All Chapters of The Missing Beta: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

~Chandra~“Do you understand what your role is?” I sigh internally, having heard this plan over and over again. It isn’t a complex plan, so it doesn’t take much to understand what’s expected of me. I literally have one job that I will have to perform if I’m called to do so. “Answer me!” I turn my head in the direction of the voice and take a deep breath in, slowly letting it out.“Yes, I understand my role.”“Good! Don’t fuck it up!” I’m alone in the room pretty quickly, and I let out a breath. I hate this entire situation. This is not how this was supposed to play out. I only wanted the resources and life specimens to continue my research. If I had known things would turn out like this, I’d have thought twice before agreeing to anything.I sigh and lean back on the seat I’m occupying. This is a disaster, even more so since there isn’t Luca to lean on anymore. Usually, he’s the one who has direct contact with them, but they ended him. Now, here I am at their mercy, and there’s no one

~Tatiana~I don’t know what came over me. I don’t want to say it was the mate bond, but it felt like more than that. All I know is that the moment those words left her mouth, I lunged at Katarina. I was able to catch her off guard and knock her to the ground.I anchor myself upright, straddling my best friend. Fear, pain, and anger take over, and I’m striking Katarina. I’m alternating between my left and right hands and hitting her anywhere I can reach. Katarina pulls her arms up in an attempt to shield her face from my blows. “What the fuck are you doing, Tatiana?!” Dominic’s voice is filled with distress, but I can’t be bothered with that now. I continue my assault, and I notice movement in the corner of my eye. I know Dominic will pull me off her, but I can’t let that happen. The moment I’m removed, Katarina will have the upper hand.I guess there are a lot of things that I don’t know. There are things about life, love, and loyalty that I have no knowledge of. I didn’t know how to

~Aston~Wake up! I swallow, and a small moan escapes my lips. I know you can hear me… get up! I swear this rest is good, and I’m not ready to be awake. I wish Dario would go back to sleep. WAKE THE FUCK UP!! I shoot up into a sitting position. I look around and see the sterile white walls of the pack’s clinic. My parents are sitting on a couch in the corner, and Katarina sits at the side of the bed. The door opens, and the witch walks in. Shit! I’m up now. What was so fucking urgent?Think, asshole! Think about what just happened to us. I close my eyes, blocking everyone out. I replay the events of the day in an attempt to figure out what Dario’s panties are in a bunch. Suddenly, it hits me, and my eyes fly open.“What is it, Aston? What’s wrong?” I let my eyes land on the witch before speaking.“Where’s that witch? The one who was on stage with the Alpha family?” She turns her head slightly, taking me in.“Chandra?”“Is that her name?” I think back to when she came to check on me al

*Flashback cont…*It’s been months, and I’ve been around Sasha as much as possible. I would have made a move already, but her being pregnant held me off. One would think that it was the toddler of my own that kept me from approaching Sasha, but that’s not true. My fated mate gave me my heir, and I wanted Sasha as well.So, it wasn’t my own child that put me off, but the fact that she was pregnant. It’s one thing to move in after her mate’s demise, but it’s another to do so when there’s a bun in the oven. I hated to wait, but I had to play this smart.Her baby girl came into this world quickly and loudly. I went to visit a few times, and I could tell that the baby was bringing joy back into her life. I figure I should just take a chance. She’s seen how hard it is raising a child alone. She stays with her brother and his mate, but I know it isn’t the same.I knock on her door and clear my throat. The anticipation is rough to deal with, but I’m sure it’s going to be worth it in the long

~Katarina~We haven’t been in Alpha Blake’s office long, but Aston has already created a storm of papers and other materials. He’s pulled out drawers and books off shelves, searching for anything that could give us any important information.I stand in the middle of the office, taking the room in. It’s a basic office, I’d say. He has a large desk in the room, bookshelves with books, a couch in a corner, and anything else you would expect to find in an office. I slowly turn in the room, trying to see if anything catches my eye. I stop while facing his desk. There’s a picture hanging off the side, but it’s out of place.As long as I’ve known Alpha Blake, from when I started to date King, I’ve realized a few things about him. One of those things is that he isn’t much of a decorator. He keeps things pretty simple, and the most he will do are family photos. The picture hanging on the wall is an abstract. It’s beautiful, but it isn’t the Alpha and doesn’t belong. I’m sure people think that
