The Blessed Betaย ย ย 15: Thinking of You
*TORA* What the fuck is she talking about rejecting her? For what? Adrienne? Not in a million fucking years. I stand up quickly from the bed. I can feel the rage in me, but I donโt want to scare her. โI donโt understand, Estelle. Why would I reject you?โ She looks shocked at my question. Did she want me to? She looked like she was hurt when I was leaving her in her pack. I am so confused. โYou have a life here, and you barely know me. You have a rank, friends, and a girlfriend. And I canโt just come into your life and expect anything to change for you just because the Goddess decided to throw me on your doorstep. I appreciate you making sure I am okay. But you donโt have to choose me just because the Goddess told you to. I mean you DID leave me in my pack and then when I came to you are telling your girlfriend you canโt be with her because of your mate.โ Her words are like knives to my chest. So she wants me to reject her? I guess it does look bad and stupid. I thought I would h

*TORA*โIs she okay?โ Jericho asks from the doorway, trying to soothe the hospital. He needs a Luna, even when he is trying his hardest his aura is still so imitating. I look at my beautiful but timid mate. โShe could be better, but that definitely didnโt help. I donโt understand. This type of thing happens all the time, why would he attack me like that?โ I say to Jericho but my eyes never leave her. โGo get her fed, and you guys will need to meet me in the conference room to talk to Adrienne. I already have her waiting there. I will go talk to Cree and escort him there. This situation will hopefully be squashed today.โ He sighs, and when I look at him he is rubbing his eyes. โHe is very exhausted, you guys must really put him through the ringer.โ I hear her angelic voice fill the room. I just chuckle. โMs. Estelle, I appreciate you thinking of me. That is very kind.โ He says with a smile. โSomeone is going to have to, your Luna will be arriving here soon.โ I say without another t

*ESTELLE*He carried me. The whole way to the packhouse. How does someone have enough strength to tote me? And I told him I could walk there but he insistedโฆโDo you have a favorite food?โ He says, his deep voice tearing me away from the fact that I am still in his arms. Looking up to him, his perfect, yet exhausted eyes were fixated on me. โI donโt. I havenโt had my choice of foods.โ I need to quit talking.. I canโt keep telling him the things I havenโt had. If I keep talking I will definitely slip up about what happenedโฆ Before he can ask any other questions, he tightens his grip on my body, making me wince in pain and a moan of discomfort escapes my lips. I guess I am still in a lot of pain. When he looks down at me, a small tear forms in his eyes. โWhatโs the matter? Whatโs wrong?โ I say, as I wipe the tear as it falls. โI did not mean to hurt you. Please forgive me..โ He says in a whisper as he places his forehead against mine. Heโs cryingโฆ Because I winced?โI am okay. What

*TORA*I think what I just heard is wrong.. There is no way my best friend just told me that he and my now ex-girlfriend have been seeing each other the whole time behind my back. I mean around the same time that I started dating Adrianne. Why didnโt they just tell me? I wouldโve backed off. I wouldโve left her alone so they could be together. How could he ALLOW me to lay a fucking finger on her? I have had sex with her. I have been all over her in front of Cree. Just the fucking thought of someone even checking her out too long and I start to lose my fucking mind. Why would he lie to me? We are best friends. We donโt lie to each other. I have never lied to him. I have never kept anything from him. Can he not trust me? Did he think I would betray him and see her anyway? I mean Adrianne is beautiful and one of the coolest girls in the pack, but I would never toss my relationship with my best friend for her. I squeeze Estelleโs hand and stand on my feet. I start on my path to Cree,

**TORA** Instead of running in wolf form, I decide to run the fourwheelers down so Estelle can ride instead of being uncomfortable on Argos. Which he is hating right now. โBut I want to be closer to her too. You're hogging her.โ Cue another eye roll. โWill you quit acting like a pup? Youโre supposed to be the Beta of a pack and youโre whining.โ I tease before we round the corner to the crime scene that is taped off and the pack members have been ordered to stay away from the area. โQuit acting like a pup? Says the man who is clinged to her side and literally whined when she dropped your hand to hug Adrienne..โ Before I can fire back some smart ass comment, I can feel the air around me shift and my stomach drops to my feet. I pull up to the scene and where the body is laying is covered and Jericho and Cree are standing there speaking to each other with pale faces and a couple of tears. It is always heart wrenching when a pack member is killed, especially when you donโt know who i

***TORA*** A star? What fuckin star? So something was taken from whoever did this? But why her of all people in the pack? Every death here is a tragedy. But dammit. MY MOTHER. โWe will burn the insides of the person responsible. No matter who it is.โ Argos growls, making the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I holler for Cree and Jericho to come and read what Estelle just read to me. On top of everything, I feel this growing anxiety and when I look at Estelle she is completely pale with her head dropped. The sight and the exhaustion of dealing with my emotions must be too much for her. The only thing more dreadful than seeing her so heartbroken at the scene is the fact that I am going to have to leave her to investigate this and try to find a trail of whoever did this and how the fuck they keep getting into our pack unnoticed. As Cree and Jericho are discussing the next steps I hear my name being called. โTora?โ I snap my eyes to Jericho. I mumble a Hmm in hopes he doe

***JERICHOโS POV*** One of the strongest women I know is gone and now Tora and Cree are gone to follow the trail before it goes cold and they lose it. I am getting a million and one mind links so I have to send out a massive mind link telling everyone to hold their questions until we get some answers. Tora has been working on this case since it started and his dedication, even now, is showing through. I look over Estelleโs figure, trying to figure out why her presence makes me uneasy. And then I see it, not only is her skin as white as snow, but a single tear has fallen. I can see her mouthing something behind the curtain of her hair but I canโt make out what she is saying. Someone who has never seen a dead body mauled before would have screamed, thrown up, passed out or even just stared in shock unable to function. Ranking members like me and the guys have dealt with things like this before. So I know that this isnโt her first close encounter with this situation before. And becaus

The Blessed Betaย ย ย 23: The News
***TORA*** Running, and chasing, and sniffing and really just letting Argos lead the way and use his primal instincts to find any clue of how this has happened. Not only again, but to my mother of all people. There is an eerily quiet feeling in this forest. The howl of wind that is usually shaking the leaves between the trees is halted as if the earth knows that there was a treachery just committed. The vibration under Argosโ paws really zing through me. Like it is trying to speak to meโฆ Cedric howls in front of me, signaling that he has found a clue or a scent that we need to check out. My heart is pumping so fast, and the weight on my chest is so heavy that I canโt breathe. I had to walk away and leave Estelle alone. Alone in my pack, where she isnโt safe. But I must trust in Jericho. He will protect her. I stalk up to Cedric, the hair on Argosโ back standing straight up. Something is wrong. โIt was a diversion. Whatever we have been trailing is just leading us further into th
