As soon as I opened the door, a scene unfolded that I wished I could have missed. My voice trembling, I managed to ask, "What's happening here?" But the burning tears in my eyes only made it harder to see.
Selene stepped away from him, naked, and my heart shattered as Conrad's expression remained unapologetic despite the evidence before me. I stammered, "You...you said I was your mate, that you loved me..."
He met my gaze with a raised brow, his lips curling into a smirk as he touched Selene's skin. "I lied," he admitted coldly, making me feel like a discarded toy. "I betrayed you for her."
Tears streaming down my cheeks, I couldn't comprehend, "I risked everything for you, even my coven's trust...and you chose her over me?"
Selene leaned into him, and I watched helplessly as she kissed his neck. Conrad called out, "Cordelia, close the door when you go." His voice, weary from the revelation, shattered whatever hope I had left.
In a world where magic was禁忌, Cordelia sought her ancestors' blessing through a perilous ritual. Abandoned by her own kind and forced into servitude, she was saved by the Alpha Prince, Conrad, at the cost of her freedom. Now, trapped in a bond of deceit, Cordelia must fight to survive, knowing she has been betrayed on both sides.
