Alpha King's Unmated Sister-in-law Chapter 51
That was not a voice Beth recognized. Her eyes widened, and she burst forward with a powerful sprint that nearly knocked the door off its hinges. Daniel was on her heels as she charged into the room, and before them both, an unfamiliar man sat next to Matthew's bed. Their heads whipped around."Oh? So these are the ones who found and took you in, Matthew," the man said. "I'm lucky that I caught you two before I had to leave again. I could only stop by briefly to see how Matthew was doing and heard you weren't in, Elizabeth, Daniel. I was told you wouldn't be back anytime soon, either."He stood up with a tired sigh and limped across the room toward them. If he was injured, it wasn't a serious one, or maybe he simply had a bad hip. Beth narrowed her eyes but accepted his trembling handshake. Daniel did not."Who are you?" she demanded. "Who allowed you inside? I mean no offense, but we weren't expecting visitors, so Daniel and I gave no permission to any of the guards to grant anyone
Alpha King's Unmated Sister-in-law Chapter 52
It was a nightmare. Beth had known the Heether pack house had become lax ever since their numbers had been destroyed after the catastrophic loss against the rogues, but how could she not have noticed this! Every Delta in the Heether pack house used to be known for their eagle-sharp ferocity and discipline, so much so that the reputation of the pack was the most fearsome among any. Even the Troy pack couldn't boast such a thing. They had far superior numbers from the beginning and more resources, but the Heethers had always had the edge when it came to combat, defense, and discipline when they were pit against each other pound for pound.And yet these past two days, Beth had been running herself ragged finding holes in all of that, weaknesses born from low morale and also the dark supposition pervading the Heether pack - that they were now so weak and inconsequential that they didn't even have to guard against anyone anymore. Who would bother coming after them now?Beth knew she had

"There was no post last night," said Daniel. "We have letters delivered in the morning."The lie fell apart as quickly as it had come, but Matthew didn't even have the shred of decency required to look contrite. "All right. The message was left for me under my window, squeezed in. I didn't want to worry you unnecessarily.""Unnecessarily!" Daniel's teeth ground against each other as he fought to control his anger. What was with the state of the Heether pack? How could intruders waltz into their territory, get past the patrols, and sneak up to the second floor to leave a message for Matthew Catii who was just a guest there? Their security was atrocious, but then again, the last two days that Beth had spent re-training the pack warriors couldn't possibly be enough to turn the discipline around yet. That would take time. Still, it enraged Daniel to no end. Was this not his house? Was this not his territory? "Next time someone slips past our guards, let us know," he said, and he didn't

"I've decided. I'll do it."Daniel had already known he would. If Matthew hadn't wanted to, he wouldn't have brought up the anonymous message in the first place. He could have burned in the fireplace or torn it up for no one to find. He had only taken an extra day to "decide" to keep up pretenses and - who knew, probably just to keep Daniel and Beth on tenterhooks for kicks.But he voiced aloud none of that. Beth was here, and she would want peace for the sake of the shaky alliance, not more infighting."You've saved me before and you're helping me again," Matthew continued, somber and composed. "So in return, after this, you have the support of my pack wherever and whenever you need them. I know my warriors are no match for yours or anyone's one-to-one, but you know I have plenty of resources to spare. What I lack in military prowess, I have business influence that will help you in whatever sphere you need resources for."Of course. The Catii pack's claim to fame was their too-keen b

Five minutes. She had left for five minutes so she could snoop around the town and look for safe exit routes that didn't pass by any other easy ambush points or other traps that could have been set in advance. There was no telling who was ally or enemy, after all, and she still doubted the sender of Matthew's anonymous letter. And after watching the outside of the pub for almost an entire hour and neither seeing nor hearing any suspicious activity from inside, she had told herself that five minutes away to do some actual belated reconnaissance would do no harm. After all, there were five Silver Nation werewolves guarding him, three of them Heether pack members and the other two from a sister pack, so what were the chances that all hell would break loose if she slipped away for a few minutes?Apparently, very high. She should have known to expect the worst no matter what she did, no matter how clever and strategic she thought she was being. Or maybe it wasn't her bad luck that she sh

The strength that had returned to Matt's body upon seeing Beth's face vaporized as soon as he lost sight of her through the billowing smoke that rolled across the street ahead and into the alleyway. Gone. Again. Every time she slipped back into his life, she slipped away just as quickly. Even the time he had spent at the Heether pack house in the same damn building with only a few walls between them at most, she was always out of reach.But he knew why. This wasn't eighteen-year-old Beth who would discover she was his mate and fall in love with him. This was the Beth from nearly ten years in the future who remembered everything Matt had done to her, the same Beth he had betrayed so many times and never paid for it, except in grieving his loss when he finally realized what he had done. She hated him. Or rather - she hated who she thought he would become.She didn't know he was the same Matthew Catii who had hurt her time and again until she breathed her last. That was his saving gra

"So why are they after you?""I don't rightly know.""Really? You have no idea?"The man shook his head, and Matt knew in an instant he was lying. Or at the very least, he had to have some suspicion. People didn't put up a dogged chase through smoke to mug a complete stranger. Had this man ducked into the chaos to try to get away from them, hoping to lose his pursuers in the mob? Not a stupid move, but unsafe considering he had been panting and heaving and taking in so much of the smoke. Matt could still feel the effects of inhaling it even now, even after his healing had kicked in to recover his lungs. Whatever those thugs were chasing after him with such single-minded devotion for, the man had to have an inkling about. A bit too old to be messing around with sisters and daughters. Maybe gambling debts?"Really," the man said at his long, skeptical stare. "I don't know. But I didn't want to stick around to find out. They were meaning to kill me no matter what I said or did.""Kill

Daniel was right to think something would happen, in the end. Beth had mastered stalking her quarry in the past life, but in the almost three seasons she had spent in this new one, she had become utterly out of practice. Perilously so. And she realized it only when the man stiffened, turned his head, and sniffed the air over his shoulder. She tried to slink back behind the closest corner only to find that they were both in the middle of a narrow brick alleyway, and there was no escaping detection.The smog that muddied the air was thinner than two and a half streets over where the flames had grown to a raging conflagration, and there was no hiding within it. Beth and the man locked gazes as he turned, and adrenaline thickened in her veins, warning her: fight.The man was trained. Highly trained. The span of time between the instant he saw her and the instant he leaped to attack was less than a second. He didn't just know how to fight; he lived like this, constantly struggling, consta
