A Beta's Heart Chapter 17
Adrian's POV Timothy was frantic as he fussed over Milo. Thankfully, the wound wasn't bad. He only needed a few stitches, but the way his Omega fretted over him, you would have thought he was on death's door. Once I was sure he was okay, I slipped out to give them some privacy and returned to my room. Once there, I looked at my body, and my throat swelled. He's hurt me before, but never his wolf. The wounds on my body are far worse than Milo's. No wonder the doctor kept asking to look at me. I let my eyes move higher, and my chest tightens when I see what caused this. The Omega did a pretty good job marking me. It looks real. No wonder he was so angry. Maybe this is all my fault. Maybe I should have tried harder to explain. I thought, exhaling in defeat as I turned away from the mirror and stepped into the shower. Alaric's POV I growled as I paced my room. Everything Within reach was immediately broken and thrown across the room. My bedroom was a disaster, and I didn't care. Why t

Alaric's POV I was surprised when he fell asleep. I've never seen him like this before. The last time we had sex, he kicked me out while I was still inside him. This time was different, much different. This time, we didn't have sex once, not even twice. I made my beautiful Beta cum five times before I felt his energy leave his body. He looked drunk; his eyes were barely open. He gave me a soft smile as he traced my face before his eyes fluttered closed, and he fell asleep with me still inside him. I cleaned him up long ago, and now I lay looking at him. I can't wrap my head around this side of him. I know he's just sleeping, but somehow, it's so much more. He's unconscious. He's vulnerable. He looks so beautiful and peaceful.I've never seen him like this. He always has his guard up and ready for a fight, but not this time. He allowed himself to be vulnerable with me. He didn't have to fall asleep. He's a Beta, and a damn strong one! He could have fought it, but he didn't. He allowe

Adrian's POV I groaned when I came out of the bathroom and found Nikolai had broken into my room. The idiot was sitting at my desk, scrolling through his phone with a shirt wrapped around his mouth and nose. “What are you doing in here?” “I told you, don't knock Detective Nikolai! I said I was going to figure it out, and I did. I picked your lock, and as soon as I entered your room, the nasty evidence hit me like a dirty disaster! That shit stinks! For crying out loud, you could have at least changed your dirty sheets!” Nikolai said as he pointed at my bed. I groaned as I pinched the bridge of my nose. “So Alaric, huh? First you two fight till the death, and then you fucked to death? What kind of crazy “I desperately need Prozac” kind of shit is that?” Nikolai said, and I rolled my eyes. If this idiot's going to break into my room while I'm in the shower, then he can deal with the consequences! I thought as I dropped my towel to put on my clothes. Nikolai shrieked and quickly cove

Third Person's POV “Hold up! I think I pulled a hamstring,” Nikolai said, wincing as he reached down and rubbed his leg. “That's your shin, and that would be a shin splint!” Adrian said, shaking his head. “Well, whatever it is, it hurts like a bitch!” Nikolai said as he rubbed his shin. The Alpha dropped down in the snow and held his leg. Weston sat down in front of him, grabbed Nikolai's foot, and put it in his lap, straightening the Alpha's leg. “You need to strengthen your shins,” Weston said as he massaged Nikolai's leg. The Alpha winced when he pressed against the bone, digging deep into the muscle. “I think I'm going to do it,” Weston said, piquing everyone's interest.“Do what? Finally, buy that blow-up doll you've had your sights on?” Nikolai said before screaming in pain. “Hey!” Nikolai said as he tried to push Weston away from his aching leg. “Don't say dumb shit when I have your weakness in my hands!” Weston said and began massaging his leg again. “Anyways, like I w

His POV I was vaguely aware that we had entered the pack house. I couldn't move or open my eyes; I didn't want to. I never thought I would have a mate. Not many of us get one, and the ones that do wish they didn't. Most people don't want an Omega as a mate, and the pain from a rejection is brutal. Half of the time, it kills our wolf. Our Omega wolf is too weak to handle a rejection. If it doesn't kill them, some of the effects are permanent. Like never being able to shift again, or losing other connections between the wolf and human, like the connection that allows a wolf to heal its human. Sometimes it's severed. This means no more rapid healing. It takes them just as long to heal as a human. Because of that, their bodies become weaker, and their bones become more fragile. The only ranks likely to accept an Omega are Delta 3s and sometimes Delta 2s. A Delta 1 accepting an Omega is rare. Especially a large and strong one like this one.This Delta 1 wasn't disgusted the moment he laid

His POV I have no idea how big this pack is. I can't believe we're not out of it yet! It feels like we've been running for hours, but I think we're just exhausted. My stomach drops, my chest tightens, and I stumble when I hear the gut-wrenching howl of my mate. There were so many emotions in that howl. Pain, fear, and panic. It had Rain sliding to a halt and wanting to run back to him. “Don't do it! Please! I don't want to lose you! I love you,” I pleaded, and my stomach dropped when Rain howled. I felt his stomach drop. He didn't mean to reply to his mate's call. It was instinct and heartache. He quickly turned and ran even faster than before. My wolf pushed himself as hard as he could, but I knew it was in vain. I could hear him in the distance getting closer and closer. It was like a train wreck waiting to happen. I felt defeated and watched it unfold. I heard his howl again, and Rain's steps falter, slowing down for a brief moment before running as fast as he could. It was en

