Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIX: LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS
Alisa woke up in a dark room, with nothing but a dim lamp hanging from the ceiling. Her wrists were still held by the cuffs, and she pulled uselessly while trying to break free from them. Her head fell back on the pillow behind it and she began to cry. Everything had gone wrong. She had gone from signing a contract to save Johnny’s life to lying like a prisoner of the state. The door swung open, and a huge figure she could not identify came in. All she could see was its form in the darkness, coming beside her. “Who are you?” She asked, her voice shaky. The figure made no reply but snapped the handcuffs off her hands as though they were made of wood. It then pulled her to sit up in the bed. “Do you remember me, Alisa?” It asked. She could not have missed the voice for anything in the world. “Elliott.” She whispered and then remembered in horror the image of the evil wolf she had seen in Jayden’s mind. He was evil, and she did not trust him. Having him snap her handcuffs off was s

Elliott came back to her and nudged her, as though to make her follow him. She did, and together they came to a lower point on the rocks that seemed to be a shortcut to getting to the floor. There, Elliott sat, and she waited next to him.The leaves rustled and one by one, large figures came out of the trees. They came from all directions and sat on the ground, and under the moonlight, she could see the wary glances that met her. Those positioned in the front were the largest, though smaller than Elliott. Behind them were even smaller wolves, which were significantly more than the larger ones. Alisa guessed they were the Omegas and Lunas, while the larger ones in front were the Betas.Two wolves came with Jayden between them, a black robe hanging off his broad shoulders. They had him positioned on a different part of the rock, far away from her and then stood by his side. She watched his face, anxiously waiting for him to turn and look at her, but he did not.Elliott went behind one o

“The next charge is the charge of the betrayal of the secret of the pack’s existence by Jayden Wells to his human lover. For witnesses, I will call on something that has been a fairy tale for a long time because of how rare they have to be used. I call on the Wolf Guard.”The wolves made noises as two more wolves came up to the rock. They were Betas and both disappeared before coming back to their human forms, clothed in red robes. They both joined Doctor King where he stood, all three of them. “The Wolf Guard, who have been very instrumental in keeping the secret existence of this pack safe, and known only to selected Betas. You are here before the pack to testify against Jayden Christopher Wells for the crime of the betrayal of the secret of the existence of the pack. Do you swear to say the truth and exactly what has happened?”The wolves began to make small noises. Many of them had never heard of this guard before, and those who had heard of them did not know that they were still

“Another charge brought against Mr Wells is the crime of trying to avoid justice. Since the Guard is still here, they will testify against him, and there will be no need to swear the oaths once again. You may continue now. How did Mr. Wells try to escape justice?”“First, he had tried to run off with the human but unfortunately for him, she fell into labour and had to be brought back to be delivered of her child. We then got ready to attack, but he came into the office and somehow knew what we were about to do—”“Yes. I told him what was going to happen. Five wolves against a Beta, a defenceless woman, and a baby wasn’t quite the sport. It wasn’t fair to them.”The men paused before continuing.“William Robin and I set after them,” the younger one continued animatedly as though it was a story to tell. “He bolted the door, morphed into his wolf form, and carried the human on his back. He then broke through the glass and ran into the woods, but a trail of blood led us to him.”Jayden exh

It took Alisa some time to realize that she had been holding her breath all along. She tried to, but her heart was racing in her chest and her hands were shaking terribly because she knew if Elliott died, she would die too. And wasn’t everybody in the pack supposed to be afraid of him?Elliott only stood and watched them as though they were children.“Is there anyone else who wishes to fight against me? I fear that five may be too few for me.” He bellowed. “I will not have the mercy I had on Alpha William Robin to let him go without killing him. All of you standing against me must try to kill me first because you will not live beyond this moment.”The man morphed back into his wolf form and Alisa saw that it had taken him a bit of effort, and even some more time than it took Jayden.Jayden for his part was unsure. Elliott would defeat any of them, but not when there were five wolves against him.The man came closer, the other four wolves coming up slowly behind him. Elliott simply ma

The bodies of the dead fighters lying all over the place was fair warning, and no one dared. Even the Guard did not so much as stir where they stood. “I must say... I have been too kind with everyone... here!” Elliott yelled, his words punctuated with deep breaths, and every syllable stamped with a downward sweep of his index finger. “The pack will have no say in this case anymore. I will judge as I see fit, and as I like.”No one said anything. They all remained silent, Alisa noted. They had seen that nothing would save them from Elliott, nothing but death.Elliott took in a deep breath and steadied himself before continuing.“You, Doctor King. Come forward. I will hear the truth from your mouths today.”The doctor was stunned, and it was evident in the way his eyes bulged out of their sockets.“I do not want to make a second call, King.”Doctor King nimbly stepped forward and came towards Elliott, who was still naked.“I charge you with the betrayal of a member of the pack. You sha
Last Updated : 2023-09-10Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER EIGHTY-TWO: THE TRUTH
“What truth?”“What happened to Mr and Mrs Grant? You know the truth.”There was silence. Even the chirping crickets seemed to be waiting to hear what it was. “Don’t make me do this, Elliott.” Jayden pleaded. “Do something else. But leave that part out.”“What is he talking about, Jayden?” Alisa asked. She stepped forward, suddenly immune to every feeling of fear she had felt before now, not caring about the wolves that now stood watching. “What skeleton is that?”“Please, Elliott.” Jayden pleaded once again.He had thought Elliott was beside him, trying to help him. But he could not pay this price if this price was one to pay. He turned to look at Alisa, at the way her hair hung wildly around her head and wanted to end everything. He had hidden this for long, unwilling to tell her, afraid of losing her. He had never known a truth so scary.Alisa too was afraid, but she wanted to know the truth as well. This concerned her parents, and hearing Jayden and her parents in the same senten

She awoke in a room she had never been in.By all standards, it was better than any place she had been in the last forty-eight hours— not in a hospital ward, and not in a room that seemed like a warehouse. The early morning sun’s rays came in through the large window and brought cheer to the predominantly white room; white curtains, white walls, white tiles.Amidst the cheer of the room, there was a dark feeling in her chest, and she struggled to remember as she sat up.Her baby!“Glad to see you awake, Alisa,” Elliott said, sitting in a high-backed chair that looked almost like a throne. His eyes were fixed on hers so powerfully that she wanted to turn away.What had happened the previous night seemed like a dream to her now, and she almost could not believe that all of it had happened, that she had sat through a wolf meeting and was still alive till now.“You fainted to hear that we had killed your child you had with the man who murdered your parents.”The words hit Alisa like a blo

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
