Her Alpha's Ultimate Betrayal

I was sweeping the floors when a young Omega rushed in, her face pale with panic.

“Zoya! Your sister—she’s being punished by the Luna! You have to hurry!”

My stomach dropped as memories of my sister’s recent confessions about the Alpha’s son flashed through my mind. A sickening suspicion crept in, and I told the girl to find my mother while I sprinted toward the Luna’s chambers.

The metallic tang of blood hit me before I even reached the door, thick and suffocating. The Luna’s voice, sharp and venomous, carried through the air.

“I’ve been kind to you, considering how long your mother has served me. I even planned to find you a respectable mate. But it seems you’re too eager to climb the ranks, aren’t you?”

My sister’s voice, weak but defiant, cut through the tension. “Luna, I swear I’ve never—I would never—”

My heart froze. It wasn’t the Alpha’s son they were accusing her of seducing. It was the Alpha himself.

The old, balding man who my sister had once mocked, saying he looked more like her grandfather than a mate. She had always been too proud to even consider being someone’s second mate, let alone the Alpha’s.

I burst into the room without thinking, my legs trembling at the sight before me.

Alayah was sprawled on the floor, her body limp and her lower half drenched in blood. Yet, her head was raised, her eyes blazing with defiance even in her weakened state.

I dropped to my knees in front of the Luna, clutching the hem of her dress as I begged desperately.

“Luna, please! My sister has always been loyal to you! She would never—”

My presence only seemed to fuel the Luna’s rage.

“Do you see this? Neither of you respect me!” she snarled, her voice dripping with contempt. She kicked me square in the chest, and I gasped for air, my vision blurring.

Just then, my mother entered the room. I turned to her, my eyes pleading for her to defend my sister.

But she didn’t even glance at us. Instead, she knelt before the Luna, her forehead pressed to the ground.

“They’re just Omegas, Luna. Do with them as you please. Your health is far more important than these worthless creatures.”

The Luna seemed to calm slightly at my mother’s words. With a dismissive wave, she ordered us to leave.

My mother bowed again before standing, reaching out to help me up. I jerked away, my chest tight with betrayal and anger.
