Chapter 1 BETRAYAL

VIXEN POV

The feeling of emptiness.

The unfillable void of disappointment.

The sadness of knowing the life you thought you knew is a sham.

Nothing makes sense

I am a shell of what I once was.

I stand here dumbfounded before my husband of 10 years Darrick, and his supposed new wife Sapphire, who happens to be my best friend.

Darrick is the alpha prince of our pack, the Maxim pack, my mate and the father of my three children.

We have been through all sorts of huddles this past years, only for him to stab me in the back.

This scene is unbarely agonizing, he used to be the only one who truly valued and respected me, despite knowing about my hybrid nature .

He made me feel loved despise my deformity, I have hairy ears, chubby body and can't shift due to my vampire heritage.

Darrick is a shell of what he once was.

His face holds no expression as he shamelessly plants soft kisses on to her cheeks.

" Meet my new wife" What a joke, he must be pranking me.

For christ sake, I abandoned my family, I build my world around him, and for what?.

" Very funny" I laugh confused "Please be serious babe"

" Vixen, I am not joking. Sapphire is my new wife, infact my only wife" He informs with a serious demeanor.

His face speaks voices, he's not kidding. The realization of this puts an ultimate end to my laughter.

" What are you talking about?. I am your wife" I remind, nonplussed

" No, we were never married, not in the eyes of the law atleast. Sapphire here is the only woman I ever loved. She's beautiful, sexy. She's attractive unlike you" He says nonchalantly as he pulls her closer, planting a passionate kiss on her lips, like I wasn't here.

It's disgusting.

" What is the meaning of this?. Are you high on cheap drugs?. How can you stand in front of me and kiss my best friend" I ask with tears running down my cheek.

My chest still hurts.

How could Sapphire do this to me.

She has been my best friend for years even though she's the daughter of a Beta, while I'm only an omega, a wolfless hybrid one for that matter.

" Oh please Vixen, we were never friends. I only befriended you to get closer to my man, and now that I gotten him. I don't need to pretend anymore...." She says with a smirk.

Anger builds up in me and next thing I do is land a horrifying slap on her face, but turns out that was a big mistake because Darrick gives me one of his own.

" Don't ever raise your flirty hands on her again, pig" He insults, while consoling his lover with a hug.

His slap hurt, but there is something that hurts more, the feeling of betrayal that tears through my heart.

Darrick has always been quick to anger and sometimes that anger leads to him hitting me, but never before has he hit me in public like this, he must truly care for her.

" You slapped me?" I doubt rubbing my cheek in tears " What has she done to you for you to treat me like this?, for you to fall out of love with me like this?"

" Nothing Vixen, he never loved you to begin with. So don't flatter yourself" Mom walks out as she casually spits out those veil words "This has been long over due for 10 years"

Not that this comes as a surprise. Mom has always hated me, and that hate has only amplified with time.

" That's not true. I wouldn't listen to a word that comes out of that lieing tongue of yours" I yell at her, before grabbing hold of my husband's hands "Babe it's me Vixen, your love, your wife, your mate. I abandoned my family for you. We have a kid together and two on their way. You promised you would never leave me" I remind in tears looking straight into his eyes.

" Cut out the crocodile tears Vixen, it's not working on me. I never loved you Vixen. I only thought marrying you would help me with my political career thinking that your family, and the moon goddess will help me, but unfortunately I was wrong, your family didn't help me out with anything. I have waited year after year hoping they would forgive and accept you but I was wrong. Turns out no one wants a fat, useless liability like you" He says nonchalantly, and without a second thought I slap him across the face "The truth hurts, doesn't it?" He questions with a smirk as he helds on to his bruise cheek but I am too hurt to speak "I want you and that thing you call my child out of this house immediately"

" Where do you want us to go to?. We have no where to go to" I explain in a panic, still crying

" I don't care. I am sick of seeing your fat, ugly face, and those hideous ears of yours" He says nonchalantly

" Don't worry son I already packed her stuff" Mom (Lucinda) says as Suzanne, the maid walks downstairs with my suitcase in one hand, and my daughter in the other.

