All Chapters of The Beta's Unexpected Mate : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Simon's POV... My grumpy self is beginning to make me feel uncomfortable, too, and Kai isn't making it easy as he keeps throwing a fuss. The run in the woods did me good, and I think I am ready to go through the day with a sane mind. I haven't resolved my difference with Selena; she seems to be avoiding me. The distance has me a bit sane at the moment. I haven't seen Luscious around, but his news has rounded the pack of how he spends his quality time philandering with Kara.I have tried ignoring the intense irritation that comes to me whenever I hear about them. The cause of my anger still hasn't been located. I still don't think it's right that they are together. Kara is too old for Luscious. I won't be surprised if she uses and dumps him in the process. She is no doubt seeking a way out of slavery. I know what goes on in Kara's mind; she is up to something. And Luscious is too blinded to see it.Opening the door to my office, I yawned, feeling hungry. I haven't had a meal today. I'

Kara's POV... I don't know if going straight to Logan is a good idea. But then he assured me I could come to him when I needed help. I turned and tossed all night long, feeling burdened. Simon's words haunted me all through the night. If he makes do to his promise to cause a rift between Luscious and me, that would pose a lot of trouble. I don't want to regret not taking action when I could. I can't tell which hurts me the most. Simon's spiteful comments or the possibility of me losing Luscious.Inhaling deeply, I knocked on the study door. A faint response came from within. I opened the door gently and went in. He had his head buried in work. The more I stare at him, the more I realize the affection I thought I had for him was no more. Probably, it was all just lust at play.He glanced up at me, "Kara, how are you doing?"I felt more relaxed at his expression. "I am fine, thank you. Do you have a minute, please? I would like to talk to you."Logan furrowed his brows, "is everything

Author's POV...Selena exhaled tiredly as she stared out blankly at the large expanse of land. The slaves seem to be working extra hard, which definitely has something to do with her standing there. Her mind was elsewhere. If the heart is bared out like the physical body is, everyone would see how shattered she is. It has never happened that she wouldn't be in touch with Simon for days rolling into weeks. They are always glued together despite their busy schedules.She misses him so much, but Selena can't bring herself to beg him after his attitude towards her the last time they spoke. She has constantly been trying hard to not blame Kara's presence as the reason behind their fallout. But it's inevitable. Ever since Kara stepped foot back in the packhouse, it felt like everything Simon concerns himself about is her. Selena knows it's just his hatred towards Kara that appears a bit overboard. There is nothing more to it, or so she thinks.Feeling frustrated, she turn

Simon's POV... "I planned something nice for the both of us tonight," Selena whispered in my ears as I buttoned up my shirt.I hummed, "really. What would that be?"Her smile beautifully tugged at her lips. "Well, it's a surprise, and I just want you to be aware of it so you can get prepared."I pulled her closer to me, nuzzling her nape. "Can I get a hint of what it might be?""It's no longer a surprise if I give you a major hint." She giggled, caressing my back.I pouted playfully, "You are such a killjoy. Would it kill you to tell me?""It would."I tickled her sides, and she laughed loudly, throwing her head to the back. I like the glow on her face lately. Since it's my doing, I feel fulfilled knowing I did the right thing by forgetting about Kara and her love life. Kai has also stopped meddling with my thoughts."Stop it, Simon. Please.""Fine. I will see you tonight, then.""Alright, baby. See you later. I love you.""Love you too." I k

Simon's POV...I couldn't focus on whatever Selena seemed to be sharing with me. My eyes kept darting back to Kara and Luscious acting cozy with each other. I have been plagued with that view for weeks, and it's really getting to me. I have tried hard to concentrate on something else, but something keeps bringing it back to my mind, and I find myself getting extremely mad at Kara for being so shameless. Maybe I am the one with the actual problem."Baby," Selena called out, holding my jaw. "Why are you frowning? Are you uncomfortable with what I said?"I shook my head, clearing my throat, "Oh no, not that at all. I am sorry. What was it you were saying?"She giggled, slapping my thigh gently, "You are so silly. It's obvious you are tired. It's been a long day, anyway. We should go back to sleep now."I nodded hurriedly, "yes, that sounds like a really good idea."As we packed up the meal basket and spread cloth. Selena sighed, "Even though I am not muc
