Beta Before An Alpha CHAPTER TEN
Evvie’s POV’There he stood, my mate. No, ever since he rejected me, he threw that title away. When he chose to lay with that woman who is now clinging to his arm like a damn leech, he threw that possibility away, too.Zachary stood at the center of the grand hall. He looked as handsome as ever in his white tailored suit. The woman in his arms glared at me and I could not resist the smirk that curled on my lips.My heart thundered in my chest but I knew there is no turning back. Our eyes locked, and I already knew by the tight-lipped frown on his lips, that he did not like what I was wearing. At least not in front of everybody.I smiled, taunting him and it seemed to catch him by surprise.His eyes roamed my body head to toe and I did not miss the moment when his eyes flickered black. I quickly averted my gaze, not liking where this is going. It is painfully clear that I am still attracted to him, and my wolf isn’t helping either, flashing me all the dirty things he could possibly do

Evvie’s POV:“Are you alone?” He rasped. I was taken aback by his pure black eyes, gazing deeply into mine.My jaw almost dropped. Shocked at how deep and husky his voice came out.“And so f*cking sexy.” My wolf purred.If it was possible to reach inwardly and slap my wolf out cold, I would. But I have to admit. She was right.Without saying a word, I gave him a nod.A small, sexy smile tugged at his lips and he adjusted his tie.“Good.”I wasn’t sure what he meant, but my wolf was definitely enjoying the sight of this Greek God who towered over me like a damn wall.Strangely, there’s something about him that intrigued me. I just couldn’t point out what. Especially the way he made me feel under his burning gaze.“Would you like to dance?” The words fell from his lips smoothly. Any girl would probably swoon at his feet if he asked her like this. He held out his hand gracefully, for a man who stood a whopping six feet five.My heart thumped like a stampede in my chest. I was not sure wha

Evvie’s POV:She gasped and broke down in tears. I scoffed.People who had heard her extra dramatic gasp turned their heads in our direction. And just like she obviously wanted, a crowd began to form all around us, highlighting me and this shameless woman across the bar.“Look at her, bullying poor Brenda.” I hear them murmur. “Is she that heartless? She’s pregnant.” One grumbled. And my hands clenched into fists.Does she not think I am painfully aware of that?She had slapped me the deal with her pregnancy the day Zachary came back.Yeah, I f*cking know she’s f*cking pregnant. With my mate’s child.But she also knew exactly who she was dealing with when she came to me to flaunt how she snatched my mate before my eyes.The whispering continued to echo in the air as several people passed judgements against me. Some, however, showed nothing but sympathy in their eyes, including Pixie, who now must have realized the truth.Glancing around, I noticed most of the crowd hailed from the Bla

Evvie’s POV:“I’m coming with you.” Our heads snapped towards the door and saw Pixie step into the room.I felt my brows furrow and I rose from the sofa. Goddess knows what giant tornado I went through with my make-up smeared all over my face as I looked at her. She was glowing and insanely beautiful. I on the other hand looked like a dead raccoon. The tears showed no mercy and went above and beyond to make me look even more miserable.Ethan stood abruptly. His eyes wide as he openly gawked at her. His eyes darkening as his wolf threatened to emerge.I wasn’t surprised. After all, Pixie is the most attractive woman ever. She’s lucky I’m not gay, because if I were, I wouldn’t just stand here and let any other man drool at the sight of her. And maybe I wouldn’t have fallen for Zachary, and none of this would’ve happened in the first place.Who am I kidding?I’m the unlucky one.Pixie walked closer. This is where I could have sworn I heard my brother’s heartbeat increase at marathon spee

