Skylar's POV

After trying to lick the first bowl clean, I quickly learned that it earned me another bowl of white chicken chili. I had every intention of licking the second bowl clean, but I didn't count on my eyes being bigger than my stomach.

I ate way more than my stomach could handle, and thankfully, he understood what was happening when my hand slapped over my mouth. He quickly stood and carried me to the garbage can. As soon as my face hovered over it, my stomach emptied at once.

I wasn't expecting him to be so concerned or take care of me the way he did.

He set me on the counter next to the sink, grabbed a clean washcloth, and wiped my face. After he was done, he placed a hand on my cheek. “Are you okay?” He asked as he searched my face.

For a moment, I didn't know how to reply. No one had ever seemed so concerned about me. All I did was overfill my stomach, but by his reactions, you would have thought it was something more.

It took me by surprise, and a lump formed in my th

    Alaric's POV My father has been riding my ass since he's been back. I don't know what his deal is, but he's become a real pain in my ass.I try to focus on work, but he plagues my thoughts. I can still feel his smooth, silky skin under my hands and hear his beautiful moans. I can feel the way his body shudders under my touch and see pleasure dancing on his face. I can see his beautiful brown eyes and feel his lips on mine. Goddess, he smells so good!I try not to think of him and wonder if I can just forget about him. It would be for the best. My father would never approve of him. Our packs are too different; our worlds are too far apart. But Goddess, he feels so good in my arms!!It's been four days since I've seen him, four days since I felt him. It should be getting easier, but it's not; it's getting harder. You would have thought the bond was never broken the way I yearn for him. You would have thought our time together is strengthening it, but I know that can't be possible. I bro

  • A Beta's Heart   Chapter 25 Growling at a Picture

    Adrian's POV Sitting in on our parent's debriefing was almost comical. Weston could barely sit still. He was eager to talk about his mate and eager to get back to him. The Alpha threatened to knock him upside the head if he interrupted them one more time. Nikolai and I placed a bet on how long it would take before he interrupted again. Unfortunately, we both lost when the Alpha turned his attention to Weston. He folded his hands on the desk, and before he could open his mouth, Weston was already talking. “He's so perfect! I can't wait for you guys to meet him! His name is Skyler, and he's the most adorable Omega I've ever met!” Weston gushed, and his father sat back with a proud smile on his face. “I'm very happy for you, but what was the important part that you wanted to talk to us about?”“It's where he's from. He's from Blackfoot Pack. Beta Eric chose him as a breeder for him and Tiffany. Obviously, he didn't want to do that, so he ran away,” Weston said. The Alpha sat back in

  • A Beta's Heart   Chapter 26 Alaric & Evan

    Third Person's POV Soft music played in the background as Adrian cooked in the kitchen. His heart warmed every time he looked into the living room and saw the omegas cuddling on the couch. It was a purr fest in there. The two are lying on the couch; their limbs are tangled, and they're purring up a storm as they nuzzle each other. He's never seen anything cuter. They're head over heels in love with each other, and they're happier than they've ever been.The soft rumble of their purrs is soothing and drowns out the music. Adrian stirs the sauce before tasting it and hums in satisfaction; it's perfect! He sets the spoon down and looks out the window. Any minute, the rest of his friends will be here, but something will still be missing... Alaric.He finds himself wishing Alaric was there. He's the missing piece that would make everything perfect and complete.He begins to wonder what it would be like to have him over for something so casual, like dinner with friends. He looks at the co

  • A Beta's Heart   Chapter 27

    Adrian's POV I spent way too long getting ready. I tried on almost everything in my closet before settling on something I would never wear: a suit and tie. The damn thing felt like it was choking me, but I had the strongest urge to look my best for him, so I sucked it up. I got my hair cut today, but I can’t decide how I want it styled. The sides are short, fading into the longer hair on top. My hair is naturally curly and can sometimes be unruly. Thankfully, with the right product, it's not a frizzy mess. The curls are just right. I gently raked my fingers through them, brushing my hair back so they lay just right. Then, I looked in the mirror and frowned. That won't do. I comb the curls to the left with my fingers and fluff them until they’re just right, but it still looks wrong. I growl in frustration and comb everything to the right with my fingers. After fiddling with the curls and making sure each one laid just right, I'm finally satisfied and head downstairs. A loud whistle

