All Chapters of Beta vs Gamma: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

~Kemarion~I step back into the darkness of the night, fully covered by the tree branches. This is good; this is what I wanted. This will make things easier for me to move forward in my life. To think that the Moon Goddess paired me with such an unsuitable girl as a mate. I’m the future Beta of this pack, and that comes with some prestige. She’s nothing, a nobody. There’s no way our union would be accepted or beneficial. Hell, what kind of kids would I end up having? I still remember when I first saw her last week. *Flashback*I step out of the car, eager to see everyone. I haven’t been home in a while, and I’ve missed it. D slaps me on the back and runs into the packhouse. I shake my head and follow after him. We’ve been away at Alpha/Beta training since we were 18. We’ve been gone for about two years, and it’s been tough. The phone calls and video messages were decent, but I needed more. We are home for a month before going back. This is our last year, so we are just wrapping thi

~Samiah~There are voices not too far from me, but there are always voices. The warriors come and go, performing their duties, and I’m just here. I’m just sitting here wondering if I will ever be able to get out. Wondering if my mom will survive this. The pack doctor has been out here a few times to check on my mom. I have no idea what’s wrong with her because she’s not allowed to talk to me about her health. I can only watch her come and go and hope that everything is getting better. I know it isn’t because my mom still sounds the same way she did when we were first put here. There are feet shuffling and fabric rustling. “I still don’t get it. How did they end up here?” I perk up at the words that I hear. They are talking about us, and I’m interested. I’ve been trying to find out what landed my mom and me here, but no one will tell me. The only thing I heard was the night we were pulled from the house. Nothing else has been said. “I don’t have details. I only know that Kemarion is

My sleep wasn’t restful, but under the circumstances, how could it have been? I made choices in my life that would put me in a better position than I was born into. I was born of Beta blood and set to take over the better position at my pack. I moved myself to have the opportunity to become more possible. It isn’t so much that I’m looking for an upgrade. I’m perfectly happy with the position I was born into. I really can’t turn down the opportunity that presented itself. Destini is an amazing shewolf, and taking this step with her is a no-brainer. While we weren’t destined to lead her pack, it’s more likely than not because her brother is so young. Now here I am, wondering what my future looks like. Destini met her fate mate and ran off with him without so much as an explanation. My heart hurt watching her w

I slowly walk across the field, heading to the packhouse. I have a meeting with Alpha Dean, my father, Lee, and my best friend. I sigh as I move toward the packhouse. I’m trying to figure out the best way to handle this situation with Samiah. Should I announce her as my mate now, or should I wait to do that?Sid has been unusually quiet since we went down to see her. He’s been at the forefront of my mind, but he hasn’t said a word. I don’t know what to do with that, so I left it where it was. I see Ross up ahead, coming out of the packhouse.Ross runs the local mechanic shop that we have for the pack. I know that he’s close with Samiah and has been teaching her the trade. It’s crazy to think of a Beta’s mate having a job outside of the packhouse. It’s even crazier for that job to be in a mechanic’s shop. It would be different if she were a receptionist or secretary, but that isn’t what Samiah’s been doing. I won’t allow my mate to do the job of a man while she’s standing by my side. “

“Samiah…” I turn my body, sleep overwhelming me. “Ssssamiah….” My eyes pop open, and I look around the room. It’s taking me a minute to get my bearings, but the moment I do, I sit up quickly. My eyes land on my mom.Her eyes are open far enough to see. I rush out of the chair and sit on the edge of the bed. “Mom! Mom, you’re okay. We are in the hospital. I was so worried, mom. I thought… the doctor sai-” Her hand lands on my arm with strength she shouldn’t have.“I… I don’t have much time. I have to tell you something.” I feel a tear drop from my eye, but I don’t bother to wipe it away.“Don’t talk like that, Mom. You have to believe that-” She squeezes my arm and I stop talking.“It’s okay, flower. I’m excited to go. I miss your father so much. You don’t need me here with you; you will be okay.” More tears leak from my eyes, and I don’t care. My mom is talking about dying, and that’s too much for me. “I don’t want a pack funeral. I just want you to bury me behind the house… close to
