All Chapters of Her Beta Mate: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The mutt-wolf-thing stared at me slobbering, water draining from his mouth like a water fall. Ewww! Why the hell was his mouth watering like that! Halie, focus! I reminded myself. It stared, his eyes still connected with mine tracking my every move. With every breath I took, I inched away, I couldn't be eaten tonight. I'd just gotten to Cascade Falls two day now, I wasn't that weak to not survive a dumb story. Pft, how the hell did I know that whatever it was, was actually real? Could be a disgusting guy in costume. Just saying, this world was filled with creeps with weird habits. My hand reached back, crunching a leaf behind me, causing the slobbering beast to charge forward, so close I thought there was no way he'd be able to brake in time before not slamming into me. Within those few minutes I saw my own death announcement headline. Girl found dead, squashed against a tree, perpetrator still at large. My eyes tightened close, bracing for the impending impact as I heard skidding

Like a kid caught with her hand in the cookie jar, I thought of doing the one thing we all do. Deny everything. Only my bestfriend was much smarter than I gave her credit for and well, she'd never drop the subject after this. So in lieu of denying everything, I did the next best thing. I took her along. I mean, if I'm embarking on a probably one way trip to the grim reapers personal backyard, why not have company. No one wants to die alone. "Why are we going through the forest again?" Asked Moi for what was the millionth time since we left the house. Leaves crunched beneath my feet, at every step, though I wondered where they came from since most of the trees this low barely had leaves. Each an even more horrid version of a scarecrow. Going further the forest took on another form. Everything that wasn't tall and luscious was broad and bulky. As if the bare trees lining the outskirts were there to dissuade people from ever entering. "I can't believe I'm actually out here right now

The pack, well most of them women, pups and men had gathered outside the door of the infirmary taking in the sights of a human girl, unconscious, just like the previous. The crowd split in equal parts upon my approach, no one daring, except Allison ofcourse who was used to my menacing aura, followed. Her steps were quick, filled with the anticipation of her fellow members outside. It wasn't as if we've never seen humans before, well, most of us that is. Once you were part of patrol or a leader, that was an incidence that couldn't be avoided. Though for the last hundred years or so, the only humans we've come across ever so often were the Hunter clan. Humans who had migrated to Cascade falls and thought themselves to be the owners of this land. They invaded our home, demolished bonds we had and even more, went ahead to destroy our environment. Now Silver moon, my pack is the only pack that still resides in the forest closer to where humans live. We act as sentinels, alarms for other su

The moment I heard my name, all else faded into the background. Well Rider faded into the background. I bolted from my position, tugging the door open, running over to my bestfriend. I fell atop her person, squeezing her body beneath my weight. Oh my god she's alive! "Moi!" I screamed into her ear. "You're awake. I'm so happy!" "How are you doing? Are you okay, hurting? You're alive!" I kept ranting into the ridiculously small space between our bodies, much too relieved to know she was conscious; yet too excited to just shut the hell up! My word vomit only paused hearing a muffled voice beneath my body as I squashed my bestfriend. The moment I let up, Moi took a deep breath blinking at me. "You're alive!" I murmured again almost teary eyed. "Barely, " She grumbled back. "You're crushing me here. " But I refused to let up hugging her close. In the future I'll remember to tell her never to mention this scenario to anyone. There's no way I'm letting people know about how weak I am r

Qinn's heavy breathing lapped at my hind legs as we pushed forward, the forest quiet, only interrupted by the flash of lightening every now and again. Tonight was going to be completely horrible, I could feel it. The way my body tingled, and my fur stood on ends. For a moment the thought crosses of whether my mate was okay, it's annoying to think that she'd use the opportunity to try and escape in the midst of all this choas. A part of me wished I had stayed and watched over her. Then I berated myself for ever thinking like that. I was Beta. Our Alpha wasn't home. It was my duty to protect our pack at all cost. Mate or no mate. I could see our wolves holding the perimeter line leading to the first tier of the pack. I howled alerting them of our arrival but leaped over the fencing without stopping. 'Where are they?' 'A hundred yards out Beta, ''Quinn?''I got it.'The rain started amplifying to the ominous atmosphere around us, the smell of dried blood and dirt mixing in the air. W
