todos los capítulos de Beta Heiress Annabella's Truth: Capítulo 31 - Capítulo 39

Annabella's heart beat frantically in her chest like a trapped bird, her eyes darting between Knight and the empty space where Lucious should have been. Six mates. The Goddess had given her six mates when she'd spent years believing she wasn't worthy of even one. "Lu went to confront Jonty and the Moon Slasher delegation," Knight explained softly, leaning forward in his chair. His wolf paced anxiously beneath his skin, sensing her distress through their newly awakened bond. "He should be back soon." Relief flooded through her, though she tried to hide it. Old habits died hard, showing too much emotion had always invited criticism from her father and brother. Knight noticed anyway, his keen eyes catching the subtle relaxation of her shoulders. "You don't need to hide your feelings," he said.

Knight's chest tightened at her words, warmth spreading through him despite his embarrassment. "Not well enough," he murmured. "Not when it mattered most." Outside the healing room, Alpha Marcus approached with measured steps, pausing to speak quietly with Maya before entering. The seven mates felt his presence before the door opened, the unmistakable authority of the pack's leader demanding instinctive respect. "I apologise for interrupting," the Alpha said, his deep voice filling the room. "But there's been a development." Raymond straightened immediately. "What kind of development, Father?" "Eugene is demanding to speak with Annabella before the tribunal," the Alpha stated, his displeasure evident in his tone. "He claims there are things she needs to know, things that will change her perspective on everything that's happened."&n

The vulnerability in her question pierced Knight's heart. He could see all the years of belittlement and dismissal reflected in her doubt. His wolf whined within him, desperate to comfort their mate. "Annabella," he said softly, "we're the ones who need to prove ourselves worthy of being your mates, not the other way around. Lucious has proved himself; the rest of us know that. No matter how long it takes, we’ll wait. We’re not going anywhere.” Annabella nodded again, “I know this is weird for me, I mean, I thought I’d just have Lu, but how are you two feeling about this? Especially you, Lu, I mean, you have been my man for three years, and I have a feeling I was the girl you wanted to ask out, but at the time, you were friends with Tate, and you felt weird that you had feelings for your best friend’s sister. I have a feeling I know why he told the others you were

“This is where you come in, my boy. When the time comes, I need you to trick his brothers into one of these options: Rip her from Lucious’s arms, slip something into his drink, find some kind of pack business you know that only he can hold, or even get some she-wolves to stop him from getting to the clearing. It will prove to his brothers that he was toying with her as you have always told them.” "I've been telling them that for years," Tate's voice replied, pride evident in his tone. "They believe it completely." Knight felt his blood freeze in his veins. The confirmation of Tate's deliberate manipulation hit him like a physical blow. All those times he'd stood silent while his brothers mocked Annabella, all because of calculated lies designed to isolate her. "Good," Eugene replied, satisfaction colouring his voice. "Your friendship with them has proven

"There's one more recording you should see," the pack member added hesitantly. "In the footage from earlier today, before everything happened. Eugene received a phone call that seemed to upset him greatly. We haven't identified the caller, but afterwards, he was seen hurrying the arrangements with the Moon Slashers." "He was accelerating his timeline," Adrian deduced, his tactical mind working through the implications. "Something spooked him, made him feel he needed to move faster." The Alpha's eyes narrowed thoughtfully. "Or someone warned him we were getting close to discovering his plans." The implications hung heavy in the air. If Eugene had been warned, it meant he had an informant close to the Alpha's inner circle, someone with an understanding of what was going on around them.” “What if he felt their bond snap into place?
