Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE: HIS FIRST LOVE
Jayden turned away from Alisa again, but this time he made no effort to hold back his tears.“I slowly built myself. I told myself I would never live as my father did, and I saw it as a promise to my father. I accumulated wealth and owned enough to be myself. By twenty I owned a comfortable house and a small car, but I knew stopping there would slow me down. I wanted to be bigger. And that was when I chose to achieve respect from my clan.”“What is this clan you keep talking about?” Alisa queried.Jayden paused, thinking of how best to satisfy her curiosity.“It is a family tie bound by secrecy. I don’t have to tell you.”“So what happened next?”“I distinguished myself during a festival, and that was where I met my wife.”Alisa inhaled sharply, and Jayden turned to look at her. His eyes were back to being cold and grey.“You were married?”“Yes. I was, Alisa.”She said nothing in reply, but it hurt. She did not know why exactly, but it hurt. Her mouth had no words to utter until she
Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR: THEEMOTIONS
They were lonely and both needed closure.Each of them had bared his soul to the other, letting them see how naked they were, stripped shamelessly by their sorrows.Jayden released Alisa from his embrace, wiped his tears, and ran his hand through his hair, a bit angry that he had let himself be too emotional with Alisa and let her see his weakness, but his anger dissipated when he saw Alisa’s tears.“My apologies, Miss Grant. I did not intend to remind you of Johnny so much.” He used his thumbs to wipe her tears and looked into her eyes, genuinely sorry that he had hurt her with his tales. She looked back into his, wishing he could read past her eyes and into her very soul. She wished he knew that she wanted to mean more than just Miss Grant to him. She wanted all of his attention, love and care. She wanted to be the only woman in his present and wanted him to forget about his past. She wanted to heal his wounds and kiss the scars.More than anything, she wanted to be one with him,
Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE: AT THE POND
The memory came alive in his headHe remembered his black paws in front of him as he watched through the bushes at the girl who had just come out of the water, naked and wet. He remembered watching because a kind of desire had come into his wolf body when he saw her.The kind of desire that had enveloped him the first time he saw Avana.Now, they were in the very same spots. He was where he stood in his wolf form that day, and she was standing just by the pond.He raised his eyes and looked at her, and in her, he saw Avana.A human Avana. Alisa’s white skin and Avana’s white fur.Alisa’s blue eyes and Avana’s blue before they mated.What he did not know was that Alisa could also recall the last time she had been here, standing face to face with a larger-than-life wolf that looked at her intensely. Somehow, she felt that Jayden was like that wolf. Both were bold and strong and powerful and...He went back to her, his body feeling weaker with every step, drawn to her and held in place
Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX: DYING AND LIVING
The speed Jayden drove to reach the hospital was faster than any he had driven at recently because he too wanted to see Johnny alive. It was like a miracle. Just that morning he had watched them pull the sheets over Johnny’s face. And now to see Johnny alive...He could feel his eyes sting. He had known the boy for a very short time and had even intended to kill him at a point, but now he felt a sort of close bond with Johnny.Maybe it was because he was beginning to love everything associated with Alisa.He drove into the hospital’s parking lot and ran out with her to find Johnny with an oxygen mask, taking deep breaths into his lungs. Alisa instantly burst into tears and kissed every part of him that his clothes did not.“You have always been a strong fighter, Johnny. For the third time you have won a battle against death.” She whispered after kissing his cheeks, her tears falling on his face.Everyone thought he had died till Stacy saw his hand twitch in the mortuary, and heard hi
Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN: JOHNNY'S HATE
Johnny spent two more weeks recovering, and during this time he became quite popular in the hospital. The story of him going from being taken to the mortuary to coming back alive and slowly getting strong became popular among the patients, and he brought some sort of hope to some.He received flowers and cards everyday, and even meals too, which kept him distracted, but not so distracted to not notice that Stacy and Alisa were fighting a cold war. They did not come so close to each other anymore, almost like they were avoiding each other.In the meantime, his sister drew closer to Jayden, talking to him and laughing like a silly schoolgirl. Leaning into him all the time, so much so that his sister was practically beginning to live in the man’s arms.As to the bruises on his sister’s skin, Johnny had a pretty good guess.They were not there the night before he fell into his deep sleep, a sleep that he had desperately sought to wake up from because he hated how dark and black everything
Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT: FIXING THINGS
Johnny was discharged two weeks later, and for some reason, Jayden insisted on driving them home in his expensive Mercedes Benz. He got his way as he was wont to, but when they reached home, it wasn’t what they knew.They had not been in it in almost a month, with Alisa spending most of her time at the hospital and sleeping in a near hotel with her clothes and bills sponsored by Jayden. Meals were also fully handled by him as they never really had any food at home, and so they expected it to be overgrown with weeds and dilapidated.But the house had been repainted, and for a moment Johnny asked if someone else had moved in or they had just gotten to the wrong house.Alisa was surprised too, but she had a hint as to what had happened.“Welcome home, Johnny.” Jayden smiled, turning to look at him in the back seat. “I had to do a little homecoming for you.”Johnny managed a smile. He did not like this and he still had not forgiven Jayden. They got out of the car and Jayden fell back and
Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE: FORBIDDEN SEX
The problem with jealousy is that it is like a piece of hot coal. You may forget about it and ignore it, but if you unknowingly add fuel to it, it births a fire that could burn you.While Alisa thought she and Stacy were over everything, her friend did not feel the same. The love Alisa and Jayden shared was becoming stronger by the day, and anyone looking at him could tell he loved Alisa and adored Johnny. There was no question about it. Stacy had now been relegated to feeling like she was a little more than a friend by everyone, and even though she paid regular visits, Alisa never stopped speaking about Jayden in her presence. Little by little, her jealousy that had gone from a burning fire to hot ash was now slowly burning again.She had helped Alisa secure the contract but now she was losing her friend, and a man she would have had if she had applied for the contract she gave away was slipping through her fingers. It was even hard to not think about him because Alisa was always
Her Beta's Heart CHAPTER FORTY: FULFILLMENT
Since the episode in the pond, Jayden and Alisa had not done so much as kiss each other. Alisa did not know why, but Jayden did.He alone knew he was not as human as other humans thought him to be. It had already taken him a lot to not bite or scratch Alisa as much as he wanted to, and to successfully hide himself as he morphed right behind her. He was not sure of how successful he would get this time.He had taken her out that night to watch the stars with her in his estate where they first met, and he knew he had no plans to have sex with her. All he wanted was a quiet soothing moment, and he wanted it with her.They sat together on the balcony of his roof, looking at the moon and basking in the moonlight."I love the moon so much, you know. It always feels like my parents are watching me from up there." Alisa started, moving her body close to Jayden's. She wanted him to cuddle her."My clan believes in a Moon Goddess. That's why the moon is important to me."Alisa turned to look a
