The Loyalties We Break Katelyn Taylor Novels & Stories

There, you would put her loyalty to test. “Put her to the test?” “Issue an order to her, something against her wish, something that would reveal where her loyalty truly lies – with you or with the pack.” Kyle felt cold down his spine. He clearly understood what they were asking for. They want to see her spirit shattered – to find out if she would show loyalty or fight back against their authority. By noonday, Lydia found Kyle at the Eastern gate, his face looked difficult to understand. There were too many unspoken words between them.

“Valuable how, Katherine? Words are cheap. Tell me something worth the weight of your life.” She didn’t blink. Didn’t tremble. Instead, she drew in a measured breath and straightened in her seat, folding her hands neatly on the table between us. “You’ve already proven you can kill,” she said. “But you haven’t proven you can rule without tearing everything apart in the process. Keep me alive, and I’ll give you something Luna never could.” Her voice lowered, softer but lethal. “Loyalty. Not love, not friendship. Pure loyalty. I’ll bind myself to your side if it means I keep breathing.”

"I do not know. As far as I remember, she was the one who broke up with me. Is it Lia's fault that she came into my life?" I feel sorry for her due to the fact Kate is already pressuring her and I knew Kate ever, even they knew her as an angel however she's a war-freak and an average girl. It's good that she broke up with me. Lia rolled her eyes, "Well, Katelyn," I heard Lia react, "I'd love it when you have a bit feeling of rhythm, it is simpler for us people who are behind you," Lia responded frivolously and flipped her hair.

I gesture vaguely toward the conference room, “she’s been right here. Talking to you. Working. Alive.” My voice is loud now. Too loud. I don’t care. “Explain right now!” Kate’s jaw tightens. She opens her mouth, closes it, then finally snaps. “I don’t owe you anything.” The room goes still. “This is between you and your wife. My loyalty,” she continues, voice shaking but firm, “is to Lauren. And if she asks me not to tell you she’s been in contact, then I won’t.” I scoff. “That’s convenient.”

“As your husband, I denounce you. Your blood is no longer my blood.” “No,” Katelynn whispered, tears streaming down her face. “You are devoid of my love and protection. My loyalty is yours no longer. You are mine no longer. I break the ties that bind us.” Kate grunted and crumbled to the floor. Matthew turned away from her, looking straight at his brother. Declan could see the utter pain on his face, and he wished there was something, anything, he could do to spare him what was to come. “We have come to a decision,” Lucy said.

He took the phone from my hand. “You found the nursery rhyme,” Kailen said. “You're sloppy,” Carlino responded. “Am I?” “You left a trail.” “I wanted you to follow.” “To my docks?” “To your past.” “You're running out of leverage.” “On the contrary…” Kailen shifted the camera behind me. “That's not possible,” Carlino said, disbelieve clutching onto him. “You should have looked for a body.” Kailen smiled brightly. When the call ended. He looked at me. “You’re loyal.” He stepped closer. “But loyalty,” he continued, “is a weakness.”

Even Beta Mark was intimidated and scared by the look but he was trying to hold his confidence. “Cousin, see what they are doing to me.” Katelyn pulled on her manipulative face, pretending to cry. I looked at Beta Mark, he was lost and did not want to involve himself especially when the Alpha’s boys were involved. At least, he was smart enough not to cross the boys. One of them took the phone but as he was about to bring it to Zach, Katelyn kicked it out of his hands and quickly stepped on it. It broke into pieces. This girl was a devil. She broke her own phone to hide her evil deeds?

I hadn't expected her to hand me exactly what I needed on a silver platter. Between her confession, Ryan's name on the ultrasound, and his own admission of "sowing his seed," there was more than enough evidence to prove he was the one at fault. The Council convened and immediately ruled that infidelity had been established. Our mate bond would be automatically severed in one month. As I walked out of the Council hall, Ryan was waiting, his eyes rimmed with red. "Celine, do you really hate me this much? Is there truly no room for forgiveness?"

We had been engaged for a year, yes—but it was the kind of engagement built on business dinners, polite smiles, and two powerful families merging interests. Love had never been part of the equation. And Lauren knew that perfectly well. Which meant the tears were mostly for the audience. I knew her well enough to recognize the performance. The breakdown. The trembling. The dramatic heartbreak. She wasn’t just angry. She was building sympathy. Playing the victim. Once the cameras disappeared, I had no doubt she would tear me apart in private. Elizabeth’s mother cleared her throat loudly. “So what happens now?” she demanded. Both Lauren and I looked at her.
