Betrayed by the Alpha

KARA 

"Where is Alpha Kieran? I have something important to show him and it could only be tonight to make tonight worthy" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. My heart fluttered with excitement-tonight, I had great news to tell him. It was going to be the highlight of the ceremony.

Aria, my most trusted Beta, glanced up from the scroll she was holding. "He could be in his quarters getting ready, Luna, you two have to be ready before the time runs out, go check on him while I wait in the hall for you" she replied, her voice steady and reassuring, though I could see the faint glimmer of concern in her eyes.

I nodded, a smile tugging at the corners of my lips. It was supposed to be a night of celebration. A night when our pack would come together, marking the beginning of a new era under Alpha Kieran's leadership and my position as his Luna. But something in my gut twisted, an unease I couldn't shake off.

"Thank you, Aria, help me sort things out in the hall, I will be there soon, I just have to show Kieran some good news to make our day" I said quickly with a wide smile, then turned and made my way toward Kieran's quarters.

As I walked down the long, dimly lit hall, I felt the cool breeze of the evening air brushing against my skin, the silence enveloping me like a heavy blanket. I had to tell Kieran, I had to tell him that I was pregnant. It was the most precious news, and I couldn't wait to share it with him. But as I approached his door, I heard muffled sounds. At first, I thought it was just the wind, but then it became unmistakable-the unmistakable sound of... moaning, sounds of body tapping, and kisses, I could hear them very well.

At first I thought it was my imagination. Then I froze.

The air thickened around me, suffocating my thoughts. This couldn't be happening. Not tonight.

I stepped closer, my heart pounding in my chest, and peered through the small gap in the door. And what I saw made my blood run cold.

Alpha Kieran, my mate, the man I had loved and trusted with everything, was lying naked on the bed, tangled in the sheets with none other than Izzy-the woman he had always assured me was nothing to worry about.

Izzy... the one who had tried to come between us before the party, the one lady who said she would be in charge of the hall preparation, the lady who Kieran told me to hand over everything too because she was good at it.

I gasped, the papers in my hand slipping from my grip and falling to the ground with a soft thud. My knees buckled, but I steadied myself against the doorframe, refusing to let myself collapse.

"Alpha Kieran," I called out, my voice trembling, barely audible in the tense silence of the room.

Kieran didn't even flinch. He didn't look startled, didn't seem guilty. He didn't care that I had just caught him in the most intimate moment with the one person I had feared the most.

Izzy hissed, her eyes narrowing with contempt as she straightened up, her body still bare. "Your Luna knows no boundaries, doesn't she?" she sneered, pulling on her dress with a smirk, then walking past me without a second glance.
