Beta Before An Alpha CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
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

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWOCasey’s POVI keep repeating what the Alpha said in my head. Twin souls… He said Carlos and I are twin souls, that our fates have been decided.Still, I don’t get it. I have never heard of it my entire life. I am an outsider in this world, how could I know what the hell that even means?Groaning, I toss and turn in my bed, dreading the time when I would eventually have to get up, take a shower, and face Carlos, my mate, once more.Who even decides this?I sigh, closing and opening my eyes every other second. Sighing for the nth time, I sit up on the bed, crossing my legs in front of me when a knock on the door has me snapping my eyes up.“Come in,”I wonder who’d come knocking on my door at this time of night?“Hey, kiddo,”I slowly felt my body relax when I see Danny walk in, closing the door behind him.“Danny,” I furrow my brows and shift in my seat.He spins around before walking towards the edge of my bed. He looks down at it before asking,“May I?”“Of course,

TWENTY-THREECarlos’ POV‘Was that really necessary?’ Vato growls at me as I turn my back on her and headed to the corridors, but I ignore him.‘Of course, it was. She has no idea what she’s getting into,’ I bark back, but my wolf wasn’t having any of it.‘If she insists on coming, I will reject her if that would keep her away from me,’ I say, my voice filled with promise.Vato growls at that, ‘She’s our mate. You reject her, you kill the bond. You kill our mate,’His words has me skidding to a stop in the middle of the hallway. I turn inwards.‘What the fuck did you just say?’ I feel my aura slipping off of me, I could barely suppress it.‘I have already rejected her once.’ I say to him.‘You saw it yourself. She is our twin soul. This has always been meant to be,’ My wolf says with finality to his voice, and I simply scoff.‘No. No, no, no. This is a mistake, I’m sure of it,’The goddess can’t possibly be stupid enough to bind someone like me, especially to a human? This has to be a

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOURCasey's' POV"I'm going to miss you, Casey," Evvie says teary-eyed before she hugs me."What the hell, you just got here, and now you're going to leave us again," Pixie sniffed, with Cole and Ethan beside her. Both offering her comfort and whispering sweet nothings into her ear.I felt a tiny bit awkward as I shuffled in my feet.While Pixie and Evvie's mates stood here gushing over them, mine was glaring daggers at me after I decided to show up in the pack courtyard.It felt as if I was burning underneath his penetrating gaze, but I'll endure it.Besides, it's utter disrespect to go back on my word which I said directly to an alpha. I have to stand by it."It's okay," I laugh, squeezing them both in a tight hug then releasing them. I give them a sad smile, "I'll be okay," I whisper."Promise me, " Evvie steps forward, taking my small hands into hers.My throat suddenly felt dry and I gulp."I promise," I say, despite the uncertainty settling in my stomach."It's t

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE.Casey's POV "Abso-fucking-lutely not!" Danny growls, rushing forward, his scowl seemingly permanent now. He yanks me behind him, shielding me from Carlos, as if blocking me from his view could break the pull between us. I tried to peer around Danny's broad shoulders, but he shifted each time, deliberately blocking my line of sight. The tension thickened, the air heavy with testosterone and dominance. My head throbbed, the overwhelming male energy pressing in from all sides. For a moment, everything was quiet, too quiet. The eyes of the other werewolves burned into me, adding weight to the already awkward situation. How this could get worse, I had no clue. "Fine," Carlos gritted out finally, his voice low and dangerous. I managed to peek over Danny’s shoulder just in time to see Carlos turn and stride towards a small group gathered nearby. But my eyes stayed on him, drawn to his powerful frame, his commanding presence. Whether it was the mate bond or so

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIXCasey's POVI stood awkwardly on the side, shifting in my feet as I watched them gather, ready to shift. They were all naked, waiting for one command. Danny, however, has already shifted by my side, not caring to wait unlike the others. His magnificent grey wolf lay proudly beside me, one huge paw crossed over the other. His eyes laser-focused on Carlos. I swear if looks could kill, he'd probably get burnt off with Danny's deadly glare.And the fact that he stood naked in the open makes my heart thunder in my chest. "Shift!" His voice boomed in the air with pure dominance and authority. My gaze trailed down his muscles that flexed in every move. Before I could stop myself, I looked down... there.God, it was huge. I mean, I've seen stuff online before, but nothing like this. His was thick and long, fairly a much better upgrade than the ones I have already seen. And the way he smirked at me when he caught me checking him out, tells me he damn knew it. Right after

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVENCasey’s POVThere were around the same number as us, maybe twenty-five, twenty-six? It doesn’t matter, though. There were a lot of them. They were growling and snapping their teeth at us, as if warning us not to go any further into their territory.I look back, petrified, wondering if we could even survive. The warriors moved to the front, the trackers positioned themselves at the back.Danny lowers himself to the ground, nudging me. I hop off, and go to hide behind the tallest bush I could find nearest to me.The rogues gathered quickly. One of them, a big brown, rugged wolf, stalked forward, and so did Carlos’. The two of them walk in slow deliberate circles, their eyes focused on each other as if they were having a silent conversation in their heads. The rogue’s eyes glistened, almost as if they knew each other.Growling lowly as they circled each other, the brown wolf suddenly stops. This made Carlos halt as well, but the next moment, one is already on top of

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHTCasey’s POVThe next thing I knew, it was all over. I peel my eyes open. My back was still pressed under an old oak tree, as I tried to look around my surroundings.I nearly gasped. It was a bloodbath. The soil looked as if it bathed in blood with the heavy amount of blood splattered on the ground. Carnage and more dead bodies scattered everywhere. Bile rises in my throat, my hand moving up to cover my mouth in an attempt to stop it, but I couldn’t.Lurching forward, I vomit, throwing up everything I ate for dinner and breakfast. It made me dizzy, yet still hyperaware of my surroundings and the fact that I am now standing in a werewolf graveyard.My breath leaves my lungs in short, rapid gasps. I feel like hyperventilating, the world around me spinning until it blurs and eventually, turns a thousand shades darker.“Casey!”I hear a voice, probably Danny’s. I’m not sure and I am unable to check if it is, anyway.Suddenly, I see the world covered in red. Blood spill

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
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
Beta Before An Alpha CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR
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
