The Beta's Salvation TWENTY SIX
Sky's POVI slipped into my room, closing the door softly behind me, my body still humming from the run, from Lucy's warning, from the feeling of being watched.But the moment I stepped inside, my chest tightened.I smelled him.Zeke.The scent was subtle but unmistakable—earthy, warm, laced with the slightest hint of something that always made my stomach twist in ways I hated.Evie stirred immediately, her presence sharp and alert. He was here.I know. I scanned the room, my pulse picking up despite myself. There was no sign of him, no lingering warmth of his presence, but my wolf knew. He left something.And then I saw it. On the nightstand. A tray of food, still warm—eggs, toast, bacon, even coffee. My throat tightened. “How did I miss him, I had just been in the kitchen?” I asked Evie, who said nothing, to invested in purring like a damn cat. Next to it, a single note.One word."Soon."My breath hitched. A promise. But a promise for what?My fingers curled around the small piece

Sky's POVThe warmth of the early morning sun kissed my bare back, seeping into my muscles and easing the stiffness that had settled overnight. My body felt heavy, my mind still tangled in sleep, but the comfort was fleeting. I cracked one eye open, blinking against the golden light that flooded my room.And then I saw it.The tray. The fucking tray.I groaned, rolling onto my stomach, my forehead pressing into the pillow as frustration curled in my chest.I ate it.All of it.I had barely eaten at dinner, just stolen bites here and there, but my wolf had been starving. Tired, restless, pissed off. And when I had come back from my run, the smell of food had been too much to ignore.I hated myself for it.Hated that Zeke knew.Hated that he had been right—that I did need it."It's not a weakness to accept food from your mate, you know." Evie stirred in my head, stretching lazily."He's not my mate." I scowled, but deep down, something inside me twisted.Because even as I denied it, eve

Zeke's POVEvery muscle in my body was wound tight, my wolf pacing just beneath my skin as I watched Sky stand across from Kade, her fists clenched, her breathing uneven.She shouldn't be here.She knew it. I knew it.And Neo?He was going to fucking love making an example of her.Kade shifted on his feet, rolling his shoulders like he was waiting for permission to strike. The cocky smirk tugging at his lips sent irritation crawling up my spine. Of course, he was enjoying this.Kade was a bully. He always had been.He was the type of fighter who liked to push others past their limits just to watch them break. He enjoyed winding men up, digging at their weaknesses until they snapped. He made warriors stronger, sure—but not without casualties.I had hoped, just for a second, that he'd be a little more respectful of Sky.She was Neo's sister, after all.But now? Watching the way he sized her up, the way his hands flexed like he was eager to tear into her? I wasn't sure who I was more wor

Neo's POVThe moment I stepped onto the training field, everything stopped.The air shifted, thickening with unease. Warriors who had been mid-spar turned rigid, their movements faltering. The stench of panic, anxiety, and, more importantly, fear filled the space, seeping into the dirt like the scent of a fresh kill.Good.They knew better than to relax in my presence.And Zeke?He had the audacity to try and rule me today—to pull me aside, to question my authority.He would learn.I let my gaze drift past him, locking onto Sky. She was panting, her body slick with sweat and dirt, her fists clenched as she glared at me like she wanted to rip my throat out. A calculating smirk curled at my lips."You're looking weak, sister," I taunted, watching as her expression twisted in fury. She barely had time to snarl before Kade struck. A swift, brutal blow to her ribs sent her sprawling onto the dirt."Let's fix that." I laughed, slow and taunting.I let them fight, determined to break her bit

