All Chapters of Beta Heiress Annabella's Truth: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Tate's jaw dropped, disbelief written across his features. "All... six? That's impossible. The stories say multiple mates only happen in times of..." He stopped abruptly."In times of great change or danger to the pack," the Luna finished for him. "Yes. The ancient texts speak of multiple mate bonds forming when the pack faces its greatest threats." Her gaze held his steadily. "Your father's betrayal runs deeper than you know."Outside the cell, Raymond's expression darkened as he processed this exchange. The Luna was right, sixfold bonds were mentioned in their oldest histories, always appearing at pivotal moments in their pack's existence. What did it mean that the Goddess had bound his sister to all six of them now?In Eugene's cell, the Alpha leaned forward, his patience wearing dangerously thin. "I'll ask you once more, when did you discover Lucious was Annabella's mate?"Eugene's mask of indignation finally cracked, revealing the calculating wolf beneath. "Six months ago," he ad

Knight tensed as he processed Annabella's insight. The pieces were falling into place with alarming clarity. Eugene's betrayal was even more calculated than any of them had realised. "That's exactly what he did," Knight confirmed, his voice gentle despite the fury building inside him. "Maya found evidence of slow poisoning in your mother's system. The drugs he gave her weren't treating an illness; they were creating one." Annabella's face went pale, her hands trembling so violently that Knight reached out to steady them with his own. The bond between them pulsed with her shock and grief, so powerful that Adrian winced from its intensity. "He poisoned her?" she whispered. "For years? While he was..." She couldn't finish the sentence, the magnitude of her father's betrayal stealing her breath. Lucious moved closer, his arm sliding around her sho

Back at the cells, Lucious had another question for the man who was once his best friend, “So when I gave her my mating token last night, were you trying to convince yourself I was toying with my Bella, or did you just see that your father and your plans were falling apart, so you both doubled down?” Tate's face contorted with a mixture of shame and defensiveness as he considered Lucious's question. For a moment, he looked like the boy he'd once been, uncertain and seeking approval, before the mask of arrogance slipped back into place. "I told myself it was just another of your games," he admitted finally. "Even when I felt the bond snap into place, I convinced myself it wasn't real." He swallowed hard, his throat working visibly. "Father said you'd grow bored with her eventually. That you were just using her to rebel against your father." In the security room

The six brothers stared at Annabella, stunned by her revelation. Her connection to Eugene, though tainted by years of abuse, was still providing insights none of them had anticipated. The family bond, weakened but not entirely severed, was functioning like a conduit, allowing her to sense the network her father had carefully constructed."How many?" Adrian asked, his analytical mind already calculating the potential threat level.Annabella closed her eyes, focusing on the faint impressions filtering through the familial connection. "At least seven that I can feel clearly. The oldest feels... angry. Devoted to him. The younger ones are just confused, sensing something's wrong with their father."Knight moved to her other side, opposite Raymond, creating a protective flanking position. "Can they sense you, too?""I don't think so," she replied, her brow furrowed with concentration. "It's like... I can see them through a one-way mirror. They don't know I'm watching."The Alpha and Luna a

"We need to consider the possibility that some of these children might already be in our territory," he said gravely. "Eugene's been Beta for decades; he knows every weakness in our security protocols."Adrian nodded, already mentally cataloguing recent visitors and new pack members. "I'll review all admission records for the past five years, focusing on young wolves who might match the age ranges of Eugene's offspring."In his cell, Eugene paced with growing agitation, the familiar bonds he'd always taken for granted now feeling like vulnerabilities. If Annabella could sense his other children, could she also discern the contingency plans he'd put in place? The thought made his blood run cold. All those careful years of planning, of positioning his offspring in strategic locations throughout allied and rival territories alike, all potentially exposed because he'd underestimated his daughter's abilities."Stupid, weak little mouse," he muttered, though the insult rang hollow even to h
