We cannot afford to lose her.”

The anger and betrayal I had felt all those years ago still simmered just below the surface as I recalled the events that had led to my downfall. My best friend and right-hand man, Damien, had framed me for a crime I hadn't committed and had taken both my throne and the woman I loved, Eliza. I was devastated by the betrayal, especially when Eliza had chosen Damien over me. I had thought that Eliza loved me and would be willing to run away with me once we discovered Damien's treachery. But her loyalty to Damien had shattered my heart and left me feeling utterly alone. I had lost everything that day - my rightful position as Alpha, my pack, my home, and the woman I loved. The wound from that b

I was tugging my hand trying to break the chain from the cuffs but it was useless, I was the fake sex toy cuff, but a real stainless steel kind, "Doesn't make sense Anthony, save your strength, I've tried", I could hear the sad news in her voice. "I can't believe none of this bullshit right now, I feel so betrayed by you and then there is Natz and Brad, don't you guys know what loyalty means?!, we are going to die because of things your fucking forefathers did, and I have to pay for sins I never knew I was apart of, I swear to god! This wedding is off is we survive this, we are so fucking done",

Because if I’d misread this once…I wouldn’t make that mistake again. But one question refused to leave. Why did the deepest betrayals always come from those you trusted most? And worse… How long had I been blind to it? Because now, I couldn’t tell where loyalty ended, and where deception had already taken root.

I can’t wait to celebrate at your wedding! The mafia world was always shrouded in secrecy. The Vittorio family would never disclose accurate information to outsiders. She wasn’t part of the inner circle. How did she know about my supposed wedding? Startled, I tapped into Leonardo’s Facebook profile. His profile picture and cover photo had all been changed to pictures of me. Even his bio had been updated. [My one and only love, Madeline.] I was utterly speechless. In the previous lifetime, no matter how much I begged, he had never once shown even the slightest affection for me in public. Yet now, after losing me, he suddenly wanted to repent?

“She is with me.” My vision blurred red. I gripped the phone so hard my bones screamed. “If you so much as touch a hair on her head, I will make you—” “You will do nothing, my dearest Alpha.” The second voice sent a chill down my spine.
