All Chapters of Beta Before An Alpha: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Zachary’s POV:I waited as the slow, grueling seconds ticked by.It was only when she opened her mouth to speak did I let myself breathe.“I don’t know, Zach.” She’d said.I smiled painfully, giving her a nod.“I understand.”Then I whipped around and locked eyes with her.“But I’m not giving up.”I won’t.The goddess gave me this chance.I’m not about to fuck it up.. . .I jumped out of the truck and made my way quickly to the other side, opening the door for her.She gave me a quizzical look. Her beautiful silver eyes I grew obsessed with sparkled delightfully, my heart stopped.My eyes lowered to her lips, parting slightly.Oh how I missed those lips.Right then and there, I wanted to whisk her off her feet and carry her straight to my bed.I wanted to make love to her, despite knowing she’d made love to someone else that night I ran into her in my hotel.The night she disappeared and took my heart along with her.I’d never forgiven myself for letting that happen.But right now, fa

Evvie’s POV:No.No, no, no, no, fuck no!This is a joke. It has to be.“It is not a joke.” Vana spoke suddenly. “He is our mate.” She confirmed, but I was not about to believe it.I scoffed at her. “Oh look who’s back.”“What the fuck happened to you?” I nearly snapped, “It’s like you just disappeared.” I grind my teeth.Pulling my lip up into a snarl, I growled. “Now this!”When the alpha set his eyes on me and claimed me as his mate, I did any rational girl would do.I ran.I can’t do it. I’ll have Barrak send someone else to investigate for the case. I can’t.God forbid anything happens that would trap me all over again, sealing my fate in this hellhole that was once my pack.One thing. One thing happens and it changes everything.Vana wanted to watch the exchange between Zachary and the alpha slash our so-called mate. But I refused.I didn’t waste a moment and took the opportunity. Taking off, I sprinted into the forest, shifting mid-air into my midnight-black wolf.Running aimle

Evvie's POV:He swiped his car keys from his pocket and turned to Logan’s huge-ass wolf. Unlike mine, his was the color of pure white. He's beautiful, and I've been fighting the urge to stare at him as we ran our way back. My wolf has been watching his every move in awe, making it difficult not to gawk at him.“I ask your permission to take my sister home, Alpha.” Ethan said, bowing his head in submission.Logan’s eyes glazed over, letting me know they were having a silent conversation through mindlink. Whereas I stood there awaiting his decision. But that just won’t do.With a huff, I strutted straight to my brother’s truck. I refuse to let him or the alpha make decisions for me like this was five years ago.I won’t take bullshit from anyone anymore.I decide what to do. And right now, I decide to go home, take a nice, sweet, bubble bath, and go to bed in nothing but my underwear.Yep, the decision is final.“Where are you going?” Logan’s deep voice floated in my head.“Home. I don’t

Evvie’s POV:The sound of my phone buzzing made me stir awake as I extended my hand to grab my phone under my pillow. I was half-asleep when I answered, pressing the phone against my ear with my eyes still shut.“Hello?” I greeted in a groggy voice.“Hey sleepyhead,” Pixie.“Goddess, do you know what time it is?” I asked, groaning.“Girl, you tell me.” She giggled and I groaned, forcing one eye open to look at the time above my screen.“Fuck!” I hissed. My head instantly jolting up from my comfy pillow as I glared at the screen.Pixie snorted whilst I plopped my head back down.“Can’t blame me. This is when I normally wake up.” Working night shifts as one of the elite warriors on the hunt? Yeah, waking up at exactly 12 noon became my norm.“Where’s Casey?” I asked, rubbing my eyes.“She’s in her room. Typing away as always.”“Right.”“What time did you arrive?” she asked.“Around four p.m. yesterday, I think. Why?”“I suppose you’ve already reunited with… that guy?”“Who?”It took me

Evvie’s POV:Barrak was right. He’s always right.After walking out of the pack house, I barreled towards Ethan’s truck. Slipping into the driver’s seat, I ditched the keys and triggered the ignition using the wires. It was one of the many things we rogues developed as a skill. My heart thundered in my chest as I reversed, accidentally bumping into a flashy red mustang parked out front. Ignoring a pair of dark eyes boring holes into my back, I punched the gas and drove off.Angry tears threatened to spill out but I fought them back.“Mates are so fucking overrated.” Barrak’s voice flitted through my head.Barrak was right. He’s always right. I thought to myself, and my mind just drifted off.TWO YEARS AGOIt was one of those days. We just finished training under Barrak’s watch. It was just me and him in the locker room.Pixie wasn’t feeling well, so she told me she was heading back first. I had offered to accompany her on the way in case she fainted, but she refused, leaving me alone
