His Beta's Daughter C H A P T E R 81 - Gwen.
I took my hand off of Samantha’s forehead, relieved to find that she was not running a temperature, and that the fact that she was laying on the couch with her eyes closed, could actually just mean that she had actually just fallen asleep. As much as I knew that I needed to fret and fuss about her, I also knew that she was more than capable of communicating that she was unwell. I did not want her to feel like a child. I had just been about to go back to the kitchen to put away the food that I had made that she would now not be eating, but the front door opened, startling me to the point where I practically jumped through the roof. But as soon as I registered that it was Alpha Elijah walking through the front door, I could tell myself to relax - but that was something that was easier said than done. I had been on the verge of greeting him, but the words caught in my throat as I took in the expression on his face. I felt like it was safe for me to say that he was far from happy, a sto

As much as I would have liked to hang around, and to wait for a miracle to happen, I knew that the chances of actually being able to do so, were slim to none. With the way that Alpha Elijah had stormed upstairs, I could not help but think that he would not be coming downstairs any time soon. And that in itself, was the only reason why I was still here. I didn’t know whether or not it was a wise decision for me to leave Samantha here alone, when there was no guarantee that Alpha Elijah was here to look after her. As confused as I was, I was still able to think clearly and decide what was best for me to do because I was well aware of the fact that there would be repercussions for my actions. If I just decided to get up and leave, without saying anything to anyone, and Elijah had actually wanted me to stay here with Samantha, then I was going to be in deep shit. But if he had wanted me to leave, then it would be a lot simpler, because then I could still just get up and leave. It wouldn’

I made sure that I laid completely still, for I knew that a single move from me right now, would betray the fact that I was awake. The fact that I had even managed to fool them for as long as I had was a miracle in itself, but I was not about to look a gift horse in the mouth. The fact that I was overheating this conversation changed everything, created so many more problems than the ones that I had initially thought to be present. “You can go home, Gwen. Thank you for staying here and trying to talk to me about everything. I appreciate it. I just wish that it would have made me feel better about everything.” I could tell by the tone of Elijah’s voice, that he meant every word that he was saying. All of this was weighing heavily on his heart - that much I was certain of. But I could not help but feel like I was missing something - after all, why was this such a big deal? I knew that he would be bound to face countless judgements from his pack, but he was their Alpha. He would be abl

After the comment that Elijah had made, I did not really know what I was supposed to say to him, but luckily for my sake, it seemed like he considered this conversation between the two of us to be over and done with. It was either that, or he was simply just too desperate to get away from me out of fear that I would somehow start asking him questions about the very matter that he had been speaking to Gwen about. I knew that he was simply being paranoid, but that did not make it any easier for me to pretend that I did not know what was going on. There was a part of me that wanted nothing more than to be able to tell him that I had been awake and that I had heard everything that he had said. I wanted to tell him that I had taken a scent blocker to try and save myself from trouble, especially in the event that he was not my mate. But there was so much more that had fueled my need to save myself. And I knew that he would not be able to understand all of them, even if I explained everythi

I laid Samantha down on my bed, and even though I knew that it was going to raise countless questions when I called for a pack doctor, I did not really care for it in this moment. I was already going to have to deal with the fact that my Beta - her father - knew. What was one more person knowing going to do to me that wasn’t already going to be done? I understood that it might not have been such a big deal to any of them, if it hadn’t been for the fact that I was more than a decade older than her. That was the only ammunition that they had against me. But I had been without a mate for that decade. Could they blame me for clinging to the first person who I felt any form of attachment towards with all of my might? I stepped away from the bed, surveying her lying in it for a moment, and something inside of my chest started to ache painfully with the desire to go and lay there next to her. But it was a desire that I would have to fight for now, for there were other things that I needed
His Beta's Daughter C H A P T E R 86 - Elijah.
After I had gone to lay down next to Samantha, it had taken no more than a few minutes before I had managed to fall into one of the deepest sleeps that I had ever had before. Not once in my life had I ever slept as well as I had then, and I believed that I could have been sleeping for ages if it hadn't been for the fact that her body temperature spiked to the point where it woke me up. I had to deal with a few moments of confusion before I realised where I was and why I was there. And it was also in that moment that it dawned on me why I had woken up, and it was safe to say that any tension that had left my body while I had been asleep, was now back in full force. I could barely believe it. If I had a choice in the matter, I would have jumped out of bed in that moment and gotten a pack doctor here in an instant. But, as I had already managed to tell myself before, that was a decision that I could not make, for it was one that would ruin Samantha's image, one that would strip her of h

As much as his disrespect triggered me, I was forced to remind myself that there was no respectful way to have a conversation like the one that we were having. As a matter of fact, if I had been the one to find myself in this situation, I wouldn't have wasted a moment before skinning the culprit alive. But of course, Luke did not have the luxury of doing that, since the said culprit was me, and I was his Alpha. I had now put him in an unfair situation, and there was nothing that he could do about it. I had to admit, thinking about it in this manner made me feel somewhat bad for what I had done. But I hadn't done it with the intention of getting to him, or upsetting him. For goodness sake, I had found Samantha in that club long before I had even gotten any whiff of the fact that she was his daughter. I doubted that he would consider that as enough reason to move past all of this, and I didn't really feel like putting up with it either. As much as I would have wanted to move past all o

As much as I would have liked to put my mind at ease after hearing that from Samantha's very own mother, I simply could not bring myself to do so. It was like I was not going to feel any better until this day had passed, until Samantha had shifted and we had nothing to worry about. It was going to be something that was easier said than done, since I had no idea what the time was. It felt like this day was turning into a week, even though I knew that that was not the case. It just felt that way to me. "Well, if there is nothing else that you would like to share with me, then I believe that your reasoning for being here is gone. You can go back to your own home." I made sure that I started to make my way to the front foor once I had finished speaking, so that I would be able to open the door for them without being forced to face any difficulties, or without them sticking around here for longer than I needed them to. But of course, I should have known that it would not be as easy as

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

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
