All Chapters of Revenge of the Fallen Beta: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Dane tied the laces on his running shoes and left his suite at the packhouse. Stig had been nagging him to be let out for a run, so he planned to go for a jog into the forest, then shift and let Stig loose.  He halted as he saw Cara and Lucas embracing at the bottom of the stairs, their lips moving passionately. He’d been trying to avoid Cara around the packhouse, just to put a bit of distance between them, but it seemed like she and Lucas were making good progress. They had never been this showy with their affection before, so he figured things must be going well. It still hurt a little, but he was happy for her. He cleared his throat and gave them a polite smile before passing them and continuing out of the packhouse. He jogged down the main road, but as he turn

Cara had begged Lucas not to tell the pack about her pregnancy yet, but she knew the excitement was eating away at his resolve to keep that promise. She’d never seen him so happy and her heart felt like it would burst whenever he gave her belly a gentle rub or talked to the pup growing within. As soon as the surge of happiness started to wane, the guilt took over and was crushing in its severity. The baby could be Lucas’... but it could also be Dane’s. She had sat and looked at the calendar and plotted the dates many times now and had come up empty-handed.  In the aftermath of Thomas’ death, she had hastily thrown away the birth control pills to avoid being found out, but had forgotten all about replacing them. It was a toss of the coin. Either one of them could be the father. 

Dane sighed as he glanced at the upcoming meeting in his calendar. He couldn’t think of anything he’d rather do less than have the difficult conversation that was to come.  He had agreed to the meeting with Julia’s father, Jannik, mainly because he felt terrible for what happened to her under the roof of his business. Jannik’s family were also close friends of Cara’s family, so he had extra incentive to make the situation right and put it to bed. “Jannik, good to see you. I wish I was meeting with you under better circumstances,” greeted Dane as he shook his hand. “What happened to your daughter is terrible. I will help in any way I can.” “Well, you can start by killing the arsehole who did this, to undo the ma

Dane tapped his foot impatiently as he waited for Lucas inside the warrior training hall. He yawned, thinking it was way too early on a Sunday morning to be doing this. Lucas had sent him a message the previous night saying he needed to meet with him. The hall would be undergoing renovations soon, but surely it didn’t warrant having to meet at this hour.   With no training scheduled for the day, the place was deserted and the eerie silence in the hall was adding to the boredom.   The loud click of the door echoed around the building as Lucas entered and made his way over.   “About time,” grumbled Dane.   “I didn’t know I had to be here right on the exact second,” snapped Lucas, glancing at his watch. Like Dane, he w

Today was the day. Dane had a spring in his step, and not an ounce of nervousness over what was to take place. The price he had agreed with Ivan was expensive, but worth it in Dane’s eyes. Ivan had to be good, because he couldn’t have survived as a hitman for as long as he had if he wasn’t good at what he did. He’d paid a deposit out of his own funds, but would need to take out his share of the profits being held in the business account to pay for the rest once the job was done. It was a lot of money, but when he thought about what he was buying, it seemed like the best deal he’d ever made.  Lucas would be gone, he would become Alpha and reign with Cara and their pup. Money well spent, indeed.
