Chapter 41 - Second Chances
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Cassie -
My heart is pounding, my skin feels tight, after pulling in that breath I can't seem to get another one. The smell of fresh baked cookies and cinnamon fills me to the brim. MATE, my second chance mate is in that room. Fear and wonder battle each other to overpower me. Fear wins out as a giant of a man appears before me, all huge muscles and dark looks.
Hair black as midnight falls across his forehead and thick black eyebrows cast a shadow over his eyes. But even with the shadow there is no mistaking their color, cerulean blue, the color so bright they seem to glow. He has a 5 o'clock shadow on his jaw, his nose is straight and his lips are bowed perfectly. He towers over my small frame and his growls vibrate through me and settle as a throbbing in my core. This sensation is so new to me I don't recognise it immediat

Cassie -My very first kiss, and it nearly blew my mind. I sat there straddling my mate's lap trying to catch my breath and simultaneously wishing he would do it again. Instead, the snide side of me, the side that sounds an awful lot like Maddie, tells me this is a joke, it can't work between us, the moon goddess is having fun with my life rears its ugly head, and I can't ignore it, everything I am thinking makes perfect sense. With myself ringing in my ears, I decide I need to take a step back and evaluate the situation. Leaning back from him took a great deal of willpower and I reluctantly began to get up, but Jack stopped me, his hands on my hips held me in place as he spoke, still breathless himself."Don't, please don't go, stay, just let me hold you," he pleads and I relax slightly though still holding myself upright, "I hav

Jack -She wants me to reject her? How can someone who doesn't want me kiss me the way she just did?I call Jason back, he knows her best out of all of us, he has a bond with her the same as me, if anyone can get to the bottom of this it is him.It takes me about the time it takes for my Gamma to go fight my battles for me to realize what happened. She thinks she is unworthy, she can't see herself the way we all see her. She has only been here a matter of days and she already has the Gamma and the Beta's sister in love with her. This all hits me like a blow to the chest as the realization dawns on me. Now that I have dispatched Jason to fetch my woman, I call on Daisy, this is gonna need a woman's touch and as someone who loves her, I need Daisy's input. Daisy blows i
Betrayed by the Beta Chapter 44 - Where is she?
Ace -I'm in the Alpha office again, looking down at the maps of our territory and neighboring packs. Nobody can find the b!tch anywhere, it is like she has vanished off the face of the fucking earth.How can one plain, simple little girl be so damn difficult to find, I have had her accused of murder for fụcksake, nobody would dream of harboring her in their pack after hearing what I claim she has done. She has to be somewhere! Oh when I find her she is going to pay dearly for everything she has done to me, for everything she has put me through.I've been in constant contact with all the closest packs and all of them say the same thing, they are looking but haven't seen anyone fitting her description, if only I had a photo of her instead of a vague generic description, mayb
Betrayed by the Beta Chapter 45 - Shopping with Daisy.
Cassie -It is official, Daisy is crazy. Goddess that girl can shop! We had been at the mall for 4 hours when I cried mercy and ducked into a cafe to rest my poor feet. 4 hours, 10 shops and dozens of bags. Poor Jason has been tasked with carrying the shopping while Daisy dragged me from store to store, trying on some things and simply bagging others. She wouldn't let me look at the price tags, if my eyes lingered on an item she bagged it. In the first store she had me try on different styles to determine my size and what complimented my figure, after that I was only forced to try things on a couple of times. I was also not allowed to stand at the till with her so I have no idea how much any of this was. She finally gave me a break and sent me to the cafe where I gratefully fell into a booth and Jason, smirking slightly, slid in opposite me.

Jason -What the fụck is taking so long? They have been gone ages, at first I thought maybe they were primping, it's the kind of thing Daisy does, but the longer I am standing here waiting the more anxious I get. I call one of our warriors over and tell him to take the bags to the cars, then I head in the direction the girls went in. Another warrior falls into step beside me, clearly noticing the tension in my shoulders. We don't speak, and suddenly the connection I have to Cassie gives me the sensation that I have been kicked in the balls, I double over for a second then sprint to the ladies toilets, as I push open the door the sensation vanishes, but what I see before me has my full attention. Cassie is unconscious and in the arms of a man that is vaguely familiar to me, I know I have seen him somewhere but I can't place him. The room seems to freeze as a growl rips f
Betrayed by the Beta Chapter 47 - Trouble
Jack -My mate was attacked in broad daylight and I don't find out until she is back? Jason stands before me, head bowed in submission as the fury practically rolls off my body."Why didn't you call me?" I thundered, jumping from my seat and racing towards the door."I wanted to focus on getting her back safely, Alpha," he replied, "she is being taken to the hospital as we speak."I am by her side in a matter of minutes and I watch, feeling forlorn as the doctors work on her, trying desperately to revive her. Finally they tell me she is in a coma, and that they don't know when she will wake up. The doctors tell me she was injected with a cocktail of wolfsbane and liquid silver, it could have killed her, theoretically is should have, b
Betrayed by the Beta Chapter 48 - Those Forgotten
Cassie -I try to sit up in the bed, but wires and the man's hands hold me down."Cassie, Cassie, wait love, let me call the doctor in," says the guy holding me in place, he lifts one hand slowly and reaches for a button on the side of my bed then replaces his hand on my shoulder, I try to push up again but he applies more force."Let me up," I demand, "Where am I? What happened? How did I get here?" I stop trying to sit up, realizing it is pointless and the questions pour out of me so quickly they are barely understandable, but he seems to follow as he lifts his hands from my shoulders and raises them as though I have a gun pointed at him."Easy love, let's get you checked by the doctor and then I will tell you everything, I swear."
Betrayed by the Beta Chapter 49 - Better and better.
Cassie -I'm never alone, Jack is with me constantly, he won't leave my side unless I go to the bathroom, but even then he hovers right outside the door. We have been talking loads, learning more about each other, it has been nice, he seems to genuinely care for his pack and our bond is solidifying more and more each day. His Beta, Dave brings by any paperwork that needs to be handled by him directly and Jason and Daisy also visit for hours at a time. Daisy is awesome, so full of life, quick to laugh and a great source of entertainment. She is especially hilarious when her twin pops by with his files, ribbing him and busting his balls until he is as red as their hair with mortification. I regularly end up with an ache in my ribs from suppressing giggles. Jack and Jason seem used to it so I'm assuming this is a common occurrence.

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!

I was moaning about something or another that Dave had done, I can't remember what h

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
Betrayed by the Beta Chapter 75 - Gammas and Deltas
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
Betrayed by the Beta Chapter 73 - Wheels in motion
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
Betrayed by the Beta Chapter 72 - Working on a Plan
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
