《The Missing Beta》全部章節：第 151 章 - 第 160 章

~Katarina~I walk into Aston’s office and sit across from him at the desk. He looks up from the papers in front of him. We look at each other, but say nothing. He sits back in his chair, keeping his eyes on me. “What is it, love? You have a look on your face.” “What look? I have no idea what you mean.” He keeps his eyes on me, and I watch his smile grow. “You are going to need to find a new Gamma.” Aston’s eyebrow raises. “Deacon and your friend Mikky.” “No kidding! That actually makes sense.” I shrug my shoulders and settle into the chair. I don’t really know Mikayla like that, not like Aston does. I do know Deacon, and I’ve always believed that whoever ended up with him would be well cared for and loved. Deacon has always been a good man, and I believed that he would make a good mate. “I think they look good together. He’s worried about his position at her pack, though I’m sure it will all work out for the best.” Aston leans forward, poised to say something when his eyes lose foc

Katarina slowly drops her hand. Everyone seems to be in the same situation as me, well, except Aston. He almost looks amused, and that irritates me. I look over to the doorway and see that our guests are on the ground. That’s slightly satisfying, if I’m being completely honest. “Now that everyone has calmed down, maybe we can continue this conversation in a civilized manner.” All attention is on Katarina, and no one is dumb enough to speak against her. Aston has an arm behind her back. They are so cute; it’s sickening. “What my handsome mate would have said had everyone let him continue talking is that she got into this situation because she was threatened. Jamorea is the caregiver for her little brother, and the man who sent her here has him. Not only that, but Jamorea didn’t even try to get close to Skye. She had no intention of doing what this madman wanted; she was trying to find a way out of it.”Whatever Katarina did to the room, the effects were wearing off. Everyone starts to

~Aston~I climb into bed, pulling the covers over us. The moment my head settles on the pillow, Katarina snuggles against me. She places her ear over my heart, and I’m immediately at ease. “That was something, no?” I let out a half chuckle, following a sigh. “I don’t know why I thought that after all of these years, they would have let their beef go. Actually, I should direct that to Brice. He’s the only one who still seems to have an issue.” Katarina snuggles closer to me, wrapping her arm around my body. “What exactly happened between them?” I shake my head.“I don’t know what happened exactly. I think the crushing part happened while I was gone.” I pull Katarina into me tighter, needing to feel her warmth more than I already do. “I know they were together as teens and everything fell apart. I never really talked to Tamiyah about it.”“Maybe you should. I don’t want anything like that to happen again. Things could have ended up a lot worse than they did.” Katarina is right. If her

~Dominic~Jamorea’s face is pale, but I understand why. She’s utterly terrified about answering this call. If he suspects anything, he could hurt her brother. I reach through the link and connect with Aston and Katarina. It’s the phone he sent her. He’s contacting her. Should we all leave the room?Have her answer the call here and put it on speaker. Let the group hear the call. Yeah, maybe that will turn the tide. I disconnect the link and reach over to squeeze Jamorea’s knee. Aston clears his throat.“I need all of you to stay silent through this. Please just listen.” He turns his head to my mate. “Put the call on speaker.”“I… I can’t answer this here. He calls on video. He will suspect something if it’s a background he isn’t used to.” I forgot about that. I forgot that he always calls on video. I don’t think she has enough time to make it to her room before answering the call. Jamorea pulls the phone out of her pocket, and the screen is visible to me. This is a regular voice cal

~Dominic~Skye didn’t want to leave us, but I insisted. Things have been heavy lately, and I felt we needed time to unwind. You can’t really unwind when you are chasing after a toddler. As much as I love Skye, she’s a lot to handle most of the time.I lead Jamorea to my floor and into my place. I guide her to sit on the couch, and I start to pace. There has been so much in my mind that I’ve been trying to figure out. With everything that’s been going on, things have been put on the back burner, but I can’t continue like that.Having this conversation has been rolling around in my mind for a while now. When I told her about my past, she didn’t run, and she didn’t reject me. When she told me about her past and why she was here, I gave it the attention that it required. I knew that separate from this incident, my mate is a strong woman, and I could do a lot worse than her. I knew what I wanted, and I was sure.I wanted to have this conversation so many times, but there never seemed to be
