The Beta's Reborn Human Mate

It was real. This shadowy being with thick limbs and red eyes. I shoved the back door open, but my legs gave out the second I put my weight on them. I turned on my arse, crawling backwards with my fingers digging into the earth. My eyes had returned to normal when I checked the driver-side mirror while falling on the ground.The creature held Hank high and ripped his heart out. My hand covered my mouth, trapping my cry of fear. A tear rolled down my cheeks in memory of Hank. He had worked for me for years. Now he was gone. "I will kill you for doing that to him!" I screamed while seeing red. "He was my friend, you monster!" The creature stomped its large foot on the ground, and the force lifted me off it and threw me down back again. Alarmed, I started crawling away faster, forgoing my borrowed confidence."No! Please stop—" I struggled to get on my feet, but it swiped me up from the ground and into its giant palms like I was as tiny as an ant. In comparison, I was like an ant, an

I froze on the stage, fiddling with my fingernails. Now, the world would find out the truth that something was wrong with me. Cage would also be discovered, and only I would pay for it. The gasps rose. I feared them. My feet fell back a step, and just when I was about to crumble, broad shoulders stepped in the gap and pulled me in. It was him. Cage. My face was currently buried in his chest, but if I didn't hate him so much for making me give up my life's legacy, I would have snuggled closer to inhale all of him. The enemy smelled good. Too good. "What are you doing here?" I croaked. "A bodyguard must protect his owner at all costs." His hand patted down my hair. The other one slipped around my waist, pulling me close. If we weren't faking this to save ourselves, I would have been convinced. The reporters would forget the past minute and the sudden colour of my eyes. They had seen a bigger dirt to gossip about. Blue Meyer and a man who's not Noah. It was the news of the decad

I frowned at my surroundings when I couldn't see him anywhere. My heart had started beating too fast because I knew I couldn't afford to be left alone for even second. The car had been parked at a cliff. He had abandoned me in the middle of nowhere, so that those demons can feast on me. I could feel my breaths coming out shorter. What if the demons were right outside the door, waiting for me to take the first step outside and then they'd attack? I was shit scared. I had never been this scared or alone in my life and I had been lonely all my life, but that was an understatement compared to this. With shaky hands, I pushed the door open and stepped out. It was a windy night. The wind blew locks of my hair over my forehead and eyes. I kept pulling them away, only realizing he had covered me with a throw blanket while I was asleep. I limped over to the edge when I didn't see any signs of danger. A part of me told me they would come. If I could just jump over now and save myself the pai

A corner of his mouth curved up as he watched me, and my very brave, or depending on the outcome, stupid, attempt at seducing him. I wondered if he'd let me seduce him. The low words rumbling from his chest. “You're not mine, not in this life. I shouldn't want you so much. And yet I can't seem to help myself.” I didn't care if he was saying yet another one of his weird ass witch bullshit. I wanted him, and I wanted him now. I tried to take the lead again, rubbing against him, but he did something that shocked me into stillness. He slid his large hand to the back of my neck, lowered his head to smell me, running his nose from my collarbone along my neck, and stopping just behind my ear. My toes curled, and I forgot all about the pain in my foot where I'd hurt my ankle and torn open the toe of my skin. The intimacy of such a personal action sent a powerful shudder through me, stimulating the tingle in my stomach and between her legs. A moan escaped from the back of my throat

CageI felt like a deer in headlights, rooted to the spot.It wasn't Raven. It wasn't Raven, I told myself repeatedly.I searched her face, my eyes hooded as I took in the sword Blue held in her hands.Her grip was loose and awkward on the hilt of the sword, and I knew instinctively that she could not fathom the real enormity of what she'd just done.She'd unsheathed the sword.She swiveled around, looking for any more shadow demons. But they had all fled.The power in Raven's sword was unfathomable. It was a spelled sword.Only Raven could fight with it, drawing out her energy and linking her soul to the sword.And she had drawn it out it."They all ran away. They've never done that before."I blinked. "Yes." I stared deep into her blue eyes, the one thing that made her different from Raven.My Raven had had amber eyes, the color of sunset. I'd often seen a reflection of me deep in those eyes as we laughed together, fought together, and made love.I rushed to her side and picked up t
