His Beta's Daughter C H A P T E R 32 - Elijah.
I knew that I didn't have any real reason to worry, and yet, it felt like it was the only thing that I was capable of doing at this point in time. I had faith in the fact that Gwen and I had managed to plan everything as it should be planned, that we had managed not to overlook everything. But honestly speaking, that was not what I was afraid of. Not even in the slightest or most remote manner. The part that I was so worried about, that I couldn't seem to get out of my head, was the fact that there was still no sign of Samantha arriving. I tried to take comfort in the knowledge that I had sent Gwen to collect her, and that it was unlikely that Samantha would be giving her a hard time - but then again. I had no guarantee of that. As much as I wanted to pretend that the two of them were capable of getting along, I knew that the risk of them pulling out one anothers' hair was just as great. After all, had they not proved that they were equally capable of that this morning? "Alpha Elija

It was safe for me to say that this was not even remotely what I had been expecting to find here, and I think that it was something that Gwen had been able to pick up on. I had to admit that I didn't entirely know what else to expect, since the packed crowd was already enough of a shocker. Gwen seemed to be more than relaxed with our surroundings, weaving her way through the crowd while I desperately tried to keep up with her without upsetting anyone around me. It was something that seemed to be much easier said than done, and it was a lesson that I made note of. "I would like to start off by thanking all of you for gathering here on such short notice. I know that all of you were bound to have plans already, but hopefully this celebration will be enough to make up for it." As much as I would have liked to tell myself that I hadn't known that Elijah was walking onto the stage, that I hadn't known that it would only be a matter of time before he addressed the crowd, I knew that I woul

Samantha was making her way off of the stage, and I could not help but feel like there was something going on with her that I was missing. She didn't look herself, and I had a feeling that she wouldn't act normally if she was put on the stop either. I was torn between continuing wih the ceremony and going after her to make sure that she was alright, but in the end, it was my sense of duty that came first. Whether I liked it or not, I was going to have to stay here and finish this ceremony. What I did in my free time after that would be my own business, but for now, Luke needed to be initiated into the pack as my Beta... I just hoped that Samantha was going to be alright, and that there was not something that was seriously wrong. I didn't think that I would be able to fair very well if that were the case. So, I decided to take the only precautionary measure that I could think of, but it happened to be one that I considered to be foolproof. 'Gwen, I need you to go and make sure that S

When I had seen Samantha walk off of the stage, I had noticed the very same thing that Alpha Elijah had noticed. She hadn't seemed like she was 100% certain of her surroundings, like she didn't even know what was going on. I had brushed it off at the time, telling myself that there was nothing for me to be worried about. It was absolutely normal to be overwhelmed when being initiated into a new pack, and I had pinned it all on that, but now I was being forced to acknowledge the possibility that that was not the case in this situation. After all, why would Alpha Elijah have asked me to go and look for her? Had he noticed something different on stage, something that was worse than your average feeling of being overwhelmed? If he had, then I had no idea what I was dealing with, because I had been watching her the entire time. She might have been forced to leave my side, but she had never left my sight. IIt had been after the conversation with her parents, when she had stepped onto the

Despite the fact that I was doing my best to mingle enough, as to reach a point where I was not so aware of Samantha's absence, it wasn't working. Every time that I started speaking to someone, I just became more and more aware of the fact that they were not her, and that it wasn't likely that I would be able to speak to her for the duration of the evening because she wasn't even here to start off with. Gwen also hadn't returned yet, but I had been lucky enough to recieve some feedback from her earlier on. 'I've found her. She is safe, and she is alright, but it seems like she needs to rest. I doubt that she will be returning.' Not knowing what else to do in that moment, I had merely accepted it, despite the fact that I had known that it would bother me the whole night. But it was too late for me to have regrets about it all now. Whether I liked it or not, I was going to have to suck it up and speak to my pack members, regardless of whatever mundane thing they deemed important enoug

