All Chapters of THE BETA AND I: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

ALICE. I heard Joshua close the door before he pulled me to his side. “I’m sorry. I had no fucking idea why I couldn’t do or say anything.” “It’s okay. I don’t think anything you say or do would make her change her mind.” I answered him as we continued walking. “The Council is a long shot," he said. “I know.” I stopped walking as my shoulders sagged. My eyes watered as I turned to my side to face him. “I have a bad record with the Council, with what Mom did and the fiasco I made to Amara.” “What did you do to Amara?” He asked as he pulled me towards an empty receiving room and closed the door once we were inside. “I almost attacked her if I was not stopped. She was already nine months pregnant. It was outside the Council building. Someone saw that and reported me. You know how you’re not allowed to touch, threaten, or hurt a Luna? So I got a warning. Roan pleaded on my behalf.” The tears fell from my eyes as I dropped my gaze to the floor. “And now, I’m going to blow the chance

JOSHUA. “Will you be okay, Mom?” Alice’s shoulders shook as her hands clamped on her mouth to stifle her sobs, and my arms wrapped around her as I let her head rest on my chest, hoping my touch could calm her down. She told me that she was recently able to understand why her mom was rude to most males who would show interest in her. She wanted to make sure they would never go for her because Alpha Drex wanted to forge more alliances and was always thinking of mating Alice to anyone who could offer him that. The only thing stopping him was his Luna and Alice’s refusal to date them. Luna Renee’s eyes watered, but it was gone in seconds, her head still held high as she looked at her daughter. “I will be fine. After five years, I’m hoping Roan will let me go back to the place where I was born and raised. But if not, I’m sure I can find my place somewhere.” Roan’s hand on the top of the table coiled into a tight fist, but he didn’t say anything. At this point, I was sure that even if

RIVER. I was helping the Omegas in the kitchen for lunch when Luna Matilda asked for me again. She asked if I had the letter ready, and I handed it to her. And everything after that happened so fast. I thought she just wanted to check the letter, but before I knew it, she asked me to pack my few belongings and informed me that I would be leaving the territory in thirty minutes. I didn’t even have time to think because she told me if I couldn’t get my things ready, then I would leave with whatever I had with me. So I rushed back to my room and took my backpack. The first thing I grabbed was the piece of paper where my aunt’s address was written. That was the only place I could think of to go after I left this place. I then shoved some clothes that I had in the bag. I had limited space, so I chose only what I needed to have. My eyes lingered on the dress Alice gave me, the one I used when we went out. As much as I wanted to take it with me, I didn’t. I no longer needed the memory

ALICE. My coiled fist connected with his jaw. I had punched several men in my lifetime, but I was sure I had never hit anyone as hard as I hit Eugene. After Kenneth told us in what state he found Eugene and River, I knew that there would never come a time when I would forgive him. Ever. Of all the females to assault, he chose River — someone who was too good for anybody. Rage was ruling my whole body, and I acted without thinking. As soon as my fist hit him, a loud growl erupted from his throat, and even though he staggered back, he was able to gather his footing right away. And before I knew it, he was launching at me. “You, mother fucker!” He roared, his arm stretching back with his hand balled into a tight fist. He was planning to hit me back. My eyes widened, and even if I wanted to scream, no sound left my lips. But I saw a figure pass me, and the next thing I saw was Joshua lunging at Eugene. His hand snaked around his neck before he slammed his body to the ground. A lo

LADY RIVER. I didn’t know I had fallen asleep on the train ride to Bernice City. I was grateful the female from whom I bought the ticket woke me up and told me we were approaching the station where I needed to get off. After making sure everything I had in my bag was still intact, I took my aunt’s address out and asked her if it was a long way from the station. She told me I needed to take a bus to get there. I was left with no choice but to tell her I couldn’t read and that I might end up somewhere far from this place. Her eyes softened as she grabbed a pen from her pocket and ripped a piece of paper from her notepad. She began to draw something out of it before she handed it to me. “When you get out of here, you will see a red building. Cross that street to get there. And in the direction where a colorful rainbow arch is, head in that direction. Follow that sidewalk. Just continue forward. You will pass three corners. On the fourth corner, turn left. Here.” She pointed at the
