All Chapters of His Beta's Daughter: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

It felt like it took an eternity for Luke and his family to leave my house - his family, for exception of Samantha. I didn't know what it was that had kept him waiting as long as he had, but I had a suspicion that he was waiting for Samantha to get out of the bathroom. And it seemed like it wasn't something that was going to happen any time soon. It had taken a while for him to get the message, but when he finally realised that he wasn't going to be able to speak to his daughter, he left. And I couldn't have been more thankful. I made sure to wait on the porch while they disappeared into the distance, following behind Gwen - Gwen, who looked like she was more than happy to get them away from me. It was something that worried me slightly, but I knew that she had now created an entirely different scenario in her head, and she was determined to give me and Samantha the privacy that we needed. I wished that I could claim that I disliked it, but the problem came in when I adm

The next few minutes passed by in a blur, happening so fast that I didn't really know what hit me until it had already hit me. It seemed to me like this was the point in the conversation that Elijah had been waiting for, the one that he had been aiming to reach. I wouldn't have guessed it to be the case, but once he knew that I was fully aware of what he had meant with that statement, he got up and walked out of the bathroom, like he hadn't even been there in the first place. I didn't know why he chose then to leave, but I wasn't going to get up and go after him in order to question him, either. As much as I was interested in knowing what was going through his mind, I knew that I was in no position to do so. There were aches and pains everywhere in my body, and all that there was for me to do, was to lay here and recover from it. The water had turned a murky brown colour, something that I was only able to see thanks to the opening around my face. I was no genius, but if I had to tak

When I stepped into the gymnasium, I knew, without a doubt that Gwen had managed to get it right to get Samantha to spar with her. It was something that she had suggested to me through the mind link, and since I had been fully convinced that Samantha would not indulge something like this, I had agreed to it. But now, I found myself questioning whether or not I had made the right call of judgement in regards to Samantha. After all, why would she be sparring with Gwen when she had just come from the infirmary? It was like she was asking for trouble. And Gwen wasn't exactly the nicest person when it came to sparring either. The two of them were bound to be going neck and neck, exhausting one another. And judging by the crowd that had formed around the floor of the gymnasium, I knew that my assumptions were definitely on track with what was actually happening. I did not know what I was going to do about it just yet, but I did know that I could not break it up. That would be more of an em

As it turned out, Elijah had wanted to go home - or perhaps he had been under the impression that I wanted to go home. I didn’t bother questioning him about it, because I did not feel like there was a point to it. If he believed that it was what had been needed, then so be it. I was in no position to question his decisions. If there had been any actual reason why he had wanted us to come here, I wasn’t able to pick up on it either. It was like he had just come here for the sake of it, to remove me from the gymnasium. He didn’t even bother speaking to me, or anything. He retired to his bedroom and that had been the last that I had seen of him. And it had been quite a while since we had gotten back here. I had done what I could in terms of staying busy, but all too soon, my list of options had run out. It was something that I blamed on the omegas, for they had taken the liberty of unpacking all of my belongings and putting them in my room. It was something that I would have considered

“I’m surprised that you’re still here.” I wished that I could tell her that I was surprised to see her here, but I knew that doing so would not yield any rewards for me. Admittedly, I had been expecting her to be here much sooner, but Elijah had clarified to me that he would only be sending Gwen here once she had completed her duties for the initiation. I took this as a sign that she had finished all of those things. Of course, there was a chance that I was wrong, but I didn’t really think that it would create much of a problem. “And why is that?” “You don’t seem like the kind of person who stays cooped up in a house the whole day.” I lifted my shoulders in a shrug, once again feeling like I was at a loss for words. I hadn’t been aware of the fact that I was so easy to sum up, but I hoped, for my sake, that Gwen had a good opinion of me. I didn’t know why, but there was a part of me that felt like I was going to be seeing a lot of her, and it was just better for all parties involv
