Betrayed By Lies Novels & Stories

“You think this is over? This is just the beginning, Lisa. The treasure... it’s only the first step.” Lisa’s legs shook, her mind spinning. The pain of everything Alexander had done to her, to the pack, to Dominick—it all rushed to the surface. She tightened her hands at her sides, fighting the strong desire to lash out. “You betrayed me,” Lisa whispered, her voice broken. “You promised me everything, and you lied. You lied to all of us.”

“She was ours. The escape was part of the plan. We needed subjects raised outside. She was delivering you to us.” “You’re lying.” My voice shook. The video looked real. “Why would I lie? I have you. I have leverage.” She took the tablet back. “Your mother served us. Your aunt served us. Dr. Rivera serves us. Thaddeus served us for thirty years. Everyone you trust has betrayed you. Everyone you love has lied.” “Not Lycian,” I said it with absolute certainty. “He’s not yours. Never will be.”

“Will you ever tell me what he did to you?” Elias’ voice had gone soft, almost coaxing, as if he was trying to get me comfortable enough to tell him the truth but I couldn’t. I barely even allowed myself to think about it because the mere thought alone was terrifying. I’d trusted him and he’d betrayed me in a way that no one ever deserved to be betrayed. “He lied to me,” I said finally. “And he betrayed me.” “You want to ruin him because of a lie.” “If that’s how you want to phrase it, sure.” I looked up at Elias. “What he did doesn’t matter, it’s not worth repeating.”

“I’ll talk to you tomorrow, but right now? I’m really disappointed in you. It hurts that you’re among the people who’ve hurt me the most.” My voice wavered at the end, and I hated that it made me sound weak. But it was true. The pain of betrayal from someone you trust cuts deeper than anything else. It wasn’t just about finding out Bryan was part of this world of wolves and secrets. It was the fact that, for years, he had been lying to my face. Pretending like everything was normal when my entire life was a ticking time bomb waiting to go off.

The traitor’s eyes, filled with regret and fear, tremble as he responds, “I did it for what I believed was the greater good. I thought I was saving our people from a future of false promises. I never meant for it to come to this.” His words do little to ease the sting of betrayal. “The greater good?” I echo bitterly. “Our future isn’t built on lies and manipulation. It’s built on trust, sacrifice, and love. I will not let your actions unravel everything we’ve worked for.” At that moment, as the traitor is led away by the council guards, I feel both the crushing weight of betrayal and the unyielding strength of hope. Every lie exposed, every betrayal unmasked, fuels my resolve to protect the

“To make you look guilty.” My stomach twisted. “Ethan.” He didn’t answer, but he didn’t have to. I could see it in his face. Ethan had done this. My husband. The man who had held me through every supposed storm had built one for me to drown in. “Why would he do that?” I whispered. “Why spin something like this?” Lucas’s voice went low. “Because that’s what people like him do. They don’t fix messes—they bury them.”

Emotions overwhelmed me—a storm of hurt, shock, and betrayal intertwined into a tumultuous whirlwind. A sudden realization struck me, and the weight of it bore down on me like a crushing force, making it nearly impossible to draw a breath. The gravity of the revelation pressed against my chest, and the pain was unbearable. In that moment, I knew I had to escape, to run away from the overwhelming feelings of hurt, betrayal, and pain.

I vowed to always be honest with him so I told him the gist of what I had overheard sparing him the embarrassing details but he saw through the thinly veiled white lies. “Does it bother you?” he asked. “Which part?” “That I’ve had a lot of partners?” he asked seriously. I looked up at him, unsure what to say, he simply smiled and brushed my hair out of my face. “I will get tested, but I assure you I have never had any STDs or any close calls”

I just want to keep my family safe and trusting strange wolves isn't the smartest thing for Brandon to be doing with carrying that mark as a dishonorable male. He let out a sigh, leaning back against the countertop. "I've done a lot of lying and deceiving people. It's not hard for me to spot a lie when I hear one now. He's not lying about wanting to make money and not cause trouble for me." His jaws clench down, bringing the guilt that he's holding inside to the surface as he speaks about himself lying and deceiving the people around him in the past.

Nobody had shown me affection the way he had, and although I was mad and disappointed that he had lied to me, there was no denying that I would feel miserable without him. "D.. don't lie to me.." I stammered as I sniffled back the tears that wouldn't stop flowing now. I had already lost the strength to fight him off, and at the moment all I could do was wish that he wasn't lying or deceiving me. I hadn't fully recovered from my first betrayal, the last thing I needed now was getting my trust crushed a second time.
