The Missing Beta Chapter 32
~Katarina~The rage that flashes through King’s eyes is chilling at best. I’ve never seen him look at me like that, though I’d imagine he’s looked at others that way. I’m not going to lie and say that I’m not considering backing down just to keep the peace.Maybe we should stay home.I don’t know why, but I want to see him. I want to see Aston.I do, too, but is it worth angering King? He’s our future. Hope doesn’t answer, but I can feel her determination.“You’re not going to see Aston.” Interesting.“I don’t remember asking a question. I made a statement; I’m waiting on Aston so we can hang out.” Aston steps toward me and grabs my upper arm. He yanks me forward, causing me to stumble off the swing. I falter as I try to gain my balance.“I said, you’re not going to see Aston. I forbid it.” I look into King’s eyes and wonder who this man in front of me is. This isn’t the man that I knew before. This isn’t the man who proposed to me.“You forbid it?” I straighten my back to rise to my

~King~I push through the brush, determined to deal with this quickly so I can get back to Katarina. I don’t know where her boldness comes from, but I don’t like it. I need to get her to remember how things should be. The wedding is coming up quickly, and I need everything in place before that.I’m trying to figure out how to keep Aston away from my girl. Obviously, I can’t do anything in actuality since he just got back. Everyone would be aware if anything were to happen to him, so that wouldn’t work. It isn’t that I plan to do anything to him; I’m just going through all possibilities.It isn’t that I don’t trust Katarina because I do. She’s always been trustworthy, no matter how many men eye her throughout the day. It’s the fact that Aston and Katarina have history, and I don’t want that history to repeat itself. I know he was mated to her in the past, but I have to believe that connection is no more. He hasn’t claimed her, so I don’t think there’s anything to worry about. Still, on

~Tatiana~“You’re my mate, and you can’t deny me.” That sentence keeps echoing through my mind as I watch Dominic come closer. I don’t want this; I’ve never wanted this. I got caught up in this situation without meaning to.I don’t know what happened. One day, I was 17 years old and enjoying life. I was wondering what my mate would look like and what our life would be like. When I turned 18, I still hadn’t found my fated mate, or so I thought.One day, King came to the school campus with Dominic, and his scent hit me like a freight train. What was weird was that he didn’t spare me a glance. I thought maybe I was smelling things and had gotten it all wrong. It took a few days for King to acknowledge our bond.He came to my home one night, knocking on my window. I let him in; he said he didn’t want to disturb my folks. To this day, I don’t remember the reason he gave me for not acknowledging our bond immediately. I guess I was so caught up in my feelings that I didn’t press the matter.

~Aston~It’s been a few days, and I can’t get Katarina off my mind. The evening was perfect, and I was tempted to tell her about our bond so many times. I just couldn’t do it; I couldn’t rock her world that way.It’s crazy, right? Why wouldn’t I just tell her who we are to each other, right? I know it’s the question everyone has on the tip of their tongues. Hell, it’s the question I have for myself sometimes. The truth of the matter is that I have no idea who King really is.Yeah, sure. I’ve known him all my life. I was gone for four years, and a lot can happen in that time. What if I tell her, and it causes her issues? What if I tell her and she doesn’t believe me? What if I tell her and she doesn’t want me?As far as I can tell, she doesn’t feel anything on her side. There’s no mate bond, and there are no sparks. I can’t handle telling her and the entire situation falling flat on its face. Call me a coward; I’ll take that. I’d rather have her like this than not have her at all.Flas

~Chandra~“Uh, Sister? Sister Chandra? Ma’am?” I sigh and pinch the bridge of my nose. I swear I can’t just be alone when I need to be.Yeah, I came back. After the phone call I received, I couldn’t do anything other than return. When it comes down to it, I’m screwed, and there’s no two ways about it. I sigh and turn toward Yanna. “What is it?! Can’t you see that I’m busy right now, for fuck’s sake!”“Now, is that any way to talk to someone who’s always trying to help you?” As I complete my turn, my eyes fall on Topaz. She’s behind Yanna, who has her head down and is focused on her feet. Yanna and I will discuss this later. I don’t like being surprised or looked in on.“Yanna, you can go.” She looks between Topaz and me before scurrying away. I turn back to the belongings I was organizing to put away. “Is there something I can do for you, Topaz?”“That would be High Priestess Topaz as long as you’re within these walls.” Within these walls? I want to laugh out loud at those words. She

~Katarina~I feel….I feel sick. I feel…I’m confused. The air is thinning out, and I feel like I can’t breathe. I hurry out of the office, stopping right outside of the door. I look to the left and see Luna Trina with her people. They are facing me, but I can’t deal with them right now. I turn to my right and hurry away. I bound down the stairs, surprised I didn’t fall and crack my skull. I can’t see anything clearly, and I think I’m starting to hyperventilate.I stumble out the front door and fall on the grass. I take huge gulps of air in and shakily let them out. I can’t believe this; it can’t be right. This isn’t true, is it? Calm down, Katarina. We are okay.Are we? Are we really okay? You just claimed a mate, and it isn’t our fiancèe. What the fuck is going on? I know what I smelled. I know who our mate is, and I’m not wrong. It can’t be. Why didn’t we know it sooner?I don’t know, but it’s true. We have to see him. I guess Hope’s right. We won’t know; well, I won’t know for sur

~Katarina~I looked everywhere for Aston, I swear. I honestly didn’t know that our pack was so damn big. I would catch his scent here and there but never really caught him. While looking for Aston, I was trying to keep away from King and his family. I blocked my mindlink and kept my distance.Nothing brought me to the poolhouse; I just wanted a quiet place to be. No one really hangs out there, so I knew I’d be alone most of the time. I figured that maybe I could catch a glimpse of him coming in or out of the packhouse, but as the day darkened, I thought I was wrong.I was about to lock up the poolhouse and head home when I saw him poking around the pool. I wanted to run out and grab him, but I didn’t want anyone to see me. Aston and I have to discuss this alone, with no interruptions.I watched as he walked to the poolhouse and peered inside the window. I didn’t want him to see me. I wanted to talk to him, but I wanted to have a moment first. I stayed out of sight as he looked inside

~Third Person~The air becomes thick with arousal as the mates look at each other. The only sounds in the room are their heavy breathing and the thumping of their hearts. Neither of them ever expected to be in this position, so they are a bit hesitant to proceed. The passion and desire are there and evident, but they don’t really know how to begin.Aston gulps and pulls Katarina against his body. He lets her heat seep into his skin before he bends his head and places his mouth on her neck. He lets his tongue peek out and runs it in a circle over her skin. He uses his teeth to nibble on the soft skin, allowing his mouth to begin sucking motions. She will probably have hickeys when he’s done, but neither is worried about that right now.Katarina’s breasts are pressed against Aston’s body, her nipples becoming hard peaks. She moans at the sensation on her neck and grinds her pelvis against Aston’s body. Katarina has dreamt of this moment for so many years. It took her a while to let that

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
The Missing Beta Chapter 86
~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
