Enslaved by my Husband's Beta CHAPTER 40
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 morning light seeped into the packhouse, casting soft rays through the large windows as life stirred once more. It had been a week since Harold’s resurrection, and while the pack had mostly resumed their routines, the underlying tension was palpable. The once-feared leader of the rebellion was now just a man, aimless and struggling to make sense of his new existence.I stood in the common room, watching Harold as he sat by the fire. He stared into the flames, his expression vacant. His presence here felt surreal. The man who had once been my enemy now seemed more like a lost child. Part of me wanted to leave him to fend for himself—after all, he had caused so much pain—but something inside me resisted. It wasn’t pity, exactly. It was a sense of unfinished business, a need to see this through.Dominic’s voice startled me from my thoughts. “You’re staring again.”I turned to him, my arms crossed. He leaned against the doorway, his arms folded as he regarded me with a knowing look.“

The days that followed were marked by a strange sense of normalcy, even as an underlying unease lingered. Harold’s integration into the pack seemed to be progressing smoothly on the surface. Still, there was no ignoring the whispers, the sidelong glances from the others, and the constant weight of uncertainty about his past.I found Harold tending to the greenhouse one morning, his hands gently brushing the leaves of the plants he was watering. The sunlight streaming through the glass panes made him look peaceful, almost like he belonged there. It was such a stark contrast to the man I once feared.“You’ve taken to this well,” I said, stepping inside. The scent of herbs and soil wrapped around me, calming my nerves.Harold looked up and smiled faintly. “It’s... calming. Feels like something I might have done before.”I tilted my head, studying him. “Do you think it’s a memory?”He paused, his expression distant. “Maybe. Or maybe it’s just wishful thinking.”I walked over to stand besi

The tension within the pack began to subside as the days rolled by. Harold settled into his new life, becoming a quiet yet contributing member of our community. Despite everything, there was an undeniable heaviness in the air, a collective waiting for the other shoe to drop. Harold’s fragmented memories were like cracks in a dam, threatening to spill over at any moment.Dominic, ever the skeptic, made it clear he thought the best course of action was to keep Harold isolated until we knew more. I disagreed, but it was a precarious line to walk.Late one evening, as I sat in the library surrounded by open books and scattered notes, Harold entered. He seemed hesitant, lingering by the doorway.“Can I come in?” he asked.I gestured toward the seat across from me. “Of course. How are you holding up?”He rubbed the back of his neck, looking sheepish. “Better, I guess. But I can’t shake the feeling that... I’m missing something important.”I leaned back, trying to gauge his mood. “Memories?”

As the car roared to life, the tension between Dominic and me was thick enough to cut with a knife. He sat in the back, silent and brooding, his eyes flicking between the road ahead and the small stack of documents in my hands. I could feel his gaze on me, but I refused to acknowledge it. This wasn’t the time for distractions, not when we were heading straight into enemy territory.We drove in silence for what felt like hours, the city lights blinking past in a blur. I was processing Dominic’s words, the weight of the trap we were walking into pressing down on me. But even as I tried to focus, his presence in the backseat kept nagging at me, pulling at my thoughts.Creed was driving with determination, his jaw clenched as he muttered low under his breath. "This place better be worth it."I had half a mind to reply, but instead, I found myself stealing glances at Dominic through the rearview mirror. He was staring out the window, his face shrouded in shadows, but there was a quiet inte

The sounds of gunfire and shouting echoed down the corridor, sharp and frantic. Creed’s movements were precise, each shot calculated to neutralize our pursuers, but the growing number of guards meant we couldn’t stay and fight for long."Exit’s ahead," I shouted to Creed, my voice low and urgent. We had to push through—there was no other option.We barreled forward, ducking behind pillars and crates, our every step echoing in the cold, concrete halls. The weight of the files we’d grabbed felt like lead in my hands, but I couldn’t afford to drop them. This intel was everything. It was our leverage against the Director, our ticket to shutting down whatever operation he was running.Creed fired another round, hitting a guard square in the chest, but even that wasn’t enough to slow down the reinforcements pouring in from every side."Keep moving!" I yelled, taking point as we rounded another corner. We were close to the exit now. Just a few more yards and we could get out into the open. B

The next day, we were ready. The warehouse near the docks wasn’t far from where we were operating, so we had the advantage of familiarity with the area. Rina had briefed us on the specifics of the meeting—Asher’s conditions, the layout of the location, and the timing. We weren’t taking any chances. Every route had been mapped out, every angle covered. Dante had a few men placed on lookout, just in case. Creed had already checked the finances and made sure the Black Hand's accounts were less secure than they thought. I had prepared a few words, though I wasn’t sure what would happen once we walked into that room. It all hinged on Asher.We made our way to the warehouse at dusk, the sun barely touching the horizon as we pulled up in a black SUV, the city skyline just visible in the distance. The docks were eerily quiet, the only sounds being the occasional rustle of wind against the ocean and the distant hum of machinery. The perfect place for a secret meeting. Or an ambush.I stayed f

