The Beta's False Mate Chapter 18
Somehow within the span of five minutes Carter managed to get me a job as a Preschool Teacher partnered with Gloria. Personally, I was surprised she accepted me so easily without a resume, background check, etc. Although, you couldn't necessarily turn down a personal recommendation from the Beta himself. Especially one as charismatic as he is. Now Carter and I were back in the truck after spending another half hour with the kids who turned out to be really sweet. I was immediately accepted into their group and they all wanted to take turns having me hold them and giving them hugs. One of the boys even made me a stick figure picture of myself. It was what I was currently looking at now.“You know, it looks so much like you, it’s uncanny.” He teased me.“Oh yea. Sure.” I sarcastically replied. “With my big lips, and arms longer than my legs.” I pointed to the stick figure’s odd body proportions. “What a looker.”“Hey.” He grumbled and took the picture from me. “That’s my girl you’re ta

“We can’t keep doing this Carter.” I groaned, putting my head in my hands.“I know.” Carter sighed next to me and put the car in drive.I deflated internally. It was hard enough trying to deal with Carter’s advances but with the sudden realization I made, it was that much harder to achieve my goal of keeping up the Paisley facade until she returned.“I can’t be with you Carter, you have to understand that.”“I do, Paisley.” His voice turned into a soft grumble.“Why is it so hard for us to just keep our hands off of each other?” I muttered to myself, my frustration leaking out from so many emotional sources. “Maybe because we’re not meant to stay away from each other?” He sarcastically replied.I glared at him through the side of my eye. “You said you understood that we couldn't be together.” I grit my teeth, trying to hold down my lustful energy turned anger. “I said I understood, not that I liked it.” He scoffed.“Well-” I hugged. “If we can’t keep our hands to ourselves, then ma

“There’s something important I need to ask.” Carter whispered softly in my ear. His breath tickled it ever so slightly causing goosebumps to rise.“What is it?” I murmured, keeping my eyes down at my burger. Carter leaned impossibly closer, enough that I had to inch back just to keep some personal space.“Are you avoiding me?” Carter’s eyes glinted with mischief and challenge.I cleared my throat and shrugged. “Just busy with work- you know, the job that you got for me?” The frustration was starting to build inside me and I had to clench my teeth to keep it down. “So you’re avoiding me.” Carter quirked a brow, popping a french fry in his mouth. “I just said-” I stopped myself and groaned, scratching at my scalp. “Are you trying to be annoying?” “I don’t know, is it working?” He smirked.I huffed and turned back to my food. The sexual frustration this man caused me was absolutely unreal. “Just leave me to my meal in peace.” I rolled my eyes.“I’m glad you’re enjoying it, at least.

“Carter!” A cheery voice shouted.I looked over to see Luna Grace leaving a room in the packhouse and she immediately started closing the distance between them, but stopped when she noticed me.“Oh! Dear me, are you in a meeting? Did I interrupt?” She glanced at Carter and me curiously, however something about her gaze seemed a little… “Not at all Grace, just spending some time with my mate.” Carter flashed a beaming smile, one that would send any woman to their knees however after spending a little time with the real Carter, I easily recognized his false polite mask. It was a good one, I’ll give him that, but the real question was- why was Carter Lockwood, the second lead of the book series giving his supposed best friend and cousin’s mate a polite smile mask? Weren’t they closer than that?“Oh. Oh! That’s right! You found your mate!” Luna Grace looked between me and Carter as if seeing us together was the cutest thing. She closed the distance between us and held out her hand for me

I was overthinking it. I knew I was overthinking it.Yet, I couldn’t stop pacing and I couldn’t stop changing my outfit. “It’s just a stupid dinner.” I muttered to myself for probably the tenth time in the last hour. My heart pounded erratically as I quickly unzipped the dress of the latest attempt at picking an outfit. I needed an outfit that was nice enough to show that I belonged in a group of high ranking wolves from different packs, yet something that didn’t stand out too hard. I had enough troubles so standing out was not what I needed at the moment.I also needed an outfit that was flattering for me yet wouldn't give Carter the wrong idea. The last thing I needed was Carter thinking I changed my mind about us and seducing me at dinner again. And if I wore a dress, there would be less articles of clothing as a barrier between us. I knew myself well enough to know now that if he touched my bare skin I’d turn to mush.I was basically pudding in his hands, and he knew it.And th

The room was filled with laughter. There were joyous alphas and beta males spitting out their alcohol, and embarrassed lunas and beta females who’d all glance at each other knowingly and roll their eyes. The room was packed with high rankers from four different packs not including our own. We were all cozied up at a long banquet table in the cabin-styled dining room, with patterned high backed cushioned chairs and an antler chandelier. Alpha Damien sat at the head, to his right was Luna Grace, looking even more angelic than usual.I wonder if it was the lighting.To the left of the alpha sat Carter, and I sat to the left of him. A luna of a pack I was unfamiliar with sat on my other side but we both must have been socially awkward because all we managed to do was politely smile at one another and nod and that was the end of our interactions. Another bout of deep throated laughter shook me from my thoughts. “If George really needs something to brace him, he might want to grab the hea

