Semua Bab The Beta and The Lost Heiress: Bab 221 - Bab 230

“After your last… visit,” Jessica began, “My once dead curiosity came back to life. What I’d spent years searching for, only took days to be discovered and it’s all thanks to you. I have reasons to believe that I might just have discovered the formula your parents had died trying to keep hidden.”Once again, it took every last bit of self-control in me to stay calm. “From all you said earlier, I'd think the Circle should have no more need for those, After all, they’d made new discoveries way more impressive than anything she’d ever come up with.”“We might have enjoyed significant success over the years, but the knowledge she’d kept hidden from us might be exactly what we need to finally meet our goals.”“And so, if you’d found what you’re looking for, why are you here?”“Aren’t you curious to know what we discovered—what I discovered? Well, I’ll tell you anyway. There was no true formula; she made us believe she’d kept it hidden, and so we’d spent all those years searching—searchin

DANIKA’S POVI was going to do it. I was going to tell him how I truly felt about him, and I was convinced he felt the same way. I felt that in his every touch, in his caress and I heard it in every word he uttered.The framed portrait of the painting he’d made for me stared back at me from my room wall. I couldn’t believe he actually painted me; I couldn’t believe how good he was at it too. With the portrait in here, this room suddenly felt less like a cage and more like… home.“You can do this, Danika,” I whispered to myself.I ran a brush through my hair, tying it into a ponytail, but then I remembered how much he seemed to like it down and undid the hair tie. I applied a little bit of make up before walking out of my room and heading to his chambers. He wasn’t there.Well, maybe this was a sign that it wasn’t the right time yet. I mean, I could no longer deny my feelings for him, but the thought of confessing it to him—that was the part that left me feeling nervous.“I’m guessi

I could have left Richard’s car somewhere it would be found and returned back to him, then walked away without a single word, but I didn’t. Instead, I drove back to the pack because I wanted the truth. I deserved to know the truth.Upon my return, I spotted Richard, who was currently making his way towards me. He pulled open the car door and I let myself out.“How was the ride?” He questioned, I didn’t miss the worry in his eyes.“Refreshing.” I said, handing the keys back to him,”Thanks for the car.”“Anytime.” He said and I gave a nod, before walking past him. “Danika?”I turned to him. “I just wanted you to know that I’m here if you need… anything.”“Actually, I need something now. Do you have any idea where Rex is right now?”“Yes. He’s at the Training room.”“Thank you.”“You’re welcome.”I headed straight to the Training room, pushed open the door and walked in, but then I came to an abrupt stop at the sight before me. I’d seen him practice on the wooden dummy before, but this

WRAITH’S POVAfter a three-day flight, we arrived in the middle of…nowhere. The strange desert seemed to stretch forever. I’d never been to this place before. Werewolves usually live surrounded by the woods, or at least close enough to one. And so, you’d seldom see a werewolf this far deep into the deserts. “Don’t look so surprised. Do you really think we would have our institute on the roadside where anyone could walk in?” Jessica questioned, and I don’t bother responding. “Take a step back—or maybe three steps back.” She said, and I did so.Just then, the ground heaved, almost like an earthquake was taking place, but there wasn’t one. It was a building, circular in shape and even wider than the pack house back home, that broke out of the sand.An underground building—I realized.“Impressive, right? Now let’s get going.” She said, taking the lead.Inside was exactly what I expected The Circle’s command center to look like. She swiped her card at the access slot, and the metal door

JAKE’S POV“So, this is it?” Elizabeth questioned, staring at the vial.“I guess. The alpha had instructed me to give it to you; he said you would know what to do with it.”“I’m guessing whoever gave you this is confident that a single dose is all it takes to cure the Luna’s ailment.”“I’m counting on that.”She walked into the ward where the Luna had been kept. Tessa was covered in sweat, her brows pinched. She was in pain; that much was clear.“Luna, I’ll need you to drink this.” Elizabeth said, her voice quiet and soothing.“I don’t—I don’t want to. Don’t make me take it, please.”“You have to. It will stop the pain, I promise.”“I don’t have to do anything. I need to see Wraith.”Elizabeth's gaze met mine, but I shook my head. She knew the alpha was gone, but just like every other person in this pack, she had no idea that he wasn’t planning on returning.“You will see the Alpha soon, after you take this.” Elizabeth tried reasoning with her, but Tessa remained unwilling.Elizabeth
