All Chapters of Beta vs Gamma: Chapter 11 - Chapter 19

~Kemarion~Two weeks! That entire situation took two weeks, and I am beyond irritated. There were so many times I wanted to walk out of that pack and just head home. If I didn’t have the position that I do, I would have done that and more. My mind kept drifting to Samiah. I kept wondering how she was settling in with being out of the cells. I kept imagining her sitting at home, trying to get her life back on track. I wasn’t worried about her being under the hood of a car. I specifically told Ross that she wouldn’t be about that life anymore, and he wouldn’t be one to defy me. I shift in my seat again, letting out a big sigh. “Why are you so anxious, brother?” I turn to look at Dean. He’s been watching me a lot lately. “I’m just anxious to get back home.” I hope I sound convincing, but I’m not sure. I haven’t told anyone about Samiah being my fated mate. I had no intentions of claiming her, and then I didn’t want to say anything until I had her. I’m sure people will have things to s

We stay that way for a few minutes without speaking. He clears his throat and walks from behind the desk. He leans against the front of the desk, pushing his scent closer to me. “How have you been… getting back into the swing of things and whatnot?” I hear him, but say nothing. What can I really say right now? “You can talk to me, you know. I won’t bite.” I keep my eyes focused on a spot behind him, making sure that I don’t look at him directly. The mate bond is a real thing, and it has an impact on you no matter if you want it to or not. That being said, I hate to admit how attractive Kemarion is. I refuse to play a game with him. He ruined me, ruined my family, and I want nothing to do with him. “We are mates.” My body reacts to his words, but my face stays neutral, and I don’t move. “You will move into the packhouse with me, and we will go from there.” A chill runs down my spine, and I move my head to look at him properly. He has a smug look on his face;

I was up early for training. I wanted to get it over with. This is going to be a busy day, and I need to make sure that I have the time to devote to her.I take a quick shower and dress. I go downstairs for breakfast, not hungry, but trying to have the energy I need for the day. I hate to admit that my eyes keep drifting to the door all morning. I keep expecting her to walk into the packhouse. If I’m being honest, I expected her to be here when I woke up.I thought that she would be excited to be by my side and wouldn’t be able to wait long to get to me. If I’m being honest, I’m really offering her the world. I’m sure she never thought she’d become someone of importance. It isn’t that I plan to stay with her, but just being next to me will elevate her status even for a moment. She's going from obscurity to someone seen and maybe treasured, and it’s all thanks to the Moon Goddess. No one in their right mind would piss that

~Samiah~It’s been days of driving, sleeping in the car, and surviving on snacks bought at gas stations. It isn’t the best situation, but I’m alive, and I’ve probably made it pretty far away from where I started. That’s about all I can ask for at this point. The music has helped keep my mind off of the things that have happened recently. It was working, and then the music stopped. I knew that was the first sign of trouble, but without the dedicated tools or time, there was no reason to stop and try to fix it. Now there’s some smoke coming from the engine. I know enough about cars to know that this is a very bad sign. I definitely need to find somewhere to stop and try to salvage the car. I had hoped that the work I did would be enough to keep it going, but I guess I can’t complain too much. A sign alerts me to a mechanic shop a few miles away. I send a silent prayer to the Moon Goddess, asking th

~Rain~The door opens in front of me, and the ladies walk through. These are some ladies I knew growing up. I won’t lie and say that we are close friends, but we know each other. I’m sure many are here to see what pack I mated into… you know, compare and contrast. Actually, if it weren’t for my mother, I wouldn’t be hosting this gathering at all. Most of these women are snobbish, like their own mothers and mine. We don’t really get along or communicate often with each other. When I found Andre, I was ecstatic, and it had nothing to do with him being an Alpha. Andre is a wonderful man and powerful wolf. Ario and Kyson are great too, and they create strong leadership. My mother didn’t care about any of that. She found out which pack he came from and was instantly unimpressed. Mother said the pack was too small and Andre held no real power. She said I should reject him and find someone who has more status. There was no way I was going to reject my fated mate, and every day I’m thankfu
