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! 💜

THE BETA AND I UM - 007
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
