Chapter 3 When Hana came to clean the room , I immediately noticed how her entire being radiated contentment . Her movements were light , almost buoyant , and the smile on her face bordered on smugness . Good morning , maam , she greeted me cheerfully , her voice carrying an infuriating sense of ease . I forced myself to endure the overwhelming scent of Ethan clinging to her a mix of his musk and her lilac and lily perfume . It churned my stomach , but I managed to nod and return her smile , as though nothing were amiss . The moment I turned and shut the door behind her , the composure I had carefully maintained began to crack . My heart sank , plunging into a seemingly bottomless abyss . My mate , my destined partner given by the Moon Goddess , was cheating on me with our housemaid . Not only had he betrayed me , but this had been going on for at least a year . And I had been blind to it all until now . After my appointment at the hospital , I couldnt bring myself to return home . Instead , I drove to our Packs administrative office Ethans workplace . Maam , are you here to see Mr. Ethan ? The Pack Beta greeted me respectfully as he passed . He offered a polite salute before continuing , Mr. Ethan is at a neighboring Pack today for a meeting . Do you need me to deliver a message ? I smiled graciously , hiding the storm brewing within . No , thank you . Im just here to pick up some papers for him . Of course , I already knew Ethan wasnt in the office . That was precisely why I had come to ensure his absence as I carried out my plan . Once inside his office , I retrieved an unassuming crystal ball from the corner shelf . It was an item I had accidentally left there the previous week , a whimsical decoration Ethan had insisted on keeping . This reminds me of you , hed said at the time , his smile disarmingly affectionate . Abandoned by My Mate . Desired by His Alpha Brother 1.39 % What Ethan didit know was that this crystal ball wasnt just a decoration . It was a wedding gin Tom a witch friend , imbued with the power to record images of reality . At the time , I had laughed ( ht of ever needing it . Now , it felt like the only truth I could cling to 1 brushed my fingers across the smooth surface of the crystal ball , activating its hidden power . Slowly , hazy images began to take shape , replaying fragments of the past . The first recording was from an ordinary morning . Ethan was seated at his desk when someone pushed through the door unannounced . It was Beta Chris , an old friend from Ethans Alpha training days at the Lycan Academy . Chris teased , his tone dripping with sarcasm . Ive sent Hana her monthly allowance . Got it , Ethan replied without looking up . What about the results of her maternity test ? Chriss demeanor shifted slightly . Everythings fine . He hesitated before adding , By the way . about that moonstone bracelet Hana wanted … Ethans voice turned cold , commanding . Tell her she can take anything else , but not Mias . Give her the sapphire necklace we bought at the auction and an extra hundred thousand dollars as compensation . And remind her .. f shes going to be a maid , she needs to play the part . No more mistakes in front of Mia . Chris sighed , exasperation lacing his words . Seriously , dude ? Who keeps their mistress as a maid in the same house as their wife ? Ethan was silent for a moment before answering softly , Mias sick . She needs someone to take care of her . And Hana ? Chris pressed . Ethans tone softened further . Shes doing well. Im glad shes here . Chriss voice grew sharp . Youd better be careful . If Mia finds out , youre done for . Ethan let out a low chuckle , his casual smile unmistakable even in the hazy recording . Dont worry . Shell never know . Sitting in my car , I replayed Ethans words in my mind , each one cutting me deeper than the last . * Shell never know . The betrayal wasnt just his . Everyone knew .. Chris , Hana , perhaps even others in the Pack . They had all played their roles in this cruel charade , their lies weaving a tapestry of deception around me . I stared at the crystal ball as if willing it to lie , but the images didnt falter . Then came the words that shattered me completely . How did Hana get pregnant ? Ethans voice was quiet but firm . Pregnant . My mind reeled . Ethan couldnt father children naturally .. his condition made that impossible . We had tried IVF three times , each attempt ending in heartbreak . So how ? How had she atten re Before leaving Ethans office , I placed a small blue crystal brooch on his desk . It was a recent purchase from the same witch friend who had gifted me the crystal ball . The brooch was enchanted to record every sound and image around it a discreet and powerful tool . When Ethan found it , I had no doubt hed think nothing of it . Honey , Id tell him later , I bought you this brooch . It suits you perfectly . Promise me youll wear it , okay ?
