His Beta's Daughter C H A P T E R 88 - Elijah.
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

I had to admit that that was the last thing that I had been expecting Elijah to tell me. And even though I did not really want to admit it, I knew that it was quite serious. But I didn’t feel like it was a requirement for me to take responsibility for it or to try and iron things out - not when it felt like my head was about to explode, or like someone was trying to rip out my spinal cord. I knew that there were people who would believe me to be nothing short of dramatic, but in all honesty, it was something that I did not care for. The fact of the matter was that I was more than able of distinguishing the intensity of my own feelings and emotions. And if for some reason someone thought themselves to be in a position where they were able to decide whether or not what I was feeling was valid, then I would make sure of the fact that they were held accountable for any decisions that they proved to make. Although, as I was spiralling down this pit of hatred towards no one in particular,

I had to admit that I did find it difficult to leave Samantha alone, because I knew that she needed me. But there was just too much that was going through my mind, too much that I needed to process before I would be able to make an informed decision about what I was going to do next - because that was what needed to happen. Whether I liked it or not, I was going to have to do something about it. I couldn’t just leave this situation to pass until something happened, because that was asking for trouble. It was like I was opening the door to it and serving it on a silver platter. I was on my way to Gwen, but I had reached a point where I was no longer sure whether or not it was going to be a good idea for me to do so. As far as I was concerned, this was a matter that I neededd to handle on my own. But how did I do that when it was a matter that I considered to be a personal one, especially when Gwen had been fulfilling the actual role of being my Beta for the last few months while we ha

Even though I had been sleeping, I was instantly aware of the fact that there was someone who had come into my house. I almost couldn't believe it, I knew that I needed to act fats. There was a chance that whoever was in my house did not mean any harm, but even so, it was a risk that I was not willing to take. I was going to make sure that I was not caught off guard by what was happening. I knew better than to allow that. Luckily for my sake, my house was only one story, meaning that there would be no risk for someone to be hiding from me. After all, I knew my house like the back of my hand. "Gwen?" The moment that I registered that whoever was here with me knew me, the threat level descreased substantially. I did not know why there was someone here, especially not when today was my day off, when I had spent the whole night working in order to deserve this day off. I might not have been on duty in the same way that I initially should have been, but that did not change the fact that

I could tell by the expression on her face, that Gwen was having a hard time with what was going on. I could not help but wonder whether or not she had been sleeping after all, despite the fact that she had been by me mere moments after I had come through the door. But perhaps she had been under the impression that I was an intruder. It would serve as a good explanation for it. “Why would you need a warning?” I decided that I should have started off by telling Gwen the full story of what had happened. It might not have been an ideal, but it would have meant that she would have understood what was going on without leaving me feeling as frustrated as I felt now. “Remember, I called you to find out whether or not you had spoken to Luke? Well, I hadn’t actually phoned you for that, but do you remember?” How could she not remember? After all, I had also roused her out of her sleep when I had phoned her for that, and she had been perfectly capable of reporting what was going on to me. S

Even though I didn’t want to admit it, I knew that Gwen had a point with what she was saying. The only way that I would be able to get to the bottom of this, would be to go to his previous pack, and take matters into my own hands. But I knew that doing that carried a big risk in itself, especially since showing up in another pack was something that could be considered as an attack. But what choice did I have? All that I could hope for, was that I would be able to explain myself. It was as simple as that. “What do you suggest I do?” Considering the fact that Gwen was the one who came up with this solution, I guessed that the best thing for me to do, would be to find out what else she thought of in that moment. I wanted to consider all of the possibilities, and I wanted to make sure that I did not leave a single thing to chance. Especially not when Luke needed to be watched like a hawk. “I suggest that you do not travel by vehicle. You’ll get there faster if you shift, and travel tha

When Alpha Elijah left my house, it was something that I was incredibly grateful for. He might not have understood the urgency regarding the situation, which was something that I considered to be quite difficult to comprehend, since he was the one who had come to me because of this problem in the first place. Surely, he knew that he could not be wasting time, just standing around here when he could already have left. But, I understood why he wanted to go and tell Samantha that he was leaving. We might not have been given any solid indication that the two of them were mates, but the more that I witnessed the two of them together, the more accepting I became that it was the norm. I would be more surprised if the two of them didn't end up being mates, than I would be if they were. I just hoped that Samantha wasn't taking advantage of their bond and using it for her own personal desires. It was something that had crossed my mind earlier, and I had known that it would only be a matter of

I could not deny the fact that my mind was running at a mile a minute, trying to figure out what I was going to say to Samantha, and how exactly I was going to deal with what was going on. I knew that I needed to handle the situation carefully, even though I didn't feel the need to be cautious around her. If I had a choice in the matter, I would have taken her with me. But I knew that doing something like that would only make my trip to her previous pack harder than it was already going to be. For starters, she would slow me down considerably. As I approached my house, I could not help but wonder how Samantha would react to the news that I was going to be leaving. Would she be happy that I was going to be gone for a few days? Or would she feel the same ache in her chest at the prospect of being seperated from me, just as I felt for her? I hoped that it would be the latter of the two options, for I did not think that I would be able to deal well with the fact that she did not even fee

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
