CHAPTER 1 Betrayal
“Yes! That’s the one! That’s exactly what I want!” A*n exclaimed almost giddy with excitement as she reached forward and ran her hand over the beautiful material.
The white fabric seemed to shimmer in the light and the effect was almost spellbinding.
“Fantastic, would you like to try it on now? It’s a match for your measurements, but it may need a little alteration…” the sales assistant began before A*n interrupted her excitedly.
“No, it’s fine. I’ll take it home and have the seamstress take a look if there are any alterations needed. She’s coming tonight to make some alterations on some evening wear that I bought for the honeymoon, so it won’t be an issue.” A*n grinned.
With a nod of her head, the assistant packaged everything up and handed her the dress to take home.
She couldn’t wait to get home and try it on.
A*n admired herself happily in the full-length mirror as the seamstress said her goodbyes and left the room with an armful of gowns.
She smiled wistfully as she smoothed her hands along the flowing material of her wedding dress.
This was the last night that she would be A*n Veritas, daughter of the Alpha King. Tomorrow she would be A*n Lunaris, wife and mate of Brad Lunaris, the future Alpha King.

When it revealed her sister lying underneath A*n’s husband-to-be, her hands flew to her mouth to stifle the gasp of horror as her heart shattered instantly.
As Brad roared his release inside her sister, Ada turned her head towards the door with a smirk. An icy chill descended over A*n as if a bucket of ice water had been thrown over her and she stood and stared, her eyes wide and mouth slightly open in disbelief.
Ada lifted her hand and waved in Ada’s direction with a smug smile plastered on her face as Brad collapsed on top of her, kissing her neck tenderly.
A*n wanted to scream, to rage, and to s*b but she remained silent as she pulled the door closed and balled her fists up angrily at her side.
She stared blankly ahead as she made her way down the stairs and out into the night.
A*n had walked along in a daze for quite a while, her mind reeling with the scene that she had stumbled upon.
They were supposed to be fated mates…what had happened? It was so rare to find the other person made exactly for you that when it happened, the relationships were almost infallible. It was very rare for either partner to seek others out for fulfillment because their wolves simply wouldn’t allow it.
A*n’s wolf Maeve had remained silent throughout all of this, but A*n could feel the fury coursing through her.
Maeve had never been one for talking too much. When A*n attempted to talk to her she would mostly remain silent. She communicated her feelings on subjects clearly enough at the time and words were rarely necessary for Maeve’s opinion.
The numbness that had led A*n into the city had begun to fade and the pain that coursed through her heart was excruciating.
