My Mate And Brother's Betrayal 소설 & 이야기

I returned to the papers I was sorting, I’d already contacted the elder and asked him to leave, I was no longer interested in the morning. Resting my back properly against the chair, I sighed as I rubbed my temple and then pinched the bridge of my nose. My eyes closed, and I wished that I could sleep. But, I’ve not been able to. Not since the betrayal of my best friend. I wasn’t really shocked at Anya, what had shocked me the most was that my best friend had allowed it. I never even knew that they’d met before I met with Anya’s parents and agreed to the marriage that had happened partly because the balance of the pack had tipped, and I needed marriage to be some sort of anchor.

"Family? You are nothing to me. If you hadn’t ended up in jail, I would have gotten rid of you myself, just like that dumb maid who thought she could tattletale on me when she caught us kissing in his study that night." The finality of her words crushed me, and I dropped to my knees, clutching my chest as sobs wracked my body. Vivian's laughter continued, a haunting sound that stayed with me long after she left. I cried until I could barely breathe, the weight of betrayal from both my mate and my sister too much to bear. My vision blurred, and the room spun around me. Just before darkness claimed me, I heard someone calling out my name, but I couldn't hold on. Everything went pitch black as

Olivia had systematically taken everything from me, piece by piece. It started years ago. William Stone, my biological father, turned against me in favor of his "real" daughter. The rejection still burned after all this time. Vivian Silver and Margaret Stone followed his lead. They withdrew their affection as if I'd never existed, treating me like a stranger when we crossed paths. Then came Ethan, falling for Olivia at first sight despite our mate bond. That betrayal cut deeper than any knife could reach. And Emma, my own daughter, who now wanted Olivia as her mother instead of me. That was the wound that never stopped bleeding, fresh pain every time she called for "Aunt Liv" instead of me.

My heart beat increased as Luka screamed in my mind " mate" I was happy that we finally found her. But then reality hit me. I felt betrayed. My mate instead of waiting for me getting married to someone else and that someone rejected my sister cause her death. Few moments ago the rage I was feeling for revenge turned into the rage of betrayal. All my anger fall on her. Then she looked at me, slowly our eyes met. My eyes full of hatred and hers are full of fear. Mate, you made a mistake and you have to pay for this. I bent down and lowered myself to her level.

The sight churned my gut with yet another grief. I mounted the steps at the front of the courtyard and turned to face him. My crown had found its way onto my head and seemed heavier than ever. The crowd stilled, eager to hear whether their Beta would live or die. I forced my voice to be steady. “Ronan, you were my Beta. My shield. My brother in arms. And you betrayed me.” He lifted his chin. “I kept faith with her, your declared mate and Luna, when you would not.”

More importantly, how I was going to deal with him. Mateo was once one of my most trusted men. Yeah, he could be a dipshit sometimes, but I didn’t think he would go crawling to help Vittoria. Something didn’t feel right, but after a week of torture, Mateo was still holding strong. I had no information, no clues and I could tell that Louis was breaking. Having him beat the living shit out of his younger brother couldn’t have been easy, but he was just as furious as I was. I sensed that a minor part of his sadistic mind enjoyed inflicting pain on him for his brother’s betrayal. Vinnie had argued with me for the better part of that morning until Emiliana stepped into the kitchen and the room fe

“You shouldn't have had to come looking for me, Azalea; that's on me.” Something in his tone was heavy and full of refer that made my heart ache, but before I could respond, his voice came rushing out like a dam breaking. “Do you have any idea what you've done?” He asked, pacing the room. “Everyone knows now, Azalea. Everyone knows now that you're my mate.” The air left my lungs in a rush. “What?” I whispered. “How?” “My brother,” he growled, his tone dripping with bitterness. “He twisted the truth and made it sound like I betrayed them. Like I turned my back on them for a human.”

Although, I am not sure if she is even aware that she is not speaking with Malleteagan anymore. “Well, girlie, I am becoming bored and have a battle to lead. Do you plan to continue with the staring contest, or do you want to talk? The question is simple: how can I trust you and your treacherous mate, as well as your gang of wannabe sorcerers? He betrayed me, and you betrayed your ruler, although she holds your sisters hostage. That means that you have not just betrayed your ruler but your sisters, too. You betrayed your family. The one who gives up on own family can betray anyone.” I said and felt a pang of pain and guilt as my thoughts drifted away to my mate and daughter.

I felt betrayed that I had been honest with her and had been preparing for a divorce with Madeline, but in the end, I had come to accept that I had to share my beloved mate with my twin brother. The sting of betrayal was sharper than I expected. Our father had always joked that Theo and I might end up sharing everything, including a mate. I used to laugh it off. Not anymore. It had become my reality, and no matter how much it hurt, I found myself learning to accept it. Even if the acceptance came with a bitter taste. Then fate twisted the knife. Uncle Cretheus. My father's brother. My uncle. Another bond, another mate, tied to my sunshine, Kasumi.

Cade came at me and I jumped out of the way. “I trusted you,” I shouted at him. “You were my brother, and you betrayed me.” “You betrayed yourself,” he shouted back. “I gave up everything for you. I did awful things and I almost lost my mate because of you.” He rushed at me again and I jumped away again.
