Cassandra MHere's for tonight. I just want to advise that there will be no chapters on Thursday as I need more time to prepare for my new book coming out this Friday. I'll be back either Saturday or Sunday for this story. So hang in there, lovelies! I know you are all eager to meet Joshua's mom. ^_^ Thank you for all the lovely comments and the gems! Please keep them coming! 💜

JOSHUA. I was at the Blood Moon Pack with Alpha Aeon when the call came that told me Alice was at the border of our territory. This female definitely could not be told. I had been avoiding her calls and never called her back, but still, she didn’t get the hint that I didn’t want to communicate with her at the moment. But then I remembered that the full moon would be in a couple of days, and she probably wanted the rejection. But there was no fucking way I would give it to her. I admit that prior to seeing her in Catherine’s union, I had made up my mind to reject her. I was so done with Mom ringing my ear off by telling me to cut any ties with Alice. I just wanted to get it over and done so we could all move on and I could still be in the running for the Alpha post I wanted all my life. I knew I was the rightful heir, but if you had lived your life knowing it could be taken away from you any fucking time, you would certainly behave like me. I wanted to do everything, and I m

ALICE.I called Roan, and I got an earful from my brother. He obviously didn’t want me to be here after his encounter with Joshua, but I told him to trust me on this one. I assured him that Joshua promised he would look after me, even if Joshua didn’t say anything like that except to have my back against his mother.Roan was still hesitant about my decision, but I told him I wanted to do this for myself and for my wolf, Nala. “I’m still not understanding why you are pushing for this, Alice. Just ask for the rejection.” He said, sounding annoyed.“I told you I didn’t want to without trying to see if this would work between us. You think I’m being stubborn again, but you will understand once you meet your mate.”“You know that is next to impossible.” He said, letting out a sigh. He was right. If the females in our family never met their fated mate in recent decades, so did the males in recent years. Most of our cousins would joke around that our bloodline was cursed, so no one really

ALICE. “It’s my least favorite because it’s light in color. But damn it, you are rocking it, mate.” Joshua said, and it made my heart flutter. “Flattery won’t get you anywhere…” I told him, rolling my eyes. “I’m happy with the kisses, like the ones I got earlier... for now. So come here, doll, and give your mate a kiss.” He said cockily. “Kiss your ass!” I pushed on his chest. He chuckled and moved back as I stepped outside the door, closing it behind me, but he instantly moved forward, trapping me between him and the door. “I would rather kiss and eat your ass…” “Someone is sexually frustrated.” I teased him. “I’m not going to lie, I am. But I’m trying to control myself and just asking for a kiss.” “Should I give you a tap on your back?” “No. A simple kiss will do…” He said hoarsely before he leaned closer and captured my lips. And I was caught in between again — wanting his kisses and not wanting to make him see how he was affecting me. My hands went to his shoulders, grip

ALICE.I just finished brushing my teeth. We just had an early breakfast and were about to head off to the Blood Moon Pack. And since I had no clothes, Joshua gave me another shirt to wear. It was a good thing that I had a semi-formal business coat in my car so I would still look presentable when we met Alpha Aeon and Luna Alexa.But I had told Joshua we needed to make time after the Blood Moon Pack so I could buy some clothes. He didn’t say anything, but he didn’t object either.After dinner last night, Joshua did try to make his way into my room, saying he just wanted to hang out with me, but I said no. Which was a hard thing to say because whenever he smiles and licks those soft lips, my pussy throbs hard.But I couldn’t let him take control of us. There was no denying that after what he did at dinner, he left a good impression, but it was something a mate should do for his mate and nothing extraordinary. I liked Joshua, and although I was not sure this bond would last, I was wil

ALICE. “Do you think this would work? Even if everything and everyone is against us?” He asked without looking at me. I focused my eyes on the road before I answered, but I just let him hold my hand, letting the sparks dance between our skins. “Even us are against us.” “I’m not…” He said. “You walked away from me on the Claiming Ball. I smelled you, and then it was gone. I think that was my lowest point.” I kept blinking back my tears, but they kept pooling in my eyes. “I know I’m not liked by many, but it hurts because even with the bond, my mate doesn’t like me.” “Don’t say that. There’s nothing wrong with you. It was all on me. I was confused. My parents would never approve. I wanted to be an Alpha, Alice. When all your life you’re being threatened that you would not have it if I didn’t show the quality of an Alpha they wanted, you would understand.” He took my hand and brought it to his mouth, just letting it stay there. “But when that fucking Alpha held your life in his hand,

ALICE. I was nervous the moment we faced Alpha Aeon and Luna Alexa. I wasn’t sure if they knew about me and Amara, and how I almost attacked her when she was pregnant. I wasn’t even sure if Joshua knew about it. I didn’t want him to know. So I was terrified Amara’s parents would let it slip and might jeopardize whatever Joshua and I had. For some reason, I didn’t want him to remember how I was before all of this. So I kept holding my breath. I couldn’t even look the couple in the eyes when they asked how I was. But so far, they have been civil and pleasant. A part of me didn’t want to believe it was possible after all the stunts I pulled out at the Black Shadow Pack. In the end, Luna Alexa asked me if I wanted to come with her to the nearby flea market that they had that weekend. I didn’t want to. I had a feeling she would corner me and confront me about Amara. But as much as I didn’t want to, Joshua convinced me to go with her, as he and Alpha Aeon would be discussing thi

ALICE. The rest of the day I spent with Luna Alexa was lighter and calmer. She told me to move past the thoughts that she was upset with me and just enjoy the day, which I did. I bought some fresh fruits that Joshua and I could eat while driving, as well as some clothes that I could wear for the next couple of days. I was hoping Joshua and I could go together and shop for clothes I could use for the rest of the week, as I really wanted to spend time with him. He probably hated shopping, and I hated him, so it was just fair we spent time together doing this thing. I chuckled at my own thoughts because they didn’t make sense. Well, I hated his cockiness, but I liked having him around. He was eye candy, and I was addicted to his kisses. Or maybe, even if I kept denying it, I was starting to like him a little too much. “So, for the last time. A separate room, or can we occupy the same room but with separate beds?” Joshua asked for the nth time. I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms
THE BETA AND I UM - 014
JOSHUA. I was already upset that no matter how hard I tried, Alice was not giving in. She still wanted a separate room. Yes, I was fucking upset because I wanted to fuck her. It was getting harder to control myself, especially since she was around me. But if I was strong-headed, she was fucking strong-willed. Or maybe not. The moment I reached the reception area, I already regretted choosing this hotel. How the fuck would I know the receptionist here was one of the females I picked up and fucked with a long time ago? I couldn’t even remember her name, but I was sure my face was buried in those big tits showing off on her low-neckline blouse. I wanted to turn around and just leave, but it was too late. I could only wish she didn’t remember me. But fucking tough luck — I was an Alpha heir, and I made sure every female I fucked knew that. I wanted to rush the transaction, cutting the female from saying more, but my little mate seemed to feel my discomfort and rubbed it on

(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
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
