Ashes Of Betrayal Novels & Stories

The confident, vibrant spark that once defined him was gone, replaced by a palpable weariness. But what did that even matter? He was the one who'd caused all this damage. I stepped back, my voice cold and steady. "Don't pretend I'm the only one for you. You had a mistress while we were in a relationship. What makes you think I'd cling to a man already stained by betrayal?"

My past was waiting for me, and whether I burned it to the ground or let it break me—well, that was a decision I’d already made. Beta Andy broke me—shattered me when I needed him most. At my lowest, I thought he’d stand beside me. Instead, he betrayed me… with a rogue. All because he believed I was barren. I left her behind—whoever she was—and walked toward his territory, every step fueled by anger and purpose, hoping this wasn’t a mistake. Earlier, I’d heard Ash and her loyal followers were out searching for Daniel and me. It didn’t matter. Nothing could stop me now.

he says, as if discussing something trivial, “then it’s fine with me.” The last strand of hope in my chest snaps. The betrayal lands harder than I could ever imagine. Is he still the brother I grew up with, or just a man desperate to become Damien Shaw’s brother-in-law?

Damien didn’t confirm with words, but his silence was confirmation enough. Asher stepped back, his chest heaving as though the walls themselves had closed in on him. His mother, his blood, had gone against him, against Vera, against Eira. She had conspired with Sarah to erase them. And Dorian… Dorian had paid the price of her ambition. For the first time in years, Asher’s composure fractured. His hands clenched into fists, shaking with the force of the storm inside him. Rage, betrayal, grief, it all collided until his voice came out low and guttural.

Her head was still heavy with worries, her orbs now burning beneath their closed lids. Miranda couldn't help but feel betrayed, as more, hot tears welled and leaked from the seam of her connected eyelids. Her aunt told her that Asher wouldn't hurt her. Aunt May also brushed off her memories as a simple dream. Georgie also betrayed her. He also said that Asher wouldn't hurt her, and yet he could. Miranda gulped and sniffled. She told herself to sleep again. Draining herself though the hours of the night by tearing up wouldn't solve her case. She needed a plan to escape, and she'd think of it first thing in the morning. For now, she just hoped for sleep.

“Few things about your martyr were erased from history. My forefather, the Alpha of your time was the one who ordered you killed, so the real history was passed down to me. He was known to be the only Alpha who was able to conquer you, but in his doings, he did not completely erase you. He couldn't at all. A prophecy was made that era that in another lifetime, a descendant of your lover’s bloodline shall be the one to free you.” Lucan rose up to his feet slowly, wincing with pains as he did. He pointed to Rose, “Emmett, this is the person you seek for, the one who by fate broke the spell on your ashes."

"You escaped. You found a mate. You got your happy ending while the rest of us spent twenty-three years in hiding, planning, fighting just to survive." "Happy ending?" I laughed bitterly. "My mate was sent to seduce and kill me. Everyone I've ever trusted has betrayed me. I've died once and come back only to find more enemies. If this is a happy ending, I'd hate to see what tragedy looks like." That seemed to surprise him. Some of the coldness cracked, showing confusion underneath. "You died?"

It was like the floor had opened beneath her and she was falling, endlessly falling into a pit of betrayal, humiliation, and heartbreak. Everything inside her shattered. She had trusted Xander. She had just whispered “I love you” to him not even 24 hours ago. She had watched him cradle their daughter with such tenderness that it felt like watching her heart outside of her body. She had believed truly believed that she had found the one man who would never hurt her. But this? This felt like a knife through the ribs. Not just betrayal… but deceit at the deepest level. Her own signature had been used against her. How? When?

But the moment Maddie walked out of the studio, the smile slipped off Olivia’s face like a silk sheet yanked away. Her hands dropped to her sides, fingers clenching. Her jaw tightened. Then, a whisper, filled with venom: “I’m going to show you how it feels to be betrayed, Maddie.” Tears slipped silently down Olivia’s cheeks, hot and angry. “You’ll feel worse than I did… two years ago.” The memory crashed into her like thunder. Her eyes darkened with quiet rage. “I’m going to show you how it feels to be betrayed, Maddie,” she muttered under her breath. “How you made me feel two years ago.”

And then everything turned black. ________________________________________________
