~King~I step out of the packhouse and look across the road. Katarina has been out there for a while now. I guess she decided to be in the front rather than the back to be seen by fewer people. She’s been pretty quiet, but I’m not surprised.I walk up behind her without making a sound. Her head is turned upwards, and she’s staring off into space. I wonder what’s going on in her head right now. I reach out and gently touch her shoulder. Katarina jumps and stumbles back. “You scared me.” Katarina’s hand is on her chest, and her breathing is labored.“I didn’t mean to scare you. I saw you out here, and I was worried. You’ve been off since the other day. Your aunt and uncle reached out to me, and they’re worried about you too. What’s going on with you?” Katarina looks away again, a soft sound coming from her.“I met with him.” I knew this; I was told this. They ran into each other and spent some time together. I can’t bring myself to be mad, though. How could I? She was his way before she

~Shawna~I watch everyone wrap up their training, laughing and joking with each other. I’ve never been one to really watch training before, but I have been doing so for the past two weeks. I can’t help but worry about my son.Since the witches left, Aston has been remembering bits and pieces. Nothing about his two years gone has come up, but he’s been remembering things from his childhood. There’s still no sign of his wolf, but he still has many advantages of being a werewolf.Aston decided that he wanted to train, and it was almost like he had never stopped. He’s been training every day and multiple times a day. I’ve been the nervous mom, watching over my son as he gets back into the groove of things. I may worry about him, but I’m insanely proud of him. “How long are you going to watch him, love?” I turn slightly to set eyes on Eddison. He led this training, and he looks the part. He’s shirtless, wearing only a pair of basketball shorts. Sweat is dripping down his torso, filling the

~’A’~I stand in the office, not too far from the two men seated across the desk. It’s a weird feeling, to say the least. In another life, another version of myself was close to both of these men. I stand here now, not really knowing what to say or how to act.King stands and steps away from the chair he was sitting in. He looks at me and motions to the chair. I watch him walk to the desk's other side and sit. I exhale and take the chair offered to me. Yeah, this is less awkward.A throat clears, breaking my attention, which I had on the ground around my feet. “Yeah, I’m just going to talk. I mean, I highly doubt things could get any more awkward than they already are.” He turns to me and has a magnetic smile on his face. “It’s fucking good to see you right now. I’ve missed your ass. I won’t go into a whole thing about why I haven’t been by yet. I’ve been doing what everyone else has been doing, trying to give you time to accumulate.” He leans over and extends his hand. “Dominic Hargr

~’A’~I let my body fall to the grass and wrap the towel around my neck. This warrior training is no joke, but it feels good. I’ve been at it for about a week or two, and I think it was the best decision for me.Since I’ve been here, I have been worried about what my place would be. Obviously, I can’t have the same place I was born to have. It isn’t just because I’ve lost memories. Once I disappeared, the structure was rearranged, and it wouldn’t be fair to make changes to that.To be honest, I have no idea what being a Beta is all about, and I really just want to focus on remembering my life. I asked Eddison if he minded, but he said he’s just happy to have me back. I still don’t have the ties to Eddison and Shawna like I should, but I feel much more comfortable around them.“Good job, yet again, ‘A’. I look up and see Boris looking down at me. He’s one of the head trainers, and he’s tough. He went hard with me at first but eased up a bit after a while. I’m not sure if he was testing

~King~Boris sits across from me, along with Valor. There’s a small pile of folders on my desk, and we’ve been going through each one. I have to pick the security detail for Katarina. The sooner I get her group together, the sooner they can start to get comfortable with each other. “This is going to be hard to do. There are a lot of good candidates in here.”“Yeah. Valor and I made sure we targeted the best candidates, and their field test was very thorough.” I was going to pop into the field test this morning and look at those participating, but I decided not to at the last minute. I didn’t want to throw anyone off. I trust the word of these two men, so the checking up wasn’t needed.“Well, I’m going to go through these files and get back to you. Let’s meet after dinner. It shouldn’t take much longer than that.” They nod and leave me alone in the office. I’ve been working out of my dad’s office lately, trying to get a feel for it. I know I plan to change a few things, but it will hav

~’A’~I check the list and hate to admit it, but I’m a bit disappointed. Boris was convinced I was a shoo-in, but I guess he had the wrong information. It would have been fun to be an elite warrior, but I guess I can make it without it.A hand clasps on my back, shocking me a bit. “I’m so sorry that you didn’t make it. Just know that I had nothing but good things to say about you.”“It’s okay, Boris. I guess it was a shot in the dark. I don’t have a wolf, and I’m sure that was a factor.”“I’m not sure. King didn’t tell me what his criteria was. I hope that wasn’t the case because I, personally, think that could be an asset.” Boris and I continue to make small talk before he goes to run a training session. I find myself in the gym to lift some weights.“You good?” A towel dangles in front of my face. I look up, and Dominic is standing there, smiling at me. I take the towel and sit up, wiping my face.“Yeah, man. What’s up with you?” I move over on the bench, allowing Dominic to sit nex

