Beta Before An Alpha CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
I went straight to Gabriel’s office that same day and didn’t ask permission to enter so I could beat him into a pulp.He didn’t put up much of a fight. How could he? Despite having alpha blood, all he ever did was fuck around and complain. He was no alpha.He’s a coward.ONE YEAR AGO…Bloodlust swirled in my eyes as I barged my way into the pack house.I had purposely reversed onto his car before this, shattering the windshield of his beat-up Corolla then hopped out of my Jeep.“Gabriel!” I roared.Pack members turned wide-eyed to me, stopping whatever they were doing to make way.I kicked the door to his office. Splinters flew in the air just as he lifted his gaze to meet mine, filled with rage I could barely control.I launched myself at him, taking him aback as he held his hands up in defense.I grabbed him by the collar and punched him in his arrogant face. Then I yanked him over his desk.“You fucking coward!” I spat.“What the fuck, Zach!” He grumbled, spitting blood to the floo

Evvie’s POV:I’m going back.Pixie stared into my eyes and sighed.I saw Casey peek through the gap, curiosity building in her eyes. I exchanged glances with Pixie who she shook her head.“Going back where?” Casey asked, pulling the door further open and we looked at the only clueless human in our midst.“And who was that?” She asked, a shudder visibly snaking up her arms making her squeeze them in her grip as she stared into space. Her eyes shifting a shade darker as Barrak’s domineering frame cast upon her once again.“No one.” Pixie saved me from telling her the truth.Knowing Casey, she’d always had an interesting take on the world around her.You’d be surprised if I tell you she writes about werewolves. Romance, on top of that.Most humans believe we’re just some made up supernatural beings in lost myths. That we don’t exist. But some of them, like Casey, refused to believe it.Pixie and I would watch the twinkle in her eyes as she went on and on about werewolves, vampires, beast

Zachary’s POV:Excitement bubbled in my veins as I reversed my car at the parking lot near the border.Duncan could not stop pacing in my head, ready to claim what was rightfully his. Evvie. Our beautiful lost mate.The day she left the pack was the day I suddenly forgot how to breathe. It felt like my soul was ripped apart from me. A part I’ve been missing ever since.Five years.Those four years were filled with regrets and immeasurable guilt. But the last year, oh I’d made up for those past four years by bathing myself in my thoughts of her.And she’d reappear in most of my dreams, taking me back to the day before I left for training camp.It was just her and me back then. Snuggled in one another’s arms. I remember very clearly, the fire of passion burning in her eyes when she kissed me, pulling me in deep.I never should have left.Those words never failed to come across. Every day of my life since she disappeared. Every day I cursed myself for my stupidity. I’d let them trick me

Zachary’s POV:“Take me to the Alpha.” The words sounded more of a command.And one that stuck to me as my feet suddenly moved on their own accord.It was almost as if her command worked.But how is that possible?I moved to grab her with the intention of putting her in my truck when she immediately, stepped out of reach.I couldn’t help the pained look that’s now probably sealed into my eyes. Perhaps forever. So long as she looks at me with that deep-seated hatred in her eyes.The only time I’m going to get out of this habit is when she finally says she forgives me.After all, she knows just as much as I do that you only get one mate in this lifetime. If you’re lucky, the goddess will provide you with a second chance mate.But no one’s ever heard of receiving a second chance mate since decades ago. So to say, there’s a mere, one percent chance we’ll ever get another mate. It is the goddess that passes judgement on whether you deserve to be given one after rejecting the one she’s give

Evvie’s POV:This is a mistake.As soon as the car made it twenty feet past the damn border, the shivers running up and down my spine splayed across my skin.“Evvi—”Before he could finish, I whipped my head so fast and pinned him with my murderous glare. My aura slipped and leaked from the tip of my fingers to the strand of my hair, but I had no intention on suppressing my wrath underneath a cold stare.Something I learned to unlearn so long ago.“Vi.” He corrected, clearing his throat.I ceased with the murderous gaze and averted my eyes, not wanting to get lost in his for far too long.Or I will lose everything I’ve worked so hard to build all these years. And that includes me. Myself, the person I strived so hard to become.Vana kept to herself all this time, and I have been wondering what she was thinking all this while.If returning to this pack and meeting Duncan after all these years, took a toll on her. I could feel his wolf was trying to link with her. But she’s either too t

Evvie’s POV:The truth.He told me everything.How everything was apparently orchestrated by Gabriel and Brenda from the start. It turns out they were destined mates. A scoff escaped my lips. It’s not surprising that wannabe douchebag of an alpha was mated to that lying, conniving, pretentious bitch. They’re perfect together. It was Gabriel’s plan to blame the pregnancy on him. Hearing that, I wanted to laugh. Still terrified of his father, as always.He told me how it made sense he didn’t remember anything that night. He was drugged, and made a fool of by making him think he slept with her just because she was butt-naked when he woke up lying next to her in bed.I could very well see the way his hands trembled in anger as he recollected the day he found out the truth. It happened over a year ago, and eventually, he moved out. When he finished telling his story, I pulled my teeth over my lower lip, not knowing what to say. Neither opened their mouth to speak, much less bre

Logan's POVABOUT AN HOUR AGO"She called?" I asked as I stared out the window."Yes, Alpha." Ethan, my new Gamma and apparently my runaway luna's brother, answered. "She's finally coming back."A soft smile played on lips."I would very much like to see who this cupcake is in person." Carlos, my loyal beta and right-hand man, commented.I didn't respond but kept a stoic face, despite the headache induced by Tristan jumping up and down in my head.We were headed to the Winter Mist Pack. I had traveled back to my principal Pack, the Shadow Blood Pack, to retrieve some of my belongings and speak to the Alpha-in-charge.Once that was done, I couldn't wait to be back.I waited so long for this moment.Five years ago, I danced with a woman. Raven dark hair, stark silver eyes, and a curvy body I couldn’t forget. She's the whole package.At first, I felt an attraction to her. One I couldn't resist. It didn't feel so strong as to make me think she was my mate, but it was an attraction nonethe

Logan’s POV:STILL IN THE PAST…His eyes scanned me suspiciously. I continued walking, half-expecting him to lurch at me once he realizes I belonged to neither of the packs that gathered here.But he never did as I got back to my room without fail.I know I had no scent. It was the work of a witch that enabled me to enter packs with no ties to the Shadow Blood Pack.I have one mission.Infiltrate the pack, steal their information, then prepare my warriors for ambush.I know I play dirty, but I bet you wouldn’t call it that when you learn all the dirty shit that comes in and out of this pack.The Winter Mist Pack is at the top of my list of packs to ambush and conquer.My name is Logan Reed.I am the Alpha of the Shadow Blood Pack. We are especially known as notorious, ruthless, and vile wolves who move in the shadows before shedding the blood of our enemies. We attack through the darkness the night brought forth, and we always end up gaining the winning hand. Always.

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

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
