Semua Bab The Beta’s Choice (Book 2 of The Luna’s Choice): Bab 21 - Bab 30

Alan It had been a few weeks now since I’d first met Ingrid. I’d finally gotten used to her… I got to a place where I didn’t have panic attacks every time she was around. I felt oddly drawn to her though. I know that obviously, at first, it was because she reminded me so much of Charlotte. But now it was moving more into she was just a spectacular wolf in her own right. Watching her fight was something I’d never seen before. It was like she had a sixth sense of what the person was going to do before they even did it. She could stand with her back to someone and know exactly what tactic and move they were going to try before they even did it. She would turn and block them or take them out quickly and easily before they even got started. Even though it was the guards we were all training, Jarvis, Lorenzo, and I.. along with the rest of the trainers also tried to learn everything she was teaching. And surprisingly we were getting better at sensing people and things we couldn’t s

AlanIn the last couple of weeks I had felt more like myself than I had in ages. I didn’t want to admit that Ingrid being here had anything to do with it, but if I was being honest… she had everything to do with it. Since the night I had found the picture sitting on top of the table I knew Charlotte had finally sent me a sign. I realized what Emily had been feeling all this time. I knew it was impossible… but as sure as I knew this… I also knew without a doubt it had happened. So I took a page out of my sister’s book, and I believed. I mean there was no plausible explanation how the drawer got opened and the picture got out. Unless I had done it in my sleep. But there was no way…. I slept like the dead. And anyway… I was a fucking werewolf. I actually turned into a wolf…. Was I really going to say people couldn’t send signs from the beyond? Then Ingrid showing up…. It was like Charlotte was saying ‘here you go… a little piece of me’. And goddess I would sure as hell take any pie

Alan I’d stewed over everything all night. And I finally decided after not being able to sleep— which for me was unheard of — that I needed to talk to Collins. I couldn’t just sit here and avoid her .. placing blame on her that I probably shouldn’t. Hell I knew I shouldn’t. I should have remembered that she was coming home. I should have been there when she got to her cabin. I probably should have gone and picked her up. I didn’t do any of those things. So I pulled my head out of my ass and got up this morning to go see her. We needed to talk. We needed to figure out what was going on here. At least, I needed to know. Well, that and Emily would probably kill me if I didn’t fix things. And Lorenzo would smother me in my sleep. Even though Lo was madly in love with Emily, and no one would ever begin to take that away… he held a place in his heart for Collins too. She was after all, his second mate. He would always protect her. And he would do what he could to protect her heart. He

Alan“Alan?” “Helloooooo”“Dude!!” I popped my head up to see several people staring at me. Lorenzo was speaking but I sure as shit hadn’t heard a word he said. I was in another world. I had been all damn day long. I was off for sure. Everything I had done today was messy. I told some of the guards to go to the wrong place… I had missed about ten punches I should’ve easily gotten …. I couldn’t focus and my mind kept drifting. “What the hell is wrong with you today dude?” Lorenzo whispered. But I couldn’t answer because I didn’t know. I mean I had a pretty good idea it was because of Collins. My wolf had been on edge every since this morning. I didn’t like the way the conversation ended. Ingrid showing up had thrown me for a loop. And Collins was kind of rude to her which in turn embarrassed me. I’d already swallowed my pride by going to see her in the first place. I knew she was pissed because I didn’t come the day before. But shit I was pissed that she hadn’t been home in week

Collins When we got home from the towns Alan was sitting on the front porch of our cabin waiting. I almost didn’t get out of the car … but mom looked over at me and patted my hand. “Go talk to him Collins. He’s your mate… whatever it is, I’m sure you guys will work it out.” Then she took my baby brother inside to give us privacy. I still sat in the car. I began thinking what it was like to be the wife of a trainer. Is this what mom has dealt with her entire life? Turning the other way while dad stayed gone all the time. But Alan wasn’t really a trainer .. he was a beta of his home pack. Still… he’d be busy a lot. I finally got out of the car… deciding I couldn’t stay in there all night. Although the thought was tempting. I walked up and sat down on the steps beside him… waiting for him to speak first. He didn’t… not for a very long time. But I sure as hell wasn’t going to be the one to break first. He knew he was in the wrong. He finally sighed… big and long and hard. “Coll
