Enslaved by my Husband's Beta CHAPTER 44
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?”

Life in the pack settled into an uneasy rhythm, but as always, peace was fragile. Harold continued to struggle with his fractured memory, and though his presence was no longer met with outright hostility, an undercurrent of mistrust lingered. Dominic remained wary, his every move calculated to protect the pack and me. I understood his position, but the burden of it wore heavily on us both.What none of us realized was that the past wasn’t as buried as we thought. The arrival of a stranger would change everything.It was late afternoon when the scout wolves brought her in. She was slight and cloaked in a hooded cape, her steps deliberate despite her apparent exhaustion. Her scent was unfamiliar—a mixture of pine and something sharp, almost metallic. The wolves flanked her like guards, but she didn’t seem intimidated.Dominic and I stood on the steps of the meeting hall as she approached. Harold, who had been helping repair a nearby structure, paused mid-hammer, his gaze narrowing as he

The tranquility of the night was short-lived. By dawn, scouts returned with grim news: Kieran’s forces had moved closer, their numbers larger than anticipated. The pack was on edge, and the atmosphere buzzed with tension. Dominic immediately called a council meeting, and the once-calm halls of the meeting house became a hub of hurried whispers and clashing opinions.I stood beside Dominic at the head of the room, my gaze sweeping over the gathered pack leaders. Maelis stood to my right, her arms crossed as she observed silently, and Harold lingered at the back, his presence drawing more than a few uneasy glances. Dominic raised his hand, silencing the murmurs.“Kieran is no longer a distant threat,” he began, his voice commanding the room. “He’s at our doorstep, and he’s not alone. We’ve confirmed at least two dozen wolves—armed and loyal to him. This isn’t just about Harold anymore. Kieran’s building an army, and we need to be ready.”A murmur rippled through the room. One of the eld

The glow of the Life Orb pulsed faintly in the dim light of the war room, its eerie hum filling the air like an unwelcome reminder of the weight pressing down on us. It lay on the table, its surface smooth and unyielding, as if daring us to break it, yet refusing to yield. Dominic was pacing again, his frustration apparent in the way he clenched and unclenched his fists. He was desperate to find a way, but nothing we had tried had worked.“It doesn’t matter how hard we try,” Dominic muttered, frustration lacing his voice. “It won’t break, burn, or even chip.”Harold stood with his arms crossed, looking as though he could stand there in silence for hours, his thoughts heavy but unspoken. “We need another plan. Something definitive.”I watched them, my heart sinking as the burden of this quest weighed on all of us. The orb was a constant reminder that we were running out of time. I hadn’t spoken yet, not wanting to add to the tension in the room, but I couldn’t ignore it anymore.Maelis

The room fell silent, the weight of the Lycan’s words pressing down on us like a suffocating fog. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, and the tension in the air was thick enough to cut. Dominic’s jaw tightened, and I noticed Harold’s hand inching toward his sword, his fingers brushing the hilt in an almost unconscious gesture of readiness.“There has to be another way,” I said, my voice betraying the desperation I felt.The Lycan shook his head, his fiery red eyes glowing with an eerie intensity. “Magic like this always comes with a cost. The question is: who among you is willing to pay it?”Before I could even register the words fully, Dominic stepped forward, his posture rigid, his resolve clear. “If it comes to that, I’ll be the one to pay.”“No,” I protested immediately, my heart lurching in my chest. “You can’t.”Dominic turned to face me, and his gaze softened, though it held a deep, unyielding determination. “Elise, this is my responsibility. If anyone should bear the c

Enslaved by my Husband's Beta CHAPTER 109
The first few days after Dominic’s proposal felt surreal. Like waking up in a dream, not quite believing that the nightmare of misunderstandings, doubts, and heartbreak had finally ended. Every time I glanced at the ring glimmering on my finger, a thrill of disbelief shot through me. Dominic was mine—no half-measures, no holding back. And I was his.This morning, sunlight streamed through the curtains of his—no, our—bedroom. The scent of coffee wafted through the air, mingling with the faint aroma of lavender from the bouquet he’d surprised me with last night. Dominic was already up, probably brewing that coffee, and I couldn’t help the smile tugging at my lips.Sliding out of bed, I wrapped myself in one of his oversized shirts, inhaling the comforting scent of him as I made my way to the kitchen. There he was, hair disheveled, wearing a plain white tee and grey sweats, looking like he’d stepped out of one of my favorite daydreams.“Morning,” he greeted, his smile warm as he handed m

I stood at the edge of the cliff, the roaring waves below mirroring the storm inside me. The wind whipped around my face, carrying the scent of salt and something intangible—something that felt like change. Dominic was behind me, his footsteps crunching against the gravel, deliberate but hesitant, as though he feared breaking the fragile thread of our connection."Elise," he called, his voice steady despite the wind's resistance.I didn't turn immediately. For too long, I'd been a storm contained within myself, but now the dam was breaking. I could feel the tears streaming down my face, though the wind dried them almost instantly. Finally, I turned to face him. Dominic stood there, his hands buried deep in the pockets of his coat, his eyes filled with something I hadn't seen in weeks—hope."Why did you follow me?" I asked, my voice cracking under the weight of my emotions.His gaze softened, and he stepped closer. "Because I can't let you walk away. Not like this. Not without knowing

