THE BETA AND I Chapter 33
TYLER. “She said she missed you,” Jace said, and it just added to the pain inside. “Stop, Jace.” My shoulders shook as sobs wracked my whole body. The tears I had been trying to stop since earlier came flooding out. “We will find a way. I know it hurts…” In a few steps, Jace was already standing beside me, patting my shoulder. “You don’t get it, man. I don’t even care about myself anymore. Why the fuck was she mated to that asshole? Did you see how he treated her? They had just met, and he was acting in such a manner towards her. If he ever lays a hand on her, I will fucking kill him!” I meant that. Zoey and I never saw eye to eye all the time, but I had always treated her with respect and had never shouted at or embarrassed her in public places. “Of all people… Was this supposed to be the part where I’d wish she was mated to one of your friends or to Andrew? Because even if we don’t end up together, I know she will be taken care of.” “Are you giving up already?” “No. I will
THE BETA AND I Chapter 34
LUNA AMARA. Jace and I barely slept. We just lay in bed and spent most of the night talking about Catherine’s fate and asking questions we never found the answers to. It didn’t help that Jace was already in a rage to see Maddox, and his being mated to his sister was adding salt to an open wound. I was trying to calm him down while my own heart was weeping for my best friend. But we both know that, at this point, we couldn’t let Tyler and Catherine see us as weak. Our Betas needed us, so we decided to make sure that we would keep fighting alongside them as their Alphas and as their family - as long as Catherine kept choosing Tyler. By the time we needed to wake up, we were still awake, and I didn’t think I would be able to sleep, so I took a shower with Jace, and we decided to head down to his office. Jace held my hand, drawing our strengths from each other as he opened the door. We were walking down the corridor when we noticed something on the other wing of the fourth floor.

CATHERINE. I was in my bedroom, sitting by my window and looking at the entrance of the packhouse grounds. I could not see the front of the house, but I could see the car coming in, and I already saw Grandpa Theodore’s vehicle entering the grounds earlier. I could only imagine what was going on in Jace’s office at the moment. As much as I wanted to be there, I didn’t want to look at Grandpa Theo. I felt guilty even though I knew it wasn’t my fault. I was sure nothing they would say about Maddox could make me feel bad for him, but I didn’t want them to look at me with pity. As Amara said, it wasn’t my fault, but still, this was what I had, and until I broke my bond with him, it would cause more chaos in my family. I turned my head when the Omega, who was fixing my wardrobe, asked permission to leave. Some of my clothes that were already in Tyler’s room were sent up. And seeing those clothes hurt like I was back on my own without Tyler. My only consolation was that Tyler sent up

TYLER. I stood there and listened as Catherine’s whole family expressed their frustration over Maddox’s importance in Catherine’s life and how it triggered an old wound to be reopened. But despite their frustrations, there was one thing I was sure of: her family loved her more than the pain that Maddox and his clan caused them. Grandpa Theo, the rightful Alpha of the Dark Forest pack before it was taken over, apologized to me before he said his piece, and although it hurt, I understood him perfectly. “At the end of the day, I will let it go if Catherine decides to accept him.” He said it firmly, but his eyes avoided mine. “It’s not going to happen.” Jace blurted out, and I could see Uncle Jake was about to say the same thing. “Who are we to stop Catherine if she wants him?” “He will break my daughter, and I will not let that happen.” Alpha Jake said. “I’m sure you’ve heard of Alpha’s reputation.” Grandpa David added. “And we’ve heard of Jake and Jace’s reputations, but are the

CATHERINE.Amara and I were in my room, lying on our stomachs in my bed, while we scanned the photo albums of our childhood. They were Mom’s, and it had too many photos of me and Jace, but Tyler and Amara were everywhere as well, so it was amazing to look back at them with her. I was just in my underwear, so taking it off would be easy once my heat worsened. The bathtub was already filled with ice, and I had mild painkillers sitting at my bedside table in case it got intense, but I knew Mom was trying to get ones with a higher dose. I was nervous, but I knew I would survive it. I was determined, and Purity promised me she would try to share the pain with me. The thing with my wolf was that we had different emotions ruling us at the moment, but like me, she respected my choice as much as I understood her. And I was glad she was not fighting against me on this. We were both waiting until our decision became one, but I hope she will also end up choosing Tyler and not the other way arou

ALPHA JACE. I jumped out of Austin’s Wrangler Jeep even before he could halt the car and made my way to where Maddox was. He was standing on neutral territory with just a gate barrier between us. “What are you doing here?” I got straight to the point. “I want my mate.” He answered. “She’s not here.” “Where did you take her?” “It’s none of your business.” I tried to speak in a calm manner despite his snapping at me. “Go home.” “She’s my mate! You have no fucking right to take her away from me!” “Catherine has not decided yet. Until then, she’s free to decide where she wants to stay.” “Let me in. Or I will force my way in!” “Fuck off! What in the fucking world did you not understand that she’s not here?” “Let me talk to any of your men and see if they could lie under my command.” He said it arrogantly. I had no idea if he was being stupid or just plain ignorant. He could roll off an Alpha command to my men, but I could always counter it with mine to stop them from speaking

TYLER.“Now, get ready. We are going inside.” The Luna said, and I nodded in response.“I’m not sure this is a good idea, Clair.” Alpha Jake’s voice stopped us from walking toward the door. “What if they can’t control themselves? Do you know how hard it was to keep myself away from you? And I’m sure even if Tyler can’t smell her, if Catherine keeps coming to him, he will definitely give in.”“Like how you gave in to my heat?” The Luna chuckled softly before her eyes flitted with determination as she stared back at her mate. “You have no idea how painful this kind of heat is, Jake. Your cock was hurting, but imagine what it is like for females when our cores and our whole bodies are on fire, plus the intense lust dominating all of our senses. I suffered for hours on my own, and I would never wish it for anyone, more so for my own daughter, but I’m not giving her to Maddox. Tyler is my ONLY option.”The Alpha remained quiet. He knew better than to argue this time.“If they cross the lin
THE BETA AND I Chapter 40
CATHERINE.My eyes widened as I watched him unbuckle his belt and zip down his pants.He pulled them down before taking off his shirt, giving me a full view of his ripped, naked body. I was sure my pussy was leaking, but this time I knew it was leaking just for him.He was already naked when he walked to the bathroom’s small window and opened it. “Fuck, Catherine! You smell so fucking sweet, and if I’m not thinking straight, I will ravish you until you can’t stand anymore!” His voice was so beastly — the same one he would have whenever he feasted on my body.My hands held onto the walls. I wanted to go to him, but I knew I shouldn’t. My legs trembled while I watched him sit in his chair, so I slowly closed it.“Stop!” He growled, and it made me nervous and aroused at the same time. “Spread it wider. Show me the pussy that belonged to me, Catherine.”I moaned at the sexy way he said it, and like a lovesick female, I opened my legs — wider than they should be without taking my eyes off
