Unknown Betrayal Chapter 91: Side Benefits
(Xander POV)“A little to the right. A little more. And to the left. And to the right. Now, go a little faster! Keep going. Perfect! Just like that. Yes! Faster! YEEEEEEEEESSSS!!! Now flip me around! Yes! Do it again! And again! Oh, Xander. You are sooooo good at this!!!!”I smiled down at the petite blond in my arms, whose rich brown eyes were laser focused on me. We had only just met, but I loved the praise that she freely gave me; I loved the way that her body moved with mine; I loved the way that she guided how I touched her; and I loved the sound effects that she made when I did things that she liked.This was my second dance lesson in the past 48 hours, and given how much I liked about Candice, I was already ready to book my next several sessions with her.Yes, dance lessons. Piper had always loved to dance, but that was the one thing that I was not willing to do with her in the past. I was embarrassed by the fact that I was born with two left feet, so to speak.
Unknown Betrayal Chapter 92: Threats & Promises
(Xander POV)After last night’s dance lesson with Candice, I felt re-energized. I woke up early, showered, ate breakfast, and made my way to my father’s office.My plan was to get some work done, and then invite the pack’s interior decorator to come and help me brainstorm how we would re-design the office to fit my style. Even though I was not formally taking over for a few months, furnishings can take a while to come in once ordered, so I figured it was best to get a head start on things.Unfortunately, when I walked into the dark office and turned on the light, I found Leo Bloodstone sitting behind the desk waiting for me. His feet were propped up, and it looked like he had been waiting for a while.“Leo.”He said nothing, choosing to instead glare at me.“What do you want?” I asked in an annoyed voice.Again, he said nothing.Frustrated, I closed the door and walked behind the desk. I left some space between him and I, but not much.“Get out of my chair, A&&hole. If you are no

Unknown Betrayal PROLOGUE
(Piper POV)“Piper, you can talk to me,” Dr. Eggert said softly.I shook my head as I continued to stare out the window. “No.”“Anything that you say in this room is confidential,” she reminded me.“Even from Alpha and the werewolf council?”“Even from them. They have taken blood oaths to ensure it, and I have taken a blood oath in return.”“Just for me?”“No, we have a blanket oath that applies to everyone. Therapy would not work without confidentiality.”I turned and looked at the middle-aged woman sitting in the chair across from mine. She seemed sincere, and she seemed nice enough, but I was on the fence about whether I could trust her. Or anyone.“Why am I here, Dr. Eggert?” I asked.“You attacked a gamma wolf, Piper. Completely unprovoked. You are lucky that he was not badly hurt, and you are even luckier that Luna Lily intervened and the werewolf council decided to take pity on you. Your punishment could have been far worse.”I scoffed. “Pity? Is that what they call i
Unknown Betrayal Chapter 1: The Wedding
(Approximately Four Years Ago)(Piper POV)I am currently waiting in a dressing room on the fourth floor of the packhouse, studying my reflection in the full-length mirror. My hair and makeup have been done expertly, and my white wedding dress hugs my curves in all the right places. Despite my insecurities, even I have to admit that I look beautiful.My fingers begin to trace the silver and diamond locket on my neck. I find myself desperately wishing that my mother was here with me.Through the open window, I can hear various voices from the wedding guests who are gathering in the courtyard below. I can also hear soft violin music playing, and I can smell the vibrant rose and lily arrangements that have been placed everywhere. And I can feel just a hint of the bright morning sun on my back.Unable to resist the temptation, I walk over to the window and peer outside. Like a magnet, my eyes land on Leo Bloodstone, who is greeting guests. He is tall, super muscular, with dark hair
Unknown Betrayal Chapter 2: The Escape
(Xander POV) My heart was pounding. We were doing this. We were really doing this. The alpha in me was excited, but the man in me was worried. I have never defied my father like this before, and Leo Bloodstone was not someone that I normally wanted to piss off. However, in this case, the risk was worth it. Piper was worth it. I just prayed that my plan worked. Piper quickly changed into leggings and a hoodie while I sprayed myself with a de-scenting spray. We then grabbed our backpacks —which I also brought with me— and left the room. After saying a quick prayer to the Moon Goddess and making sure that the coast was clear, Piper and I made our way downstairs. We “hid” Piper’s wedding dress behind a bush near the side exit, and I threw her high heels as far as I could into the field. Our goal was to make it look like Piper fled across the meadow towards human territory. That would be the fastest, most logical exit route. Once Piper’s dress was fake-hidden, it was Piper
Unknown Betrayal Chapter 3: The Search
(Leo Bloodstone POV)My bride has been missing for over five hours. And it has been exactly 4 hours, 15 minutes since anyone bothered to inform me.I do not know what I am angrier about: that this stupid pack allowed her to escape; that they wasted 45 minutes making excuses for her delay coming down for the wedding that we could have used looking for her; or that their trackers are so incompetent that they spent the first half of their search following the fake trail Piper left with her “hidden” wedding dress and heels. The Blue Ridge trackers would probably still be following that trail had my men not pointed out their stupidity. Thankfully, my men are well trained. They immediately noticed that Piper's scent did not carry through the meadow, meaning that although her shoes may have been there, Piper herself never walked through.At this point, my wolf is ready to murder everyone in sight. It is a small miracle that I have been able to prevent him from doing so. As it is, both
Unknown Betrayal Chapter 4: Her Guilt
(Almost Two Years Later) (Piper POV) It was currently nine-thirty at night. I was alone in my room in the basement, and after working all day, I felt completely exhausted. Nevertheless, I had something important that I had to do before I went to bed. I placed a single candle into a chocolate chip cookie that I had stolen from the packhouse kitchen. I lit the candle and began softly singing, hoping to avoid anyone hearing me. “Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Daddy. Happy birthday to you.” Smiling sadly, I blew out the candle and made a wish. It was not just any wish… it was my only wish. The same wish that I made every single time I celebrated the birthday of someone that I left behind: that the Moon Goddess would continue to look after everyone that I cared about at Blue Ridge, and that she would allow me to see them again soon. So far, my wish had yet to come true, but I continued to hold out hope. I had to. Hope —however waning— was
