Alpha King's Unmated Sister-in-law Chapter 34
Daniel took the letters from Teo. "Two of them," he remarked. "Interesting." He glanced at Beth to find her frowning even more deeply. So they had been thinking the same thing, had they?"Um...Also, I suppose it's relevant to mention that the messenger wanted to pass on that you were both invited because...you're both unattached and without mates. That perhaps you might be searching, and maybe Elizabeth might be ready to return to her birth pack..."Teo trailed off, which was just as well. Daniel was about to tear up the invitations just from what the man had said already. Beth was family. She hadn't reneged on the engagement promise to Warren. She had married him, if only for a little while, and she was with the Heether pack now. This wasn't some stay at a temporary inn. She was where she wanted to be, where she belonged."We'll be there."His eyes darted over to Beth. What? She was the one who had looked even more annoyed by the information than him. But she was going to accept?"Ha

Ms. Rokley? Who was calling her that? She hadn't been called by that name since before the wedding. Even as a widow, she carried herself as the bride of the late Warren Heether, so custom demanded others name and treat her the same way. So what was this? Someone who had no idea who she was? But then, how would they have found her here past the hectic party and recognized her on sight? They had to know her face to be able to call to her by name, which meant they should know who she was and all the trouble that surrounded her as of late.But when she spun to see who it was, all questions were answered.There, moving over the grass to join them in the patio before the doors, was the man who had called out to her - and accompanying a woman with an all too familiar face.Annalise."This is my fiance, Noah White," Anna announced when they came to a stop. "And this is my sister, Elizabeth Rokley. I'm glad I saw you when you ran out here. I didn't want to miss my own sister! You've come so

All that fluff about how she had been so excited to elope with Matthew Catii was lying nonsense, and why Anna was going to such lengths to make up obvious bullshit right to her face was a mystery, but she could at least answer her final question. Not with the truth, of course, since even if Beth wanted to reveal it, no one would believe her for a fraction of a second. But she could give an answer that would shut Anna up for the time being and get her off her case. If that was the best she could do for now, she would take it.Anna guided her to the hedge garden with carefully shorn walls of greenery as Beth considered how to answer. It was suspiciously thoughtful of her to give them privacy now instead of forcing the conversation to continue where the occupants of the house past the open rear doors might hear. But really, suspiciously thoughtful indeed. Beth squinted, wondering if Annalise had become emboldened even more quickly in this life than the one before and had planned some k

Noah stared at Daniel, unable to respond to the biting criticism. It was probably the first time anyone from a 'lesser' nation had dared speak to him like that, even if it was an Alpha who did it. He was still an influential Beta of a powerful Gold Nation pack, and to be chastised in public by someone of the now-weak Heether pack of Silver Nation, even if it was the heir-apparent, had forced him into an incredulous and embarrassed silence. Everyone was still around and listening in while pretending not to, after all. They had probably heard every word.It had been gratifying to hear almost exactly what Beth had wanted to say but from Daniel's mouth instead. There was something particularly satisfying about someone else agreeing and speaking the same thoughts she held. But this was shaping up to end badly. They still had an audience even if the other guests were pretending not to eavesdrop from where they sat on the various benches and around fire pits. No doubt word of this would spr

They found refuge on the benches around a small fire pit no one else was occupying. They weren't distant enough from the other guests to avoid the stares from the closest ones, but at least they had peace here instead of Anna's theatrics and constant scheming."It must have been hard growing up with your sister. I didn't notice she was like this when I met her before, but it's clear now that she's really something."Beth looked to Daniel as the sparks floated up from the fire pit into the sky. So he was the one breaking the silence first. She had been trying to work up the nerve and the energy to say what she should say to him after all the misleading things Anna had said for everyone's viewing delight, but there was no need for it after all."Thank you," said Beth. "I didn't think she would go that far just to spite me when she should be busy helping host her future father-in-law's birthday. She's made an idiot out of both me and herself.""Not you. No one with a brain would have fal

Deja vu. Or was it? The question sent a chill of grim awareness down Beth's spine, but she had never been asked the question before. So maybe it wasn't deja vu so much as the dread of inevitability.In the other life, Daniel Heether and Matthew Catii had worked together for a time too, until it devolved into a mess of bloodshed and carnage that no one could stop once it gained momentum.Was this something that had to pass no matter what? Was Beth powerless to stop it? She had all the knowledge of the future but every time she tried to steer the present away from what it would become, it only reared up harder."Why do you want to work with Matthew Catii?" she asked casually, affecting general skepticism to cover over the instant bristling that raised her every hair. "I thought you didn't get along with him. If he's already riding your nerves as just acquaintances, you might have a hard time tolerating him when you're working more closely together.""I don't like him, but I was hoping I

