Chapter 10 - Getting ready for the meeting…

I end up falling asleep while Thomas snacks on the popcorn he brought up for us to eat while we watched a movie on the giant TV hung on the wall opposite my new bed. We were up half the night just chatting and I think it is safe to say we are now friends and not just protector and protected. Thomas makes me feel normal, like I can once again be the girl I was before. He makes me forget all the bad stuff, the trauma, the torment, Ace and Maddie’s cruelties, and even Ace being my mate, even though he doesn’t know that yet, I will tell him, I just don’t know when I will be ready to admit that my mate is my tormentor. I feel like a person when I am with him and I already love him like a brother.
The next morning when I wake up, I don’t open my eyes right away. I listen to Thomas breathing d

Cassie - Thomas and I walked down the stairs together, Thomas chatting happily beside me, clearly trying to distract me. I guess he could sense the tension in me. "You will be fine Cassie, trust in our Luna, she only wants to help, and so does the Alpha, and you have me now. I'm not just a guard, I'm your friend and I won't let sh!t go bad." He says before we reach the ground floor. He speaks quietly so as not to be overheard and then, without waiting for my reply, he continues on down the stairs. When we get to the door of the office, we pause and Thomas knocks. "Come," calls a soft voice, the door is ajar and Thomas reaches out to push it open further for me. "Thank you", I said ge
Betrayed by the Beta Chapter 12 - Telling Thomas the truth.
Cassie -Shortly after the reassurance from Luna Lily that Thomas would still be protecting me, she escorted me back to the room I stayed in last night, Thankfully nobody was leaving me to walk the hallways alone.“I want you to stay here, this is your room now dear. Thomas will be up shortly with some food, his training will have ended by now and I know that boy loves to eat. I am going to talk to Sven, I need to tell him what you told me and then I will come back to you and we will discuss how you wish to go on from here. This is your room now, for as long as you wish it to be,” she sighs heavily and continues, “this should have been our heir’s room, but it was not meant to be I guess, at least now it will be put to use.” Then she turns away from me and walks back down the hall, the way we jus

Cassie -With my terror increasing by the nanosecond, I realise where we are. Luna Lily takes my hand and squeezes it gently, she gives me a reassuring smile as she walks through the door, pulling me along with her.For the first time in my life, I am in the Alphas office, this is not something I had ever anticipated, there are only 2 reasons I know of for anyone to be taken to the Alphas office, 1 you are an official on official business or 2 you are in trouble and have to discuss your misdeeds and punishment. As soon as I truly realised where I was, I began to panic, I couldn't breathe, my head was swimming, and my knees felt like they had melted like butter on fresh popcorn."Breathe Cassie, you're OK, I promise you are OK, just breathe honey" I hear Luna's voice as though thr
Betrayed by the Beta Chapter 14 - Someone else's diary.
Cassie -After reading the first couple of sentences, I have to stop, go back and reread it carefully. I am incredibly surprised by what I am seeing written on the page. I carefully close the book, Using my finger as a bookmark so as not to lose the page Alpha wants me to read from, so that I can look at the front cover and I see it is a relatively standard, plain black-leather covered book with no image or writing on the front, but when I decide to check the spine, which is also blank, I see it is well worn, which means it has been opened and closed many times in the past. I open the book again and flip back to the first page of the book deciding to read the inscription handwritten there in neat small letters; "This diary belongs to Jennifer Bennet, beginning 21st February 1975"I glance at Th
Betrayed by the Beta Chapter 15 - Preparation
Cassie -It has been a whole week since I read the diary entry written almost 60 years ago by Luna Jennifer. A solid week of being holed up in this room, that Luna Lily very kindly insisted I call my own, That means it has been 2 weeks since my birthday, 2 weeks where all I have done is sleep, eat, heal, and meet with the Luna and the Alpha or spend time with Thomas. For about the last week now, each morning at around 9 am, I am set upon with harsh cramps that take my breath away and for the last 2 days they usually return around midnight, waking me from my sleep and causing me to clutch my abdomen and whimper until the pain subsides. They last for around 15 minutes each time, then suddenly pass with no lingering effects whatsoever. I haven't said anything to Thomas, or to anyone else about them, as I don't want to worry them all. Thomas i

