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 25 Growling at a Picture

    Adrian's POV Sitting in on our parent's debriefing was almost comical. Weston could barely sit still. He was eager to talk about his mate and eager to get back to him. The Alpha threatened to knock him upside the head if he interrupted them one more time. Nikolai and I placed a bet on how long it would take before he interrupted again. Unfortunately, we both lost when the Alpha turned his attention to Weston. He folded his hands on the desk, and before he could open his mouth, Weston was already talking. “He's so perfect! I can't wait for you guys to meet him! His name is Skyler, and he's the most adorable Omega I've ever met!” Weston gushed, and his father sat back with a proud smile on his face. “I'm very happy for you, but what was the important part that you wanted to talk to us about?”“It's where he's from. He's from Blackfoot Pack. Beta Eric chose him as a breeder for him and Tiffany. Obviously, he didn't want to do that, so he ran away,” Weston said. The Alpha sat back in

  • A Beta's Heart   Chapter 26 Alaric & Evan

    Third Person's POV Soft music played in the background as Adrian cooked in the kitchen. His heart warmed every time he looked into the living room and saw the omegas cuddling on the couch. It was a purr fest in there. The two are lying on the couch; their limbs are tangled, and they're purring up a storm as they nuzzle each other. He's never seen anything cuter. They're head over heels in love with each other, and they're happier than they've ever been.The soft rumble of their purrs is soothing and drowns out the music. Adrian stirs the sauce before tasting it and hums in satisfaction; it's perfect! He sets the spoon down and looks out the window. Any minute, the rest of his friends will be here, but something will still be missing... Alaric.He finds himself wishing Alaric was there. He's the missing piece that would make everything perfect and complete.He begins to wonder what it would be like to have him over for something so casual, like dinner with friends. He looks at the co

  • A Beta's Heart   Chapter 27

    Adrian's POV I spent way too long getting ready. I tried on almost everything in my closet before settling on something I would never wear: a suit and tie. The damn thing felt like it was choking me, but I had the strongest urge to look my best for him, so I sucked it up. I got my hair cut today, but I can’t decide how I want it styled. The sides are short, fading into the longer hair on top. My hair is naturally curly and can sometimes be unruly. Thankfully, with the right product, it's not a frizzy mess. The curls are just right. I gently raked my fingers through them, brushing my hair back so they lay just right. Then, I looked in the mirror and frowned. That won't do. I comb the curls to the left with my fingers and fluff them until they’re just right, but it still looks wrong. I growl in frustration and comb everything to the right with my fingers. After fiddling with the curls and making sure each one laid just right, I'm finally satisfied and head downstairs. A loud whistle

    Adrian's POV This is it. It's permanent. He made his choice, and it wasn't me. There's nothing I can do now but accept it and try to move on. I felt dead inside. Seeing him with someone he chose over me was much worse than when he broke the bond. This hurt differently, and in ways, it cut much deeper.I knew better than to let him into my heart. I don't know why I gave in. I don't know why I caved and let him in further. I should have pushed him away and kicked him out of my room the first time he came to me.I should have never given him myself; maybe it wouldn't hurt so bad if I didn’t. I couldn't pull myself out of bed the following day, but today, you couldn't keep me there.It was too much. I couldn't stop thinking about him. I couldn't stop seeing how gorgeous he looked in that suit. I couldn't get the image out of my head of someone else on his arm, the person he chose to spend the rest of his life with. I had to get those images out of my head, and the only way to do that w

    Adrian's POV “Goddess, I'm such an asshole! Please forgive me! I'm sorry for hurting you,” Alaric said as he passed everyone and entered the pack house. He began peppering my face and neck with kisses while repeatedly saying, “I'm sorry!”I'm not sure how he knew which apartment was mine, but he walked right to my door and opened it as though he had walked through that door many times.I pulled back and looked at him as he walked through the living room. I glanced at the room around us. It was the first time I had ever seen him there. It stirred a new wave of emotions, and my eyes stung… It was something I thought I'd never see.“I'm sorry!” He whispered before pecking my lips. “ I'm sorry!” He said a little louder and kissed my nose. “ I'm sorry!” He said before kissing my cheek. “ I'm sorry!” He said before kissing my forehead, and a smile began to spread across my face as he circled it with kisses. “I'm sorry!” He said as he crawled onto the bed, climbing under the blanket and cov

