All Chapters of The Beta's Temptation : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Cole's POV Shawn stared at me after his last comment, the room falling into a thick silence. He set his glass down slowly, watching my expressions the way only someone who had known me for years could. “Are you still taking the medication I gave you?” he asked suddenly. I didn’t answer. The silence stretched long enough to make his jaw clench. “Cole,” he said sharply, stepping forward, “don’t stand there acting like you’re invincible. Answer me. Are you taking them or not?” Still, I said nothing. That was all it took. Shawn’s calm broke at once, frustration rising through every word. “For f**k’s sake, you should be taking them! Nolan might have shot you with whatever antidote he brought from God knows where, but from what I detected in your system, you're not cured. Not fully. That venom didn’t just affect your body—it messed with your nerves, your instincts, your balance, your wolf. Why are you doing this to yourself?” I lifted my eyes at him, slow and cold. “That shou

Cole's POV I quickly realized myself that I was acting up too much.I needed to pull back before I made Nolan or anyone else suspect I actually remembered everything about Esme, If they thought I cared too much, they would start asking questions. And right now, I needed them blind.So instead of showing the rage boiling in my chest, I tightened my grip on Nolan’s throat, leaned in, and smirked.“You shouldn’t do that in front of her,” I said calmly. “She’s your sister. Even if you’ve demoted her to nothing in this pack, what if she tells the pack you’re into men? She could ruin you with that.”The words hit him instantly.His eyes shot wide in panic, exactly how I needed them to.He froze, then slowly eased himself out of my hold. He slapped my shoulder twice and gave a nervous little nod, whispering, “You’re right, Coley… you’re right, man.”He rebuttoned his pants in a hurry. Marek scrambled to fix himself too, avoiding both our eyes like he wished the ground would swallow him.Nol

Cole's POV I stare at her, trying to register what she just said but I shrugged it off because if there's one thing I've come to understand, it's the fact that Esme doesn't entirely believe her own words just now, she was testing me. "Why would I pretend to a wiped memory, a Beta doesn't do that, does he?" She pushed me away instantly, her palms slamming into my chest with surprising force. I staggered back a step, but a smirk slid onto my face darkly. Gods, I loved that fire in her, even now. She wiped her tears angrily, glaring at me like she could burn holes through my skull, but her body told a different story. Her nipples pebbled under the thin fabric of her dress, her thighs shifting subtly as if seeking friction. "You think you're so superior," she spat, voice trembling but fierce. "Taunting me like this. But you're just Nolan's puppet now, aren't you? Memory or no memory, you're still his lapdog." I chuckled low, stepping forward again, closing the distance until our

COLE — POVIt was already a full night time now and I changed my clothes and put on my combat clothes and facemask and my black cap. I had an unfinished business I needed to finish, I picked my phone and put a call across to Raid and he picked on the first ring at once.“Boss,” he called, alert as always.“In a week’s time, you’re leaving with her for Italy, and I want you to stay with her until I’m done with my business here…”He went silent for a while. I already knew what thoughts were crossing his mind.“Do you mean… the miss?” he asked.I hummed a yes, a low sound in my throat.“What about—”I cut him off, voice flat. “No questions, Raid. Just do as I said.”“…Yes, boss.”“Meet me at the club tonight. We find Romanov this night or nothing. At all costs, we have to find him.” My voice darkened as I spoke. “Also get ready to hide someone for me as well. Bring a few men armed and be on standby. It won’t be funny tonight.”I dropped the call before he could add anything.I wore my d

Cole's POV “Move,” I said, my voice low and firm, carrying the kind of authority that didn’t need to be raised to be obeyed.The guards immediately stepped aside, clearing the path without argument or hesitation. Their reactions told me everything I needed to know. They were already shaken, already aware that something irreversible had happened tonight. At this point, they knew better than to challenge me.I tightened my hold around Lior instinctively as I walked, his small body pressed against my chest, his fingers still clutching the front of my jacket as if letting go meant falling into something darker. His weight felt heavier than it should have.The black car was waiting exactly where I’d ordered it to be, engine running, headlights dimmed but alert. Raid’s men stepped out quickly the moment they saw me approach, their expressions shifting instantly when they noticed the child in my arms.I handed Lior over carefully to them, making sure his grip transferred from me to them
