Alpha Victoria

Betrayal

Alexander's P.O.V.

Two days had passed since the W.A.L.C. annual meet and my encounter with my mate. Restlessness consumed me as thoughts of her filled my mind—the confidence in her eyes, her charm, her innocence. But alongside these thoughts simmered a deeper anger towards the Red Moon Pack. Dustin Black, their Alpha, had sent me back to my pack, a move driven by selfishness that left me vulnerable to abuse at the hands of those much older than me.

My blood boiled at the memory of my suffering. My inner beast, the one that had kept me alive through countless hardships, now whispered dark promises of retribution. I could manipulate her, hurt her, dismantle her pack—everything I had lost, I could take back. Revenge burned in my veins, a bitter elixir I'd grown accustomed to.

"I can't be with someone who could have saved me," I muttered to myself, my voice laced with a bitter resolve. My wolf howled in protest, but I silenced him. Emotions were a luxury I couldn't afford in my pursuit of vengeance.

Victoria, mio amore, here I come.

Victoria's P.O.V.

Never had I felt such nervous excitement, a whirlwind of emotions blowing through me like a storm. I found myself blowing kisses to no one, reading fairy tales for the sheer joy of it—a concoction of joy and apprehension that only a mate could stir.

As I sat at Olivia's place, my phone buzzed, breaking through my reverie. It was a message from Alexander, arranging to pick me up the next day to move to his pack. Liv and I shared every detail, from squeals of excitement to the inevitable dirty jokes that followed.

I couldn't help but smile as I read his text, imagining the possibilities ahead. Despite my eagerness, I knew I had to discuss something important with him—my duties as Alpha of my old pack. I trusted Alexander to understand and support my decision to continue leading from afar.

The next day arrived too quickly. In the presence of my father, Aaron, Liv, and the entire pack, I felt a deep pang of regret at leaving them behind. But change beckoned, a new beginning awaited.

Alexander arrived, leaning against his car with a smile that softened my anxieties. I hugged my friends and family tightly, emotions running high as I prepared to leave my old life behind.

As we drove, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of shame at dozing off during our journey. When I awoke, Alexander was leaning over me with a playful smirk, reminding me to buckle up as we arrived at his pack's magnificent estate.

Before entering the pack house, there were subtle moments when Alexander's demeanor seemed different than what I had imagined. His smiles were guarded, his responses curt. It sent a small ripple of unease through me, but I brushed it aside, attributing it to nerves and the weight of our impending change.

The Moon Howlers' Pack sprawled before us, a blend of elegance and strength. As we greeted his pack members, I felt a sense of belonging despite the unfamiliarity. The head Omega welcomed me warmly, her presence reassuring amidst the newness.

Alexander led me to what he called "our room," a term that carried both intimacy and uncertainty. Inside, my nervous laughter echoed softly, trying to break the tension that had settled between us. Innocent questions about his pack and his leadership were met with his silence or deflections, building an atmosphere thick with unspoken tension.

"You're here because I allow it," he finally declared, his words cutting through the air with a chilling finality. The realization hit me like a blow to the chest—a stark reminder of the power dynamics at play and the fragility of my position in his world.

I squared my shoulders, trying to maintain my composure in the face of his unexpected hostility. This wasn't the mate I had imagined, and the disappointment was bitter. But deep down, a flicker of defiance burned—a determination to prove my worth, both as a Luna and as a woman.

His threat hung heavy in the air, casting a shadow over what should have been a moment of joy and new beginnings. As I retreated to another room, I vowed silently to tread carefully in this new world, where trust seemed as elusive as the moonlight itself.
