Beauty and the Beta

I looked at my Dad, and the determined expression on his face bothered me. Surely my parents are not going to pause on the Alpha ceremony until I have my mate by my side? That would be sheer lunacy, wouldn’t it? Who does that? Alphas rule on their own. “Me and your Mum were thinking…

“Yeah?” he looks to me with a tilt of his head, but the smile across his face his was so genuine it gave me butterflies. “In a bad way?” I have to say it feels quite nice to have someone here pay me attention. It happened every now and again whilst I was away studying,…

“I think it should be Alpha Miles to you.” he says with a jeer. “Erh…” his Dad began , but was silenced by Miles with a wave of his hand. I would like to think my Uncle may have been about to defend me. Or tell Miles to control himself. “As I was saying, Miles,…

“Thanks.” I nodded at him. “Asher, you look fed up, love.” Eden walked across to me, resting her head of long, dark braids upon my shoulders. “Just tired Eden, not sleeping too good.” I explained. “And hoping tonight goes okay.” “You worry too much, you know that once everyone has a few drinks down them,…

And don’t they say first opinions matter the most? He came across as mean and moody, and quite honestly terrifying. I could not imagine anybody wanting to approach him for assistance, he would likely eat them alive sooner than help them. I could see the former Alpha, his ability to walk was somewhat declining. But…

“If you are going behind the back of our senior pack members it would be.” Jordan argues, and I am shocked he would report his own Dad, because that is certainly what it sounded like he was implying. “I will be speaking to them. Do not worry your pretty little head, Jordan. It will explode…

My wolf pushed forward the moment we left the packhouse doors, my bones twisting and cracking, altering shape and position to form the large and strong shape of my Beta Wolf, Zion. He took off after the strong Alpha wolf of Caleb, Thor, toward the area we knew many of our pack were. The breeze…

“Okay beautiful, you go to sleep. You will stop hurting then. There is nothing to be sorry for. I love you.” I whispered, knowing she was already going. She was likely already going the moment she screamed my name. And the pain filling my body is the worst pain imaginable. I was her mate. I…
