All Chapters of The Alpha's Beta: Once Rejected, Now Desired: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Lloyd's POVI hurried down the hall to the guestroom where Lena was staying and tumbled through and froze. Davina was right after all; Lena was gone. My hands went to my waist at akimbo, and minutes later, Elora joined me. “She wasn’t lying,” Elora said.“Why would she run away?” I turned to her.She shook her head. “I don’t know. We didn’t scare her, did we?”Davina walked through the open door, breezing past us for Lena’s bed. She sniffed around, then turned to us. “You can still find her if you really want to. Try to think of this as a kind of opportunity, you know?”“How?” Elora’s eyes slightly widened.A smirk appeared on Davina’s lips. “You all wanted to talk to my daughter, right? This is a golden opportunity for you to do that.”Elora and I exchanged glances. “What’s it going to be?” Davina said. “You can leave tonight and pick up her trail. You can also leave in the morning. I’ll conduct an enchantment that will help you follow her trail.”“We should leave tonight, Elora

Lloyd's POVThe tension in the room had stretched and grown taut. At this point, I knew I had to intervene or Lena is never going to follow us back home. I need to bring a solid negotiation force to the table in other to convince Miranda. I knew telling her to join us was out of the books.Taking a rugged decision in the land nagged at my mind. It was reckless, but it was the only way to get Lena to follow us back home.“I'm lifting the contraband against mages,” I said flatly.“What?” Elora turned to me sharply. Even the others in the room seemed to shrink back at the announcement. For a moment, I wavered. But Davina’s words urged me on.Davina had said the only way to win this is with the help of mages. And to get the help of mages, I have to work with them. She said I had to make reckless decisions.“It’s the only way to convince Miranda here that her daughter will be safe with us,” I said.Elora was shaking her head. “No, no, the pack is going to kick against this. The elders, ev

Lloyd's POV“Stay back,” Xavier brandished his sword against Davina. She crossed her arms with a blank face, looking from me to Xavier, then back to me.“She’s with us, Xavier,” I said, then frowned at her. “Witchy-bitchy, you don’t want me to break your portal to this place.”“Your loss,” she shot back, tone leveled. “You can’t deny that you need me. And for all it’s worth, you’re finally acting like a man.”Elora turned to her. “Don’t start, Davina—”“Great,” Davina brushed past Elora and headed towards the sofas, dropping into one. “Now that we have a full house, we all should talk strategy.”“What strategy?” I asked. “We have this handled. We can pull off on our own.”“In case you haven’t noticed,” Davina frowned at me. “We are going to have a horde of sorcerer showing up the moment you pass this into law. And if you don’t have a plan in place to checkmate this, then you might as well don’t worry about it at all.”“That’s not going to be any trouble for us,” I frowned. “What we n

Lloyd's POVAs usual, seats were set and everybody got seated. This time around, they didn’t have their usual blank faces. Everyone was throwing a scowl in different directions. The tension in the room thickened so much that every nerve in me was threatening to break loose.It was as if everyone was waiting for the first person to break the ice so that the person would be attacked. I was wise enough not to open my mouth yet. I never called for any meeting, so it would be unwise for me to open the floor. Under normal circumstances, I’d have opened the floor, but with the current situation at hand, I can’t afford to make that kind of mistake. The moment of silence was short-lived when people began to talk in hushed tones. At the gallery, where I sat with Elora and Xavier behind me, I felt Xavier’s breath ghosting over my neck, and I raised a hand, stopping him from saying whatever he was going to say. We won’t be the ones to break the silence.Elder Rhys stood up from his chair a

Elora's POV I stood before the mirror, turning around as I got a look at the red dress on my body. The dress was body fitted, glittering in the light, and accentuating my curves. I’d gone for the dress, partly because I wanted something that reflected high class and at the same time, allowed me to be fluid when there was a need to. I was still admiring myself in the mirror when a knock came from the door. Before I could turn, the door cracked open, revealing Lloyd in dark slacks, shirtless. “Hey,” I blinked. “Hey.” “Sorry, I had to…” I realized in that moment that he was holding a T-shirt. “I was going to relate the message myself. We’ll be meeting in the basement before we spread out.” I nodded, trying my best not to look at his chest. He nodded. “You look… absolutely stunning in that dress.” “Oh,” I turned to him, failing to resist the heat that rose in my cheek. He stood at the door for one extra second, and the air around us thickened. Then he cleared his throat and le
