It's possible, technology nowadays was advanced enough to forge a photograph and I wouldn't put anything past Than. His tactics are cruel, he'll do anything to keep her alive. But something inside of me doesn't believe so, that somehow I know this is a real photograph.

anything about her but I'd say this was before her wolfsbane consumption. She's not the waif thin young woman laying on a hospital bed being kept alive by machines. She's vibrant, she's in her element. She's alive in more ways than one. She's the woman that Than fell in love with long before I entered the scene.
She's standing next to my second chance mate, having already secured the heart of my own mate.
They look happy...a ...and for a fleeting moment, very fleeting, I feel sorry for Than.
It passes quickly though, as anger starts to ignite within me. A spark that promises to burn savagely and without remorse.

I can feel the walls of this office closing in on me, my own top's collar starting to strangle me at my neck. My face is burning hot, burning with anger.

Anger and jealousy start to dance together like old friends as I stare at the way he is holding her, Hector has never held me in such a way. Nor has Than.
This can't be true.

1 very carefully place the photograph back down and replace it with the letter in my hands. It's definitely Than's handwriting, but this time his scribble is slightly unreadable in places. Almost as if his note was rushed.
"This is HIS truth. Come home to me."
My mind swirls with flashbacks of the first time I met Hector in the coffee shop. I thought fate was finally giving me a lucky break, giving me a new chance. But no. But no.
He has lied to me all this time. Making me a pack member, keeping me in the alpha house and not setting me up in my own home..... Always keeping me close by.
I feel like such an idiot, an overly trusting idiot...yet again.
For once I thought I was ahead of the game, that I was the one making the rules. I wasn't even in the same league as the 2 of them.
Just collateral damage.
The realisation hurts like a sharp knife being stabbed into my back, twisted and then plunged deeper. He's been playing me from the first day he laid eyes on me.
Using me.
My hand grips at my forehead as my mind continues to recall memories...he knew Than already.
He must have done if he knows her. Which means even at the banquet he was lying to me. Pretending he didn't know Than already.
My
mind flashes back to that night, a memory stirring. Than said something, he said she was awake.
I thought he was talking to me, telling me. But no, he was telling Hector.
I'm spiralling in their web of lies. I don't even know who to trust anymore. "The baby." My wolf's alarmed voice warns in my head. She was right, I thought I was safe here. I thought he didn't care that I was carrying his enemy's child... the heir to the Amber Desert pack. That I would be protected, have time to consider my future once the baby was born. The heir would be safe here, that he would maybe help me approach Than one day...support me in telling Than. Butir But no, he was planning on using my
y against Than
He's been keeping me only to betray me at the right moment. A moment that would bring the most personal reward to him.
I need to move, I've stayed too long. I've stupidly let my guard down. Never again, never again will I trust the mate bond that betrays me time and time again. It is imperative that I find Father. I know Father is in a
coastal area. I just need to find out which exact one.
I hear his footsteps entering the front door. His laughter ringing out in the hallway as he and his beta, enjoy a personal conversation with one another. Just a new Than and Zane, both ready to betray me when the time calls. 1 They both step over the threshold into the office. Their footsteps stopping when they notice my back facing them.
They try to engage with me, to make conversation. But all I can see is a live action version of the photograph play out. The picture ingrained into my memory now for a lifetime.
Did I wrong the moon goddess in a past life.
No one has ever looked at me the way Hector is looking at her. No one has ever held me close, as if letting me go could ever be an option. Like he couldn't breathe properly if I weren't in the same room as him.
Hector takes a step closer to me, his arm stretching out to wake me up from my self pity trance I am currently drowning in, my own wolf crying her own tears of never being good enough.
