Enslaved by my Husband's Beta CHAPTER 85
The air between us crackled with tension, and for a moment, I couldn’t breathe. The figure standing before us was no stranger. I could feel the recognition crawl up my spine like ice. His eyes locked onto mine with such intensity that it was like he could see through me, reading my every thought.Dominic’s grip tightened around my wrist, his body stiffening beside me as he faced the newcomer. The tension was palpable—thick, like a storm about to break."You’re making a mistake, Zane," Dominic said, his voice low and dangerous. There was something in his tone, something that hinted at history, a past that neither of us knew. It was like the words carried a weight that only Zane understood.Zane’s smirk deepened, his eyes never leaving mine as he took a deliberate step forward. "I don’t make mistakes, Dominic," he said, the cold confidence in his voice sending a shiver down my spine. "But you… you’ve made plenty."I wanted to say something—anything—to break the suffocating silence. My h

The air seemed to thicken, and I suddenly felt the weight of something immense closing in on me, like the walls were pressing inward. My pulse quickened, and I could feel Dominic’s tension beside me, his body rigid with barely contained anger."Zane, enough!" Dominic’s voice rang out, fierce and commanding. "Let us go. You have no idea what you’re dealing with."Zane’s smirk deepened, but his eyes gleamed with something darker, something that made the air around us crackle with danger. "Oh, I know exactly what I’m dealing with. And you’ll find that out soon enough too. But first…"His fingers danced over the pedestal, and a strange vibration filled the room. Suddenly, a door I hadn’t noticed before opened with a creak, revealing a narrow corridor shrouded in shadows. From the darkened hallway, something moved—something large, moving closer.Dominic stepped in front of me, his body a shield, but his eyes never left Zane. "What are you releasing?"Zane’s grin widened, his eyes glowing w

The air around us crackled with energy as the mysterious woman stepped further into the room, her presence commanding and almost suffocating. Her eyes—glowing with an unnatural light—locked onto mine, and for a moment, I felt as though she could see straight through me, as if she knew everything I had ever thought, everything I had ever felt.Dominic’s hand tightened around mine, his grip almost painful, but it grounded me, reminding me that I wasn’t alone in this. But the unease in the pit of my stomach only deepened as the woman continued to advance, her every step silent but heavy with purpose.“Who are you?” I asked, trying to steady my voice despite the fear that churned inside me.She tilted her head, as if considering my question carefully, before offering a small, almost mocking smile. “Who am I?” Her voice was low, smooth, like honey laced with poison. “I am someone you should have feared long before now.”I felt Dominic stiffen beside me, and I could tell that whatever she w

The room trembled again, more violently this time, as if the very foundation of the world was breaking apart. I staggered, my vision blurring as the power swirling around us grew stronger. The woman’s presence seemed to anchor the chaos, her calm demeanor in stark contrast to the destructive forces she had unleashed.Dominic's hand was still firmly gripping mine, pulling me toward him, his eyes full of determination. "We need to leave now," he urged, his voice low but forceful.But even as I nodded, the ground beneath our feet cracked open, revealing an abyss, a swirling vortex of shadows that beckoned us into the unknown. The room seemed to dissolve around us, and the dark force was growing, pushing us toward the edge of the abyss."You're not going anywhere," Zane sneered, stepping forward. "Not without me. Not without understanding your true power."The woman beside him stood silently, her gaze fixed on me, her eyes glimmering with a strange, almost predatory curiosity. I could fee

Dominic's embrace steadied me, his warmth anchoring me in the aftermath of the chaos. But the questions swirling in my mind threatened to consume me. The power I had unleashed—what was it? And why did it feel as though it wasn’t entirely my own?The air around us was thick with tension. Though the shadows had dissipated, an unsettling silence lingered, as if the room itself were holding its breath, waiting for the next shoe to drop.Dominic gently tilted my chin upward, forcing me to meet his gaze. His eyes, usually so steady, held a flicker of unease. "Elise, you saved us back there, but... that light, that force—it wasn’t normal. It wasn’t just you, was it?"I hesitated, the words catching in my throat. "I don’t know," I admitted. "It felt like me, but it also felt... other. Like something else was guiding it, pushing it out of me." My voice dropped to a whisper. "Dominic, what if it’s not something I can control?"His jaw tightened, but his hands on my shoulders were firm, groundin

You’re not alone, a voice whispered, faint and distant but undeniably familiar. Trust yourself. Trust us.The words sent a shiver down my spine, but they also brought clarity. I opened my eyes just as a creature lunged toward me. Instinct took over, and I thrust my hands forward. The light shot out in a brilliant arc, hitting the creature mid-leap and disintegrating it into a burst of ash."That’s it!" Hadley shouted, dodging a swipe from another shadowy figure. "Channel it! Don’t hold back!"The power surged through me, wild and untamed. I raised my hands again, this time directing the energy toward the remaining creatures. Each blast of light struck true, reducing them to nothingness. But with every strike, the force within me grew harder to control. It was like trying to contain a storm in a fragile glass jar."Elise!" Dominic’s voice pulled me back just in time. A final creature had slipped past him, its claws outstretched, aiming for Hadley. Without thinking, I unleashed a wave o

