Semua Bab The Beta's Unexpected Mate : Bab 71 - Bab 80

Simon's POV...I sighed heavily again, feeling frustrated that I kept doing that with each passing second. It's almost noon, and I still haven't heard from Luscious. As the assistant Beta, he has some major errands to run outside the pack. And I need to relay the message to him and get to focus on my other duties. Kissing my teeth in frustration, I stared at the logbook in hand, flipping through the pages gently. A light knock came from behind the door; thinking it might be Luscious, I put up a frown.The door creaked open, letting in Kara with a tray in hand. My guard dropped, and I started grinning like a fool. She bowed her head shyly."Good day, Beta Simon. The Luna asked that I bring some baked scones to you." She said, placing the tray on the table. She opened the cover for me to see the content, and despite the amazing mouthwatering aroma that filled the room, my eyes stayed glued to her. "Alright, I will take my leave now."That jolted me out of the cha

Simon's POV...The office door opened abruptly, and an angry-looking Luscious walked in. "What's all of this about, Beta Simon?" He queried.I glanced up at him in confusion, "what do you mean?""I thought we were over these mean days of you punishing Kara for my sake. This is the highest show of pettiness. Did you need to throw your weight carelessly like that?"I slammed both palms on the table angrily. "Now listen, Luscious, if you won't talk to me calmly and accord me the respect I deserve, then get out of here!"He didn't move an inch and looked determined to take me down. "Why did you send Kara back to the field?"Squinting my eyes, I tilted my head. "What are you talking about?""You, tell me. I know you have a personal vendetta against our relationship, and Kara is the only one you take it out on. I already pleaded with the Alpha not to make her work on the field as a slave, and now she is back there. Something that would never happen if

Kara's POV..."Have you heard?" Diana came at me excitedly. She does this whenever there is some juicy gossip to share. Her attitude always amuses me.Exhaling, I stretched my tired body out on the bed, hoping Simon would do me the honors of visiting tonight and make me feel better. "What is it this time?"She clapped loudly, obviously thrilled by whatever she had to share. "Lady Selena is pregnant."It took me about three seconds for her words to sink in. I sat up hurriedly, "who?""Beta's Simon's lover, Lady Selena, is pregnant."I gasped in shock, gripping the bed sheet tightly. "How is that possible?"She scoffed, "What do you mean by that? Doesn't she have a lover? Everyone knows Beta Simon is the father. I won't be surprised if they get married soon."A loud noise howled in my ears, making me itch badly. There is no way Selena would be pregnant, not after the promises Simon made to me. I feel like a fool right now. What was I thinking?

Simon's POV... Halfway into the woods, she struggled against my hold and eventually freed herself. Kara's beautiful eyes glared hard at me under the bright moonlight. Even though she tried to appear brave, fear was written all over her. And it had her wolf subdued."Who are you? Who sent you to kill me?" She questioned with a shaky voice while dragging herself to the back in a bid to escape."Calm down, it's me," I said, pulling off the cloth I used to disguise myself.Kara halted her movement, glaring at me in displeasure. "You? What the hell do you think you are doing?"That's the same question I have been asking myself as I made my way to her, all dressed up and running with her like some refugee. I heard gossip from the maids that she was locked in the usual detention cells underground for rude or disobedient maids. Guards aren't put there to watch over the place to help the erring person reflect on their actions. They can be left there for three to five days, depending on whatev

Kara's POV...Every breath I release seems to hurt my chest, even though I know I haven't spent beyond a whole day or two in here. It still feels like I have been here for ages. I wonder why I haven't heard from Luscious just yet. He should have returned by now and saved me from this hellhole. Resting my head against the wall, I scanned the enclosed space. I can't tell exactly how I feel; my body feels out of place. And for a brief second, I am delusional to think I am probably not alive.Tears rolled down my face at their own interest. My life doesn't feel worthy enough to live. Maybe I should have ended it a long time ago. When I look at it deeply, I am practically living among people who won't hesitate to hang my head on a tree if given the go-ahead. And another bitter truth is that I have nowhere to go. It's rare these days for the packs around here to take in a nonmember who is just willing to settle without being married to one of theirs.I wrapped my arms aro
