All Chapters of The Beta's Temptation : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Cole's POV I slide the gun into place at my back, feeling the familiar weight settle against my spine. It’s a custom Heckler & Koch VP9, modified, silent-ready, built for close combat and long fights. I haven’t carried it openly in years. Carrying it again feels like admitting a truth I tried to bury. Violence never left me. I only stepped away from it. My phone vibrates in my hand. This time, it's Miriam. “The flight is ready,” she says. “I’m coming,” I reply, already moving. I cut the call and take one last look around the room. Everything I once tried to become stays behind here. I turn and walk out without slowing down. The passage outside is lined with pack members. One after the other, they bow their heads as I pass. Not out of fear alone, but recognition. I am not leaving as a man asking permission. I am leaving as the Beta who remembers exactly how to destroy his enemies. I head straight for the pack halls. Voices echo inside. Guards stand at attention and then I

Cole's POV The moment I step outside, my vision tilts. It hits me all at once, like someone grabbed my skull and twisted it hard. I’m halfway to the car when my vision shifts sideways, then doubles, then blurs until the shape of the vehicle splits into two overlapping shadows. I stop short and shake my head hard, blinking fast. “What the hell…” I mutter. It does nothing.The ground under my feet suddenly feels wrong, like it’s moving when it shouldn’t. I take another step and nearly miss it. My balance slips and I stagger back, my shoulder slamming into the stone wall of the house. Pain shoots through me, sharp and real but it doesn’t clear my head. It gets worse. My vision pulses, light smearing at the edges. The house doubles in my eyes. Everything doubles. Even my hands look wrong when I lift them, like I’m seeing them through water. “No,” I breathe. “No, no, no.” I press my palm flat to the wall, trying to steady myself, trying to force my body to obey me. My heart s

Cole's POV I spread her legs wider to make room for myself between her thighs, my hands gripping her soft skin as I positioned myself right there, feeling the heat coming off her body. My heart was racing like crazy and my wolf was still pushing me, urging me to take what was mine. I reached down and unzipped my trousers, pulling them off along with my boxers in one quick motion, letting my hard dick spring free. It was throbbing already, aching from all the buildup, and just looking at her naked body spread out like that made me even harder. I bent down again, pressing my lips to her cunt in a deep kiss, my tongue slipping inside to taste her one more time. She was still wet from before, her juices coating my mouth, and I groaned against her, savoring the flavor. "Esme, you taste so good," I muttered, even though she couldn't hear me. "I could do this all day, but I need more now." My wolf agreed, growling low in my chest, making my whole body vibrate with need. I stood u

Cole's POV I turned toward the bed where that soft voice had come from, my eyes glowing bright yellow as the wolf pushed forward again, making my vision sharper in the dim light of the room. Esme was sitting up a little now, her eyes open and wide, looking at me with this innocent expression that hit me right in the chest. But first, I had to deal with Raid, who was still on the floor, bloody and beaten, trying to push himself up with his good arm. The rage was still boiling in me, and I snarled at him, my voice coming out like gravel. "Get out now," I ordered, pointing at the door with a clawed finger that I didn't even realize had extended again. Raid didn't argue this time; he just nodded weakly, his face all swollen and covered in blood, and started crawling toward the door as fast as he could with his injuries. He dragged himself across the floor, leaving a trail of red smears behind him, and I watched him go, my chest heaving with each breath. He reached the door, pulle

Cole’s POV Fuck. I don’t even spare Esme a second glance. The moment that message hits my phone, something inside me snaps sharply, and at the same time everything else goes silent. My wolf, which had been clawing and demanding and screaming only minutes ago, suddenly goes still, like it has finally gotten what it wanted and doesn’t care what happens next. “Selfish bastard,” I mutter under my breath as I move. “You always were.” My hands are steady now. I straighten my jacket, shove the phone into my hand, and walk out of the room without looking back. There’s no time for words. No time for guilt. No time for anything except one thing. Lior. “I swear,” I snarl quietly as I stride out of the house, “you will never get to pull that shit on me again.” I barked at him.. The door slams behind me. I’m already pulling the car door open when I dial the number I know by heart. The line barely rings once before it’s picked up. “Well?” Damien says, his voice smooth and amuse