A sick smile, and a look of fulfillness plays on mom's lips.

Mom grabs hold of Claire, my 5 year old daughter and throws her at me.

" Mom, what's wrong?. Why are you crying? and why did nanny pull me forcefully down stairs?" She ask in tears as she hugs me

" Don't cry baby. Mama is fine, ok" I say in an effort to console her

" Listen Darrick. I don't know what I did wrong, but it wasn't my intention. I forgive you. You can still take Sapphire as your wife but please don't kick me and your child out" I beseech him on my knees.

" You forgive me?" He asks with a laugh "I should be the one forgiving you cheating slut. I know you have been sleeping around" He yells as he kicks me on the face.

" I have never cheated on you, and you know that Darrick. You took my virginity remember" I say before he cuts in

" Enough of that nonsense" He says nonchalantly before calling out a guard, who comes running in seconds later " I want you to throw these two out of this premises immediately" He orders and in under seconds I and my daughter are thrown out.

I knock, and knock, shouting at the top of my lungs, but they don't answer.

It is a cold blistering night, characterized by harsh winds and dark skies.

I fear there will be rainfall anytime now.

" Mom, I am cold" Claire says shivering in her boots from the cold.

" Sorry sweetheart" I say as I take a sweater out and putting it on her " Here you go baby"

" Mom, why is pa kicking us out?. Is it because he doesn't love us anymore?" She ask with teary eyes.

" No baby pa is just confused that's all. You know what let's pay your grandparents a little visit" I inform with a smile in a bit to lighten up the mood.

" Grandparents?" She ask confused, Lucinda has been the only grandparent she ever knew.

" Yes, come with mum" I say grabbing her hand.

We match forward hopeful, determined to reach our goal, even though I don't have any money on me and our house is a long way, I don't relent.

I take each step with optimism, as I carry Claire on my chest and my suitcase in the other hand.

By the time we arrive at my parent's mansion it's already 11pm, and my tommy hurts horrible.

I gently place my sleep daughter on a cloth before knocking at the gate, and a gaurd walks out.

He then heads back after hearing my request to inform my parents of my arrival.

Few minutes later they both walk out with annoyedfrowns.

" What are you doing here Vixen?" Pa ask angrily in a yell.

His voice is full of hate and animosity, that it makes my legs shiver.

" Pa, mom. Please I need you forgiveness, and help. I don't have anywhere else to go. Darrick kicked me out" I cry on my knees, careful not to wake my sleeping daughter.

" And how does that concern us?. You ceased to be member of this family the day you choose that man over us" Pa informs in the same tone.

" Pa I know I wronged you, but please forgive me for the sake of your grandchildren" I beseech them

" Leave this premises right now, or I am going to shoot you" Pa says before heading in.

" Mom please beg Pa for me. I have no where else to go" I beseech her still on my knees

" You brought this on your Vixen. Now face the consequences" She says nonchalantly, as she turns her back on me.

That is when I spot pa from a distance carrying his rifle.

I immediately grab hold of my daughter and take to my heels.

After running for a save distance, It starts raining and we are forced to seek refuse on the balcony of a store.

I am cold, my stomach hurts and I feel dizzy, but I am unable to rest because my daughter is burning up.

I try to lower her body temperature, by soaking one of a cloth in water and wiping her.

I continue doing this until I drift off to slumber.

Come morning, I wake to see her condition has taken a turn for the worst.

Her skin burns.

It's simily white as though, she is suffering from blood shortages.

It's so bad that she can't mutter out a single word.

In a panic, I hurry off to a nearby hospital.

A doctor attends to her for a while and walks out to meet me.

" Doc, what's wrong with my daughter?. Is she gonna be alright?" I ask concerned

" She has anaemia but she would be fine. You just have to deposit the sum of $400 dollar" He says nonchalantly

" Ok, I will go get the money but please treat my baby" I beseech him in tears.

The truth is I have no idea where I can get that amount.