  • A Beta's Heart   Chapter 30

    Alaric’s POV I was numb. It felt like I was separated from my body, hovering above it and watching my body move as I stepped into my clothes.I never thought my father would choose a mate for me. I had the impression he would let me find someone on my own and fall in love. Apparently, I was wrong.I tried saying no. I argued, and said there was no way I would take someone I didn't know as a mate, but he was adamant. He said it was done. The arrangements were made, and there was nothing I could do to back out. The agreement was made, and the contract was signed. He said breaking the contract would have dire consequences. I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to let my father down. I knew he was counting on me to take over one day since I was the only one who could. My brother doesn't have alpha blood, and we have no other siblings. He would have to start over from scratch and have more children. But even that's no guarantee he would have another Alpha son. The Omegas worked silent

  • A Beta's Heart   Chapter 31

    Adrian's POV When I entered the Alpha's office with Alaric, I was surprised that it was just the Alpha and my father. I didn't expect Nikolai or Weston, but I did expect Leonard. I thought for sure he would be here to drill Adrian for security measures, but it looks like it's not that kind of meeting. When we entered the office, my father glared daggers at Alaric, but he paid him no attention. My father sat in the seat to the right, so I sat next to him and had Alaric sit to my left. With the look my father was giving Alaric, I was afraid he might try to strangle him if they sat next to each other. “I won't pretend I don't know what's happening between you two. I'm well aware you two are mates and that you rejected Adrian the night of the party,” My Alpha said, and a little of Alaric's cockiness was chipped away. He might not have told anyone, but I did, although it wasn't like I had a choice. “I'm the one who found him in the woods that night. He was right where you left him, on

    Arthur's POV My mind won't stop; every thought races through it. His kiss, did I say too much? Where are they and when will they leave? I fucked up… I said too much, and I let it slip again. I’m not sure how much longer I can keep doing this. I'm losing my mind and this battle. I push on my Beta's link, forcing it open, and I hear Lance groan. “Why can you never wait for me to open it?” “Because I'm your Alpha, and I need you,” I snapped.“Yeah, well, I could have been pushing out a turd or jacking off! You could have at least given me a second to stop if I was doing something private!” Lance said, his frustration seeping into the link for me to feel. “Have you heard from Mitchell?” I asked, ignoring his frustration. I don't care what he was doing. I want answers! “No, but I did get a text while I was in the shower. Hang on,” Lance said, and he went silent. It wasn't like a phone where I could hear the sound of movement, or him breathing. His voice was either in my head or it w

  • A Beta's Heart   Chapter 58 Regret

    Nikolai's POV The run back was much different. We didn't play, nip, or tug at each other's fur. There was silence and tension. He seemed lost in his thoughts and hardly paid attention to me. I couldn't help but feel like he regretted kissing me. I can understand why. Alphas don't mate with each other. Hell, most Alphas won't even take a submissive Beta because they're too dominant and headstrong. There's no way one would take another Alpha. What was the point of it all then? Why flirt and kiss me? Just to tease me? That thought put a knot in my stomach and caused my chest to ache. I stayed quiet and kept my distance from him as we ran back through the woods. I felt awkward, and strangely, I felt used, even though nothing happened besides a kiss. Still, it didn't change how I felt. The way he kissed me like that, and now he's acting like I'm not even here. I felt like an idiot for going for a run with him in the first place. He's my father's friend, not mine! Then why did he ask me

    Nikolia’s POVThe sound of their voice disappeared as Art dragged me into the woods. There was a constant blush on my cheeks from the way Art dragged me away and the way he was still holding my arm. A part of me wanted to pull away, but that part was small. I couldn't figure this man out, nor could I understand why I reacted to him the way I did. Why do I have butterflies dancing in my stomach as we walk into the woods, and why does being near him cause my heart to race? And why the hell does he smell so damn good?! I wondered in frustration.“It's your anger and frustration that's not allowing you to succeed,” Art said, breaking the silence. I looked at him and those damn butterflies began flapping their wings in my stomach again. His hazel eyes were looking directly into my blue ones. I wanted to look away, but I couldn't; his eyes held me in place. It wasn't until his lips tugged up that I remembered I was supposed to be saying something. “What do you mean?” I asked.“You coul

    Third Person's POV Skylar slowly walked through the training field with his right arm hooked with Weston's. They slowly strolled through the large field where the center was covered with mats for sparring and the outer edge was unfinished. The conversation between them was light and sweet. Weston was persistent in finding out everything there was to know about his mate. The Omega was timid and blushed as he answered simple questions. His favorite color was easy to answer, but his favorite dessert was a hard one. There were too many sweets he loved, and he couldn't choose just one. The way his eyebrows drew together as he struggled to come up with an answer made Weston laugh and pull him closer, causing warmth to spread through the Omega's chest. Art watched as they walked off. He turned his attention to Nikolai when the young Alpha walked past him. It was like dangling a carrot in front of a horse. The Alpha's eyes were on Nikolai in an instant, and he turned to watch him. He ad

