Novels by Bethany Hutter

Avril’s POV Tori drives all day, determined to make it to Shadow Mist before nightfall. She seemed even more motivated when she heard that it was a co-Alpha pair. I could tell she was determined to do the same. I, on the other hand, just wanted to forget Jade Pack and move on. I know that if Tori becomes the Alpha, things will change for me, but that pack now gives me a bad taste in my mouth. Perhaps I could find a chosen mate in Shadow Mist pack, since I for sure wasn’t getting a second chance after I rejected my first. Emerald whimpers at that thought. I can tell she misses Hyde, even after he tried to force himself on us. She explained that he was frustrated at his human’s lack of backbone when it came to standing up to his father. She again gives me a vision of the soft brown eyes I’ve seen so many times now. I yawn as the sky darkens to dusk. How long had we been driving already? I hope the Alphas have a place for us to crash as soon as we get there. I’ve been working hard to k

Avril’s POVI could barely process what just happened before Tori threw some yoga pants and a t-shirt at me. “Hurry.” Tori says as she grabs some clothes for herself. I recognise her voice at least, but I have never actually seen Tori before. I shake my head and pull the clothes on. “I don’t know what the punishment is for knocking the future Alpha out cold, but I don’t want to find out.” I grab our bags from under the bed. I’m relieved we prepared them ahead of time. She grabs my arm and yanks me towards the car. I follow behind her swiftly. “I’m sorry that you don’t get to say goodbye to Aaron.” I say softly as I sit in the passenger seat.Tori sighs. “Yeah. Me too. But it’s not as if we had much of a choice. I couldn’t let my brother do that to you.” We reach the edge of the pack. Tori waves her hand and the warriors let us out of the gate. Evidently, Wesley hasn’t woken up and mind-linked everyone yet. She finally makes her way through to the edge of the packlands.“Alright. We

Avril’s POV After I heard that Tori was planning on separating herself from Aaron, I knew I had about a week to convince them otherwise. At least try to get Aaron to come with us. It’s not right for fated mates to be apart. I mentally formed the argument I would bring up to my brother. Tori seemed set in her decision so it will be more worth my time to persuade Aaron. Not that a male wolf needs a lot of encouragement when it comes to staying close to his mate. It truly consumed my thoughts as I shared my meal with Tori. I wonder how Shadow Mist would treat me. My wolf says I’m special, but I can’t shake the feeling that I’m a burden. Sure, there’s a lot I can do on my own, but I can’t help but feel like Tori, Aaron and even Wesely are being dragged down by me. We were his mate. Emerald reminds me. He was supposed to cherish us, no matter our weaknesses, strengths, looks, or whatever ideas he had in his head. The Goddess made us for him, and he threw us out. I mean technically I re

Avril’s POVI feel a sob leave my throat as the two warriors lead me to my new home. I know it’s useless to resist. I’m just lucky that Alpha Steel didn’t ban friends and family from visiting me. Though I’m pretty much not allowed to go anywhere. My thoughts drift to his Alpha order. I shiver in disgust. How can he take away my free will like that? I won’t forget how Tori defended me until her father threatened to bar her from seeing me ever again. I know she kept her mouth shut so she could still visit me in the outskirts, though I imagine her Alpha Steel will find reasons to keep her busy. I’m also reeling when I realize Elya was the one Wesley was betraying me with. This day keeps getting rougher and rougher. At least it’s almost over.The cottage is surprisingly not musty smelling and the floor feels clean. I make my way through the unfamiliar house trying to memorize my surroundings. Tori promised to help me get fully settled when she can get away from the packhouse. I sigh and t

Wesley’s POV He looks furious. I guess the doctors must have informed him of my betrayal of my mate. He has always impressed on me the importance of mates. “Is it true?” He growls at me. I sigh. “Look… she isn’t 18 yet. How was I supposed to know she’d feel the pain of betrayal?” “Not that!” He roars. “You’re mated to that useless, blind wolf! That bitch is the future Luna of our pack?” He takes some deep breaths. “I know I’ve told you about the importance of mates, but clearly the Moon Goddess has made a mistake. You need to find a second chance.” My own wolf starts to surface. “You will not insult my mate! She is our Luna!” I felt him shout at our father before I could stop him. “She cannot be the Luna of this pack!” My father shouts back. He breathes in again. His eyes narrow at me. He recognizes her scent in my room. I shift uncomfortably, guessing at what he smells. I brace myself for his roar again. He chuckles instead, with a glimmer in his eye that is somehow worse than

Avril’s POV“What are you doing?” I protest weakly. I find myself unable to fight his advances and Emerald is urging me to let him have us. “I’m taking what’s mine.” Wesley whisper’s sensually into my ear. “I’ll look after her now.” I hear him say to the doctors. I hear their approval. I want to tell them to make him stop and to let me stay in the hospital, but the tingles from his arms being all around me render me speechless. Emerald is howling in pure bliss. I understand how she feels. Everything about this feels amazing, but someone needs to keep their wits about them. I’m aware that he’s taken me into his room in the packhouse. He lays me on his bed. He starts to stroke my legs. I realize that I’m only in a hospital gown. He lifts it off me and I race to cover my body. Wesely growls. “Mine.” As he grabs my wrists and pins them at my side as he drinks in the sight of my body. I can feel his eyes burning into my skin. I whimper. He groans at the sound as I feel his finger probe a
