Her Beta Mate It's not about me
RIDER "What are you doing?" I gingerly removed Sam's hand glancing, across my shoulder, remembering I'd left Halie behind. God, I hoped she didn't see a thing. The last thing I needed was for her to think something was going on between us, then again I couldn't even predict what went on in Halie's mind. This imprint thing was not doing either of us favors and as much as I'm staying away physically, my mind is always with her. Sam smirks before placing her hands against her hips. I've been avoiding her too. It's easier with Halie however, being Beta forces me to interact with the pack, and with Sam being a warrior, it's all the more complicated. I moved to walk around her before she grabbed my hand and I met her eyes. "Rider. " "Not right now. " "Then when? Please I just want to talk. Please. " I huffed folding my hands across my chest, my eyes wandering around. "I'm listening. " "I don't get why you're upset with me, " She starts before running a hand through her dark curly h
Last Updated : 2021-10-27Her Beta Mate Notorious three or is it five?
RIDER We're all standing in the forest, ears on high alert to intruders, yet completely in tune to our sparing match. Jax is shirtless and smiling like a idiot, as if his craving for blood, has just spiked. His recent victim? Oliver our Gamma and friend. We're completely out of reach to be distrubed, well unless you want Jax to chew your ass. When he's having fun, intruders aren'welcomed with open arms, otherwise we're in perfect proximity in case there's an emergency. Light filters through the foliage above, warm and steady, though it's still early and with every breath we take, mists escape us. It's not a one on one challenge, we're wolves and right now we're enemies to each other. I miss Jax's upper cut only to find myself pinned by Oliver from my torso upwards, my hands precariously positioned behind my head. A hit to my abdomen, once, twice and of course it's my asshole Alpha, and he's enjoying it much more than he should. Oliver is laughing also. The pair of sadists. I wait, g

"Quinn is coming," Moi says, staring out the window. "And he has flowers. " She snorts and I laugh. I'm not sure why she dislikes him so much. Moi never acted like that around Rider. Moi opens the door before Quinn has a chance to knock, not being careful to hide the fact that she dislikes him being here- a lot. "Good morning!" Quinn sings just the same and I can't help but smile at his bubbly personality. "Flowers for the lady" Then marched over placing a kiss on my cheek and a flower in my hand likewise. "Careful, I might think you have a crush on me, " I say as we walk from my room heading to the kitchen. Moi is mumbling to herself, being miserable but neither of us take notice of the thunder or lightning that's brewing above her head. Quinn's golden eyes gleam with mirth as we walk along. "Who told you?" He questions cheekly and I hide my reddening cheeks behind my palms. "So" I say, deflecting his obvious flirting, bumping his shoulder. "How did you get out of Rider's clutch

"Where's Allison?!" I grabbed Jax by the arm staring into his eyes that looked hella terrified. Yes, I'm so furious right now, that I'm probably shooting steam from both my ears but who the f**k cares! "Where is she?!" "Down the hall, the room to the left" He answers hesitantly. "Should I be worried? You know what, never mind. " I storm off mid his speech, swinging the door open and finding Allison on her bed. Her eyes are large with surprise, yet she's still somewhat composed palming her stomach. "I need to talk to you. " She blinks, lips pasted together. "It's about Rider. " "Guess I should make myself comfortable then. Close the door behind you. " I'm overreacting, I know. But honestly I truly despised the girl that's with Rider and maybe it's 'cause, in the pit of my stomach, I can sense something isn't right between both of them. She's clingy and obnoxious and he's tolerating her. I don't give a shit if she might've known him before me. "What's the problem?" Allison asks.
Last Updated : 2021-10-30Her Beta Mate Ghost or living person?
Rider's eyes widened to saucers at my statement before biting his lower lip. He shifts from one foot to the next dumbstruck. I'm huffing, completely a mess from my emotions. Seeing his whole reaction right now, confirms everything. We were mates. He really did reject me. I fought to stay on my feet and not black out as my chest felt as if it was crumbling inward. I just....I couldn't understand why. He seemed so sincere, so concerned for my well-being, only to know I'm just another piece of the puzzle to walk on. I glance at him, standing there conflicted, and for a moment the thought crosses that he shouldn't be out here. He should really be resting up. I shook my head, Stop thinking about him Halie, just don't care. "How long have you known?" Then it happened. I slapped him across the face as tears finally poured. My heart felt as if it was crushing and he had the audacity to ask how long I've known! Rider's fists clenched as well as his jaw but he doesn't retaliate, but as stu
Last Updated : 2021-10-31Her Beta Mate Competition?
