Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER SIXTY-SIX: REVEAL
Alisa for her part, had never been so confused in her life, a confusion laced with fear. She had every reason to be afraid, as Jayden seemed to be. Anything that could make Jayden as scared as he was— a powerful man who was secretly a werewolf and whom she had never seen so much fear in had to be worth being afraid of.She opened her mouth to speak and the sound that came out was so hoarse and croaky she could barely believe it was hers. She cleared her throat and spoke again with a better result, only this time her voice was shaky. “What is going on, Jayden?” His face was stoic and hardened as though set in concrete as he fixed his eyes on the road in front of them that was covered in darkness, illuminated only by the headlights of their car. He brought the car to a slow halt and exhaling deeply, let his head fall on the steering wheel, his fingers shakingly closed around the steering wheel. A bead of sweat clung to his forehead as though for dear life. Jayden took in another dee
Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVEN: LABOUR
Alisa shut her eyes tight and tried to stifle her scream, but the pain was unbearable as it kicked her to life and made her forget about the terrifying wolf she saw. It lasted only a moment and stopped as quickly as it came.“What happened?” Jayden asked, stopping the car once again. He looked at her with genuine concern in his eyes.She was unsure of what had just happened. Her baby had kicked several times, and for nights on end, she liked to watch her stomach and the little parts as they pushed through her skin. Sometimes it was a little foot, at other times it was a hand, and then its head. That one always amused her, especially when she imagined her child morphing into a wolf form.But the pain was strange, and quick too. She touched her hands to the sides of her protruding belly lightly and shut her eyes, taking in a deep breath, trying to figure out if she would be fine. Her skin felt cold and she felt as though she was sweating, but the pain was gone and she figured she would
Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER SIXTY-EIGHT: NEW LIFE
Once again, Alisa was falling like in the nightmare that preceded Johnny’s unconsciousness. Once again, a wolf was watching her from above, and it was not the one with the blue eyes that had been watching her as she fell in the first dream. It was the frightening wolf with the blazing red eyes that Jayden had said was Elliott. She fell into the great darkness, falling farther away from the frightening wolf until she saw two blue wolf eyes down below, wolf eyes she knew were Jayden’s. Yes! Jayden had been the wolf in the dream. She had known him before even meeting him. He closed his eyes, turning off the blue lights that they formed and opened them once again, and he suddenly did not look so loving. He looked as though he was going to hurt her. His eyes shut again, and when they opened, they were no longer blue. There was a fire burning inside them and a beeping sound like a bomb she heard from nowhere in particular. The fire in his eyes then became an explosion that threw her bac
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
