All Chapters of The Alpha's Beta: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Drowning was better than living. “Mom, I'm so excited for tomorrow!" A twinkle in the twelve years old's eyes makes the woman chuckle at her cuteness. "What do you think I'm gonna be presented as?” The wrinkled blanket rustled as her mother pulled it to tuck her in. “Don't worry about it, sweetie. I know you're going to make me proud. Just like your brothers and sisters.” A gentle kiss landed on her daughter's forehead. The excitement was visible through her small face, with a smile so wide one would melt in its presents. “I hope I get to be an alpha like Eva." Her eyes then widened, "Oh! Or even omega like Emile and Elena!” Her small finger taps her chin, probably wondering which she favors more. “That's right, honey…” A gentle thumb tracing her soft cheek, “...as long as you're not a beta, everything will be well. Alright?” She nodded cheerfully. “Good night, mom.” She smiles at her mother, fluttering her eyes close to her dreamland. Along with a faint whisper. “That's

Emma Grey   “Look who we have here.” I could hear it loud and clear.    His sicken smile.   My heart thumping furiously as if it was drummed repeatedly, pushing it out of my chest. It causes my hand to tremble. And as quick, I held onto it tightly to stop myself from giving in to any agitation I was feeling.    What is it that he wants from me now?    Before I could face the intruder, my eyes locked on Lina. I raised both of my eyebrows as I signaled her to stay where she was silently. I wouldn't want her to be entangled in the event that was about to happen later.    I know she was concerned, having

Emma Grey   A swift of a woody, musky lavender lingered in my senses as we ran passed through the man. It unconsciously calmed my muscles as we moved farther from the scene.    What just happened?   Before I could register it, my legs had unknowingly led me to my section along with Lina. Most of them had shot us sympathetic glances which I couldn't bring myself to care about.    Not when I was struggling for the limited air that I had to force down my lungs. It undoubtedly caused by all the commotion I had involuntarily involved in and all the running I have earlier.    I reached my hand out for Lina’s arm as I felt my legs noodle away to hold myself. Her

Emma Grey   Lina was ready to argue when the leaves in the bushes a couple of feet from us rustled violently, hinting that we were no longer alone. The sound halted me on my track, freezing whatever there was in my body.   There was no way this was happening.   The silence was deafening. The forest was chilling as the only sound I could register was the drumming in my chest as a pair of red eyes met mine.    Lina had her face hidden in my arm as my feet froze, forcing myself to lock my eyes with the unknown in the darkness of the night.    As my eyes adjusted to the poorly-lit surroundings, I could make out the wolf form from the bushes. My mind immediately tr

Emma Grey It had been a week since I last met him. The events from last time had since played like a broken record in my head and it was the only thing that could help me feel safe at this moment.  ‘I am Nathan.
