Beauty and the Beta

I have since learned the two of them had played football together in the inter-pack football squads many moons ago. Back when my Dad considered himself quite the footballer. Back when he could actually run around without feeling like he would collapse and have a heart attack. No, I shouldn’t be mean, my Dad was…

“I will go and deal with that.” I told Caleb and Eden, knowing they too would have heard the security alert. An opportunity to deal with rogues is always a welcome prospect. Rogues are who took my mate. Snatched the life from her beautiful body. So now I take great pleasure in watching the life…

“Of working here, I hope.” She says with a wink, moving toward the refrigerator to remove some cakes. “Because me and Alpha Caleb had said we think you would be perfect for the position if you would like to come and work for us.” I let out a guilty chuckle. She truly seemed determined to…

I turned to look at him. “I had no intention of running away, Miles, and you know I didn’t. My Dad took me.” “Hmm. Still went without permission.” He hissed, his eyes almost squinting in anger. Causing me to roll my eyes in irritation. This guy is now in his twenties but still acts like…

“Do not go there Bailey, you stupid bitch. And I will say again, that job you went for the interview for is not happening. You belong here. This is your pack. I will be your Alpha soon enough. You will answer to me and no other.” I dictate, because I know that I need her…

“That’s my girl!” Harley grinned proudly at me. “I knew you would smash it. So, when do you start?” I slowly shook my head. “I can’t.” His face changed in an instant. “This is him again, isn’t it?” I avoided his gaze as I spoke. “It isn’t that simple, Harley.” “You are a fucking fool,…

‘A fresh start Akira!’ I told her excitedly. ‘If he lets us go, of course.’ She snarls, like she expects a fall-out. ‘We just don’t tell him until the last moment.’ I told her. If Harley had marked me, I could go with him and there would be nothing Miles could do about it. Because…

“Miles always said you had a thing for him. I told him he was off his fucking head. But he is right, isn’t he? You want him. Is that why he lets you stay, because he feels bad for you?” Jordan’s face grimaces in horror. I imagine mine would pretty much reflect his, because the…

“When?” I demanded. “The year after he first shifted.” She says with so little feeling like she had become accustomed to all of this now. “Why did we not know?” “He did not want anyone to know. And that hasn’t changed. I just get sick of being made to look like I am in the…
