My Alpha Cheated With All My Friends Novel

Chapter 29

" Darius Stormraven , now that Evelyn Darkmoor is out of the picture , it's time to officially bring Liora Ashbourne into the Pack , his father , Regis Stormrider , the former Alpha , stated bluntly .

" She was worthless anyway . Keeping her around would have only brought misfortune " his mother , Isolde Winterbane , the former Luna , added without an ounce of regret .

Regis Stormrider gave a firm nod . " Find a time to finalize the bond with Selina Raventhorn .

The Darius Stormraven Pack hasn't had a grand mating ceremony like this in years . Once it's done , I'll have the servants clear out Evelyn Darkmoor's old room-

Selina Raventhorn can take it instead ."

Darius Stormraven stood frozen , staring at the satisfied expressions on his parents ' faces . For the first time , an unbearable sickness churned in his stomach .

" What do you mean , ' finalize the bond " ? " His voice was sharp as a blade .

" Didn't Selina Raventhorn already take a mate in another Pack ? "

Isolde Winterbane let out a light chuckle , shaking her head . " Oh , Darius Stormraven . If we hadn't told you that , would you have ever accepted it ? "

She sighed , as if he was the one being unreasonable . " Selina Raventhorn did it for the Pack . She sacrificed her own reputation just so Liora Ashbourne could remain with us . But you " her gaze hardened- " you kept holding onto Evelyn Darkmoor , so we had no choice .

Chapter 29

" Now that the cripple is gone , everything has fallen into place . Liora Ashbourne no longer has to pretend . You and Selina Raventhorn can finally be the family you were always meant to be . She only left because she had to - we never blamed her . "

A wave of nausea rolled through Darius Stormraven . His parents ' smug expressions made his skin crawl .

His mind reeled back to all the times he had asked Selina Raventhorn about her so - called mate .

She always dodged the question , never sharing how they met , never offering details about their life together .

And now , it all made sense . There was no mate . No Pack . No story . No proof .

It had all been a fabrication , and he had

fallen for it .

In his desperation to bring Liora Ashbourne into his life , he had sacrificed the one

woman who was truly meant to stand by his side .

Evelyn Darkmoor had no family here . No Pack to return to .

The only reason she stayed in Tianora was because of him . And he had discarded her .

He had sworn to be her strength . To never betray her . And yet , that's exactly what he had done . A crushing weight of guilt and regret coiled in his chest like a blade pressing deeper with every breath .

Darius Stormraven's voice turned cold , unwavering . " Evelyn Darkmoor is my mate . Whether she's alive or dead , she is the only one I will ever claim .

I don't care if Selina

Raventhorn is single , taken , or whatever she pretends to be - she is nothing to me ."

His jaw clenched . " That night with her three years ago was a mistake . If I had known Liora Ashbourne would come of it , I never would have let it happen ."

He fixed his parents with a hard stare . " This ceremony was your doing . You can deal with the fallout yourselves . As for me , I'm going to find Evelyn Darkmoor - even if it kills me .

"

Without another word , he turned on his heel and strode toward the exit .

Before he could leave , Selina Raventhorn came rushing up , panic flooding her features as she cradled Liora Ashbourne in her arms .

" Darius Stormraven ! Liora Ashbourne broke a cup and cut her arm - she's bleeding ! " Her

voice wavered . " Please , take her to the Pack Healer ! "

Blood trickled down Liora Ashbourne's small arm , staining the fabric of her sleeve . Darius Stormraven's phone buzzed . His Beta .

He didn't even break stride .

As he passed Selina Raventhorn , he left her with a single , detached command . " Find a healer . From now on , she stays with my parents ."

Then he stepped outside and picked up the call .

" Did you find Evelyn Darkmoor ? " His voice was tight , urgent .

His Beta hesitated before answering . " Alpha ... I've searched everywhere . The only trace I found was that Luna Evelyn Darkmoor

checked into a hotel two nights before she vanished .

Her flight records are the last

official record of her movements . You might want to reach out to the search teams ... It's

been some time now . If- "

Darius Stormraven ended the call before his Beta could finish .

He refused to accept it .
