CHAPTER THIRTY-FOURCasey’s POV“But if he’s aopted, then why…” my voice trailed off.“Well, he is older than Alpha Logan, and pack law states that the older sibling is rightful heir to the pack,”“But, he’s not the alpha…” I furrowed.“Bingo,” Nita practically exclaimed, before she stopped and purposely clasped a hand over her mouth.“Oops, I said too much, didn’t I?” She whispered and I just looked at her.Then suddenly, her eyes glazed over, which I now know mean she has opened up her mind-link.“That’s our cue, we better get going,” Nita muttered, hauling me to my feet while I was still buried deep in thought.“Nita,”Nita’s gasp hurled me out of my mind, her grip on my hand stiffens, as I raised my hand to meet Carlos’ glowing violet eyes. My heart thumped faster looking into those beautiful pair of eyes. Yet I still couldn’t believe he was a rogue.“This is not the time for you to gossip. Head back and gather with the others.” He clearly instructed. Nita swallowed, about to tug

CHAPTER THIRTY-SIXCasey’s POVSuddenly, he lets go, and I almost fall on my ass but gratefully, my back bumped against the wall, preventing me from embarrassing myself any further.“My name’s Theorem, what’s yours?” then he flashed me a smile that could have earned him extra points if he actually wanted to hit on girls.But surely, he isn’t hitting on me, is he?Giving my head a mental shake, I cleared my throat to answer, “I’m Cassandra, but I go by Casey,”His eyes flashed for one brief moment before tossing me yet another piercing smile.“Nice to officially meet you, Casey. I’ve been wanting to introduce since the first time I laid eyes on you,” he said, tilting his head to the side, watching me with a curious gaze in his eyes. It was starting to make me feel uncomfortable.“Yeah, I’m Carlos’ mate, by the way,” I admitted, not sure why I blurted it out, but for the moment, it felt necessary.He smirked, “We all know that,”I let out the breath I’ve been holding since he arrived.“

CHAPTER THIRTY-SIXCasey’s POVWhat has gotten into him? Oh you’ve got to be kidding me.“I’m not riding with him,” I say, but Danny gives me a firm look that told me I would be given absolutely no choice.“You are, and you will. Theorem here is one of the best trackers other than that…” I shot a look at Danny, causing him to hesitate on what he was going to say.“Anyway, I think the two of you could get along well together,” Danny beams, nudging me towards Theorem who winks at me with a sly smile plastered on his face.“Danny, I am not here to find a mate. I have one already, and you are not here to play matchmaker for me,” I linked Danny, who replies with a disapproving look on his face.“You mean cooking that delicious soup to grab his attention is not part of why you’re here?” Danny raised a brow at me, and I glared at him for saying that out loud, which had Theorem perking up in interest. “I know what you’ve been trying to do, Casey.” He adds, “I am very disappointed in you,”The

CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVENCasey’s POVWhat on earth was he thinking? Bargaining off his life just like that, is he insane?My uncle is a no-joke serious type of man, and I’m quite sure he will stick to his word even if it meant life or death.“Casey,” The sound of my name being voiced by none other than him had my mind trapped in a loop, spinning in circles.“Huh?” I turn slightly, still with my eyes shut as I tried to navigate my way around here.“You can open your eyes now, Casey.” He linked me. My arms are stretched out as I tried to feel around my surroundings. Still, I refuse to open my eyes.He might still be naked. And I don’t think I can handle seeing him like that without passing out, at least once.“No,” It was all I could afford to croak out.“It’s safe. You won’t fall, and I won’t drop you.” He assured me, but I wasn’t all that convinced.“How would you know? You run like you’re the Flash,” I mumbled.“Who?” he asked, I could hear the confusion in his voice, making me groan.“N

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHTCasey’s POVIt was not long after I felt that twinge of pain that quickly intensified to an unbearable point that I felt my ass hit the ground. Hard. I know it was because it created a loud thud that made Carlos’ wolf along with the others skid to a stop. Turning their gazes towards me, they all freeze to see me rolling on the ground before I reach an inertia, and I lay limp on the cold ground.I curled up into a ball, having no idea why I suddenly feel so freezing cold. It’s strange, and my senses blocked out my surroundings, yet I was still conscious of what was happening all around me.Wrapping my arms around myself, I could feel the sound of footsteps drawing near me. It made me wonder just how many of them shifted into their human forms because of this.“Casey?” Danny’s voice echoed in my head, I could sense his panic, fear, and anxiety all mushed up into one.Huh? Strange… Why do I feel the air shift even when someone nearby makes the slightest movement? I c

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINECasey’s POV“Casey!”“Casey!”I could hear the voices of Danny and Carlos’ fade away slowly, replaced by that strong yet feminine voice I have been hearing for days.‘My name is Kaleesa, that is all I can tell you,’ the voice echoed in the darkness within my mind.‘Will you at least show yourself?’There was silence, for a moment, before Kaleesa’s voice floated through the air around me.‘No,’ she answered.‘Why, and what is this place?’ I ask looking around my surroundings. It’s pitch-black. Looking down, it seems as if I am stepping on air.‘Because you are not ready,’ she says, and I cock a brow despite facing no one in this shallow darkness.‘You are here, deep in the subconscious of your mind, Cassandra,’What she said caught me right off guard.‘You know my real name?’ I never even told her that, or anything for the matter, thinking she was probably a figment of my imagination I have conjured due to stress.‘Of course, I have known you since you were little,’

CHAPTER FORTYCasey’s POVGoosebumps spread across my skin and I felt cold as my eyelids fluttered open. I couldn’t see anything through the dark. Glancing around I could tell I was in a cave. Not the cave I had slept in the night before. It was a different one.Then I tried to remember the past events before I got here. How the hell did I even got in here? All I remember was the last moments before I passed out…Wait. I passed out. I don’t remember anything that happened after that.“Hm, glad you’re finally awake,” A voice strips me from my thought process. My eyes flick to see a shadow, tall and foreboding, inches away from me.“Who are you?” The question blurts out of my mouth as a sick, unsettling feeling eased into my stomach,The man stepped forward, right under the moonlight that makes it clear to me who it was.“Theorem?” I felt my brows pinch at the sight of him.“What are you doing—” He didn’t let me finish. The next second, he was above me, hovering all over me with his bre

CHAPTER FORTY-ONECarlos’ POVMy wolf hadn’t stopped pacing since afternoon. Something was wrong. He kept telling me, but I would not believe him.But as soon as I heard that scream pierce the night air, I knew he was right.“What the fuck was that?” Danny curses when I passed him. I ignore him, swishing past him and following where my feet wanted me to go.“What are you doing? Why are you heading over to Casey’s cave?” Danny huffs angrily, I could hear him falling into step behind me.I don’t answer and instead continue trudging down the path. Danny huffs behind me.“What the fuck is that?” I hear Danny mutter, more to himself than me.My brows furrowed, and I squint.There’s a half-naked man whose body was shaking from head to toe near the entrance. His eyes widen like saucers before something jumps at him. A second later he drops on his knees. The life in his eyes fade out slowly while he was trying to stop the blood from flowing. But I bet the killer and himself knew it was too la

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

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

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
