All Chapters of The Missing Beta: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

~Third Person~Silence settles around them and the air crackles with sexual tension. Dominic holds his breath, waiting for her answer. Something in him has him scared. He has no proof, but he feels that her answer could end his life. Of course, he isn’t going to die, but the sentiment is the same. Jamorea is scared to speak. She knows her answer; she’s known it for a while now. She hasn’t been as sure about anything in her life. There’s too much, though. There’s too much about her, surrounding her. She’s terrified that if she gives in, she’ll be a disappointment. She’s terrified that Dominic will wake up one day and realize that she has too much trouble for him to deal with. Look at what’s going on right now. There are three Alphas on packlands right now because of her. She came here to do harm to this family, and in response, people are being called in simply to help them. If she had never come here, they wouldn’t need to do that.Jamorea has been in a state of survival for most of

~Katarina~“Are you sure you don’t want me to go see her? I mean, she knows my father, and maybe she’ll talk to me.” It’s sweet how much Aston worries about me, but he really doesn’t need to do that. I’m perfectly safe going to the coven on my own. I think by now they realize that I’m not someone who would easily succumb to their power.I turn from the mirror and look at my handsome mate. He’s sitting on the edge of the bed with his hands clasped in front of him. The look on his face is one of immense worry, and it warms my heart, but it also makes me want to wrap him up in my arms. “Do you think something is going to happen to me?”“It could. You will be away from me, and that makes me worry.” I slowly walk over to the bed, keeping my eyes on Aston. I stop in front of him and run my hands over the top of his head. “Dreamboat, look at me.” He slowly lifts his head and puts his eyes on mine. “I love how you worry about me, I do. I know you aren’t doing it in a demeaning way. I promise

I stroll out of the room after getting dressed. I step out of his apartment, only to crash into a solid object. When I look up, my mate is standing in front of me. I step back and rub my arm, not knowing where to look. “You’re up.”“That’s usually what happens in the morning, right?” Dominic steps forward and I step back. “I’m sorry for rushing out of here. I just needed to handle something.” I don’t respond and don’t look at him. “If you come with me, I can explain.” Silence wraps around us, causing me to look toward him. Dominic has his hand out to me, waiting for me to take it. I tentatively put my hand in his and allow him to walk me to the stairs. We end up in the Alpha’s office. He’s already there with Luna Katarina. I don’t see Skye, but I’d imagine she’ll be along shortly. Everyone gets settled, but no one speaks. The office door opens, and an older version of Aston walks in, followed by an elegant-looking woman. They embrace the Alpha and Lu

~Dominic~I wanted to have this done already, but we had to wait for Topaz to get everything together. It’s actually worked out that Brackston hasn’t called Jamorea in a few days. We had a backup plan to hide her mark if he did, but now we don’t need it. Topaz came through, and I couldn’t be happier. The first idea was to do a glamour of sorts that would make the mark disappear for a while. I didn’t like that because we only need to cover it for the video calls. I’m proud that I have my mate and she’s marked by me. I want her mark to show to everyone. Topaz was able to give us a better alternative. It’s a cream that will temporarily make her mark disappear. It’s supposed to last about 2-3 hours before disappearing. This guy usually calls around the same time every day, so Jamorea will be able to put the cream on before he calls, and it will wear off sometime after their call. I reach out to my mate, only to be met by a wall. That’s weird because since we’ve been marked, I’ve always

~Jamorea~I barely let the phone ring before I answer it. I’ve been waiting for this call, and it felt like it took forever to come. The screen lights up, and I immediately fix my collar. I know there’s a cream that Topaz made, but I haven’t had the mind to use it yet. I’ve barely started to wrap my mind around my sick brother, and I haven’t had the capacity to think of anything else. “I want to see him.”“Well, hello to you too, Jamorea. I’m fine, by the way, just been a bit busy. How are you?” I sigh internally, barely catching myself from blowing up. “I want to see my brother.”“You know, it’s polite to greet people before you start demanding things.” He’s really trying my patience, and that isn’t a good thing. “My brother is sick with a terrible disease. I don’t want to engage in small talk; I just want to see my brother.” Brackston moves on the screen, keeping his eyes on me.“I get it, I do. There’s still a protocol to things no matter how we may be feeling.” He lets out a bre
