After My Mate Betrayed Me, I Stole His Heir

The morning light filtered through the tall windows of the Pack House as I arranged the fresh-cut lilies in a crystal vase. My fingers lingered on the delicate petals—just as Greyson had lingered on my skin last night, his touch passionate but somehow distant. I pushed the thought away. Today was important. "Perfect," I whispered, stepping back to admire my work. The grand hall sparkled with silver and blue decorations—Silverclaw Pack colors—for Greyson's birthday celebration tonight. Everything had to be flawless. I was Gianna Hayes, the Luna of Silverclaw Pack, and my Alpha deserved nothing less than perfection. My wolf, Aria, stirred within me. *He seems distracted lately.* "He's busy," I replied silently.

"Perfect," I whispered, stepping back to admire my work. The grand hall sparkled with silver and blue decorations—Silverclaw Pack colors—for Greyson's birthday celebration tonight. Everything had to be flawless. I was Gianna Hayes, the Luna of Silverclaw Pack, and my Alpha deserved nothing less than perfection.

My wolf, Aria, stirred within me. *He seems distracted lately.*

"He's busy," I replied silently. "The northern border dispute requires attention."

But even as I thought it, doubt crept in. Greyson had been distant for weeks now—coming to bed late, leaving early, his scent sometimes carrying traces of pine and jasmine that weren't from our shared gardens.

"Luna Gianna?" A young Delta appeared in the doorway, bowing respectfully. "The caterers need your approval on the menu."

I straightened my shoulders, adjusting the silver crescent moon pendant that marked me as Luna. "Of course."

As I moved through the Pack House, pack members nodded respectfully. I had worked hard to earn their admiration—learning their names, remembering their birthdays, supporting their families when needed. The role of Luna wasn't just a title; it was a sacred duty I took seriously.

"Everything looks wonderful," I told the catering team, tasting a small bite of the venison stew. "Though perhaps a bit more rosemary?"

My phone buzzed in my pocket. A message from an unknown number. I waited until I was alone in my office before opening it.

The video loaded slowly, pixel by pixel, until my heart stopped.

Greyson—my mate, my Alpha, my everything—pinned beneath him a woman with copper hair and a warrior's build. Briana Lane. His personal assistant. Her head thrown back in ecstasy as he marked her neck with kisses that should have been mine alone.

"He's magnificent, isn't he?" Briana's voice came through the video, though her face wasn't visible. "So powerful. So hungry. Does he ever look at you the way he looks at me?"

Aria howled in agony inside me, clawing at my chest. The mate bond—that sacred connection blessed by the Moon Goddess herself—twisted painfully, as if someone had taken a knife to it.

"I thought you should know what your Alpha does when you're not around," Briana continued, her voice dripping with satisfaction. "He says you're too...proper. Too perfect. He needs someone who can handle his wolf."

I dropped the phone as if it had burned me. The video continued playing, but I couldn't bear to watch anymore. My hands trembled as I picked it up and deleted it, though I knew the image was burned into my mind forever.

Aria whimpered. *He betrayed us. Our Alpha betrayed us.*

"No," I whispered, though tears streamed down my face. "There must be an explanation."

But deep down, I knew better. The scent on his clothes. The late nights. The way he'd stopped looking into my eyes during lovemaking.

I pressed my palm against my stomach, feeling the faintest flutter of something I hadn't noticed before. Could it be? No, it couldn't be that time already...

A plan formed in my mind—desperate, perhaps, but necessary.

"Greyson," I called softly that evening, watching him adjust his tie in the mirror. "I need to speak with you."

He turned, his handsome face unreadable. "What is it, Gianna? I have a council meeting in twenty minutes."

"It's important," I said, forcing my voice to remain steady. "I think I might be pregnant."

His eyes widened slightly—a flicker of something crossing his face. Guilt? Fear? Or simply surprise?

"Pregnant?" he repeated, his voice carefully neutral.

"Yes," I lied, watching him closely. "I've been feeling...different. The healer thinks it might be early signs."

He approached slowly, placing his hands on my shoulders. "We'll see the healer tomorrow to confirm it."

"Of course," I smiled, though it felt like breaking glass. "I just wanted you to know first."

He nodded, kissing my forehead briefly before leaving for his meeting. No excitement. No joy. Just...calculation.

"The Luna requests your presence at the healing den," a young pack member told Elena, the pack healer, as I waited nervously in the antechamber.

Elena entered with her usual calm demeanor, but her eyes widened slightly when she saw me. "Luna Gianna, what brings you here?"

"I need to know if I'm pregnant," I whispered, glancing at the door to ensure we were alone. "And I need you to keep it confidential if I am."

She nodded solemnly, placing her hands on my abdomen. Her eyes closed as she connected with her healing abilities, sensing what I couldn't yet confirm.

"Luna," she said finally, her voice gentle but firm. "You are carrying the Alpha's heir. About six weeks along."

The world seemed to tilt beneath me. A child. Greyson's child. Our child.

And a mate bond tainted beyond repair.