Dominic’s grip on my hand tightened as if anchoring me to the present. I leaned into his warmth, drawing strength from his steady presence, even as my thoughts spiraled into the unknown."Is there a way to defeat him?" I asked, my voice trembling. "To stop this shadow from taking control of me?"Celeste regarded me with a mixture of sympathy and something colder—determination. "Defeating the shadow isn’t as simple as wielding power against it. This force thrives on your fear, your doubts. To overcome it, you must confront what you fear most… and accept every part of who you are. The light, the dark, and everything in between."The words made my stomach twist. Confronting the darkness inside me? Facing the parts of myself I’d buried and avoided? I wasn’t sure if I was ready—or if I ever would be.Dominic spoke up, his voice firm. "She’s not doing this alone." His gaze burned into Celeste. "Whatever she has to face, I’ll be there."Celeste raised an eyebrow, an almost amused smile tuggi

Celeste glanced at me, her lips pressed into a thin line. "The shadow isn’t working alone. It has allies—beasts born from magic long forgotten. That howl came from one of them, a tracker sent to find Elise. They’re relentless and will stop at nothing to bring her to the shadow."I swallowed hard, my heart racing. "So how do we stop it?""You don’t," Celeste said bluntly. "Not yet. These creatures are bound to the shadow's will. Killing them is nearly impossible unless you sever the connection at its source.""Then what do we do?" Dominic demanded, his voice sharp."We run," Celeste said simply. "For now."Dominic didn’t look pleased, but he didn’t argue. He grabbed my hand, his touch steadying me even as panic threatened to take over."Let’s move," he said, his tone leaving no room for debate.We plunged into the forest, the faint glow from the pursuing beast growing brighter behind us. The sound of branches snapping and heavy footsteps echoed, each noise closer than the last. My ches

Enslaved by my Husband's Beta CHAPTER 127
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

The storm raged outside, but the tension inside was even heavier. Creed stood in the doorway, dripping water onto the wooden floor, his breath coming fast and uneven. His eyes darted between me and Dante, as if measuring how much he could say in front of him."Who’s coming?" I asked, forcing my voice to be steady.Creed wiped a hand down his soaked face, his fingers shaking slightly. "The ones who never stopped looking for you. You think you left it all behind, but they never forgot. And now they know where you are."Dante’s grip on my hand tightened. "She’s not alone," he said, his tone edged with steel. "And she’s not running."Creed let out a humorless laugh. "You think you can just stand your ground? You don’t understand who you’re up against. They don’t knock on doors. They don’t send warnings. If they know where you are, it’s already too late."A crack of thunder rattled the windows, making me flinch. I hated how much Creed’s words unsettled me. He wasn’t someone who scared easi

The days began to pass with a rhythm I hadn't known in years—quiet, steady, and filled with purpose. Each morning, I woke with a sense of anticipation, not of fear or dread but of something simple and grounding. The garden grew under our care, rows of green bursting with life. The townsfolk had started to visit, their curiosity turning into admiration as they saw what we were creating.But more than the garden, it was the connection with Dante that seemed to bloom most vividly.One afternoon, as I tied stakes for the tomato vines, I caught Dante watching me. His shirt was smudged with dirt, his hands calloused from work, but he looked more at ease than I’d ever seen him.“What?” I asked, brushing a stray strand of hair from my face.“You,” he said, with a faint smile. “You look happy.”I blinked at the honesty in his voice, caught off guard by how deeply it resonated. “I think I am,” I admitted softly, the words feeling foreign but true.He stepped closer, his gaze steady. “You deserv
Enslaved by my Husband's Beta CHAPTER 120
The quiet that enveloped our lives in the months that followed felt earned, as if we’d clawed it from the jaws of chaos itself. The house Dante found was perched on the edge of a quiet forest, its wide windows inviting sunlight to flood every corner. It was the kind of place I’d once dreamed about when the noise and danger of Creed’s world had made peace feel like a distant fairy tale.But even here, where life had finally slowed, the past had a way of whispering in the dark.One evening, as I was unpacking a box of books I hadn’t touched in years, I came across a journal I’d kept before my life unraveled. Its leather cover was worn, the pages inside filled with scribbled dreams and plans for a future I barely recognized anymore.Flipping through, I saw the person I used to be—the one who believed in simple joys, who thought nothing was beyond reach if she worked hard enough. That person felt so far removed from who I was now. I wasn’t sure if she would recognize me.“What’s that?” Da
Enslaved by my Husband's Beta CHAPTER 119
Dante's words echoed in my mind as I packed a small bag with essentials. The weight of what we were about to do bore down on me, but alongside it came a sense of resolve. This wasn’t just about Creed anymore—it was about reclaiming my life, my freedom.Dante stood by the door, his phone in hand as he coordinated with someone on the other end. His voice was low, authoritative, and steady. Even in the chaos, he exuded control.When he finally ended the call, he looked at me, his expression grave. “We’ll need to leave within the hour. Creed’s staying in a secured location, but Dominic’s contacts say the window to catch him vulnerable is closing.”I swallowed hard, nodding. “Do we have a plan?”“We do,” Dante said. “It’s risky, but it’s the best shot we’ve got.”The drive to Creed’s hideout was tense, every passing mile charged with anticipation. Dante’s eyes flicked between the road and the rearview mirror, his instincts on high alert.“Tell me,” I said, breaking the silence. “What happe
