Betrayed By My Mate Saved By His Rival
For our seventh anniversary, my mate, Alpha Ethan, sent my daughter and me to the Moon Goddess Altar.
He told me it was a surprise—to give our daughter her dream of watching a meteor shower from the highest peak in the territory.
But Ethan never came. The protective runes at my feet sputtered, then died. The ground beneath us began to crumble.
My daughter screamed, her small body sliding toward the abyss. I lunged, grabbing her hand just before she went over the edge.
I screamed his name through our mind-link. Ninety-nine times, he refused to answer.
On my hundredth cry, the link didn't just open—it was ripped wide.
It wasn’t his voice that answered. It was his senses, flooding mine.
I saw it all. Him. Another she-wolf. And him, buried deep inside of her.
"I knew you loved me, Ethan," her sickly-sweet voice purred. "You even sacrificed Marcus, just to save our Leo from the soul-sickness. I'll do anything for you."
Ethan’s voice was velvet and ice.
"Stop. If Sera hadn't betrayed me, you never would have had the chance to carry my heir. Once I get rid of her other pup—Jullian's bastard—we can be perfect again."
My world shattered.
My son... Rogues. I'd always believed rogues had stolen him. But it was his own father. He sacrificed him for a lie.
With my last ounce of strength, I called Julian.
"I'm breaking my bond with Ethan," I snarled into the new link. "Make me your Luna. In return, I will help you burn his pack to the ground."
