She wasn't the kind of girl to doubt easily. She believed in love, loyalty, and the promises whispered during midnight cuddles. But tonight, that belief cracked like glass under pressure. Her boyfriend, Mason, had texted that he was going to be out late training with his pack. It was nothing unusual; he was a Beta, after all, and always busy. But something about tonight didn't feel right.
Her wolf stirred inside her, uneasy.
"Let's just check," she whispered to herself. Just once. Just to be sure.
Within fifteen minutes, she was outside Eric's apartment building, hiding her car a block away. Her heart pounded with each step, the sound of her heels muffled by the soft dirt. The closer she got, the heavier her chest felt.
She crept up the stairs, keeping her breathing low. Her wolf growled softly in her chest, warning her, bracing her. She reached the door. It was slightly ajar.
Aaliyah's heart stopped.
She didn't knock. She didn't call. She pushed the door open and stepped inside.
And there he was.
Eric.
With her best friend.
Naked. Tangled. Moaning.
The world around her fell silent. Her vision tunneled. She couldn't hear their gasps, their stuttering excuses. All she could hear was the sound of her own heart shattering into a thousand unforgiving pieces.
Aaliyah didn't scream. She didn't cry.
She turned around and walked out, her spine straight, her face cold.
Later that night, the tears came. Alone in her shower, she sobbed until the water ran cold. Her wolf howled in mourning. Not just for the betrayal but for the bond that had been broken.
She had given Eric everything. Her time, her love, her trust. And he destroyed it like it meant nothing.
Revenge wasn't her style.
But tonight changed her.
She couldn't let them walk away happy. Not after everything she sacrificed.
If Eric wanted to ruin her heart, she would burn his world.
And she knew exactly where to start.
His uncle.
The Alpha.
The most dangerous man in the city's werewolf world. Known for his ruthlessness in business and the bedroom. A cold, powerful figure no one dared cross.
He was everything Aaliyah was told to stay away from.
So of course, she was going straight to him.
She knew she could tempt him. She had beauty, brains, and now-motivation. If she played this right, she could make Eric regret ever touching her.
"Let's play a new game," she said into the mirror, eyes cold, lips curling into a smirk. "Let's see how he feels when the woman he cheated on becomes the Luna of his Alpha."
Her wolf purred with approval.
This was war she started pacing the room thinking of the next step, I must take revenge Eric must feel a test of his own medicine when I because the Alpha Luna.
And we become unseparated "smiling" the real game to make Eric jealous started now
