All of it. “I need to tell you something,” I said. His eyes flicked to mine. I exhaled. “I betrayed someone once.” He blinked, startled by the sudden confession. “Back when I was younger. Seventeen. I was working with a distribution ring. Drugs. Pills. We kept it out of schools, out of colleges—at least that’s what I told myself to sleep at night. But then Desmond started pushing product to kids. To students.” My heart twisted at the name. “I tried to stop him. I told him we’d be caught, that it was wrong. But he laughed. Said I’d grown soft. That I owed him.”

But there was something in it… an ache and fury. “I do not expect forgiveness. But I will not die before you know the truth.” The file ended. Static and silence filled the space between us. I couldn’t breathe. My chest rose and fell too fast. I felt cold. And my hands trembled. Gesh, always betrayed. Like again and again. Tommaso. That cold, manipulative bastard. I’d begged for scraps of affection from him as a kid, prayed he’d see me as more than a pawn in his stupid empire. And all along? He was a traitor. A fake.

“So what can we do for you today?” “We?” he asked, looking confused. “Yeah, we. Balric and I.” “I’m not here for the Betrayer,” he replied. So he was in denial. It was time to show him the truth then. “Well then I’m afraid to disappoint you, but I am the Betrayer. I am no more innocent than him. I’ve killed five people. I can remember the first like it was yesterday. I was fourteen and oh so eager to prove myself to Balric. It was actually a lot easier than you’d think or maybe Mathias was just that weak. He was the bottom of the pack always.” Callius’s frown grew and he crossed his arms over his chest, but said nothing so I continued.

I propped myself down on the sofa . "I can't believe she could do this and act innocent all along. She separated us for her so-called love for me. Fucking unbelievable!" The feeling of betrayal was tearing me apart. The one whom I trusted so much to be my support in those was the one who caused my sufferings. "Bitch. That's all she is." Ryan made a disgusted face. "I missed spending three damn years of my life with Brae. We would have been a family if she didn't break our marriage off. " I put my head in my hands thinking over everything.

“You were totally in love with Jacob when we were younger. But you never said anything, did you? You just stared at him from afar and hoped he could read your mind.” “Um, are you forgetting when I asked him to prom? And then he stood me up?” Those feelings of humiliation and anger rose up inside me again. I was glad of them, because they reminded me why falling for Jacob was a bad idea in the first place. Yeah, we were adults now, but that didn’t erase his betrayal, either. It still didn’t help me trust him now. “To be fair, he was a seventeen-year-old boy,” said Mari, folding her hands primly in her lap.

“You do not know the life I’ve lived.” “Jaclyn S Tarr, you’re twenty years old from the north-central and you’re a fire wolf. You moved to the northern city a few months ago because you hoped that would clear your way to achieve success. You fell in love with Dane Vixon, but he only sought to use you for his purpose.” At the mention of the name Dane, Jaclyn’s teeth grit, “I have no business with you. Get out of my head.” He steps back. “Yes, I know you’re triggered by his name. He’s the alpha that betrayed the fire wolf to break his curse as the story goes. He left you for dead, but here you are, very much alive, and that’s why I’m here.”

The one she trusted whole heatedly had betrayed her again. She now saw reasons why her mother Celeste had always told her not to easily trust anyone. She couldn't argue this with her, as she had seen evidence to it. It first started with the alpha. Zayn betrayed her after she wholeheartedly trusted him, she loved him with all her life, but in turn he betrayed and broke her love. And now she had thought she met someone that she thought will never betray her, she saw her as a sister, and some one that will never cause her any harm.

Allison asked, then looked at me. Tito nodded before speaking again. "Stefano is my best friend, but he betrayed me. We had a business together, but he robbed me and took Annie away from me. He made up a story that caused Annie to leave me," he continued to say. "I endured the hardship for a long time because I didn't want to lower my pride just to get back to Adie. Until I couldn't take it anymore, I killed Stefano," he added, causing my eyes to widen.

But I couldn’t trust anyone. In my years as Alpha, I never trusted a single soul. Not even my Beta or my Gamma. Tristan, my former Beta, was a clear example that even if you grew up together, it didn’t mean they would be on your side. I was still on my quest to find the female he was working with when he decided to betray me. I caught him in a video call with her, but all I saw was a female’s legs as she walked back to pick up her phone. She was wearing short cotton shorts, showing a portion of her tattooed thigh.

Just as I had imagined, they had been deceived too. During every break, the founder would take them away to spend time with one predatory older woman after another. The five went from initial despair to eventual numbness and gradual submission. Anything was worth it if it meant they could go to college. They endured three years of this, got into the college of their dreams, and escaped that nightmare. However, when they arrived here, they discovered they did not fit in. Compared to me, they felt like outsiders from a completely different world. To cover up their inner insecurity, they found a way to drag me down with them and make me fall into the same hell they had escaped.
