Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER TEN: DESPERATION
“How will the artificial insemination happen if I am a virgin?” “Are you a virgin?” The doctor asked. There was a kind of caution in his voice that scared her. But whether she lied or not, he was bound to find out anyway. She decided to come clean. “Yes, I am one, Doctor King.” “Then all of this is a really bad idea for you, Miss Grant. First, we are not sure if you can carry a baby successfully if you have never had one. And as a virgin, I will have to break through your hymen if I have to inseminate you.” Alisa went blank. Between her, and her brother’s kidney transplant and $500,000 stood her virginity. “So right now, if I choose natural insemination, I will have to have sex with Mr Wells, and if I choose artificial insemination, you will break through my hymen?” she asked. “Yes, Miss Grant. That’s right.” “I am sorry I can’t go through with this, Sir. I quit.” “You what?” The doctor asked, his tone a tad higher. “I said I quit.” “It is done, then. We will find somebody e
Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER ELEVEN: DOCTOR KING'S OFFICE
Alisa gasped. “Every breath that Johnny takes is numbered and being counted down, Alisa. He’s dying and holding on to life with that dialysis. Last night, I was scared because I didn’t want you to come and meet a dead brother. I did everything you would have done, Alisa. I held his hand and kissed him and begged him to hold on.” “Oh, my God.” “All I need you to do now is to take his life into your hands, and go into Doctor King’s office and tell him you want the contract. Five hundred thousand dollars will be yours after it.” Alisa’s hand covered her mouth. If Stacy was right, then virginity was nothing. She couldn’t afford to lose Johnny. Her heart skipped several beats as she took off, nearly bumping into several sick patients until at last, she was right in front of the doctor’s office. Without thinking, she pushed the door open and the startled doctor’s eyes almost bulged out. “All he wants is a mother for his baby, isn’t it? I’ll do it.” Alisa spilled quickly. Her mind had
Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER TWELVE: GOING ON THE DINNER DATE
“He asked you to meet him at dinner or he asked you on a date?” “He asked me to come with him for dinner.” “Open your eyes, Alisa darling. Jayden Wells likes you. He could have just discussed everything with you there in King’s office, not invited you to dinner.” “But,” Alisa started. “He’s not like Elliott. He does not try to get my attention like Elliott does, or go out of his way to do things for me like Elliott.” “Observe him at the restaurant. I swear he likes you. In fact, go home and get ready. I will take care of Johnny for you.” Stacy offered. “I want to see him before I go.” They both went back to the ward, where Johnny lay sound asleep. Alisa kissed his forehead, and his eyes instantly came open. “I will be back, Johnny. Please stay strong for me. I will solve this problem for us.” “I know you will, Alisa,” Johnny answered, managing a smile. His words tore at her heart. They carried so much confidence in her. Alisa went back home and picked out her favourite dress,
Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER THIRTEEN: HOWLING TO HER TUNES
Jayden decided letting himself be free with Alisa would not be a bad thing to do at all. “I like how the colours of our clothes match. It’s almost like you read my mind.” “Or you read mine,” Alisa answered, turning to look at him. “I can read your mind, Miss Grant,” Jayden said, beaming a smile. Alisa concluded abrasive Jayden was wherever he went to when the real Jayden Wells was smiling. And she wanted to enjoy him smiling like this. He was gorgeous when he smiled. “Tell me how you would do that.” She grinned and turned to face him again. He cursed himself for not remembering he could not read human minds, only the minds of his fellow wolves, and then an idea popped into his head. Something he had noted mentally when he asked Maria about Alisa the day she fell in the pool at his house. “Think about your favourite place in the world. The place you always want to be in. I’ll tell to you once I’ve read your mind. Now close your eyes.” Alisa shut her eyes, and then Jayden’s atten
Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER FOURTEEN: THE END?