"Do you need me to stay here with you?" Despite the fact that I knew that this was the last place that Gwen wanted to be, I had to admit that it was quite nice of her to offer to stay with me. I knew that I was in no position to accept her offer, but it was the thought that had counted. She had known that there was a chance of me accepting her offer, and yet, she had disregarded her own wants and still offered it to me. I doubted that I would have had the courage to do the same. I was too selfish for that. But then again, it was starting to make sense to me why she was the Gamma. After all, the Gamma needed to care for the pack almost as much as the Alpha and Luna did, whereas a Beta, was nothing more than a glorified enforcer. And that was exactly what my father was. Gwen suited her role in this pack, and I was fully convinced that she would just get better and better at it. "No, thank you. I appreciate the offer, but I believe that I'll be alright." We were currently standing ou

MIdnight came and it went, and it didn't seem like there was any hope of anyone going home just yet. I was starting to feel my own exhaustion set in, and in all honesty, I wanted nothing more than to go home. I knew that it was something that wasn't possible at this point in time, but there was nothing that I could do about it. I only wished that I would somehow be able to chase all of them home. After all, what more could they have to do here? Yes, all of them were laughing and socializing with one another, but since when would they not be able to do that tomorrow, during the day? Why did it have to happen now? I had just been on the verge of losing hope when I noticed Gwen walking towards me through the crowd. If I had to take a guess, based on the way that she was reacting, I could not help but feel like she had had her fair share to drink. It was something that I found rather odd, as I had been under the impression that she had gone home, or that she was with Samantha. I hadn't

I opened the front door with ease, and I let out a sigh upon the discovery that it was open. I didn't know what I would have done if Samantha had locked it. I assumed that she would have gone to sleep already. I didn't even want to know what the time was. I could tell that the sun was threatening to rise on the horison, which led me to believe that I was well into Sunday. It felt like I was about to fall asleep at any moment now, like I could no longer keep myself awake. I didn't even think that I would manage to make it all the way to my bedroom. At this point, with the way that I was feeling right now, I was convinced that I would need to be moved with a crane when I went to sleep. And I thought that I would go and sleep on the couch. After all, it was right here and it was out of the way - the only problem with that idea, was the fact that Samantha was already sound asleep on it. The television wasn't on, which made me wonder whether or not it had been her decision to sleep here.

Hello! I'd like to thank all of you for reading this story as far as you have, and I hope that you have enjoyed it thus far. Please note that we have now concluded with Book 1! Can you believe it? It feels like it happened in the blink of an eye. I would like to encourage all of you to read Book 2, which will pick up exactly where we left off. It will be free for an extended period of time (I thought that might be better than keeping this book going). The title is: The Alpha's Heir Let's hope that that doesn't give too much away!

Once I heard his voice, the sound carrying as clearly through the air as if he had been standing right beside me, I could not keep myself from stepping to the side, from looking past my father, who had turned around to face him. It seemed like the statement had been just as shocking to him as it had been to Gwen and I, because neither one of us had been expecting Elijah be back here as soon as he was. It was safe to say that I was in shock. I did not know what was happening, but even though Elijah was quite some distance away from me, from all of us, I could not help but pick up on the magnetic pull that I had towards him. I didn’t know why I hadn’t been able to pick up on it before, but then again, for all I knew it had something to do with the fact that my father had been here, that his dominating personality had forced me to do nothing more than sit here and listen to what he had to say. As Elijah continued to close the distance between himself and us, his scent started to drift

“Where is Alpha Elijah? Is he deliberately avoiding me, or do you have something to do with it?” My heart felt like it was sinking into the pit of my stomach, my father’s presence on the front porch being more than an overwhelming factor. And what made the situation so much worse, was the fact that he knew that he had the upper hand here, knew that there was a certain effect that he had on me that would always be superior. And all that I could do in that moment, was to freeze and stare at him in disbelief.Thankfully for my sake, it seemed like it would not be necessary for me to do much else other than to be present, because Gwen appeared beside me, seeming to be more prepared for what was going on than I was. I could not help but be thankful for the fact that she was intervening in the situation, because there was no way in hell that I would have been able to handle the situation. “Beta Luke. I must say that I’m rather surprised to see you here. Did Alpha Elijah request to see you

