“Before we get there, there are a few things you need to know,” Wraith said. “Falcone Callister had two sons: George Callister—the older—and Rafaele, the younger. Logan Stormborn is Falcone’s bastard son.”

“Stormborn?” I asked.

“Yes. He might be Falcone’s son, but the man didn’t think he deserved the family name. He didn’t want a half-blood fighting for power over his legitimate sons.”

Despite myself, I felt a small ache for whoever this man was. Imagine being brought into this world—only to be cast aside for just that.

“You’ve met Diana, George, and Rafaele when you were captured.”

I remembered Diana, the one who made the threats; a shiver still passed over me at the memory.

“Yes, I have.”

“Good. You will have to stay as far away from them as possible. They are dangerous and wouldn’t think twice before putting a bullet in your head.”

I nodded.

“One last thing. When we get there, I’ll be the one doing the talking.”

Wraith brought forth a blindfold. “Put this on.”

  • The Beta and The Lost Heiress   Chapter Eighty Three

    REX’S POVI sat on a stool before the canvas. I rarely ever painted, and the last time I did… she was my muse.My thoughts returned back to her. For the past weeks, I’d been trying hard to keep her away from my thoughts, but today, I wouldn’t have torture myself trying to do that.I let memories of her flood into my mind. Every smile, every laugh, every expression—I thought about the softness of her hair, the curve of her breasts, and how her lips parted when I was inside her. I thought about her happiness, her sadness, and then her anger.I picked up the paintbrush, and I began painting. In my imagination she was still here, right in front of me, with a flirty smile on her face. I lost track of time as I painted, and finally I was done.I put down the paintbrush and wiped my paint-covered hands on a piece of rag.Perfect.This was my best work yet. I’d manage to capture a moment on canvas.There was a knock on the door right before Richard walked into the studio.“Alpha.” He called,

  • The Beta and The Lost Heiress   Chapter Eighty Two

    WRAITH’S POVI could feel the excitement buzzing in the air. It was a full moon, and that meant werewolves who just got of age were expected to make their first shift. Full moons were, to werewolves, the best part of the month.“It’s going to hurt, isn’t it?” Tessa questioned.“For a moment, yes, but after that…” I trailed off, the feeling of being in one’s wolf form couldn’t be put into words. In that form there were no restrictions, just pure freedom and power. It felt like a kind of high, one many would love to remain in for the rest of their lives, if they could.I’d once been a new shifter, and just like many other werewolves, I felt that high, but unlike them, I could remain in that form if I chose to and so I had to train myself on how to let go. “After that?” she questioned.“It’s… blissful.”“Really?”“Yes.”“But what if I don’t shift? What if my wolf isn’t strong enough? What if—”“If you don’t shift, it’s completely fine. That doesn’t make you any less, I promise.”Finally

    I stood by the door to my mother’s apartment, fidgeting. How hard could it be to reach out and knock? I took a deep breath, and then I lifted my hand to do exactly that, but at the same moment, the door swung open.Standing before me was my mom and… a man.After the talk I had with Wraith, I decided he was right and perhaps I’d been a little too rash. But now, I couldn’t help but wonder if my coming was a mistake.“Tessa!” My mother called, clearly surprised to see me; from her red puffy eyes, I could tell she’d been crying.“Mom. I was just… passing by.”“Oh,” she said, quickly hiding her disappointment. She turned to the man by her side. “This is Derek. Derek, Tessa, my daughter.” So, this was him.The man’s gaze met mine, and I couldn’t help but notice that he was indeed nothing like any of those men my mother brought home in the past. For one, his breath didn’t reek of alcohol; secondly, he looked… responsible.“Mom, can I talk to you alone for a moment?”“Yeah, of course. Umm,

    TESSA’S POV “Luna,” a pack member called as she walked up to me. I think her name was Stela.“Stela, right?”“Oh my god, you actually know my name. I just wanted to say that you look really good today.”And yes, the pack members had been overly nice since the fight against Aaron. A lot has changed since then, actually. For one, I was a werewolf. Yes, I was yet to make a first full shift, but Wraith believed that the chances I’d be able to by the next full moon were pretty high.“Thank you, and I love your braids,” I complimented. “My sister made them. I always tell her how good she is at it, I guess now she would believe me.”“If you’d excuse me, I need to find Angelina.”“I actually spotted her heading to the pool; she might still be there.”“Thank you, Stela.”“My pleasure.”With that, we split ways.As I walked by pack members, they all bowed in acknowledgement. Well, it would take some time to get used to this.A smile stretched on my face as I made my way to the pool, but th

  • The Beta and The Lost Heiress   Chapter Seventy Nine

    LOGAN’S POV“Logan?” my mother called, walking out of her apartment. “How long have you been out here?”“A while.”“Why didn’t you come in?”“I… wasn’t ready.” I could feel her gaze on me, searching me. After a long moment of silence, she walked down her front steps and joined me on the porch, where I’d been seated for the past two hours.“Are you alright?”“No. I’m not.” I said, Because there was no point in lying or pretending that I was.“What happened?”“Why do you think I’d want to talk to you about it?”“I don’t know, maybe because you’ve been sitting on my porch for gods know how long, or perhaps it’s the fact that seeing you like this breaks my heart and I want to know how I can be of any help.”“I need to ask you a question. How did it happen, you and Falcone—how did it happen?”I’d never asked her, and neither had she offered to tell, but for some reason, I needed to know now.“How did it happen?” she repeated. “In truth, I do not know. I don’t know how I ended up his mistr

    WRAITH’S POVI sprinted into the Healing ward. “Where is she?” I questioned Helen—one of our pack healers."The Luna had been transferred to the critical care unit—"That’s all the answer I needed and now I sprinted for the CCU.Elizabeth was making her way out of one of the rooms, her gloved hands covered in blood. And from the scent, I could tell whose it was.“Alpha, I don’t think you should go in there—”I stepped past her, making my way into the ward Tessa had been transferred to. Healers swarmed the room, all doing their best to keep her breathing. It seemed nothing was working.“Leave us, all of you.”“But Alpha—”“Leave.”One after the other, they all walked out of the room, leaving me alone with her.Tessa’s heartbeat was so silent, I could have missed it, even in the silent room.I walked to the operating table she’d been placed on, noticing the stitches on her abdomen. Aaron Sylas had stabbed her thrice and left her in a pool of her own blood. If the bastard were still ali
