Things were becoming too much for me to handle, too much to digest. I didn't want to believe this stranger, but I did. She knew about me far more than I did. “They once balanced the Alpha wars with spiritual healing and power” She revealed. Questions travelled around in my head, I parted my lips but words refused to come. I was so stunned, so confused that I couldn't talk. “The loss of one twin, the betrayal you've faced, and the survival of the hybrid child has awoken the gift in you, Maggie” She continued, a smile creeping up her face.

“I didn’t want to do this, cupcake. I was getting fond of you.” His hands held onto the thick strand of my story hair and he sniffed it making me cry h my nose in disgust. “But power is power. This is the moment I always dreamed of–to be in charge of power.” I swam for the light and he did everything he could to take me into the abyss. He betrayed me, not the other way around.

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

No one was going to save me. Just like no one had saved me when Yvonne betrayed me. When my adoptive parents poisoned me. When Xavier's father tried to kill me. I was always alone in the end. But I wasn't the same girl who'd died in that first timeline. I wasn't even the same girl who'd run from Xavier three days ago. Power exploded from my core, pure and golden. Theo flew backward, hitting the ground hard. I stood up, and I felt different. Stronger. The world seemed sharper, clearer. Every warrior in the circle, I could sense their strength, their weaknesses, their fear.

“What did he do to you?” Luca took a breath, his tone turning colder. “He betrayed me. Years ago, I worked on a high-profile investment deal with him. It was supposed to save a struggling branch of the company. Instead, he used my name, my credentials, to authorize illegal payments bribes to foreign partners. When the board discovered the fraud, he vanished behind excuses, and I was left to take the fall.” Aria’s eyes widened. “He framed you, too.” Luca’s jaw tightened. “He always frames the ones who trust him most. He knows how to destroy loyalty. I lost everything my position, my father’s trust, my reputation. And when I tried to confront him, he told me something I’ll never forget.”

I should act like that, because if I throw out more reasons, then it’ll just give them more opportunity to also throw questions at me. “Then it’s up to you to believe what you want to believe. But, I know that I’m not a traitor. Open your eyes, girls. How can someone like me, a nobody, betray a huge society, when I’m fully aware of the consequences, right? I’m sure as fuck that the traitor could be someone who’s powerful, you know? Someone who’s not afraid to betray a huge group like ours right, rich and powerful Eun?” I took a glance at Eun, and saw her smirking, and there and then I knew I won this invisible game we were all playing.

Warmth was just the prelude to a trap. He had tried to escape it once. He had tried to love someone honestly. A girl with soft eyes and a laugh like water. She’d been his only clean thing. Then the betrayal came: the way her hand held another’s, her signature on papers that gave away everything he’d built. That day he’d learned his last lesson: love was power, and whoever didn’t hold the power would be crushed by it.

"You’re not just his ex-spouse, Gia. You’re the important thing to matters he wishes matters he’s inclined to do something to get. Trust me, it’s higher if you stay away from him and anything bullshit he’s stuck up in." I swallowed difficult, my thoughts racing to make feel of the entirety Luca turned into saying. Matteo? After power? Using me as some form of… pawn? It didn’t make any sense. The Matteo I knew cherished turned into a cold, certain. Distant, even. But ruthless? Manipulative? I couldn’t trust it. But Luca's dark, intense eyes instructed me that he was useless. "Why are you telling me this?" I subsequently asked, my voice slightly above a whisper.
