GAVIN
As I had predicted, the conversation with Elder Garett did not go the way I wanted it. He informed me and the Alpha that Alia´s attempt to reject me was the reason her wolf died. In the history of mate rejection, the human and his or her wolf should have shared the sorrow and pain that accompanies the rejection. But it was possible that Sky absorbed all the pain to protect Alia.
I was still baffled because the rejection wasn´t successful.
Elder Garett said he didn´t have an answer for that. But he assumed Alia's wolf was aware that her human was fragile and would not survive the ordeal.
My heart was pounding and my hands were clenched the entire time he spoke. He continued pointing out Alia's weakness as the reason for her wolf's death. But who should I hold accountable? Alia? Caspian? Or her Father? Everyone who kept her guarded and vulnerable?
I had no use for the past anymore, and blaming anyone would not bring her wolf back.
Here´s for today, just a little sneak preview of the full moon... However, I will be late (really late) in uploading for tomorrow since we have some volunteering at my daughter´s school for a Christmas event. If I can´t upload tomorrow, I will give you 2 chapters early the next day (Saturday). Thank you for sticking with us and for your kind words, and of course those lovely GEMS. The Beta is Mine is on #2 at the moment for New Gems, alongside great books and authors! So thank you from the bottom of my 'werewolf' heart! :) xoxo, Cassandra M
GAVIN I took the quickest shower I had ever taken in my whole life since I was eager to cuddle with Alia and smell the first indication of her heat. Jake warned me that it would be a wild night because it was the first heat after I marked her, and I think I was more than prepared. Even without her heat, I would still want to fuck my mate tonight, but then, who was I to complain if her heat would serve as an aphrodisiac that could heighten our mating even more? Just the thought of running my hands over her soft skin plus the fact that I would be able to eat her p***y and ram my c**k inside her tonight was enough to give me an instant hard-on, like every fucking time. I dried off my body and walked out of the bathroom naked. I could see Alia staring at me with her mouth slightly open as I made my way to the closet, picking up sweatpants to put on. "You´re drooling, baby..." I teased her, slipping on the pants in my hands. "I´m not!" She
GAVIN "Oh, Goddess!" Alia was a total mess, moaning wantonly as her body squirmed and wriggled while I was feasting on her sweet and wet p***y. She tastes so fucking good that I could eat her whole day and would still not get enough of her. She bucked her hips into my mouth, as I continued to tongue fucked her sex before inserting two thick fingers on it. My fingers continued what my tongue was doing while I moved my lips to her swollen numb, while enjoying her body´s response to my assault. "Gavin!!!" Her body jerked forward, and then she stiffened in her position, hinting that her orgasm was nearing. I abruptly withdrew my fingers as she hissed in annoyance, baring her teeth at me. I ran my fingers over her lips and she opened her mouth and licked her juices from it. "Patience little mate..." I told her as I placed my d**k at her soaking wet entrance. "Hold your lips apart..." I ordered her in a deep voice and her trembling hand reac
SKY. “I, Alia Williamson, reject you, Beta Gavin Salvatore, as my mate...” Alia began with her rejection of our mate, and I immediately growled. I was not in agreement with her action, and I attempted to push my way out to prevent her from making the biggest mistake of her life. But she shoved me to the back of her mind and went on while my heart broke. “...and as my Beta! May the Goddess, sever our bond and let me live free from you and your fucking ways!” She spat in anger, and my heart crushed as I watched our mate stand rigid in his spot, his eyes showing hurt and betrayal from Alia’s rejection. I snarled and growled at Alia, baring my fangs at her as anger coursed through my whole body, but before I could do more, a shooting pain erupted in my chest, reaching every part of my body. I howled in agony at the exact moment that Alia clutched her heart and gasped for air. No! No! Please, not Alia! I hissed and retreated to the back of her mind. She thought I was abandoning her,
ALIA As soon as Gavin placed me on the ground, my bones continued to snap and I could feel my face elongating and my furs coming out of my skin. In seconds, I was already looking at my paws padding the earth gently. Sky howled at the moon above as Gavin kneeled beside us, wrapping his arms around Sky´s body. I could feel Gavin´s body shaking as he leaned his face into Sky´s fur, inhaling her scent. The bond between us let me know he was glad to see Sky back, and I felt the same way. A big burden has been lifted from my shoulder as I caressed Sky´s fur inside my thoughts. Sky whimpered and started licking our mate´s face to which Gavin replied by kissing her snout and rubbing the furs on her neck. Gavin shifted into his wolf, and we let our Kurt and Sky run and play for a while. I thought everything was going well and that we were back to normal until Sky requested to spend time with me alone. 'Gavin...' I reached for my mate th
