The Alpha's Betrayed MateOne

Gracie's POV

The snow was falling heavily as the car rolled to a stop in front of the Redmoon Pack's gates. Th weree years had passed, but the memory of that day still haunted me—the day my own family decided I belonged in a women’s prison.

I stood motionless at the pack house entrance, my fingers curling into fists as icy flakes melted against my skin. The car that had brought me here rumbled away, leaving me stranded in a place that no longer felt like home.

“Mom! It’s not me! I love Lily! I would never abduct or kill her!” I had pleaded, my voice raw with desperation. I had looked into my mother’s eyes, begging her to believe me.

But she didn’t.

Even my father had struck me, his fury mirroring the council’s verdict. Only Anastasia had believed me. And Marcus—at least at some point. He had promised to do everything in his power to get me out.

“You are not my daughter anymore for killing Lily! Take her! She deserves to rot in prison and die!” My mother’s voice had cut through me like a blade.

She should have known me better than anyone. So why did she believe them?