    Adrian's POV This is it. It's permanent. He made his choice, and it wasn't me. There's nothing I can do now but accept it and try to move on. I felt dead inside. Seeing him with someone he chose over me was much worse than when he broke the bond. This hurt differently, and in ways, it cut much deeper.I knew better than to let him into my heart. I don't know why I gave in. I don't know why I caved and let him in further. I should have pushed him away and kicked him out of my room the first time he came to me.I should have never given him myself; maybe it wouldn't hurt so bad if I didn’t. I couldn't pull myself out of bed the following day, but today, you couldn't keep me there.It was too much. I couldn't stop thinking about him. I couldn't stop seeing how gorgeous he looked in that suit. I couldn't get the image out of my head of someone else on his arm, the person he chose to spend the rest of his life with. I had to get those images out of my head, and the only way to do that w

    Adrian's POV “Goddess, I'm such an asshole! Please forgive me! I'm sorry for hurting you,” Alaric said as he passed everyone and entered the pack house. He began peppering my face and neck with kisses while repeatedly saying, “I'm sorry!”I'm not sure how he knew which apartment was mine, but he walked right to my door and opened it as though he had walked through that door many times.I pulled back and looked at him as he walked through the living room. I glanced at the room around us. It was the first time I had ever seen him there. It stirred a new wave of emotions, and my eyes stung… It was something I thought I'd never see.“I'm sorry!” He whispered before pecking my lips. “ I'm sorry!” He said a little louder and kissed my nose. “ I'm sorry!” He said before kissing my cheek. “ I'm sorry!” He said before kissing my forehead, and a smile began to spread across my face as he circled it with kisses. “I'm sorry!” He said as he crawled onto the bed, climbing under the blanket and cov

  • A Beta's Heart   Chapter 30

    Alaric’s POV I was numb. It felt like I was separated from my body, hovering above it and watching my body move as I stepped into my clothes.I never thought my father would choose a mate for me. I had the impression he would let me find someone on my own and fall in love. Apparently, I was wrong.I tried saying no. I argued, and said there was no way I would take someone I didn't know as a mate, but he was adamant. He said it was done. The arrangements were made, and there was nothing I could do to back out. The agreement was made, and the contract was signed. He said breaking the contract would have dire consequences. I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to let my father down. I knew he was counting on me to take over one day since I was the only one who could. My brother doesn't have alpha blood, and we have no other siblings. He would have to start over from scratch and have more children. But even that's no guarantee he would have another Alpha son. The Omegas worked silent

  • A Beta's Heart   Chapter 31

    Adrian's POV When I entered the Alpha's office with Alaric, I was surprised that it was just the Alpha and my father. I didn't expect Nikolai or Weston, but I did expect Leonard. I thought for sure he would be here to drill Adrian for security measures, but it looks like it's not that kind of meeting. When we entered the office, my father glared daggers at Alaric, but he paid him no attention. My father sat in the seat to the right, so I sat next to him and had Alaric sit to my left. With the look my father was giving Alaric, I was afraid he might try to strangle him if they sat next to each other. “I won't pretend I don't know what's happening between you two. I'm well aware you two are mates and that you rejected Adrian the night of the party,” My Alpha said, and a little of Alaric's cockiness was chipped away. He might not have told anyone, but I did, although it wasn't like I had a choice. “I'm the one who found him in the woods that night. He was right where you left him, on