GAVIN I watched and waited as Alia attempted to reach out to Sky. And after waiting for what felt like an eternity, Alia started sobbing, and it crushed my heart. I took her into my lap and wrapped my arms around her, embracing her even more tightly. I shouldn't have given her false hope. "She's back..." She spoke in a low, almost inaudible voice. I snapped from my own thoughts and drew her body away from mine, my hands clutching her arms as I tried to catch her gaze. "What exactly do you mean? Did the Goddess... return Sky to us?" I fumbled on my words, a part of me was worried that I misinterpreted her statement. She nodded, just letting her tears flow, "The Goddess, she gave us another chance. She told Sky she´ll be watching us, and to never cross
GAVIN "Congratulations on your mating!" A high-pitched voice sounded in the air behind us. My body stiffened upon hearing her voice. Before I could confirm if my hunch was right, a low vibrated growl erupted from Alia´s chest as she slid down from my hold and drew her arms out to wrap me inside the sheets with her, covering half of my body. "What are you doing here?" She snapped while glaring at the female who was now standing almost beside us. Carrie. I took a deep breath and shook my head in disbelief. Of all days, why did she appear now? Not that I have anything to be afraid of, but I don´t want to tick off Alia and Sky just when we got Sky back. "Whoah!" Carrie raised her palms up in the air and stepped farther away from us. "I just came here to talk in peace. And to apologize. I meant no harm!" "How long have you´ve been standing there and gloating on his ass?" Alia was in a rage that I coiled my arms aro
GAVIN 'Gavin?' Alia reached out through our mindlink and my wolf immediately perked up upon hearing our mate in our head. 'Yes, beautiful? Missed me already?' I replied right away. I was in the middle of the training ground with Aaron. I was still not on duty but I had nothing else to do since Alia went to talk with Carrie that I volunteered to help Aaron instead with his warriors. 'I do... I always do. Are you busy?' 'Not busy for you. Do you want me to pick you up somewhere?' 'No. I'm okay? Where are you?' 'At the training ground. Is there something wrong?' 'Will there be a union for us?' I flinched at her question. I forgot about this when we woke up but I had no intention of hiding it from her. 'Alia... If only you want to have one. I'm not going to force you..' 'Do you want one, Gavin?' She asked, and I could feel her hesitation. 'Yes, of course. I want to make it formal and binding, n
ALIA Last night at the city with Gavin was amazing. He took me to one of the fancy restaurants and reserved a seat at the roof deck, overlooking the city. I wished I had a little more fancy dress on me instead of my usual jeans and top. But to be honest, it was special because I was with Gavin. Never did I once feel his attention faltering away from mine and the fact that he doesn´t mind that I was just on my jeans made me confident. He would look at me like I was the most beautiful female around. What more could a girl like me ask more? He was giving me everything I've always dreamed of. "Enough..." I pulled away from kissing him and started to fix the collar of his shirt. He was about to go with the Alpha at the other side of the territory while I would be in training with Jenny at the grounds. Gavin made a quick glance at the Alpha and Luna still wrapped in each other's arms before pulling me closer to him again, "They´re not yet done,
"Is this just a game to you?" Aaron's eyes were blazing with fire. He was attempting to keep his wolf under control. I should've been terrified, but I wasn't. "You tell me..." I smacked my lips together, pretending his anger didn't bother me at all. "You're confusing me." A growl revibrated from his chest, as his hands coiled into fists. He was ready to walk away when I held my palm against his chest. His eyes delved deep into mine, and I could see his desire growing. "You can have any female you want, and yet here you are, chasing after me when you know exactly that I don't like you." My finger trailed down from his nose to his mouth, brushing his soft lips gently. "Am I a challenge you're trying to win? Because you know I am someone you can't have? Off-limits? Your Alpha's sister?" I could feel his body reacting to my touch, and it was all I ever wanted
ALIA My eyes wandered to the scene below me as I stood on the balcony of our bedroom. The ground was buzzing with pups, and it was a fantastic way to kick off the summer. Gavin was still in the shower. I had no idea how we wound up in our room in the middle of the day, but it was nothing out of the ordinary. After all these years, we still couldn´t get our hands off of each other, that we would always sneak away to give in to our desires. The years just made the sparks grow stronger as the love that we have for each other. I was snapped out of my thought when I heard Catherine shriek with delight together with Marci
20 months after the Beta Union Ceremony ALIA It was Christmas Eve, and we were all gathered at the packhouse dining hall for Christmas Dinner. Since the Luna had experienced Christmases while living with humans, she had made it a tradition for us to celebrate the holiday as well. And since the Alpha's family was also observing the occasion, we had no problem making it big this year. Mom and Dad were here. So were David, Luna Clairand Aaron's father, and Caspian, who came with his mate. The table was alive with conversations, and I couldn't help but be overwhelmed by the abundance of love in this place. It used to be just me, Caspian, and my father over a special dinner, and seeing everyone around me now made tears well up in my eyes. Only one thing was missing, but I couldn't bring myself to ask or beg the Goddess for it. She has given me more than enough, and I would never dare ask for more. Gavin was enough. And this -&nb
