All Chapters of The Beta’s Choice (Book 2 of The Luna’s Choice): Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

AlanThe last couple of days had been a blur. When I came out of the tent .. carrying Ingrid in my arms I saw that Red had been right. They’d gotten the upper hand. The rest of the wolves were sitting on their knees … hands in the air… surrendering. We’d rushed Ingrid to the nearest pack so she could be seen by the doctor there. Apparently the council had already told them there was a possibility they’d need several beds. Out of the thirty or so that had gone to war with us… two had died. And another ten were severely injured. And the rest of us were injured … but not bad enough to stay in the pack hospital. We gave Ingrid the antidote for the silver on the way, hoping it would kickstart the healing and thank goddess… it did. The pack doctor said if we hadn’t done that.. she might not have made it. I was losing my mind not being able to talk to Collins. But they wouldn’t let us call home. They said just in case … whatever that meant. Her dad was fine … he got a little beat up but

Collins It had been a few days since the fighting and everyone had gotten home safely. Jenny was staying with me for a while … and we were doing our school work online. Her dad had made that happen for us. Guess Breck wasn’t lying about that particular part. We would return.. we had to… we had finals. And then I had decided not to do summer school .. i would finish up my studies next year and take all my classes then. I was going to enjoy the summer at home with my family and Alan. Jenny too. I knew she’d be visiting me all the time now that she knew everything. She was taking everything well. Sometimes I would catch her looking off into space with her eyes wide and I knew her brain was just trying to accept the fact that everything she thought she knew… wasn’t true. One of the council members that is good friends with Emily told us that he had known Remington for years. He’s the one that sent him to watch Breck. He apologized to me that he couldn’t warn me off from him…. But th

Collins Jenny and I high fived each other. We’d just finished our last final. And we were done with school. At least for the summer. I was excited for the break.. and ready for some rest and relaxation. Amazingly .. the sun finally came out here and it got almost warm. It was actually beautiful weather. Not hot… but just right. Jenny and I had packed up our clothes … leaving our room the way it was for when we came back to school in the fall. I took a good look around … feeling sad for a moment… remembering everything that had happened since I’d been here. But.. my therapist would tell me.. it’s fine to remember the past.. just don’t relive it. And I knew that’s what I needed to do .. look toward the future. I hugged Jenny tightly… not wanting to let her go. She was clutched on to me as well. Then we both started to cry. I then laughed through my tears. “This is ridiculous. We’re going to see each other in two weeks.” I said. “That’s such a long time…” Jenny said still c

Collins I’d gotten back from my beach trip feeling a new sense of peace and happiness. My skin tanner and my hair lighter than it’s normal dark brown. We’d had the perfect vacation… spending our days at the beach, reading and playing and swimming. We had each gotten a section of our hair beaded and even received henna tattoos. We’d gone into the stores and bought T-shirts and sweat pants with the name of the beach on them. Every touristy thing you could think of … we’d done it. I’d also caught up with Sloan, Sara , and Abbey. We’d fallen right back into our friendships as if we’d spent no time apart at all. Spending time at the ocean and with all the girls and getting to see my grandfather had meant the world to me. But I had missed Alan. When I asked him what he’d gotten up to he just grinned really big and said ‘not much’. I know he had gone back to his home pack for part of the time but he was here for a couple days too. He told me he’d hung out with my dad and Lorenzo…

Epilogue Collins It has been the most amazing summer I’d ever had. I’d spent so much time with my family and friends… gotten to hang out with everyone and do just normal daily activities. I played with Cade, my baby brother. I went on horseback rides with Cristoff and played games on the Xbox with him. We’d even gone over to Emily’s and played with her kids too. We spent a lot of time at Emily’s house with her and Lo. We had cookouts and swimming in the lake that was in her backyard. We had bonfires and camp outs and slept in sleeping bags outdoors. The girls and I went shopping and to the salon a few times. We even went and saw a couple movies in the theater in the little town close to us. And I shifted and ran every single day. It was life changing, the freedom of it all. Mom and I cooked together and she told me stories of her childhood. My dad and I had spent some time together too. He apologized to me again for everything that happened and what I had seen when I was fou
