CATHERINE. The car stopped in front of the packhouse, and I saw Tyler standing on the top of the steps with a face devoid of any emotions. And then I saw my parents’ car on the side of the house. They were here as well. “Did you tell Mom?” I asked Jace. “Yes. I’m sorry, I need to let it out.” Jace said without looking at me, his hands still gripping the steering wheel tightly. “To Tyler as well?” “Yes…” “Why?” I asked in a broken voice, but I didn’t wait for his answer as I opened the door. My heart was in pain for what I did, but I could only imagine what Tyler was feeling at the moment. I had seen this coming, and I was sure he did too because we had talked about this topic many times, but I knew it would still be hard to take. I didn’t waste time and jumped out of the car, rushing to where he was. I was already halfway on my way to him when he let his guard down, and the pain flashed on his expression. His eyes watered, and the tough facade I was putting on came crumbling d

YOUNG ALPHA ALONSO. I waved at the man who drove me to the Black Shadow Pack training ground before walking to where Amara and Catherine were. It was good that one of my classmates in my last class lived around this area, so I didn’t have to drive to get here. I planned to do what I needed and shift into my wolf to return to the dormitory later. Amara called me earlier. She asked me if I could come to the training grounds and duel with Catherine using daggers. And as much as I didn’t want to go there, I was left with no choice as Amara wanted to make sure Catherine was well equipped to handle the asshole Alpha — Amara’s words, not mine — she was mated with, as Catherine would be leaving tomorrow with him. I could only imagine what Beta Tyler was feeling at the moment, and it reminded me of why Jace was so hesitant to pursue Amara before, because at the end of the day, no matter what the circumstances were, it seemed the fated mates would always have the upper hand versus a chosen

CATHERINE. “... eight, six, five,” I said the last three digits of his number, and Tyler nodded his head. His lips continued to kiss my knuckles. I was seated in our bed in his room while he was lying down, holding my hand while we waited for the right time to come out. I’d been memorizing his number and Jace’s just as a safety measure. Tyler had given me a small phone I could take with me. We decided that I would leave my mobile phone at home, as the last thing I wanted was for Maddox to access my personal stuff in case he took it from me. Memorizing Tyler’s number was not hard as I knew it by heart, but I did have challenges with Jace and the packhouse number, but in the end, I was able to memorize them. “Please be careful there.” Tyler’s eyes softened as our gazes met. I nodded, offering him a weak smile. “Before we know it, the three days are over. Just busy yourself with things to do, and don’t worry about me. I will take care of myself.” “I can’t help but worry.” “I un

CATHERINE. The closer we got to the border, the more I wanted to back out, but Purity was right. We owe it to ourselves to meet Maddox and sever ties if needed. Although she was looking forward to meeting our mate and spending time with him, Purity was affected by Tyler’s sadness, and she told me that Black was not communicating with her. I guess Black did a good job of making my wolf think twice about what she wanted. But there was no time to dwell on that at the moment, as we had arrived, and I had to face Maddox. I tried to block any emotion from showing on my face when I stepped out of the car. I didn’t want him to see that he was affecting me in a negative way. My eyes darted to the people around the border. There were far too many — not the usual men around when a guest was coming. Jace didn’t trust Maddox at all. My gaze found Grandpa David and Grandpa Theo among the men at the border. They were here to see Maddox, who was standing ten feet away from our border with fiv

CATHERINE. I’d been staring out the window for far too long before I finally decided I could not stay here and just wait for things to happen. I needed to go out of my room so I could also check the entrance and exits of this packhouse. Nadine had shown me a floor plan, and I wanted to see if I could find the panic room in case I needed to go there. As soon as I got out of my room, I headed to the stairs and to the main floor. I would explore the upper floors later when I already knew who the people living in the packhouse were. The last thing I wanted was to bump into someone who might harm me, especially when my wolf decided to ignore me again. Purity was silent in my head. She was sad when we left our packhouse but got excited when we scented Maddox, only to be disappointed because Maddox was ignoring us. I wanted to tell her, “I told you so,” to let her know I was right that Maddox was not the type of mate Tyler was, but then I chose not to. She was smart enough to figure tha

CATHERINE. “I need my luggage,” I told the Beta after Mindy left us in the kitchen. I was holding the ice pack on my cheek. “He has it. But I can ask him later. I can also ask Mindy to look for clothes you can wear in case he won’t return your luggage today.” I let out a frustrated sigh before a question came out of my lips. “Why are you staying here? Your Alpha is a monster.” “Maybe give time to get to know him. Maybe… maybe…" “Maybe, what? That maybe he will change? That the bond between us can make him a better person?” “And why did you come here?” He asked, his eyes narrowing. “I could tell that you don’t like him at all.” He replied in a hushed tone before he looked around and motioned for me to follow him. We went to the main kitchen, and the three Omegas there turned around to greet us, but Xander raised his hand, stopping them from doing so. I handed one of them the ice pack before they all just went back to what they were doing while we exited a door leading to the ba

