As Blake and I trudged through the dense forest, the weight of the warlock's revelations still heavy on my mind, I couldn't shake the sense of unease that settled over me like a suffocating blanket. The moon cast its pale glow upon us, illuminating the path ahead but doing little to dispel the darkness that lingered within.When Jame's urgent message flashed across my phone screen, my heart lurched in my chest. "Luna, something very urgent came up. Can you and Alpha please make it back home? I haven't been able to get through to him for a few hours now." His words, laden with urgency and desperation, sent a chill down my spine. What could he possibly want now, especially after what I had just learned about my own heritage?"He's looking for you, Mia," Blake's voice, filled with concern, broke through my thoughts as he read the message over my shoulder. His brows furrowed in worry, mirroring the turmoil swirling within me.Arriving at the house, Blake and I sat down while James and Gemma Isabel sat opposite us."Alpha, Luna, we received news from Alpha Chad that his sister was discovered here by one of his pack members. He is hoping to get permission from you to come get her back.""Wait, what? You mean Chromo betrayed me or what? That little prick, how could he do this to me knowing what I had been through in that selfish pack?""I'm sorry, Luna. According to the information we gathered, your brother struck a deal with the rogue to sell you over as their personal slave. And since you left, this has caused some issues between the pack and the rogue. So I'm sure that's the reason he needs you to come back."The realization of Chad's betrayal hit me like a physical blow, leaving me reeling with a mixture of anger, disbelief, and hurt. How could my own brother, my flesh and blood, have sold me out to the rogue, knowing the danger it posed to our pack and to me personally?Every memory of our shared childhood felt tainted by this revelation, the bond we once shared fractured beyond repair. How could I ever trust him again, knowing the depths of his deceit?Tears welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision as I struggled to process the betrayal that cut me to the core. "I can't believe he would do this to me," I whispered, my voice choked with emotion.Blake wrapped his arms around me, pulling me close as I let my tears fall freely against his chest. His warmth and steady presence offered a sliver of comfort in the midst of my turmoil, reminding me that I was not alone in this storm of emotions."I'm here for you, Mia. Whatever you need, I'll be by your side," he murmured, his words a lifeline in the darkness that threatened to consume me.As we stood there, locked in each other's embrace, I knew that the road ahead would be fraught with challenges and obstacles. But with Blake's unwavering support and the strength of our love to guide us, I was ready to face whatever trials awaited me, knowing that together, we could weather any storm.With a deep breath, I wiped away my tears and squared my shoulders, steeling myself for the confrontation that lay ahead. Chad may have betrayed me, but I refused to let his actions define me. I would confront him, demand answers, and reclaim control of my destiny, no matter the cost. And with Blake by my side, I knew that I was unstoppable.Heading to the bathroom to shower while Blake and his beta talked, I didn't realize that the water had turned ice cold and the tears just wouldn't stop streaming down my face. How had my life become a hunting ground not only for my grandmother but also for rogues and my own brother?And from what I remember from most of the textbooks I read, I am now also hunted by all packs around because I am a white wolf.As the icy water cascaded over me, its sting echoing the pain in my heart, I couldn't shake the overwhelming sense of betrayal and hurt that consumed me. Each drop felt like a reminder of the cold reality of my situation, the harsh truth that even those closest to me could be capable of such treachery.The weight of Chad's betrayal pressed down on me like a leaden cloak, suffocating me with its sheer magnitude. How could he, my own flesh and blood, have orchestrated such a cruel betrayal, trading my safety and well-being for his own selfish gain? The memories of our shared childhood, once cherished, now felt tainted by the knowledge of his deceit, leaving me questioning everything I thought I knew about our bond.Tears mingled with the icy water, streaming down my face in an endless cascade of sorrow and despair. Each sob wracked my body, a physical manifestation of the emotional turmoil raging within me. How could I ever trust again, knowing that even those I loved most were capable of such betrayal?The realization that I was now hunted not only by rogue elements but by packs as well, simply because of my heritage as a white wolf, added another layer of anguish to my already burdened soul. It felt as though the very essence of who I was had become a curse, marking me as a target for those who sought to exploit and control me."Why me?" The question echoed in the confines of the bathroom, a plaintive cry of anguish and frustration. Why was my life fated to be a constant battle, a never-ending struggle against forces beyond my control?Yet, amidst the darkness that threatened to engulf me, there was a glimmer of hope, a flicker of light in the depths of despair. Blake's unwavering presence, his arms offering solace and comfort, reminded me that I was not alone in this fight. Together, we would navigate the stormy seas of betrayal and adversity, emerging stronger and more resilient than before.With a deep breath, I let the cold water wash away the tears and turmoil, steeling myself for the challenges that lay ahead. Chad's betrayal may have shaken me to my core, but it would not break me. I would confront him, demand answers, and reclaim control of my destiny, armed with the unwavering support of those who stood by my side.As I stepped out of the shower, the weight of my emotions still heavy upon me, I knew that the road ahead would be fraught with uncertainty and danger. But with Blake by my side, I felt a newfound sense of strength and determination coursing through my veins. No matter what obstacles awaited us, we would face them together, united in our resolve to overcome the darkness and emerge victorious.
