The Missing Beta Chapter 51
~Katarina~I walk downstairs, continually glancing back to see if Aston has followed me. I hate all this going on today. I would love nothing more than to stay locked in a room with my mate, but that will have to wait.I step off the last step and walk down the short hallway. As I pass the dining room, a gasp catches my ears. I turn to find my aunt and uncle sitting at the table. “Where the hell have you been? Everyone has been waiting for you.” I sigh and shake my head. I kind of wish that they had already gone to the packhouse. I’d rather deal with them later.“A lot has happened, but we are working it out.”“We? Who’s ‘we’ Rina?” I put my eyes on my aunt and take a deep breath, slowly letting it out.“Me and Aston, auntie.” I step forward with my hands clenched in front of me. “I need a favor from you both.” They look at each other before looking back at me and nodding. “I need you two to go to the packhouse and just be there. Help get things settled for the ceremony. I have some t

~Tatiana~I don’t know what came over me. I don’t want to say it was the mate bond, but it felt like more than that. All I know is that the moment those words left her mouth, I lunged at Katarina. I was able to catch her off guard and knock her to the ground.I anchor myself upright, straddling my best friend. Fear, pain, and anger take over, and I’m striking Katarina. I’m alternating between my left and right hands and hitting her anywhere I can reach. Katarina pulls her arms up in an attempt to shield her face from my blows. “What the fuck are you doing, Tatiana?!” Dominic’s voice is filled with distress, but I can’t be bothered with that now. I continue my assault, and I notice movement in the corner of my eye. I know Dominic will pull me off her, but I can’t let that happen. The moment I’m removed, Katarina will have the upper hand.I guess there are a lot of things that I don’t know. There are things about life, love, and loyalty that I have no knowledge of. I didn’t know how to

~Katarina~I move my body, and I’m sore all over. I let my eyes flutter open, and I recognize the walls instantly. I’m in King’s room in the packhouse. I remember being in his office, not his room. How the hell did I get here? We need to get up. We are in danger.I groan and move my body. I look down and realize that I’ve been changed. I’m wearing the dress that was made for me for the ceremony. I turn my head to the side, willing my body to work with me. Hope, what the fuck happened?King happened. That son of a bitch injected us with wolfsbane. So, why am I still connected to you? A wolf with wolfsbane in their system is a lost wolf. They lose access to their wolf side and the ability to mindlink. Their mate can’t access their location or feelings if they are marked.Wolfsbane doesn’t impact us like it does other wolves. It only makes an impact for a small amount of time. Hope! Someone changed us. That means they saw our mark! I see Hope shake her head as my anxiety spikes.It’s o

~Aston~Wake up! I swallow, and a small moan escapes my lips. I know you can hear me… get up! I swear this rest is good, and I’m not ready to be awake. I wish Dario would go back to sleep. WAKE THE FUCK UP!! I shoot up into a sitting position. I look around and see the sterile white walls of the pack’s clinic. My parents are sitting on a couch in the corner, and Katarina sits at the side of the bed. The door opens, and the witch walks in. Shit! I’m up now. What was so fucking urgent?Think, asshole! Think about what just happened to us. I close my eyes, blocking everyone out. I replay the events of the day in an attempt to figure out what Dario’s panties are in a bunch. Suddenly, it hits me, and my eyes fly open.“What is it, Aston? What’s wrong?” I let my eyes land on the witch before speaking.“Where’s that witch? The one who was on stage with the Alpha family?” She turns her head slightly, taking me in.“Chandra?”“Is that her name?” I think back to when she came to check on me al

~Blake~*Flashback*I shift into my human form, looking out into the forest in front of me. Everything is quiet, just the way I like it. I like to come out here to get away from the pressures of the position, and I come out here to think. I can figure anything out without anyone interfering or interrupting.I found my mate a few weeks ago, and I have to say that she’s gorgeous. She’s gorgeous, but she just isn’t her. Trina is 5’10 with dark brown skin. She has full, long lashes, though they may not be natural. Her hair is long, past her shoulders, and she has an athlete's body. Everything about her screams elegance and strength: basically Luna. She’s my Luna, given to me by the Moon Goddess, but she just isn’t her.I sit in the tall grass and let my head hang back, closing my eyes against the bright sun. Sasha Harris is the most beautiful she-wolf I’ve ever seen in my life. She’s 5’8 with a rich brown skin tone. She trains with the warriors, and it shows in her body shape. She has a n

*Flashback cont…*It’s been months, and I’ve been around Sasha as much as possible. I would have made a move already, but her being pregnant held me off. One would think that it was the toddler of my own that kept me from approaching Sasha, but that’s not true. My fated mate gave me my heir, and I wanted Sasha as well.So, it wasn’t my own child that put me off, but the fact that she was pregnant. It’s one thing to move in after her mate’s demise, but it’s another to do so when there’s a bun in the oven. I hated to wait, but I had to play this smart.Her baby girl came into this world quickly and loudly. I went to visit a few times, and I could tell that the baby was bringing joy back into her life. I figure I should just take a chance. She’s seen how hard it is raising a child alone. She stays with her brother and his mate, but I know it isn’t the same.I knock on her door and clear my throat. The anticipation is rough to deal with, but I’m sure it’s going to be worth it in the long

Trina was a rock during that time, taking over and getting rid of the body. She also put the story out there that Sasha was killed during a rogue attack. She made it so convincing that no one thought to question it. We also decided that we would set it up for Katarina to mate with King. If I couldn’t have the power I sought, at least we could make sure King was set up for success.I had worked with Chandra before, never directly, though. I knew she was a witch who didn’t have many lines in the sand that she refused to cross. The minute King came home and told me what Aston had confided, I knew I had to act, and Chandra needed to act faster.The original plan was to kill Aston to prevent her from reappearing. I should have followed this plan, and Trina begged me to do so. Chandra talked a good game, and I really didn’t care what happened to Aston. I just wanted him out of the way.I bet you’re wondering if it was hard to lie to my best friend about his son. I went out with Eddie every

~Katarina~We haven’t been in Alpha Blake’s office long, but Aston has already created a storm of papers and other materials. He’s pulled out drawers and books off shelves, searching for anything that could give us any important information.I stand in the middle of the office, taking the room in. It’s a basic office, I’d say. He has a large desk in the room, bookshelves with books, a couch in a corner, and anything else you would expect to find in an office. I slowly turn in the room, trying to see if anything catches my eye. I stop while facing his desk. There’s a picture hanging off the side, but it’s out of place.As long as I’ve known Alpha Blake, from when I started to date King, I’ve realized a few things about him. One of those things is that he isn’t much of a decorator. He keeps things pretty simple, and the most he will do are family photos. The picture hanging on the wall is an abstract. It’s beautiful, but it isn’t the Alpha and doesn’t belong. I’m sure people think 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
The Missing Beta Chapter 84
~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
