Taming His Beta General
"I won't accept your rejection, Lorraine. You are the one I want."
"Then you are as mistaken as the Moon Goddess. I am not fit to be anybody's mate. I... I am a killer. It is what I do."
"I understand. You are a soldier. Which soldier has not killed to protect? I will never hold that against you."
"Wrong. I am a cold-blooded murderer. Being a soldier is just the perfect excuse."
***
Lorraine Spears has spent most of her life as a rogue, surviving by her wits and strength. When devastating war gave her a chance to join the coalition army, her fate became entwined with the alpha queen, Athena. Rising from a mere rogue to right-hand general and beta of the queen's pack, Lorraine lives for duty alone. Yet beneath her stoic exterior, the past haunts her.
Then the Moon Goddess plays her hand, mating Lorraine with the most infuriatingly arrogant alpha she has ever met. Determined to resist him, Lorraine refuses to let a fated mate distract her, while Logan refuses to let her go.
Just when she thinks she might have paid enough for her past sins, bloodcurdling vengeance returns, and everything she thought she knew about her family is revealed as a lie. Reeling from betrayals, unexpected new family, and an obsessed enemy on her heels, Lorraine must decide whether to trust a bond that threatens her clarity or embrace her predicted happily never-after.

She looked around to see that she was walking past the dining room without acknowledging the queen, who was seated on the alpha consort's lap while they fed each other.
Just beyond the table were the three bassinets that held their triplets. The babies Athena had almost lost.
"One more reason to skin Lance alive," Lorraine thought, even as she berated herself for letting her thoughts take her mind off her surroundings.
"My queen." She bowed slightly in greeting as she entered, acknowledging Raymond with a bow too.
"Join us," Athena gestured to the spread of savoury breakfast in front of them.
Lorraine's stomach growled because she had not eaten much at dinner the night before, while Logan's gaze was pinned on her like a brand.
But sitting out here now meant risking him catching up with her and trying... whatever with her again.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, but I am actually not hungry yet. I will just get something later," she responded hastily.
"Oh, okay then," Athena replied, to Lorraine's relief.
She was already turning away when Athena's voice stopped her. "You know what you need, Lorraine?"
"What, my queen?" She turned back with a questioning look.
"A holiday", Athena declared cheerily.
Even her stoic expression did not stop the surprise from showing on her face as she echoed, "A holi...?"
"Yes. Raymond and I were just talking about it. You've worked diligently all these years, Lorraine. Through the war and even after. Yet you've never taken a day off for yourself. It's high time, don't you think?"
Athena's smile contrasted sharply with the strange feeling stirring within Lorraine. A feeling like she was no longer needed.
"But I don't want a holiday," she said tersely. Then she immediately schooled her tone when Athena's smile dimmed slightly. "I mean, there is still a lot going on right now. Lance..."
"...will be dealt with. Just as the other things too. I don't see why that should stop..."
"But I am your beta. My place is by you. I don't... don't make me take a holiday, my queen. I..."
"Oh, there you are." Logan's scent assaulted Lorraine's nose even as his voice interrupted her.
Her hands curled into fists by her sides as she turned to him in frustration.
"Leave me alone," she screamed at him in her head, but he barely glanced at her before turning back to Athena, a serious look on his face.
"Sorry for interrupting this, but..."
"Oh, he knows how to apologise," Raymond, who had started off on the wrong footing with Logan, muttered just before he popped a grape into his mouth.
He grunted as Athena elbowed him lightly in the stomach, even as she smiled at Logan. "No, it's fine. What's going on?"
Ignoring Raymond's taunt, Logan responded to Athena. "I need to leave, Athena."
A hard thump hit Lorraine's chest as she watched his lips move.
"Something's come up in my pack." His gaze darted to Lorraine, and she looked away.
Still, she could feel his lingering gaze on her as he continued, "I have to handle it."
Athena immediately got off Raymond's lap and came towards Logan, ignoring her mate's grunt of displeasure as she asked, "I hope it's nothing serious? Is there anything I can do to help?"
"No." Logan smiled. "This I must take care of."
"Oh, alright then. You must leave at once. I will tell Greta and..."
"No, let them stay." He shook his head, referring to the midwife and nanny who had handled Athena's childbirth. "I saw her heading to the clinic earlier. I think she and your pack healer are getting along well."
"True. Carmen mentioned learning from Greta's experience. We don't have resident midwives, so I suppose Greta's traditional ways have been helpful these past days."
"But she belongs in your pack. I can't keep..."
"She can come later. Let her treat this as a kind of holiday."
"Thank you," Athena said with a fondness that made Raymond's brows pucker. Then she suddenly beamed as she looked at Lorraine.
Lorraine was already dreading what she would say as Athena clapped her hands excitedly. "Speaking of holidays, Lorraine just got one. I think she has been on the clock for so long that she does not know what to do with free time."
Something close to dread bloomed in Lorraine's stomach as she saw the realisation, mingled with a blooming smile, spread across Logan's face even before Athena declared, "This is perfect."
"My queen, no... I can't..."
"You might not even have so much free time on your hands, I think. Logan might need help with whatever he is going back to handle. You know how I rely on your skills in handling situations. Do this for me, okay?"
Lorraine felt like a trap had just shut on her when she looked from Logan's barely concealed smile to Athena's hopeful expression. "My queen, you know I can't deny you anything, but..."
"Perfect. You are the best." Athena kissed her cheek and turned to Logan. "You will want to leave immediately, right?"
"Yes."
"Then get to it. Bye, Lorraine." Athena waved airily, turning away from Lorraine in dismissal.
"My... I..."