Jayden drove into the parking lot of the Meal Bites, a popular restaurant in Palm Springs City. He parked, turned to Alisa and smiled before turning and opening his car door to get out. He then went to Alisa’s side and opened the door for her, but she was stuck because she did not know how to unbuckle his seatbelt. He bent close to her and in one snap, she was loose. “Come with me, Miss Grant.” He said, offering her his hand. She took it, and once again his hand covered hers and led her into the restaurant. Once inside, everyone seemed to know him—waiters, customers, and all, and she blushed when she caught jealous looks from several women. They got to a table in the corner, and then he pulled out a seat for her. “Are you this chivalrous, Mr Wells?” Alisa asked with a smirk as she sat. “What do you think?” “I wonder if you are doing this just for me.” She said, sitting upright in her seat, her hands resting between her thighs, her eyes on him. Jayden smiled broadly and leaned b
Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER FIFTEEN: THE LUPERCALIA FESTIVAL
He stopped his convertible by a lonely side of the road all of a sudden, after driving leagues away from Alisa’s home at top speed and exhaled deeply. That had turned out to be harder than he thought. She was the first woman in three years to charm him so much, and if he did not leave, he would have forgotten all the cherished memories he shared with Avana. If he had to admit it, it hurt to leave her like he was never there, but it was a necessity. He did not want to forget about Avana and act like she never existed, and it seemed good for Alisa too. She would keep her prized virginity, and complications would never arise from his wolf pack if he had a baby with a human. This emotion was coming at the right time. He needed to morph into his wolf form. He let all the pain he felt on leaving Alisa to envelop him and exaggerated it until it hurt in his chest. He then used his sharp wolf hearing to try to determine if anyone was close by. Once he heard nothing, he jumped out of his
Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER SIXTEEN: THE HUNT
The Lupercalia festival held in Palm Springs City usually started with the Alpha telling the story about the origin of the werewolves. Most times, the Alpha was an extremely good storyteller, and so in the darkness which they could see comfortably in, the wolves formed a large circle around him. He stood in the middle of it as the Alpha, the Betas formed an inner circle, the Lunas a third, ranking between the Betas and the rank below them, the Omegas, the largest group which formed the outermost circle, all seated in their wolf forms. The wolves also differed in size according to rank, with the Alpha being the largest, the Betas following, and the Lunas and Omegas having the same size. The higher a werewolf went through the ranks, the bigger it grew. Werewolves rose through their ranks by performing extraordinary feats, so if an Omega performed a deed considered heroic to the wolf pack, it was agreed to elevate him to be a Beta, which was not something that happened all the while,
Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: THE WHITE FUR LUNA
Jayden moved closer to the white fur hidden amongst the many Lunas around him wanting to share in his kill as soon as he chose them. She stood there, unmoving and still yet watching him, her blue eyes steadily locking with his as she flipped her tail gently from side to side, her neck raised high like royalty, almost like she was waiting for him to come and choose her. He had never seen her before, and still yet this beautiful stranger was calling his soul to hers. Other Lunas had done several things to get his attention, had licked and come close to him, and she had done nothing but stand out. He went closer to her and brushed the side of his black fur against her white, enjoying the way the colours of their fur contrasted, black against white, his paws crunching the dried leaves on the ground as the light of the full moon shone on them. He tried to sniff her hind and detect her mood but she growled at him, causing him to move a step backwards. The other Lunas there had seen that

Her Beta's Heart EPILOGUE
TWENTY YEARS LATERIt still stunned Alisa that she was called the Mother of Wolves. You killed the one who killed the King, they told her when Jayden Christopher Wells breathed his last. He should have been King for winning the duel, but we had not honoured him yet when you killed him.Now she had three strong sons. Elliott Jr., who was now twenty-seven, Melissa and Elliott’s son Felix, whom she had adopted, and her third child.The one born because Elliott had deposited one last child in her before his death. For some reason, she had named him Jayden. The Jayden before him had had a good heart in his life but had let evil control him.So it was that Elliott’s son with Jayden’s name was the King of the Winter and the Spring in the end.The snow stopped when Jayden died, but it was known to fall from time to time, in its own season. Palm Springs City was no longer an all-spring city, but snow fell in it now.Humans were still oblivious to the wolves around them, even though the number
Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND ONE: THE RISE AND THE FALL
Alisa was close to jumping out of her skin when the cub wolf ran into her room.Its fur was black with streaks of white, but somehow she had recognised her son and was even more stunned to see him in a wolf form.Only...He ran off into the night and she had no choice but to follow, but not after throwing on a wolf skin cloak gifted to her by Elliott even though she had dreaded the wolf meetings. It did not worry her as much as the safety of her son did, so she followed, at least to keep him safe.But he was a wolf and she was a human, so she lost him and ended up wondering why she had followed him in the first place. She needed more protection than he did.He would have gone to the rock, she guessed, and Elliott would be there too. She had to be there, to see what was happening, so on and on she continued until she got to the rocks and saw even more wolves bigger than any she had ever seen at the Palm Springs meetings gathered at the foot of the rocks, all looking up.Atop the rocks,
Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED: BATTLE OF THR ALPHAS
Elliott ran towards the rocks after he had morphed into his wolf form, rage coursing through his body and pushing him to run faster.He remembered something Melissa had told him long ago when he went to see her in Snowfall one last time. It was about being king. “The King of the Winter and the Spring.” She had said, but now he was not too sure if she had told him the truth.The howl. Another wolf was here to challenge him.He was more powerful than many wolves, Elliott knew, but he did not know another wolf with a howl so loud. And the snow in the distance too. What signs were these?The rocks loomed high in the distance, and Elliott could see the wolf atop. His challenger. The one with the howl. All the snow he had seen in the distance melted before him once his paws touched the ground, and the place was back to looking as though no snow had ever been there at all. Only a slick wetness remained to show.He soon came up the rocks, catching the scents of other wolves from the other sid
Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER NINETY-NINE: THE ALPHA OF SNOWFALL
Jayden thought he would cry and fall to his knees when he saw Palm Springs City in the distance.The city was covered in darkness, a sheet of inky blue sky hanging above it, with yellow lights coming out of square windows. Behind him was the Moon, and it felt to him like a sign of favour from the Moon Goddess.He stopped at the border and took in a deep breath. For a moment, he doubted. He had returned home for vengeance, so he wondered why he felt the fear.Jayden took in a deep breath before he crossed the border gingerly as if expecting to have the ground swallow him when his paw touched the ground. But nothing happened for a moment and then...The wet loamy brown earth beneath his paw froze and small cracking sounds were made as ice covered the ground. He lifted his paw and there was ice under it. He was the Reincarnation of the long-dead Alpha of Snowfall, and now he had brought the snow with him to the city, a city that had never seen snow.His other paw touched the earth once a
Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER NINETY-EIGHT: ONLY A MOMENT
They were back on his bed, both reaching their climax at the same time. Alisa’s eyes locked with his as their lips parted from one last kiss, and time seemed to stop for them. She could feel nothing but him inside her, could hear nothing but the sound of his heart beating for her, could taste nothing but his kisses on her lips, could see nothing that was not his eyes and could smell nothing but his scent. All her senses were connected to him, and only him. His finger brushed against the strands of her blonde hair slowly, smoothening it. “Where have you been, my love?” She heard him say softly, as though she was a pigeon in his hand. “How could you see me and not know me, when I have loved you for so many years and through so many lives? Did you forget me so easily?” For some reason she could not explain, she wanted to cry. “I am sorry.” She whispered in response, not knowing why she was sorry or what she was sorry for. All she knew was that she was sorry. “We have loved each ot
Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER NINETY-SEVEN: THE NIGHT
Alisa was watching her son cradle his puppy to his chest and plant gentle kisses on its head. It had grown considerably these past two weeks, and though it was still little, she knew it was going to grow big and strong.And for some reason, the puppy reminded her of Elliott. There was a certain shyness it sometimes showed that reminded her of how he used to act when they were together in school, and a certain playfulness too. Elliott had shown neither of both qualities these past few years, but well...“Can I go out to play, Mummy?” Her son asked, interrupting her thoughts.The sun was setting for the evening, and a mild breeze blew as an orange glow lit up the sky. Fine weather, harmless for her boy. “Don’t stay out for too long.” She warned him, but he was far away before she was done talking, carrying his puppy with him. The house was quiet once Alisa was alone, and it made her sad. She was trying to be a strong woman, but that was exactly where it hurt. She was strong, but she
Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER NINETY-SIX: KILLING AVANA
The farther away the wolves of Snowfall went from the beloved mountain they had lived all their lives on, led by their fiery leader with his unusually large form and bright blue eyes, almost bright enough to cast a blue shade on the floor, the lesser snow they found on the ground until all they saw was green, a new and uncomfortable sight to them as their paws and feet found it unfamiliar.They moved through the night, male and female, Beta, Omega, Luna, and cub, treading through the thick woods to avoid being spotted by humans and spending the daytime in caves or in hiding, taking the time to sleep. Hunts were done by night, with their leader Jayden bringing in the largest game, and for a pack where a man’s measure was by the size of his hunt, they could not entirely see any leader better than him.Yet, there was something sinister about him that they all feared. They had gone to sleep only to be woken by the most evil sound they had ever heard, and when they heard it once again, th
Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER NINETY-FIVE: THE REVELATION
It was so strange that it had to be a dream. It could not be real.He was lying on the floor of whatever place this was, that somehow had form to it like a small cell. It was a strange place; bleak, dark and foreboding, with barely any light in it even though he could see the four corners at the top, and how he could see in it was a miracle to him.Jayden was now sure he was dreaming because this place was as dark as the darkest hour of the night.He tried to get up and that was when he saw the form of Melissa’s body in the darkness, lifeless and far gone, and the memories of the previous night began to come back to him in the dream. He stood frozen with his mouth open and watched her sprawled body and the blood that stained the walls of the cell. Her stomach had been torn open, and her innards were spilling out.“I did that,” Jayden whispered to himself.“We did it.” A voice in his head answered him back in another whisper, and the sound echoed all around him, as though it was spoken
Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER NINETY-FOUR: MELISSA'S DEATH
“For five hundred years, those of us in Snowfall have remained under the frozen chains of the curse. While you who live in Palm Springs City are slightly less wolf than we are, with your smaller bodies and more time for your little ones to learn to morph, we remain here in the snow, waiting for the curse to break so that we can get the sunshine our fathers dearly wanted.”“And with one King over you all, a King from Palm Springs City,” Jayden added. His body was relaxed now. There was no enormous power struggling to come from his body. Melissa’s words had calmed him down.“Yes. All we want is the sunshine, and a happy place for our children.”“I will lead you there. I was to be King, wasn’t I?”“You were to be King. But many times, fighting to get what is ours only takes it farther away from us. Don’t you think so?”Jayden said nothing in reply.“Do you remember the first blood you shed, Jayden?”It had been Alisa’s parents. He remembered it clearly.“You like to tell yourself you we
