Chapter 4: A Beta's Heart
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"Paul… He’s an Alpha."
"And you’re my mate. I will die trying."
She raised her gaze at me and her eyes started to water. "You left me. And I tried looking for you, but I didn't find you. So I moved on."
"Will you let me explain why? It might be a shitty reason, but hear me out first."
"I love him, Paul. And what I feel for you right now, might just be the pull of the mate bond. So I don’t know…"
"Four months. I have four months. Give me a chance. And if by then you still want him, I will let you go."
She was biting her bottom lip so hard.
"Alba…"
She nodded her head and offered me a forced smile. "Okay. But I don’t want you to expect anything…"
I smiled at her, my hand raised to cup her cheek, letting my thumb brush her soft skin as sparks traveled everywhere in my body. "No. Finding you tonight was something beyond my expectations. I’m not going to expect anything, but I will not let you go without a fight."
She raised both her hands and grasped my hand on her face, pressing it more to her cheek, something I wasn’t expecting her to do after what she just told me. "Thank you. I wish you hadn’t left that day. Maybe things could have turned out differently."
"You’re not going to avoid me, right? You will agree to see me so we can talk and I can explain?"
She nodded her head, her eyes still closed as she reveled in the feel of my hand on her cheek. "But I will tell him about you. He deserves to know."
"Who is he?" I asked, preparing my heart to hear the name of the man she loved.
She took a deep breath before she opened her eyes and guided my hand away from her face. "Alpha Marco’s son. The next Alpha of the Midnight Pack."
My jaw tightened as my hands coiled into tight fists.
Alpha Marco is the head of the council. Their fathers were both high-ranking members of the council, so it was no surprise that they were together. And with the whole council behind him, I felt like a fucking ant in a massive forest.
I closed my eyes and steadied my breathing.
"Lucas. The young Alpha Lucas." I mumbled his name. I knew fully well that he was a good man. I couldn’t find any reason to loathe him aside from the reality that he holds my Alba’s heart.
"But… but.. Paul." She was stuttering, and my eyes immediately fluttered open. "You’re not backing down, right? You will still try? We will try?"
Despite the pain coursing through my body, my mouth twitched into a wide smile the moment I heard 'we' leave her lips. I have a chance.
"I will try to win you over, mate. And I will win." I told her cockily before flicking her perfectly shaped nose gently with my finger.
I was trying to sound brave. I needed to man up, make up for being a coward three years ago.
She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms against her chest, but she was smiling. "So cocky! We will see. I’m not easily impressed."
"I can tell that. Can I kiss you?" I blurted out the last part before I could think about it. I knew I was pushing my luck too much.
Her eyes widened as she stepped back away from me. Her eyes darted to the unconscious Alpha on his bed before she looked at me, her eyes narrowing. "I have a boyfriend."
I scratched my head and smiled at her awkwardly, hiding the feeling of embarrassment about being turned down. "I know, I just thought I could try. I guess I have exhausted all my luck already."
She looked at me confused, with her eyebrow hiking up, but I didn’t clarify more.
I knew I had a long shot of winning her over, but the fact that she was giving me a chance was enough. I was expecting her to bolt out in my presence, but she did the exact opposite tonight.
"I have to go now. We have a lot of things to do. But I hope I can see you before Alpha Riley is transported back to his territory."
Her face dropped, and it might have been because of Alpha Riley’s condition. I didn't want to have high hopes.
My heart ached as I raised my hand, curled my finger, and brushed her soft cheek again. "It was nice to finally meet you, Alba. Axel was happy to see you, perhaps next time we can meet your wolf as well?"
I didn’t wait for her to answer. I turned around the moment I stopped talking because my eyes were starting to water. I didn’t want her to see me at my weakest.
I dragged my feet towards the door and as I was about to reach for the handle.
She spoke. It was almost inaudible, but my werewolf hearing allowed me to hear everything clearly.
"If we kissed, you’re not going to tell anyone that we did? Will you?"
It was all the push I needed to hear.
In seconds, I was already back in front of her, my hand coiled on her nape, and before she could say anything more, I crushed my too eager lips into hers, pressing her back against the cold wall.