6 MONTHS AFTER THE BETA UNION GAVIN I was standing by the balcony at the training building watching my beautiful mate walk side by side with the Luna as they made their way back from the Day Care Center. It´s been six months since the day that Alia was welcomed by this pack as their Beta Female and I couldn't be prouder at what she has accomplished in such a short time. The Luna and her were inseparable. The only time they would agree to separate ways were on times when the Alpha and I demand time from them. But I wasn't complaining. Just seeing Alia settled comfortably in this pack put my mind at ease. I could no longer see the Alia who spends most of her days hiding in her bedroom. Instead, I saw an Alia who would eagerly converse with the pack members or play with the pups she met everywhere. She was thriving here, in my pack, with me. My female. My Alia. If you asked me if I would rather meet Alia in a different circu
ALIAGavin and I walked back to the ballroom after our little tryst. As much as we wanted to just continue what we were doing, we know we had a responsibility to show ourselves to our guests."Alia!" I turned around and saw Andrea rushing towards us, she was grinning and beaming at us happily."Andrea!" I let go of Gavin´s hand and flung my arms open before pulling her for a big hug. "I missed you!" I squeezed her, excitement brewing in me. "How you´ve been? Oh my Goddess, look at you! All ladylike now!"She laughed, then spun around giddily while grasping the hem of her skirt. I giggled back softly, but my gaze was drawn away to my brother, who was standing on the opposite side of the ballroom, watching at us, his mouth twisting into a pleasant smile. I had never seen Caspian smile so adoringly before, and I was convinced he missed having Andrea around."Very lovely!" I tickled the tip of her nose which I usually do when we teased each
'I love you, Alia... I promised to be a better man,' I told her in our mindlink as I dropped my gaze from her while tears started to trickle from my eyes. I fucking felt so emotional right now knowing that I almost destroyed our bond because of my jealousy. Alia was also a mess as she kept squeezing my hand, trying to stop herself from hiccuping from her soft sobs. Elder Garett snapped the black rope around our wrists and melted it on the fire sitting on the table beside him. I really wanted to pull Alia in my arms but the ceremony was still ongoing. "It's time now." Elder Garett patted my back and I nodded as a reply. I wiped the tears from my eyes with the sleeves of my clothes before cupping Alia´s face to wipe all the tears on her face with my thumb. She chuckled softly before helping me wipe off all her tears. We then held each other's hands and let our fangs extend, both of our eyes were whirling black as we let our wolf out
ALIA I couldn't stop the tears from falling down my cheeks no matter how many times I told myself that everything would be fine. Gavin has hurt me in ways I could never have imagined. He no longer wanted to be mated with me, and my heart couldn't take it. Throughout the time that we were sorting out our emotions, he never once pushed me away, and he was the one who was always attempting to win me over, but this time, he simply agreed to let me go. I'm not even sure what I did wrong. I was trying to see past my tears as I pulled all of my clothing from our cabinet and put them on the floor before grabbing my suitcases. I was basically throwing everything in there. I had no idea what I was doing, I didn't want to leave Gavin, but I'm not sure my heart could handle it if he came back and was the one to tell me to leave. I kept crying the whole time that I couldn´t stop the hiccups from escaping my lips and before I knew it, Luna Clair was already
CASPIAN To say that I was shocked by Gavin´s action was an understatement. I never knew this man could disrespect someone but to leave my sister alone out of nowhere at their own party didn´t sit well with me. What the fuck was wrong with him? I watched as Alia followed him out of the ballroom, the crowd was looking as Alia kept calling his name but he never once looked back. Before I could approach my sister outside the Pavillion, Gamma Aaron took her already and they drove off to follow Gavin. "What happened?" In seconds, Alpha Jacob was already beside me. "I need to follow them, I think there´s been a misunderstanding. I don´t quite understand as well." I told Alpha Jacob as I took my car key from my pocket. "I´m coming," Alpha Jacob stated and I just nodded my head. "Me too," Riley added, and as much as I hated this man, I would rather have him away from Andrea at this point. "We'll take my
JANNA I held on to Alpha Caspian´s arm, brushing my palm against his skin. I wasn´t sure why I was doing this but I wanted him to de-stress. Eventually, his shoulder relaxed and I flashed a wide smile to him before turning my head towards the couple approaching us. "Alpha Caspian, great to finally see you again." The male with an Alpha aura was the first one to open his mouth the moment they stopped in front of us. My eyes darted to the female beside him. She was definitely tensed. "Alpha Riley, I wasn´t expecting you here." They exchanged hands but I could feel Alpha Caspian wasn´t pleased with the presence of Alpha Riley. His gaze shifted to the young female at the exact moment I looked at him, and I saw his eyes soften. The Female was looking everywhere, except on Alpha Caspian. He let out a deep sigh before turning his eyes on me, a warm smile tugging on his mouth. "And this lovely female in my arms is Lady Janna. Alpha J
