He swore he’d make up for the girlhood I’d never had. I still remembered that night. He had held my hand beneath the moon tree, eyes soft with devotion. "Seraphina, I lost my mother when I was young. But from now on, I’ll treat your mother like my own. We’ll build a happy family together." In that moment, I nearly melted beneath his gaze, foolish enough to believe I had found my destined love. Not long after that, it all shattered. Once, to celebrate a mistress’s birthday, he abandoned me on Lunar Ridge. I had just been injured in a fight, so my body was weak. He left me behind, forcing me to crawl alone down a thorn-covered path.

"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?"

Lisa, her gaze a mix of fear and regret, stammered, "Lucas, please, let us explain." But the explanation was a distant plea in the face of my rising fury. "I gave you everything. And this is how you repay me? With lies and deceit?" "Lucas," that man suddenly appeared from behind Lisa, his face a mask of guilt. "I'm sorry, man. It was a mistake." My heart sank as I realised the truth of their betrayal. I lunged at him in anger. The night echoed with the sounds of our struggle. David, unable to match my strength, crumpled under the relentless assault. Lisa, her eyes wide with horror, tried to intervene, but her pleas fell on deaf ears.

“You betray your pack for money? You endanger my wife and child!” “He promised I would be his Beta,” he blurted out, his hands shaking violently. “He said the pack was better off without you and the people needed to see it. It was only to scare them, to make them rally against you. That was what he told me. I had nothing to do with their chant.” My hand wrapped itself around his jaw and I squeezed tightly. He whimpered as his eyes rested on mine. “Who promised you?” “Trevor.” I nodded, my eyes red with anger. “Did you kill him to protect yourself?”

"Ivan, if you hadn’t been able to marry me in this life, what would you have done?" He was momentarily stunned. He then let out a soft chuckle. His gaze filled with boundless tenderness. "Let me tell you a story. "When I was twelve, a secret meeting among the mafia families took place. A group of mafia heirs gathered, arguing about whose father was the most powerful and who would one day rule this world. I had just lost my mother and was standing in the garden of the estate, staring at the flowers she had loved most. Then, a little girl’s voice interrupted me.

I didn't want to hear him anymore because he was a liar. He was lying. He was the liar. I never betrayed myself on that topic. Why would I do that? Why anyone would put themselves in misery? Why anyone would put themselves down? He was bluffing in the cold air, thinking to change my mind. As I went to my car, his words were echoed again and again. You're your biggest betrayal.

“You plan to betray the one man you’ve been trying to please and gain acceptance from your entire life?” My chin trembled. I lowered my face. “He’s not much of a father, though, is he?” I mumbled, ashamed that I’d been so determined to seek his favor in the first place. Glancing up, I admitted, “It’s long past time for me to give up on that dream. So yes, I’m going to betray him.” Because I was the Bastard Betrayer. Apparently, that’s what I did. Nicolette lifted her chin to let me know she was listening, not necessarily believing, but at least listening to my explanation. And considering it.

"William? You? You’re the one she sent? She doesn't even care enough to come herself?" "She doesn't know I'm here," William lied, stepping closer. "I saw the video you sent to the burner phone. I’m the one you want, Serena. I’m the one who 'betrayed' you. Leave her out of this." "Leave her out of it?" Serena screamed, swinging the pipe and hitting a nearby crate. "She has everything! My money, my reputation, my life! She turned the world against me! I was the one who was supposed to be the star, William! You promised me!"

Half-sitting as if to grab the fallen book, he swiftly placed the bug under the cupboard. The memories reeled in his mind and swelled hard. "Shit! Eve trusted you like an idiot, I trusted you like an idiot, but we were fooled by you, Zoey," he whispered to himself, a clear, painful betrayed feeling in his voice. "Eve, always scared of being alone, but you're the one who made her life terrified." A silent tear fell from his chin. "How can you do this to us? Eve cared for you as a sister, and she wants you to be happy, but you returned only pain to her. Why is there so much malice in you, Zoey?" He let out a deep breath and punched his knuckles on the table. "Without knowing all the shitty, fu
