2024-10-29 19:42:56Cara broke free from Dane’s grip and stood in front of the pack. She ran through everything in her mind one last time. She wanted to be able to forgive Dane, but she couldn’t. She couldn’t live her life knowing what he’d done.
She knew she was no better. She’d taken his mate’s life and he’d returned the favour. But she’d changed, she’d moved on, she wanted to be a better person. She couldn’t forgive him for trying to drag her back into the life she’d made a conscious choice to leave behind.
“Thank you for the outpouring of love I’ve received from each and every one of you since Lucas’ passing. I appreciate the way you’ve kept me in your thoughts. Lucas isn’t gone, though. He lives on, through his pup – our pup – that is growing each day.”

Bella HamiltonThank you so much to everyone who has read and left comments and gems, I appreciate every single one of you! Cara could never have become the person she wanted to be with Dane still in her life, so while it's not a traditional happily ever after, it really is the start of something better for her - she paid the ultimate price, but she now has a clean slate and a second chance to get things right. If you enjoyed the book, I'd love it if you could leave a quick review :) Thank you!

Revenge of the Fallen Beta Chapter 01
**Trigger Warning: contains coarse language, erotic scenes and cheating. I know cheating on a fated mate is not everybody's cup of tea in a werewolf novel, so I'm giving fair warning - I will add that it is only in one chapter, and there are hefty consequences** Cara sat on a park bench in a large, fenced off garden known as The Commons. It was a neutral zone between two werewolf packs; a place where both packs could mingle and co-exist without restrictions. She stretched her long, tanned legs out in front of her and tilted her head back, enjoying the feel of the sun’s warmth on her face. A shadow fell across her and she slowly opened one eye, spotting the culprit and swatting him away playfully with her hand. “Babe, you’re ruining my tan. Move over,” she whined, trying in vain to move the large, hulking fi
Revenge of the Fallen Beta Chapter 02
Cara poked her head into the bathroom, where the shower had been running for the last forty minutes. Dane's hulking, naked body took up much of the glassed off shower area, and he had his forehead pressed against the cold tiles. She knew today had been hard for him.She was sure they’d made the right decision, but knew Dane well enough to know he’d be going over everything in his mind a hundred times, wondering if there was a better option than taking Patrick’s life. Murdering your Alpha was no small thing, after all. She knew the pack would support him and would be happy to be taken in a new direction.Cara noticed there was no steam rising from the shower, and quickly rushed to turn the tap off. Dane was freezing cold, with goosebumps spread across every inch of his hard, muscular body, but he was so deep in thought that it hadn’t even
Revenge of the Fallen Beta Chapter 03
There was a sense of excitement in the air and a real celebratory vibe all around The Commons for the newly proclaimed Foundation Day. Everything had gone according to the plan Cara and Dane had plotted and got Lucas to buy into. Not only did they both stage brutal coups to remove their problematic Alphas, but they agreed to unite and merge the two packs. There were benefits for both packs. The nomads of Cape Point would have more room to roam, and Green Plains would gain access to the Cape's superior warrior army to defend itself from the attacks and invasions that were becoming more frequent. Green Plains had a lot of land, and all of the surrounding packs wanted a share of it. Once the merger had been approved by the leadership teams of both packs, it was embraced by the greater pack members wholeheartedly. Th

“Your what?” said Dane, incredulous.“Mate,” said Cara, staring at Lucas in shock.Dane felt like the ground beneath him was shaking, as though at any minute it would crack and send him plummeting downwards. Everything was falling apart.Not only was he not appointed Beta, he was so far down the ranking he was a nobody. To top it all off, the love of his life had finally found her mate, and it was the guy who’d screwed him over.Dane ran a hand over his shaved head. If he had longer hair, he’d be tugging it in frustration.Lucas took a step towards Cara with his hand outstretched and took her hands in his. The sparks of the mate-bond rushed over their skin, leaving a pleasurable elect
Revenge of the Fallen Beta Chapter 05
Cara hadn’t slept much in the last few days and it was starting to catch up with her. Every night she was restless, tossing and turning as her mind was consumed with the decision she would have to make.Elusive as it was, sleep offered no reprieve, as even her dreams were plagued with visions of the man who owned her heart, and the mate who could give her the future every she-wolf yearns for.Dane was right, though. As much as she longed to leave her Omega status behind and have her place in the pack secured, she loved Dane and couldn’t just throw away their history together and her feelings for him.Kissing him goodbye as he left for the packhouse, she felt at peace with her decision. If Lucas wanted her as a mate, he was going to have to work for it.
Revenge of the Fallen Beta Chapter 06
Cara was in her happy place, the gym, midway into a decent run on the treadmill. Her phone buzzed in the holder, and her eyebrows shot up when she saw the Alpha’s number pop up on the screen in front of her.She immediately stepped on the edges away from the belt and hit pause on the treadmill, grinding it to a halt. She composed herself, not wanting to give away how nervous she actually was, and cleared her throat before answering.“Alpha Lucas,” she said cheerily. “How are you?”“I’m well, thank you Cara,” he replied in his deep baritone voice. She didn’t want to admit it, even to herself, but his voice alone stirred something in her.“What can I do for you?”
Revenge of the Fallen Beta Chapter 07
It wasn't a bad party, as far as these things go. The food was delicious, the music was pumping, and everyone was friendly and welcoming. They also seemed relaxed. It appeared that with the absence of the Alpha and Beta, the guests were prepared to let their hair down. Cara was mingling happily and was enjoying getting to know some of the new pack members. She had started the night wondering if she would have much in common with anyone, but was relieved to find they really were just werewolves like her, no better and no worse. She had agreed to a secret signal with Dane so that if she was in an awkward or uncomfortable situation, he could sweep in and get her out of it, but so far she hadn’t needed it. “Gamma Sam,” greeted Cara as he approached. “I’m Cara Nordstrom. Alpha Lucas was right, you do know how to throw a decent party.”
Revenge of the Fallen Beta Chapter 08
A packhouse tradesman stood balanced on a step ladder, using a drill to repair the hinges on the door to Alpha Lucas’ office. The man responsible for the damage sat on a couch in the foyer, waiting for a meeting with Lucas.“Dane, come in!” shouted Lucas over the sound of the power drill.“Sorry about the door,” apologised Dane. “Although, I guess it was a better option than your face,” he added with a shrug.“That’s one way of looking at it.”Lucas wanted nothing more than to get rid of the smug arsehole sitting in front of him, but he was trying to be civil with Dane and keep their relationship workable. Disciplining him and making him more of an enemy than he already was, would affect how Cara saw him. The la