" I am sorry ma'am. This is not a charity organization. No money, no treatment. Excuse me" He informs trying to walk out but I block his path.

" I am your luna, I command you treat her" I order in a bit to force his hand

" I don't take others from hybrid omegas. It's either you get the money or nothing" He informs frigid.

Too Late: The Spare Daughter Escapes Him

SHANA GRAY
4.3

I died on a Tuesday. It wasn't a quick death. It was slow, cold, and meticulously planned by the man who called himself my father. I was twenty years old. He needed my kidney to save my sister. The spare part for the golden child. I remember the blinding lights of the operating theater, the sterile smell of betrayal, and the phantom pain of a surgeon's scalpel carving into my flesh while my screams echoed unheard. I remember looking through the observation glass and seeing him-my father, Giovanni Vitiello, the Don of the Chicago Outfit-watching me die with the same detached expression he used when signing a death warrant. He chose her. He always chose her. And then, I woke up. Not in heaven. Not in hell. But in my own bed, a year before my scheduled execution. My body was whole, unscarred. The timeline had reset, a glitch in the cruel matrix of my existence, giving me a second chance I never asked for. This time, when my father handed me a one-way ticket to London-an exile disguised as a severance package-I didn't cry. I didn't beg. My heart, once a bleeding wound, was now a block of ice. He didn't know he was talking to a ghost. He didn't know I had already lived through his ultimate betrayal. He also didn't know that six months ago, during the city's brutal territory wars, I was the one who saved his most valuable asset. In a secret safe house, I stitched up the wounds of a blinded soldier, a man whose life hung by a thread. He never saw my face. He only knew my voice, the scent of vanilla, and the steady touch of my hands. He called me Sette. Seven. For the seven stitches I put in his shoulder. That man was Dante Moretti. The Ruthless Capo. The man my sister, Isabella, is now set to marry. She stole my story. She claimed my actions, my voice, my scent. And Dante, the man who could spot a lie from a mile away, believed the beautiful deception because he wanted it to be true. He wanted the golden girl to be his savior, not the invisible sister who was only ever good for her spare parts. So I took the ticket. In my past life, I fought them, and they silenced me on an operating table. This time, I will let them have their perfect, gilded lie. I will go to London. I will disappear. I will let Seraphina Vitiello die on that plane. But I will not be a victim. This time, I will not be the lamb led to slaughter. This time, from the shadows of my exile, I will be the one holding the match. And I will wait, with the patience of the dead, to watch their entire world burn. Because a ghost has nothing to lose, and a queen of ashes has an empire to gain.

I was four months pregnant, weighing over two hundred pounds, and my heart was failing from experimental treatments forced on me as a child. My doctor looked at me with clinical detachment and told me I was in a death sentence: if I kept the baby, I would die, and if I tried to remove it, I would die. Desperate for a lifeline, I called my father, Francis Acosta, to tell him I was sick and pregnant. I expected a father's love, but all I got was a cold, sharp blade of a voice. "Then do it quietly," he said. "Don't embarrass Candi. Her debutante ball is coming up." He didn't just reject me; he erased me. My trust fund was frozen, and I was told I was no longer an Acosta. My fiancé, Auston, had already discarded me, calling me a "bloated whale" while he looked for a thinner, wealthier replacement. I left New York on a Greyhound bus, weeping into a bag of chips, a broken woman the world considered a mistake. I couldn't understand how my own father could tell me to die "quietly" just to save face for a party. I didn't know why I had been a lab rat for my family’s pharmaceutical ambitions, or how they could sleep at night while I was left to rot in the gray drizzle of the city. Five years later, the doors of JFK International Airport slid open. I stepped onto the marble floor in red-soled stilettos, my body lean, lethal, and carved from years of blood and sweat. I wasn't the "whale" anymore; I was a ghost coming back to haunt them. With my daughter by my side and a medical reputation that terrified the global elite, I was ready to dismantle the Acosta empire piece by piece. "Tell Francis to wash his neck," I whispered to the skyline. "I'm home."