ALBA. "If we kissed, you’re not going to tell anyone that we did? Will you?" I didn’t know why I said those words, all I knew was his scent was intoxicating me, putting me in a daze and I wanted nothing but to feel his body against mine. And his lips. I’ve been wondering the whole night how it would feel to have a taste of him. At this point, I knew I should be worried about Riley or about my boyfriend, Lucas, but I didn't know why all my thoughts were about Paul. I couldn’t help it. And I couldn’t stop my desire for him. In seconds, I felt my body being moved before my back was pressed against the cold wall. Paul’s arm was coiled against my waist while his other hand was holding the nape of my neck before his lips crashed into mine. Sparks. There were too many sparks, and I felt my body was about to explode at the intensity of his touch. And his kiss. It was too much for my aching core. I parted

PAUL.Alba and I didn’t get any more time alone before Alpha Riley was taken back to his territory. I just told her I would be visiting her one day and she was okay with it, but she wanted me to inform her ahead of time.I didn’t ask why, but I knew the answer.Lucas. Lucas might be around, and that would be awkward. Although I would love to face the man that captured her heart, I know it would put her in a vulnerable situation if she saw us at the same time.And that was the last thing I wanted. As much as I hated that she was with him, her feelings would always come first.And as much as I wanted to go see her, I couldn’t.My pack was still recovering from the recent rogue attack.And although we didn’t lose anyone, the pack that extended their help lost some of theirs. And we spent the next few days sending help to the families that were left behind. Many of the old and new buildings were destroyed during the battles. Although some of the structures will not be rebuilt, the rest ha

ALBA. I dropped the receiver back in the cradle and leaned my back against the soft cushion of the couch I was seated on. It was Lucas on the other line, and he asked me if I would come over to his house, which was just across the next territory after ours. It has been our routine to meet up on the night of a full moon and do kinky stuff. I'm a very sexual female, and I would not deny that I have always looked forward to spending the full moon with Lucas for over a year now. Except for tonight. I told him I wasn’t in the mood and that I would rather stay home. I just didn’t have the urge to see him. In fact, I haven't seen him since I returned five days ago from Riley's territory. I was lucky that he was busy as well, so he didn’t make a big fuss about us not seeing each other for over a week now. I was actually lucky to have Lucas. He has been nothing but a blessing since we became together, and I was su

PAUL.I stood at the border of the Green Valley Pack waiting for Dawson to show up. He was the third son of Alpha Vesmont, the Alpha of this pack, and I met him when I attended a function years ago when I was still being trained to be the next Beta of my own pack.And I was hoping he would remember me.Because, other than him, I would never get a chance to enter their territory, especially since his father and Alpha Caspian were not on good terms.A loud screeching sound from a pickup snapped me back to the present. A beat-up truck approached the border with a number of rowdy males standing by the truck bed. The driver just honked and they were let out of the territory without any questions."Are they drunk already? Is there a party inside?" I asked the man guarding the border at the moment."Looks like it. They’ll probably head off to a bar on the other side since the party is almost over at the pack house and they di

PAUL. We just reached the basement of their pack house, and although I received stares from some of the males and females upstairs, no one dared approach or ask questions since I was with the Alpha’s sons. Not that I cared at all. I just ignored them. I was only here for Alba. And now my heart was thudding, fucking too loudly. I badly wanted to see her, but I had no idea what I needed to do. I told Trent I would just be holding her and I would try to hold on to that. The last thing I wanted was to take advantage of her heat, and I was hoping I could control myself. This was about Alba, not me. I reminded myself and Axel. And like a gentle wolf, Axel agreed, and it was enough for me. It would be easier for us with him being in sync with my goal. "Stay here." I stopped walking as my eyes darted to Trent’s hand on my chest before returning my gaze to his face. He was pushing me to the corner where I wouldn’t b

ALBA. The moment I saw Paul, all the pain I was feeling at the moment vanished into thin air. I actually didn’t know if I was seeing him for real or if I was hallucinating. But regardless, I still got pissed off because my brothers didn’t tell me that he was here. And now, he saw me in the worst condition. What would he think of me? I dashed down to the bunker, hoping to find the clothes I had stripped off of myself, hoping that they were still decent to wear. My eyes were still scanning the messy room to look for my clothes when a sudden pain erupted in my navel and heat started to rise up everywhere in my body. It's coming back again. "Argggh..." My hands clutched my stomach as my body faltered and I dropped to my knees before I stumbled and fell to the floor, right where my blanket had been flung earlier. Sweat formed on my forehead as the scorching heat took all my senses again. My eyes blurred as I fought th

