~Topaz~All eyes turn to me as I walk through the door. Tensions are pretty high, but I guess that’s to be expected. I look past everyone to the man in the bed. It looks like someone did a number on him, and I feel bad about it. “I have a few witches coming here to put a protection spell over the pack. Hopefully, that will keep Chandra out.” I walk closer to the bed and feel the residual magic in the air. “This man was attacked with magic. I can do a quick spell to help him recover.”No one says anything, so I step forward and hold my hands over his body. I say a short chant and then pull my hands back. He won’t be better immediately, but he will have a better chance at survival.I turn to the woman staring at me as if she wants to ask a million and one questions. I walk over to her and close my eyes, trying to get a feel of her. It doesn’t take long, and I open my eyes to look at Aston. “She isn’t an impostor, in case you were wondering.” He nods, and I take a step back. “About the o

~Tatiana~I have no idea how long I’ve been pacing out here, but I’m getting tired of it. I’m outside of the clinic, waiting for Katarina to appear. I was told this is where she’s been for a while now, and I figured this was the best place to run into her.I honestly have no idea how to go about this. I made a spectacle out of confronting her. I’ve even done it in front of others. I don’t know how I’m meant to go back on that and try to be friends again. All I know is that this is what King wants, and he’s my fated mate. I can’t deny him.I’ve wondered how I ended up here, and I don’t really have an answer to that. Katarina has been my best friend all my life, but at some point, I grew to resent her. I’m not entirely sure when it happened; I just couldn’t keep sitting back and watching her get all the attention.Finding out King was my mate ended up being everything I wanted, and then he went after her. I want King to myself; I mean, he is my fated mate. If I do this, if I get close t

~Katarina~That… that… BITCH! That stupid ass bitch! I never thought I’d feel this way about my best friend- well, my former best friend. I never thought I’d refer to her like this, but here we are. She’s a first-class, grade-A bitch, and I never knew that before. I guess when you are friends with someone, you ignore the red flags. She’s trying to play us. I know that, Hope. Even if we hadn’t had that premonition, I would still know that. She makes her disdain for us too obvious. Hope retreats in my mind as I make my way to my home. I need a good shower and a change of clothes. I need to wrap my head around everything that’s going on, and I need to figure out my next step.Thankfully, my aunt and uncle aren’t home when I get there. I really didn’t want to run into them because I don’t know what to tell them. I jump in the shower, letting the hot water fall over me.Out of nowhere, warm hands start to touch my body as the sparks cause my core to heat up. “How are you here?” Aston’s ha

~Aston~My worry for Katarina was driving me crazy. I felt through the bond that something was going on, and I had to see about her. I will admit that she tried to block me out, but I was able to push through with no issues. Maybe that’s a gold wolf thing, but then again, maybe it’s not.I transported into her room, and I heard the shower running. I figured I would take the opportunity to have a close moment with my mate and then have her tell me what the issue was. I had no idea that my amazing plan would be so hard to execute.“KATARINA?! FUCK! KATARINA, WAKE UP!” Just as I climaxed, Katarina fell limp in my arms. I tried to wake her, but nothing I did worked. I turned off the water and wrapped a towel around her. I lay her gently on the bed, but she’s still out. I have to say that I’m freaking the fuck out right now. This woman is my entire world, and I can’t lose her.Hope isn’t responding!No shit, Sherlock! If her human is out, why wouldn’t she be too?! Dario growls in my head w

~Topaz~I make my way out into the woods and see my sisters hard at work. I walk up to Ulva, who’s taken a step back from the rest of them. “How’s it going?”“It’s going. There are a lot of lands to cover, and we want to make sure that it holds.” A jolt goes through my body, and I drop to my knees. My head is thrown back as a searing pain runs through my chest. I’m not sure how long it lasts, but it feels like it’s forever.When the pain lets up, I fall forward on my hands. My breathing is coming out in heavy pants, and I feel winded. I feel hands on my back; as soothing as they are, I don’t want them right now. I throw myself into an upright position and look up to the sky. Ulva looks at me, and I nod. “It should only take another hour.” I struggle to my feet and lean against a nearby tree to catch my breath.After a while, I stand up and straighten out my clothes. “Make sure you come find me when you’re done.” I turn and walk back to the packhouse.~Chandra~It didn’t take long for

~Chandra~I shift through more papers, trying to figure out all of this. Maybe I should get one of the sisters to take care of the business side of the coven. To be honest, it doesn’t interest me in the slightest. I just want the resources so I can continue with my work.A knock on my door pulls me out of my frustration. “Enter!” The door opens, and Yanna walks in with a clipboard in her hand. “What is it?” She takes a few steps forward, acting like a timid mouse. I hate it when she acts like this. I wish she had more of a backbone, but then again, I wouldn’t be able to run her like I do if she had.“I got some names of the sisters like you asked me to.” I motion Yanna forward and then motion at the desk.“Put it there. I will look over it later.” Yanna does as I request and walks toward the door. Her gasp causes me to look up and see Yanna at the open door. Her hands are at her mouth, and her body is shaking like a leaf.I rise from my chair, but my view of the doorway is blocked. I

~Katarina~So maybe you know something that I don’t. We’ve been up, showered, and dressed. We’ve had breakfast, and now it’s lunchtime. I haven’t heard from Aston or seen him. Have you been in contact with Dario?No, no, Dario. I have no idea what’s going on. To say that I’m lost is an understatement. Our link to Aston and Dario is blocked and has been blocked the entire day. Where the fuck is my mate, and what the hell is he doing?I walk upstairs for the millionth time and peek in the Alpha office. When I find it empty, I peek into the Beta office but find it in the same state. I stand in the hallway with my hands on my hips and sigh. Where is this man, and why is he hiding from me? “Hey, girl.” Fuck! I really don’t have the headspace for this right now.I don’t bother to turn around, afraid of my reaction if I look at her face. “What do you want, Tatiana?”“When did we become so formal?”“When I realized-”You don’t have to be nice, but we are supposed to be making her feel comfort

~Aston~GO BACK!Dario, ENOUGH! I told you that I need to figure things out. We need Dad back, and I can’t risk losing anyone, including him. We’ve been off the grid for hours now. I blocked Katarina completely, not wanting her to be involved in this.I know she’s my mate, and we are a team, but there’s too much at stake right now. I’m almost certain that taking Dad was part of a plan, a trap set for me. I’m pretty sure that once I go get him, I will be killed some way. I can’t let Mom or Katarina know this because they will fight with me not to go. I won’t sacrifice my father like that, though.My phone rings, and I internally sigh. I had my calls forwarded to my cell because I wasn’t sure how long I would stay gone. I close my eyes and connect the call. “So, about this meeting…” I swallow the anger building inside me and the reply I really want to give him.“What about it?” Blake chuckles on the line, and my grip on the phone tightens.“I don’t want to drag it out. The longer I’m he

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
The Missing Beta Chapter 88
~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
The Missing Beta Chapter 83
~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
