Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Beta's Unexpected Mate : Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

Kara's POV... It's only been five days since I resumed work as a slave in the Red Lotus pack, and I am almost on the verge of losing my mind. The people I share a room with are just as evil as the doctor that killed Keisha. They have made it a point of duty to frustrate me. My bed gets wet both morning and night. Even when I arrive early to the room in a bid to keep my bed dry, one of them would turn the water on me while in bed.It would have been better if they had stopped there, but they extended their generosity to my food. I don't think I have had a full plate of food since I arrived; they take everything from me. To think I have to work on the farm on an empty belly. I am losing the strength and will to continue. But I can't seem to stop whenever I want to. The day I unintentionally sat for a little while, one of the guards whipped me mercilessly. I realized no other slave was being treated that way except me. It appears there has been a new order that punishes anyone who maltr

Kara's POV...The few days of rest I had worked magic, and being able to eat without anyone getting in my way is something I hope continues for a long time. I don't want to go through the phase of my meals being taken away from me while I watch helplessly again. Even though the farm work isn't any better, it's easier to cope since I have enough boosters in my belly."Get out of the way!" One of the slaves pushed me aside.I moved gently to disallow any other person from pushing me. My former roommates seem to be looking for every chance to spite me. Since I don't share a room with them any longer, it's probably giving them a lot of headaches.Carrying the basket in my hand properly, I made my way toward the kitchen, where I was asked to take the harvested fruits. I was so engrossed in the load that I almost didn't notice Alexa approaching me. My eyes lingered on her hand, rubbing slowly at her protruding belly. I try not to picture myself in that state. I bowed my head lightly. She mo

Author's POV...Selena stared at Kara in utmost disgust; she was toiling the ground like there were no bones in her arms. She hadn't thought much about her presence in the packhouse before, but one look at her reminded Selena of all the bad things Kara had done to not just her but Alexa, too. For someone like Kara, it would have been really unfair if she escaped karma.She had woken up on the wrong side of the bed, angry at Simon for not trying hard enough to resolve the misunderstanding between them. It prompted Selena to rage at anyone who stumbles through her path. Luckily, Kara seems like the right person to leech on. The sound of the lunch bell rang loudly, notifying the slaves to take a break.Kara dropped the tool with her and dusted her dirty hands on her shabby clothes with a look of relief and eagerness on her face. Selena hurried towards her, blocking her way."Where do you think you are going with that mess you created?"Looking back at the obvious mess, Kara gulped hard. "

 Kara's POV...   Opening the door to my room felt like heaven. My legs shook hard from bending it all day long. I wonder what got Selena to let me off, just like the rest of the slaves. Even though Logan had been the one to ask all slaves to take the rest of the day off, she would have asked me to stay back and toil till the sun went down, keeping to her promise to make me pay for all that I did. I haven't had a straight meal in the last couple of days, and it feels like my strength is waning.   Surprisingly, the guards told me to take a break, too. I didn't bother to source for food and came back to my room instead. Laying down on the bed, tears trickled down my face. Life has been unbearable for me since I got into this pack. I don't know if it would have worked out better for me in the woods than here. No one wants to see me near them. They avoid me like a plague.  

Kara's POV...   My heart thumped loudly as I ran back to my temporary room. My days are numbered anyway, so I might as well just take in the solace it would give in the meantime. I hate Simon so much; he is the reason this torture I am about to experience will reign for a long time. How did I not notice someone was behind me? If I knew, it would have given me enough time to prepare myself and avoid him.   If I had taken the wolfsbane just a few seconds before he made an entrance, I would be halfway to the heavens. I believe now that my father was mistaken. There is nothing to look out for here. How is it possible that Alexa went through more pain than I have experienced in the last few months? She probably did go through hell. My different attempts to end her life are enough to tell how hellish this place must have been.   I feel lifeless; with Amaya choosing silence,
