The Rise Of The Betrayed Luna (Amorah and Holmes) novel Chapter 132

Chapter 132

Amorah POV

I kept staring at Holmes‘ approval signature long after the intelligence wolf quietly left the office. My chest hurt differently now that I understood the full truth.

Holmes did not simply betray me emotionally. He destroyed my life deliberately,

Every painful memory from my exile suddenly looked different inside my head. The loneliness, humiliation, and abandonment had never been unfortunate consequences of his ambition.

They were part of the plan.

I sat silently in Conrad’s office while rage settled coldly beneath my skin. For years, I mourned a relationship that never truly existed the way I believed it did.

Holmes chose power over me long before Bethany entered the picture publicly. He only pretended otherwise while I remained useful to him.

The realization should have broken me emotionally. Instead, it freed me.

Conrad found me there almost an hour later. His expression darkened immediately after seeing the files spread across the desk.

“You’ve been sitting here alone too long.”

“I needed to think.”

He walked closer slowly before stopping beside my chair. “And

I finally looked up at him properly.

“I don’t hate myself anymore for loving him.”

Something softer entered Conrad’s expression instantly.

“I kept wondering what was wrong with me,” I admitted quietly. “Why I wasn’t enough for him.”

Conrad crouched beside me immediately after that.

“There was never anything wrong with you.”

My throat tightened painfully.

“He approved my exile himself,” I whispered. “He watched them destroy my life and signed the papers anyway.”

Conrad’s jaw flexed sharply.

“He doesn’t deserve another second of power over you emotionally.”

I nodded slowly because for the first time, I fully agreed.

The next morning, Conrad helped me prepare for a large public assembly held before the final succession hearing. Several territories planned to attend after the exile revelations spread across Alpha channels overnight.

stood silently in front of the mirror while adjusting the dark dress stretched carefully around my growing stomach. My hands trembled slightly despite how calm I felt internally.

Conrad stepped behind me quietly before brushing my hair gently over one shoulder.

“You’re nervous.”

“I’m angry.”

“That too.”

I exhaled slowly.

“Everyone is waiting to see whether Holmes breaks me publicly again,” Fadmitted. “Part of me still remembers being that woman.”

Conrad’s eyes met mine through the mirror immediately.

“You already survived him long ago.”

Emotion tightened hard inside my chest again.

Conrad kissed me softly after that, one hand resting against my stomach while the other held my waist carefully. The quiet intimacy steadied me more effectively than reassurance ever could.

“I love you,” I whispered before I could stop myself.

Conrad froze briefly. Then his expression changed completely. He kissed me again slower this time.

“I’ve loved you for a while now,” he admitted quietly.

That confession stayed with me the entire morning afterward.

During the assembly, wolves approached me constantly instead of avoiding me the way they once had. Several younger she- wolves thanked me openly for exposing corruption tied to older Alpha systems.

One woman gripped my hands tightly while tears filled her eyes. “You gave wolves like us courage.”

The words unsettled me deeply because I never intended to become symbolic of anything. I only wanted revenge against the people who destroyed my life.

But somehow, the story had become bigger than only me now.

Conrad stayed close throughout the assembly without overshadowing me once. His hand brushed my back lightly whenever tension inside the room rose too heavily.

Later that evening, Kyra curled beside me on the couch while drawing again. Her forehead wrinkled seriously while she focused on coloring tiny stars around another family portrait.

“Amorah?”

I looked down at her immediately.

“Yes?”

She hesitated briefly before speaking again.

o bad people lese eventually if enough truth comes out?”

The question hit painfully hard.

I brushed her hair gently away from her face before answering carefully. “Not always immediately.”

Kyra looked worried instantly.

“But eventually,” I continued softly, “truth catches up to people who hurt others without caring.”

She relaxed slightly after that answer.

Across the room, Zane pretended not to listen while organizing training equipment, beside Conrad. A few minutes later, he quietly pulled Conrad aside near the hallway.

I only overheard part of the conversation.

“You think she’ll stay?” Zane asked quietly.

Conrad looked confused briefly. “Who?”

“Amorah.”

My chest tightened immediately.

Zane kept his voice low afterward.

“After everything ends,” he continued carefully. “You think she’ll still want us?”

The question clearly affected Conrad because he stayed silent for several seconds before answering.

“She already chose us a long time ago.”

Emotion rose sharply into my throat again.
