All Chapters of Betrayed By My Alpha Fiance Claimed By My Lycan King: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

I grabbed my handbag and stepped into the hallway, pulling the bedroom door shut behind me.As I walked toward the stairs, I heard murmurs coming from my mother's room.That was strange.I turned and took two steps toward the room."I know you can hear me, Talia."My steps came to a stop.Father?His voice was coming from Mother's room.I frowned.What was he doing in there?Father barely came to see Mother anymore. Most days, he left everything to the servants.Curiosity got the better of me.I quietly walked toward the slightly opened door and looked inside.Father was sitting beside Mother's bed, holding her hand.Mother lay there without moving, her eyes fixed on the ceiling."I'm sorry," Father said softly. "I'm sorry for betraying you."My brows pulled together.Betraying her?"I know what I did was unforgivable, but I couldn't let you take everything I'd spent years building. I just couldn't." He lowered his head. "I kept telling myself I was doing the right thing... but I've re

Elena's eyes darted from me to Selene, her breath hitching. She clutched her phone, her hand trembling."You can't let her do anything to you, my lady."Selene's eyes turned cold. The pristine aura surrounding her was gone."What do you mean?" she asked Elena."My lady, she's not who she says she is," Elena said, her voice filled with concern.I looked at Elena as though she'd lost her mind. I should have trusted her. She was my safe place, the only one who truly knew me inside and out.But Mom's curse could be because of me. I could have brought all this misfortune upon her.I didn't care who Selene really was as long as she could save my mom. I didn't care about the consequences."Shut up, Elena. Do you know this is for my mother? We finally found the solution.""At the expense of your life?" she yelled, her voice trembling with concern.I stared at her in disbelief."How did you know? Were you eavesdropping on us?""She's not here to help you, my lady. She's—""Shut your mouth, les

"I told you not to do anything to her."My anger surged stronger than ever. My fists curled tightly at my sides.Alaric, who was standing over Selene's bloodied body, looked back at me. The horsewhip in his hand slipped from his fingers and landed on the damp floor stained with blood.He stared at me, his eyes burning with guilt and rage."I should have arrived sooner. Maybe I could have stopped her from putting you through all this pain."It was the first time I had seen Alaric this angry. Was he blaming himself for not coming sooner to save me?I did this to myself."You didn't do anything wrong. You saved me. Look, I'm fine. She didn't succeed anyway."He pulled me closer."Do you know how painful it was for me to force your wolf core back into place? She did this, and I'll make sure she learns a bitter lesson."For a moment, I couldn't speak. My eyes drifted toward Selene, who was strapped to an electric chair. Her body had gone numb from the torture."You've already done ten time

The mansion was way too quiet today, like yesterday's incident had finally forced everyone to hold their tongues.I was sipping my morning coffee on the balcony, lost in one of my fantasy novels, ignoring the dull ache that still lingers throughout my body.My recovery wasn't as quick as I wanted it to be, but I refused to let that stop me.I had spent enough time lying down.I was tired of being weak.Just then, a maid's voice interrupted my peace."Lady Aria, Lord Silas seeks your presence."I sighed bitterly."Just when I thought this was going to be a peaceful morning." I mumbled, looking up at her. "Tell him I'll be there shortly."She bowed slightly before leaving.My eyes drifted toward the garden below. It was thriving with the set of colors I hated the most.Those were Isolde's favorite trashy choices.I hissed as I drained the remaining content of my cup.I stood up and straightened myself."Another earful, I guess." I muttered as I walked inside.Standing in front of this e

It was still the same day, yet it felt like an entirely different world.Hours ago, I had stood before the people who once made me feel insignificant. Now, I was heading toward a problem I never expected to face.My entire persona was built around my world as a writer. People knew me through those books, not as the woman rushing toward another crisis without even properly saying goodbye to her mate.Golden Pen had held the top spot for three years. It wasn't a position anyone could simply take overnight.I pushed open the sliding door to my Bookmart and stepped inside with the urgency of someone who had barely resolved one problem at home before running straight into another.Elena was waiting for me.She had always been the calm one between us, but today, she was pacing the room with her phone clutched tightly in her hand. The moment she saw me, she stopped."You're here." She hurried toward me. "The internet is blowing up."Her breath hitched."Come with me."She pulled me toward my