    Third Person's POV “Who are these people, and why did you bring them here?” Nikolai asked, folding his arms over his chest. Arthur didn't know what to say. He couldn't get over the image of seeing Nikolai in another man's arms. It stung. “I…I,” Art exhales, and his shoulder slumps. “It doesn't matter. I shouldn't have come,” Art said, and tried to turn, but his sister wouldn't let him. She grabbed his shoulders and forced him to face Nikolai before gently shoving him forward. “You're not leaving until you talk to him, and that's final!” Alina said, folding her arms over her chest. Nikolai took a step back to put distance between himself and Art. He feared he might crawl into his arms if he allowed him to stay that close. As Nikolai stepped back, he backed into Sean's chest. The Beta placed his hand on Nikolai's shoulder, and both Arthurs raised an eyebrow at him. Sean wasn't afraid of the Arthur in front of Nikolai, but he was afraid of the one standing next to the girl. He wa

    Third Person's POV His chest hurt unlike anything he had ever felt before. It feels like someone was ripping his heart from his chest. It was hard to keep the tears from falling as he stared down at his sleeping mate. His heart stutters, and he draws a shaky breath in before setting the letter on the nightstand beside him. His lips tremble against his Beta's forehead, and tears fall. “I'm sorry!” He whispered a shaky breath against his skin before stepping onto the balcony and leaping over the edge, disappearing into the night. ~His room lay in ruins. It looked like a tornado had hit his room. Everything lay in pieces around him as he sat on the floor, reading the letter over and over again as tears flowed.He's not sure what he's looking for. Maybe a hidden clue as to why his mate would suddenly do something like this. It doesn't make sense. He thought they were happy and madly in love. Why would he leave? How does he expect him to live without his other half? Adrian balls up t

  • A Beta's Heart   Chapter 65

    Third Person's POV Adrian squirms, lightly laughing as Alaric sucks, nips, and kisses at the sensitive flesh of his stomach.Alaric looks into Adrian's beautiful eyes that sparkle with happiness, and his heart clenches. ‘How will I ever be able to do this?’ The Alpha wonders. His eyes close, and he tenderly kisses Adrian's stomach. “I love you more than anything in this world, my Beta,” Alaric whispered against Adrian's stomach. He kept his walls guarded as he trailed kisses up Adrian's body. He didn't stop until his face hovered above Adrian's. He let his eyes sweep over his Beta's face and burned every detail into his mind. “Kiss me, my Alpha,” Adrian said, taking Alaric's face into his hands.Alaric didn't waste another second and gave his Beta what he wanted. His lips pressed tenderly to his Beta's lips before tasting his kiss and slowly entering him. ~ § ~Nikolai's POV I'm annoyed that my father won't let me set foot on the training field yet. He wants to talk to me first,

  • A Beta's Heart   Chapter 64 Arthur

    Arthur's POV I couldn't sleep. All I thought of was him. He was my every thought. Whenever I closed my eyes, I saw his handsome face and those beautiful blue eyes. My wolf was driving me insane. He wouldn't stop urging me to go to him. My wolf was urging me, and my own desires became too much, and I just had to see him... I just never anticipated what I would see when I got there. Those lips that were only meant for me pressed against another man's lips right before my eyes, and my heart shattered. My wolf disappeared instantly, but not before I felt how devastated he was. I couldn't move as I watched them kiss. It felt like a hot knife in my chest, and I couldn't swallow the lump in my throat; it was too large. My eyes stung, and tears overflowed. It's been a long time since I've cried. This perfect evening was ruined as I watched their foreheads rest against each other so lovingly. I slowly backed away before turning and running back home. As soon as I entered my territory, Am

  • A Beta's Heart   Chapter 63 Emotional

    Nikolai's POV I feel movement beside me as I wake up, but I'm still too tired to open my eyes. I become somewhat aware of my surroundings and feel the warmth of a body lying in my arms. I smell cinnamon, and my heart skips a beat. The warm body in my arms snuggles in closer, and I smile—my mind races, and I hum as I wrap my arms tighter around him and begin nuzzling him. My eyebrows knit together when I suddenly feel a vibration and hear a soft purr. I pull my head back, open my eyes, and nearly jump when I look into Milo's eyes instead of Art's like I expected.“Why do you smell like cinnamon?” I asked the Omega with wide eyes. He smiled and blushed, which only confused me further. “I ate a cinnamon roll a few minutes ago,” the Omega said, and that's when I noticed it. This little thing still had a bit of cinnamon and sugar on the corner of his mouth. No wonder that was all I smelled.I chuckled, pulled him into my arms, and kissed his head. “You're adorable,” I said, and he immed

