Betrayed From Birth Novelas e Histórias

“It seems like he has been working against you.” His expression blanked, no longer able to read what was behind those onyx eyes. For the first time, Lazarus strewed in silence, a clear blockage between us. “Family can betray you; I know that better than anyone else.” His sorrowful eyes locked on mine, swirling with disdain. “I told you Ma Cherie, I’m no stranger to betrayal.” Guilt clung to soul, squeezing my heart because I was one of those people. I betrayed him the moment I decided to join The Rebel’s Creed.

The shock of his betrayal still reverberated through me, leaving me reeling with disbelief and anger. Candis Pack, my once-beloved home, now felt like a prison, its walls closing in on me with each passing moment. My father's weakness and desperation had led him to make a deal with the devil himself, sacrificing his own daughter for the promise of power and protection. It was a betrayal that cut me to the core, leaving me feeling abandoned and alone.

I knew he was talking about the reincarnation issue. "Yeah, yeah." "I was betrayed by my own mother." "What?" He laughed, a cruel short sound. "It sounds ridiculous, doesn't it?" "No, yeah, it does. Why would she do that? What happened?" "My brother committed treason against the Alpha, and my parents decided that they couldn’t bear to have their star child face prosecution. They drugged me and had me go confess that I was the one that did it, then pinned it on him. So, I was not only facing treason, but I also became a liar. I woke up in prison the next day with no memory of the other day. My mother came and explained to me what they did. In her own words, this was the first time I would be

“You have no rights to that child, Madison. You’ll be lucky to have any part in this beyond incubator. If you want to have a role in his or her life, you’re going to have to earn it with trustworthy behavior.” “Which I have done since you ripped me from my family.” She had to resist the urge to throw one of the bottles behind her in his direction. “You are the one who doesn’t trust and has no faith. I can’t ever win with you, because you don’t want me to. I’m under no illusion exactly what will happen to me after the baby’s born.” He glowered. “I trusted you, and you have betrayed me twice now.” “How do you figure?”

I didn’t understand what I had done to deserve so much heartache and pain in my life. “Sweetheart, I know it hurts right now, but it will get better,” the nurse said in a soothing voice as she checked my vital signs. Gabriel’s head snapped up at this, not having realized that I was awake. He gently stroked my hair putting on a brave face while out in public but I could tell that he was shattered. Despite his protest that he did not want any more children less than a year ago, I knew he was beyond excited with our pregnancy. My body had let him down just as much as it had let me down. It had betrayed both of us. The surgeon was in to talk to us but I didn’t hear a word she said. I was lost in

… I had to,” she interrupted, tears welling. “My mother - she needed me. I had no other choice!”Fast steps closed the distance. Is there truly no alternative? That’s your excuse? You left her behind. Left me too. Noise rose, sharp and wild, echoing off unyielding rock. Pain turned fierce, burning clear until nothing else could be seen.She flinched at my intensity but met my gaze, unflinching. “I didn’t want to, Victor! You said no… you said the baby comes first. I had to save my mother. Do you even understand what it was like, knowing she could die?”I paused, my fists loosening slightly as the weight of her words settled. But it only fueled the fire inside me. “I understand? You deliberately

He had been there for her every time things went awry since that time, and never had he given her a reason to doubt his intentions towards her. But it was so hard, so hard to let go and give in to her need for him. Not when her mind kept reminding her of every time she trusted someone only to get betrayed at the end. First, it was Keith. Then Samuel. Tyra. And now, the last person she would have ever expected to betray her. Not to mention that her birth parents gave her away for money. It was as if every person she allowed to got close to would eventually hurt her. As if nobody ever cared enough to want to keep her around.

Perhaps I should have forgiven her. I placed a comforting hand on his shoulder, understanding the pain he was feeling. "None of that is your fault. You did nothing wrong." "You think I would have been devastated when she died, but I felt nothing. That's what it's like when you find your mate and they betray you. All of your feelings vanish, and you're left with a black hole in your chest." His feelings resonated with mine; Dion had betrayed me as well. But I still couldn't hate him. It was a complicated mix of emotions that I struggled to untangle.

A reality I have been wrestling with since that night. “He was betrayed,” Jeb corrects gently. “ Not only by you, but by the mother who had him for vengeance, by the grandmother you turned him against the chance to find love and guidance from his family, and now, in his eyes, by you, who he perhaps saw as some sort of understanding. It doesn’t matter that he has betrayed others and hurt others to attain whatever he felt he needed. Pride turns pain into fury and fury blinds.” We pass the training grounds. I watch two young males circle each other, testing dominance without violence.

The second was resting in my bed right now. I hated the elders— I always have— I just thought that Elder Abel was different because of the way he spoke to me, how he usually manages to see to it that I keep a cool head. Of course, I was grateful for that, but not when it came down to it. Not when I’d not only seen but lived through being betrayed by the same person I let myself trust so much, even with my life. Finally, I sat down without taking my eyes off him, and with a small sigh, I drew the energy back just enough for him to breathe.
