Story: Moonlight Betrayal
Orion was obviously disappointed, but he nodded. “It’s alright. I’ll wait. When you’re ready, come find me. I’ll always be by your side.”
My life has been one of peace since then. After I arrived in Orion’s pack, I was preoccupied with taking care of its affairs and had no time for anything else.
Until one day, Daxton appeared suddenly.
He probably hadn’t slept in days because he appeared so unstable. He no longer looked at me with disdain. There was only regret.
Daxton’s pack had clearly weakened as a result of what had occurred. There were even rumours that someone in the pack was plotting a rebellion.
That was because, after the fight at the altar, Orion broke Daxton’s leg and injected silver into the wound, rendering it unhealable. He now had a limp, resembling a crippled werewolf.
He got down on his knees and begged my forgiveness, swearing he would never betray me again.
But when I remembered what had happened in my previous life, I didn’t want to see him anymore. I told the guards to eject him, but he desperately grabbed me.
“Vera, why did you choose Orion? He used to be an exiled Rogue. He isn’t worthy of you. I know you’re just trying to make me angry. You’ve loved me for so many years. I refuse to believe you have a change of heart for someone you just recently met. I know what I did was wrong, but we are fated mates. We’re meant to be together.”
He pleaded with everything he could think of. I couldn’t tell how genuine his words were, but when I remembered what had happened to me and how my dog had been skinned alive in my previous life, all I could feel was disgust.
I wasn’t going to mince words: “You think too highly of yourself. Don’t forget you and Orion are twins, and the fate between twins is shared. Both of you are my fated mates, so you’re never my only choice.”
Daxton began howling frantically while on his knees. He couldn’t believe that someone who had once loved him so much could now be so heartless.
Daxton had been relying on the fact that he was the pack’s Alpha and I was carrying his pup in my womb to convince himself that I would never abandon him. That was why he did whatever he pleased.
But now that he had nothing, how else could he keep me?
“Vera, please come back. I know you never genuinely love Orion. We can start over.”
I said coldly, “Didn’t you like Alina? Now you can have your dream come true. I won’t disturb you again.”
Daxton lifted his head, dazed. He grasped me with trembling hands. “No… I never liked Alina. I only treated her as my younger sister. I never had any feelings for her. I swear I’ll send her away. She won’t disturb us again. Only after you left did I realise that being Alpha or Alina matters little. I just want you back.”
I picked up a glass of water from the table and poured it over his head. Looking at how dishevelled he appeared, I said, “We can never go back to the way things were; why don’t you look at yourself now?”
Daxton wanted to say something else, but Orion, who had finally arrived, noticed him.
“How did you get in? Who allowed you in?” Orion asked, clearly upset by his tone. “Vera’s my Luna now, so you better keep your hands to yourself.”
