ALPHA MADDOX. The days after Catherine went missing were not easy. My wolf was weak for a few days before he was able to regain energy. I had checked many books written to explain the mate bond and rejection, but I couldn't fathom why Catherine's rejection backfired. All books explain that the pain is carried by the one doing the rejection unless an Alpha demands to carry the pain on behalf of the one rejecting him. And I was sure I didn't ask for it. I even told her to carry all the effects of what she did. Yet the pain I experienced was so great that I passed out after accepting her rejection. And my wolf became too weak. But it was all in the past. I had more things to focus on. I found out that the Galharts had taken Catherine home. I should have expected that, as she went missing just as her family was leaving. I just couldn’t believe my fucking people didn’t see her get out of the border, and no matter what footage Kenzo checked, they couldn’t see anyone crossing the pe

BETA XANDER.I was getting tired of walking through the forest. Not that I was not fond of nature, but I just wanted the night to end and find Nadine. If I hadn’t met Catherine and gotten to know her on the three days she was in our territory, I would have ditched this whole thing and just made up a reason why I could not enter the arena and spend the whole night with my mate instead. But my conscience would not allow me to just abandon the female who kept fighting to get away from Maddox’s clutch, something my mother was not able to do.‘Where are you?’ The Alpha dug into my head.‘I don’t know.’ I tried to sound alert, but I was fucking tired of his scheme.‘Can you check Gray by the stream and see if there is news about Andrew? I saw Zoey almost at the end of the arena. I don’t want him anywhere near her.’My hands coiled into fists, but I kept my emotions in check while I listened to him. He asked me to take two syringes and give them to Gray. Of course, he didn’t want his hands

BETA XANDER. “Let her go!” A loud voice roared in the air as all eyes shifted to the man who had just arrived and stood behind Tyler. The same man I almost bumped into earlier I was hoping he was an Alpha, but his aura was weak. Weaker than mine. Why the fuck do I get Betas? Where are all the fucking Alphas? His hand loosened around Alice’s throat as he chuckled. “Look, who do we have here? Another one who wants Catherine. Maybe I should let you and Beta Tyler have a showdown first?” “Let her go!” He repeated at the same time Alice asked. “Are you claiming Catherine?” Pain flashed in Alice’s eyes as the man’s face softened. “Did I fucking ask you to speak?” Maddox roared, and his clasp on her neck tightened, making her choke again. “Fuck you!” The man growled, as did Tyler, while my body jerked up. In seconds, the man was already beside me. I almost wanted to hit Maddox as I was nearer, but he immediately loosened his grip again and laughed. “You are claiming Catherine, and

BETA ANDREW. The long walk from the stream to the end took too much of a toll on me. I was known for my stamina, but whatever poison they put into my food was strong. But I was thankful I was still standing. I threw up almost my whole intestine earlier and drank too much water, but both actions provided relief and helped me regain my balance. In the end, young Alpha Walker asked Wentworth to connect with his Alpha, Alpha Ledger, to meet us, as I needed to be at the end of the arena. Alpha Walker decided to stay behind to make sure that Alpha Gray would not be able to recover or cause more damage or harm to anyone. Along the way, we met Arlo before we finally crossed paths with Alpha Ledger, who said he had not encountered anyone so far and was already bored inside the forest. They volunteered to put me on their backs so we could speed the trail to the end, but my fucking ego didn’t want to. I was here to claim my female, and I wanted her to be proud that I did run, walk, and d

BETA XANDER. “Stay where you are and tell Tyler to go to the end of the arena.” Maddox’s voice rang in the air, and I could see the victory on his face. I wanted to mock him for his cowardly ways, hiding behind a female to make the others do his bidding. But I was just as cowardly as him. I couldn’t make my move. I felt fucking useless. I was torn between saving the females from these arenas and the pack I had grown to love. “I can’t do that! I can’t force the Beta to do that!” Joshua said. Alice closed her eyes, but I saw the pain in them before she did. “Are you not an Alpha, Alpha Joshua? Or maybe she was just not as important as I thought she was to you.” The hand on Alice’s neck moved, tilting her head up. Alpha? He’s an Alpha. But why was his aura lower than mine? I kept my eyes from dilating as my heartbeat picked up its pace. “Alpha Joshua…” I mumbled so low, but I didn’t look at anyone as I moved near Maddox. I was glad he didn’t stop me. He probably needed someone by

TYLER. Brandon and I trod the remainder of the forest, and just when I could pick up the noise of the industrial generator, another bump on the road showed up. Eugene. He stood in front of us as his eyes dilated. “Beta to Beta.” “We’re two. You’re only one,” I said calmly. “So?” He answered arrogantly. “Joshua already raised the white flag and would not be Claiming Catherine,” I added. “So?” “What the fuck is wrong with you?” Brandon snapped at him. “Joshua doesn’t want her anymore, but I do.” He said mockingly, but he was not able to finish his words when I leaped in the air and landed a punch on the bridge of his nose, making him growl as he dropped to his ass. I didn’t care if it was a joke or not. I could still vividly hear his remark about Catherine when I crossed paths with him earlier. I shouldn’t have left him until he was unconscious and tied him to the top of the tallest tree so no one could find him after the Claiming. Brandon held my shoulder. “Go. I can

(YOUNG) ALPHA JOSHUA. I watched as Kairo and Cyrus tied Alpha Maddox and Julian’s bodies with vines while Xander requested that only his hands at the back be tied. He said he had no intention of fighting as he was still under my command. He was lying. I was so focused on Alice that my mind wasn’t functioning well earlier. I had never thought about it, not that I had never used it. I did — many times before, especially when I wanted to have fun but was not able to when I needed to. And I had no idea why the Beta was lying. But I didn’t say anything, as everything turned out in my favor — he saved my ego and Alice. My heart clenched in pain as I watched the petite female in my arms. She was unconscious, and yet her forehead was creased as if she were upset or furious. I wondered if she ever had a serene moment in her life. Because I never did. That may be the reason Selene paired us up. I never ran in her circle, but people talked, and I saw how she always pushed herself

ALPHA AEON.“Lady Alice is my fated mate!” Joshua growled as his clutch on Alice tightened. Loud gasps erupted all around the bleachers, including from Alexa beside me. But my eyes focused on the female sitting a few seats in front of us. Clair’s body was shaking as she gripped Jacob’s hand tightly.I did that to her. And I knew she could see herself in Alice.I needed to do something.I cupped my Luna’s head and pressed her closer to me before kissing her temple. “I’ll be back.”She looked at me with a confused expression, but she immediately nodded her head when our eyes locked. She must have seen something in them that she didn’t need to question me more about.I made my way out of my seat and into the aisle, proceeding to the stairs and going down from the bleachers.I entered the arena without any hesitation, but only a few steps in, Grant’s voice came on the speaker. “Alpha Aeon, you are not allowed inside the arena.”I ignored him and walked faster. I knew that anytime soon, h

(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
