ALPHA JACE.I should be sitting already on the spectator bleachers, but I needed to make sure Andrew would be able to get in, so I let Amara go with our moms and the rest of our families while Alonso and I remained inside the ballroom, looking at the males as they were confined in one big hall leading to the outside forest.I sent Hammond to check on Andrew just to make sure no one would corner him and stop him from entering the arena. Bellatrix went with him, and she reported back that the Beta was vomiting until nothing was coming out. But he couldn’t stop barfing, and he looked pale already.Bellatrix was concerned that something was wrong with the food they served, but I was leaning more toward the idea that someone wanted Andrew sick. We rarely get food poisoning from simple food problems. As shifters, our immunity was way stronger than humans. So I knew something was off.The signal sounded, alerting everyone that the females were already inside the forest and the males were abo

CATHERINE. “She’s mine to claim. Let her go.” Martin said, almost roaring as his eyes dilated. “Alice gets to decide who she wants to be mated with.” I snapped at him. “This is an arranged marriage, and you have nothing to do with this! Give me my mate!” “Alice…” I said in a soft voice as I stepped back, knowing she was stepping back as well. “One more time, tell me. Do you want him or not?” “I don’t want him.” She said with a trembling voice. I knew she was not faking it. Alice, for the life of me, had never shown any weakness until tonight. “Then run,” I said softly, my eyes not leaving Martin, who was slowly moving toward us. “But you…” She said. “Run!” I growled, and Alice sprang to her feet, taking Martin by surprise. He was about to launch after her, but I was faster. I was already running toward him as Alice ran in the opposite direction. I gripped the hem of my dress and leaped high, extending my right leg, and my foot landed on his chest. Martin growled loudly a

BETA XANDER.The man in front of me didn’t have an Alpha aura, but he definitely wasn’t just an ordinary Alpha male.A Beta like me.I slowly raised my palms, hoping he got the message that I was not up for a duel before I spoke to him. “I meant no harm.”“Of course you do. Or you won’t be here with your Alpha.” He said arrogantly.I swallowed. He knew. He was here for Catherine. “I will say it again. I meant no harm.”“Then leave the arena.” “I can’t.”“You won’t.” He said almost immediately as his eyes dilated, and I knew he would be attacking me soon.“Do you know Nadine?” I asked, trying to divert his anger.His forehead creased as he scoffed. “I know her. We grew up together. What do you want from her?”A pang of jealousy hit my chest at the protectiveness in his voice.“What’s your name?” I asked, shoving any negative thoughts in my head. Maybe they grew up in the same pack, and that was it. But I couldn’t remember the name of the Beta of the Crimson Pack.“I didn’t come here fo

(FORMER) ALPHA JACOB.I drank the coffee Caleb’s men prepared for us as we all sat on the back of Riley’s pickup.We never went to the same school, except for Aaron and me during our younger years, but sitting here with him, Aeon, Riley, and Nadia felt like that — as if we were pups kicked out of our class or, better yet, we skipped class to hang out.I tried to pacify my mind, smiling and chuckling at every funny anecdote that everyone was sharing to pass the time, but my heart was somewhere far away. I wondered what Catherine was doing and if there had already been any commotion in the arena.I didn’t regret defying and disrespecting Grant, as he deserved it, but at this point, my being a father was making me question if I did the right thing. Because of my outburst, I could not witness my only daughter’s Claiming. I wanted to be there for Catherine and my whole family.A beam of headlights blinded me for a while before it turned low. It didn’t take long before I recognized the car,

CATHERINE. “Zoey!” I yelled and sprang forward, too fast this time, that I could feel the end of the holster scratching my thigh, but I ignored it. “Oh, Goddess! Catherine!” She threw her arms up before they wrapped around mine the moment I reached her side. We were like two friends who hadn’t seen each other for a long time when, in fact, our bond had just formed a week ago. “I can’t believe we found the end so fast!” She exclaimed. “Did we?” My eyes widened as I pulled away from her arms. My body swiveled around, my gaze roaming the forest until I saw a path with brighter lights in the end. Zoey pointed in the same direction. “I think that’s the main arena! I’m sure those are spotlights!” She said giddily. I smiled and let out a sigh of relief. “We just need to get there or at the edge of the forest and mindlink our males to get to us. But we must hide behind the trees so if someone checks, they won’t see we are there already.” I kept nodding my head the whole time she was

BETA ANDREW. “Are you sure you’re still okay?” Young Alpha Walker asked me while sitting under a tree, playing with the twigs he grabbed from nearby while I was throwing my whole intestine out in one of the bushes around. We’ve already passed the first 100 meters of the forest. I was let in first before him, but he found me here and decided to stay to make sure I would get to the end. But my fucking knees were already weak from throwing up, and as much as my mind said I could go to the end, my body was not cooperating. I had already asked him to leave me here, but he refused, and honestly, I was thankful he stayed. I didn’t want to die on my own, as this was what I was feeling at the moment. ‘Zoey?’ I tried to reach her head. ‘Where are you?’ ‘I don’t know, but I think I’m reaching the end of the arena soon.’ ‘Good. Just stay behind the tree, and no matter what happens, don’t come out in the open field until you see me out.’ ‘Of course! Are you okay? You sound different.’ ‘

(YOUNG) ALPHA JOSHUA I smelled my mate, and I couldn’t believe it was Alice. Of all females, why did it have to be Alice Sullivan? I would not deny that I had seen Alice bloom into a beautiful female from the skinny girl that she was, who kept following Jace around. We went to the same academy, and although she had caught my attention while growing up, she was someone I was not supposed to have around. So, I stayed away from her and her group of friends. It would be a big catastrophe if I claimed her. Her mother, Luna Renee, was my father’s chosen mate before Alpha Drex intercepted her. And my mother was never fond of the idea that she was just a second choice. So I was not sure what the Goddess was playing at when she mated me to Alice. I wanted Catherine. I had always wanted her. And with the Alpha post being threatened to be passed on to my older cousin, Eugene, who also happened to be my future Beta, I was willing to do everything to take a Galhart home tonight, just to

TYLER. I met Brandon along the way after I left Eugene, and we have not encountered anyone so far. It had been so calm for a long time already that I was starting to worry. My only consolation was that Catherine found Zoey. At least, she was not alone. I hoped she would never encounter Maddox because I wanted to be the one to face him. I didn’t want Catherine alone with him or for him to add more torture to her. She had more than enough of him. I patted Brandon’s back before I spoke to him. “Let’s run. I have a feeling my female is already at the end, and Vicky might be there already.” He just nodded, and we began to amp up our pace until we were running, threading through the dark and deep forest with just one goal in mind — the end of the arena. By this time, we were already passing couples who were walking hand in hand, and although I was happy for them, I couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy cross my chest. I wish ours was just as simple: enter the arena, find each oth

(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
THE BETA AND I UM - Epilogue
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
