Checkmate The Betrayal Novels & Stories

Her heart hammered away so fast that she felt it would explode from pain and anger. The man chained before her coughed, choking a little on his blood. “I’ve told you everything I know. Please let me go.” “I never said I would.” she spins around and thrusts her claw into his chest and she rips out his beating heart before dropping it down on the floor. His eyes lose their light, and within a few seconds, he dies, and his head dropped. Her racing heart slows, but the pain remained and she knew she wasn’t done. She thought she could start over, live in peace and move on from the pain and betrayal, but somehow the past, named Dane, wouldn’t let her live.

Sera suggested. "Girl!!! Which side are you on?" Nina asked Sera. "Right!! She had always preferred Gabriella to me." Bella mumbled. "What rubbish are you saying, Bella? You're not the only one that's hurt. You are not the only one that's feeling betrayed. You are not the only one that feels played. I'm really mad and against what happened. This issue is a very sensitive one and I believe if we don't handle it the proper way, we might end up doing something that we will eventually regret."

Matteo appeared at my door, obviously sent in by Gabriel to calm the storm and to talk some sense into me. “Listen, I can spare you two guys for the afternoon to help you clean up. I don’t know where Maria is, but I suppose she got the afternoon off. Put on a brave face, finish the week and we will talk about this tomorrow afternoon ok?” he said soothingly. “No! Fuck Gabriel and fuck this place! I’m leaving!” I screamed at Matteo. Taken aback by my outburst, Matteo grabbed me and hugged me until I had calmed down. Tears of rage, betrayal and disbelief ran down my face, soaking Matteo’s shirt while he calmly patted my hair and rocked me in his arms.

And I betrayed him; mom betrayed me; Ingrid betrayed me; Felicity betrayed him; Garrett betrayed us. Fainting is quick and painless; Claude's voice is a muffled shout before everything goes black.

“They’re not asking for war. They’re asking for surrender. They think we’ll choose peace if it means losing just one wolf.” I looked around at them—eyes, scars, memories etched into every face. “But I’m not just one wolf. I am the line that survived. The broken oath. The blood that lived. And if I kneel, they won’t stop.” Alex stepped beside me. “If she kneels, we all do.” Nova’s betrayal was still raw. No one had said her name in hours. But I knew it was coming. Someone had to say it. Someone had to cut open the wound so it could fester or heal.

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 says. “Or, it’s possible that dad called Alpha Carter and told him what his Beta has been doing behind his back,” I tell Rich. I knew dad was pissed when he found out that Beta Trevor was using spells to alter the memory of his Alpha. The only betrayal that would be worse to an Alpha, is the betrayal of their mate. There’s a scuffle outside the door before it flies open and Meadow and Tate rush in with knives in their hands. “Don’t you dare hurt our sister.” Tate says, pointing the knife at Rich.

I drove a fist into his face. "You? With a trick like that? Mate?" His laugh died on his lips. He stared, eyes bulging. I'd already been marked by Darius. A cheap one-sided blood pact had no chance against the absolute mark of a stronger Alpha. "Die!" Delilah lunged at my flank. I broke both her arms. Her screams ricocheted down the narrow duct. Logan flipped instantly. Begged for his life. Said the Order forced him. Said he'd loved me all along.

I demanded. “It means,” he said coolly, “that you are not the wronged party you pretend to be.” I felt my wolf stir, uneasy. “You slept with her,” I said. “You betrayed me.” “And you humiliated me before every Alpha in the realm,” he shot back. “You undermined my rule.” “I spoke the truth!” “You took my authority and made it your own,” he said. “Do not dress it up as righteousness.” I searched his face, desperate now. “Tell me something, then. Do you love her?”

He wanted to make sure that Luke Blackwood would forever be a traitor, a criminal, a man who'd die without honour, a man who'd die a disgrace. As the flames gradually turned the white paper black, he looked directly into the camera, his eyes were burning with satisfaction. Jane and Michael could literally hear his joy. He continued to speak to Luke who was powerless and defenseless. He mouthed a single word at the camera. A word that was a decree of a fight, a promise of the pain that is yet to come. “Checkmate.” After the word, the live feed went dead. Then the screen went blank. They had played right into his path.
