บททั้งหมดของ The Beta's Salvation: บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 49

Neo POVSomething shifted in the room—and I didn't like it. I felt it the second the words left her mouth. "Out."The command was not loud, but it landed like a pulse of raw energy, rippling across the space with invisible force. It didn't come from her lungs—it came from somewhere deeper. Deeper than it should have.The enforcer flinched. The advisors froze, eyes darting toward me for confirmation. But it wasn't me they moved for.It was her. They obeyed her.I watched in silence as they dropped everything and left without a word, the door clicking shut behind them like the final note of a song I didn't write.My fingers tightened around the armrest.That tone—the weight behind it—I recognized it. I'd used it. Father had, too. But Sky? She wasn't supposed to have it. The Alpha Command didn't run through just any blood. It was rare. Inherited. Born.Not earned.And definitely not hers.I studied her more closely now, my expression calm, but something cold slithered down my spine.How?

Sky POVI didn't remember leaving Neo's office. Not really.All I remembered was the sound of blood pounding in my ears, the phantom sting of his twisted words wrapping around my throat like a noose, and the violent ache behind my ribs that refused to fade.I stormed through the halls, shoulders tense, jaw tight, rage lighting up every inch of me like wildfire.I needed to find Zeke. Now.He would know the truth—had to know the truth. And if he did, if he knew what Neo was doing to the women of this pack and said nothing...I didn't know if I could forgive that."Sky!" someone called out.I didn't stop. Another voice, different this time, whistled through the corridor."Hey, hell of a show out there today!"I froze. Slowly, I turned to face them. Three warriors—mid-rank, Delta-tier—stood clustered near the hallway arch, sweat-stained from their own training but wearing smirks that made my skin crawl."It's been a long time since we saw a female fight like that," one laughed, nodding w

ZEKEThe sun was starting to sink lower in the sky, casting long shadows across the gravel driveway as I loaded the last basket into the back of the truck. The air had cooled, a light breeze rustling through the trees just outside the pack boundary.I paused, resting my hands on the tailgate, my heart pounding harder than it should've been.This wasn't just a picnic.It was freedom—a few stolen hours where it was just her and me, no watchful eyes, no whispered threats, no power games.Just us.Sky had asked for answers. About what I'd been working on, what I'd really been doing behind Neo's back. I hadn't told her much, only that I couldn't say anything within these walls. And I meant it.Every room had ears. Every hallway, a tail.So I arranged this instead. A drive out of pack territory. To a quiet stretch of beach that curved around the cliffs, hidden and wild. The only place left untouched by Neo's corruption.The perfect place to remind her who we used to be.I slammed the tailga

Neo POVThe walls felt like they were closing in. I was on the cold bathroom floor, shirt clinging to my sweat-drenched skin, underwear soaked in shame, curled on my side as a fresh wave of cramps gripped my gut like a vice. My stomach roared, gurgling, twisting. Each spasm was like lightning through my core—sharp, unforgiving. I dragged myself forward, fingers trembling against the smooth tile, knuckles scraped raw from earlier attempts to haul myself up.And then it hit again."F-fuck!" I snarled, curling in on myself as my body betrayed me for the millionth goddamn time. I barely made it to the toilet in time. Again. My legs shook beneath me, weak and useless, as if my bones were being hollowed from the inside out. Every time I thought it was over—every time I dared to hope—I was slammed back into agony—a savage cycle of pain and humiliation.The stench was unbearable. The air was thick with it. My own sickness clung to every surface, every breath. My vision blurred, the edges of t

Zeke POVThe hallway leading to the meeting rooms had never felt so long. My boots thudded softly against the marble floor, Sky's lighter footsteps a beat beside mine. She moved with that impossible confidence she always had, chin high, lips smirking like the world was hers for the taking. I should have admired it. I did. But it twisted something deep inside me—a knot of nerves I couldn't unravel.I kept my expression still, eyes ahead, but inside my head was chaos. I had no idea what Elder Marius knew. Or what Sky planned to say.She hadn't seen him in years, not since before our world flipped inside out. And this? Walking into the room like she hadn't vanished, like she still belonged here—it scared me.I reached the door first and paused, my hand hovering over the brass handle. Sky gave me a sideways look, brow raised."Are you nervous?" she asked."No. Just thinking.""About what?""About how fast this could go wrong."She just grinned like she was going to enjoy the chaos, noddin
