Moon shadow castle
Luna Hazel could be seen crying while she run to her room She just found out her sister is pregnant and not just for anyone but her husband,her mate
“I won’t take this” Hazel cried loudly “What do you think you can do” She remembered Ethan’s voice As Hazel's bare feet pounded against the cold marble floors, her world seemed to crumble around her.
The shattered pieces of her heart clattering in her chest like a storm. How could she go on, knowing that her own sister had betrayed her so completely, seduced her mate, conceived a child with him?
The thought alone was enough to make her collapse to her knees, shaking with sobs and fury. In the stillness of her room, she heard Ethan’s voice echo in her mind. What could she do, indeed? She rose to her feet, her face streaked with tears.
“Luna” Her personal maid,lia called from the door
“Please leave lia,I don’t need you at the moment” Hazel shouted
“I can’t leave you all alone,and also the Alpha called for a meeting..he said you must be there” Lia said
“I don’t care..just leave” Hazel said Lia's gentle voice disappeared behind the closing of the chamber door, leaving Hazel alone with the suffocating silence.
But the silence only served to amplify the thoughts that screamed in her head. Ethan's betrayal. Adella's smug smile.
The whispers of the pack members, their pitying eyes following her everywhere. The injustice of it all.
She knows the reasons for the urgent meeting is because of Layla Maybe he’s going to announced to the whole pack Hazel’s mind swirled with possibilities, each one more gut-wrenching than the last. Layla, her own sister, basking in the light of attention, her belly swollen with the child of Hazel’s mate.
The thought made her blood boil. She could see it now, the glint of pride in Ethan’s eyes, the accolades from the pack, the whispers behind her back. No. She wouldn’t stand for it.
The door opened and Layla entered,she walked to hazel and smirked
“I’ve always wanted you to know about me dating your husband and I think it’s good as you found out your self” Layla smiled
“What have I ever done to you..tell me why..why did you have to do this to me” Hazel muttered slowly Layla’s voice was cold, like ice shards piercing Hazel’s heart.
“What have you ever done to me? You have everything!” she hissed, her eyes afire.
“You have the throne, the title, the adoration of the pack. But what do I have? Nothing. I’ve been in the shadows for so long. Well, not anymore.” Hazel recoiled, a mixture of shock and betrayal twisting her face.
“You don’t deserve this!” she screamed, her voice raw and pained.
“You think I don’t..common dear sister,I do..and guess what” Layla said
“I have your husband wrapped on my fingers” Layla smiled
“I will never forgive you for this..I will never” Hazel cried Layla’s smile morphed into a cruel sneer, twisting the corners of her mouth.
“Oh, you will forgive me,” she cooed, her voice dripping with venom.
“Once the Alpha announces our pregnancy, you’ll have no choice but to accept it. After all, who will the pack choose? The fertile, loving mate…or the barren, betrayed Luna?” Hazel’s heart seemed to stop, the room spinning around her.
“Barren?” she whispered, her voice cracking with disbelief. Layla laughed, her voice harsh and mocking.