Evvie’s POV:“So, what do you think?” Pixie tossed a smirk at me. Leaning against a wall nearby, I turned my head to look at her. She was holding two glasses of drink. One was color blue, and my eyes squinted at it.“Tiring.” I answered.She tsked, rolling her eyes. “Oh come on, admit it.”I raised a brow.She pointed her petite frame towards me. Hands on her hips.I let out a sigh and crossed my arms against my chest.“Fine, fine.” I drew in a breath. “It felt pretty good.” I giggled.She curled her lips into a smile.“You’re damn right.” And then she smirked.“Here, drink this.” She handed me the glass with blue liquid.I shrugged and sipped from the glass. After about an hour of dancing and rocking my hips to the beat, my body dripped with sweat. My throat clawed at me, begging for something smooth and cold to run down my system.Once my tongue grazed the ice cold, a sigh left my lips. “Feeling better?” Pixie asked, tilting her head to me.“I think so. What is this?” I queried, sw

Evvie’s POV:“Evvie!” It was Pixie. “Where on earth are you?”The sound of her panicked voice jolted me awake.Her question snapped me back to my reality.To be honest, I had no idea where.Glancing around, it didn’t take me long to realize I was in a hotel.I squinted. The room was all red. Furniture, door frames, the wallpaper and even this bed was colored red.Immediately, I stifled a gasp as realization draped over me like stepping into cold shower in the middle of the night.I was in Zachary’s fucking hotel! The Beta family owned a third of our pack’s businesses which unfortunately includes this one.“Silvercrown Hotel.” I whispered when my eyes raised to look at the sign hanging on the wall across me.“You’re at a hotel?” Pixie’s voice came out loud you’d think she was screaming.Then again, maybe she was.“What hotel?” I let out a nervous laugh. “I’m on my way.” I told her, not wanting her to worry. Or see me in this disheveled state.We were supposed to go back together. Before

Evvie’s POV:The minute I walked into the house, I tiptoed inside and closed the door behind me with a soft click.My legs were shaking, and I gritted my teeth.Does the first time need to be this awful?I peered into the kitchen as the doorway led to the stairs going to my room.Mom and dad were busy cooking something up while flirting with each other. Dad had his arms wrapped around mom while she was cutting up some onions. He leaned in and kissed her neck, making mom blush and slap his shoulder.I rolled my eyes. Although there was nothing new, I felt irritated. Growing up, I would watch them both act so lovey-dovey towards one another, but I never complained.I never thought I would.I always dreamed and wanted the life mom shared with dad.I dreamed of Zachary and I in the exact same position. Cooking together while we flirted, and our kids playing in the living room. But now all I see is Zachary living that life with Brenda. And their unborn child.I shook my head before more of

Evvie’s POV:FIVE YEARS LATER“Move, dickhead!” I spat at the guy who won’t get out of my sight. I was headed to the bar when he and his goons shoved me towards the back.It’s dark. This guy had cornered me so I was pushed against the wall. There were others with him, too. They think I couldn’t see them. But I was bidding my time.The man towered over me. He’s about 6’7 with a face tattoo and golden chains around his neck. He was also, a human. All of them were.“Ohh, she’s feisty.” He chuckled into my neck.I crossed my arms against my bulging breasts, rolling my eyes when his gaze fell to look at them.I wore a cropped leather jacket and a white square tank top underneath. Nothing sort of revealing.I guessed the problem was my breasts. Then again it always have been.“Hey.” I clicked my tongue. “Eyes up here, moron.”He snapped his head back up and glared at me.“Keep calling me names and you’ll be sorry, feisty girl.” And then a grin spread on his face. “I’ll make sure of it when

