บททั้งหมดของ Her Beta's Heart: บทที่ 71 - บทที่ 80

Alisa was blinking her eyes open again, but this time it was not in a white hospital. It was in a place that felt to her like a warehouse, the skeletal rods that were lined where a ceiling should have been evidence of it. She was lying on a bed, cold steel handcuffs holding her to it. “You should rest, Miss Grant.” The doctor’s voice watched her in exhaustion. “You have been through a long night, and you will go through an even longer one.” And secretly, he hoped she would see more nights than just this one. She had only been a pawn in a game, and now he regretted playing that game, not with her eyes fixed intently on his here. She would have been a pawn and remained a pawn if a wolf with a penchant for breaking laws did not go farther than he had to. Of course, the Guard had watched the both of them all along, he included. Every spare moment Alisa and Jayden thought they had been sharing was secretly being watched by careful wolf eyes, and every secret conversation of theirs was

Elliott left Jayden and went to the room where Alisa was kept, and she lay asleep, her golden blonde hair falling carelessly on the bed. Strands of them covered her face, and he pushed them carefully away with his finger, noting how much her baby had taken after her.He peered into her face, thinking that in a universe with no Jayden, she would have been his. But Jayden was here, and taking the fall for him. In the record of the pack, no wolf had ever mated a human to have children before, everyone knowing the difference between wolf and human. Whatever relations created between them was formed at the Lupercalia, where hunts were made and Lunas joined in, mating the champions.Back then Elliott had known he was no one’s choice for a mate. He was a true Omega, as weak as a Luna, and secretly looked up to Jayden, wishing he was his successful young cousin, envied by the males and loved by the females. Successful in both the human and the wolf world, running a chain of businesses and bei

Alisa woke up in a dark room, with nothing but a dim lamp hanging from the ceiling. Her wrists were still held by the cuffs, and she pulled uselessly while trying to break free from them. Her head fell back on the pillow behind it and she began to cry. Everything had gone wrong. She had gone from signing a contract to save Johnny’s life to lying like a prisoner of the state. The door swung open, and a huge figure she could not identify came in. All she could see was its form in the darkness, coming beside her. “Who are you?” She asked, her voice shaky. The figure made no reply but snapped the handcuffs off her hands as though they were made of wood. It then pulled her to sit up in the bed. “Do you remember me, Alisa?” It asked. She could not have missed the voice for anything in the world. “Elliott.” She whispered and then remembered in horror the image of the evil wolf she had seen in Jayden’s mind. He was evil, and she did not trust him. Having him snap her handcuffs off was s

“The next charge is the charge of the betrayal of the secret of the pack’s existence by Jayden Wells to his human lover. For witnesses, I will call on something that has been a fairy tale for a long time because of how rare they have to be used. I call on the Wolf Guard.”The wolves made noises as two more wolves came up to the rock. They were Betas and both disappeared before coming back to their human forms, clothed in red robes. They both joined Doctor King where he stood, all three of them. “The Wolf Guard, who have been very instrumental in keeping the secret existence of this pack safe, and known only to selected Betas. You are here before the pack to testify against Jayden Christopher Wells for the crime of the betrayal of the secret of the existence of the pack. Do you swear to say the truth and exactly what has happened?”The wolves began to make small noises. Many of them had never heard of this guard before, and those who had heard of them did not know that they were still

It took Alisa some time to realize that she had been holding her breath all along. She tried to, but her heart was racing in her chest and her hands were shaking terribly because she knew if Elliott died, she would die too. And wasn’t everybody in the pack supposed to be afraid of him?Elliott only stood and watched them as though they were children.“Is there anyone else who wishes to fight against me? I fear that five may be too few for me.” He bellowed. “I will not have the mercy I had on Alpha William Robin to let him go without killing him. All of you standing against me must try to kill me first because you will not live beyond this moment.”The man morphed back into his wolf form and Alisa saw that it had taken him a bit of effort, and even some more time than it took Jayden.Jayden for his part was unsure. Elliott would defeat any of them, but not when there were five wolves against him.The man came closer, the other four wolves coming up slowly behind him. Elliott simply ma
