When Family Betrays You Novels & Stories

"let's just say...I know what it feels like to be betrayed" "Oh! Did your mate leave you too?!" I asked. Who would leave a man like Rune? "Betrayal doesn't come from our mates only Seraphina. Sometimes our biggest betrayal comes from our family"

His jaw tightened as the weight of my family’s betrayal settled between us like a heavy stone. I had never wanted to be in this position. I had never asked for any of this. But I had to face the truth now: my family, the people I had trusted, had been conspiring against Damian for years. They had plotted with Evan, and I had been too blind to see it. “I don’t know, Damian. They never told me. I was just… I was just trying to survive, trying to make sense of everything. I didn’t even know Evan was involved until everything blew up.”

Killian asked and Maya narrowed her eyes at him. " If you betray me, all our promises will be void. I will leave and you'll never find me again." She answered. " Are you planning on betraying me?" Although she had a smile on her face, her heart trembled as she asked that question. Betrayal was something that accompanied her whole life. Her family betrayed her, casting her aside and treating her like an outsider. Then Theo happened. He was Once her world. She worshipped him but at the end of the day, he didn't keep his promise to her so she chose to leave, finding herself in the arms of Killian.

I just didn't want to be lied to, especially by my mate. 'Raven is not Reign. I guess it is time we let that sink. Otherwise, we will drive her away from us, and we may never know what her secrets are until it is too late,' Roman said and got up to go get dressed. I was sober. I was the worst of the both of us. Truly I had tasted the bitter pill called betrayal that nearly ruined my family. If Reign had wanted me dead the day she asked Dad to thrash me within an inch of my last life, then I would have been killed by a woman I thought I saved.

After all, what could they do to help us against the usurper? We never saw it coming. We never expected that the calm, collected, and timid Beta harbored such extreme resentment for his older brother, enough to kill him and blame his nephew for the crime. It was beyond his character, or perhaps we were just blinded by his pretentious facade. His betrayal was unexpected, and it was the most painful for the Alpha family. Being from the same blood made the deception the most bitter pill to swallow.

How could I have been so blind? I’m shoving the last of Aurelia’s belongings into a suitcase when my mother begins to call me. I answer it on speaker as I drag the suitcase to the front door, then go into my guest room to start packing Hannah’s belongings. “Son, you need to come home. We need to discuss this matter. I’m sure it’s a misunderstanding. Hannah and Aurelia are family.” “They are not my family. Hannah is nothing more than an overpriced prostitute, who lied to us for years. She raised a monster who finally got an ass whooping she deserved.”

The worst form of betrayal comes from the people you never expected it from. My family. My own husband and his parents, stabbing me in the back, literally. Lying to me, deceiving me, making me look like the biggest fool ever. But I actually am. I should have tried to know more about him before venturing into marriage, but he was in haste and I never knew why until now. He wanted to get married before his birthday, so he and his barbaric family could have a tasty meal of my intestines and flesh, then a satisfying drink of my well nourished blood to wash it all down!

I chuckled dryly. "You trust each other. You help each other." I shook my head slowly, letting the disappointment show. "I let him control it because I thought we were a unit. A family." I took another step back, physically putting distance between myself and my father. "But after everything that's happened," I stated, my voice losing all warmth. "It’s clear that 'family' is just a word that can be used to take things away from you. A word that can be used to betray you."

I could sense the weight of my mother's unwavering trust, a trust that I had exploited to shield myself from the consequences of my actions. The words hung in the air, a desperate plea from a mother who believed in her innocence. The conflict within me intensified as I questioned the path I had chosen. Was it worth sacrificing my own flesh and blood for the sake of ambition? As the conversation unfolded, I grappled with the decision I had made – to betray my own family for the sake of ambition. The vulnerability in my mother's eyes mirrored the complexity of the moral dilemma I faced. Yet, the shadows of ambition and survival loomed larger, casting long tendrils that entwined with the decept
