All Chapters of THE BETA AND I: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

CATHERINE. I was still reeling in anger, even if it had been more than thirty minutes since Carlotta left my room. So when Maddox sent me a mindlink to come down to his office, I already knew it must have something to do with it. I didn’t want to go, but the way he ordered me left me no room for objection as he shut down his mindlink afterward.If this were another day, I would probably ignore him. But with Zoey here earlier and my father and brother on their way here, I had to. I didn’t want to be left with no information, even if the one who would give me it was Maddox himself. So if Carlotta told him about us, then I had to swallow that, and hopefully, I came out of his office alive.It had been more than an hour since Zoey left, and I was assuming she was already home by now, and hopefully, she was able to reach out to Amara.My only prayer was that Maddox didn’t meet her before she left and ordered her not to say anything about my ordeal. But if anything, Xander didn’t say anyt

CATHERINE. I watched as the men I loved drove away, leaving me behind with the man I loathed the most. I had no idea what would happen next, and I doubted if I could ever get away from him. My last chance of being saved was gone. I just hoped that after two days, if we didn’t show up there, they would find a way to come back here in full force. Maybe take the Council with them — anyone, just as long as they would not be outnumbered. But with the many weapons all around here, I was already losing hope they could do something about this. “They’re gone. No need to stare at the open space.” Maddox chuckled mockingly as he walked back to the packhouse, leaving me alone. I didn’t say anything. I didn’t even move to look at him, even when all I wanted was to shout at him and punch him. I had to restrain myself, at least until my family left the territory. ‘Beta Xander…’ I mindlinked the Beta as he was asked to follow them until the border, but I heard Maddox instructing him not to conve

BETA XANDER. I watched as Catherine’s wolf sprinted away in the direction I instructed her to go. I doubted if she would be able to catch up with them on how her brother was driving the car. But that direction would also lead her to Lady Zoey’s pack if she kept going. I hope she will find solace there. But I had to send someone to check the path she took to make sure she got there safely. But who? I had no idea, as everyone in this pack was loyal to Maddox. Or I should say loyal to his Alpha command. I scoffed as I shook my head. I had been in this pack for over two months to replace the former Beta, and until now, I had no idea what had happened to him. I tried asking Maddox, but he ignored me, and no one else was saying anything either. Even Gamma Kenzo. It was then that all my gut feelings were confirmed. This pack was running under his Alpha command. And I knew I had just made the right decision to accept this post, even if I never wanted to be a part of the ranks. In fact

BETA ANDREW. “How could you let them enter here with your sister’s mate tagging along his mistress?” Luna Charina was fuming with her words. I swear there was more than one person who growled inside the room, including her own son. I held my breath as Zoey grabbed her mother’s arm and dragged her toward the door, something Zoey had never done her whole life, but she looked feral at the moment as she scowled at the Luna. And for some reason, even if this was inappropriate at the moment, I liked this side of her, as Zoey had always been prim and proper. “I’m sure you are not invited here, Mom.” She told her in a firm tone before nodding at her brother, telling him she would handle this. We knew that if Lawrence took this one in his hand, the whole packhouse would hear his loud voice again, as he would often lose his patience whenever he clashed and fought with the Luna. I waited until Zoey and Luna Charina, who kept talking and bashing Tyler, left the room before I followed th

FORMER BETA GAVIN. “Purity can’t be dead, Dad.” “Will it matter to you that she’s wolfless?” “No. Not that one. I just don’t want to lose Purity.” “The Goddess listens, Tyler. Don’t lose hope…” “The Goddess never loved me, Dad.” “Don’t say that.” “I don’t even know what I did or what Catherine did wrong. I did try to love Zoey. I tried, but is it our fault if we love a different person? I never abuse Zoey, so it is so fucking unfair that Catherine had to suffer like this when she was the purest soul I have ever met.” I pulled Tyler into my arms and hugged HIM, holding the back of his head as I whispered my response. “There are things we can never answer, but that doesn’t mean it is yours or Catherine’s fault. This was all on Maddox and how he chose to be.” “I think Catherine is my second chance mate,” he said almost immediately after I finished speaking. “What do you mean?” I pulled him away from my body as my forehead creased. Second chance mates were very rare, and I was s
