I’m not sure how long we sat in silence, but she’s the first to break it. “I never thought I’d see a Beta just sitting in front of a cell.” I feel my lip turn up, but I keep my head down. 

“Life is full of surprises. I found that out in a way that would probably be too real for most people.”

  • The Missing Beta   36

    ~Brackston~I lean back in my chair, replaying the entire conversation. I’m not embarrassed to admit that my dick was hard the entire time, and it’s still hard now. I’m not sure what it is about that girl, but I want her so badly.It wasn’t the smartest idea to have her on a video call, but I needed to appease Khan. He was making life difficult because he wanted her here with us. Seeing her just made everything harder. It made me want to throw the plan out the window, bring her back here, and bury my dick inside of her. It took everything in me to fight that instinct and let the conversation play out the way it needed to.I’ve asked my wolf about this, and he’s sure that she isn’t our fated mate. That isn’t even the point, though, because he wants her as badly as I do. I’m not sure what the future holds for us, but I am sure that she’s going to be next to me in some capacity.I was never one hung up on the mate bond. I didn’t really care to think about it, and I never thought that it

    ~Danny~My throat is tight, and my chest feels heavy. I wasn’t going to do this. I wasn’t going to tell this much of anything about myself. I wanted to get in, do this job, and get out. I didn’t want to get attached, and I didn’t want anyone attached to me. It makes leaving a lot easier that way. Just talking about my brother breaks my heart. I have no idea where he is or how he is. I only know who has him, and that makes me sick. I wish I could fix this problem that I’ve found myself in. He’s going to expect a call tomorrow. He’s going to expect me to dial my number and make my face visible on the screen. When he doesn’t hear from me, he will probably send her to me. I don’t want that, I don’t want either of them to know where I am. If he suspects that I’m in the cells, he will assume that I told. If he assumes that I told them everything, what will happen to Khalid? I can’t risk his safety for the sake of feeling sentimental because of some mate bond. I need to keep my brother sa

    I’m not sure how long we sat in silence, but she’s the first to break it. “I never thought I’d see a Beta just sitting in front of a cell.” I feel my lip turn up, but I keep my head down.“Life is full of surprises. I found that out in a way that would probably be too real for most people.”“Ain’t that the truth?” I slowly bring my head up and look at her. She looks drained and hollow. Her back is resting against the wall, and her head is pushed back, her eyes closed. There’s a weight in her voice that makes waves.“You’ve had a life of surprises?”“If you want to call it that.” I want to ask more, but I don’t want her to shut me out like she has been. “I’ve been alone a long time. I’ve been alone even before I was alone.” I sit up a bit straighter, hoping that she will tell me more. “My dad died when I was 16, ou

    ~Danny~This is not the worst place I’ve ever been, if you can believe that. I sit on the edge of the bare-bones cot in the room and look around. There’s a bucket in the corner, and I don’t even want to imagine using that. The walls are stone and have stains all over that look like they could be alive. There’s a dripping sound somewhere in the distance, making me wonder if it’s coming from a sink. I let out a sigh, wishing that I had Mona with me, even though we’ve been at odds lately. If she were able to communicate with me, it would keep me focused on something that isn’t my current situation. Before I can indulge in more self-reflection, footsteps sound beyond my cell. They get louder and closer each second, and my body tenses up. I have no idea what to expect right now or who this could be. I know if it were me….Let’s be real, if I had a pack to run and I had a traitor in my midst, there’s a lot I would do. I would probably make use of torture to make sure I get the needed inf

    ~Katarina~I’m not sure that was how things were supposed to go. What would you have me do, Hope? She’s a threat to our child, to our family. Was I supposed to ignore that and play nice?We could have at least gotten the whole story before locking her up. I sigh, knowing that Hope is right. The plan was to go to her room and talk to her. I had no intention of getting aggressive or locking her up. The moment I put my eyes on her, I just couldn’t help it. The premonition kept running through my mind, and I couldn’t ignore the emotions that came from that. I walk into the office and throw myself on the couch. I stare up at the ceiling and let out a long sigh. “Can I take it that things didn’t go well?” I don’t move from my spot, not wanting to face my mate. “Katarina?” I swallow and shift my body. I want to be comfortable, but I don’t think that’s possible under the circumstances. I feel the couch shift under me as his heat covers me completely. As soon as I feel the sparks on my arm

    ~Danny~I feel like I’ve been walking on eggshells lately, and it’s all because of that stupid phone. It isn’t the phone so much as what it represents. It’s a tie to him, to the man who sent me here to disrupt people’s lives. It’s a tie to the man who has my brother’s life in his hands, and I can’t figure out a way to make that not the case. I sigh and sit up in bed, willing myself to move. I need to make my call, and I find it’s better to do so during the day. So many people are out and about, taking care of different things. I make my calls knowing that no one will come here to bother me. I haven’t been announced to the pack yet, so I have no official capacity here. I have no duties that I have to fulfill, and I’m practically on house arrest. My mate doesn’t come to see me, so I’m pretty much left to my own devices. I swing my legs over the edge of the bed, letting my feet touch the floor. I really don’t want to do this, I really don’t want to see his face or hear his voice. Ever

    ~Unknown~My arms wrap around my body as it shivers. I swear this sleeping bag is useless. It does nothing to shield me from the elements. I wish I were in a better, more comfortable place. I wish I were with Khalid. I still don’t know how my brother is, and it’s eating me alive. I need to see him

    ~Dominic~ The past two weeks have been great, and that’s no exaggeration. Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t like Katarina, and I are best friends now. It hasn’t been that deep, that quickly. We have found an in-between that works for us, so I can’t be mad about that. I’ve spent more time with the enti

    ~Dominic~She’s been back there for a while now. I have no idea what’s going on, and I’m slightly freaking out. I’ve been pacing back and forth, and my mind is a mess. She’s my mate; my fated mate. I know that I’ve been wanting this, but I didn’t, honestly, think it would happen any time soon. As

    ~Unknown~I have no idea how long it’s been, how long I’ve been in this tent. I lost count as my hunger took over. I’ve barely been given anything to eat or drink. Brackston says that it needs to be believable. I can’t say that I have any idea what he’s talking about. I don’t even know what the su