  • A Beta's Heart   Chapter 62 Exhausted

    Arthur's POV My arm rests against the windowsill as I lean against it, staring outside and watching the rain. The weather was like my mood, dark and gloomy. My wolf pestors me, urging me to go to Nikolai, but I won't. I look up at the sky, and can barely remember what the sky above the Kingdom looked like. I looked down at the grass, remembering how many times the King's guard came close to catching me. I picture my father's face, and I sense my eyes glowing with a ring of gold. I don't force it away like I do when I'm outside of this room. This is my safe room. A spell seals this room and allows me to be who I am without fear of being sensed. I turn away from the window and look at the couch. The couch I've been sleeping on since the day I met Nikolai. I sigh, walk around my desk to the couch on the other side of the room, and drop down onto it. I lay my head back, and just as it touches the couch, my phone rings. I groan before pulling my phone out. As soon as I see the scree

  • A Beta's Heart   Chapter 61 At His Mercy

    Nikolai's POV “Mine!” He growled, with his arms wrapped possessively around me. His nose was pressed against my neck, just under my jaw, and his chest vibrated as he glared daggers at Sean. Sean's initial expression was one of confusion, followed by anger. When he stood, he took several steps forward. I could tell he was ready to lunge at Art, but that last step he took brought him within range of Art’s aura, which was pulsing. Arthur's chest vibrated harder against my body as his menacing growl became louder and more threatening. Sean's eyes widened, and he slowly backed away.The Alpha's body trembled, and his fingers dug into my skin, bruisingly. If I were an Omega, I would probably cry out from the pain, and if this were anyone else, I would have punched them, but Art's grip on me felt good. It took me a moment to realize every place he was touching with his face was a spot Sean had touched. This asshole is trying to get rid of Sean's scent as if he was my mate.Arthur paused

  • A Beta's Heart   Chapter 60 A New Day

    Arthur's POV My mind won't stop; every thought races through it. His kiss, did I say too much? Where are they and when will they leave? I fucked up… I said too much, and I let it slip again. I’m not sure how much longer I can keep doing this. I'm losing my mind and this battle. I push on my Beta's link, forcing it open, and I hear Lance groan. “Why can you never wait for me to open it?” “Because I'm your Alpha, and I need you,” I snapped.“Yeah, well, I could have been pushing out a turd or jacking off! You could have at least given me a second to stop if I was doing something private!” Lance said, his frustration seeping into the link for me to feel. “Have you heard from Mitchell?” I asked, ignoring his frustration. I don't care what he was doing. I want answers! “No, but I did get a text while I was in the shower. Hang on,” Lance said, and he went silent. It wasn't like a phone where I could hear the sound of movement, or him breathing. His voice was either in my head or it w

  • A Beta's Heart   Chapter 58 Regret

    Nikolai's POV The run back was much different. We didn't play, nip, or tug at each other's fur. There was silence and tension. He seemed lost in his thoughts and hardly paid attention to me. I couldn't help but feel like he regretted kissing me. I can understand why. Alphas don't mate with each other. Hell, most Alphas won't even take a submissive Beta because they're too dominant and headstrong. There's no way one would take another Alpha. What was the point of it all then? Why flirt and kiss me? Just to tease me? That thought put a knot in my stomach and caused my chest to ache. I stayed quiet and kept my distance from him as we ran back through the woods. I felt awkward, and strangely, I felt used, even though nothing happened besides a kiss. Still, it didn't change how I felt. The way he kissed me like that, and now he's acting like I'm not even here. I felt like an idiot for going for a run with him in the first place. He's my father's friend, not mine! Then why did he ask me