The air in the room was thick with tension as I processed everything Rina had just told us. The Black Hand. It was as if the very mention of them had cast a shadow over the room, a foreboding sense of doom creeping in. But in the midst of that darkness, there was something else—something burning deep within me. It wasn’t just fear. It was anger.I couldn’t let them destroy everything I’d fought for. My life. My freedom. My family. Not after everything.“We need to act now,” I said, my voice sharper than before. "The longer we wait, the more time they have to close in on us. We can’t afford to be passive. We have to hit them first."Rina nodded, though there was a caution in her eyes. “It won’t be easy. The Black Hand doesn’t make mistakes, and they don’t let their enemies live long enough to fight back.”I turned to Dante and Creed. “We’ll need to gather intel—everything we can about them. Who their allies are, their operations, weaknesses. We have to find out how deep they’ve infiltr

The cold air hit me like a slap when I stepped outside the safehouse, but it did nothing to chill the heat still burning in my chest. I couldn’t stop thinking about Rina’s words. There’s someone else after you, Elise. And they’re not going to stop.The rain had stopped, but it still felt like the storm hadn’t passed inside me. The weight of it all—the death of Callum, the betrayal, the bloodshed—was suffocating. And now, Rina had shown up. I should have felt relief. I should have welcomed her with open arms. But all I felt was a sense of foreboding, the sense that the past wasn’t done with me. That the worst was yet to come.I walked to the edge of the cabin’s porch, my boots sinking slightly into the damp earth. The night was eerily quiet, save for the rustle of leaves in the distance, whispering secrets I couldn’t hear. The storm had passed, but the silence lingered like an omen.Dante’s voice broke through the stillness. “You should come back inside.”I turned toward him, his silho

The rain hadn’t stopped by the time we reached the safehouse. It clung to me, soaking through my clothes, chilling me to the bone. My fingers were numb, but it wasn’t from the cold—it was from what I had done.Callum was dead.I kept replaying it over and over, the way my knife slid into his chest, the way his breath had caught in his throat. The look in his eyes—shock, then fear, then nothing. I should have felt relief, triumph even, but all I felt was an eerie silence settling inside me.Dante pushed the door open, his grip firm on my wrist. Creed entered first, gun still in hand, sweeping the room in one last precautionary check. It was a small, run-down cabin on the outskirts of the city, nestled between overgrown trees and shadows. The perfect place to disappear.“Clear,” Creed muttered, shaking off the rain. He glanced at me, his sharp eyes assessing, but he said nothing. He never did unless necessary.Dante let go of me, stripping off his soaked jacket before tossing it onto th

Callum lunged at me again, his knife flashing in the storm’s light. I twisted, barely dodging his attack, feeling the rush of air as his blade sliced past my cheek. The sting came a second later, warm blood mixing with the rain. But I didn’t stop. I couldn’t.Dante fired another shot, taking down one of Callum’s men who had been closing in on us. Creed had disappeared into the trees, picking them off one by one, silent and efficient. But Callum was mine.I ducked under his next strike, driving my knee up into his gut. He grunted, stumbling back. I pressed forward, slashing at his arm, drawing another line of crimson. His face twisted in fury, but there was something else there—something I hadn’t seen before.Fear.“Not so confident now, are you?” I taunted, circling him.Callum let out a sharp, humorless laugh. “You think you’ve won?” he sneered. “You’re still that scared little girl, Elise. And deep down, you know it.”I ignored his words. He was trying to get inside my head, to make

The storm howled in my ears, but it couldn't drown out the pounding of my heart. There was no going back now. The wind whipped around us, cold and biting, but the warmth of Dante’s presence beside me grounded me. The rifle in his hands was steady, his eyes sharp as they scanned the shadows. Creed was to the side, his every move calculated, waiting for the right moment.We were surrounded.I could hear their footsteps on the wet earth, the crunch of leaves and dirt under their boots. Six figures, maybe more, closing in with a purpose. Callum was at the center of it all, standing tall with that sickening grin on his face. It made my blood boil.I couldn’t let them take me again. Not after everything I had fought for.Dante’s hand brushed against mine, a quick reassurance. "Stay behind me," he whispered, but there was no fear in his voice—only resolve.But I couldn’t hide behind him forever."I’m done running," I said, my voice barely audible over the storm. My grip tightened on the knif

Dante stepped closer, his dark eyes searching mine. The weight of unspoken words pressed between us, thick as the storm outside. I could feel the tension in his grip, the demand for answers."Tell me the truth, Elise," he said, voice low but firm. "Who are they? What do they want?"I exhaled, dragging a trembling hand through my damp hair. The truth was a wound I had kept stitched shut for too long, but now the stitches were unraveling."They’re the ones I escaped from," I admitted. "I thought I was free. I thought I could start over." I looked away, swallowing hard. "But no one ever really escapes them."Creed leaned against the wall, arms crossed, watching me with an expression I couldn’t decipher."They were never going to stop looking for you," he muttered. "I warned you."Dante’s jaw tightened. "You knew?""I suspected," Creed admitted. "Didn’t have proof until now."Dante turned to me, his hands gripping my arms, grounding me. "Why didn’t you tell me?"My throat tightened. "Beca
