I loved this Beta too much Shades of gray
NOVAI stared numbly at the newspaper article with a header saying, "A just end for the wicked witch." I might have found it amusing if reading it hadn't filled me with raw bitterness. I saw the so-unflattering picture of me—a picture surely taken by one of my patients at the hospital—and a short statement below, telling that I had escaped from the prison after an attempted assassination of Alpha Heir's mate and that I died at the hands of lycans in the woods outside the Crimson Mountain Pack's territory.Then I flipped to the second page and saw a large picture of Felix and Lya. Felix's hand casually rested on Lya's back, and her hand delicately touched Felix's other forearm. They were smiling, resembling an ideal loving couple. More bitterness flooded me."They must have found your blood in the woods," Asriel speculated. "I wanted your scent to be found by the rebels…" He hesitated for a moment and then added, "I apologize."I peeled my eyes off the newspaper, my lips stretching int
I loved this Beta too much Proceed as planned
FELIXThat was the right thing to do, or at least that was what I told myself. I took Lya's hand, and we came to Rainier and Alpha Val to settle the wedding. I still felt a strange affection when I looked into Lya's eyes, but it was different now that I knew she was not my mate. It still puzzled me if she was aware of it though. She kept looking at me with her bright eyes, and I could almost feel the warmth each time her plush lips curled up, blessing me with a smile. Something pricked my heart every time I saw that happen. Unfortunately, telling myself that whatever I felt had been induced by magic wasn't helping. Distance helped. That was why I insisted on planning the attack as soon as possible.Perhaps literary running away from my problems wasn't the noblest thing to do, but according to Cassandra, the faking-bond spell had a limited life span. If I could avoid Lya until the spell lost its power, the problem would miraculously disappear. I couldn't wait for that to happen. Once I
I loved this Beta too much Doubts
FELIXI was standing several feet away from my brother. I didn't think he noticed me since his stare was shifted toward the trees where the hooded man went. I knew that the person in the wheelchair half-hidden in the shadows of the back entrance was Eric, but at that moment, he appeared as a stranger to me.His mouth was slightly curled into a dark smirk, but not even a sliver of a smile reached his eyes. They were blazing brighter and fiercer than he had ever allowed me to see. A powerful aura surrounded him, a sign of a true Alpha, an Alpha much stronger than his father. Anger whitened the knuckles as he curled his fingers on the armrests of his chair. This wasn't the balanced and calm Eric I knew. The man in front of me was a dangerous predator, waiting for the right moment to attack. Now I began to wonder which one of those faces was his real one.As much as I wanted to know what was going on, I knew that confrontation would have been useless. I doubted that I would hear the truth
I loved this Beta too much Who to trust
FELIX"Let's start from the basics," I said, straightening in my seat and watching Holden's mouth curl up. Holden was a ranked wolf, but from the first sniff of air around him, I knew that I could overpower him. He must have sensed it too. He must have also been aware that I could read the slightest change in the tone of his voice and the aura of his emotions, something I couldn't easily feel from Eric. That made Holden a perfect source of information since I would know if he tried to lie to me."What would you like me to tell you?" Holden asked, shifting in the chair to make himself more comfortable."It's a wealthy pack, but no one wants to tell me where the money comes from. I bet you know more than I do."He gave me a surprised stare, sitting still for a moment before he cleared his throat. "I was almost certain that Alpha Rainier told you at least about the pack's main source of income…"A dark smirk formed on my lips. "Well, he didn't... which I found quite odd, especially since
I loved this Beta too much Needed
NOVAI heard a painful roar. It burst inside my head and pulled me out of a deep sleep. I rose to sit in my bed with my heart pounding, and my skin covered with cold sweat. What the hell had just happened? I could tell myself that it was just another nightmare I had, but I couldn't be certain. What I felt was intense, as if someone had transmitted raw emotions into my head. I felt pain, both physical and mental, and a lot of anger. It shuddered through me and lingered in my chest. It tensed my muscles and tightened my throat. For a few long seconds, I fought for breath. And then the sensation faded away, leaving my body weakened and limp.I had no idea why, but my thoughts drifted to Felix. As soon as that happened, I shook my head and scolded myself. Why should I care for that bastard? He was the one who chased me away from his life. I bet that he was relieved that he could announce my death. He could carefreely focus on his mate, sleep with her, mark her…The sudden pain in my chest
I loved this Beta too much His side of the story
NOVAI returned to my chamber and slammed the door behind me. Fury flooded every inch of me, but I wasn't even sure why Maren's words irked me that much. Was it because she threatened me, or was it because she thought she could stake a claim over Asriel? The latter hit me with a strange realization. Did I… want Asriel for myself?"No…" I shook my head as a nervous chuckle broke through my throat. "I don't even know him, and I'm not just some bimbo he could mess with," I said, assuring myself. But it was more what I wanted to think, and far different from how my heart reacted as I thought about Asriel—it began to race.Shit. How was that even possible? Felix's name was still inked all over my soul, and getting rid of everything I felt needed time. I thought that there was no room within me to even consider filling my mind and heart with anyone else. Yet, I could have been wrong about that.I placed my hand on my madly pulsing chest. Heat washed over me time and time again as I stood by
I loved this Beta too much The Change
FELIXTen hours earlierThe rising sun assaulted my eyes as I opened them. My head pounded as if it was about to explode. I exhaled in a rush and gritted my teeth, trying to fight against the pain. What the hell happened last night?Squinting my eyes, I moved my head to the side, avoiding the violent light that fell through the window. The slowly resurfacing realization made me choke on my breath. Lya… She was lying naked next to me. She was asleep. We were both on the floor inside my room, covered by something resembling the shreds of my bedsheets. Fuck.I forced my muscles to move and lifted myself into a sitting position. The more I saw, the more frustrated and furious I was. There were a few drops of blood on the carpet and a few scratches on Lya's arm, definitely left by my claws. For some reason, they weren't healing. Why the fuck would I hurt her like that?!Once I asked myself that question, the faint images of last night began to fill my head. "The incense," I muttered, looki
I loved this Beta too much The Queen Bee
NOVAAsriel left an hour ago, and I hadn't left the bed since. My head was spinning. There was just too much to process, and too many what-ifs kept popping into my mind. The overwhelming amount of information felt like a heavy weight on my chest.I clenched my fists, trying to ease my struggle with breathing. It took me a while before I inhaled deeply enough to gently soothe my pounding heart. As the serenity came, I started analyzing what I had learned.Asriel told me that when he first came near Crimson Mountain, he learned that there were two factions: the first wanted justice and to avenge their dead king, and the other felt no loyalty toward Asriel's father. This other fraction cared only for money. Neither the core, the jades, nor the deal with Hecate had any true meaning to them. They couldn't care less about the shelter for witches. They were eager to find some kind of agreement with Alpha Rainier and sell the core for a share in the profit that came from the jade mine.Asriel
