Alpha King's Unmated Sister-in-law Chapter 35
Ms. Rokley? Who was calling her that? She hadn't been called by that name since before the wedding. Even as a widow, she carried herself as the bride of the late Warren Heether, so custom demanded others name and treat her the same way. So what was this? Someone who had no idea who she was? But then, how would they have found her here past the hectic party and recognized her on sight? They had to know her face to be able to call to her by name, which meant they should know who she was and all the trouble that surrounded her as of late.But when she spun to see who it was, all questions were answered.There, moving over the grass to join them in the patio before the doors, was the man who had called out to her - and accompanying a woman with an all too familiar face.Annalise."This is my fiance, Noah White," Anna announced when they came to a stop. "And this is my sister, Elizabeth Rokley. I'm glad I saw you when you ran out here. I didn't want to miss my own sister! You've come so

All that fluff about how she had been so excited to elope with Matthew Catii was lying nonsense, and why Anna was going to such lengths to make up obvious bullshit right to her face was a mystery, but she could at least answer her final question. Not with the truth, of course, since even if Beth wanted to reveal it, no one would believe her for a fraction of a second. But she could give an answer that would shut Anna up for the time being and get her off her case. If that was the best she could do for now, she would take it.Anna guided her to the hedge garden with carefully shorn walls of greenery as Beth considered how to answer. It was suspiciously thoughtful of her to give them privacy now instead of forcing the conversation to continue where the occupants of the house past the open rear doors might hear. But really, suspiciously thoughtful indeed. Beth squinted, wondering if Annalise had become emboldened even more quickly in this life than the one before and had planned some k
Alpha King's Unmated Sister-in-law Chapter 37
Noah stared at Daniel, unable to respond to the biting criticism. It was probably the first time anyone from a 'lesser' nation had dared speak to him like that, even if it was an Alpha who did it. He was still an influential Beta of a powerful Gold Nation pack, and to be chastised in public by someone of the now-weak Heether pack of Silver Nation, even if it was the heir-apparent, had forced him into an incredulous and embarrassed silence. Everyone was still around and listening in while pretending not to, after all. They had probably heard every word.It had been gratifying to hear almost exactly what Beth had wanted to say but from Daniel's mouth instead. There was something particularly satisfying about someone else agreeing and speaking the same thoughts she held. But this was shaping up to end badly. They still had an audience even if the other guests were pretending not to eavesdrop from where they sat on the various benches and around fire pits. No doubt word of this would spr

They found refuge on the benches around a small fire pit no one else was occupying. They weren't distant enough from the other guests to avoid the stares from the closest ones, but at least they had peace here instead of Anna's theatrics and constant scheming."It must have been hard growing up with your sister. I didn't notice she was like this when I met her before, but it's clear now that she's really something."Beth looked to Daniel as the sparks floated up from the fire pit into the sky. So he was the one breaking the silence first. She had been trying to work up the nerve and the energy to say what she should say to him after all the misleading things Anna had said for everyone's viewing delight, but there was no need for it after all."Thank you," said Beth. "I didn't think she would go that far just to spite me when she should be busy helping host her future father-in-law's birthday. She's made an idiot out of both me and herself.""Not you. No one with a brain would have fal

Deja vu. Or was it? The question sent a chill of grim awareness down Beth's spine, but she had never been asked the question before. So maybe it wasn't deja vu so much as the dread of inevitability.In the other life, Daniel Heether and Matthew Catii had worked together for a time too, until it devolved into a mess of bloodshed and carnage that no one could stop once it gained momentum.Was this something that had to pass no matter what? Was Beth powerless to stop it? She had all the knowledge of the future but every time she tried to steer the present away from what it would become, it only reared up harder."Why do you want to work with Matthew Catii?" she asked casually, affecting general skepticism to cover over the instant bristling that raised her every hair. "I thought you didn't get along with him. If he's already riding your nerves as just acquaintances, you might have a hard time tolerating him when you're working more closely together.""I don't like him, but I was hoping I
Alpha King's Unmated Sister-in-law Chapter 40
Things should have been more awkward between them after that conversation loaded with lies, half-lies, and reluctant truths, but somehow, Beth thought the distance between Daniel and herself shrank dangerously as they stood next to each other, breathing in the cool spring night. And was it her imagination, or did he think the same way? He smiled at her even more easily now, and his eyes remained fixed on her for longer than before whenever she spoke. They never strayed, and neither did hers. Or maybe that was just the good atmosphere that settled around them from the party and the general merriness. Now that Anna and her theatrical mess-making had made themselves scarce, it was...peaceful. Nice.They filed back inside along with the other guests on the rear lawn when an announcement went out that Noah's father, Orion White, would soon be making his appearance now that the time was approaching. Custom demanded that everyone invited congratulate him personally, so getting in line firs
Alpha King's Unmated Sister-in-law Chapter 41
Everyone assembled in the grand dome of the main hall, watching on and chattering in good spirits as they applauded the older man presently making his way down the magnificent central steps leading down toward the center of the hall. Orion White took his time with the assistance of his son and a Delta attendant, limping and leaning heavily on one side but otherwise seeming in positive spirits. Tired, though, Beth noted with a shrewd eye. Orion White had been injured long ago, and rumor said he suffered from mild gout or something else that afflicted his leg, but he had far too many white hairs and weathered lines on his face for someone who wasn't even sixty. He had been a strong Beta warrior with good genes, and those from the prosperous Gold Nation were supposed to enjoy the fruits of longevity more than werewolves of the other three nations. Yet, he looked a decade older than he was and couldn't even make it down the steps on his own."Happy birthday, Orion White!" everyone shou
Alpha King's Unmated Sister-in-law Chapter 42
The Alpha King of Iron Nation was now the second most powerful leader out of the four werewolf nations. That used to be Alpha Mal of the Heether pack, but after the terrible tragedy that had befallen them, that crown now fell heavily upon Alpha William's head.Maybe too heavily. Beth abandoned Daniel and Jim to wade through the crowd that parted for her - she was a female Alpha, after all, even if she needed to disguise that she knew perfectly well how to exploit her aura thanks to a decade of experience she shouldn't have. The closer she came to her father, the more clearly she saw the evidence of age and stress lining his face. He didn't appear as worn down and fragile as the broken Alpha Mal of the Heether pack did, but it was all too obvious he had gone through his own share of tribulations in the past few months.Her poor father. Luna Dahlia had cried her heart out begging her daughter to come home, showing her weakness with great fanfare to try to change Beth's mind, but her fa
