Alpha’s Betrayal, Luna’s Redemption
Chapter 19
As I was contemplating how to deal with the two of them, Ariella arrived with Jalen in tow.
They came with the air of victors, masking their words of concern with subtle jabs meant to undermine me.
“Sister,” Ariella began, her voice dripping with faux sympathy, “your character has always been questionable, and now your reputation is in ruins. What will become of you?”
“If Jalen were to reject you completely,” she continued, her tone sweet yet cutting, “Father would surely rush to silence the rumors by hastily arranging a mark ceremony for you.”
“At that point,” she added with a smirk, “even the omega from the outskirts could come asking for your scent, and Father might just agree.”
I stared at her coldly, waiting for her to finish before speaking. “Ariella,” I said, my voice steady, “do you truly enjoy sharing a mate with someone else?”
Ariella met my gaze without flinching, her smile widening. “I don’t care,” she replied sweetly, “as long as I’ve bested you.”
I couldn’t help but feel a bitter amusement at their twisted bond. Ariella wanted to surpass me, and Jalen was all too willing to push me into submission to make her happy. Together, they were relentless in their pursuit of their goals.
Her words weren’t an empty threat. They had already gone to my parents, whispering lies and half-truths, successfully planting the idea in Father’s mind to hastily arrange a mark ceremony for me. Their actions were despicable, and my hatred for them burned brighter than ever.
Until my plans came to fruition, I had no desire to see their faces again. But the deltas and omegas in the pack house held Ariella in higher regard than me, and they wouldn’t dare stop her or Jalen from entering.
Determined to take control, I used my own wealth to replace the deltas at my residence. I gave them strict orders: under no circumstances were Ariella and Jalen to be allowed into my home.
This small act of defiance was a step toward reclaiming my independence, and I refused to let them trample over me any longer.
