The Missing Beta 40
I throw my pen down on the desk, no longer able to keep pretending that I’m not on edge surrounding this call. I pick up my phone, the one I use for rogue communication, and dial the burner’s number. To my surprise, it doesn’t take long for the call to be connected. There’s rustling, and then my breath hitches as her face comes into the screen. I’m tongue-tied, quite literally tongue-tied. As confused as I’ve felt all night, I truly didn’t think my call would be answered. I thought that I’d have to come up with a new plan, which would require me to go in and grab both her and the child. Seeing her face on the screen right now is muddying my thoughts in a good way. I clear my throat and focus on the screen. “So, what happened yesterday? I heard some things.” There’s a quiet that falls over us for a few beats.“I don’t know what you mean.” I quietly sigh, trying to keep my anger in check. “You know I have someone at that pack being my eyes and ears. I know you went to the cells yeste
The Missing Beta 39
~Jamorea~I was surprised when Luna Katarina came to get me out of the cells. I honestly expected that when someone came, it would be with the intention of torturing me. I never considered that I would be let go and taken to the Alpha’s office to talk.Both the Alpha and the Luna have been nothing but gracious. They truly wanted to get to know me and made me feel comfortable enough to talk about myself freely. I’ve been able to get to know them as well, and I have not been disappointed.They are kind and down-to-earth people. I don’t know their entire story, but I can see why they have a pack that’s not only loyal to them but holds them in high regard. I may not have met many pack members, but it isn’t hard to tell how they feel about their leadership just by watching them go about their daily activities.I’m terrified to answer Dominic right now. I’m scared that all of the goodwill I just gained will disappear. It isn’t like you told him anything significant.I know, Mona, but I stil
The Missing Beta 38
I let my feet lead me, and it doesn’t take long before I’m back down in the cells. The guards move as soon as they see me. They don’t ask any questions, but that’s to be expected. I’m their Luna, their Alpha’s mate. There are really no questions that they could ask. My feet don’t stop moving until I’m in front of her again. She’s lying on the cot with her front facing the wall. She looks smaller this way, looks much more fragile. I have to admit that I wasn’t being the best version of myself when I sent her down here. This is the first way I can make things right. “I’m sorry.” Her body moves at the sound of my voice, but not by much. “I was thinking as a scared parent and forgot to approach this as a Luna… a gold wolf.”“You don’t owe me that. I… I’m sorry. I came here with ill intentions.”“Did you, though?” I move closer to her cell door, still talking to her back. “Based on what you said to Dominic, you didn’t really decide to do any harm to our child or us. You may have been sent
The Missing Beta 37
~Dominic~I pace back and forth, pretty sure that I’m wearing a groove into the floor. I wouldn’t even know how to sit still if they made me. I don’t know what to do right now, and Gideon is no better. “So what is it that you want us to do about this?” My feet stop on their own, and I turn to the couch where my Alpha and Luna are sitting.Katarina is looking at me with a bored expression, and Aston looks like he’s contemplating rearranging how the world has been set up. “Are… are you joking with me right now?! You’re joking, right? You have to be playing with me right now!” Katarina sits back on the couch, looking like she wants to be anywhere but here. Aston places a hand on her leg as he puts his attention on me.“I think what Katarina is trying to say is-”“No, don’t speak for me. We have a very real threat here. What? Did he think that he would bring us this sob story and we wo-” Katarina stops abruptly, and her eyes gloss over. I’m going to take that as a win because the more she
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
The Missing Beta 35
~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
The Missing Beta 9
~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

My mom happened to be clear-headed for once, and she had Khalid with her. I guess she was taking him out for ice cream. I really think she knew what he wanted from me and allowed him to have that. I have no proof, but I can feel it in my bones. Anyway, he came after me in the house. He backed me i