PAUL. I woke up with Alba wrapped up in my arms. We didn't even make it to bed. And even if we just slept for an hour or two, I thought it was still the best sleep I ever had in my life. We awoke in the middle of the night, and I pleasured my sexy nymph once more. And I had to jerk myself off again after she fell asleep. I badly wanted to fuck her, but I was using all my restraint not to. So I just satisfied myself by running my fingers over her skin, letting my eyes memorize her perfect, naked body. I knew I was taking advantage of her this way, but I didn't know if I would ever have a chance like this with her again. So I wanted to engrave everything about her in my memory. I pulled her body closer to mine, hugging her tightly before placing a soft kiss on her forehead as I let her scent invade all my senses. Alba. I hope I can say that she's mine. But I knew better. I glanced at my wristwatch and saw it was

PAUL.I followed after Trent, not really minding the path he was taking. I was just following him like my body was on automatic control while my mind was still flying back to Alba.I have so many regrets, but none of them matters now.I was in pain, but it was nothing compared to the pain Alba must be feeling right now. Maybe I should just let her go. Maybe she would be better off with Lucas.Lucas could make her a Luna. She was fit to be one. Whereas I could offer her nothing.We finally reached the outside of their pack house, where a car awaited us. I slipped into the passenger seat as Trent sat in the driver’s seat.We had already driven for five minutes in complete silence before he started talking."I don’t want to know what happened last night between you and Alba. It’s none of my business, but I just want to know if you had time to explain to her why you left her three years ago.""I d

THROUGH THE EYES OF MY ALPHA Life has never been good to me. And just when I thought life couldn’t get any worse, the Goddess mocked me one more time and gave me a stubborn and difficult Alpha as my fated mate - who wanted nothing to do with me. But what do I have to lose? To begin with, I had nothing. So, leaving and forgetting all about him should be easy. It was until it wasn't. ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ EXCERPT FROM CHAPTER 1. NADIA. I was ready to start walking again when I heard twigs snapping and dry leaves rustling as big paws padded the earth. The sound was getting nearer as my heart pounded in my chest. Did somebody find out I was away and was looking for me? Or did a rogue smell me? I got up on my feet and started running, not looking back. I prepared Arrow to shift as soon as I gave her full control, but for now, I kept running, trying to focus on where I should be heading. My heart constricted as the sound of paws thudding on the ground became louder. I could feel the color d

ALBA. I stood on the balcony of the bedroom we were occupying at the villa. I watched the moon hide behind the clouds as the cold breeze of the night embraced my body. Not long after, warm arms wrapped around me from behind, and my back automatically rested on a naked, hard torso. "What are you thinking?" Paul’s asked, his mouth lingering on my ear as he softly kissed and nibbled it. "I was just thanking the Goddess for you. And for Patrick and Abegail," I answered in a soft voice as I tilted my neck to the side. I wanted his warm lips on my neck. "Happy Anniversary, my queen." He greeted me in a raspy voice as his fangs trailed down my neck, scraping my skin and sending sparks and tingles everywhere in my body. My eyes closed the moment his canines pierced through my skin, sinking it deeper to refresh the mark he had given me, which he never failed to do over and over again. Something I always looked forward to. "Ahhhh…" I whimpered and moaned as I smelled my own arousal. Ten

ALBA. I wiped the sweat off my forehead before I nodded my head to the female I was sparring with. "Thank you, Beta Alba." Selma’s head was still bowed down, waiting for my response. Instead, I walked towards her, my hand reaching for her shoulder, patting it twice. "Good job for today, Selma. We’ll do another round tomorrow." "Yes. I will prepare for that." She tilted her head up and looked at me, a wide smile curled on her lips. "Good. We're done for today. You’re free to go." I grabbed my water bottle from the side as she bowed down again before leaving the training grounds. "Thank you, Beta Alba. Have a good evening." "Same to you." I waved at her as I watched her speed off to the locker room. Selma was one of the females that I was lucky enough to be in charge of training. After I became officially the Beta Female of the pack, the Alpha gave the go signal to start screening females that we could train as female warriors. The number of applicants was small, and I was only

PAUL.I abruptly stopped in my tracks as my body stiffened. Alba felt it and immediately withdrew her mouth from my neck as her gaze followed my line of sight.Standing in front of the pack house was Young Alpha Lucas. Beside him was Alpha Caspian. Their gazes were on us, but I couldn’t read the emotions in the Young Alpha’s eyes.Alba wriggled away from my hold, and I finally set her on her feet. She looked at me, worried flitting in her eyes.'Relax. I’m here. We can do this together.' I nodded my head at my mate at the same time that I sent her a mind link.We started to walk together when I felt Alba’s hand reach for mine and entwined it with hers. I puffed my chest up as it swelled with pride. Alba was telling him who she had chosen, and I couldn’t be happier. "Lucas, what are you doing here?" It was Alba who spoke first, as Lucas’ gaze fell on Alba’s marked neck.But before Lucas could reply back to Alba’s question, Alpha Caspian butted in before he made his exit. "I will leave