CATHERINE. A loud gasp left my throat as I was pulled inward into the room, but before I could scream, a hand clamped over my mouth, stifling any sound from coming out of me, and by the sparks traveling in my body, my intuition was right. Maddox was here. I closed my eyes and steadied my breathing. I had to calm down, or he would not let me go. I was not mistaken. The moment I stopped wriggling my body, his hold loosened, and he let me go from his arms. I immediately spun my body to face him before I stepped back, creating a big distance between us. He was letting his aura come back up. He suppressed it earlier, which is why I was not able to feel his presence completely. “Why are you here?” I asked. “I want to talk.” “We can talk outside.” I tried to sound friendly. “No. We will talk here.” “I’m not comfortable having a man inside my room.” “I’m your mate.” “You’re still a man.” “Really? Are you telling me that you saved yourself for me?” He said this as he slowly steppe

CATHERINE. I lifted my arm and saw that red marks began forming as the pain intensified. My jaw tightened as I gritted my teeth before they chattered when another pain shot right through my chest, making my body move voluntarily, and I fell to the ground. It was painful like my chest was being ripped apart, but I refused to cry. I swear, I would make him pay for every bit of pain he gave me. I knew there was no remedy for this. Grandmother Jessica told me that she endured this pain for over a year before my grandfather finally decided to man up and choose the female he wanted to be with. This was still a sensitive topic in the family, but for some reason, I found myself asking her about it when I was sixteen. She said she would take sedatives to fall asleep, but most of the time, she would bear it on her own until she just became numb. But aside from not having access to sedatives at the moment, my body was also reacting badly to them, so that was why they didn’t sedate me during

(This is a free note, you should not be paying any coins for this) --------------------Title: LET THE GAMMA FALL FOR ME Full Blurb: My name is Alexandria Ricafort.Or call me Lexi for short. My mother was an ordinary she-wolf mated to a human, making me a half-breed. After my father's untimely death when I was fourteen, my mother and I left the human territory and sought shelter in a new pack. But with both of them gone, I struggled to fit into a world full of shifters without a wolf. I already knew from the very beginning that I was more human than a werewolf. So the moment I turned eighteen, I packed my bags, thanked the couple that took me in, and moved out of the Black Shadow Pack to start my own adventure somewhere else. And just when I found my peace and purpose in human territory, the world of shifters came knocking on my door, ready to create havoc in the guise of my hot "so-called stepbrother," Austin.

THREE YEARS FROM THE CLAIMING (continuation of The Betas’ Day Out, Chapter 129 of this book). ALICE. “You are fashionably late!” Catherine said, giggling. She kissed my cheek before she took my almost two-year-old daughter, Ayesha, from my arms and cuddled her, whispering sweet nothings to her as I hugged the rest of the Beta females and Lawrence’s Luna. While my mate went directly to the males huddled on the other side of the room. We were invited to the Dark Crows Pack for Garrett’s third birthday, but we passed by Roan’s territory so we could convoy with them going in here. But he had an urgent thing that needed attention, so Joshua helped him first before driving here. But we notified them ahead of time, so Catherine was just teasing us when we arrived. After Joshua and I got mated, Catherine and Tyler introduced us to the other Betas that were on the same ground as us on the Claiming, which changed all our fates. We met Beta Brandon and Vicky of the Red River Pack, Beta

A YEAR AFTER THE LAST CHAPTER. JOSHUA. I stood beside Gamma Julius as we discussed the final security instructions for Alice’s baby shower tomorrow. We didn’t have many guests, mostly Alphas and their Lunas, so we had to be strict. I didn’t want this event to be the reason for us to be shunned if anything happened to any of the Lunas while they were in our territory. Alice was already in her seventh month of pregnancy, and Nikka insisted on throwing a baby shower for her. It would just be a formal lunch and a small get-together after that. The people she wanted to be here were all invited. Who would have thought that Amara and Jace would be entering our territory tomorrow? It took a while before Amara and Alice became comfortable with each other, but it finally happened. And I could only look back at all the stupid things I did and said to Amara, but I was glad that she and Jace both gave me and Alice a chance to be better and to make up for the way we acted toward them.