Cassie -It has now been 4 weeks since my birthday, a little over 3 weeks since that first meeting with Alpha Sven and Luna Lily. The cramps still hit me at the exact same time everyday, like clockwork and I still have not spoken to anyone about them. Today Thomas and I are meeting with Alpha Sven and Luna Lily again, so that we can discuss our plans and options regarding my rejection of Beta Ace. We have had to wait a couple of weeks as Alpha Sven was called away for an emergency meeting in another pack. Luna Lily decided to stay behind this time, knowing that it would only be 2 weeks he was gone for, and though she didn't say anything about it, I knew she stayed because of me, to help protect me from further harm. I didn't want to meet with Luna Lily before now, specifically about the rejection, as I felt it needed to be discussed with both of them together and this way would be ea
Betrayed by the Beta Chapter 17 - Painful Truths
Cassie -Thomas and I are so excited at the prospect of relocating that we pretend that between now and then, there will not be a severe event. We pretend the worst isn't coming and we make plans, we talk about the people we will be when we move, the friends we will make, the life we will lead. I talk about our ideal mate and how much we hope to find them. Basically, we act like excited siblings, off on an adventure.We talk for so long that Thomas actually falls asleep, and instead of waking him, I leave him to his rest. In the quiet that follows, I ponder my future, I'm so wrapped up in the fear of the unknown. It was easy while Thomas was awake to delude myself into thinking the coming months will be easy but deep down I knew the truth and in that time between Thomas drifting off and me falling asleep the dread was all co
Betrayed by the Beta Chapter 18 - Visit from an enemy
Cassie -After telling Luna and Dr Thorne about the cramps, which I now know Ace caused me, the pains stopped. I still haven't ventured from my room, nervous of seeing Ace or Maddie, who I imagine helped Ace with his 'needs', resulting in my pain. I don't know what happened. All I know is that the pain has stopped, not faded, but completely stopped. And I am not complaining. Thomas keeps encouraging me to leave the room, assuring me we will not see Ace. He seems to know something but is holding it back from me."Come on Cassie, he won't get near you, I swear it, I won't leave your side for a second, you will be completely safe begged I promise," he all but begged. And today, finally, I think I am ready to face the pack. Although I'm scared, I know Thomas will protect me, and I trust him fully.

Daisy - My darling brother was never one to covet what others had, but because he didn’t want to burden his best friend with 2 packs to run, not when he had only just found his mate after almost 8 years of longing for her. So, with him taking on the role of Alpha to a pack under such turmoil, I am now the unofficial Beta of Twin Lakes as, without Dave as Alpha and me as Beta the pack would be completely leaderless. Ace very quickly went underground, he like, literally vanished, he is in hiding, the bloody coward ran as soon as he felt the shift in power, according to some of the pack members. He escaped with Maddie who was the Delta's daughter and her father. From what we have learned, it seems her father began orchestrating her rise through the ranks a long time ago, he poisoned the Luna to be barren, he encouraged Maddie to be with Ace, as he would have been Alpha since the current Alpha was and would always be childless, and he helped to kill the Luna to weaken Alpha Sven and Go

Daisy - My twin brother is a freaking Alpha! I can't even believe it, an Alpha! In the span of just a few short weeks our lives have been completely transformed, turned upside down in every way imaginable and I'm pretty sure my brother's head is still spinning.

O.K, O.K, Let me slow down, rewind, breathe, let me take you back to that time a ‘few short weeks ago’ and I'll tell you everything and bring you up to speed.So…Our pack is… no wait, was, the Rival River Pack, Jack was our Alpha and he is still the Alpha of Rival River, my twin brother Dave, was the beta, Jason is the Gamma and Brian is the Delta, we all grew up together, we have always been and still are very close, almost like siblings, which, O.K. I mean Dave and are actual siblings but well, yeah, you get what I mean. Anyway, it only feels like it was a few weeks ago that I was on night patrol with Jason. I was moaning about something or another that Dave had done, I can't remember what h

