Lahat ng Kabanata ng His Betrayal, My Second Chance: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

I dragged my suitcase to the small suite in the side wing.This used to be my "temporary home."I lived here for the three years before our mating ceremony.Back then, Xander would always say, "Just wait until our bedroom is finished. I'm going to give you the best of everything."His eyes were full of dreams."We'll make our pack the strongest. We'll be loving mates for life."Those promises sounded so ironic now.I remember the first night we moved into the main wing.The moonlight spilled through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Xander kissed the corner of my lips and whispered, "Regina, you are my whole world."But everything changed after Ryan died.In my last life, on our mating anniversary, I waited for him at the restaurant for three hours in a custom-made gown.The waiter kept asking if he should serve the food.Xander finally rushed in, his clothes stained with Sadie's tears."I'm sorry, Regina. Sadie suddenly got a high fever. I couldn't just leave her."On the anniversary of m

I stood at the manor gate at the agreed-upon time, wearing a simple cream-colored dress.If Xander said he would take me, then I would go.He owed me this. For all the anniversaries Sadie had ruined, this one deserved a grand finale.Soon, Xander walked out. But he wasn't alone.Sadie.She was clinging to his arm, her pregnant belly obvious in the sunlight.My heart sank to the floor."Xander, I thought we were...""I'm sorry, Regina." He avoided my gaze, looking embarrassed. "Sadie said she wanted to get some fresh air. The healer said it's good for pregnant Omegas to go out. It's good for the pup."I looked at Sadie's triumphant smirk and took a deep breath."Then let's all go together."In the car, Sadie sat in the passenger seat, chattering away with Xander."Xander, do you think our pup will be strong like you? I'm so excited..."I sat in the back, listening to them plan the future for a child that wasn't even his.My heart turned to ice.When we arrived at the city's top couture

Xander floored it, tearing out of the medical building’s parking lot like a madman.The engine roared, ripping through the night. He blew through five pack checkpoints.There was only one thought in his head—Regina couldn't leave.They were fated mates. A bond blessed by the Moon Goddess. How could she just break it? Just like that?Tires screamed as Xander skidded through the manor gates.He didn't even park, just bolted straight for Regina’s room."Regina!"He threw the door open. The room was empty.All the furniture was there. But every trace of her was gone.In the walk-in closet, the treasures he’d collected for her—designer gowns, priceless jewels—were untouched.He took a deep breath. Her scent—moon-kissed roses—was so faint he could barely taste it on the air.But all of Regina's clothes were gone."No... this can't be happening..."Xander collapsed onto the edge of the bed. His hands trembled as he searched for something.He remembered their photo on the nightstand.Their fir

Facing Xander's furious golden eyes, Ethan’s legs gave out.The crushing Alpha presence made it hard to breathe."Xander! Let me explain!" Ethan held up his hands, his voice shaking. "I'm a victim here, too!""A victim?" Xander sneered, stalking closer. "You just said it was your cub.""No!" Ethan shook his head frantically. "I mean... I mean this bitch threatened me!"He pointed at Sadie, who was cowering in the corner."That bitch is trash! You have no idea! Even when she was with Ryan, she was sleeping with other Alphas! I was just one of the unlucky ones!"Sadie's face went white. "Ethan, what are you talking about!""What am I talking about?" The threat of death made Ethan reckless. He was going all in. "I have proof!"He pulled his phone from his suit pocket and started swiping through photos."Look at this! Her and Alpha Derek from the Silver Moon pack! And Alpha Kane from the Northern Ridge pack!""These were all taken when Ryan was still alive!"Photo after photo flashed acros

One month later.Regina had moved into Liam's small cabin at the foot of the mountains.It was surrounded by pine trees. Every morning, she woke to the sound of birds singing."Good morning." Liam kissed her forehead, handing her a hot cup of coffee.Regina snuggled into his arms, feeling safe for the first time in a long time."Farmer's market today?" she asked."Of course. You said you wanted fresh blueberries," Liam smiled. "Whatever my Regina wants, she gets."Max, his leg fully healed, wagged his tail at their feet.This simple happiness was something Regina had never known.That afternoon, they walked hand-in-hand through the market.Stalls overflowed with fresh fruits and vegetables. The air smelled of herbs."These blueberries are very sweet," a vendor called out.Regina was about to reach for them when a large hand shot out from behind her, clamping around her wrist."Regina."The familiar voice made her entire body go stiff.She turned slowly. She saw the face she had both lo