Things should have been more awkward between them after that conversation loaded with lies, half-lies, and reluctant truths, but somehow, Beth thought the distance between Daniel and herself shrank dangerously as they stood next to each other, breathing in the cool spring night. And was it her imagination, or did he think the same way? He smiled at her even more easily now, and his eyes remained fixed on her for longer than before whenever she spoke. They never strayed, and neither did hers. Or maybe that was just the good atmosphere that settled around them from the party and the general merriness. Now that Anna and her theatrical mess-making had made themselves scarce, it was...peaceful. Nice.They filed back inside along with the other guests on the rear lawn when an announcement went out that Noah's father, Orion White, would soon be making his appearance now that the time was approaching. Custom demanded that everyone invited congratulate him personally, so getting in line firs

Everyone assembled in the grand dome of the main hall, watching on and chattering in good spirits as they applauded the older man presently making his way down the magnificent central steps leading down toward the center of the hall. Orion White took his time with the assistance of his son and a Delta attendant, limping and leaning heavily on one side but otherwise seeming in positive spirits. Tired, though, Beth noted with a shrewd eye. Orion White had been injured long ago, and rumor said he suffered from mild gout or something else that afflicted his leg, but he had far too many white hairs and weathered lines on his face for someone who wasn't even sixty. He had been a strong Beta warrior with good genes, and those from the prosperous Gold Nation were supposed to enjoy the fruits of longevity more than werewolves of the other three nations. Yet, he looked a decade older than he was and couldn't even make it down the steps on his own."Happy birthday, Orion White!" everyone shou

The rogues won.Andrew smiled as he placed the tattered letter inside his stylish jacket for safekeeping. It would make for a good memento once he did the deed and ended the war for good, branding Daniel as a power-mad despot who had tried to rally the greedy Alpha Kings against the honorable Gold Nation.The rogue leader Karthen had even mentioned it might be possible to frame it as Daniel attacking the combined forces of Iron and Bronze, with Gold Nation coming to the rescue. After all, Alpha Matthew Catii was the only survivor, and he was so weak it would be no trouble bending him to his will.Now all Andrew had to do was meet with Karthen, collect the heads, and this stupid pretend war would be over."I think I'll go in ceremony," he announced to his Beta. "Gather the troops just in case since we might be stabbed in the back by the rogues... Well, either way we would have turned on them next. It's almost over, friend. You've served me well.""It's an honor to be with you at the mo
Alpha King's Unmated Sister-in-law Chapter 129
This was never going to go to Union Court. It was going to go straight to war, and Beth was ready to fight. Andrew Troy had manipulated his way to victory every time but now, he would get what was coming to him.No one knew where his father was so he was all but Alpha King of Gold Nation now, which made him the most influential party in Union Court. Like hell Beth was going to bother bringing up a grievance against the most powerful member there. That was going to be open and shut and he was just going to find a way to punish everyone involved, and with legal backing.Better to just take the fight to his face and show him what was what. Beth already had her sleeves up and claws out.... Except Daniel and everyone else forbid her from leaving the Heether pack house. Completely."I am not an invalid!" she shouted. "I can still fight!""Beth... Please. You're going to stress out the baby.""The baby is stressed out because you're leaving me behind!"Daniel held her tight, stifling her st