JOSHUA. “We did it. We did it, Luna Alice….” I mumbled back at my mate while pecking her forehead. The day we had been waiting for finally came. Dad decided to give me the pack even before my 20th birthday. I guessed my refusal to back down about Eugene, and my ignoring Mom’s tactics opened his eyes to the fact that I was ready to leave this pack anytime. And with no one to pass the title on, it terrified him, especially when he realized the people were more comfortable doing business with me than him. Or simply because he was already tired. The arrogance in his eyes had been long gone. And I seldom hear him raise his voice. Eugene leaving the territory started the spreading of news that he was the Luna’s son but not the Alpha’s. Even in modern society, this is still frowned upon. The Alphas could have many pups, but the Lunas were supposed to be perfect. And if I were not who I was at this point, I would probably be on the side of the people mocking my own father for this. Th

FIVE MONTHS LATER. JOSHUA. The days turned into weeks. And then into months. But we never got the answer we were looking for. River was still nowhere to be found. The CCTV footage of her in the train station showed she went inside a train heading for Atlanta. On the same day, some of my men went to that city. My father didn’t want to spend any dime looking for River, and since I had no jurisdiction to give orders to our trackers, I was not able to seek assistance from them. Cyrus, however, extended his help again and sent his own trackers to do the job. And so did Roan and Kairo since their packs were nearest to Atlanta. But even with them and their friends helping us and using their own resources, we couldn’t find her. Like she just vanished into thin air. Alice had gone to her room the day after she left and checked if she left any clues, but there was nothing telling us where she had gone. She saw Cyrus’ calling cards in the trash bins, and she told him about it. And I

LADY RIVER. I didn’t know I had fallen asleep on the train ride to Bernice City. I was grateful the female from whom I bought the ticket woke me up and told me we were approaching the station where I needed to get off. After making sure everything I had in my bag was still intact, I took my aunt’s address out and asked her if it was a long way from the station. She told me I needed to take a bus to get there. I was left with no choice but to tell her I couldn’t read and that I might end up somewhere far from this place. Her eyes softened as she grabbed a pen from her pocket and ripped a piece of paper from her notepad. She began to draw something out of it before she handed it to me. “When you get out of here, you will see a red building. Cross that street to get there. And in the direction where a colorful rainbow arch is, head in that direction. Follow that sidewalk. Just continue forward. You will pass three corners. On the fourth corner, turn left. Here.” She pointed at the

ALICE. I couldn’t believe it was possible for a pack to hate a future Beta as much as this pack hated Eugene. Joshua put him in the middle of the quadrangle and ordered two whips on his back before he asked his warrior to tie him up on the post. He told him he would remain there all night until he denounced the pack. I knew Joshua could force his father to banish him, but I also knew Joshua wanted to put him there for the whole pack to see. Before we departed, Joshua commanded his men to guard him and inform him once he denounced the pack. But he allowed everyone to throw a punch or two if they wanted. In the beginning, no one was coming near Eugene. Until we were informed by one of the warriors that there were two females, clad in a big hoodie and long black skirt, who came and threw a punch at him. Those females didn’t want to be identified but surely wanted to do that. Joshua told them to just let them and to never block anyone from approaching him. So, aside from these t

ALICE. My coiled fist connected with his jaw. I had punched several men in my lifetime, but I was sure I had never hit anyone as hard as I hit Eugene. After Kenneth told us in what state he found Eugene and River, I knew that there would never come a time when I would forgive him. Ever. Of all the females to assault, he chose River — someone who was too good for anybody. Rage was ruling my whole body, and I acted without thinking. As soon as my fist hit him, a loud growl erupted from his throat, and even though he staggered back, he was able to gather his footing right away. And before I knew it, he was launching at me. “You, mother fucker!” He roared, his arm stretching back with his hand balled into a tight fist. He was planning to hit me back. My eyes widened, and even if I wanted to scream, no sound left my lips. But I saw a figure pass me, and the next thing I saw was Joshua lunging at Eugene. His hand snaked around his neck before he slammed his body to the ground. A lo

RIVER. “Again, who told you that you get to decide?” He growled lowly before I heard him unstrap his belt, and fear coursed through my whole body. He was starting to unzip his pants when I finally had the courage to move myself. My hands pushed his stomach away as my feet kicked his knees. He staggered backward, and I took the opportunity to run, but he was fast. He caught my hair and slammed my body against the hood of his car. In no time, he was hovering over me. His eyes were dilating, and if looks could kill, I would be dead already. “Please let me go!” I shrieked. My hands were on his chest, trying to stop him from leaning closer. “After you fucking flirt with me, you will leave me hanging? Can’t you feel how hard my cock is already? You need to finish what you fucking started, whore!” I tried to push him, but I couldn’t move as my feet were caged in between his thighs, and I could feel his erection against mine, but before he could dip his face into mine, I saw a hand gra
