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
THE BETA AND I Chapter 101
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

(FORMER) ALPHA JAKE. I watched with pride as my daughter and Tyler walked hand in hand, grinning from ear to ear, toward the arena exit with the other couples while the whole family waited a few meters away. Clair and Alia sobbed happily as they checked the fated mate mark on Tyler as well as the other mated Beta couples. Finally, my heart could be at peace knowing my pups ended up with the people they loved. But I knew another adventure was about to start. The Claiming ended successfully for these couples, but I was just waiting for Grant to assault me with his words again, especially after I hauled Martin away from Alice. Everyone could say I was too old to meddle inside, but seeing Martin, who was just two years younger than me, aim for a female the same age as my daughter did not make me feel any guilt about coming for him. I would do it again in a heartbeat if I needed to. There were no regrets at all. The arena was empty except for us. After all the hugs and congratulat
THE BETA AND I Chapter 106
BETA XANDER.I walked with my chin up, refusing to look anyone in the eyes as we traversed the remainder of the forest to the final arena. Alpha Caleb’s men, Alpha Gray’s men, and our warriors came to pick us up. The moment they were free from the rope binding them, both Alpha Gray and Beta Julian left without even throwing a glance at Maddox. It was better that way, as I never wanted them to ask what happened to him.Orion, my wolf, didn’t agree that I just let Beta Brandon beat me up without fighting back. He even attempted to take over, but I guess my will was stronger than my wolf’s tonight because I was able to control him. But everything ended well. I heard Catherine was claimed by Tyler and Zoey by Andrew. Everything ended well for them, but I was not sure for myself.Maddox was still unconscious. I knew his wolf was not the same after Catherine rejected him. He was weaker. This was probably the reason he did everything to cheat tonight. I wondered if, if he woke up, he woul

CATHERINE. “Come on, let’s go ahead at the packhouse.” Tyler tugged my hand before his arm coiled around my body, guiding me to face him before he hugged me. I rested my head on his chest as I responded. “Are we not going to wait for the rest? They wanted to see Maddox out of the forest.” “Do you want to see him? Because I don’t. I was so tired looking at his face earlier.” He feigned a grunt, and it made me giggle. “Then let’s go ahead. I don’t want to see him too.” I told him. Tyler and I walked with our arms around each other and headed for the car Cameron let us use. Which I was grateful for. As much as I loved my family, I just wanted Tyler with me tonight. The hours inside the arena were so torturous that by the time I saw him, I couldn’t help but burst into a loud cry. Facing Maddox made me shed tears, but I didn’t cry hard. But when I saw Tyler raising his hands in the heavens and asking me to claim him, I lost it. My emotions overwhelmed me tonight, but I welcomed it