Thank you for sticking with me, now to begin book 2...Following on from Betrayed by the Beta, can Alpha Dave and his twin sister Daisy work through the trouble of reorganizing a pack that has been mistreated for months all while helping their friends, Jack and Cassie, to capture a threat that could bring them all to their knees? Help Jason and Tara come to terms with a difficult past? and assist Brian as he tries to help Mark overcome his strong need to prove himself worthy, which could result in serious consequences?With Ace still at large with Maddie by his side, will the gang be able to put a stop to his plans before any permanent damage can be done??
Betrayed by the Beta Chapter 76 - To be Continued…..
Authors POV - Cassie and Jack talk over the concerns they have regarding Brian and Mark heading out on this mission now that they know what Mark is thinking, but with the leak being out it would be odd for Brian and Mark to not go on this so-called trip they had planned. They decide to send Dave a message and see if he is still awake so they can go over options together and within minutes of sending the message to Dave the phone in Jack’s office lets out a resounding ring. Cassie jumps at the sudden sound after the silence that had fallen between them while they waited.Jack reaches around Cassie, who is still perched on his knee, and picks up the phone, placing it on the desk and opting for the speaker option so the three could talk more comfortably.“What are you 2 love birds still doing up at this hour? And what could you possibly need me for? It hasn’t gone stale over there already has it?” They can hear the humour in Dave’s words but instead of joining the banter playfully Cass

Cassie -We talk a little more about what we think Jason should do to get Tara’s attention and to hold it when suddenly Jason perks up, “I’ve got it,” he says “I can do that, I need to talk to Jack, do you know where he is?”“He’s in his office, want me to come with you?”“Nah, I know exactly what to do, I’m going to move into the room next to hers, she won’t be able to avoid me then, and you know she has been since the moment she smelt me in your office, even when she didn’t know it was me, it’s not person to me, it’s personal to her mate and I’m going to show her that she can count on me.”I worry for a moment that this might backfire, but Jason seems so convinced it will work that I dare not argue with him, at least he is showing signs of life again and I can be on hand as a confidant whenever he needs one.“Ok,”
Betrayed by the Beta Chapter 74 - She doesn't want me
Jason -When someone knocked on my door I had this swelling sensation in my chest, I was so hopeful that it was Tara, that she had finally come to talk to me about whatever had her holding herself back from our bond. It has been an agonising 24 hours since we discovered our bond and so far I had spent a grand total of about 30 minutes with her. Was I a disappointment? Had I failed her in some way already? I had spent the last 23 and a half hours trying to distract myself, telling myself she will come around, she will come to me, we will be together. I haven’t slept, I haven’t been able to eat, I can barely bring myself to move from the sofa I managed to stumble to after she fled from my presence last night.Seeing Cassie standing behind my door was heartbreaking, I had managed to convince myself it was Tara. I love Cassie, we share that special bond t

Cassie -Daisy, Tara and I talked for another hour, Daisy told us everything she knew, which was pretty much everything Dave knew. Apparently though busy, the two of them sit together in private for a couple of hours each day trying to solve this conundrum.We then went to meet the guys and as we got to Jack's office, Brian and Mark were just leaving, they both bowed their heads to me even though I have told them it isn't necessary when others aren't around, then they scarpered off talking about whether they had a tent, which was odd.Knocking on the door I waited to be granted entry, I may be his mate and Luna but I believe everybody should be allowed the right to deny access to another should they deem it necessary.After being scolded by Jack for knocking and promising

Cassie -Tara looks relieved when we don’t push her for more information about her reaction to us mentioning her mate, I will be digging into that later, but for now, while Daisy is here I want to go through everything we know and see what we can think of for how to catch Ace.I know he isn’t done with me, he won’t want to let my escape go unpunished. I could hope that Maddie would convince him that I am not worth the effort, but with the way she has treated me in the past I imagine she wouldn’t mind getting another chance to torment me. Maybe her father can convince them both, maybe he will get them far enough away from all of us that they can make a new life for themselves and leave our packs alone. I know Ace was looking forward to the power of being an Alpha, maybe he can create his own pack, make himself Alpha and gather members over
Betrayed by the Beta Chapter 71 - What do we do now?
Jack -I quickly slide out of bed and head to the ensuite to wash myself and grab a warm cloth. When I return she has turned onto her side facing where I should be with an arm reaching out as though searching for me, a slight pout on her luscious lips. I make quick work of cleaning between her legs and I throw the cloth into the basket just inside the bathroom before sliding back into bed and wrapping her up in my arms. Her pout smoothes out as soon as our skin touches and she shuffles towards me resting her head on my chest, I begin to drift off to sleep with a smile on my face, thanking the moon goddess for this woman. My wolf whispers to me in a sleepy voice "perfect for us" and I agree with him wholeheartedly before finally succumbing to sleep and finding my love in my dreams waiting for me.When I wake up the next