RIDER "Dammit, " I cursed fisting a tree as I got closer. How much more difficult can this situation get! "Ugh!!!" I screamed into the surrounding empty bushes and trees. I don't know what I expected of Halie, or how I thought she'd act when she eventually found out about us. Actually I never thought she'd find out. I never even thought she'd take it this seriously. I never thought I'd hurt my mate this much to make her cry. She trusted me and I betrayed her. I betrayed her feelings, her trust. I betrayed what we were. I was a lousy mate. Halie was right, I didn't bother to factor in what she might have felt, I just did what I thought was best. I never thought she'd be affected by the imprint bond. Mates often took on challenges together, I had just thought, since she wasn't a wolf like us, it only made her weak and vulnerable. The thought never occurred that all those times she came after us, she was just trying to ensure I was safe. Well, she also thought I was the danger. "F*

"You want me to do what?!" I stared at Quinn completely taken aback by his recent words. "You want me to go into the forest tonight? Is this a joke?" "I don't want you to do anything, " Quinn replied, his golden eyes pinned on mine. "I'm simply giving you some information. I know you've been meaning to leave this place. " I gawked. Was he serious? "Where were you when I needed this information weeks ago?!" I whisper yelled at him, doing my best to keep my voice down so others wouldn't hear our conversation. "You didn't ask me. " "I really wanna hit you right now, " I responded irritated with his sassy response as I poke my finger at him. Quinn runs his hand through his blonde hair sighing. "Listen, I know my timing is impeccable. " "Ya think? " I ask, folding my arms across my chest. "Just when I'm thinking of leaving this place again? Sure there's nothing fishy about that. " "Honestly things are about to turn ugly here, " Quinn moved closer, placing his hand on my shoulder.
Last Updated : 2021-11-02Her Beta Mate If you'll have me
RIDER My ears flicker picking up the flapping of bird's wings in the trees above us, before my eyes slide open. I'm fully aware of my surroundings and more so the little human mate that's clinging to my fur for dear life. She's sleeping. I stay still, relishing the moment of having her in my paws, to know I don't have to hide myself from her anymore. Of course knowing Halie, this could probably be the calm before the storm. She might not be so accepting once she's fully awake again. Still, it felt f***ing great to have her in my arms. I glanced into the horizon of the trees, seeing complete darkness left and right, before changing her position to rest against the trunk of the tree, then shifted. There's no hell of a way I was having her on my back completely unconscious. 'What's the status?' I asked mind linking the men on duty 'No problem so far Beta 'Parker, how is it on the fence? ''Clear so far sir. Everything's fine. 'Good,' I responded, taking Halie in my arms watching as

Her Beta Mate Love always wins
RIDER I hurried home, running through the living area and headed for my room grabbing my travel bag. I hadn't seen Halie since she left, haven't heard from her, wouldn't even know who to ask. But I had promised that we'd only be apart temporarily and I meant it. 'You're leaving!!' Quinn's voice screams in my head. 'When were you planning on telling me this?' 'Hopefully before you had the chance of screaming my ear off' I responded in the link. 'I give up my position too' Oliver says joining the conversation. I pause, grabbing a shirt and then two more. I wasn't sure how long I'd get to stay with her- not that I was hurrying, but I couldn't put off going to find Jax either. The asshole hadn't left a clue about his whereabouts and I pray to Selene that he hasn't gone Berserker either, but I'm almost sure he might have said something to Moi about where he might be. And that's what I'm counting on. 'No you can't' I reply to Oliver. 'What? You just walked away from yours'. 'I'm thi
Her Beta Mate I quit
RIDER I watched as Halie left, feeling the longing in her heart to stay. I wanted her to stay but she couldn't. With Jax gone, my father and the new Alpha would try to keep both her and Moi in holding. It had to be something special why an Alpha of all ranks chose a human for a mate. I haven't even divulged that she was my mate. But I wasn't gonna wait around for either secs to accept it. I only stayed to ensure there was no abuse of the Red Devil pack members. I was standing behind Halie's oath to give them safe passage. Which is what the argument between us is. "We rebuilt most of the destroyed buildings, men are working on the fences to get them up again. " Oliver explains. He is just as exhausted as I am at our Alpha's stubbornness. He might have been his father-in-law, but I swear Oliver rolls his eyes and mutters beneath his breath 'If it wasn't for Allison and the pup'. No one wants to deal with either of them. Neither my father or the current Alpha and the fact that I was
Her Beta Mate Home
I was still pissed that Rider took his ex along but I knew he didn't do it on purpose. It's not like he could send her back. Besides the whole fact that I can't even think straight, Moi is dead and in the heat of things, Rider decides to admit that he loves me. Now, his pregnant ex tags along. I've been avoiding him for days now ever since we started the journey back to his pack. It's not that I dont love him, I do, but I'm confused as to where we go from here. If Gale hadn't rotted me out, I had agreed to leave Rider be. The guilt still gnaws at me, especially after what we shared last night and some part of me thinks it would be the right thing to do. Especially with a baby on the way. Sam would only continue to be petty and would likely require Rider for everything, even lifting a cup of water. I walk around checking on the pack members, smiling at the little kids. They were all so terrified. I had eavesdropped on some of their conversation a little earlier, hearing someone ment
Her Beta Mate Conviction
