And that’s a wrap! Dear readers, I really hope you somehow loved the ride as much as I loved driving it to certain edges to the very end. I want to thank everyone so much for all the critiques and consistent support especially from Ava Wolf, Cheryl, and all readers who gave this book a shot. You’re all part of the reason why I continue to push through, despite the hurdles and complicated circumstances in life. Thank you…
By the way, the last two bonus chapters are the beginning of another story coming up soon, which also means the same characters here would be present in the new work I will be releasing.
So stay updated. I would also like you to check out my other books, such as Born to be My Luna, which is the first book I ever created. It’s very important to me, because it was my whole world that brought me out of misery during my darkest times.
For the next few months, I will try switching to the YA/Contemporary romance genre next, exploring the story of one female and two males leads, something kind of like Pixie and her two mates.
That said, check them out real soon, and please, don’t forget to leave your reviews. Thank you so much!
xoxo,
Alora
Hello again dear readers! After discussing this with my editor, I have decided to resume Casey's story in this same book. However, there will still be a different project coming up after this is completed, so stay tuned! xoxo, Alora
THE BETA'S REDEMPTION - The Beta and His Human MateBy Alora Sterling(A continuation of Beta Before An Alpha)Carlos:I was Alpha Logan’s Beta before he had tossed me in these filthy cells only meant for the worst offenders or traitors lurking within his pack. Now, I’m one of them. Sad to say, but I don’t regret it. The only thing I regret, is not seeing her face one last time before she took off running from these same cells. Yet, maybe it’s for the best. I am not the perfect mate material. And I never will be. I have responsibilities and commitments I can never turn away from, not even for a mate.At least, this way, I’ll haze zero attachments to anyone in here. Especially not some weak, human girl who would only get in my way.Casey:I usually go by name Casey Montrell. But now, I went back to using my original name, Cassandra Adeliya Montrell. Three years ago, I remember going to a place deep into the woods with one of my best friends, Pixie. I can’t remember where, or why. It’s
CHAPTER TWOCasey's POV"We don't serve that here," I say pressing my lips into a line. My ass is taut behind me as I look around all six of them. They were intimidating-looking, and all six of them seemed to have their eyes stuck on me like a damn glue. Except for the nasty woman, of course."Then how about we go someplace you could be served?" A smirk tugs on his lips.I was about to say something to defend myself when a warm hand presses down on my shoulder."There a problem here, lads?" My manager Danny saunters over, and my face heats."Fuck off." One spits at him. Instead of cowering, Danny takes a step forward, widening and straightening his stance which, I admit, has made him more intimidating. "I think I know just what your problem is," Danny smiles. The kind of smile you don't usually come across with when it comes to Danny. One that makes your blood run cold."What is it, old fart? You gonna tell us?" The man with a buzzcut spits at the side, making Danny turn to him, dead
Casey’s POV“No!” I screamed at the top of my lungs, jolting myself awake on the bed.When I finally take in my surroundings, I blink.“Ugh…” Sitting up, I groan and rub my eyes.My heart pounds in my chest as I try to steady my breathing. I press a hand against my forehead, feeling the sweat on my skin, my hair clinging to my neck.Another nightmare…This time, however, I saw his full face.Aside from his glowing purple eyes he had a dark stubble, defined jaw and hard features that sort of make him look gruff.I know that face now. And those eyes, those impossible, haunting purple eyes… It’s him. The man from the cell. The man who keeps calling me... "Mate."I shake my head, trying to expel the remnants of the nightmare, but it lingers still in the back of my mind like a dark cloud over my head. I reach for my phone on the nightstand, the clock reading 3:23 AM. It’s the third night this week I’ve woken up to the same dream. The same man. The same cell.I toss the covers off and swing
CHAPTER FOURCasey’s POV:I bite my lip, feeling rather interrogated under his scrutinizing gaze.“I… I’ve been dreaming. There’s this man with violet eyes. Every night, Danny. And he calls me that. That I’m his mate.”I watch as his face darkens, and he steps closer. “Casey, you need to be careful. If you’re seeing him in your dreams, it means he’s trying to reach you. That’s no ordinary man you’re dreaming about.”“What do you mean?” I whisper, my heart racing at the warning in his words. “Who is he?”Danny takes a deep breath, his jaw tightening. “I don’t know who exactly, but if his eyes are violet… then he’s not from around here. Not from any pack I know of. And if he’s calling you his mate…” He trails off, looking around as if he’s afraid someone will come in and accidentally hears us.He said he knows packs. What does that mean? He turns to me, and the look on his face tells me he’s debating whether to say more.“What, Danny?” I push, feeling rather frustrated and now, scared.
Casey’s POV“You, Casey, are part-werewolf,”Those words reverberated through the room before they finally sink in, making me blink.“Huh?”My eyes dart to Danny, my uncle, who sighs and runs his hands down his face.“You’re not getting this, are you?”I shake my head. Clearly not. Does he understand the look on my face right now? He’s telling me I’m part-werewolf, which makes absolutely no sense because werewolves don’t exist. They’re nothing but fantasies… right?Danny strides toward me, a predatory look in his gaze and I squeeze my eyes shut thinking I have done it this time. Danny always yelled at me when I accidentally break a plate or two, and he looked so terrifying goosebumps would rise across my skin.Oh god, is he going to hurt me?“Open your eyes, kid,”I suck in a deep breath as my eyes snap wide open. A voice! A voice just flitted through my head. A voice that is not mine. How on earth is that possible?As my head pounded for answers and questions filling my mind at the s
Casey’s POV:It hurts. Why does it hurt? It makes no sense at all, and yet the pain that suddenly ripped through me feels so real.I collapse on the bed, my entire body shaking.“What is happening to her?” From the corner of my eye, I see Danny move quickly to my side. A panicked look in his eyes as he stared at me, not knowing what to do.I close my eyes shut as another scream tore out of me. My heart skyrockets in my chest and my body convulses. I seem to have no control.“She’s in shock, move aside,”“Casey, look at me,”“Open your eyes, Casey,”Mixed voices reach my ears but I am unable to focus on anything else other than the insufferable pain eating at me from the inside.I have no clue what is happening, why this is happening, but I’m sure it has a lot to do with the name Pixie just mentioned.Why?Why does my body react this way to that name?Who the hell is he?The questions grew louder in my head just as the same pair of glowing violet eyes that’s been haunting me in my drea
CHAPTER SEVENCasey’s POV“What is going on?” I ask Danny, who doesn’t answer me after the millionth time.“Danny,” I call, but he keeps walking. I follow behind his steps, almost stumbling down the flight of stairs as he exited the room, leading all the way down the dirty kitchen.He walked over the door in the diner, reaching for the handles and slamming the doors shut right in a customer’s face.“Danny!”With a growl, he spins to me. “He rejected you!” I gasped, freezing instantly in my spot.“Wh-What do you mean?” I stuttered.His chest was heaving and his eyes, oddly, were black. It reminded me of his wolf.“He rejected you, and if he did, it’s only a matter of time,”“You’re not making any sense, Danny,”“You’ll understand when you see him, now go pack your shit or I’ll do it for you,”“No, make me understand. Please, Danny… I need to know,” I say, looking at him.Danny sighs, running a hand down his face before turning to me. His one hand rested on my shoulder, squeezing it.“W
