Hello, lovelies!
Beta Paul's story will start earlier than I planned since Alpha Riley's book was not yet launched and might take another day or two. So in the meantime, let's enjoy the beginning of Beta Paul and Alba's story (A BETA'S HEART). I will try to finish the story as soon as I can, so as not to leave you all hanging for a long time.
Also, if you will notice, there are free chapters since those chapters were almost similar to the ones you already paid for in Alpha's Caspian's book. But I suggest that you still read them since I added a few thoughts and conversations to them.
That's all for today! Enjoy and let me know your thoughts.
For chapter teasers and to see how I envisioned Beta Paul and Alba, you may check

THREE YEARS AGO. Paul - 18 years oldAlba - 19 years old PAUL. I was fucking hungry. I almost forgot I hadn’t eaten the whole day if my stomach didn’t growl and catch my attention. A day was not enough for all the things I needed to do. Three days ago, my pack, the Blue Meadows Pack was attacked by rogues who were aiming to take over the pack so they could get their hands on the mining quarry that was situated in the middle of our territory. We were able to stop them. We won, but we lost too many. Including our pack Alpha, Alpha Gustav, and his Beta. His Gamma is currently in the hospital fighting for his life. And, with all of the highest-ranking wolves gone, I was thrown into the post, along with the young Alpha Caspian and Carlos, out of necessity. I am the new Beta of the Blue Meadows Pack, and the title comes with a responsibility that I was still trying t
ALBA.My name is Alba Adams.An Alpha Female. The youngest and only female in a brood of four.My father is Alpha Vesmont of the Green Valley Pack. One of the high-ranking members of the Council.So yes, a lot was expected of me.But I am Alba. I bowed to no one. I make my own rules too.I spent the last three years perfecting my skills in human combat, so when my cousin, Alpha Riley, of the Silver Moon Pack, decided to lend a hand and help his neighboring pack being attacked by a group of organized rogues, I didn’t think twice about joining in.And as much as Riley didn’t approve of it, he couldn’t do anything.What Alba wants, Alba gets.Well, except for one thing. The only thing I ever wanted that was not given to me.My mate. My fated one.Three years ago, on the day of my nineteenth birthday, I was in a small restaurant in the neutral city with some of my friend
So I guess this is it. Game on. I stepped out of Riley’s car, ready to spring into action when my body went rigid when his scent hit me. My mate's scent. It was stronger than the first time I smelt him. He smelled of cedarwood and mint. It was intoxicating, and despite the smell of blood mixed with the disgusting smell of rogues, I found myself getting aroused. My eyes scanned the area while keeping my guards up, and then I found him. In his wolf form. No wonder his scent was too strong. He didn't notice me, but I didn't mind as I watched him in awe. Time stood still and I forgot I was in the middle of the battlefield. The dark-grey wolf I was watching was skillfully maneuvering his body to counter the rogue attack. He was moving flawlessly, and I couldn't stop my heart from palpitating. He was... he was too perfect. Or at least his wolf was. I snapped back from my trance the moment
PAUL. I didn’t expect to see my mate while my pack was being attacked. And I didn’t expect her to be this good at combat. She was fucking beautiful and fucking good at fighting. I couldn’t help the smile from tugging on my lips the whole time I was fighting alongside Alba. She was fucking perfect! I couldn't keep my eyes from following her every move. I had never seen a female fight as flawlessly as she could. In fact, I rarely see females on the battlefield, especially not in our pack. We never had female warriors and we never trained them. But, given how effective and mesmerizing she appears right now, I believe we need to shift our perspective on female warriors. With the right training and guidance, they could be on par with our finest male warriors. "Focus on the rogues and not on my ass, mate!" She winked at me before doing a somersault to reach the next rogue on her target. I shook my head and put
"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 figh
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 rouge 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 de
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
