The Missing Beta Chapter 37
~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

~Katarina~Aston has settled next to me, and we’re both breathing heavily. I really can’t believe this has happened. We are marked and mated. Aston is my fated mate, and I gave myself to him. I’ve wished for both for so long but never really believed it would happen.Sparks erupt on my hand as Aston grabs it and brings it to his lips. His mouth is slightly wet and warm. My body responds to this simple kiss, and I groan. I turn my body toward Aston, and he does the same. “Are you okay?” A smile grows on my face. I reach out with my free hand and run a finger down his face.“I’m amazing. Are you okay?”“Best night of my life.” We both laugh at that, but it’s a freeing laugh. It occurs to me that it may be time to tell Aston what he actually signed up for. I probably should have told him before this happened, but can anyone blame me for going for it instead? A sigh escapes my lips. “What’s wrong?”Where are you, Katarina?! Shit! For a minute, I forgot all about King.I’m busy. I’m sure y

~Eddie~Shawna is pacing back and forth in the living room, making me crazy. Aston crashed at the front door last night but still hasn’t woken up. He keeps whimpering, and his body jerks, but he doesn’t respond to anything or anyone. The pack doctor doesn’t know what’s going on, and it’s been almost 24 hours. “I think you should call her. What if this has something to do with his disappearance?Topaz. I swear I never thought she’d be involved in my life once I found my mate, but it looks like I was wrong. I guess I will be calling her again to get her help. I feel bad, though. I feel like I’m using her, and I don’t want to be that guy. I pull my phone out and dial her number. It doesn’t take long for the call to connect. “Getting a little impatient, aren’t we? I haven’t found anything out yet.” I sigh and shake my head.“It isn’t about that. It’s…well, I hate to call you, but…” There’s shuffling on the other line.“What is it, meum mea (mine)?” My sharp intake of breath was enough to

~King~Katarina and I walk out of the packhouse, a great distance between us. Honestly, I was sick and tired of being cooped up in that office. I know the damage was done; she wasn’t able to hang out with Aston all day. Actually, no one saw Aston at all today, but that’s not what’s important. “What did you want to talk about?” I’m jerked out of my thoughts by her sweet voice. I clear my throat and look at the sky.“We need to get some things clear before the ceremony.”“I don’t know what things we would need to get clear.”“First of all, your attitude has been horrible lately. I don’t know what’s gotten into you, but I expect more respect from you.” She scoffs, and I try to keep Conan at bay. He hates disrespect, and he doesn’t care who it comes from. “There are going to be expectations from you as my Luna and my wife. You will need to maintain the right image, and that includes who you choose to spend time with.”“Excuse me?!” I grab Katarina’s arm and pull her toward me.“Let me poi

~Katarina~Here I am, having finally found a minute to get away, and everything is a mess. I don’t know who this woman is or what she’s talking about. She took my necklace and said something about strong magic. Aston is knocked out, and everyone seems to be in a panic.Hands on my upper arms shock me out of my daze. I pulled to the kitchen and sit in a chair. Shawna and Eddie sit next to me at the table, but the woman doesn’t join us. She has the necklace in her hands and is examining it off to the side. “Talk to us dear. What’s going on?”I take a shaky breath in and let it out slowly. This is hard, but it has to be done. I probably should have had my aunt and uncle here with me. “What did you know about my mom?” Shawna and Eddie look at each other before looking back at me.“Her death was sudden. I didn’t know a lot about her. She kept to herself, even when growing up.”“I tried to reach out to her and bring her into my circle, but she preferred to be alone. I let her be but made su

~Aston~Fire erupts in front of me, and I dodge to be clear of it. I continue walking, though I don’t know where I am or where I’m going. I’ve been stuck here for who knows how long, and I’m sick of it. I want out, but I have no idea how to make that happen.How do I go from having the most amazing night of my life to this nothingness? Where even am I, and where the hell is Dario? I don’t know what’s worse. This right now or being lost all those years. I’m starting to wonder what I did to piss the Moon Goddess off because I’m clearly being punished.A bang sounds behind me, and I turn to see a flash of light. I’d imagine it’s more fire. What’s crazy is that every explosion brings a burst of pain that shoots through me. I don’t know what one has to do with the other, but I’m really going through it.I bet my mom is losing her shit. I mean, I just got back after being lost for years, and here I am stuck again. Dad is probably trying to find a way to calm Mom down. I wonder if Katarina e

~King~I continue to pace back and forth, waiting for her to appear. It took forever to track her down this morning, and this is the result. My pissed-off self is the honest result. I'd mark her right now if we weren’t going through this ceremony tomorrow. Maybe I should mark her anyway. There’s nothing that says that I have to wait until the ceremony. That’s just what Katarina demanded, and I’m not inclined to do anything she wants right now.Just as I make a solid decision in my mind, the office door opens, and her scent hits me. I stop moving and put eyes on her. The ring is on her finger, and the necklace is around her neck. I guess that’s a good sign. She closes the door, though not completely. I’ll be sure to remedy that as soon as I can. We will need privacy for what I have planned.I watch Katarina take a step toward me and stop. She stands in front of the door and just looks at me as if she’s waiting for something. “Well? You wanted me here, so here I am.” That fucking attitu