E P I L O G U E .Casey's POVI fell for it. It's his fault, with those sparkling puppy eyes and cute little stance, I have turned completely vulnerable.But I didn't fall for it because I badly wanted him to apologize but because he looked serious. Like he really wanted to show me something. The reason why he went missing for hours. I tapped my heel, raising an eyebrow at his human state. I look around. There was no one here. Why are we here?“Well? What is it?” I asked, looking at him.He smiled, making me groan. Him and his damn smile makes me both feeling nauseous and weak in the knees.“I want you to meet someone,” he finally said.I furrowed my eyebrows. Meet someone?He pulled my hand, turning me around to face a…“A pile of rocks?” My eyebrow raised higher, staring at him weirdly.He chuckled and shook his head.“This is my dad’s grave. I buried him here.”Shocked, I turn to him with eyes as wide as bowling balls.“You… your dad? Oh Carlos, I’m so sorry.” For the second tim
Beta Before An Alpha CHAPTER FIFTY-ONE
Casey's POVKnock. Knock.I looked towards the door, my lips pressing into a thin line."Come in!" The door pushed open.As always, Evvie and Pixie walked inside the room. Their eyes widened, bigger than bowling balls, and their jaws dropped, gaping at me.I raised an eyebrow. "What? Is it bad?" I asked, casting a worried look to my dress as I smoothed it down."Are you kidding?" Pixie was the first to speak, as Evvie was still in a trance."You look amazing!" She beamed.I smiled."Absolutely gorgeous." Evvie nodded in agreement, snapping out of her trance.A wide grin spread on my face. "Thank you," I sighed, turning back to the mirror. "Is something wrong?" Pixie steps forward, a worried look on her face.For the nth time, I let out a sigh. "What if...this was a mistake? What if I'm not ready for this? What i--" "You stop that right now, my lady." Pixie marched forward, taking my wrists and gripping them firmly. "You are not going to your wedding with all those ridiculous though
Beta Before An Alpha CHAPTER FIFTY
Casey's POVThe Alpha led the way, and I followed closely behind him. Right now, we're back at the dungeons. The cells. How the hell did he get himself locked up back in here? He agreed to do the mission in exchange for freedom. I sighed."Just so you know, I didn't want to do this." The Alpha muttered.I nodded, but didn't speak."I had no choice. He was getting out of control." "But to put him back in that cell?" I snapped. I couldn't close my damn mouth to save my life. The Alpha stopped in his tracks, twirling on his heel to face me. The look in his eyes now is deadly."Listen, girl. This is also out of my control. I can't control him.""Why?"His eyes narrowed at me."You're the alpha." I added.He squinted at me before he sighed. He shook his head. "Not everything is as simple as you think." I tilted my head. I wondered what he meant by that when a guard rushed over to us."Alpha, he's losing it!" The man was panting, his eyes wide."Sedate him." I snapped my eyes to the Al
Beta Before An Alpha CHAPTER FORTY-NINE
CHAPTER FORTY-NINECasey's POV"Hey, hey, sshhhh..." I could hear someone shushing me. I try to move. Try to get up. But my body was killing me. "Argh..." I groan, peeling my eyes open. It was Nita, staring at me right in the face.I knit my brows. "What are you doing here? I mean, what am I doing here?""It's okay. You're safe now." What is she talking about? I winced when a searing pain swept right through me as I tried to move. My mind was in a haze. Blinking, I take in my surroundings. I'm in a white room. Everything was white and the air smelt strongy of disinfectant, alcohol, and... blood?Then it snapped. The witch. Sorcerer or whatever. Lucas. Rogues. The kids. My breath hitched in my throat.Carlos. Oh, my god."Carlos!" I vaguely remember seeing his wolf breathing hard on the ground. Blood oozing off his stomach. I remember him taking the hit, when Lucas tried to pierce me with his magical glowing weapon. And then I remember... a whimper. His wolf, whimpering as he laye
Beta Before An Alpha CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT
CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHTBrother...I didn't hear it wrong, did I? Yet, when his gaze flicked to me I saw the striking resemblance between them. There is no mistaking it.He's the little brother Carlos told me about. But I thought he said he died. Clearly, that was not the case at all.He's here, alive. And it's either he happens to be here or he is one of the rogues. And by the looks of it, he is one of them.Carlos stared at him all the time, and his hands were shaking. I could hear his heartbeat racing. The way he swallowed when he saw him for the first time. Some of the trackers behind me growled, but Carlos held up his hand in warning. Not to take action. That he had this under control.'Get the children to safety. I will deal with this.' He sent the message through the group link. All of us just froze.'Now!' The warning in his voice has become a real threat. It had everyone jolting up to go to move the children to safety. I, however, stayed in my spot unmoving.Something's not righ
Beta Before An Alpha CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN
CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN Carlos’ POV Is it him? Is it really him? I can’t believe it. Even Vato became dead silent. Is it really our little brother? But that’s impossible. He died, years ago. I saw it happen with my own eyes. I stare gobsmacked at the man. His eyes were coral blue, something he’d gotten from our mother. His hair, jet black slicked back just like mine. He even has that same birthmark I remember him having as a child. I tried moving my lips, but they’re frozen as ice. “Lucas?” He smiled at Casey, but something about his expression felt different. Then he whips his gaze to me. Suddenly, he drops it. His eyes darkened, and I felt my blood run cold. TWENTY YEARS AGO… Blood. The air around me is filled with blood. Most belonging to my Dad, who had dropped dead on the ground before me. “Hmm,” I hear a rumbling sound. As I turn my head slowly, I realize I needed to look up to clash eyes with the figure I saw kill my Dad. My eyes raised, and my breath hit
Beta Before An Alpha CHAPTER FORTY-SIX
CHAPTER FORTY-SIX Casey’s POVA strong roar ripped from my chest. It was Kaleesa. Pure rage surged through my veins, consuming every rational thought I had. The world blurred, the trees, the warehouse, everything fading as my vision tunneled in on the rogue.I launched forward, claws out, fangs bared. I could hear Carlos yelling my name behind me, but it was drowned out by the blood pounding in my ears. His warning had come too late. Rage had taken over, and I had no plans to stop.I barely felt the ground beneath me as I sprinted toward the rogue who’d kicked the child. He never even saw me coming. My claws tore through his back before he could react, a satisfying crunch of bone under my hands. He crumpled to the floor, and the child scrambled away, eyes wide with terror. The scent of blood filled my nostrils, but it wasn’t enough. I wanted more.Another rogue lunged at me from the side. I spun, grabbing him mid-air, slamming him into the ground with enough force to crack the concre