Daniel wasted no time in telling his mother the truth that day. That is, that he and Beth had secretly been in a relationship for weeks now, technically months since they had definitely been tip-toeing around each other in poor, secret denial long before they truly pledged themselves to each other.Beth was not ready. She was still adjusting to being back in the Heether territory, still adjusting to the relief and anger and determination to take Andrew down even though she was undoubtedly pregnant. She had only just confessed to Anna about that, and Luna Margaretta already knew? Before Beth had had a chance to ready herself?"It'll be all right. She'll come around." Daniel placed his hands on her belly, which had not yet begun to grow but would soon swell with the life of their growing baby. "It's important that everyone's on alert, keeping them in the dark will only make things more dangerous."She swallowed hard. Daniel was right, but that didn't mean it make it any easier. Anna had
Alpha King's Unmated Sister-in-law Chapter 127
As an Alpha, Beth could throw off sedatives without lasting damage. Whatever Andrew had drugged her with, it wasn't doing permanent physical harm, and the effects were reversing already. Her regenerative ability had only improved over the last year with the constant strain she had put her body through, and she thanked it now as they rolled through the streets past the growing chaos of soldiers searching the streets for their missing prisoner. With any luck, within a few days of having untainted food and drink, she and the baby would be right as rain.Andrew had discovered her absence far sooner than she had hoped, but it couldn't be helped. Someone must have checked in with breakfast earlier than usual. But for the bad luck to strand them all in the city and get them caught up in the manhunt...Matt had prepared everything, at least. She still had misgivings about him that would never go away for as long as she lived -- sounds wounds ran far too deep to ever forgive -- but he had done
Alpha King's Unmated Sister-in-law Chapter 126
The first thing Beth saw when she came to was Daniel's blurred face. Even though her head pounded so fiercely she could hardly breathe, the sight of his face swimming in her swirling vision sent such sheer joy and pleasure through her that tears sprang to her eyes."Daniel...""Shhh, Beth, don't try to get up. Rest. I just brought you to the place where I'm staying, and it's a decent place to hide for now, but we don't have a doctor here yet. You need to be seen, something's wrong." He lifted his head, looked at someone over his shoulder. "Go! Find a--""Wait!" She grasped at his shirt, fingers digging weakly into the fabric. "Wait, don't. Andrew doesn't know I've escaped. When he finds out, he'll start a search and hunt me down, and anyone would figure out that it was me if they see me like this. I'm a mess."Daniel leaned down and kissed her forehead. "Maybe, but I'll get you out of here anyway. But something's not right and we have to fix that first. Did Andrew hurt you? What did h
Alpha King's Unmated Sister-in-law Chapter 125
The Troy pack house ran on routine. Everyone had been careful to keep their mouths shut about even potentially important information around Beth, which made sense since everyone knew she was a prisoner, not a mere guest. But what Andrew Troy had so carelessly forgotten was that she had already stayed here before her imprisonment.When he had entertained her as an actual guest in the span of time she had spent waiting for Daniel to arrive here, back before Andrew requested she go to Tahoe Village to help with the fake 'espionage' mission, she had already been housed here for quite a while. Long enough to learn several important details, and details that she couldn't imagine would have changed since then.Andrew's political wheeling and dealing were unpredictable, but his home life was anything but. That enormous cart of food she always saw wheeled in every morning at four in the dark of night came in every day without fail, and she was willing to stake her escape on the guess that that
Alpha King's Unmated Sister-in-law Chapter 124
They were still talking, but they had moved off the stone path and deeper into the shadows. They were on the other side of the stone half-wall, so close that it took another five steps this way, they would find Beth and she would be discovered. She placed a hand over her mouth and nose to stifle what little sound she might betray, but there was nothing else she could do. Her only choice was to wait and hope they didn't notice her, and as soon as they left, she could make a break for it.But to her chagrin, Andrew's voice became louder -- closer. Oh, Moon Goddess. They were now standing almost on top of her, just on the other side of the wall, and if they leaned over, they would see the top of her head no matter how she tried to squash herself against the stone. Was this it? Had she been too hasty?How could her luck be like this! If she had waited only one more night, Andrew Troy might not be walking the grounds. She could deal with avoiding a measly patrol; most of the time, walkabo
Alpha King's Unmated Sister-in-law Chapter 123
The shift change came every day at nine o' clock in the morning and nine o' clock at night. Morning escape was impossible, because even if she slipped past the changing guard, it would be daylight outside and everyone from here to the outlands would see her running across the estate's grounds. She had to make it a night getaway.The good news was with the frigid weather and the frequent sleet and rough snowfall, her tracks would be covered easily, and her scent hard to follow. She was used to traveling in harsh conditions from the life before, and hadn't she managed that journey to Pandemonium City and back? It had been grueling, but she had done it. And, she thought grimly, she had already conceived by then.Proof her child was already strong. Took after its father, and its mother, too. Beth smiled at the mirror, but it was razor-sharp and vindictive, not sweet.She had no more sweetness left for the enemy. She and her child would get out of here no matter what.***One week of obser
Alpha King's Unmated Sister-in-law Chapter 122
The days were short yet passed in slow misery. Trapped in the Troy pack manor on the third floor with guards posted everywhere to keep her from escaping, Beth was a canary imprisoned in a gilded cage, never allowed a moment alone even to bathe. Andrew Troy pretended it was to pamper her by assigning her female attendants to attend to her every need, but she knew better. Much better.He even had the gal to visit her as if she were just some guest being entertained in his home. How dare he have the fucking nerve? She was a prisoner, and yet when he knocked on her door and let himself in, he was all charming smiles and gentlemanly manners. Except how he never explicitly waited until she gave him permission to enter, but maybe that was because she flatly refused to give it. After five seconds of waiting, he came in, ready or not, and it made her want to punch him in the gut for it all the more.She was fed and well-taken care of, granted, like a captured exotic animal kept for private vie