Skylar's POV After trying to lick the first bowl clean, I quickly learned that it earned me another bowl of white chicken chili. I had every intention of licking the second bowl clean, but I didn't count on my eyes being bigger than my stomach. I ate way more than my stomach could handle, and thankfully, he understood what was happening when my hand slapped over my mouth. He quickly stood and carried me to the garbage can. As soon as my face hovered over it, my stomach emptied at once. I wasn't expecting him to be so concerned or take care of me the way he did.He set me on the counter next to the sink, grabbed a clean washcloth, and wiped my face. After he was done, he placed a hand on my cheek. “Are you okay?” He asked as he searched my face.For a moment, I didn't know how to reply. No one had ever seemed so concerned about me. All I did was overfill my stomach, but by his reactions, you would have thought it was something more. It took me by surprise, and a lump formed in my th

Alaric's POV My father has been riding my ass since he's been back. I don't know what his deal is, but he's become a real pain in my ass.I try to focus on work, but he plagues my thoughts. I can still feel his smooth, silky skin under my hands and hear his beautiful moans. I can feel the way his body shudders under my touch and see pleasure dancing on his face. I can see his beautiful brown eyes and feel his lips on mine. Goddess, he smells so good!I try not to think of him and wonder if I can just forget about him. It would be for the best. My father would never approve of him. Our packs are too different; our worlds are too far apart. But Goddess, he feels so good in my arms!!It's been four days since I've seen him, four days since I felt him. It should be getting easier, but it's not; it's getting harder. You would have thought the bond was never broken the way I yearn for him. You would have thought our time together is strengthening it, but I know that can't be possible. I bro