The clearing turned into a spotlighted battlefield as figures in tactical gear emerged from the shadows, their weapons trained on us. The loudspeaker voice barked orders again:“Drop your weapons and step forward, one at a time. Any resistance will be met with lethal force!”Ethan didn’t move, his rifle steady in his grip, though I could see the tension in his jaw. The woman in black shifted her stance, her blade glinting ominously in the floodlights. Dominic’s hand trembled slightly in mine, but his expression was resolute.“They want me,” I whispered, my voice shaking. “If I go, maybe they’ll—”“Don’t even think about it,” Dominic interrupted fiercely. “We don’t negotiate with people who point guns at us.”“They’re bluffing,” Ethan added, his voice low. “They want you alive. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be shouting demands.”The soldiers began to fan out, their movements coordinated and efficient. One stepped closer, a rifle slung over his shoulder.“Final warning! Surrender now!”The w

The blinding spotlight bore down on us, freezing us in place like cornered prey. Caleb's smug voice crackled through a megaphone, sending a shiver of dread through me."Hand over Dominic and Elise, and maybe I'll consider letting your mysterious friend live. Maybe."The woman in black, who had just saved us, didn’t flinch. Instead, she stepped forward, her voice low and calm. "He's bluffing. We move now, or we don’t move at all."Dominic swayed slightly, his weight leaning against me as I supported him. His breathing was labored, and the blood seeping through his shirt wasn’t stopping. We were running out of time."I won't let them take you," I whispered to him, my voice fierce despite my fear.He managed a weak smile. "And here I thought… I was supposed to protect you."The woman in black turned back to us, her voice sharp. "If you two are done with the romance, we need to get to the treeline. Now!"Gunshots echoed in the air, sending chunks of dirt flying up around us. The woman cur

The darkness was disorienting, heavy like a suffocating shroud. The last thing I remembered was the sharp tug on the car door and Dominic’s grip tightening around my arm, his voice calling my name in desperation. Now, all I could hear was muffled noise—voices arguing, footsteps echoing, and the low hum of machinery in the background.My eyelids felt heavy as I forced them open, my head pounding. The room I was in was dimly lit, the air thick with the smell of damp concrete. I was tied to a chair, my hands bound tightly behind my back. Panic surged through me as I tried to move, but the ropes dug into my skin.“Dominic?” I croaked, my voice barely above a whisper.There was no response, but as my vision adjusted, I saw him slumped against a metal pole across the room, his face pale, his breathing shallow. His shirt was stained with blood, and my heart clenched at the sight.“Dominic!” I called him again, louder this time.He stirred slightly, his head lifting just enough for me to see

The man—whoever he was—was already moving toward the door. His actions were swift and purposeful, like he knew exactly what to do. He turned to us briefly.“Stay low, stay quiet. Follow me,” he ordered, his voice steady. There was no hesitation, no uncertainty in his tone.I glanced at Dominic, who was struggling to steady himself, but I knew he couldn’t do this alone.“Dominic, we can make it,” I said, stepping closer to him, my voice thick with emotion. I wanted to believe it. More than anything, I wanted us to make it out of this alive. But the weight of the situation pressed heavily on my chest.He reached out, gripping my hand tightly, and for a moment, his touch felt like the only thing keeping me grounded. "We will," he murmured, his voice rough but filled with the kind of certainty I desperately needed. "I won't leave you."I nodded, swallowing the lump in my throat, and followed the mysterious man. We moved as quickly as we could through the narrow hallways, the sound of our

The darkness was suffocating. My body felt heavy, as if I were sinking into a deep abyss. Distant echoes of voices and the faint rustle of movement seeped into the void, pulling me toward consciousness. My head throbbed, and when I finally opened my eyes, blurry shapes swam before me.I was in a dimly lit room, the walls rough-hewn stone. A single flickering lantern hung from the ceiling, casting long, eerie shadows. My hands were bound tightly behind my back, the rope biting into my skin. Panic surged through me as I tried to wriggle free, but the bindings wouldn’t budge.“Dominic?” My voice came out as a hoarse whisper. I turned my head, searching desperately for him.My eyes landed on him across the room, slumped against the wall. Blood stained his shirt where Caleb had stabbed him. His chest rose and fell in shallow, uneven breaths, and his face was pale, almost ghostly. He was alive—but barely.“Dominic!” I called again, louder this time.His eyelids fluttered, and he let out a l

I bit back a sob, my mind racing. I couldn’t let him find me. I scanned the chamber, searching for anything that could be a weapon or an escape route. My eyes landed on a narrow fissure in the rock, barely wide enough for me to squeeze through.Without thinking, I scrambled toward it, wedging myself into the tight space. The rock scraped against my skin, and for a moment, I thought I might get stuck. But sheer desperation gave me the strength to push through, emerging on the other side into another dark tunnel.I didn’t stop to catch my breath. I kept moving, the oppressive silence around me broken only by the distant sound of Caleb’s pursuit.And then, suddenly, the ground beneath me gave way.I screamed as I fell, the world spinning around me. I hit the ground hard, pain shooting through my body. My flashlight skittered across the floor, its beam illuminating the cavern I had fallen into.This space was larger, with towering stalagmites and a shallow pool of water reflecting the lig

Dominic’s grip on my arm tightened as Caleb’s voice continued to echo, growing louder and more menacing with every passing second. The sound of his laughter twisted the air around us, a haunting reminder that he wasn’t just a threat but a predator, circling his prey.“We need to move. Now,” Dominic said, his voice firm but calm. He was bleeding, his shirt stained crimson, but his focus was razor-sharp. He turned us toward a narrower passage on the other side of the cavern.“Do you think he’s following us?” I whispered, my voice trembling.Dominic’s jaw clenched. “No doubt about it. Caleb doesn’t back down—not until he gets what he wants.”The weight of his words settled over me like a lead blanket. Caleb wasn’t just chasing us; he was hunting us. And he was enjoying it.We pressed on, the narrow tunnel forcing us to move single file. Dominic led the way, his flashlight cutting through the darkness. The air grew colder, the dampness seeping into my skin. The sound of water grew louder,