CHAPTER FORTY-FIVECasey’s POVLast night was horrific. I didn’t sleep at all. I don’t know what has gotten into me last night, but I now know I have gone too far.When Carlos stepped back, shoving me away in the process, shame washed over me like a bucket of ice cold water.He looked at me as if I had grown two heads, all because I tried to kiss him, which I now know was a mistake. I thought he wanted to. It turns out I thought wrong.I went too far, and he was not having it. He didn’t want me. He made that crystal clear from the very beginning, but still, I insisted. I have never felt so embarrassed in my entire life.It’s the third time he rejected me. The third time.How could I have been so stupid?I should have accepted his rejection, if I only knew it would be this painful the third time.Tears rolled down my cheeks as I turned around and ran off. I could hear him calling after me, but I never looked back.Danny tried to get it out of me a thousand times this morning. Each time

CHAPTER FORTY-FOURCasey’s POV“What?” the question falls out of my lips before I could even stop it.Carlos’ eyes remain trained on me, neither of us willing to look away.He lets out a soft chuckle that makes my heart melt. “To be honest, I really don’t know either,”He leans back, shifting all his weight onto his hands as he plants them on the cold ground.Then he turns his head and looks at me in the eye with those damned, beautiful violet eyes. “There’s something about you, something I didn’t want to acknowledge.”My brow raised at him, “And what is that?”He smiled. That goddamn dazzling, devious smile that has me gawking at him in awe.“Sorry, but it’s my little secret, since, I gave you my only one,” he said, and winked at me.Heat immediately rushed to my face, and I feel my chest flush, making me want to cover myself tighter if only I didn’t feel so hot.“But hey, looks like I’m not the only one,” he said, his tone turning serious.I looked up at him and narrowed my eyes.Wh
