The Beta's False Mate Chapter 29
Then Time passed by at work. The kids were a little extra rambunctious today, but still such sweethearts. We were all currently outside enjoying some sunshine on the playground behind the pack house. Gloria was currently helping kids get themselves across the monkey bars because heaven forbid they try to attempt it themselves without a teacher there to support them. I was put on the field with some of the bigger kids, all kicking a soccer ball back and forth- attempting to explain the rules of soccer without any of the kids understanding at all the definition of the word ‘team’. That's when I heard a scream. I quickly scanned the kids and noticed the screaming came from a young girl next to the fence. “What happened?” I huffed when I ran over to her. She was on the ground, holding her leg which had blood dripping profusely from it. Little Lucy stood next to the girl looking up at me blank faced. “Smoke come and hurt her.” She stared at the bleeding leg. “A what?” Another kid- a

This did not turn out to be fun. Now, don’t get me wrong- Lucy has been an angel, through and through. But- where an angel dwells, a demon lurks in its shadow.That demon turned out to be named Dax Lockwood. It had not even been thirty minutes since Luna Grace left that Dax had tried to break every single valuable item in the house, take a knife to the couch cushions (granted, it was a butter knife but the intent remains), and attempt to get footprints on every white wall in the goddamn house. I couldn’t take my eyes off him for a second because if I blinked, he was already gone!I felt like I witnessed Thing 1 and Thing 2 from Cat in the Hat be melded together by a satanic ritual with the purpose of bringing armageddon to the world. The child was evil incarnated. At this very moment, I was chasing the demon child through the house and had cornered him to the top bedroom hallway. The chupacabra was cackling like a witch, naked as the day he was born, and dangling my phone from his

“Are you avoiding me again?” He whispered sensually in my ear. I gulped, keeping my eyes away from the intense energy radiating from him. I couldn’t tell if he was angry with me or lusting after me.My money was on both. “Am I what?” I pretended like I didn’t hear him. Carter growled softly and nipped my ear, not enough to hurt but enough for me to understand the message.“Don’t act coy.” He murmured his scolding, a small tsk coming from his lips. “Carter, why did you bite Paisley’s ear?” The soft angelic voice of Lucy sounded behind us, coming from the kitchen doorway. Not being able to withstand the intoxicating scent radiating off of him, I stood up and widened the gap between us. “Lucy!” I forced an extremely wide smile on my face hoping it would hide the red blooming from my cheeks. “Are you feeling better, sweetie?” I rounded the couch and scooped the little angel in my arms. She smiled and cuddled up to my chest. “Yea, but I’m hungwy .” She rubbed her belly. I felt the prom

“And… he’s out.” I whispered in Carter’s ear- a secret grin on my lips. Carter chuckled and leaned over me to watch Dax finally give in to his body’s wishes and thoroughly ‘clunked out’.Ever so carefully, Carter detached himself from my side and gently lifted Dax in his arms. “I got him, if you want to grab Lucy?” Carter gestured to the tired little girl curled up on the loveseat with a blanket. Her light snores sounded so delicate against the quiet, still night.I nodded and carefully eased Lucy into my arms, who immediately wrapped her arms around my neck and cuddled against my chest.I stopped in surprise at her affection. Something in my heart squeezed and I found myself holding onto her a little tighter, even going as far as to leave a kiss on her forehead.Carter smiled affectionately at us for a moment and took off up the stairs. With a nod, he told me where Lucy’s bedroom was and went further down the hallway for Dax’s.I pushed open the white door and stepped into a picture

The sound of footsteps halted us in our intimate moment. We quickly separated from each other, though not as far as I would have liked. Carter kept me glued to his side with his arm wrapped around me as Alpha Damien came down the hallway from the front door.It wasn’t hard to figure out what we were doing with my tousled hair and red cheeks, and Carter’s shit eating grin. Alpha Damien raised a brow and sighed in exhaustion. “Don’t you have your own house you can do that at?” He shook his head but didn’t expect an answer. Though- Carter gave him one anyway.“Yes, but your place is so much more fun.” He grinned cheekily, and Alpha Damien let out a chuckle.“Did you come here for a purpose or was it just an excuse to distract your mate from watching my children?” “Can’t it be the latter?” He quirked a brow. Alpha Damien rolled his eyes, and Carter laughed in response “Alright, you caught me. I put the meeting notes on your desk from earlier tonight. You can sift through them when you g

“And that’s when everything changed.”He blinked over and over, looking anywhere except my face for a few moments before he forced himself to show a neutrally blank expression- his mask. Carter took a lock of my hair between his fingers and played with it. If he needed the distraction, I certainly wouldn’t stop him.“Our families decided to…” Carter looked around uncomfortably and pulled me closer, as if using me to ground him. “They decided to … train us, I suppose. Well, that’s what they always called it, anyway.”“Train you together?”“I say us, but we’d never actually met. I found out later that Damien went through almost the exact same thing so it’s easier to just say us.” Carter sniffed and rubbed his nose.“What did they make you do?”Carter nodded. “Sometimes we fought, sometimes we took a beating… or were starved, or had our heads pushed underwater over and over, or thrown out in the cold and told to make it to the end of the week.” Carter said nonchalantly and shrugged. His

I cracked my back and winced from the ache I felt there. I had spent too long hunched over last night. Why was I hunched over half the night, you ask? Devil Denise. That’s why. She spent an extra long time lecturing me last night and as punishment, she made me scrub the grout on the tiles in the whole entire kitchen. Her reasoning was that not only did she catch me spending more time with Carter, but I had stayed out extremely late without telling her beforehand. Did I mention to her that Paisley was an adult?No, because then I would have had to clean the grout in the upstairs bathrooms as well. How on earth did Paisley even deal with that woman? Or better yet, how did Phil? He married her.But hey, at least I got some great grout cleaning tips out of it. The keyword: Toilet Bowl Cleaner.I walked down the hallway of the packhouse on my way to the cafeteria for my lunch break. We got free lunches as part of being a childcare worker. Apparently it was taco tuesday, and you won’t
The Beta's False Mate Chapter 36
The office was unrecognizable to how I left it barely an hour ago. The desk was pushed further back, one of the chairs was flipped over, there were papers all over the floor, cabinets were strewn open and there were tootsie roll wrappers everywhere. At first, I was so shocked by the state of the room that I didn’t notice Carter anywhere. “Carter?” I called as I walked over the loose papers and desk items strewn about the floor. As I rounded the desk, I realized why I hadn’t seen Carter when I first came in. He was resting against the corner by the shaded window, so still that I would have thought he was a piece of furniture because of all the chaos throughout the room. Carter was a wreck. His hair looked run through numerous times, his clothes were haphazardly untucked and pulled, even one of the top buttons of his dress shirt was undone. But what startled me most of all- was his face.The once brilliantly shining man whose smile could stop a crowd, looked ashen and hollow. His ey
