The Beta's Redemption のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

[Leah's POV] I stared up into the eyes of the man that I had yearned for for the past five years. I still couldn't believe that this was happening. It had to be a dream, right? "Are you sure you're ready?" He murmured, running his lips against my jaw. "Once we start, I don't plan to stop." "I'm sure." I rasped, wrapping my arms around his neck. "I've never been more sure about something in my life." My body thrummed with anticipation as his heat seeped into me. And when he began to move, I felt my very soul beginning to come alive. "Please take me." I begged, closing my eyes and bracing myself. A slow heat begins to build within me as he starts to move, crossing the path of no return, and explosions begin to erupt within me. And that was always when the alarm went off and my world of pleasure and true happiness crashed down around me. Letting out a groan, I rolled over in bed and slammed my hand against the irritating alarm clock that took away my moment of seeing him. A year

[Asher’s POV]"Then hurry up and get this over with." I hissed, as Aldina’s hands began to venture up my shirt."That’s a good boy." She beamed, flashing her extended fangs.Nodding, I closed my eyes and collapsed on the ground, waiting for her to take a spot beside me. Once she did, she brought her lips to my neck and allowed her teeth to dig deep into my skin.Letting out a hiss, I felt myself beginning to drift as her endorphins began to flow through me. Images of that night started to appear, sending torrents of emotion through me. Back then, I was so desperate to help Leah, I didn’t even think twice about what I had to do. I would give my very soul to help her be able to reverse the curse that was put on her. That was why I sought out the help of this vampiress and her mate.After searching high and low, I was given information on the two and didn’t hesitate to find them. However, I hadn’t expected that in the end I would have to make a decision that questioned all my morals. Ho

[Thia’s POV]"What did you just say?" I asked slowly, unsure of whether or not I heard correctly. "Did you just say murdered?"My mind was reeling as I tried to process that something like that was actually happening. Daniel was a strong and well weathered warrior. How could someone actually manage to kill him? Especially in his own lands!"That’s right." Antoine confirmed as Ashton remained quiet. "Mom found him this morning outside of their home.""But…how?"None of this was making sense. How was anyone able to get close enough to him to do that?"That is minor." Ashton growled, coming back to life. "They’re accusing mom of doing it since she was the only one around.""Goddess!" I gasped, lifting a hand to my mouth. "Do they have no faith in your mother?""Things have been rocky since Tristan’s death." Antoine sighed, clenching and unclenching his fists. "Dad insisted he was trying to de-escalate the situation with Tristan’s pack but...""They weren’t willing to cooperate." Ashton f

[Leah’s POV]I stumbled into the house, trying to remain quiet. Behind me, Ian kept urging me to be careful, but I wasn’t bothering to listen. I shouldn’t have drank so much, like really shouldn’t have. My head was spinning and my stomach was churning."Thia’s going to kill us." Ian sighed as I stumbled into the living room doorway. "Why did you get so drunk?"Why? That was a ridiculous question. He witnessed Asher’s indifference for himself. Wasn’t it obvious I was trying to numb the pain that I was feeling?"Have your heart broken and then ask me that." I grumbled, trying to straighten up. "Who says I haven’t?" Ian countered. "Now, let's get you upstairs before...""Too late!" Thia called from the living room. "Get in here, NOW!""Shit," Ian hissed. "Busted.""So what?" I huffed. "She isn’t my mother, and I’m an adult."Shaking Ian’s supportive arm from my waist, I squared my shoulders and stomped into the living room to find Thia sitting on the couch waiting."Where have you been?

[Asher's POV]"Let me go!" I growled, grabbing Ashton's hand. "Leah is still in there!"As I fought, I could feel a primal, animalistic need growing within me. It was dark, and I knew if I gave in, I would be taking another step towards the path I was trying so desperately to avoid. However, my mate was in danger, and there was no fucking way I was going to just give up that easily."LET GO!"A wall of light exploded from me as the words left my lips, sending Ashton stumbling backwards with a look of shock in his eyes."What the hell?" He growled, but I was already turning my attention to the rubble in front of me that used to be a home."Stay back." I hissed, hoping that Ashton wouldn’t question me. "Don’t come any fucking closer."Focusing on my newfound energy, I braced myself as I lifted my hands and sent a blast of air crashing towards the debris. In an instant, the broken planks and insulation lifted into the air, leaving the area they once laid completely bare. And sitting in t
