Beta Before An Alpha CHAPTER FOURTEEN
CHAPTER FOURTEENCasey’s POVI pull the curtain shut, blocking out the view of that building. My fingers tremble, still feeling the pull from it, as if it’s alive and breathing, calling out to me. I swallow hard, trying to clear my head.“Get a grip, Casey,” I whisper to myself. "This is not the time to lose it."I move to my luggage and grab the first thing I see. Tossing on a faded t-shirt and jeans, I dress quickly, my hands fumbling with the buttons. The voice from earlier…Kaleesa, still echoes in my mind, yet I could no longer hear her.“Other half,” she called herself. I snort softly.What does that even mean?A knock sounded on my door. “Casey? Is everything okay?” Judging from the soft, graceful voice, I knew instantly it was Evvie.“Yeah, I’m coming,” I reply, trying to sound less frantic than I feel. I take a deep breath, before I go to open the door.Pixie and Evvie are standing by my door. Their grins were wide and contagious as their eyes sparkled with excitement.“They’r

CHAPTER FIFTEENCasey’s POVThe man decides to step back, his chest heaving, but his eyes remain locked on Carlos, who chuckled deeply as if he hasn’t just faced a man who seem adamant to pummel him bloody.“He’s a traitor,” The man spits. “He deserves this.”Logan moves forward, giving the man a stern look which made all the other guards watching cower. “We need him alive, Xavier,” he snarled low in his ear. “For now, stand down.”I hear Xavier whimper, and though it amused me how such a tough, buffed-up body builder like him croaked out such a sound, I couldn’t focus on anything else other than him. His scent, swirling around me, invading all my senses without delay.And for a second, one frozen second, our eyes met. My breath hitched in my throat.Carlos lifts his head slowly. Despite everything, the blood, the bruises, his eyes are fierce and steady. His gaze drinking me the sight of me in, all but making my heart skip a beat. It felt as if the others’ presence slowly melted away

TRIGGER WARNING: This chapter involves physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. If you're easily triggered, please know you have been warned.Carlos' POVIt’s cold. Not the kind of cold that makes you shiver and causes goosebumps rise all over your body. It’s the kind of cold that cuts through your skin like a blade. I groan as I feel it inching deep into my already worn-out body. The heavy silver chain bound around my neck presses into my skin, burning through to the bone. It doesn’t matter how many times I have felt this pain. I have a high tolerance to it thanks to Xavier. However, right now, the pain somehow intensified when that woman stepped into my cell. Her small, pouty lips, and glassy amber eyes. Her hourglass body that, I had a feeling would fit perfectly against mine. My cock twitches as I try to recall her in those tight jeans. And suddenly it feels like she’s back here, in my cell. Her thick thighs and slim waist flash across my eyes as I imagine her sashay towards me, on

CHAPTER SEVENTEENCasey’s POVTears drizzled down my face and I blink them back. My hands were clenched into fists as I glare at my path.How could I have been so stupid? Did I actually think he’d give this a chance, that he’d give me a second thought after three years? Clearly not, as he looked at me with pure hatred in his eyes that made my heart twist painfully.I reach the packhouse and nearly slam the door right in Pixie and Evvie’s face behind me. They both leap to either of my sides, huffing and panting. I was half aware I was being chased, however, my mind was racing. I did not have the time to stop to cater the unspoken questions lighting up in their eyes.“Damn Casey, you’re fast” Evvie’s panted, gripping the edge of the door and closing it softly behind her.My mouth drops open slightly. I didn’t really notice. All I wanted was to get the hell away from there.“Casey, what happened back there?” Pixie questioned, raising her voice slightly. I look at her.I can’t form the wo

CHAPTER EIGHTEENCasey’s POVFrom the corner of my eye, I see Xavier getting back to his feet. I don’t have much time.Panic immediately claws at me, my breath quickening with every wasted second as I pull and tug.Glancing over at Carlos, I meet his deep violet eyes for a brief moment before a calloused hand wrapped around my throat, shoving me back against the wall making my grip on the chains loosen. I choke, struggling for air, my vision a blur. His grip tightens when I desperately hold on to the chains.His eyes gleamed viciously, canines slipping over his lip as he snarls at me.“Stay out of this, human,”“You will regret it.” He growls lowly into my ear.Fear grapples me for the first time in my life, but even as the air leaves my lungs, even as my vision blurs, I refuse to give in.My eyes flit to his pants dropping low down his knees for a second, making him chuckle.“Fancy the show?” then he smirked.My blood boiled, and I wanted to slap him. However, that would only give hi

CHAPTER NINETEENCarlos' POVThis day had been the most humiliating, degrading day of my entire life. Not only has my own mate saw me half-naked before a man like Xavier, all the upper ranks did, including Logan.The look of disgust on all of their faces drained the blood from my face in an instant. I was relieved when Logan told Casey to step back.I locked eyes with Casey for a split second, but I couldn't bear to with the humiliation surging through me at the moment. I just wanted her to leave me alone. I want them all to leave."Get him down," Logan orders."But Alpha, the chains--" One guard protested, but he was cut off almost immediately after he spoke."I said get him down. Now. Don't make me repeat myself." Eventually, one guard came forward to cut off the chains wrapped around me. I couldn't bear to make eye contact as I let him help me up until I was standing on my own two feet.“Get out,” I hear him say to his men. They all turn and leave.Logan shifts uncomfortably, his

CHAPTER TWENTYCasey’s POV“I had no idea we had a predator in our midst, gosh,” Evvie fumed after I told her everything that went down in that cell.Just thinking about it incited goosebumps to appear all over my skin, making me shiver. I keep feeling this… anger, this inexplicable urge to dig my nails into somebody, or anything, just to appease it.“On the bright side, Casey, you managed to save that man’s pride.” Pixie mused.“And soon, you will get him to talk.” Evvie assured me, and I toss her a smile, yet an unsure one.“I’m not so sure…” I say.The girls and I were seated on the sofa in the living room. There were other pack members here gathered aside from us, creating soft murmurs echoing in the air when the door was thrust open. Alpha Logan walked into the room, followed by several guards I saw from the prison cells, making my brow rise. Why and what are they doing here?I noticed the Alpha’s jaw was clenched. I wonder what was happening.Evvie perked up immediately. A smil

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONECasey’s POV“Absolutely not!” My dear supportive uncle, Danny, snarled menacingly, his eyes snapping to Carlos in an instant.“I will not allow my niece to go with him!” he snaps.Logan turned his gaze to Danny quite impassively, “This isn’t up for debate, Danny.”My eyes widened, mouth parting slightly as I watch the exchange between the Alpha and Danny. All eyes were on me. And at this moment, all I wanted was for the floor to open up and swallow me.Evvie slips her hand into mine, and I shot her a questioning look. I see her toss me a small smile, meaning she was actually up for this.“Are you out of your mind?” he roars, the low, gravelly sound bouncing off the walls in the Alpha’s office.The Alpha perched on the edge of his table, swinging his arms across his chest as he glowered over us.“She has a right to know what’s happening. And I trust her to keep you in line.”I bit my lip, feeling Carlos’ intense gaze burning into the side of my head. I didn’t know how

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

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

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

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
