All Chapters of Being Beta Elijah's Mate: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

When her friend worked on her injury, sewing up where the wound is deep and bandaging it later on, Ashlyn mind-linked the pack members to attain the information.Then that familiar scent overwhelmed her senses, getting her to raise her head. Her helplessly concerned self already inquired about his condition early, and she was glad upon learning he had barely any harm.Seeing him right now made the statement more true. Amongst the bleak and gloomy scene, he stood out due to his neat appearance. Not even a hair of his was out of place as he maintained his usual composure.His eyes met with hers, almost drawing her into trance before her self-control made her hold herself back. He walked over to her.He then scrutinized her from top to bottom before commenting, "It has been hard on you, Ashlyn."A smile formed on his face.Instead of feeling the friendly intent that smile conveyed, Ashlyn took it as being mocked and retorted, "Small wounds. Leah is making a scene out of it. Seeing you fi

The comforting presence almost lulled her to sleep, giving herself in his embrace, when the reality came to her. Since her strength couldn't measure up to his, she opened her mouth, digging her fangs into his arm.She hoped the pain from it would get him to let go of her. But that didn't even make him flinch even when the blood flowed out of it. When, against her instincts, she was about to tear off his flesh, he reacted by pushing her down on the couch swiftly. As she laid on the cushion, he positioned himself to be on top of her.He grabbed her hands and pressed his leg down on hers, trying to reduce her thrashing around. Ignoring the sparks ignited, she glowered at him."I am already mad enough," he said, "yet you keep challenging me.""Fucking let go of me, bastard," she stated, "I have to get to work. I have no time to waste on this nonsense."He smiled at her before extending his hand to the table, and in a matter of seconds, she felt a needle piercing through her skin. Her ey

Once she did that, the little girl laughed heartily, and Ashlyn stood up straight. Claire then stepped forward."I heard from Elijah," Claire started. A friendly smile played on her face.Claire was Elijah's mother, making her the mate of former Beta. Growing up, she had been close with Claire due to her friendship with Elijah. But when that friendship came to an end, so did the relationship between Claire and her became weak. Nevertheless, this did nothing to change the respect she had towards the woman.She slowly said, "I apologize."Claire shook her head and voiced out, "You must have had your reasons, dear, but please try to accept my son. I know he has a lot of faults and hurt you. However, isn't it time to put the past back? He has been wanting to meet his mate for the longest time."Ashlyn knew that rather Elijah, it was his parents who wanted to see him settle down for the longest once he found his partner for life. That's why, withholding this information from them made her

The signs of hurt and anger on his face made her heart soften for split of a second, making her feel as though she was throwing a tantrum for no good reason.But her expression hardened, recalling what she had to endure for all these years. On top of that, he hated and felt disgusted with her until he learned of the existence of the bond."Hiding the fact that you were my mate for years, using pheromone changing pills, and then, attempting to reject your mate not once but multiple times— how heavy do you think your punishment would be?" he voiced out."Let the Alpha handle my punishment then. I would rather be stuck in the prison than being with you," Ashlyn spat hostility.He smiled mockingly and responded, "Too bad, you don't have the privilege to choose. Since it would be too cruel for Alpha to punish his own sister, I will take care of it. My mate, I don't want anyone else to take care of you."There was a sign of bone-chilling possessiveness in his eyes, and instead of being turn

Stepping out of the shower, the first thing she did was to stride over to the Beta, and the next instant her fist connected with his cheek when he turned back to face her.The impact made him stumble back, but he didn't fall.But that didn't satiate the anger inside her. Raising her hand, she was about to attack him again, but this time she didn't have the opportunity to do so. He grabbed on her hands.Glaring at him, she raised her leg and connected her knee with his stomach. A wince left his mouth.But before she could harm him further, he turned her the other side. He wrapped one of his hand around her torso, keeping her hands locked in place. His other hand lingered on her neck.A threatening growl left her mouth. Brushing back the hair from her shoulder, he pressed his nose on her neck, taking in her scent. The touch made the hair on her body rise as chills travelled down her back."You smell so good," he commented, "those bastards smelled disgusting on you."This made her under
