Enslaved by my Husband's Beta CHAPTER 38
The sun filtered through the wooden beams of the training warehouse, casting golden streaks across the floor. I sidestepped quickly, dodging Dominic’s punch, his knuckles cutting through the air inches from my face. His movements were sharp and precise, each one calculated. I was getting better at predicting them, though my execution still lagged behind.“Too slow, Luna,” Dominic teased, pivoting out of the way as I aimed a counter-punch.I huffed, repositioning myself. “You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?”“Immensely,” he admitted, smirking in that maddening way of his. “But don’t take it personally. You’re improving.”Determined to prove him wrong, I lashed out with a high kick aimed at his midsection. But, as always, he was faster. He caught my ankle effortlessly, holding it in a firm grip.“You’ve got the strength,” he said, releasing me with a hint of approval. “But your stance—”“I know, I know,” I interrupted, exasperated. “Keep my weight balanced.”Dominic chuckled, stepping back

I stayed in the room for what felt like hours, my eyes darting between the woman’s serene face and the shadows that crept along the walls. Questions swirled in my mind, unanswered and relentless. Who was she running from? What danger did she bring with her?A faint stirring broke my thoughts. The woman shifted under the blankets, her face contorting briefly as if caught in a nightmare. Then, with a sudden gasp, her eyes fluttered open.I leaned forward, startled by the intensity of her gaze. Her eyes, a piercing shade of green, locked onto mine.“You’re safe,” I said gently, trying to ease her obvious fear. “You’re in the pack house. No one can harm you here.”Her breathing remained uneven, her hands gripping the blanket tightly. She scanned the room, her gaze darting to the door as though expecting someone to burst through at any moment.“They’ll find me,” she said hoarsely, her voice trembling. “You don’t understand.”“Who will find you?” I asked, keeping my voice calm despite the u

The air around the pack house felt charged as though the forest itself was bracing for something unseen. Dominic had been in the meeting for hours, and while I tried to distract myself by tending to Seraphina and the herbs I had collected earlier, my mind wouldn’t settle.Seraphina’s warnings had struck a chord with everyone who heard them. The Crescent Moon Pack’s tragedy was more than a distant story now; it was on our doorstep. And even though I wasn’t privy to the inner circle’s discussions, I felt the weight of the decisions they were undoubtedly making.By the time Dominic emerged from the meeting, his jaw was tight, and his eyes were sharp with determination.“What’s happening?” I asked, meeting him halfway down the corridor.“We need to talk,” he said, motioning for me to follow him outside.The night was crisp, the moon casting a silvery glow over the grounds as we walked toward the training grounds. It was a small comfort to have some privacy away from the oppressive atmosph

The first rays of dawn were creeping over the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink. Despite the tranquil view, tension hung thick in the air as the pack prepared to embark on the mission to locate the hidden stronghold. The map Seraphina had provided was now our guide, but the uncertainty of its accuracy weighed heavily on everyone.Dominic stood at the head of the gathered wolves, his voice steady as he addressed us.“This isn’t just about protecting our pack,” he began, his piercing gaze meeting each pair of eyes. “It’s about ensuring the safety of everyone under our watch. The rebels thrive on fear and chaos, but we will show them that we are neither afraid nor unprepared.”His words stirred a collective growl of agreement, though the tension was palpable.“Split into two groups,” he instructed. “Group One will sweep the forest and secure the perimeter. Group Two will accompany me into the mountains. Elise…”I straightened as he turned his focus to me.“You’ll stay

The night dragged on, restless and heavy, as though the forest itself mourned the loss of Seraphina. I couldn’t sleep, couldn’t stop replaying the scene in my head—the way she walked toward the rebels with such resolve, sacrificing herself to save the pack.Now she was gone, and we were left with more questions than answers.I sat by the window, clutching the dagger Dominic had given me. Its blade gleamed faintly in the moonlight, a reminder of the fight I had been thrust into. My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of footsteps approaching my door.“Elise.”Dominic’s voice was soft but carried its usual weight of authority.“Come in,” I said, setting the dagger aside.He stepped into the room, his expression grim, his shirt torn and stained from the earlier ambush. Despite his injuries, he carried himself with the unyielding strength that had always defined him.“We need to talk,” he said, closing the door behind him.“What is it?” I asked, my voice quieter than I intended.Domini

The days after Seraphina’s rescue blurred into an uneasy rhythm. The pack worked tirelessly to recover from the chaos Harold had sown. Yet, the tension lingered like a storm cloud refusing to dissipate.For me, sleep came in restless fits, plagued by dreams of Harold's smirk and the echo of Dominic’s words: “I always trusted you, Elise.”But trust was fragile, and shadows loomed over the pack. It wasn’t just Harold who posed a threat—his betrayal hinted at deeper cracks in our foundation.Morning light filtered through the trees, dappled and soft, as I stood in the training yard sparring with Maya. She was relentless as always, her sharp movements pushing me to my limit.“You’re getting better,” she said between strikes.“Or you’re going easy on me,” I countered, dodging her blade and landing a weak blow to her side.Maya laughed, shaking her head. “Not a chance.”The moment of levity shattered when Dominic’s beta, Aaron, approached, his face grim.“Elise, Dominic wants to see you,” A

