32 Times Betrayed

"For seven years of marriage, my Alpha mate, Cassian Blackthorn, slept with thirty-two different women, every single one of them from my circle.I didn’t know how much longer I could endure it. Even when I was seven months pregnant, as I went to my prenatal check-ups alone, I kept enduring.Alas, disaster struck without warning. Cassian’s new fling, Sophia Corwin, led a pack of rogue wolves to ambush me.I clutched my belly with all my strength, begging Sophia to spare me and my child.She only sneered. "Ha. That wasn’t me. If you’re looking for the real culprit, go find them yourself."By the time a passerby found me and rushed me to the hospital, it was already too late.

Hatred, grief, and fury rose inside me like a tidal wave, drowning everything else.Cassian’s father, Leon Blackthorn, came to the hospital to see me.Expressionless, I stared at him."Let me go, Leon," I said in a raw and hoarse voice. "Whatever I owed you, I’ve paid it back in full.""
