Rejected the Alpha but Dated His Beta #Chapter 65 - Shopping Clears the Mind
ShirleyMy question has still gone unanswered even days later. In fact, the last time I saw Keith was when we met in his office with the nanny, but upon hearing my question he had eventually thanked the woman, said goodnight, and excused himself.I understand though. As I acknowledged before - I’d presented Keith with a whirlwind of information in mere hours, and now he’s probably trying to take it all in. Still, it makes me feel as though I’ve been left in the dark, causing me to do nothing but work and eventually go to sleep with a restless mind.However, today I can’t stay cooped up inside. I need to get out and escape my thoughts a little - especially the memory of that fierce kiss as it tries to stay fresh in my mind. Only, I find for once I don’t care to venture around the town alone - I’d rather have someone tag along.I consider Ruth at first, but she seems to be busy with her own tasks, considering I haven’t really seen her lately. I also think to ask Ron, but then decide I’d
Rejected the Alpha but Dated His Beta #Chapter 66 - Joining the Search
ShirleyGwen. They took Gwen. It’s hard for me to believe that such a smart and cunning woman could be taken by the abductors, but it appears that it can happen to anyone. It could have even happened to me if I’d taken the wrong route because…“I was just with Gwen,” I murmur.All at once, I feel all eyes in the room turn in my direction, the conversations ending as the ringing in my ear subsides. And yet, I can’t bring myself to raise my head as I think of Gwen, imagining someone grabbing her around a corner when she’d had her guard down. I nearly shiver at the thought.However, I’m met with a warmth instead as a hand falls on my shoulder. I don’t even have to look over to know it’s Keith who is now at my side.“What happened?” he asks softly, as if I’m fragile. And maybe I am. I feel like any moment I may collapse.But instead, I shake my head slowly. “Nothing,” I admit. “We were shopping at the mall and everything was normal. And then we went our separate ways...that was only an ho
Rejected the Alpha but Dated His Beta #Chapter 67 - Sniffing Out a Rogue
Shirley“What are you talking about?” I ask, standing from the bed as I hear Emma take a small gasp from her end of the phone. However, Keith is already silencing her as he hangs up the phone.He’s then pacing, holding my phone in his hand as he still grips it firmly within his large hand. There’s murder in his eyes as he breathes heavily.“Each time there’s been a report of a kidnapping, my team has gone to the location where the victim was last seen,” Keith tumbles out. “And that symbol has been left behind every single time. After you left the forest, we found it carved into one of the trees.”“So this man…” I begin, my head filled with a cocktail of emotions. “Is tied to the kidnappings?”Keith lets out a harsh breath from his nose, wildly shaking his head in frustration. “It appears so,” he confirms.“But that also means,” I start again, feeling terror rising up from my stomach. “That Ralph…”Keith pauses then, coming to a firm stop a few feet away from me, though his deadly gaze
Rejected the Alpha but Dated His Beta #Chapter 68 - Bring Them Home
ShirleyEverything happens so fast. One moment, I’m standing within Keith’s living room, swallowing down terror as we all soak in the truth. But then the next, I’m in Keith’s car, silent as he speeds through the town.We’re headed to Ralph’s, ready to confront and capture him after everything we’ve finally confirmed. I can tell Keith is pent up with rage, but he’s keeping himself collected despite going ten above the speed limit.Due to Keith’s swift driving, we reach Ralph’s home in no time, believing he’s inside as he wasn’t reported at any of his other usual locations. Parking, I’m a step behind Keith as he jumps out and leads the way to the door.Maybe it was foolish to think our crew would merely ring the doorbell or be civil, which causes my eyes to widen as Keith immediately starts slamming against the front door with powerful kicks. Sure enough, within a few tries, the door gives with a crash.Keith and the other men file in like a Swat team, storming into the house as they’re
Rejected the Alpha but Dated His Beta #Chapter 69 - A Second Chance
ShirleyIt seems everyone can breathe a little easier now that the pack has been able to put an end to the kidnappers. Keith spared his mom and I most of the messy details, but all I learned was the Hollow Shadows had been keeping a base outside of town and hadn’t been prepared for Keith’s raid. Though - unfortunately - Ralph hadn’t been among them.There’s been no sight of Ralph anywhere, even as Keith extended a report outside of town. It’s almost like the man has disappeared the same way Anya had - even if Anya isn’t real.Still, now that we’ve all settled one problem, the pack has shifted their attention back to the company’s IPO. We’ve been in meeting after meeting over the last few days, talking about nothing but business.I’m excited that the company is moving along, especially as I see the wolves’ smiling faces as we cross more needs off the list. But I can’t deny the remorse that also meets me as we move toward the finish line.But I’m also indifferent as I consider another m
Rejected the Alpha but Dated His Beta #Chapter 70 - Cicy’s Revelation
ShirleyLife has returned to normalcy again - and although I know I should be grateful - I can’t help but feel I’m on the edge of my seat waiting for something else to go wrong. It’s all just too perfect, between Ron and Jean’s new relationship and the steadiness within the company’s arrangements. It’s like I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop.I’m led to assume Keith feels the same way whenever I see him. He’s relaxed, yet cautious - his eyes always going toward the door during meetings as if he’s waiting for someone to barge in with bad news.And maybe I am too, because as I hear a knock on my door tonight…my stomach nearly drops. Heart in throat, I go to answer the door, surprised when I find Keith standing there - though my skin buzzes at the sight of his semi-fancy clothes.“Going somewhere?” I ask, tearing my eyes from the black button-up shirt that fits him perfectly.“Yes, actually,” Keith responds. “My parents and I were going out to dinner.”“Sounds fun,” I state. “Did you
Rejected the Alpha but Dated His Beta #Chapter 71 - Loss of Power
ShirleyNo.No. It’s impossible.You’re wrong, I tell Cicy, my body beginning to shake. There’s no way.I can sense it, Cicy tells me in return, unbothered by my efforts to calm her.He can’t be, I insist. You’re just confused.That’s all this was - confusion. Cicy had to be mistaken, misreading signs. And maybe she was just hopeful due to the other mating bonds we’d witnessed lately - even Jean’s that we literally watched snap into place. However, Cicy’s excitement over Keith’s possibility of being my mate formed my own confusion.For years - or even for as long as I could remember - Cicy and I had been in agreement that mating bonds were a waste of time. Neither of us wanted one, and now she’s singing a different tune, disrupting our peace.It’s nothing, I tell her then. Just confusion.I’m not confused, Cicy snaps back, but still I’m not convinced. His scent, his touch. I can’t resist its temptation - even if it's vague.Vague. I hold onto that word, Cicy’s admittance. It’s all I c
Rejected the Alpha but Dated His Beta #Chapter 72 - Undeniable Lust
KeithThe house was quiet as Keith sat in his office, drinking from a glass filled with the last of his scotch. Usually, he wouldn’t make a habit of drinking alone, but tonight the alcohol felt necessary.He felt run down in every sense of the word - though, he’d never admit it. So much had occurred over the previous weeks and it was moments like these where everything caught up to him.Only, he couldn’t ignore what captured his thoughts tonight, had his vision glazing over as he looked at nothing in particular. Instead, he was met with images of Shirley as the woman’s face took up every inch of his mind.“Stop!”The way she’d thrown out the word the previous night had struck him straight to his chest. Her voice had been so raw, anguished. And he still didn’t know what he’d done to cause it.However, that wasn’t even the oddest thing about the whole occurrence. No - Keith was still left in confusion as he remembered what else had happened during Shirley’s struggles. As she stood withi