“Bring them to the packhouse. My office,” ordered Dane.“Yes, Alpha,” replied Wei.Dane stood and clenched his fists nervously. He wondered who the captive was and how much he knew. Cara rolled over, woken by his sudden movement, and saw the look on his face. He masked it quickly, but she knew something was amiss.“What is it?” she asked.“Nothing, it’s fine. I’ll handle it. Go back to sleep.”“Dane, I know when you’re hiding things.”He let out a sigh.“Ka
Revenge of the Fallen Beta Chapter 62
Dane stood on the front lawn of the packhouse, his bereaved packmates assembling to listen to his address as the acting Alpha of the Green Cape Pack. This should be an auspicious moment for him, but all he could think of was Cara’s distress. He’d done that to her.He quickly pushed it from his mind. This was how it had to happen. It would be painful for Cara in the short term, but long term, she would have the life she’d always dreamed of. With him.She would keep her place as Luna, and their child would still be the future Alpha. In his mind, he knew that he would treat them better than Lucas ever would have.“Green Cape Pack, it is with tremendous sadness that I confirm the passing of Alpha Lucas. Early this morning, a small group of for

Dane received Lucas’ SOS mind-link and waited patiently, biding his time. He wanted to give Matt and his men enough time to get the job done.When he was happy he’d given them a sufficient head start, he mind-linked Kasper and a group of his own warriors, and led them out to the running track where Lucas had said he was.They picked up his scent quickly when they reached the track and followed it, gaining speed.“I can’t scent anything or anyone other than the Alpha,” Kasper mind-linked to the group. “Anyone else getting anything?”“No,” came a chorus of replies.They kept running, Lucas’ sce
Revenge of the Fallen Beta Chapter 60
After shifting back and getting dressed in the forest, Dane didn’t want to waste a minute and jogged back to the packhouse with purpose. He found the contact details of the other packs and sent a message to Alpha Aiden, explaining that he had something important he needed to discuss with him and wanted to do it over video call. They arranged a time later that evening, and Dane and Stig spent the rest of the day on edge. Dane rapped his knuckles impatiently on the table as he joined the video chat. The wait seemed endless before the blank square finally came to life and Alpha Aiden’s face filled it. His backdrop was nondescript except for the ornate chair he was sitting on, which looked hard carved, and the top was intertwined with thorns from a rosebush.
Revenge of the Fallen Beta Chapter 59
Today was the day. Dane had a spring in his step, and not an ounce of nervousness over what was to take place.The price he had agreed with Ivan was expensive, but worth it in Dane’s eyes. Ivan had to be good, because he couldn’t have survived as a hitman for as long as he had if he wasn’t good at what he did.He’d paid a deposit out of his own funds, but would need to take out his share of the profits being held in the business account to pay for the rest once the job was done. It was a lot of money, but when he thought about what he was buying, it seemed like the best deal he’d ever made.Lucas would be gone, he would become Alpha and reign with Cara and their pup. Money well spent, indeed.
Revenge of the Fallen Beta Chapter 58
Lando hit the floor, covered in blood. He scrambled to his feet, panting and in pain, ready to take his last stand. Turning, he was shocked to see the wolf that attacked him lying in a pool of its own blood, with its head almost removed from its neck.Stig still had his paws gripped around the wolf, and his face was covered in the blood of Jannik’s wolf.“We’re fucking idiots,” Stig said to Dane. “That could have been it! We want Lucas dead, he could have been taken out without us needing to do anything… and we stopped it.”“Fuck! You didn’t even hesitate in going to save him, and neither did I.”“Instinct. It’s how we’re wired.&rdq
Revenge of the Fallen Beta Chapter 57
Dane tapped his foot impatiently as he waited for Lucas inside the warrior training hall. He yawned, thinking it was way too early on a Sunday morning to be doing this. Lucas had sent him a message the previous night saying he needed to meet with him. The hall would be undergoing renovations soon, but surely it didn’t warrant having to meet at this hour. With no training scheduled for the day, the place was deserted and the eerie silence in the hall was adding to the boredom. The loud click of the door echoed around the building as Lucas entered and made his way over. “About time,” grumbled Dane. “I didn’t know I had to be here right on the exact second,” snapped Lucas, glancing at his watch. Like Dane, he w

Cara knew it was going to be the hardest phone call that she’d ever had to make, but she thought it would be easier than telling him in person and having to look at those pleading eyes while doing it.“Dane, I’ve made my mind up. Regardless of who the father is, I’m going to raise it with Lucas.”She had known this from the moment she’d found out she was pregnant, but Dane had asked her to take her time and think about it. She hadn’t given it any more thought, but she took some time to make it appear that way.“But you can’t, that could be my kid, Cara!”“Lucas is good to me and he loves me–”