Aria growled inside me. *We must protect the pup.*

They took everything from her. Her freedom, her pack, and her name. Sofia Fletcher has survived four years of slavery, a mate who rejected her for her own stepsister, and the kind of cruelty that teaches you never to hope. She has one rule left: trust no one. Then Draco walks into an auction house and takes her. He doesn't bid. He doesn't ask. He simply crosses a room full of bowed heads because when the most powerful being alive enters, everyone drops their eyes, and he takes her home. He is an Alpha King like no other. Werewolf. Vampire. Demon king. Dragon slayer. Immortal. And he has been searching for Sofia for years, because she is the one thing in his long, terrible life he cannot walk away from. His fated mate. Sofia wants nothing to do with him. She is an Omega the lowest rank in pack society with a dangerous secret buried in her blood, and a past that left scars no one is allowed to touch. Draco is patient, possessive, and impossible to ignore, and the mate bond humming beneath her skin is beginning to feel less like a curse and more like an answer. But Sofia's secret is the kind that gets witches killed. And Draco's world is full of enemies including the brother who wants to destroy him, and the father who will use anyone to take back what he lost. Falling for the Alpha King was never the plan but fate has it's own plan.

The year of the great famine was a time of unrelenting despair. My mother, the light of my life, was on the brink of death. In a moment of sheer desperation, I was approached by Alpha Daniel's mother. She offered me a deal. "Become Luna for ten years, and your mother will be saved," . I agreed, not knowing the true extent of the sacrifice I was about to make. It was only later that I discovered the real reason behind her offer. I was a mere substitute. I resembled Snow, the woman Alpha Daniel had loved with a passion that burned bright and fierce. But Snow had betrayed him, running off with another man and bearing his child. And so, I was brought in, a stand - in,. The day of my wedding was a farce. The grand hall was filled with the laughter and chatter of the pack. From that moment on, our marriage was a living nightmare. Over the next ten years, he took concubine after concubine, filling the castle with the sounds of their laughter and their whispers. And when the day of my child's birth arrived I lay in the birthing chamber, screaming in agony, while Alpha Daniel was in the arms of another woman, lost in a world of pleasure. Despite my best efforts, I could not save my child. And when my contract with Sara finally expired, I did not hesitate. I gathered my mother, who had miraculously survived the famine, and we left that place of pain and suffering behind. It was only later that Alpha Daniel discovered the truth. He learned of Snow's betrayal, of the lies that had been told. But by then, it was too late.

I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms as I heard my mate, Alpha Gideon, speak about me to his pack. “It’s a pity Ophelia’s so naive,” he said. “She still thinks I’d ever mark her as my Luna after everything.” His voice dripped with contempt, as if he were talking about something absurd—not me, his mate, the she-wolf he once claimed would be his Luna. “I don’t have any unusual tastes. I could pick any she-wolf off the street, and she’d be cleaner than her.” Laughter rippled through the group, accompanied by nods of agreement. “Would you mark me as your Luna?” Aurora, his Gamma and mistress, chimed in with a playful tone. Through the crack in the door, I saw Gideon smile slyly, pulling her into his arms. “Of course I would,” Alpha Gideon replied. One of his bold packmates, clearly curious, asked, “How do we address them both? We can’t call them both Luna, right?” “You idiot,” another muttered. “Gideon’s never acknowledged Ophelia’s status.” “I can’t say much, but trust me, Gideon’s not marking a she-wolf like her.” I leaned against the wall, heart sinking as I listened to them dissect my relationship with Alpha Gideon. Suddenly, my phone pinged with an AirDrop message. Without thinking, I opened it. It was a photo. The image captured my mate and his gamma mistress in a tight embrace, completely oblivious to the world around them. Then, Aurora smugly flashed her phone at me, sending another message. “Ophelia, did you know that every time he’s with you, he feels sick for a week and has to come to me for comfort?” “He said every time he touches you, it reminds him of how you debased yourself for those pack alliances. It’s disgusting.” So, that’s why Gideon never acknowledged my status? A chill spread through my body, freezing my veins...

I smelled him before I saw his name. That should have been my first warning. The Come of Age Ceremony was held at the Greywood Hall, a sprawling estate in neutral territory that smelled like pine resin and old money and the careful anxiety of two dozen Alphas trying not to look like they were watching each other. I had been here for three hours. I had shaken hands with seven pack leaders, declined four alliance proposals, and accepted one glass of whiskey that I had not touched. Lucy stood two steps behind my left shoulder the way she always did — close enough to hear everything, far enough to give me room to be the most dangerous thing in the room. I was good at that. Being the most dangerous thing in the room. The Ironveil Pack had not been built on birthright or bloodline. It had been built on six years of surviving things that should have killed me, and then turning around and making sure they couldn't try again.

My Alpha Rejected Me for His Mistress, Then Begged Back

Eight years. Eight years of sleepless nights, of pouring over maps and intelligence reports, of calling in favors from pack leaders who owed me nothing, of fighting battles that weren't mine just to keep the Crescent Pack breathing. And today, after three grueling weeks of negotiation that nearly broke my body, I had finally done the impossible. I had secured the Lycan Council's protection treaty. The signed documents were still warm in my hands when Elena Sorin fell into step beside me in the pack house corridor. The Council envoy was a composed woman with sharp eyes and a sharper mind, someone I had come to genuinely respect over these past weeks. She gave me a small, approving nod as we walked. 'You should rest, Jocelyn,' she said quietly. 'What you just accomplished — that hasn't been done in three decades.' I almost smiled. Almost.