“Take action… as a united front?” Alpha James repeated warily. I surveyed the room. All of the alpha’s were tense, some eyeing one another. Carter even had a wary frown on his face, but it seemed more along the lines of concerned rather than hostile. I caught his eye and he leaned over.“The packs haven’t been united since the war, and even then it was extremely fragile. With multiple alpha’s, it tends to get a little…” He whispered softly in my ear. I would have been turned on if the atmosphere wasn’t so serious at the moment.“Tense?” I whispered back. "Something like that." He winced and nodded.The other high ranking wolves looked around the room with glazed eyes. It took me a moment to realize that they were mind-linking each other to discuss. This seemed to continue for a few more seconds until Carter turned to Alpha Cunningham.“What would being a united front entail exactly?” Carter asked the group. I was surprised he spoke up because it seemed that the beta male and females

“Now then-” Alpha Cunningham turned back to the rest of the table, “Any more questions?” He smirked.And like a beautiful dance, I witnessed Carter and the rest of the high rankers navigate through a minefield of tense negotiations.Wolf politics were interesting, if only for the fact that words had to be carefully crafted in every sentence so as not to offend any of the highly emotional and dangerous wolves. However, if a wolf needed to show their strength, they purposely tried to make the other uncomfortable.For instance, as questions were fielded about the legitimacy of the claims of wolf children being taken, Alpha Cunningham got swept up in a stare-off with the alpha who skeptically denied the validity of them earlier. The two refused to look away as it showed weakness and it took each of their luna’s to pull them away from nearly turning to a wolf at the dinner table and challenging each other. “How can you expect us to believe that they’re taken?” The same skeptical alpha gro

The Beta's False Mate Chapter 49
They say that when your body is under extreme distress, it triggers one of two reactions: Fight, and attack your opponent with either physical or intellectual strength; or Flight, and flee your opponent with terrifying speed fueled by adrenaline. What people don’t realize is that there is a third reaction when your body is under extreme distress, one that is not acknowledged as heavily as the others, and that is Freeze. Freeze locks your body into place or perhaps takes away your power to move your limbs. Everything is frozen in your entire body- except your mind. Your mind is racing with unparalleled thoughts far too fast to place any action in them. You’re simply helpless to the orchestrations of your mind and imprisoned by your body. You cannot move, speak, or even blink, yet your mind is screaming for you to do so and punishes you with thousands of synaptic thoughts pulsating your brain, frying it from the inside.I unfortunately belonged to this group.“What did you say?” Carte

My body was utterly exhausted, yet I had never felt better. It was a long night of passion, more than I had ever experienced in my life, yet he never penetrated me. Carter spent hours thoroughly ‘taking care of me’ as he called it, with half of it being on his kitchen table. Every time I tried to reciprocate his touches, his passion- he would simply grab my wrist and start kissing my palm and scold me with the mention of how I was too eager. “I just want to touch you. Don’t take away my pleasure tonight, beautiful,” he had said after my second orgasm when I had tried to grab his length. To punish me for going against him, he made the next session last twice as long before he allowed me to come. I had been in tears by the time he finally gave in. Even now, just the thought of all that we did last night sent heat straight to my core, along with the exhaustion from how tightly wound my body was last night.I felt a soft shift of a weight underneath me and a seductive rumble carry through
The Beta's False Mate Chapter 47
Carter Lockwood’s home was not as I expected it to be. Typically, significant characters in werewolf novels had such grand mansion-like houses with manicured lawns and a beauty to be envied by all who entered.Carter’s house- or should I say cabin, reeked of humble naturalness. It was a small cottage with natural foot pathways and wild plants growing all around, protecting the secluded little house from outsiders. Wildflowers peeked out in bloom in various areas and trees surrounded the house on the sides, tucking it nice and neat for an adventurous hiker who wanted a natural environment. For some reason, it seemed to fit exactly what I already knew about Carter and his soul. He wasn’t one to brag, and definitely wasn’t the one who liked the spotlight naturally, but rather had it forced on him from duty.I fell in love just looking at the beautiful little home. I don’t know how Carter knew what I was thinking but his wolf rumbled in approval at my satisfaction and pressed his nose de