Sky's POVEvery step Zeke took sent a fresh wave of pain tearing through my body, but I didn't tell him to stop.I should have.I should have fought him, should have demanded he put me down and let me suffer through this on my own. But I didn't. Because as much as my body ached, as much as my pride had been shattered into pieces out on that training field, being in his arms soothed something inside me that I didn't want to admit needed soothing.His scent surrounded me—woodsmoke and cedar, fresh rain and something uniquely Zeke. I hated how much comfort it brought me.Pack members watched as we passed through the halls, their gazes trailing over me, over the bruises forming on my skin, the blood drying at the corner of my lips. They said nothing.No one moved to help.No one so much as asked if I was okay.This was what Neo had built—a pack too afraid to intervene, too conditioned to question their Alpha's cruelty."Everyone's looking." I uttered before I swallowed the lump in my thro

Zeke POVI sat beside the bathtub; my fists clenched so tightly that my knuckles had turned white. My jaw ached from grinding my teeth, but the rage boiling inside me was impossible to contain. The only thing keeping me from storming straight to Neo's office and ripping his throat out was her.Sky.Her body—once untouchable, once something I thought could never be broken—was wrecked.Bruises covered her pale skin, dark purple splotches spreading across her arms, ribs, and thighs. The sight of them made my stomach churn. She should never look like this. A few cuts still bled into the bathwater, staining the once-clear surface with streaks of red.I swallowed hard."I should have stopped him." The words left me in a whisper, barely audible, but they carried the weight of my failure."Killing him now would feel good, but it would leave her unprotected." A low, lethal growl rumbled from Payne."Then what? We'd be dead, and she'd be alone." That was the only reason I hadn't torn Neo apart.

Sky POVThe heat of the bath danced across my skin; it should have relaxed me, but it didn't. Instead, I held my breath. Zeke's fingers ghosted over my back, the warm sponge trailing along my skin with an unbearable slowness that sent shivers rippling through my body. His touch was maddening—firm yet careful, reverent but teasing, igniting something dangerous under my skin.I clenched my jaw, willing myself not to make a sound.Not to moan.Not to give him the satisfaction.Because if I did, if I let even the smallest sound slip past my lips, I knew he'd never let me forget it.The bathwater lapped gently around me, the soft sound mingling with my ragged breathing. I swallowed hard, my chest rising and falling in a slow, uneven rhythm as Zeke dragged the sponge over my shoulder, the heat of his palm pressing against my skin as he flicked my hair over one side, exposing my neck.I shuddered.His fingers lingered, his thumb brushing over the sensitive skin just below my ear, his breath

Zeke's POV"You're a fool," Payne growled. "You should have taken her when she begged for it.""This isn't the time." I clenched my jaw, forcing myself to focus anywhere but on the woman stretched out in the bath, steam curling around her damp skin like a fucking invitation."There will never be a time if you keep waiting." Payne snarled, pacing in my mind like a caged beast. "She's ours. She wants us. Take her.""And what then?" I muttered under my breath. "Neo will make her life hell.""Her life is already hell. And you denying her doesn't make it any better." I exhaled sharply, running a hand through my hair as Sky shifted, her movements drawing my attention like a goddamn magnet."Zeke." She purred, lifting her legs over the edge of the bath, her wince subtle but there. My gaze locked onto the dark bruises along her thighs, my breath catching for a second before my wolf's fury overtook me.A growl tore from my chest before I could stop it. Neo had done this. Neo had let this happe

Neo POVI sat behind my desk, my fingers steepled, my mind burning. The glass of whiskey in front of me sat untouched, the amber liquid swirling with each impatient tap of my fingers against the polished wood.Sky.Zeke.Their names alone left a bitter taste in my mouth, souring the air around me. I should have seen it coming. I should have known the moment I let that little bitch step foot back in my packhouse; she had started infecting it with her defiance.The way the pack looked at her tonight. The way they listened when she spoke. It was like she hadn't been gone for years. Like she belonged. Like they still saw her as Alpha blood. I clenched my jaw, my fingers curling into fists.That was my place.And Zeke?I had given him everything. Pulled him up from nothing. He was a fucking nobody before I made him my Beta. And yet—there he was. Hovering around Sky like a guard dog. His lips on her. His hands gripping her.My fingers twitched at the memory of Maverick's report, his descrip
