“You seem to be expecting someone else.” Logan noted, with a smile tugging at his lips. He was dressed in a black silk shirt, the top two buttons left casually open, paired with dark tailored pants; a silver earring on one ear, and a thin chain around his neck.

“What are you doing here?” I asked, my eyes searching the garden, hoping to spot soldiers or—anyone. Unfortunately, there was not a single person in sight. I could almost hear my own heartbeat, pounding hard in my chest.

“I’m here to talk.”

“How did you get in here?” I questioned.

“I can assure you, I don’t mean any harm.”

“I’m sorry, but I don’t believe you.” I said, slowly backing away.

“Tessa, there are guards parading this whole place; we might be alone, but drawing their attention won’t require much. I would be a fool to attack you here. I’m here to talk, and I only ask that you listen.”

“The last time I saw you, you were pointing a gun at Wraith…"

“I was only doing what was expected of me; I wasn’t planning on pulling the

  • The Beta and The Lost Heiress   Chapter Sixty

    I couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was about to go very wrong.I pulled on a pair of jeans and a black shirt, then threw my hair into a quick bun. I was ready even before Angelina walked in. She was dressed in black ripped jeans and a leather jacket. After giving my outfit a once-over, she disappeared into my closet and returned with a jacket similar to hers.“Put this on.” She said, tossing it to me. I caught it and quickly shrugged it on; she finally nodded. “Perfect.”I tried giving a smile, but I couldn’t muster up even a fake one. As the hours passed by, I couldn’t help but feel more unsettled by the whole idea. Everyoneelse seemed excited, though, including Angelina; that should’ve been reassuring, and yet, it wasn’t.“You have nothing to worry about, Tessa. I know you’re not used to all these, but Wraith is really good. He has faced worse opponents, and yet he’s never been defeated.”“But Rex said this one was a worthy opponent. Shouldn’t we be worried?”“Scar is

  • The Beta and The Lost Heiress   Chapter Fifty Nine

    Wraith had informed me that we’d be having dinner with the rest of the pack, so I dressed in a mid-length, royal blue gown. As soon as I was ready, I joined him in the living room.I couldn’t help but notice the slight tension in him and how he kept unconsciously curling and uncurling his fists. Before I could ask if he was alright, he spoke up.“Rex would be joining us for dinner, I just thought you should know,” he said, and I nodded since I didn’t have a response to that. I remembered the last time the Alpha had joined us, he’d assigned Wraith a task that ended with him getting shot.“The dress—it looks… good on you.” He said, and I realized that was the first time he had ever complimented anything about me.“Thank you. And I think you look good too—I mean, when do you not? You always look good. Not just good, actually—perfect…” I trailed off, realizing I’d said way too much. “Sorry.”He shook his head slowly before taking my hands.We walked into the dining room, hand in hand, and

    TESSA’S POVThree days had passed.I felt less sore and could finally move around freely, all thanks to whatever was the content in that bottle Wraith gave me.Earlier, Angelina had paid me a visit, curious to know every detail of how I’ve gone from crying my eyes out to moaning out Wraith’s name. One point to never forget: shut the door to avoid anyone from listening in—I hadn’t even realized how loud I’d been. When I wouldn’t give a single detail on how sex with Wraith had been except for the vague words ‘very… good,’ Angelina left disappointed, calling me a ‘buzzkill.’But the truth was that I was still trying to figure out what had happened that night and how it had even happened. Wraith didn’t go back to ignoring me as he did the past times we shared intimate moments; in fact, I noticed he had been more present these past three days, and I wanted it to mean something. Had what happened between us been ‘just sex’ Or was it more than that?I couldn’t ask him about that; I didn’t w

  • The Beta and The Lost Heiress   Chapter Fifty Seven

    WRAITH’S POVTessa lay beside me. I watched as her chest rose and fell with each breath. She had fallen asleep in my arms.I’d made a promise to myself to stay away from her, but somehow that proved impossible. I hadn’t been able to stop thinking about how tight she’d felt when I satisfied her with my fingers, how perfect she tasted when I went down on her. It was never enough though. I wanted more. And more was dangerous. That was exactly why I should’ve stayed away.Last night, everything had happened so fast, and yet I couldn’t forget. I couldn’t forget the way she moaned my name, the way she whimpered in both pain and pleasure. I couldn’t forget how bold she’d been—how she demanded what she wanted. I’d had sex before, but this felt different.I couldn’t tell if she felt the same; she had been in a vulnerable moment, maybe she wasn’t thinking clearly. Yet, none of what had happened felt wrong; on the contrary, it felt… right.Four years ago, I discovered that Tessa was my mate. I s

  • The Beta and The Lost Heiress   Chapter Fifty Six

    **Anonymous POVRachel Valemont had given up ‘trying’ a long time ago. She’d settled into the reality that she would never be a good mother to her daughter, and at some point, she had simply stopped trying. What was the need? At the end she only got Tessa’s hopes up, only to disappoint her.“I don’t want to remember how much of a failure you’ve been,” Tessa had told her. And the truth was, Rachel had earned those words—every harsh, brutal thing thrown at her was well deserved. Still, it had surprised her to hear those words from her daughter. Maybe because the loving daughter she’d known would never say that to her face. Tessa was changing, or maybe she’d just finally had enough.She could have stayed back; she could have stayed with her daughter, but she didn’t, and the moment she walked out of that door, she knew there was no turning back. It wasn’t going to be like the other times she would beg and plead for forgiveness, and Tessa, ever the loving daughter, would let her back into

  • The Beta and The Lost Heiress   Chapter Fifty Five

    If I had any tears left to shed, I would’ve drowned in them. But now, I just sat there—numb, yet strangely lighter.“She was not always like this, you know. I hardly remember those times, but I know they were there. I dream about them sometimes, but that’s all they feel like—dreams, distant dreams.”“Tessa…” Wraith began, almost like he didn’t know the right words to say. He settled on the words, “I’m sorry this happened to you.”But I didn’t miss the rage—the anger flashing in his eyes. I didn’t miss his fist clenching so hard that his already bruised knuckles turned white. He wasn’t mad at me, though; it was like he was mad at himself.He stepped back, running his hands through his hair.I could see how hard he was trying—trying to comfort me, but he just didn’t know how.I closed the distance between us and gently wrapped my hands around his, still clenched into fists. I didn’t think he even realized they were. But now, he slowly uncurled them, flexing his fingers. My hands trailed
