The Beta’s Unwilling Bride Chapter 100
Tessa POVThe next day, I walk outside to clear my head. The garden is quiet, the air cool, the early morning sun barely rising. I’m tired from everything, Selene’s threat, the fear settling deep in my bones, the way Jaxon has vanished from my life like smoke. My wolf is restless, pacing inside me.I take a slow breath and stop near the roses.“Maybe today will be peaceful,” I whisper.But the moment I turn, a strong hand clamps over my nose and mouth. A sharp, sweet smell invades my lungs. I struggle, nails digging into skin, kicking back, but the grip only tightens.My vision blurs.My body weakens.The last thing I hear is a deep male voice saying, “Don’t let her fall.”Darkness swallows me.When I open my eyes again, I’m lying on a cold concrete floor. My head throbs. My stomach twists in pain. I blink until two shapes sharpen into two men standing over me, tall, rugged, dressed in black. Their faces are familiar but not enough to name.I push myself up.“W-Who are you?” My voice

Tessa POVWe talk for another hour, her words planting seeds of doubt—and hope. By the time I hang up, the sun has set, stars twinkling outside the window. I can’t stay here, wallowing. I need answers. Grabbing my keys, I head downstairs. Lila’s in the living room, dusting. “Luna? Going out?”“Just for a drive,” I say, not meeting her eyes. “To clear my head.”The night air is cool as I slide into my car, the engine purring to life. I don’t have a destination, but my instincts pull me toward the old pack borders, where Alaric’s territory begins. Lititi urges me on, excited. Maybe it’s reckless, but sitting idle isn’t an option anymore.The drive takes me through winding forest roads, moonlight filtering through the trees. Memories flood back—stolen moments with Alaric, before everything went wrong. His laugh, deep and genuine. The way he’d hold me, like I was precious. Jaxon had been passionate, but Alaric… he was home to me. I pull over at a lookout point, the city lights twinkling
The Beta’s Unwilling Bride Chapter 98
Tessa POVThe words hit me like a slap from an invisible hand. Vacation? Jaxon and Amanda on vacation? While I’m here, fresh out of the hospital, my body still weak from the fainting earlier, my mind reeling from the fear and hurt that cuts my heart strings at the news. Lila’s eyes dart away from mine, her hands twisting in her apron as if she wishes she could take back what she just said. The kitchen smells of baking bread, warm, comforting but it does nothing to ease the chill settling in my bones.“What do you mean, vacation?” I ask, my voice sharper than I intend. Lititi stirs inside me, her wolf senses picking up on the unease radiating from the maid. “When did they leave? Where?”Lila swallows hard, glancing toward the hallway as if afraid someone might overhear. “This morning, Luna. Right after the Alpha got the call from the hospital saying you’d be okay. He… he said it was a last-minute thing. For Amanda’s health, you know? The stress of the pack and all. They’re at the beac

Tessa POVWhen I open my eyes again, the world is sterile white—hospital lights buzzing overhead, the smell of antiseptic filled in my nose. I’m in a bed, sheets tucked tight around me, an IV drip in my arm. Alone. My head throbs, and I blink against the brightness, trying to piece together what happened.The door swings open, and a nurse bustles in, her scrubs rustling. She’s middle-aged, with kind eyes and a clipboard in hand. “Thank the moon goddess, you’ve regained consciousness,” she says, smiling as she checks the monitor beside me. “How are you feeling, dear?”I swallow, my throat dry. “What… how long was I out?”“About twelve hours,” she replies, adjusting the IV. “You gave us a scare. Fainted right at home. Your pulse was high. I’m glad you look okay now.”Jaxon. “Where is he?” I ask, glancing around the empty room. No flowers, no chair pulled up beside me. Just beeps and silence.The nurse hesitates, her smile fading a bit. “He left after he brought you in with a lady—a preg
The Beta’s Unwilling Bride Chapter 96
Tessa’s POVThe day had just begun when I got a notification on my phone from a strange number. The soft chime cuts through the quiet of my room, pulling me out of the fog I’ve been in all morning. I glance at the screen, my fingers hesitating for a second before I swipe it open. It’s a message with no text, just a photo attachment. I tap it, and the image loads slowly.And what I saw only made my day worse. There they are, Selene and Alaric. She’s leaning into him, her face lit up with a smile that looks too real, too happy. He’s got his arm around her waist, his expression as unreadable as ever, but there’s something in the way he holds her. Protective. Possessive. My stomach twists, and inside me, Lititi growls low and fierce, the jealousy ripping through us both like claws.Did she send me this photo or Alaric did? Or some stranger. I can’t stop staring. The photo’s blurry around the edges, probably taken from a distance, but it’s clear enough to hurt. Alaric’s gray eyes stare

Selene’s POV He carries me across the room with that same unhurried calm. His body is all heat and steadiness pressed against mine. I can feel the strength coiled under his control, the power that makes everyone else in the pack lower their eyes when he passes.“Put me down,” I whisper, half laughing, half trembling.He looks down at me, face unreadable. “You never listen.”“I do. Sometimes.”He sets me on the edge of the bed. The mattress dips under his weight when he sits beside me. For a moment, neither of us speaks. The air feels heavy, charged with all the words we never said.Outside, I hear the distant howl of a wolf, someone on border patrol. The sound fades into the night, leaving only the quiet sounds of crickets and our breathing.I reach out and trace the line of his jaw with my fingertips. “When you left, I thought I’d lost you forever.”“You didn’t,” he says simply.“I almost did,” I murmur. “You were so far gone, Alaric. I could see it in your eyes every day. It was li

Alaric’s POVI can’t sleep. My room feels like a cage as I pace the room. My wolf claws at my mind, restless, urging me toward Tessa. Her scent, her stubborn fire pull at me, a tether I can’t ignore. I lay back onto the bed but it’s no use. I need her beside me. My wolf craves her, and for once, I

Tessa’s POVThe next morning, I wake restless, my body heavy from last night’s encounter with Alaric. His words echo in my mind like a relentless drum: “You’re a risk. To the pack. To me.” The coldness in his voice, the way his eyes held mine without any warmth, cuts deeper than I want to admit. Ma

Alaric’s POVI read the letter from the elders of my pack twice before setting it down. The words stare back at me, written in that formal script they always use for these things. “Supreme Alpha Alaric,” it starts, “as per the ancient traditions of our pack, passed down through generations, an alp
