She's not drinking it, just holding it, the condensation beading on the glass and dripping onto her fingers. "I've been thinking about betrayal lately," she says. The word sits between us on the railing. Heavy. Deliberate. Chosen. "As a concept?" I ask. "As a pattern." She pauses. The harbor glitters below us, indifferent. "People don't betray you because they're weak, or amoral, or even because they're afraid. They betray you because they were never the person you believed them to be. The betrayal was always there, latent, waiting for a situation that made it more useful than the alternative."

The divorce had granted me momentary satisfaction, securing millions in alimony and shared property was a sure win that had embraced my cold heart like a warm, cozy blanket. But recovering from the betrayal didn't happen overnight; in fact, it still didn't happen when I was amid familiar faces celebrating my freedom. A long list of guys approached me, a handful had been mutual friends between my ex and me, Hmpf! I guess loyalty was something all of them lacked. Of course, I turned them down and tried to occupy myself with drinks. I wasn't a big drinker, as a model, I had to be careful about what I let into my system, but tonight, I didn't care.

My body aches, the bond with my mate slowly breaking, every second an aching reminder in the form of physical pain like the universe itself holds me responsible for my husband’s betrayal. I try to hold myself back from crying. I try to tell myself that I am stronger than this. That I am a Luna. But when reality comes crashing down on me, it crushes my spirit as well. Squeezes my heart to the point of bleeding, leaving me breathless.

I was in deep thoughts still trying to understand the reason why she is with my husband in the first place when she has someone like Zach by her side. “Work calls, you know I'm actually thinking of quitting this bar job and just focused on my morning shift at the company.” I was still thinking about what she just told me so I couldn't even respond to what she was talking about. “Kyla, I know this isn't easy for you, if I were in your shoes I wouldn't know how to handle such a situation as well, so I want you to calm down and not do anything stupid.” “Sally, you don't understand how I feel, he betrayed me, he broke the trust in our relationship. Do you even have an idea of how that hurts?”

She disappeared down the road. It was too late for regret. Regret meant nothing when it showed up after the damage was done. A month passed before we heard about them again. Lyris lost a leg in the crash. The baby she had abandoned during her escape—her own child—died alone at home from starvation. She was found guilty of treason for siding with the rogues and betraying her own kind. The judges of the Kingdom of Volvia sentenced her to death, carried out with the harshest punishment allowed.

I hissed, my voice raw with fury, like a caged animal finally baring its teeth, I took this s my cue, I couldn't stand her presence. I turned and ran. Straight to my car, straight away from her, from this nightmare. Tears blurred my vision as I gripped the steering wheel tightly, my knuckles white. The road ahead was nothing but moving streaks of light and darkness, but I barely saw it. My chest ached. My breaths were uneven. My best friend. My husband. The betrayal was a knife lodged so deep, I wasn’t sure I’d ever pull it out. I had suspected something was off—his late nights, the distance between us—but Evelyn?

“This isn’t about me, Luca. It’s about what’s been happening. The leaks, the ambushes… someone’s been giving Gianni information. And now Sofia’s saying it’s you.” Marco steps forward, his jaw tight. “You’re not answering the question, Luca.” Luca holds Marco’s eyes, refusing to back down. “Because there’s nothing to answer. I’m not the traitor.” Another long, nervous quiet falls between them, and I can feel the weight of the choice Marco is about to make pressing down on all of us. I can see the emotional fight in his eyes, the tension tearing him apart. Luca has been his most trusted man, his right hand. To accuse him of betrayal… it’s almost unthinkable. But then again, treachery often com

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.

My mind raced with conflicting emotions – anger, heartbreak, and a profound sense of betrayal. I hesitated, considering whether to make them aware of my presence, but a second thought held me back. Instead, I quietly left. Their moans echoed in my ears as I closed the door behind me. My mother had never supported my marriage to Maxwell. In defiance, I had severed ties with her. The sacrifices we make for love. I brushed away the tears streaming down my face, a mixture of heartache and regret. The possibility of Ava and Maxwell being involved wasn't a shock; it seemed like an ongoing betrayal behind my back. The weight of deception sank in, leaving me grappling with a sense of numbness.

Brandon could still feel the pain in his heart when he'd seen his love once fall; he could still feel the warmth that coated his arms, chest, and thighs; he could feel the arms that wrapped around his chest and had pulled him away from a gasping Trisha when he threw her out with her newborn baby. And sometimes, on days like today, the pain that he felt in his body was eclipsed by the pain in his heart, the pain he felt inside formed by his own betrayal. His physical pain from slowly killing himself somehow was less than the emotional pain he caused Trisha when he had taken Jonathan from her and refused to trust Trisha, and maybe that was the worst betrayal of all.
