All Chapters of Her Beta's Heart: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

She heard it from a distance. Like the shattering of glass, and then the twisting of metal. And then the dark cloud over her lifted before a bright light came over her. “Alisa?” She heard a voice. “Mum, Dad? Are you here?” She answered despite all the confusion. She felt a finger graze her cheek, then move slowly to her eyes, wiping her tears. She blinked, and there was another cloud over her but this one seemed like it was here to protect her. “Alisa?” She heard her name again. The voice sounded familiar, and she blinked repeatedly for her vision to clear, and when it finally cleared, she could not believe it was who she thought it was. Why was Elliott Hansen here? He picked her up and held her in his arms, taking her gently out of the car. She looked around for the taxi driver and he lay still on the floor, blood oozing out of his head. “Thank you, Elliott.” She whispered amidst the haze and the ringing in her ears as she faded into oblivion. Her eyes blinked open in the h

Elliott was now in front of her, his hands gripping the bars between them. He was scary and looked like a wild animal, his hair ruffled up on his head and his eyes red. Was this what prison turned people to? She stepped back, but Elliott grabbed her arms.“I can forgive you, Alisa. Just tell me you love me. Tell me you love me more than you love Jayden. Kiss me and forget about him. Let’s behave like he never came into our lives.” Elliott said in a low tone.His grip on her arms was getting tighter, and they hurt. Plus, he was scaring her and she wanted to cry. She tried to pull away, but Elliott was holding her even tighter and trying to make her promise to love him. Right now, she was disgusted and had reached her limit.“I don’t love you, Elliott. Let me go. You’re acting like a child.” Alisa screamed. His hands were chafing at her skin with the force of his grip.“Let her go!” the guard ordered, and Elliott pushed her away with a shout.She was thrown backwards and almost crashed

Apart from Elliott, Jayden now had one more fear.And that fear stemmed from not having a definite answer as to if he still loved Avana the same way he did when she was alive.He still dearly loved her. He could not deny it, but it was never the same after he kissed Alisa. Before he met Alisa, Avana was so prevalent in his heart that he held full conversations with her in his head as though she was still with him, speaking to her and hoping she was listening. And seeing Avana in his dreams every night felt like a confirmation that she still loved him wherever she was.But since he met Alisa Grant, Avana became less and less real. She had never really died to him, but now she was becoming less alive, like a fading echo. Worse, since the night he kissed Alisa, he had not seen Avana in his dreams, and it disturbed him that it did not hurt him as much as he would have wanted it to.He felt like an experienced murderer, who had killed so many that killing no longer ripped apart his soul a

The room suddenly seemed too small and airtight for him. He was finding it hard to breathe. He could feel himself wanting to morph because of the strength of his fear.“I’ll get you the doctor,” Jayden said, and without waiting for a reaction from Johnny, turned out of the ward. He hurried his steps and walked past Alisa and Stacy in the waiting room.“Mr Wells?” Stacy called out, being the first to spot him, but he breezed past them without looking. Alisa had wanted to call his name too, but she sensed the urgency in his gait.“He might be busy, Stacy. Let us go.” Alisa said and felt a kind of pride because she thought she understood him.Jayden dashed out of the hospital and wanted to take his car as he felt his bones shifting in his body, but he changed his mind quickly, now horrified by the art of driving in itself. He walked on the roadside for the first time in years, taking long strides to nowhere in particular and taking deep breaths, trying to control his body’s morphing int

Most human belief systems share the idea that there is a constant struggle between good and evil in the mind, and that the evil has to be kept at bay to let the good flow through, or that measures should be taken to satisfy both the good and the evil to keep a balance between them.For the worshippers of the Moon Goddess who are humans with the unique ability to morph into wolf forms, they believe this too, and while they hold the view that the good in them should be let out at all times, they also think that the evil parts of them too should have its wishes done at times to keep the mind balanced. In addition, they believe that when the evil part of them is in control, it is stronger than the good because it is rarely fed its desire. Once it has taken hold of the mind, it is like a hungry man in sight of food, kept away for so long that it had silently gone crazy for want of its desire and it was now ready to do anything just to have it.Another reason it was stronger was that it co