~’A’~I was up early this morning wishing I was going to training, not waiting for these witches to come. I’m thankful they are trying to help me, but something about the entire thing feels off. I don’t want to disappoint anyone, so I keep my mouth shut. I want to get better for Eddison and Shawna.I’m in the Alpha office with Eddison and the Alpha. A whoosh sounds in the air, and a portal appears. Out steps one of the witches, but no one else. I try to look behind her to see the other two, but they aren’t there. This is the one witch that gives me the creeps, so I’m not that happy that it’s just her. “Hello, Alpha… Beta.”“Where’s everyone else?”“Ulva and Isidora are busy with something else. High Priestess Topaz sends her apologies. I can take care of everything on my own. It won’t take long.” I feel my heartbeat increase. Something about her rubs me the wrong way. I really don’t want to be alone with her, but what can I say? I’m sure it’s simply because all this supernatural stuff

I look around the room, feeling suffocated with all the eyes on me. I start shrinking into myself, not knowing if I had said something wrong or not. I focus my eyes on Mom and see her holding back her tears. “A?”“Aston, mom. Aston will do.” A sob breaks free as she reaches for me. I let her wrap her arms around me, and I’m transported back. I remember how it felt to be wrapped in her embrace, and I missed it. I missed her. “I missed you so much, Mom.” Her response is muffled since her face is buried in my neck. I look at Dad to see his facial expression, which mirrors Mom's. Uncle Blake has a smile on his face.“Does this mean that you have your memories back?’ I close my eyes and sift through my mind. I have so many memories, and they are warming my heart. I open my eyes.“No, I don't have all of my memories. I don't remember my shift or anything after. Didn't I disappear after my shift?” They nodded, and sadness takes hold in their eyes. My mom lifts her head and looks at me.“You

The Missing Beta Epilogue
“BlackPaw Pack! I’m so glad to see you have survived and are supporting each other. You have done what a pack is meant to do. The traitors you had among you have been dealt with as have the poisonous Alpha family that was in charge for decades. You are free of the lies and need someone more honorable to be in charge. That being said, let me welcome your new ranked members to the stage so they can say their vows and take their rightful places.”“I, Aston Wiley, promise to protect and serve the BlackPaw Pack as Alpha. I promise to…”“I, Katarina Harris, promise to protect and serve the BlackPaw Pack as Luna. I promise to…”*Six Months Later*~Aston~It’s been six months since we’ve been sworn in as the ranked members of this pack in a ceremony that took place two weeks after the end of King. I took over as Alpha, with Katarina as my Luna. We made Dominic Beta, and Deacon agreed to be our Gamma. Before you get upset about Dominic, just hear me out.I’ve known Dominic all my life, and he w

~Aston~I blink, feeling like I’m losing my mind. That has to be the case because there’s no way this is real. I close my eyes and silently count to three before opening them again. Nothing has changed, and absolutely nothing is moving.I reach out to the wolf in front of me, but there’s no movement at all. I feel like I could tip the wolf over, and there’d be no stopping it from falling. I am miffed right now because this is something that should only exist in our wildest imagination. “ASTON!” I turn to find Katarina running toward me.Katarina’s hands are on my face, igniting sparks along my skin and shivers up and down my spine. “Did you do this?” I gesture to the frozen wolves around us.“Uh, yeah, I think so. I don’t know what it is or how.” I look around again while shaking my head. Damn! My girl has some nice ass powers. I think I’m a bit jealous, if I’m being honest. I thought my powers were cool, but now I see they were nothing.“How long do you think it lasts?” Katarina shak
The Missing Beta Chapter 87
~Katarina~Aston wastes no time running out of his room after being called out by King. I don’t want him to go, but I know this has to happen. I run after him, not wanting my mate to have to confront him on his own.King is standing outside, and Tatiana isn’t that far behind him. I have no idea who let that bitch out of the cells, but heads are going to roll. Aston rushes out in the field, stopping a few feet in front of King. I notice some wolves are coming out of the shadows, but it has me on edge. Some seem to be moving to the side where I’m standing close by Aston, and others are standing on the side that houses King and Tatiana. I don’t know why I didn’t think of this before, but we have a serious loyalty issue. It looks like some pack members are still loyal to King, and that’s probably how he’s made it into the pack the last two times. It may even be how Tatiana is free right now.Speaking of Tatiana, her eyes haven’t left me since I got out here. She looks like she’s ready to