    Third Person's POV The day is warmer than usual, and the sun sits high in the sky, beating down on Nikolai as he struggles to keep up with Leonard. The man's a beast, and he knows how to fight too well. Nikolai grunts when his feet are kicked out from under him, and his back slams against the ground. In an instant, Leonard's knee is against his chest, his left hand is around his throat, and his right is cocked back for a kill shot. “How do you expect to be my Alpha, if you can't last more than 3 minutes with me?” Leonard said before releasing the young Alpha's throat. Nikolai rolled onto his hands and knees, coughing. His back was killing him, and he was hot. He pulled himself to his feet and growled as he tore his shirt off and threw it to the side. Leonard chuckled as he took his position on the mat. “ Is that supposed to help you?” The commander teased, and Nikolai rolled his eyes.“I don't know, maybe it will,” Nikolai said before mumbling under his breath, complaining how hot

  • A Beta's Heart   Chapter 55 It's Instinct

    Third person's POV The Alpha lay with his head propped up, resting on his hand. His fingers trail his Beta's beautiful face, loving the way his light brown skin looks as the morning sun shines on him. He loved the beautiful sight that lay beside him in his arms. He smiled in satisfaction and pulled his warm body closer to him. So many thoughts race through Alaric's head as he watches his mate slowly wake up. When Adrian is lying in his arms, his fears and internal battle disappear. The only thing on his mind, is his beautiful Beta, who lies naked beside him, legs tangled, bodies flush together The Alpha's lips tug up when Adrian hums, licks his lips, and begins searching for him with his face. The Alpha's heart swells when Adrian instinctively senses his face hovering above his, and his head lifts off the pillow, briefly connecting their lips before his head drops back to the pillow.The Alpha smile widens when Adrian wraps his arms tightly around him and hums, pulling him closer a

  • A Beta's Heart   Chapter 54 Ice Blue Light

    Skylar's POVI watched him cook as he talked to me. I couldn't take my eyes off of him as I sat at the counter. He knows my biggest secret, and he's not going to walk away or spread the word and tell everyone he knows. He's accepting me, even though I'm different…I'm a sucker for his scrambled eggs and cheese, but it's been awhile since I've had a sunny side up egg. Weston placed a plate in front of me as he sat down beside me with his own. I licked my lips when I saw how perfectly seasoned they were with salt and pepper. The toast was perfect! Not too light and not too dark, and the bacon was crispy. It was a perfect breakfast! I licked my lips as I grabbed my toast. Weston laughed when I dove in with my toast and murdered the yolk, wiggling the toast into it until it broke, and then proceeded to soak my toast with all the gooey substance. “Man, that was some determination!” Weston said while laughing. “What?” I asked before shoving the soaked toast into my mouth. “The way you

    Skyler's POV I wake up more warm and comfortable than I've ever been. I nuzzle in against the warmth, and I feel something move along my back. That's when I feel it, tingles dancing everywhere. It was like they waited until I was conscious enough to come to life. It's not every day I wake up on top of him. My heart skipped, and my pulse quickened. I feel his chest rising and falling with each breath he takes. I could hear his heart beating as his fingers soothingly caressed my back. My stomach fluttered when I felt him move and kiss my forehead. His finger gently gripped my chin and lifted my head until our eyes met. When they did, my stomach fluttered again. He had a soft smile and hummed as his eyes swept over my face. “Hmmm… Good morning, beautiful,” He said, and I swooned. Beautiful? Me? Those two words don't go together, but somehow he made me feel like they do. His smile widened as he touched my cheek while looking at it. I knew he could see I was blushing, which only cau

    Third Person's POV Nikolai was relieved that Arthur returned to his normal self once they were in the car. He sat in the center of the backseat, leaned forward, and nearly placed himself in the front seat between Victor and Leo, where he proceeded to talk their ears off, amusing no one but the Omega in Victor's arms.Once they passed the front gate, they rolled their windows down and drove through the territory slowly, trying to pick up the slightest scent of rogues. Thankfully, the air smelled clean of rogues. The only thing they could smell was the residual stench from burning the bodies.Once Leo parked the car, Arthur quickly exited the car, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared to run a lap around the packhouse. “Holy shit! He's fucking fast!” “Nikolai!” Victor scolded. “What?”“I know you're old enough to cuss, but ease up on it in front of me. I'm your father! Show some respect!” Victor said firmly, and Nikolai dropped his head.“I'm sorry, Father!”“Apology accepted! L
