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

CATHERINE. I woke up because of soft knocks at my door, and my heart immediately hammered in my chest as everything that happened in the last 24 hours sank in. My eyes flew to the window, and I could see that the sun was already out. ‘We made it to the morning, Purity.’ I told my wolf. ‘Yes, we did. But the game is not yet over.’ ‘I know, but I feel safer in daylight than at night.’ I said as I shoved the blanket off my body and stood up because the knock kept coming. “Who’s there?” I asked as I stood in the middle of the room. “It’s me, Lady Catherine.” “Are you…” “Yes, I am alone.” She answered before I could finish. “Please let me in before he sees me.” For some reason, I didn’t feel any hesitation to trust her today, but for safety, I grabbed one dagger. I trust Mindy, but not Maddox. I opened the door slightly, my eyes roaming around the corridor, and when I saw no one except her, I opened it completely and let her in. “How did you know I was here?” I asked as I closed

CATHERINE. I haven’t encountered any of Maddox’s pack members except the Omegas at the packhouse, so I had no idea what I would be facing. The Beta wanted me to go somewhere and hide until the training was over, but Purity and I agreed to face it head-on. I knew Maddox was pure evil, but a part of me wanted to believe that the people in this pack were part of the family my forefathers governed, and based on how proud Grandpa David would talk about them, I knew most of them loved the Montrell. And I hoped they would remember that before they attacked me. It was already past ten in the morning when I decided to go down and head for the training area. I knew no one among the people I saw along the way, and although they were looking at me weirdly as if scrutinizing me, I kept my head up and kept walking. “Finally, you showed up.” Maddox’s voice rang in the quadrangle, and all heads turned in my direction as I walked toward the makeshift arena where they stood. “Of all things, I hate

CATHERINE. “I love you too, Jace,” I said it back with a wide smile on my face before I slowly put down the receiver. The moment it clicked, my lips quivered as my hands coiled into fists. I just lied to my brother and plunged myself deeper into Maddox’s hell. *FLASHBACK 30 MINUTES EARLIER.* After the training with his Ace warriors, Maddox took Daisy and me to a warehouse where some of his illegal weapons were stored. I had no idea this place existed or why he showed it to me, except that I thought he wanted me to know what he was capable of doing. Grenades and guns of different calibers were there, as well as high-class explosives that I had never seen in my whole life. Daisy was enamored with them, but it worried me. But I didn’t have time to think about it or ask him about it because he already had another thing in mind by the time we left his warehouse. He took us directly back to the packhouse. It was already past lunchtime when we came home, but instead of eating lunch, h

CATHERINE.“Drink.” He growled. I growled back before I grabbed his forearm, sinking my fangs into his wrist, hoping I would hit his pulse. But then, for shifters, it takes more than just hitting the pulse for him to drop dead, especially if he’s an Alpha. The taste of his blood, his scents, and the sparks between us were spreading tingles between my thighs, but I knew where my heart and my head were. “Enough.” He chuckled as he pulled his hand away.I already felt a connection snap within me, and I took the opportunity to throw my head back and moan with my eyes closed, letting him think I enjoyed his repulsive blood as I mindlinked his Beta.‘Beta Xander, Luna Catherine here. Come inside the Alpha’s office. Don’t knock. Just come in.’I disconnected and blocked off my mind before I opened my eyes. I knew Xander was nearby, but it was up to him whether he could help me or not.Maddox smiled as his knuckles brushed against my cheek, and I stepped closer to him just in time when the

ALPHA JACE. “Something is wrong. It’s Catherine, but it’s not Catherine.” I said this as soon as I heard the phone click on the other side. “I was about to say that,” Amara said as she walked from the window to my desk. I pushed my chair back, and she slipped on the space between me and my desk, anchoring her ass on the table as she stood in front of me. “Catherine will never break up with Tyler this way. She would find a way to talk to him and explain.” “But it felt like she was avoiding having Tyler on the phone so she wouldn’t break from the act she was putting on.” “I can’t believe she just fucking told me this over the phone and not face-to-face.” I sighed and leaned forward, leaning my forehead on Amara’s belly. Her hands ran over my hair as she spoke. “We need to find Tyler. He was upset when he left.” I tried to open a mindlink with Tyler, but his mind was totally shut off. I could only imagine the thoughts in his head. I stood up and took Amara’s hand before gently pu

CATHERINE. “I don’t want you here. You better leave.” Maddox’s voice reached my ears as I neared the dining room. “But Mom wants to...” A female replied, but she was not able to finish her words as Maddox intercepted them. “I don’t fucking care!” He roared, and my heart thundered loudly. They were arguing, probably because she was not supposed to be in the packhouse. “Can you calm down, please?” The female said. Her voice sounded familiar, but I couldn’t pinpoint where I heard it. But the moment I turned to enter the room, I found the answer I was looking for. The female sitting at the dining table with Maddox was the same female that haunted my nightmares for over a year. And she was back to haunt me more. Zoey. My brows raised when Zoey’s gaze met mine. I had no idea if I was upset she was with Maddox, or because she was somehow linked to Tyler, and for some reason, it didn’t seem right that she was with Maddox. “What are you doing here?” Maddox’s voice snapped me from thro

(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.
THE BETA AND I UM - Epilogue 2
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
