Her Beta Mate   No one leaves
Qinn's heavy breathing lapped at my hind legs as we pushed forward, the forest quiet, only interrupted by the flash of lightening every now and again. Tonight was going to be completely horrible, I could feel it. The way my body tingled, and my fur stood on ends. For a moment the thought crosses of whether my mate was okay, it's annoying to think that she'd use the opportunity to try and escape in the midst of all this choas. A part of me wished I had stayed and watched over her. Then I berated myself for ever thinking like that. I was Beta. Our Alpha wasn't home. It was my duty to protect our pack at all cost. Mate or no mate. I could see our wolves holding the perimeter line leading to the first tier of the pack. I howled alerting them of our arrival but leaped over the fencing without stopping. 'Where are they?' 'A hundred yards out Beta, ''Quinn?''I got it.'The rain started amplifying to the ominous atmosphere around us, the smell of dried blood and dirt mixing in the air. W

"Do you hear all that?" "Yeah, " I respond from my position with my head against the bed. "I don't really care. " A terrifying howl breaks the hush and Moi stiffened while a chill runs down my spine. It's here? Whatever that thing was followed us here? "Halie!" Moi says slowly. "We're staying inside. We're safe here. " I'm telling her as reassurance but I'm not convinced myself. We should have left. There are more dangers here and in the forest if we stay and never go home. What if we never get home? What if we're stuck here? The fear of it all overwhelms me and I push away from my chair walking towards the window. The glass is cold against my touch, the horizon clouded in darkness. My eyes fall below seeing the scampering of people, Rider and other men I don't know. There's Allison too. I gasp. "Oh my god Allison!" I shout watching her screaming in pain as she grips Rider. He's worried too, barking orders as another rushes somewhere inside here. Another angry howl pierced t

Quinn stares silently but in utter shock. But I'm crazy, and frustrated for reasons beyond me, but it just can't be right. They left him? He's not back? My mind flashes to the slobbering animal that almost ate me and Moi. My chest tightens and I'm almost wheezing. After everything that has happened last night I'm not even sure here is safe anymore. "How....why aren't you worried? Why isn't anyone worried?" I ask Quinn gesturing to the staring people all around me. A small voice screams at the back of my head to just shut up! Shut up, sit and maybe pray that everyone would just forget about me. But I'm still standing, still freaked out about the ridiculous calm that's in this room. "We should do something, check to see if he's alright?" My voice is frantic and I'm blinking all over the room full of jitters. Quinn held onto my wrist as I attempted to move off, grounding me to the spot. "Hey, " He says softly. "I get it, but he's fine. " "Can't be fine. Not with those, those huge th

RIDER The last wolf snarled back at us from about one yard out, before rushing off with the others disappearing into the thickness of the trees. I'm breathing heavy, fatigued and partially overwhelmed. When was the last time I had sleep? Maybe a day ago? Dammit. We're all running short on fuel. "Should we go after them?" "No. Head back" I respond through the mind link, surveying the area one last time before leading the small group home. Once we've gone over the perimeter, I shift talking with a few of the other wolves, before giving instructions to the new shift that has come in. Everyone is exhausted. We had to keep out rogues last night, which as much as it isn't odd, is odd tonight. They attacked but none was serious about going through the perimeter, which meant they were probably testing our strength. Rogues were bad news all over and with the trouble we're already facing well, trouble doesn't exactly set up like rain does it? I settle on having a well deserved bath and defi

RIDER "Come with me, " Two guards left the small meeting, heading to where the new wolves from last night dwelled while the remaining two followed. I've made up mind. The safest way to do this was to keep both sets under surveillance, having watch and planning our next move. Sleep came rather late for me, but I've had enough time to think since then. My feelings had no place in this but I knew ...I knew I couldn't stay away. Selfishly I'm doing this to keep my mate safe. I might be able to get Jax to give her a lighter sentence, hell even get Allison on my side. Just something...anything that'll prevent me from loosing my mind. Halie sits in a chair when I enter the room. She's all I see, think and feel. She's everything. Though maybe the feeling isn't mutual. Her hazel eyes shift behind me seeing the men, and immediately she springs towards her bestfriend placing herself between us. "What's going on?" Moi asks, her hands hanging onto Halie's for dear life. They are fearful we ca
Last Updated : 2021-10-23Her Beta Mate   Decisions, decisions
RIDER I'm leaning against the wall unable to keep away from my mate for much longer. Everything is still the same. She won't talk to Moi and she doesn't move around. That's what's the last update have been. Halie isn't sleeping that much I know, her heart beat isn't that low but she's laying like the dead. When I open the door, Moi meets me a little jittery as she paused her pacing. "Hey Rider, " She says wrapping her arms around herself. "Any update?" I shake my head, glancing over at the girl still lying against the bed. "How is she?" Moi huffs folding her arms. "She hasn't moved an inch since she got there, " Moi explains. "Hasn't even bothered to eat and won't even talk to me. She's being petty. PETTY. " Moi takes a breath, looking disheartened "See, " Moi continues. "I've been teasing her all day and she won't even respond. " "And she won't eat? When was the last time Halie ate?" "Breakfast. But that was hours ago. " I turn gazing at the stubborn woman taking a step bef

I'm over one hundred percent sure what we're about to do is the stupidest thing anyone could've ever done. But it's the only thing that would ever get Ammoy to just STOP talking. Literally, she's worst than a feeding mosquito when ever she decided to be annoying and then she has the gall to accuse me of being petty. Unbelievable! The large goons we have as guards follow us at every step as if we're the problem and that they, more than likely aren't the threat that will eat us alive. Moi is nervous figetting about- which serves her right. This was her decision. She was the one thinking Rider wanted to know what happened to us in the forest..which I doubt was what he was really asking about. When we make it outside near something that look like a dojo or training area, we find Rider looking very hot in all black which definitely makes him a lot more sexier than usual. But that's besides the point. There are many highlighting qualities about Rider that's hard to ignore. Like the fact th

I'm pacing around our room while Moi sits watching me. My feet always ends up returning to one place. The window. I'm nervous maybe a little bit weary. I don't know why I'm on edge this much, I'm never like this. Well I'm never hunted by animals or men either so I guess my anxiety only compensated for what I feel. Chewing away at my last finger, I make my way towards the door. I'm making another bad - okay horrible decision but mistakes were made to be made and well I know me better than anyone else. There's no way I'd be able to sleep through the night. "Wait, Halie, " Moi stands folding her arms staring at me apprehensively. "Do I wanna know what you're up to?" "Maybe not. " "I don't know anything, " She says walking over to the bed. "You don't need me to tell you this is a bad idea do you? " "Not really, " I sigh opening the door. "My mind is fuzzing Moi. They're out there and we're here and I know he says it's good, but ugh!" I hold my head. "I promise I won't be reckless. "

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