The aftermath of Harold’s death rippled through the pack like an earthquake. On the surface, there was relief—one major threat eliminated—but underneath, fear simmered. Harold’s allies wouldn’t disappear overnight. We had won the battle, but the war was far from over.Dominic carried the weight of that knowledge heavily. His calm facade rarely cracked, but I’d caught glimpses of the strain in his eyes, the way his hands lingered a moment too long over maps of potential enemy movements.As for me, I was trying to balance a new role in the pack: advisor, warrior, confidant. But in the quiet moments when my thoughts weren’t consumed by strategies or patrols, my mind drifted to Dominic—his steadiness, his resolve, and the fleeting moments of vulnerability he allowed me to see.It was late, the moon high in the sky, when I found myself wandering the edges of the forest. Sleep had eluded me yet again. The cool night air kissed my skin, and the distant sounds of the pack settling in for the

The moon hung high above the forest, casting long shadows across the trees. The air was thick with tension as Dominic and I, along with a few trusted members of the pack, raced toward the White Witch’s sanctuary. We’d received word that Kieran had managed to successfully acquire the LifeOrb and, by now, he was likely at the final stages of performing the ritual to bring Harold back.I felt a cold knot tighten in my stomach. Harold’s death had been a blow to the pack. He had been the leader of a faction that had threatened our peace, but his resurrection—if it succeeded—would bring even greater chaos. A leader with the power of the LifeOrb at his disposal could make Harold a weapon of unimaginable strength. If Kieran was successful in bringing Harold back, I feared it might be too late to stop him.The forest seemed to grow quieter with each step, as if even nature itself was holding its breath."Elise," Dominic’s voice broke through my thoughts. I turned to face him, his gaze steady a

The pain was unbearable. It tore through me like fire, radiating from my side and making every breath a struggle. I was vaguely aware of shouting, the sound distant and warped, like I was underwater. My vision blurred, the moon above me a smudged white glow against the dark canvas of the night sky.“Elise!”Harold’s voice cut through the haze, sharp and commanding. I felt strong arms lift me from the ground, the scent of him wrapping around me—a mix of earth, wood, and something uniquely Harold.I blinked up at him, my vision swimming. His face was tight with panic, his jaw clenched, and his hands trembled as they pressed against my wound to stem the bleeding.“Stay with me,” he ordered, his tone almost desperate.“Harold…” I tried to speak, but the words came out weak, barely a whisper.“Don’t,” he said sharply, his eyes meeting mine. “Save your strength. You’re going to be fine.”In the background, I could hear Dominic snarling, his voice a guttural growl as he fought off the attack

That evening, the packhouse was quieter than usual, as if the world around me was holding its breath in anticipation of the choices I was yet to make. I sat in my room, staring at the window where the moonlight spilled onto the wooden floor.Harold’s words from the night before echoed in my mind, intertwining with memories I’d tried so hard to bury. The cold stares, the dismissive tones—they clashed with the warmth and vulnerability he’d shown me by the lake. Could it be real? Could he truly change?A knock at the door jolted me from my thoughts.“Elise?” a familiar voice called.I hesitated before standing. When I opened the door, Dominic stood there, his expression unusually guarded.“What is it?” I asked, my voice laced with caution.“I need to talk to you,” he said, stepping inside without waiting for an invitation.I frowned but didn’t stop him. “Dominic, if this is about Harold—”“It’s about you,” he interrupted, his voice low and insistent. “I can see what’s happening, Elise.

The celebration seemed to blur around me, colors and sounds melding into an indistinct haze. My heart was still pounding as I found myself retreating to a quieter corner, away from the revelry, away from Harold’s piercing gaze and Dominic’s unspoken accusations. I needed space, a moment to breathe, to make sense of the emotions storming within me.How could Harold say those things after all this time? How could he look at me with such vulnerability, such determination, after years of being so cold and unreachable? The Harold I had known before would never have made such a public declaration. He would have scoffed at the very idea of it.I ran a hand through my hair, the tremor in my fingers betraying how unsteady I felt.“Elise?”The voice, soft and tentative, made me turn sharply. It was Harold. He had followed me, of course. His eyes, normally so guarded, were open, raw with emotion. It was almost too much to bear.“Shouldn’t you be celebrating with the others?” I asked, trying to k

