And I was too blind to see it." My hand tightened on the phone, my jaw clenching so hard I thought my teeth might crack. "You failed to protect her." "I know," Anton said, his voice breaking. "I was so depressed over losing my mate that I didn't see what was happening right under my nose. Leah gives her heart and soul to everything she does, to everyone she loves. And Shane robbed her of that. He took her earnest feelings and crushed them. I'm afraid she'll never trust again."

Not yet. And as I stared at him, I realized—though I would never admit it aloud yet—that the bond, the fire between us, had only grown stronger in this clash.

And she destroyed that trust.” Alexander reached for her hand. “No one will ever hurt you again. I promise.” “Do you mean it?” she whispered, meeting his gaze. “I swear it,” he said, sealing the vow with a kiss. Shawn’s voice interrupted them. “Alpha, she’s been caught.”

It was a duel between anger and desire, between betrayal and nostalgia. Rosalie’s heart was engulfed in a hurricane, a storm that consumed her.

But still, there was something in the regularity of those connections that pulled her, as if a part of her wanted to break the silence, to confront the past that had been left unresolved.

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!"

"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.

If a wolf does not share the pain with its human, the wolf will die much faster than if the human and wolf share the pains. I cannot let you die! I need you!” “Lily, Lily, Lily, calm down. Yes, betrayal pains can kill most wolves. But I am not most wolves. I am different. You know that. If it ever gets to be too much for me, I will let you know and we can come back and reject that a&&hole. In the meantime, let me do this. For you and for me.” I sigh. Rose’s plan sounds like it will work, but I once again have that pain in my stomach telling me it may be too good to be true. But at this

Tears welled in her eyes, threatening to spill over, as the weight of the betrayal settled upon her shoulders. Liam's expression mirrored her pain, his voice tinged with a deep sense of disappointment. "I can't fathom why they would betray us like this," he replied, his voice heavy with the weight of betrayal. "The foundation of our relationship feels shattered, and I don't know if forgiveness is possible."

she demanded, her voice wavering with a tiny fraction of insecurity. "What? God, no!" I recoiled in visceral disgust. "She did what she did in our own living room. There is absolutely no excusing or moving past that betrayal. The trust was completely gone long before she even slept with Joe, but afterwards? I have zero love, zero affection, and zero obligation towards that woman. Rosie is the only connection left between us, and she is the singular reason I will even attempt to be civil with Laila."
