Fate of the Banished Beta

TriciaTonight is a full moon. Time for hunting. Since I was young, my parents taught me everything I needed to learn, from hunting to defending myself against the enemies. Of course, they expected so much from me. Even Alpha William knows my impressive records for hunting.I belong to the most savage pack, the Hunter of Hunters, aka the Bone-Reavers. Everyone fears us. They bow their heads when our pack passes by. Our alpha doesn't show mercy to anyone who refuses to bow their heads. He cut them off. Call it cruel, but this is what makes us famous and respected, and because of this, our pack thrives.“Behold! One of the most amazing hunters of our pack: Tricia Spruce. It's your time to shine!” James announces at the rostrum.I looked at my parents; they are both betas of the pack, and so am I. They showed a proud smile, and I returned it. I promise I'd never disappoint them.Walking towards the platform, I couldn't understand why my heart was pounding in my chest as if it were going

“It seems like you've run out of luck, Tricia,” Gamma Leonardo said. “If William didn't kill you, then don't expect me to let you escape. After everything you and your family did to me and to the gammas, don't expect any mercy from me.”Gamma Leonardo completely transformed into a beast and leaped towards me. I covered my eyes. If this is my end, I hope my parents will forgive me.My heart was pounding in my chest as I waited for my throat to get cut, but instead, I heard Leonardo growl in pain. Slowly, I removed my hands from my eyes and saw a man in a black robe kicking him in the stomach.“Do... Don't kill me,” Gamma Leonardo begged.But the man didn't seem to hear him. He bit Leonardo’s neck and sucked his blood. Then he looked at me with eyes as red as magma. His bloody fangs were sticking out of his mouth. In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of me.I didn't have the courage to beg him not to kill me. I know my life is meaningless anyway. I have no one now. My parents

I guess they are right. I did not expect it would be this hard to lie to someone you find attractive, especially when he looks into my eyes. I feel like he is undressing me. All the facade and walls I have put around me crumbled down, and I lay there helplessly naked.Come on, Tricia. You can't let a stranger do that to you. You're a beta; you should have the power to resist, especially with a human, and yet... Yet I felt so vulnerable no matter how much I reminded myself."The truth is, I came from the world of werewolves. I've done something unforgivable, and they banished me," I said, giving up all my inhibitions. I don't care if he would laugh or make fun of me anymore. I have nothing to lose anyway.Aaron didn't say anything but looked into my eyes, as if trying to find any signs of lies. "You don't seem to be lying," he said, still holding my eyes. "And you look pretty despite what you're wearing."Wait. Did he just compliment or insult me? I looked at my arms. I'm wearing this

Hellen was right. I know nothing about how she felt. Also, my parents did the same. Even though I've disappointed them, they still think about my safety. They did everything they could to save me.After eating our food, Hellen and I went back home. On our way, I've been thinking about what she asked me. I don't really know if I can do it, but I think it's worth a try. I can not only earn money to support myself but also experience how it is to be human.I sighed as I lay down on my bed. Looking at my palms, I remembered what I did to Luna Asfara. I don't know how I could kill her. I've never done such a thing before. Something must be wrong with my wolf. All I know is that it's dangerous to transform, for I might not be able to control myself again. I don't want to hurt innocent people.I held the pendant that my mother gave me before I left. It made me remember the memories I had with my parents when I was young. How time flies by. One moment we were happy together, then in just a bl

I lost control over myself again. My body ran and leaped towards Aaron. I'm seeing him from a bloody lens. He's dangerous, like how I saw Luna Asfara before I killed her. I needed to stop myself before I could make the same mistake again, but I felt so powerless over my wolf. I don't want to see Aaron die in my own hands, but I can't even close my eyes.Even though we've just met, Aaron is the first man who made me feel this way. It is as though I've found home after being banished from the pack. I can be who I am around him. He might not be perfect and acts like a kid sometimes, but I like him for who he is, and I never thought I'd be the reason for his death.Thoughts stopped racing in my head when my wolf jumped above Aaron and attacked those wolves who were trying to kill Nathan. Fiercely, my claws scratched and threw them away one by one while growling until they all ran away and escaped.Then I turned towards Aaron. The blood from my vision is already gone, as if there's no long
