Closed Beta That Only I Played Novels & Stories

I finished across her stomach, marking her. Afterward she traced the scratches she’d left. “You okay?” “Yeah. Just… don’t want to lose this.” “You won’t.” We fell asleep tangled up, but I lay awake longer than usual. The next complication came from my side. My ex, Sarah, worked in the same tech circle. We’d stayed civil, mostly no contact—but she messaged me out of nowhere asking if I was still doing the *Eternal Realms* beta. Said she’d heard it was shutting down and wanted to compare notes on another project. I mentioned it to Riley over breakfast Saturday morning.

He had never missed a shot before. Jenin leaned in closer to Beta Callix, her gaze fixed on the unfolding scene. "I can't believe it," she murmured. "I've seen him play this game flawlessly for years. He never misses a shot." Callix furrowed his brow, a look of concern evident on his face, and nodded in agreement. "I agree," he replied. "There's something strange happening, Jenin. This isn't typical of Alpha Lucas at all." His eyes shifted towards the source of their concern, narrowing as he tried to comprehend the inexplicable turn of events.

"Cool. Thank you Jeff, I really appreciate it." It was not hard for anyone in the pack to find that Jeff is a nice guy. Especially when he kindly skipped the topic of me leaving the pack four years ago, even though it's a well-known fact. A fact that no one intended to mention, after all, my father is their alpha, and as the alpha's daughter, I gave up inheriting this pack. It was I, who abandoned my whole family. The Alpha’s daughter abandoned the responsibility of an Alpha,

Closing my eyes, I let myself relax as I let him comfort me and my breathing slowed to where I wasn’t struggling to take a breath. The sound of the doorknob trying to turn to open the door, pulled me from the calming state that Beta Shawn had just put me in, and he pulls away and says, “It’s just Alpha Chance.” He then moved to the door and unlocked it so that Alpha Chance could join us.

Jamie: My beta and I had been in the claiming for a few minutes waiting for the claiming to start, Lloyd, Alpha Bellini’s Beta was already there and beta Andrew, the future beta of Echoed Moon Pack, I did expect him to arrive, earlier than us, but like Nicole, he is punctual. One thing, I admire about the Echoed Moon pack, they are always punctual and reliable, and everyone supporting me was there except Callaghan, I didn’t get any information from him, so I just assumed he was not coming.

He is older and so much wiser and his vicious heart is on the next level. "Move forward" Valen barks the command into the microphone boom which is still in front of his mouth even with the phone pressed against his ear, speaking to the two in the beta family who are still in position instead of the woman who still seems to be mid-sentence. Tatum and Trip jump as if they never thought this moment would come. They hadn’t been spoken to in so long, just listening to the one-sided conversation since Valen didn’t even have the foresight to put it on speaker.

I left before she could respond. The corridor outside was empty. I made it three steps before I had to stop, press my hand against the wall, and breathe through the tightness in my chest. She’d made her choice. I’d made mine. In a week, I’d return from Shadowmere. Would stand beside Kade at that ceremony and watch him reclaim her. Would bury whatever I’d felt for her so deep it could never surface again. Because I was the Beta. And that was all I could afford to be.

A tremor runs from my hand up my arm and directly to my dick. Wow. “This one,” she says, looking up at me through inky lashes. I shift in my seat, trying to bring my body under control, and turn up my palm. It’s the gray pawn. “Black.” I turn the board so that the gray chess pieces are in front of her. “Okay. I’ll start.” Four moves in and I’m dragging my hands through my hair. “As usual, you’ve been holding out on me, haven’t you?” My tone is wry.

I was raised to be a beta, and I had never felt the need to rise above the rank of second in command. I was a good advisor. An Alpha had to stand in the middle of the crisis. I was able to step away and look at it from a distance before choosing the right solution. Even when I was replacing Tyrion, sitting behind his desk for months, I could only work my ass off knowing it was temporary. It was as if my ambitions faded away as soon as I got my Beta position. But that was before I died...

y'know A frown quickly crept up Beta Red's lips as he walked closer to me. Am guessing he's pissed off ..and I understand why. I can't say I fully understand but... from what I've deduced,the sweet beta now sees me as a little sister Am not getting over my head or something but am just saying what I feel. He acts so caring and our relationship is plain platonic I've heard from some bitvhy she-wovles he's a playboy... but I really can't say it's true