A Beta's Heart Chapter 42
Third Person's POV Nikolai isn't sure if the asshole did it on purpose, or if it was a freak accident, but when he opened the door to climb into the backseat of his parents car, he found himself staring into Alaric's eyes.Nikolai swears it was a reflex when his stomach retched. The thought of sitting all cozy next to that asshole even for 30 minutes was nauseating and had him gagging. Nikolai nearly lunged forward into Alaric's lap when his dad swatted him before climbing into the front seat. He was horrified when he heard not only Alaric but also Adrian and his own father snort before laughing at his expense. He would have growled at everyone if his dad hadn't been there. Even though his dad was small, that little Omega sometimes scared him. Nikolai huffed and mumbled under his breath as he climbed into the backseat and pressed his body against the door, trying to keep as much distance as possible between himself and the clown beside him. Nikolai nearly jumped out of his skin w
A Beta's Heart Chapter 41
Third person's POV Skylar's eyes were closed and a soft smile rested on his face. Goosebumps spread along his body as Weston's fingers lightly trailed his arm, shoulder, neck and back. The Omega was in a blissful state of happiness, lost in his mate's touch, scent and warmth. He had never experienced such affection, and it felt incredible. His Delta's strong hands were surprisingly soft and gentle as they affectionately touched him. Weston couldn't take his eyes off of his mate. The way he lay in his arms, nuzzled in against his chest. Each time he hears the sound of his purr trying to kick on his heart flutters and he holds his breath, hoping to hear the beautiful sound. Unfortunately, Skylar catches himself each time and pulls in his purr. Years of not being allowed to be happy were ingrained in him. There weren't many instances, but the rare occasions where he purred, he learned how unacceptable it was.Lips press against the side of Skylar's face and warmth quickly fills him. Th
A Beta's Heart Chapter 40
Third Person's POV Adrian took Alaric's hand, threading their fingers tightly together, and took one last breath before pushing the door open and leading Alaric outside. Almost immediately Adrian felt everyone's eyes on them. Nikolai's laughter died as soon as his eyes landed on Alaric. Adrian prayed his mate would make it out of this in one piece as he walked toward his family. His father looked indecisive, as if he was unsure whether to pound Alaric's face in, or accept him. Alpha Victor had a blank expression, and Leonard had an amused expression. ‘Probably remembering all the times Alaric stumbled out of his bedroom.’ Adrian thought. Weston's expression mirrors Victor's, and Nikolai looks ready to murder Alaric, which doesn't surprise Adrian. Alaric saw everyone's expression and wasn't the least bit surprised they didn't look happy to see him. He didn't blame them, but he couldn't stop his cockiness from rearing its head. “I'm glad you could finally join us,” Victor said as
A Beta's Heart Chapter 39
Third Person's POV “Now don't you worry about anything! These big men might look scary, but they're a bunch of saps. For example, I don't know if you met Timothy and Milo, but they're two Omegas that love each other very much, but could never take each other as chosen mates because something like that isn't allowed in other places. Those big scary men risked everything to purchase them for their freedom so they can be together, and they would do the same for you and other Omegas.Anyone of them would jump up and risk their lives for those two little Omegas, just like my son, Nikolai, and Adrian would. They might look scary, but they would never hurt you. You have my word, and my word means everything to me. Besides, you're my son-in-law. If anyone hurts you, they'd have to deal with me and Wes. That's a combo no one wants to mess with! I might look small, cute and innocent, but I've taken the commander of this pack down, and the Beta once or twice, and I'd do it again if anyone messe
A Beta's Heart Chapter 38
Third Person's POV Adrian felt like an ass. What he said about Omegas was true, some kill themselves after their child is taken from them. He wasn't trying to hurt him. He was trying to open his eyes to what they go through. He had no idea Alaric's dad died and that it wasn't even suicide. It was negligence from the hospital, and more than likely his father's chosen mate played a hand in it as well.If Adrian had known, he would have never said what he said. When Alaric pulled back, Adrian took his face into his hands. The Alpha grabbed Adrian's shirt and pulled him closer, pressing their foreheads together. “You don't have to apologize. I understand what you were doing. You wanted me to see things the way that you do.” “Do you?” Adrian asked, and he shrugged. “I think I always have. I don't know… I don't know if I was going along with it because I was afraid to go against the grain and afraid to upset our people and my father, or if I was just turning a blind eye to it… once I f
A Beta's Heart Chapter 37
Skyler's POV As I took a shower, I replayed that moment in the woods when my powers came back. I knew he had to have seen them. That was a burst, and it was a big one. The others I experienced were never near anyone, but this was different, and my mate was on the other side of that tree.I know he had to have seen it. How could he not? The blue light was almost blinding. Thank Goddess it was only a release of energy and nothing harmful. I don't know what I would have done if I had hurt him. He was different on the walk back to the packhouse. He was quiet and looked deep in thought. I wanted to talk to him. I wanted to ask him what he was thinking, but I already knew…I was afraid of what he was thinking. He saw it, but did he know it was me? Maybe he didn't. Maybe he thought it came from somewhere else. I can only hope he doesn't know it came from me. The last thing I need is for him to find out I'm a freak. I wonder what he would do if he found out. He would probably reject me, thr
A Beta's Heart Chapter 36
Skylar's POV Instead of being scared, I was excited as Weston walked me through the pack house and out the back door. As excited as I was, it was nothing compared to Rain's excitement. He bounced off the walls in my head, making it hurt. I struggled to keep him contained. He was ready to shift before we made it into the woods. Unfortunately, his excitement was so high that it was stirring our powers that have been dormant since we were rescued. It reminded me of someone trying to start the engine of an old vehicle that didn't want to start. I could feel that familiar pressure and static sensation swirling in my core as it tried to kick on. ‘Knock it off!’ I scolded my excited wolf, but it did no good. We were in the woods, and he knew that any moment, Weston would stop and say it was time to shift. He was too excited to meet his Delta wolf. I think Weston could feel my excitement, he looked down at me and smiled. “I suppose this is as good as any spot,” Weston said, pulling his sh
A Beta's Heart Chapter 35
Adrian's POV I rolled onto my back as the bathroom door closed and exhaled as I looked at the ceiling. I stared at it for a moment and wondered if this was real. Did he really claim me? My hand instinctively reaches up, and my heart flutters when I touch my neck, and a pleasurable tingling sensation shoots through my body, letting me know it's real. It doesn't hurt; his tongue healed the wound, leaving behind his mark in a raised pattern of his teeth. My scent is no longer my own. His scent is now mixed with mine. For me it's faint, and once I'm used to it I won't realize it's there, but for others it's very noticeable. If someone can't see my mark, they'll definitely know I'm claimed by my scent alone since it's the scent of two people. To Alaric, my scent doesn't change much. My unique scent that only he can smell as his mate is still there, and just as strong. The only difference now is he can smell the faint underlying scent of his own, as if he scented me and it's wearing off.
A Beta's Heart Chapter 34
Alaric's POV I knew I hurt him when I broke the bond. I know I hurt him each time we had sex and I didn't mark him, but goddess I wanted to. I wanted to so badly. I knew I hurt him, but I never realized the extent of it. I hurt him deeper than I ever realized.Seeing the pain in his eyes and feeling it as if it's your own are too different things. One is an assumption since you can only see it, and the other is surety. You feel it as though it's your heartbreak.I feel like the biggest ass. All those times he was waiting and hoping that I'd claim him. All those nights I saw his smiling face when I dropped down from the balcony was a mask to cover his pain. Each night I disappeared into the woods, he was left alone with his disappointment and broken heart. I went home happy while he cried himself to sleep. I got my fix. My heart was content, and I stayed away until I couldn't and needed another fix of him. He was my drug, and I was his soulmate. He held onto hope that one day, I would
