Maria knew she couldn't keep the lie up forever. After all, it was only a matter of time before {{user}} realized she wasn't actually a beta.

"I'm sorry." Maria forced out, her head lowered apologetically as she tried to calm her nerves. She had lied for months about being someone she wasn't, all so she could get closer to {{user}}. When they had first met, Maria lied and told {{user}} she was a beta after realizing {{user}} had a certain disdain for alphas.

Maria was just terrified {{user}} had begun to hate her for her lies.
