Lahat ng Kabanata ng Betrayed by Her Mates: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

Mina POV - 4 days to go - "What's gotten into you?" Chloe laughs as Mina skips down the street and throws her head back to look at the stars. She's still on cloud 9 since her kiss with Alastor, she has been all day and she's letting herself enjoy every second. She’s had enough of brooding and questioning everything. For now, she can be happy, everything else can come tomorrow. "I'm just happy. Can't I be happy?" She grins. "Not this level of happy and not within eyesight of your mother. Did you see the way she looked at you earlier?" "Nope, and I don't care either." "Who are you and what have you done with my best friend?" Chloe gapes at her, then narrows her gaze. She hums to herself and then grabs Mina's arm, pulling her down the street. When they are far enough away from the packhouse and away from any of the other wolves who were also out enjoying an evening walk, she stops. "Okay, you need to tell me what's going on, right now." She whispers. "There's nothing going on."

Mina POV - 3 days to go - Another Friday, another formal dinner for all the higher ups of the pack. Considering they only met a couple of days ago with Jade's surprise appearance, Mina had hoped they would call it off, and yet she sits in her seat to the right of her mother at the head of the table looking out at the select few invited to join them. Of course, Beta Oliver and his mate Jasmine are there, as is Owen and Alastor, sitting silently beside each other. Sam and Chloe are to Mina's right, and beyond them are the lucky few warriors allowed to attend the dinner. Mina has been tense all day, ever since leaving Sam's office that morning, knowing he was going to talk to their mother about the situation and find a solution for her. She had been waiting for her mother to call her to her office to discuss Alastor and their bond, but so far nothing. And now the woman dug into her steak and vegetables like she wasn't planning on disrupting an alliance that could affect the pack. She

Alastor POV - 2 days to go -Something isn't right, but Alastor can't put his finger on it. He's certain him and Mina have never been seen being inappropriate with each other, yet the way that warrior acted earlier was very odd. His father reported that it was something to do with rumours arising about Mina's heritage due to not finding her mate yet. It is stupid and his father put the wolf straight, but something still sits off about the whole thing. He's glad Mina asked him to stay with her, he would've offered anyway or at least stayed in the packhouse gardens for the night to be nearby. As her mate, he constantly has the desire to protect her, but something about today made that desire a need. It makes him feel anxious about the day ahead and leaving for Red Spire. He doesn’t want to leave Mina alone and can’t shake the feeling that this situation might happen again, but that’s why he has to go. He needs to break off his arrangement with Jade and get back home to his mate so he c

Mina POV - There's a ringing in Mina's ears, her vision going static as she stares at the lifeless body of her mother, the Luna's hand still held up by her own, and she refuses to see it drop. She's stunned, mind blank, mouth parted as if to shout for help or scream her grief, but no noise comes out. The moment is frozen around her, keeping her locked in to feel the numbness spreading within. It should hurt right? She should feel... something? But she doesn't, she just sits and stares. A void of thought or action. "Ina... Mina!" A voice shouts beside her, finally dragging her attention up. Oliver is there, pale-faced but with anger burning in his gaze. "Move." She frowns. She can't move. She has to stay with her mother. He tries to speak to her a few more times, then gives up and grabs her by the arm and yanks her back. Immediately a medical team descends on the Luna, but she knows it's too late. She's gone, and with a silver knife buried in her heart, she isn't coming back. Mina

Mina POV - Mina hasn't even made it out of the pack before the howls of wolves fill the air. They are full of grief, a collective whine as news of their murdered Luna spreads. Along with them, the never-ending flood of rejections fill&nb