I got out of the bathtub and wrapped a towel around my body, feeling the ache that was starting to set into my bones due to the run that I had just been on. Gwen had put me as a patrol check, which meant that I had to make sure that all of the deltas that she had assigned to the border patrol squads, were there. And thankfully, up until now, there had been no one who hadn’t been where they had needed to be and I had to admit that it was something that made me feel quite relieved. I knew that it would only be a matter of time before Gwen arrived here in order to find out if everyone was where they were supposed to be, and in all honesty, I hoped that it would take her much longer than I thought it would. I wanted to be able to get to my room, and at least get into a clean set of clothes. After all, if I was dressed and comfortable, I would be able to lie to anyone who came here looking for Elijah. Lying to the pack was something that was becoming harder and harder, but between Gwen, M

There was a knock on the door to the room that I was in, and even though I had been half asleep, it was enough to wake me. And, it seemed like my visitor did not need permission to come inside, for the door just opened, before I had the chance to make myself presentable. Even though I must have been sleeping for quite some time – why else would it be dark outside? – I didn’t feel like I had been resting at all. It just proved how exhausted I actually was, but I had just been ignoring it instead of addressing it.My guest turned out to be no one other than the Alpha’s son. And he looked a lot more presentable now, than he had been before. I had to admit that it was something that I was thankful for, although I could not tell him that. I doubted that he would be very happy or impressed with me if I were to make a comment about his earlier lack of attire. I knew how to pick my fights, and picking ANY fight while I was here, would be like signing my death

All too soon, I found myself following the boy - who seemed to be quite comfortable with his nakedness - through their packlands - and it was safe to say that I was starting to understand why it had been possible for them to have so many wolves on patrol. Their pack was larger than anything I had seen before - twice the size of mine, with even less space. It was something that made me feel rather uncomfortable, like I was walking through a suburb instead of a town. They seemed to be unphased by it, but how could they be bothered by something that they lived with on a daily basis? I was keeping quiet as I walked behind him, for I was painfully aware of the fact that he was not the person whom I needed to be speaking to at this time. There were two other wolves walking on either side of me, both of them seeming to be more than prepared in terms of defense. It was almost like they were waiting for me to do something, like they wanted a reason to injure me. I, on the other hand, did not

I had been running for what felt like an eternity, but I knew that it would only be a matter of time before I reached the Northern Pack. It had not been an ideal route that I had taken, but I knew it to be the fastest one, and luckily for my sake, I had not come across any problems along the way - and by problems, I meant rogues. It was a small mercy that I was incredibly thankful for. But I knew that it must have been because the Moon Goddess had mercy on me, because she knew that I was going to have quite a hard time when I entered that pack. I would be under attack as if I was a rogue, and the only way for me to prevent that, would be to speak to them and tell them who I was.But even so, Samantha had warned me that even though her father had left the pack, he still had more than enough members in the pack who acted as spies for him. I did not want information about my research to get back to him before I managed to get back to the pack. I wanted to be there to confr

I could tell that my statement had caught him off guard, because his eyes widened slightly as he looked at me. I had to admit that it was a rather satisfying sight to see, and I could only hope that I would somehow be able to keep my composure while I spoke to him. If he started to challenge me, I was sure that I would struggle, but until then, I was going to be brave about it. I sent a silent prayer to the moon goddess, asking her to make sure that I had the strength that I would need to stand up to him for as long as I possibly needed to. ‘What did you just say?’ The shock in his voice was as vivid as it was on his face, and I knew that he was not going to like what I was going to say to him. But that was the point of it, was it not? I was disobeying him, and it wouldn’t be for the first time. The only thing that made this different, is that it was actually upsetting him this time around. And I wanted to know why. ‘I said that I’m not going to listen to you. I’m not going to stop
His Beta's Daughter C H A P T E R 119 - Samantha.
I found myself standing outside Elijah's house, watching it from a distance and finding myself to be rather indecisive. I did not know whether or not I was supposed to go inside, or whether I was supposed to go back to Gwen's house. I knew that it would not really matter where it was that I went, because no one would be able to tell that that was where I was, but it was merely one of those things that I had no control over at the moment. The only way for that to change, was to wait it out. And whether I waited it out here, or in Gwen's house, I doubted that it would matter. As long as I was somewhere where I could be found, I doubted that it would be much of a problem. I wanted nothing more than to be able to shift back, and take a bath - I could feel the dirt between my toes and the sand in my fur, but I also knew that the chances of me being able to do that, were somewhat slim to none. I would need to wait until someone could explain to me how I was supposed to shift back. And unt