The celebration was alive around me—laughter, howls of joy, and the clinking of glasses filling the air. I stood off to the side, my heart pounding in my chest as Harold accepted the pack’s cheers. His face was bruised, his movements stiff, but there was a fire in his eyes, an energy in his stance that made him seem invincible.And yet, I couldn’t look at him without feeling a pang of confusion and something I couldn’t quite name.Dominic’s approach broke through the haze of noise. His calm precision was like a blade cutting through the revelry. The crowd seemed to hold its breath as he walked right up to Harold, his expression unreadable.I couldn’t hear my own thoughts over the pounding of my pulse when Harold’s voice rang out, steady despite his obvious exhaustion. “Dominic, I promised that if I won, I’d grant you one wish. You gave me the challenge I needed to prove myself. Name it.”My breath hitched. Dominic’s eyes flicked toward me, and a knot formed in my stomach. Why was he l

The silence in the arena was thick, each second stretching into eternity. Harold and Dominic exchanged one last glance, the air between them crackling with unspoken tension. Then, as if a silent agreement had passed, the fight resumed.Dominic struck first, his movements calculated, his footwork precise. Harold, bruised and battered, was slower, his strength waning but his resolve unbroken. He blocked Dominic’s strike and countered with a feral determination, his raw energy overpowering the technical finesse that Dominic brought to the fight.The crowd erupted in shouts, gasps, and cries of encouragement. Every blow landed like a thunderclap, every dodge a near miss that left hearts pounding. It was clear Dominic had the upper hand, his strategy and experience keeping Harold on the defensive.But then, fate intervened.As Dominic lunged for what seemed to be the finishing blow, his footing faltered—a patch of loose gravel underfoot throwing him off balance. Harold seized the moment wi

The arena erupted with cheers and howls as the trials began. Warriors from the pack stood at attention, their eyes fixed on the contenders, each step of the competition designed to test strength, strategy, and resolve.Dominic and Harold faced each other in the center, their contrasting energies creating a magnetic pull that silenced the crowd. Dominic exuded calm confidence, every motion deliberate, while Harold carried a raw intensity, his posture brimming with the determination of someone with nothing to lose.And there I stood, caught in the current of their battle, torn by emotions I couldn’t untangle.The first trial was a test of endurance, an obstacle course that spanned the dense forest. I stood with the crowd as the competitors plunged into the challenge.“Elise,” whispered Lila, one of the healers, standing beside me. “You seem more nervous than the competitors themselves.”“I’m fine,” I lied, my voice tight.She smiled knowingly but said nothing.By the time they returned

The days leading to the trials blurred into an unrelenting tide of preparations, training, and strained moments that refused to be ignored. As the pack buzzed with anticipation, I found myself standing in the thick of it—between two men whose rivalry was as fierce as the coming trials.Dominic’s presence had always been steady, a comforting strength I could lean on when the world grew too heavy. But Harold’s sudden transformation—his confidence and resolve—left me reeling. There was no denying the fire in his eyes, a fire that seemed to burn for reasons I wasn’t ready to face.Late one evening, I stood on the ridge overlooking the training grounds, the cool wind brushing against my skin as I watched Dominic work with the challengers. His movements were a symphony of precision and power, a testament to the leader he was destined to be.“Elise.”The voice startled me. I turned to find Harold standing a few feet away, his expression unreadable in the moonlight.“Couldn’t sleep either?” I

The days leading up to the Alpha trials were a blur, each one more intense than the last. The pack’s excitement hummed in the air, like the tension before a storm.Every corner of the camp was alive with preparation—sparring sessions, strategy meetings, and countless whispered conversations. The trials would decide not just the future of the pack, but the future of the three of us. And I couldn’t decide which one terrified me more.Harold or Dominic.Dominic, the undeniable Alpha—the protector, the one who had rebuilt this pack with his bare hands. His natural command, his strength, his unwavering focus made him the perfect leader. Then there was Harold, who had always stayed in the background, his quiet intensity making him a force to be reckoned with. But now, he was stepping into the spotlight, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that his decision to enter the trials wasn’t just about the pack. It was about something deeper. Something between him and me.The thought clung to me as

The air was thick with anticipation as I stood at the edge of our territory, watching the pack prepare for what was to come. It felt surreal, almost like a dream, how much had changed in such a short time. A few months ago, we were scattered, broken, haunted by the ghosts of Kieran and his rebels. Now, we had rebuilt our home, and a new chapter was beginning.Dominic stood next to me, his usual calm composure giving off a sense of strength that seemed to seep into the very ground beneath us. The camp around us was bustling with energy, the pack members moving with purpose, each one determined to prove themselves in the upcoming challenge. For the first time in a long while, there was a sense of unity in the air. But I knew, deep down, this wasn’t just about unity. It was about leadership.“Are you ready for this?” Dominic asked, his voice low but steady, as if he was already expecting the tension that hung in the air.I glanced at him, my eyebrows furrowing. “You really think this is
