Life & Beth Review Novels & Stories

~Marcie~ I walked out of the exam room with Sarah beside me. Her vibrant aura radiated from every inch of her figure; she exuded warmth and confidence. Her bright smile and bright eyes seemed to light up the entire hallway, and even though the exam we had wasn't all that, Sarah just had a way to make things feel good and hopeful.

Sure enough, she couldn't stand the bleakness of the frontier and hightailed it back to Riverton in no time.

The domestic task was comfortingly normal after the emotional complexity of the afternoon. "I should warn you," I said as I patted Lucas's back gently, "there's likely to be some gossip around town after Amber and I were seen talking. Riverside isn't known for its privacy." Beth waved a dismissive hand. "Let them talk. Anyone who matters knows the truth of the situation. The rest is just noise." The philosophy summarized Beth's approach to pack life perfectly—pragmatic, focused on what truly mattered rather than peripheral drama. It was an attitude I had always appreciated and tried to adopt during my time in Riverside.

And two, I need to prove myself worthy as a Beta. Yeah, me, Jericho and Cree have been bestfriends since we were kids, but that doesn’t change the fact that I need to show Jericho that he made the right choice picking me as his right hand man. I don’t want to be Beta because I was the Alpha’s best friend. I want to earn that title beyond my friendships. ‘What are you thinking about over there, Tora?’ Cree asks without breaking his run in his wolf’s, Cedric’s, sandy blonde form.

"Kid? Oh, he's the Harris family's golden boy, alright. He knew his stepmom was the black sheep, and that he could be as mean as he wanted to her without anyone batting an eye. "And so your darling son, when Emma was at her lowest, shattered her will to hang on." "I had no idea, I swear I didn't know she was ill, that those goldfish were so important to her," Chester sobbed uncontrollably. "How could you be clueless?" I snapped, staring him down. "Weren't you aware of her life with the Harrises? She was called Mrs. Harris, but no one gave her the time of day, cared about how she felt. Even the fancy clothes and jewels in the closets were just for show, on loan to make her look the part.

Janet "Sorry Bee, I was going to call you too, but I decided to leave it till tomorrow.

Alley POV: I was finishing the last touches when Beth poked her head in my door, "Beth! It is so good to see you, how are you?" I asked, hugging her. She has been so busy with her son and helping Alex and Jenson with their kids that I don't get to see her as often anymore. "I know, I'm sorry but things are good. Watching that many kids along with everything else tends to be a handful." Beth laughed. "Don't apologize, trust me when I say I understand what it is like to stay busy." I replied with a smile. "Are the kids already with your mom? I know Jackson took Artemis and Ari early this morning." Beth asked. "Yes, Stephen should be on his way back by now. I'm not really sure what to expect ou

Matthew and Mike talked about visiting some car dealerships next week, listening to which Thomas was speechless. Soon, they arrived at a restaurant stylized as a French bistro. They were welcomed by the owner himself. “Luke White! Famous celebrity nutritionist.” Thomas couldn’t hide his excitement. He regularly watched his YouTube channel, followed his blog, and watched all TV programs in which he participated. Luke was definitely a bigger celebrity than Julian; he was a real big fish. “In person! Hi, Luke!” Matthew greeted his friend. “Nice to see you, guys. Where is our todays’ celebrity?” Luke asked.

"The subject never came up. And since I´ve been with the two of you, always I could enjoy living in the present, or even better, look to the future. I never needed to think about the past...." Beth stands up suddenly, her chair scraping back. "Enough, you men! Leave her alone. She´s had enough without you digging and probing... Let her enjoy her meal."

Carrie asked, licking her own spoon. "I don´t know, but you should see their Beta! My panty dropped, piercing blue eyes and chiseled jaw! Total eye candy, someone who would bang you real good! And I won´t mind if he does it to me! Come on! You both should go and see!" Her voice was too excited. My spoon got stuck midair at the mention of Beta and her description of him.