My fiancé always told me he loved me. But not long after our engagement, I woke up suffocating in the dark.
He was pressing a pillow over my face, his eyes cold and dead, while my half-sister stood by watching with fake pity.
They had orchestrated everything just to steal my trust fund.
It all started with a massive hotel scandal. They had drugged me, thrown a cheap escort into my bed, and brought a mob of paparazzi to ruin my reputation.
When my fiancé broke through the crowd, playing the heartbroken victim, he knelt down with a massive diamond ring.
"I know things have been hard, but I love you. If you come home with me, I will forgive all of this."
In my past life, I cried tears of gratitude and let him slide that ring onto my finger.
That ring sealed my death warrant. I lost my company, my dignity, and eventually, my life.
Until my lungs burned and my heart stopped, I didn't understand.
How could the people I trusted most plot my murder so ruthlessly?
Why did they have to tear my entire life apart?
Opening my eyes again, I was back on the morning of the hotel scandal, exactly one year ago.
But the man lying bare-backed in my bed wasn't a random escort.
It was Johnathan Chase, my family's biggest corporate rival and the most ruthless predator on Wall Street.
Listening to the paparazzi pounding on the door, I smiled coldly.

Clara's husband of three years walked into their penthouse with two lawyers.
He threw a divorce agreement on the table, demanding she sign away all her assets. If she refused, he would bankrupt her family and send her mother to federal prison.
He did it all for his new girlfriend, Corinne. After stripping Clara of everything, Kane stood by while Corinne publicly humiliated her, stepping on her fingers and mocking her misery. When Kane suspected Clara might be pregnant, he dragged her to a private clinic. He forced her onto an examination table and ordered a deeply invasive medical check-up, treating her like absolute garbage just to ensure she wasn't carrying his heir.
Lying on the cold medical bed in a thin paper gown, Clara's heart completely shattered. She didn't understand how the man who once promised her forever could turn into such a ruthless monster. She was indeed pregnant, but she knew if he found out, he would steal her baby and destroy her completely.
With the help of a tech-genius friend, Clara faked a negative test result and escaped his clutches. The next day, she walked into their company, threw a bold "I QUIT" note right in the mistress's face, and walked away. Touching her belly, Clara swore she would return to make them pay for every single thing they had done.

Eighteen months ago, the man I loved shattered my heart, claiming everything between us was a mistake. Now, he's back, a ghost of his former self, a rookie tryout in my pro esports team. And I will make him regret crawling back.
Clifton, captain of a legendary esports team, was secretly battling a severe wrist injury that threatened his career, every match a fight against his own body. He pushed through the pain, ignoring doctors' warnings, desperate to maintain his god-like status.
His world was already on the edge, but nothing prepared him for seeing Justice Terry again in the team basement. Justice, pale and trembling, his eyes wide with naked terror, was now a rookie tryout.
Clifton had spent a year and a half trying to forget that rainy Chicago alley, the raw revulsion in Justice's eyes, the whispered "it wasn't real" that had left him heartbroken. Justice had vanished, and Clifton had erased every trace. Now, the boy who once looked at him like he was the sun was back, flinching at his touch, displaying a deep, primal fear. Amidst sponsor pressure and whispers of being "washed," Clifton saw Justice's return as a chance for vengeance. He publicly humiliated Justice on a live stream, forcing him into a suicide mission, then coldly benched him.
Yet, the satisfaction never came. Instead, a hollow emptiness and a torrent of questions: What had truly happened in the past? Why was Justice here, and what trauma had carved such fear into his bones?
Clifton, unwilling to be fooled again, swore to uncover every secret and every lie. He would force Justice to explain why he had returned, even if it meant tearing down everything they both had left.

"Fuck...please..."
He risks a nibble, sending shockwaves to my core. My back arches off the wall with a sharp moan.
His hand slides between my legs, cupping my soaking panties.
"Look how wet you are," he whispers, "...shaking, and I haven't even fucked you yet."
He strokes my clit gently first, then harder. My toes curl, hair spilling into my sweaty face.
He's breaking me, ruining me with just his tongue and fingers. I can't speak. I can't think. I just tremble in his arms.
*********
The night I caught my fiancé cheating, something in me broke.
I cried.
I screamed.
I drove - into the rain, into nowhere, into him.

One night was all it took. One reckless mistake to burn away my heartbreak.
Until he showed up at my mom's wedding...
As my new stepbrother.
Now, Cassian won't stop.
He corners me in hallways, whispers filth at the altar, and looks at me like he still owns my body.
But there's one thing he didn't tell me-
He already belongs to someone else.
A fiancée bound to him by a contract... and a secret that could destroy us both.
He's dangerous.
He's forbidden.
He's promised to another.
And God help me, I still can't stop wanting him.

"They were supposed to hate me. All four of them. But the Moon Goddess doesn't make mistakes, she just has a twisted sense of humor."
-----
"Let me die free rather than live as his possession."
Those were Lyralei Ravenwood's last words before she jumped off Widow's Cliff, choosing death over marriage to a monster hiding behind a charming smile.
She should have died.
Instead, she wakes in the camp of the Four Great Alphas..the most powerful, dangerous men in the ancient werewolf world. Men who look at her with resentment. Men who make it clear she's not welcome.
The Moon Goddess sent her to unite them against a rising darkness.
But they don't want unity. They don't want her.
Lyra didn't ask to be sent anywhere. She just wanted to escape a cage.
Now she's trapped with four hostile Alphas who see her as an obligation rather than a person. Who resent every breath she takes. Who make it clear that prophecy or not, she will never command their loyalty.
But something is awakening between them. Something ancient and undeniable.
The Primordial Mate Bond-a force that links one soul to multiple Alphas, pulling them together whether they want it or not.
As shadow wolves attack and an ancient evil rises, Lyra must navigate not just war, but the far more dangerous battlefield of four hearts that were determined to hate her.
