Chapter: The Deadline Bethany's POVI couldn't tear my gaze away from Gerald's face as we drove out of the Royal Villa. He had only been away from the pack for like what? Five months? Just how did he live his life during those five months? The Gerald I knew would always cower before Dad, but this new version of him was really scary.And what was it about him calling me wifey? I suddenly felt his gaze on me and as my eyes locked on his rich brown orbs, I forgot how to breathe.I had to fight the sudden urge to fan my face as his gaze bored into mine unwaveringly. I shifted uneasily in the seat and he must have noticed it because he soon smiled and then looked away.Was it the kiss we shared that was making me react to him this way? Made me so aware of him, physically? He was my fucking best friend! So what if he was as sexy as hell?I couldn't let a pesky feeling ruin our friendship. Plus, I still hadn't broken the mate bond with Trevor.The car's tires screeched to a halt in front of his house and I follo

Chapter: The DealBethany's POVI found myself fighting for oxygen when he broke the kiss. His lips had been so firm, demanding complete surrender. I had to admit, Gerald kissed like a pro which was so surprising judging by the fact that he was always so uninterested in women I once thought he was gay. I shouldn't have enjoyed the kiss. I was only trying to get back at Trevor for cheating on me. But I'd be damned if I said I didn't enjoy it."You slut!" Trevor's voice broke into my head.But before I could speak, Gerald was standing in front of me, shielding me from Trevor. He was taller than Trevor which gave him an advantage."Address my woman like that, one more time and it would be your head flying to that corner!"There was something about the way he said it that sent an unholy shiver down my spine. Did he just call me his woman? And why did that make me feel so hot?I furrowed my brows as I assessed him again. Sure, he was best friend of five years but why did he feel so different? More powerfu

Chapter: Kissing Bestfriend Bethany's POVMy wolf made a whimpering sound in my head and I knew she was in pain.My knees gave way and I would have slid to the ground if not for the strong arms that wrapped firmly around my waist, pulling me against their sturdy chest.I was distracted for a moment and I swallowed hard as I sniffed the ever-so-familiar scent of the man.Slowly, my eyes raked over his gorgeous face, framed by the tousled strands of thick black hair. His rich brown slanted eyes and finely chiseled jaws accentuated his facial contour and it took me a while to realize that the man was none other than my best friend."Gerald?" Surprise flared in my whisper as I recoiled out of his arms. He was back in the pack? Oh! He must have come to celebrate with me but look at who is celebrating with a view of her cheating fiance.He gave me a sympathetic look and then whispered. "Let's just leave, Beth."Tears burned the corner of my eyes, blurring my vision as I turned away from him. No, I couldn't. If I trie

Chapter: The BetrayalBethany's POV"CEO Beth?" Trevor's voice drifted in at the same time my office door squeaked open.A smile crept up my face as my mate, and fiance sauntered towards me. He looked so perfect in those finely tailored suits and I knew he wore them to celebrate my achievement.He reached me and wrapped his arms around my waist while I brought my lips to his, planting a light kiss. I tried to pull back but his hand sneaking into my dress stopped me.My eyes went wide. "Trevor!"He winked and I laughed. "Actually, I have a---"A loud knock on the door cut me off and we leaped apart, startled. The knock persisted and even increased so I quickly adjusted my dress and went to open the door. A frown immediately appeared on my face as my stepsister's face came into view. She peeped inside my office and then slanted me a disdainful look. "It's your big day yet you're keeping everybody waiting. That's so like you!" She hissed.I scoffed. "Anyone who heard you would think you really cared. The ce