~Aston~I know this will get me some crazy looks, but I was so turned on when I watched Katarina end Chandra. I know how sick that sounds, but I can’t help it, and I refuse to lie. She was poised and confident and I was definitely responding to that.There wasn’t much to do once Chandra was dead. Topaz let us know that they found her lab and were going to raid it. I figured there would be no answers for me there, and Topaz promised to let us know if she found anything useful.She brought us back to packlands, and we are walking hand in hand to the packhouse. I want a nice hot shower, to talk with my dad, and time with my mate. It feels like we’ve been on the go for a while now without stopping. I know it’s due to all of the emotional upheaval we’ve been dealing with, but it’s still a lot.We walk into the dining room to have all eyes on us as we step through the door. Katarina snuggles against me, and I guide her to our table. Mom and Dad are already there and snuggled up together as
The Missing Beta Chapter 85
~Topaz~I didn’t know what to do while I waited to talk to Eddie. I walked the perimeter of the pack, making sure our wards were in place. I tweaked everything, making sure to keep the pack accessible for the proper individuals.I look at the time as my nerves set in. I’m scared, I can’t lie. I don’t know how this talk is going to go, and that scares me. I know that if I don’t give it a try, I will regret it for the rest of my life.I’ve tried to rehearse the words in my mind, but I changed them a bit each time. I really don’t know what to say, and I don’t know what he’s going to say. I know what I’m attempting to do, and I know that most will view it as the worst thing I can do. I get that, really I do. I just can’t help my heart right now. I have to know for sure that it’s really over between us.A sound behind me shakes me out of my thoughts. There’s a giggle that is filled with nothing but love and happiness. Something is telling me not to look at the scene behind me, but I’m comp

~Eddie~I follow Shawna home, letting the events of the day swirl around in my head. So much has happened in a short amount of time. The entire situation is crazy to me, but it’s also heartbreaking. I had no idea my best friend was capable of such evilness and selfishness. If it hadn’t been for him, my family wouldn’t have gone through the pain that they suffered. I don’t know if I could ever make it up to them, but I’m sure as shit going to try.Sparks on my cheek break me from my thoughts, and I look at my surroundings. We are standing in the middle of our bedroom, and I didn’t even realize we had walked this far. Shawna is standing in front of me, looking worried. “I’m fine, love. I’m just a bit lost in thought.”“You’re fine?! You’re not fine, Eddie. You’ve gone through something traumatic at the hands of someone you trusted.” I suck in a breath, not wanting my emotions to overwhelm me. “I know you, and I know what your thinking. It wasn’t your fault. You had no idea that Blake wa

~Eddie~We all make our way into the packhouse and my office. So much has gone on since I stepped foot on packlands; it’s hard to wrap my head around everything. Besides needing to talk to the kids, I want to put my hands on my mate.Her scent hits me before I can see her face. A blur comes at me, and my body hits the floor. Sloppy kisses break out all over my face and neck, but pain also erupts in my stomach at the same time. “Goddess! I wasn’t sure I’d ever see you again!” I manage to roll my emotional mate on her side, and I secure her to my body. I take deep breaths, trying to ignore the pain I feel. “Eddie?! What is it? What’s wrong?” I close my eyes and focus on my breathing. There’s no need to worry anyone right now.“Dad? Is something wrong?” I open my eyes to Aston standing over us. There’s worry in his gaze, but I’m able to give him a stiff smile. He reaches his hand out, and I grab it, allowing him to help me up. Shawna is by my side, holding onto my arm. I walk over to the
The Missing Beta Chapter 82
~Katarina~I turn to see Tatiana glaring at me. I'm overwhelmed right now with everything: seeing that Aston is truly alive and okay, almost being snatched by King, and feeling the loss of my Alpha and Luna. With all of this, there's no fucking way that I'm going to deal with this bitch. I’m sorry, Hope, but I’m sick of this!I’m with you. This isn’t the same Titi we’ve been friends with all these years. Even if Hope hadn’t agreed, I’d be doing this anyway. It just feels better that we are on the same page.I balance on my feet and meet Tatiana head-on. Tatiana stops right in front of me, but I don’t move a muscle. “You always ruin everything! I fucking hate you!” All I can say is that the anger has accumulated, and it's come to a boiling point. My fist connects with her throat, causing her to bend over, sputtering and coughing.I crouch down in a fighting stance as I watch her try to suck in air. “Bring it bitch! It’s time to end this shit!” It doesn’t take long before Tatiana mirror
The Missing Beta Chapter 81
~King~The moment I saw my father kill Aston, I knew this was the time to get what was mine. I took off and shifted into Conan, letting him take over and take us back home. I don’t know what Dad’s plan is, but I plan to make moves before he can mess me up.It was beyond easy to get on to packlands. I already knew the routes and patrol groups. Some people are still loyal to my family and me, so letting me in wasn’t a huge issue.I have to say, Katarina made it easy for me. Conan caught her scent, though it pissed him off that it was mixed with that loser’s. We watched her pace back and forth for a while before I decided to go in.I shifted to my human form and put a pair of shorts on my body. I kept myself quiet and snuck up behind her. I grabbed her arm and turned her body toward me. The shock written all over her face didn’t deter me in the slightest. “King?!” I pull her body close to mine, making sure there’s no room between us. “Wh…what are you doing here?”“Seriously?” I look down
