The Beta's Temptation
“I’m sorry, ma’am, but no one is allowed to see the Beta after sundown. Direct orders.”
The words hit me like cold water. “Since when?”
“Since… a while now.” His voice dropped, almost apologetic. “No exceptions. Not even the Alpha himself goes in after dark unless it's life or death.”
My stomach twisted. Life-or-death. That was exactly what this felt like.
“Please,” I said, stepping closer. “It’s urgent. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t.”
He shifted his weight, uncomfortable. “I’m sorry, Miss Esme. I really can’t. He made it clear—no one.”
