Beth Bear Novels & Stories

Then, not two seconds later, she tripped over her own feet, clutching at me like a child, and insisted, “See? I can walk perfectly. Better than you, Bryan. Much better.” She mumbled once more, eyes half-closed, her words slurred. “Don’t… don’t leave me, Bryan. You’re my husband, forever and ever… don’t leave me for Christiana.” Christiana! That name sent ripples down my spine! Oh heavens! The sound of the name made my heart beat so fast I lost stamina. Bella’s body gave out entirely, bouncing once against the mattress before she let out a ragged snore, all pretense of glamour stripped away in an instant.

I was too busy breathing, to even be sad that no one believed that I could do it. “All thanks to Felicia. It was a straight heart shot, in the first trial. I must say, she proves to be the alpha's daughter.” I couldn't help but smile when I heard him praising me so proudly. Everyone gathered around the bonfire. They all picked their favorite parts from the roasted deer. Of course, no one asked me what I wanted. “I'll take the plate from you, Beta.” Rebecca spoke as she came closer.

Beth said, wearing a slight grin on her face. Why is she suddenly speaking like Hannah? I wondered. The expression on my face changed completely after what she said. “So what you’re implying is for me to bear a child? Should be as easy as baking a cake!” Beth returned to her old self. “Amber? Do you want to know about me?” “Oh! Of course I would. Please, do tell,” I said as I sat properly. “I love sports! I love running! Sorry! You saw me sweating so much the first time we met. I just returned from my regular run. At night, I run around the palace forty times—”

"Back in your territory." Beatrice is an omega. They're shunned by society and can't hold any titles unless they're raised to the position of a gamma or beta. Here in the palace, they do the jobs no one wants to do — clean, scrub, help royals with chores they're quite capable of doing on their own.

Beth could see now with dispassionate eyes that she, too, had changed, more than she realized. Of course Beth was nothing like the weak, manipulable, gullible woman she had been in her first life, and of course she still had her doubts about Anna's miraculous change of heart over the last year.

" I almost choke on my coffee, then push the cup away from me before I can accidentally knock it over. "Bella really told you that?" Beth's grin has a definite feline quality to it now. "Of course she did - holding her sides, tears in her eyes, while managing to look horribly grossed out at the same time." "Ah, I know.

She pays attention to every detail, nothing escapes her inquisitive eyes, fine is not good enough for Bertha,” Alice explains looking anguished. “Bertha is… you mother-in-law?” Paula asks. Alice sneers. “No! Of course not. I am talking about Bertha Anderson, Major Anderson’s Bearer. She is old, so she no longer comes to the Bearer Center, but tomorrow they both are going to be here for Bearer’s Day, they never miss this events. Walter’s promotion depends on them. Bertha Anderson loves to find flaws in everything I do, she thinks that every mistake I make is an indicator that Walter is not fit to be Major… she is a nightmare,” Alic

“And what does ‘the rest’ entail?” Beth’s eyes glinted as she smiled—beautiful, composed, and dangerous. “Just make sure I know. That’s your job,” she said simply. “Mine is to make sure Katherine never gets to believe she won.” A click. The call ended. Beth stood motionless for a moment in the stillness of her lavish apartment, the soft hum of the city floating beyond the glass walls. She didn’t scream. She didn’t cry. She simply walked over to her vanity mirror, adjusted a loose curl, and reapplied a gloss to her lips.

Betty exclaimed. “I don’t care if you don’t support me” Bev said. “That girl did nothing to you. There’s no reason for you to end her life. Let her be in peace. You’re the one who is meant to move on and leave them be” Betty said. “Whose side are you on Betty?” Bev asked. “I’m certainly not on your side if you’re willing take a life for it” Betty said. “You’re not a best friend” Bev said, angrily got up and walked out.
