“I wasn’t sure what kind you’d prefer, so I got you the same one I use,” Angelina said, passing me the brand-new phone. I stared at it, stunned. I’d only asked her yesterday.

“Thank you so much.” I said reaching for my purse. “How much do I owe you?”

“Come on, Tessa, it’s nothing.”

“You’ve done enough for me; I’m paying, besides, I do have some cash on me.”

“You don’t have to pay me. I bought it with Wraith’s card. He gave me one in case you ever needed anything, so technically, I’m not the one you owe.”

Of course, this was something Wraith could do. As grateful as I was that he was making sure I lacked nothing, I wasn’t used to this. All my life, I paid my own bills and provided for myself, and so this was a bit… overwhelming.

When Angelena was gone. I returned to my room and shut the door behind me.

I searched the drawers for the card Logan had given me, and I finally found it. I took a moment studying the numbers and memorizing them, before ripping the paper into shreds and disposi

  • The Beta and The Lost Heiress   Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Seven

    REX’S POVLogan had brought me to the middle of the woods. I had no idea where I was, but that was the least of my worries.I dug my fingers into the bullet wound, teeth gritting as I pulled it out. The silver seared my flesh, and I flung it aside.It would have taken more than a few minutes to heal—but it was a full moon, and my wolf was stronger on full moons. I watched the wound close, leaving only a scar.I had underestimated Wraith. I had counted on his emotions getting in the way, and planned to use that against him. I had calculated wrongly. But there was something strange about how it all played out. It was almost as if he’d seen it coming before I even made the move. I’d lost the element of surpriseThe silent footsteps notified me that I wasn’t alone. Wraith walked into view.“If I’d known how good Stormborn’s skills were, I’d have hunted him down and killed him myself.” I said truthfully. Logan’s abilities could come in handy, but I saw beyond its usefulness. I saw how

  • The Beta and The Lost Heiress   Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Six

    TESSA’S POVWraith had challenged Rex. Despite the fear rising in my chest, part of me was still filled with respect—respect for Wraith and what he had done.I’d seen him in many lights, but this part of him was… different.Logan had left with Wraith, and now I held Falcone at gunpoint.Inside, my heart swelled with pride. Wraith believed in me enough to do this. He didn’t treat me like a weakling; he made me part of his fight.“How the tables have turned,” Falcone breathed. A strained, uneven laugh escaped him. “I could have sworn it was all going according to plan—could have sworn that there was no way things could go wrong… but I guess I thought wrong.”“Stop talking.” I warned.“We might have started on the wrong footing—”I shot.I’d aimed for his head but missed and the bullet grazed his arm instead.He let out a string of curses.“Your fate is in my hands now, and so perhaps you should shut the fuck up!”Just then, Logan reappeared, surrounded by a mist of smoke, his gaze snapp

  • The Beta and The Lost Heiress   Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Five—*Two Sides of The Coin*

    WRAITH’S POVI aimed the gun at Rex as I rose to my feet. I didn’t trust him—not with that weapon.“You didn’t mention bringing the Fortifier. I take it that’s why you requested the manufacturers’ names, you wanted the weapon for yourself.”“Would you rather I let you continue with the brawl? This way is safer, and quicker.”My eyes drifted to Falcone, drenched in sweat, his breathing labored, yet somehow still conscious.The plan had been to face Falcone together, but Rex had disappeared after the bomb went off. I had the idea he was letting us fight it out, waiting for the moment he could swoop in and take us both out and be done with it.“I don’t trust you with that weapon.” I stated.“How fast the night changes, eh?” Rex said before tossing the weapon to the ground and kicking it to the furthest part of the room. “Now you’re the one with the weapon. I told you I’d help, and I intend to. I’ll handle Falcone, go get your girl.”I lowered the gun and turned to Tessa.“Wraith,” she w

    He’d branded me, like I was some animal.I had expected this; I knew just how inhumane Falcone was, and yet, the reality was even scarier.At some point, Bree had given up pounding against the door; now her silent cries were all that could be heard.“If I were you,” Falcone said, “I’d stop hoping. I see it in your eyes—you’re still clinging to an illusion. Down here, I choose whether you live or die. Your fate is in my hands, I’m the only thing you should believe in.”“You do not scare me, Falcone; none of your threats do.”“Perhaps you’ve lived so long with the wolves, you’ve forgotten your own true identity.”“I am Tessa Valemont. Mate to Beta Wraith. I know exactly who I am. But you… tell me, Falcone—who are you? You were marked as dead, stripped of your own name. Now you’re nobody.”“A human with a strong spirit. I can finally see what the Beta saw in you. This might turn out to be more fun than I anticipated.”“Go to hell.”“I’m sure there’s a section already designed for me ther

  • The Beta and The Lost Heiress   Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Three

    TESSA’S POVI didn’t know how much time had passed—hours? Maybe even a day?The only proof I had to tell the time gone by was my growling stomach.The metal door groaned, and a small compartment near the bottom opened. A tray of food was pushed inside before the panel slammed shut.Bree stood, fetched the tray from the door, and returned.My mouth watered from the aroma. There wasn’t much on the tray, just two plates of chicken soup and two plastic party-cups filled with water.“He never brings me food like this. It’s always bread and water—always.” Bree said. “I… don’t think we should eat this; it might be poisoned.”“I don’t think Falcone wants us dead just yet, Bree.” I reminded her, and her eyes flashed with fear. Of course she’d brushed off Falcone’s words earlier, but I knew she still thought about it.Bree was right to be cautious, the food might indeed be drugged, but staying hungry would likely give the same result. “We’ll need our strength if we are going to leave this plac

    JAKE’S POVI rarely left my wing. Most of my time was spent lost in thought; the rest was spent driving around the city in search of Angelina.Wraith had told me not to make a move, that he’d handle it, but what if something had happened?And then there was the thought I kept shoving aside—the possibility that she was already dead.I caught the faint sound of footsteps and turned to see Natasha standing by my door.“I knocked, but there was no response.” She explained, before walking in. A flicker of pity passed through her eyes. I wonder what exactly she saw—perhaps it was the lifeless man I imagined I looked like.“The soldiers reported an intruder; he’ll be crossing the pack boundaries shortly.We should go find out who this person is and what they want.”“You should go. I have some things to attend to.”“Like what? Taking another drive round the fucking city? We both know you wouldn’t find her in any of those houses.” “At least it’s better than sitting in here doing nothing!”“Yo
