Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER SIXTY-NINE: RUNAWAY
Jayden had stopped trying to be a man once he got in the Labour room. He let his tears flow freely as Alisa pushed until she got weak. Her eyes frightened him the most. Every time she was done pushing and let herself fall back heavily on the bed, she shut them so gently he feared they would never open again. Worse, darker things were waiting for her to birth her child, waiting like shadows in the darkness, and they were what he feared most. He had tried to run from them, he knew, but he ran too late. It had all started as a contract, but he did not want it to be over anymore. He wanted it to last forever. He, Alisa, and their baby. He knew he would have given anything to see Alisa smile like that again as he handed their baby to her. Worse, it scared him to think that he would see her smile like that for the very last time, so he hid his fear in the kisses he planted on her. He knew too, that she could tell that the love in those kisses were being crushed by a greater emotion, maybe
Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER SEVENTY: RUNNING
Jayden hit the ground with a thud that almost sent the both of them rambling into the grass that covered the soft earth, and he would if the sound of the other wolves coming after them did not reach his ears.The smell of blood filled his nostrils, and he was afraid that Alisa had been hurt, and that if he stopped she would fall off of him, so he kept running, leaping into the air as her arms clutched even tighter around his neck.He could smell the wolves coming after them too, but he was faster and gaining ground, leaving them behind him. A clearing that seemed to form a path came into the right side of his view, and he darted into it, still running hard, harder than he ever had in his life, harder than the way he did when he hunted the stag at the Lupercalia.They passed them and kept running, but Jayden knew he would not fool them for long because the wolves were following the scent of the blood that trailed them, and once they found less of it, they would know they had lost him.
Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER SEVENTY-ONE: THE SURRENDER
Alisa could not tell what exactly was wrong with her, because everything was wrong.A few hours before, she had been pushing in the Labour Room, giving all her strength. Now, she was on the back of a wolf, holding on to its neck dearly as it slowly ran towards the road. Between those hours and now, she had had a terrible nightmare, had jumped through a glass window while running away from wolves, and had left her baby behind—which she was beginning to loathe herself for. What kind of mother did that? Had seen a man twitch dead and naked right before her very eyes. But all she was really thinking about was her baby.Originally, it was all a contract, and she should have been preparing to say her final farewells to the child, disappearing from its life as though she never was. But now that she had birthed it, and fed it milk from her breasts, she did not ever want to let go.An ill sense of foreboding clouded her heart, as though something bad was about to happen to her baby, a bad fee
Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER SEVENTY-TWO: DOCTOR KING
Alisa was blinking her eyes open again, but this time it was not in a white hospital. It was in a place that felt to her like a warehouse, the skeletal rods that were lined where a ceiling should have been evidence of it. She was lying on a bed, cold steel handcuffs holding her to it. “You should rest, Miss Grant.” The doctor’s voice watched her in exhaustion. “You have been through a long night, and you will go through an even longer one.” And secretly, he hoped she would see more nights than just this one. She had only been a pawn in a game, and now he regretted playing that game, not with her eyes fixed intently on his here. She would have been a pawn and remained a pawn if a wolf with a penchant for breaking laws did not go farther than he had to. Of course, the Guard had watched the both of them all along, he included. Every spare moment Alisa and Jayden thought they had been sharing was secretly being watched by careful wolf eyes, and every secret conversation of theirs was
Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER SEVENTY-THREE: REVERSAL
A few blocks away, Jayden heard Alisa’s scream.He was sitting on the cold concrete floor of the cell, the evening sun filtering through the window and onto the ash wall, filled with several scratches from prisoners going mad from all the time they spent here.The cell was cold, but thankfully he was no longer naked, not the way he was when the Guard had taken him. He got up and went to the door of the cell, leaning on the cold bars. He had not been so alone in a long time. And helpless too, though the helplessness was a familiar feeling for him. Alisa screamed in a room not far from him but these bars stood against him, barring his movement.Where would everyone else be?His mother was being passed around from Alpha to Alpha like a slut, and Alisa was even more helpless than he was. Anita and every other worker of his were all humans, the wolf world common folklore to them— if the newspaper headlines did not serve to ignite curiosity. Somebody may have gotten a few shots, but the pa
Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER SEVENTY-FOUR: ELLIOT'S TRUTH
Elliott left Jayden and went to the room where Alisa was kept, and she lay asleep, her golden blonde hair falling carelessly on the bed. Strands of them covered her face, and he pushed them carefully away with his finger, noting how much her baby had taken after her.He peered into her face, thinking that in a universe with no Jayden, she would have been his. But Jayden was here, and taking the fall for him. In the record of the pack, no wolf had ever mated a human to have children before, everyone knowing the difference between wolf and human. Whatever relations created between them was formed at the Lupercalia, where hunts were made and Lunas joined in, mating the champions.Back then Elliott had known he was no one’s choice for a mate. He was a true Omega, as weak as a Luna, and secretly looked up to Jayden, wishing he was his successful young cousin, envied by the males and loved by the females. Successful in both the human and the wolf world, running a chain of businesses and bei
Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER SEVENTY-FIVE: DREAM IN THE CELL
He did not know when he slept on the cold floor, but as he sat up, Jayden could only think of the dream he had just had. A dream that had not come to him in so long that the memory was beginning to elude him.It was the white fur once again, her grey eyes looking at him, sadness reflecting in them. And this time, he was not in his wolf form, but in his human form. She ran off and he tried to morph and follow her, but he just could not, so he helplessly watched as she bolted away in the distance, leaving him behind.“Why do you come after me, Jayden?” He heard her voice ask. “You have ceased to be mine these past few months.”He was yelling her name when he woke up.Everything and everyone was leaving him alone. Including Avana. He did not want to be alone. He dreaded being alone, but now he was alone. He was born to be alone. First, his mother, then his father, then he ran off and was alone till he found Avana, but she was taken away from him too. In those years without Avana he had
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