ALBA. After the messy meeting with my dad, the whole day went by in bliss. As much as I wanted to spend time with my mate, the Luna and the Gamma Female insisted we go around the training grounds so I could be introduced to the females and warriors around. But it was indeed a good experience to spend time with Luna Andrea and Shilah. We were so different from each other, but I think it would make our lives together more exciting. Shilah was meek as a lamb. She would blush at everything and would dare not share anything private between her and the Gamma. Maybe because she was still young at eighteen. But Luna Andrea was eighteen too. But she was more outspoken and her confidence was oozing now, compared to when she was with Riley. Maybe because now she has Alpha Caspian with her and because she was thriving really well in this pack. And of course, there’s me. I have no filters. I was enjoying making Shilah blush every now and then while the Luna and I talked about how well-endowed

PAUL. "You fucking marked her!" Alpha Vesmont bellowed, and in a swift motion, he was already in front of us. I saw him raise his hand and was about to grab Alba’s arm harshly it didn’t sit well with me and Axel. A low growl vibrated from my throat as I wrapped an arm around my mate and pulled her into my chest, making sure her father was not able to grab her. "You’re not touching her, Alpha Vesmont!" The Alpha’s eyes dilated into full black while Luna Graciella blocked him, wrapping her arms around her husband’s body. "Please, Vesmont, calm down." Her soft voice was trying to calm him. "Calm down? She’s my daughter! I have the last say…" "She’s my mate! And Alba will always have the last say about her life!" I cut him off before he could finish his words. He ignored me and turned his eyes to Alba, his nose flaring as he scolded her. "This is the man you’re choosing? Lucas would have been a better choice!" "Then go mate with him!" Alba snapped at him. "Alba!" Her mother gas

ALBA. My eyes fluttered open as a sultry moan escaped my lips. Someone was ravaging my body and from the tingles and sparks coursing all over my body, it was letting me know that it was my mate satiating himself. My gaze fell on the window adjacent to the balcony, and I saw the moon was already high up. It must be past midnight already. I passed out by the poolside after we swam and ended up fucking each other. And from the looks of it, Paul cleaned me up and brought me to bed. I am a very sexual female, but my stamina was nothing compared to my Beta. Paul was a beast - he was uncontrollable once he gave in to his desires. "Paul…" My hands gripped the sheets tighter as his warm, wet mouth was wrapped up on my breast, sucking and biting my nipple while his hand cupped my pussy, thumb brushing over my clit, sending sparks of pleasure down to my core. "You woke up…" He lifted his head and smiled at me. His eyes were dilated into black and I couldn’t help but smirk at him. "You di

PAUL. My senses were slowly waking up, but I refused to open my eyes as I let a smile slip from my lips. I had a wild dream, and it was fucking amazing! I should be feeling bad that all I had was a dream, but a dream like this had never happened to me, so I reveled in it. With my eyes still closed, I lifted an arm and rested it against my forehead before I slipped a hand inside the blanket, reaching for my already-erected shaft. But before I could wrap my hand around it, my hand touched a small piece of cloth that felt like it was made out of lacey material. My eyes snapped open as I slowly pulled my hand off the blanket and saw that I was gripping a black thong. Shit! Did I fucking bring a female into the house? My heart thudded loudly as guilt washed over me at the thought of touching another female. Fucke me! I could only imagine the pain that I caused her. I almost lost my sanity thinking of what a fucking moron I was when Alba's faint scent hit my nostrils. My eyes darted t

ALBA."Fuck me, Beta!" My words came heady as my pussy throbbed under his touch.And just when I was starting to get lost in the abyss of ecstasy, he withdrew his finger from my core, and my body suddenly felt empty. I whimpered in protest before I felt my body being lifted from the couch. My legs automatically wrapped around his waist as he held me close and my eyes snapped open.What was he doing? We were moving, and the next thing I saw was a flight of stairs.Paul was drunk, but he had the stamina of a sober wolf, and he was running in perfect motion. In just a few seconds, we reached a room that I guess was his, and he just threw my body in the middle of a big bed.I gasped as my back hit the mattress, and even before I could recover, he was already stripping off his clothes and was now standing naked in front of me.I gulped as I took in all of him while his eyes did the same thing, devouring my body with his gaze.Paul was perfect in every sense of the word. He looked like a god
