The Blessed Beta

"How do we have nothing?!?! We have been searching for weeks, going over every missing person's file with a fine toothed comb and we still have NOTHING!!" I yelled in frustration. How? How is this even possible?? I exhale loudly. “I am sorry guys. It’s not your fault this is happening. It’s just so fucking frustrating…” I growl and walk over to my office window. Our Alpha, Jericho, is out of town on pack business. I have been looking over the pack and everything has been smooth. But being in charge of this investigation is more stressful than anything I have ever done before. “Tora, it’s not your fault either. You nor Jericho can help that we have pack members going missing. It’s even a miracle that you noticed the pattern when you did. We are a big pack, man. It’s hard to tell who is leaving, or who has just passed away. There isn’t any way to tell that they have been kidnapped or just walked out of the pack.” Our Gamma, Cree, told me. “Cree, we have at the very least 7 pack memb

**UNKNOWN**Completely and utterly sore. That probably isn’t even the best word for it.My body feels broken. But that’s what happens when you literally work your whole life to make sure you survive in a pack that is supposed to take care of you.I moan slightly at the minor movements I am making to get to the hot bath I ran myself just now. My five foot four inch frame wasn’t made for this. My long brunette hair is matted and in knots on my shoulders, chunks of hair falling out. I can feel the bruising starting on my neck from being held down. My arms have visible finger bruises, so a long sleeve shirt it shall be today.Might even need a turtleneck.I feel one small tear fall from my eyes, I have come accustomed to my life. This isn't the one I wanted. I wanted to wait for my mate. I wanted to feel that unconditional love and adoration that came with a mate. But one thing I have been taught my whole life is I will never get what I want. And what I do get is what I deserve.I sweep a

**ESTELLE**Word is spreading fast about what the neighboring packs are having problems with missing pack members. I hate that their families are going through the pain of a loved one disappearing.And I know it is a horrible thing they are going through, but the only person that would miss me if I went missing is my Alpha. And that’s because I am his toy.But being the Alpha’s maid, I hear a lot. Luckily, the phone call to the Alpha made him quit his toying with me. And as soon as he left my side I cleaned myself. No one can know what the Alpha does. NO ONE. And I want NO ONE to smell him on me. Once the call was over he found me again, he gave me new orders. And I don’t know who was on the other end of that line but I’ll forever be thankful. Even though he might pick up where he left off later, at least for now I am safe. We have the Silver Shadow Pack coming tomorrow, and our packhouse has to be in tip top shape, or my punishment will be horrid. No picture can be crooked, no chai

**TORA** The closer I get to this pack, the more anxious I feel. A sense of urgency and need to be there right this second washes through me. But something else, those damn eyes.. That creature. 10 feet tall. Easily. looked a little thin, but still huge. Red glowing eyes, almost soft. Eyes like that could burn down the world, yet it looked like they were scared. What has a creature that huge, scared.. Pulling into the driveway of the pack house, Jericho pulls me from my thoughts. "I'll do most of the talking. Cree keep your sarcastic comments to yourself. And Tora.. Try not to lose your shit today. Okay? We have to vigilant to catch whoever is doing this to our pack. And we can't do that if Cree is pissing of the leaders, and you are trying to challenge everyone because you're frustrated. Got it?" He said with a half assed smile. I rolled my eyes and me and Cree, in unison, said, "Yes Alpha." with so much groan in both of our voices. Causing us to laugh altogether. But right befor

**TORA**Watching that bastard touch her, kiss her, even holding her hand was driving me crazy.Argos almost got out and killed him right where he was standing. But I had to hold my stance. The only way to figure this out without alerting the Alpha of my intentions was by telling Jericho she was my mate, and that I needed to speak with her without sending off warning bells to the Alpha.. And luckily it worked. Watching how her face fell when she realized who I was to her but didn't go to her. Watching her eyes light up seeing me, but then shut when she thought I didn't want her killed me. Watching her cower as soon as I ran to her, seeing her fall to her knees in fear that I would somehow attack her, broke my heart into a million pieces and made me wonder what could have happened to her to make her be that afraid. I saw how she clenched her eyes shut when Alastar kissed her cheek. It hurts me to think that someone has hurt her, but I don't think it would be the Alpha. At least I hop
