CATHERINE. I watched as the men I loved drove away, leaving me behind with the man I loathed the most. I had no idea what would happen next, and I doubted if I could ever get away from him. My last chance of being saved was gone. I just hoped that after two days, if we didn’t show up there, they would find a way to come back here in full force. Maybe take the Council with them — anyone, just as long as they would not be outnumbered. But with the many weapons all around here, I was already losing hope they could do something about this. “They’re gone. No need to stare at the open space.” Maddox chuckled mockingly as he walked back to the packhouse, leaving me alone. I didn’t say anything. I didn’t even move to look at him, even when all I wanted was to shout at him and punch him. I had to restrain myself, at least until my family left the territory. ‘Beta Xander…’ I mindlinked the Beta as he was asked to follow them until the border, but I heard Maddox instructing him not to conve

ALPHA MADDOX. “I, Alpha Maddox Trevino of the Dark Forest Pack, banished you, Catherine Gertrude Galhart, from my pack. You are no longer welcome in this territory!” I cut my palm using my claws, and let the blood trickle down her face. I would have done more to mock her and make her feel worthless if the pain in my chest was not aggravating me. I had thought saying it out loud to make her feel the pain would suffice for her to take all of it. I wasn’t expecting it to hit me back. Hard. I walked over her, not giving her a second glance while she squirmed on the floor, and instead proceeded to step out of my office. I didn’t know where to turn, but I didn’t want anyone to see me while the pain of our bond disconnecting was making my whole body shake in pain. I rushed to the stairs and headed for my bedroom, slamming the door hard before I went to my bathroom and opened the cold shower. I didn’t even take my clothes off. I went ahead and stayed under the cold water, but it wasn’t

BETA XANDER. I watched as Catherine’s wolf sprinted away in the direction I instructed her to go. I doubted if she would be able to catch up with them on how her brother was driving the car. But that direction would also lead her to Lady Zoey’s pack if she kept going. I hope she will find solace there. But I had to send someone to check the path she took to make sure she got there safely. But who? I had no idea, as everyone in this pack was loyal to Maddox. Or I should say loyal to his Alpha command. I scoffed as I shook my head. I had been in this pack for over two months to replace the former Beta, and until now, I had no idea what had happened to him. I tried asking Maddox, but he ignored me, and no one else was saying anything either. Even Gamma Kenzo. It was then that all my gut feelings were confirmed. This pack was running under his Alpha command. And I knew I had just made the right decision to accept this post, even if I never wanted to be a part of the ranks. In fact

BETA ANDREW. I was at the South border when a vehicle passed by one of our cameras that monitor cars heading in our direction. This was the first time I had seen this type of car with this color within the territory. This car was expensive and meant for heavy and rough driving, which I would notice if I saw it around, but it did look familiar. I just couldn’t pinpoint where I saw it. It didn’t take long before the car stopped at the border. I prepared to meet the guest while ordering three men to go over and request the window roll down, but they didn’t have to as the driver’s seat door opened, and Alpha Jace came out. “Alpha Jace, good afternoon.” I immediately stepped forward to stand by the barricade separating us from the neutral ground. “Good afternoon, Andrew. Is Alpha Lawrence around?” He nodded as he approached. His face was grim, different from a face devoid of any emotions I would see from him. “Yes, Alpha,” I answered curtly. “I want permission to enter your territor

BETA ANDREW. “How could you let them enter here with your sister’s mate tagging along his mistress?” Luna Charina was fuming with her words. I swear there was more than one person who growled inside the room, including her own son. I held my breath as Zoey grabbed her mother’s arm and dragged her toward the door, something Zoey had never done her whole life, but she looked feral at the moment as she scowled at the Luna. And for some reason, even if this was inappropriate at the moment, I liked this side of her, as Zoey had always been prim and proper. “I’m sure you are not invited here, Mom.” She told her in a firm tone before nodding at her brother, telling him she would handle this. We knew that if Lawrence took this one in his hand, the whole packhouse would hear his loud voice again, as he would often lose his patience whenever he clashed and fought with the Luna. I waited until Zoey and Luna Charina, who kept talking and bashing Tyler, left the room before I followed th

FORMER LUNA CLAIR.‘Princess, are you awake? We just crossed the border.’ Jake’s voice rang in my head, and my body immediately jolted up before I could even open my eyes.I told myself I would just rest for a while, but I eventually fell asleep. ‘I’ll see you soon. I love you.’ I answered. I kept the message short as I got out of bed, pulled off my sleeping clothes, and put on my regular clothes.I smiled despite the heaviness in my heart. Decades had gone by, and yet Jake had always addressed me as his princess in privacy and referred to me as his queen in public. And hearing him call me princess today was the love and strength I needed to face my daughter. I’d been wanting to see Catherine, but I had no idea how I would react once I saw her. I kept telling myself I should keep my emotions in check, but how does a mother do that perfectly? How do you move forward after seeing your daughter live the nightmare you almost went through and would not wish for anyone else? When I was a

FORMER BETA GAVIN. “Purity can’t be dead, Dad.” “Will it matter to you that she’s wolfless?” “No. Not that one. I just don’t want to lose Purity.” “The Goddess listens, Tyler. Don’t lose hope…” “The Goddess never loved me, Dad.” “Don’t say that.” “I don’t even know what I did or what Catherine did wrong. I did try to love Zoey. I tried, but is it our fault if we love a different person? I never abuse Zoey, so it is so fucking unfair that Catherine had to suffer like this when she was the purest soul I have ever met.” I pulled Tyler into my arms and hugged HIM, holding the back of his head as I whispered my response. “There are things we can never answer, but that doesn’t mean it is yours or Catherine’s fault. This was all on Maddox and how he chose to be.” “I think Catherine is my second chance mate,” he said almost immediately after I finished speaking. “What do you mean?” I pulled him away from my body as my forehead creased. Second chance mates were very rare, and I was s

TYLER. I had no idea how long we were in the bathtub in total silence before I broke it between us. “What do you want to do today?” “What do you mean?” She asked. “Do you want to go downstairs and eat with the rest of our families? Or do you want us to go somewhere else with just the two of us, or just stay in bed?” I wanted to add so we could talk, but I was able to stop myself just in time. I didn’t want to pressure her until she was ready. “Can you stay, or do you have to work?” “I can call in sick. I’m sure my boss will allow it as I have been a good Beta.” “I don’t want to be left alone.” She said this, ignoring the joking remark that I made. “The last three days were already too much for me, Ty. I don’t know if I can feel safe being alone again.” I opened my mouth to say something, but I was lost for words, so instead, I pressed my lips on the top of her head as I hugged her tightly, listening as she continued to speak. “I was so brave in there. You’ll be proud of me and

(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
