Evvie’s POV:This is it. I’m going to tell him. I nod encouragingly to myself when my own thoughts sink in.I’m going to tell him…About this… That I’m pregnant.What is he gonna say?‘Why don’t you go in and find out?’ My wolf whispers. She shares my pain. She knows more than anyone the pain I had to go through that horrible night.But she’s right. It’s now or never.I knock on Logan’s office two times. The third time, he immediately answers, and the door opens to reveal the most handsome mate one could ask for.“Baby, why didn’t you just come in? You’re the luna now,” he emphasizes that word making me cringe.“Maybe it’s too early to call me that,” I mutter, and his brows furrow.“You are a luna, Evvie. Nobody can deny that,” he says. I don’t say anything as he steps back inside and I follow after him.“Sorry, my own beta isn’t here apparently,” he grumbled and stalked towards his table.“Where the hell is Cole anyway?” He groaned, clicking his tongue as he looked around as if Cole
Casey’s POV:The cold, damp air in the cells made me shiver. I had never imagined myself in a place like this, surrounded by stone walls and iron bars. I’m a writer, and these kinds of things I see before me should only exist at the back of my mind where my imagination comes alive.Just everything about this is so… surreal. I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to ward off the chill as I peered down the dimly lit corridor.Why did I come here?I ask myself that, but I knew the answer. Curiosity. The kind of curiosity that gnaws at you until you have no choice but to see for yourself. I had to see what kind of person would betray an alpha wolf, as they call him.“Who’s there?” a voice called out, rough and low, reverberating through the stone walls.I froze, and my breath hitches right in my throat.This is definitely not a good idea. Maybe I should turn around, maybe this isn’t worth a shot. Yes, I’ve seen the man and thought I’ve fallen in love with him at first sight, but for Evvi
THREE MONTHS LATERCasey’s POVThree months. It had been three long, grueling months since the war ended. Since Alpha Logan’s pack stood victorious, since the entire army of wild rogues were finally defeated. Evvie’s pack joined Logan’s troops, and they were happy to help. In these three months I was beginning to understand pack ways. I have spent hours and hours in the library studying the history of lycanthrope, their moon goddess Diana, as well as the thing about… mates.It’s also been three months since I first laid eyes on him, Carlos, apparently my so-called mate, in these very cells.I’ve tried to keep my distance, tried to ignore the strange pull I felt toward him. The mate bond, they called it. But how could I, a human, have a mate? And one who was betrayed them, locked away in the dirty cells of Alpha Logan’s prison.I wasn’t even supposed to be here, in this world of wolves and wars, where fate played cruel games with people’s lives. But here I was, standing in front of the
And that’s a wrap! Dear readers, I really hope you somehow loved the ride as much as I loved driving it to certain edges to the very end. I want to thank everyone so much for all the critiques and consistent support especially from Ava Wolf, Cheryl, and all readers who gave this book a shot. You’re all part of the reason why I continue to push through, despite the hurdles and complicated circumstances in life. Thank you…By the way, the last two bonus chapters are the beginning of another story coming up soon, which also means the same characters here would be present in the new work I will be releasing.So stay updated. I would also like you to check out my other books, such as Born to be My Luna, which is the first book I ever created. It’s very important to me, because it was my whole world that brought me out of misery during my darkest times.For the next few months, I will try switching to the YA/Contemporary romance genre next, exploring the story of one female and two males lea
Hello again dear readers! After discussing this with my editor, I have decided to resume Casey's story in this same book. However, there will still be a different project coming up after this is completed, so stay tuned! xoxo, Alora
THE BETA'S REDEMPTION - The Beta and His Human MateBy Alora Sterling(A continuation of Beta Before An Alpha)Carlos:I was Alpha Logan’s Beta before he had tossed me in these filthy cells only meant for the worst offenders or traitors lurking within his pack. Now, I’m one of them. Sad to say, but I don’t regret it. The only thing I regret, is not seeing her face one last time before she took off running from these same cells. Yet, maybe it’s for the best. I am not the perfect mate material. And I never will be. I have responsibilities and commitments I can never turn away from, not even for a mate.At least, this way, I’ll haze zero attachments to anyone in here. Especially not some weak, human girl who would only get in my way.Casey:I usually go by name Casey Montrell. But now, I went back to using my original name, Cassandra Adeliya Montrell. Three years ago, I remember going to a place deep into the woods with one of my best friends, Pixie. I can’t remember where, or why. It’s
CHAPTER TWOCasey's POV"We don't serve that here," I say pressing my lips into a line. My ass is taut behind me as I look around all six of them. They were intimidating-looking, and all six of them seemed to have their eyes stuck on me like a damn glue. Except for the nasty woman, of course."Then how about we go someplace you could be served?" A smirk tugs on his lips.I was about to say something to defend myself when a warm hand presses down on my shoulder."There a problem here, lads?" My manager Danny saunters over, and my face heats."Fuck off." One spits at him. Instead of cowering, Danny takes a step forward, widening and straightening his stance which, I admit, has made him more intimidating. "I think I know just what your problem is," Danny smiles. The kind of smile you don't usually come across with when it comes to Danny. One that makes your blood run cold."What is it, old fart? You gonna tell us?" The man with a buzzcut spits at the side, making Danny turn to him, dead
Casey’s POV“No!” I screamed at the top of my lungs, jolting myself awake on the bed.When I finally take in my surroundings, I blink.“Ugh…” Sitting up, I groan and rub my eyes.My heart pounds in my chest as I try to steady my breathing. I press a hand against my forehead, feeling the sweat on my skin, my hair clinging to my neck.Another nightmare…This time, however, I saw his full face.Aside from his glowing purple eyes he had a dark stubble, defined jaw and hard features that sort of make him look gruff.I know that face now. And those eyes, those impossible, haunting purple eyes… It’s him. The man from the cell. The man who keeps calling me... "Mate."I shake my head, trying to expel the remnants of the nightmare, but it lingers still in the back of my mind like a dark cloud over my head. I reach for my phone on the nightstand, the clock reading 3:23 AM. It’s the third night this week I’ve woken up to the same dream. The same man. The same cell.I toss the covers off and swing