“I told you to come to me when you need something, didn’t I?”I whipped my head around to see a familiar dark silhouette hiding in the shadows of the street. The figure took a step closer to light themselves under the pale yellow light of the nearby street lamp. Carter looked disheveled. His hair looked unkempt, like his hands ran through it over and over again. His tense muscles clenched as he slowly walked over to me, putting me in shadow as the back of him lit up like he was covered in heavenly glow.When my eyes finally traveled to his face, he was furious. Considering how much was going on tonight, I didn’t even want to try to analyze what was going through that mind of his. Not tonight. I was so tired.Carter held out his hand for me to grab. I simply stared at it.“Damn it, Paisley, just take my hand.” He sighed in frustration.Trying to put a halt in my tears, I eased my hand into his warm one. Without a second of hesitation, he pulled me to my fight and wrapped his arms aroun

“There you are! We were worried sick about you!” Denise and Phil ran out of the house. A look of genuine concern was on Phil’s face but Denise’s was obviously a burning fury disguised as concern. She assessed Carter for a moment before throwing her arm around my shoulders and trying to brisk me inside.“Thank you, Beta Carter.” She smiled tensely. “I’m sure my daughter put you through so much trouble tonight. We appreciate you taking her home.” Denise’s tight grip on my shoulders practically pushed me up the porch steps. I glanced over my shoulder to see Phil shaking Carter’s hand and thanking him earnestly for his help. Carter nodded respectfully but it was clear he was still filled with rage from what happened. He couldn’t take his eyes off mine as I was ushered over the threshold and into the house.Phil came in a moment later and shut the door just as Denise shoved me away from her.“How dare you!” She yelled, pointing her wrinkled finger at me. “All you’ve ever done is give me tr

“Are you really that clueless?” He stared at me. I blinked and backed up, the sexual tension melting away to a cold icy river between us. “Excuse me?” I raised my brow, feeling so cold suddenly. Goose bumps raised on the back of my neck.“You could have been killed going to a place like that! Why on earth would you go to a club- and a well known RIH club at that! Don’t you realize that just being mated to me makes you an enemy to them?!” Carter yelled, talking angrily with his hands. I stared straight ahead and merely folded my arms, the cold seeming into my bones. “You act like I had a choice.” I murmured.“Well, didn’t you?” He scoffed. “Your father told me tonight that you were having a sleepover at a friend's house. So you can imagine my surprise when I found you in a club when not only are you underage but the club is in the heart of the RIH community?”“You didn’t tell my father where I was, did you?” I whipped my head in his direction, fear creeping through me. “When I real

It was absolute chaos all around me. I couldn’t hear anything except the dull ringing in my ears from the gun that fired next to me but I could see the massive wolves ambushing the human men with guns. Guns fired from the men in a panic, lighting up the dark side of the alley for brief moments like lightning. I was shoved to the ground for a moment as T.J. screamed something in my ears, saliva spitting as he shouted something with pure rage directed right at me. Out the the corner of my eye I saw T.J. raise his gun once more and aim it at me but before he could fire, a large wolf tackled him to the ground, clamping his jaws around T.J.’s firing hand.The ringing turned to a small dull noise as shouting and screaming were starting to be heard in my ears. I sat up to watch the same wolf decimating T.J.’s arm and shoulder.It was Carter. I hadn’t had a chance to take in his appearance before because of the gun trained on me, but now that I was out of immediate harm's way- I gasped from
The Beta's False Mate Chapter 42
Beta Carter:I was a ball of boiling pure rage. My wolf had taken over my body as we listened to the phone call of two men disrespecting our mate. He was shaking with the desire for blood as we continued listening as we swerved through the streets, breaking all speed limits and barely avoiding accidents. All as we continued to search for Paisley.There was something that all wolves knew deep in their soul. It wasn’t spoken much but it was acknowledged as truth no matter how often others- humans especially, seemed skeptical of it. The phenomena was- that no matter where in the world a wolf was, no matter how far away they were from their mate, if they were in danger- their mate would always be able to find them. Some said it was because of the mate bond, others said it was because of the tying between their souls that brought them together- even if they were worlds apart. There was a pull in my soul, guiding me towards her- towards Paisley. Her soul was calling out to mine in ways that
The Beta's False Mate Chapter 41
Beta Carter:My wolf was growling at me- once again. I could feel him there, pacing in my mind. He wanted Paisley and he wanted her now. It was getting harder to control him every day but being summoned away by Damien just as we were about to taste her for the first time- that was his final straw. He was snarling at the mental barriers I put him behind, digging his sharp claws at my mind, making me wince. Keep it together Carter. Control your wolf.I’d always had a harder time controlling my wolf more than others excluding Damien. However, he seemed to embrace his out of control nature more than I which led to his ruthless nature. Something I had admired when I was young but lately…I knocked on the door to Damein’s office and waited for permission to enter. Damien was always a professional person and didn’t tolerate disrespect- no matter who it came from.I heard him mutter an ‘enter’ and let myself in. He was exactly where I left him a few hours ago. He was slumped over his desk wh