RIDER I can't move. I think I might have broken every bone in my body, plus the additional ones that were broken prior to embarking on this adventure. Now that I had the time, I felt every radiation of f**king pain soaring through my body. "Hey, " Halie whispers, her face contorted in concern as he held onto me. "You're going to be okay. There's so much blood" She chuckles nervously. "So much blood but you're going to be okay, I promise. " 'Okay' I told her, even if she couldn't hear me. But I trusted her. I can hear Veron, thank goddess he was still breathing, Quinn still in enough shape to make jokes. I can almost smile at the thought. I can't believe we actually won a f**king war, killed Ragna. I killed a Red Devil. Yeah I was never going to live this one down. Something cold slips into my veins, my eyes opening momentarily finding Halie still beside me. She glances up with a smile, her eyes moving back to whatever she was doing. Her small hands skim my fur, chest relaxing as sh
Her Beta Mate No Greater Sacrifice
RIDER It's a small jerk, then another and then the sound of sputtering that pulls me from my reverie and to her side. I lift my mate, helping her to sit forward as she coughs up water swallowed from having gone under. Halie immediately wraps her arms around my neck, shivering, pressing her mouth to mine and I return her kiss in fervor. Maybe she didn't think I'd make it while I was losing hope that she'll remain alive. Halie pulled back, staring into my face for a while, tears streamed down her cheeks, lips trembling and I pulled her closer, squeezing her against my chest. She didn't need to say anything. I already knew and understood. "You actually came," she whispers. "For me. " "I promised I'll always find you, didn't I?" "That's so corny. " Halie chuckles against me and I soak everything up, determined not to let these memories slip. I decided here and then that I was going to do better, be better for her. Believe in her. "Erhem, " Someone coughs from behind me, and Halie pe
Her Beta Mate Hell hound
RIDER Ragna was dead. I wanted him dead and unidentifiable beneath me. Halie was mine and now she was his. He stole her from me, ripped her from my arms and now from my soul. Apart of me doesn't feel any different, I don't feel as if the bond I have with Halie has broken, but I'm so apprehensive at the thought that it makes me giddy and irrational. Ragna roars with anguish as he rips me from his hand that I had latched unto, taking a chunk of flesh with me as I roll, before hurrying back to my four paws. That molten feeling spreads through me once more, shoulders tense and pain radiates through every limb. Soon I wouldn't be able to control my actions anymore, but I don't want to. Not with this bastard. He walks around me going in circles and I watch him, my tail wagging excitedly. I've never felt this excited over a prey, not since the last time I had training with my father. The alarm that registered in his eyes when I tackled him to the ground, when I had only missed his main v
Her Beta Mate Solstice
My body feels heavy, like lead, my mouth dry and when I open my eyes, everything is suddenly too bright. I lifted my hand to my eyes, feeling my body suddenly spilling over and I fought to catch myself, hands pulling me backwards instead. When I finally open my eyes, it's almost noon, and I'm strapped to a chair, a cream-colored lace grown attached to my person while women placed the remaining decorations in my hair. My feet are bare, my shoes confiscated and if I run away by some weird chance, I wouldn't be able to get far. Flower petals and blossoms line the way to some final destination, children running around happily as if sealing my fate with a monster was a royal decree. Eventually someone releases the bands that keep my body and feet hostage and I hold onto the chair, standing up. "How was your sleep?" Ragna asks, his unexpected presence making me jump. "What did you do to me?" "Nothing that you didn't cause on yourself, " He says looking me over. His eyes slid down my body
Her Beta Mate Betrayed
I glance up and down the hall ensuring that no one sees me before slipping into the room, hearing a groaning wolf toss and turn in her bed. Gale had given me monkshood a few days ago and I've managed to get a little of it into the she-wolf's water. I know it poisons, but just enough will render her powerless for me to do what I need. The door slips shut with a click and I hurry over when she moves to sit up groaning and clutching his stomach. "What the hell are you doing in my room?!" Celene hisses at me. "Careful, you're already in a bad state, don't want to worsen your situation do you?" Celene grits her teeth at me from her position against her bed, glaring at me. "You're the runt that poisoned my water?!" "I'm the runt that could potentially cure you should you heed my instructions. " Celene laughs, throwing her head back against the headboard. "Oh you've got some balls on you, waltzing into my bedroom with ultimatums. Who says I can't just rip your head off and do the ceremo
Her Beta Mate Bro code
RIDER "Are we gonna talk about last night?" "No", I brushed Oliver's question to the side and kept walking, a scowl on my face. "Wait, " he grips my upper arm but I yank it away refusing to stand and talk. I already said no, he should just let it go. "Hey! " Oliver runs up blocking my path. "I get it okay. You don't know what to do about your mate, you don't know if you'll be able to save her. I get that. " "Really?" "Yeah, " he answers, either oblivious to the sarcasm in my voice or he chose to ignore it "No, no you don't get it. " "I'm a brother too, you know. I'm a part of the family. I get it. I'm the outsider between you and Jax. We all know you both grew up together. The only other reason I'm here is because Allison is my mate. So I get how you feel. It's the same way I felt when Jax took his sister away without even consulting me first. It made me feel insufficient, makes me question my role as the pack's Gamma. I wondered if he didn't trust me enough. But most of all, I
