THE BETA'S HUMAN MATE The Engagement Party
CHAPTER NINTEENThe Engagement PartyI hang on Dylan's arm as we enter. He really doesn't know what he's getting into.Kenzy, Dylan! You look lovely, dear. And you, Dylan - that suit is... quite original."I grimace at my mom.Does she have to start with the veiled insults the moment we walk through the door? I already know she prefers Raymond to Dylan.Probably because I limited the time she spent with Raymond for this very reason.Thanks, mom.Joseph comes to rescue us. ''Hannah s already here, she said she needs to talk to you when you get here."Dylan and I follow Joseph to the corner of the room, where Hannah is sitting by the snacks table. She winks at us. "Thought you might need a reason to getaway.Did we have to invite her?" I moan."She'd be crushed if you didn't, "Joseph points out. "Don't be too hard on her. She means well. She's just misguided."I know.," I sigh, and Dylan puts his arm around me.It's ok. This is what I signed up for, remember? It's just one night."No,
THE BETA'S HUMAN MATE We're Not Exclusive
CHAPTER TWENTY We're Not ExclusiveI get out of the car, holding my head high. "Raymond."What are you doing here so late?"My head is still buzzing with the argument with Dylan, and I can't think up anything better on the spot than the truth. "I fought with Dylan."Raymond's mouth twists in distaste at the sound of his name. "I never thought you two were right for each other. I couldn't believe it when I heard."*We are right for each other," I growl"Then what are you doing here?"He has me there.I...um..." Words aren't working for me. I stride over to Raymond and kiss him. He responds by wrapping his arms around me, kissing me back in a way that makes me breathless.He breaks away to lead me inside, closing the front door behind us.I knew you'd come back to me."His kisses, now on my neck, are distracting, but I know I have to focus."Raymond, wait. This isn't - I'm not coming back to you. If we do this, it's a one-time thing. We're not together."He pauses to look at me. "You t
THE BETA'S HUMAN MATE Time to Think
CHAPTER TWENTY ONETime to Think***KenzyI'll call you in a few days. I need time to think."Please don't take too long. I understand you're freaked out, but Derek is going berserk about this. I'll try to hold him off for as long as I can." He sentDylan's words do nothing to reassure me. Hold him off? What, exactly, is Derek going to do to me? Surely, Dylan wouldn't let anyone hurt me?How much power does he have over Derek?From what I've seen so far, Derek does what he wants, and Dylan is expected to follow orders.I spend the morning alternating between pacing and lying in bed, worries swirling in my mind.Will the police find the body? What will Derek do me? What do I want to do about Dylan?He's... he's a werewolf. I saw it with my own eyes.Werewolves aren't supposed to exist. They do. How does this change things between us?In desperation, I resort to Google. Unsurprisingly, Google doesn't have anything to offer that suggests that werewolves are anything more than fiction.I
THE BETA'S HUMAN MATE Please Don't Tell
CHAPTER TWENTY TWOPlease Don't TellHe's fiddling with his pants, but before he can get them undone, the man has suddenly ripped them away from me.I spin around in time to see something huge and furry atop him. It looks like a wolf, but wolves don't get that big.The wolf's long teeth sink into his skin, tearing his throat out.I realize I'm screaming hysterically, pressed against the car. The wolf looks at me and hesitates. Probably wondering if I'll make a good meal.It seems to decide that I'm not worth the trouble. It starts walking away.I'm sobbing, and I can't seem to stop.The wolf turns back to me.No, please, leave me alone. Eat the guy you killed, surely he's enough to fill your belly?I don't see what happens, even though I'm staring right at the wolf. Its shape seems to shift. The fur vanishes and it steps upright, shrinking as it does so.The wolf is gone. Dylan is in its place."Kenzy, it's ok." He takes a hesitant step toward me.I stumble into his arms, clutching at
THE BETA'S HUMAN MATE Better Off Not Knowing
CHAPTER TWENTY THREEBetter Off Not KnowingIn the time I hesitate, Dylan has changed the subject.So now you know what I am. Do you... do you still want to go ahead with the fake marriage? I must warn you, living together is more dangerous than us remaining friends since we'll be in close contact more often."For a split second, I wonder if I should press the issue of why he came back, but I decided that I'm better off not knowing.I'm done with digging up Roger's secrets.They hurt too much. I don't know if I can withstand another bombshell like this one.I trust you." That much I know for sure.Dylan doesn't seem as sure. "I don't know if you should."You've managed to control yourself so far.You've never hurt me. If it wasn't for you, I would have been hurt really badly."Dylan nods, but he doesn't look like he believes me.I lean back, thinking, that the silence is no longer awkward. If I'm going to do this, I want to be all in. I want to see Dylan, to know all of him. He's carr
THE BETA'S HUMAN MATE Mates for Life
CHAPTER TWENTY FOURMates for LifeThe footsteps start toward us.I glance at Dylan, unsure what to do. He hesitates for a moment before sweeping me up into his arms.He starts running, carrying me easily. I can't hear any sounds of our pursuers over the rushing wind through my ears.Dylan puts me down a few minutes later but doesn't speak, due to the fact he turns immediately into a wolf. I don't need to be told what to do. I leap onto his back and hold him tightly.We run through the game reserve, the scenery flashing by too fast to make out. Only when we finally reached the loose fence did we come in by.Are we safe?" I ask breathlessly as Dylan and I hurry to the car.We're safe. I definitely outran them, but they might still be searching the park. We should get out of here just in case. I'm sorry."So much for showing you that being friends with a werewolf could be fun."I find myself laughing. "Are you kidding?"That was awesome! Ok, so the nearly getting the caught part wasn't
THE BETA'S HUMAN MATE Inevitable
CHAPTER TWENTY FIVEInevitableTell me more about werewolves. I've tried to do my own research, but it's impossible to separate fact from fiction."It's been two days since I met Dylan's pack, and I still feel like I have a lifetime's worth of information to learn.Dylan hands me a plate with a still steaming omelet."Well, we spend a lot of our time together, pack bonding. That's why we all live in the same building. We go to the same game reserve I showed you yesterday to run together in our wolf forms."And the full moon?"I'm currently the only one in the pack who can't control myself, so there are plenty of other wolves to watch over me. I'm still chained up, though, just to be safe.""What about your work? I assume that's a front, right?"Correct. Werewolf packs go back generations. Most have accumulated a lot of money over the years. Our senses make it easy to tell when someone is lying - or to tell when they're feeling any strong emotion."That makes us pretty good at earning
THE BETA'S HUMAN MATE The Wedding
CHAPTER TWENTY SIXThe WeddingIs the back fine?"I twist around, trying to see the back of the wedding dress. The white, floor-length gown is made mostly of satin, but there are ruffles and lace ruffles all around the bottom hem and at the sleeves.It fits my body perfectly and shimmers slightly every time I move. There's a veil that matches the lace on the dress, but I'm wearing it so that it cascades back over my hair.I want Dylan to be able to see my face as I walk down that aisle toward him.Hannah moves the mirror a bit so that I can get a good view. "It's perfect. You look wonderful."I smile nervously. In just over an hour, I'll be marrying Dylan.And I still haven't told him.I remember that night when I knocked on his door. I was ready to tell him... but when I saw him smiling l warmly at me, I just couldn't do it. I chickened out. I didn't want him to look at me with anger.I told him I was done with my phone conversation and went to bed.I know, now. I'm not just falling
