Fated to the Beta
Warning
This Book is Reverse Harem and Book 2 of the Fated Series. It cannot be read as a standalone. Book 1 is Fated To The Alpha.
Katya, the Beta’s daughter and the daughter of an infamous warrior mother, had high expectations for her life. When she doesn’t meet those expectations, her pack shuns her, forcing her and her family from the pack and forcing them to give up their titles. On a lie her mother told, they are forced to seek refuge in the only pack that would take them in. When Katya meets the notorious Alpha Ezra, will he find out about her shameful secret? What will happen when she finds out her new Alpha has a secret of his own, that she is his mate. Darkness looms when her old pack discovers they went to a rival Pack. What will happen when the Alpha realizes she has no wolf? Will he hand her back to the man that banished her or fight to the death to keep her?
“I am guessing by your aura you’re pretty damn angry,” I snort, folding my arms across my chest and looking out the window.
Kora paces angrily in my head, her anger just as piping hot as his. She feels betrayed that Ezra would prevent her from shifting. “He can kiss my furry white ass. He isn’t the only one that is angry,” Kora growls.
Ezra’s grip is so tight on the steering wheel that his knuckles turn white as he weaves in and out of the traffic like a lunatic before turning off on the back road leading to the packhouse.
“I didn’t think she would be a problem. I also didn’t notice she was one of your teachers, Kat,” he breathes out, his grip loosens slightly, yet, his knuckles are still pressed tightly under his skin, and his teeth are still clenched. I don’t know if his anger is paired with Maddox’s, but he has been quite temperamental for the past week.
“Bipolar much? The man has got problems, a few screws loose in that pretty little head of his,” Kora says, swishing her tail angrily. A raspy growl fills my head like a broken lawnmower, I can keep it from slipping out of my lips, but it doesn’t prevent her from giving me a fricking headache from the constant strangled noise.
“I get it, you’re pissed, I am too, but can you stop that? I need to be able to hear myself think, Kora.” She huffs at me in response and, if anything, picks the growling up another level. She deliberately knocks her tail in the small space, so a constant thumping joins her broken-ass growl-damn wolf.
“I will make sure she leaves you alone, or I can fire her if you want?” Ezra offers, finally sitting back in his seat in a more relaxed manner.
Too late now, there will be no point changing my teachers this far into the year, and firing her isn’t the issue. It is how she spoke to me, and he stopped me from calling her out on it. “No, I just don’t want her near you. She was almost sitting in your lap.”
“I have no interest in her. You are my mate: you and you only, Kat. I don’t want anyone else. And I told her to leave.”
“You should have commanded her to,” I correct him.
“I was diffusing the situation. I don’t like commanding people against their will.” Ezra keeps his eyes on the road and avoids my gaze, which makes me scoff.
“Yeah, but you have no problem commanding me, right? Should I start calling you Alpha again?” I snap.
“No, we are equals, I have told you that. You don’t get to call me that, and what did you expect? You were walking away from me!”
“Equals, yep, it felt really equal when you commanded me like fucking dog,” I snarl. He growls, but I am far past putting up with his or Maddox’s shit. “Shut it, Maddox. I am not in the mood to deal with your temperamental ass today,” I scold him.
“Kat!” Ezra growls in warning, and fur sprouts up his arms.
He suddenly jerks the car off the road and cuts the engine abruptly, his skin rippling as Maddox tries to force his way through.
“Maddox, stop it,” Ezra grits out, tossing his door open when Maddox forces the shift before he can even properly get out of the car. His clothes shred to pieces, his door still wide open as a feral growl rips out of him.
I quickly move, leaning over to close his door, and Maddox growls louder. My hand freezes on the handle before I sit back in my chair, letting his wolf have his temper tantrum.
Maddox’s teeth bared, he flexes his claws on the ground. He is pissed off and clearly doesn’t like being told to shut up. I unclip my seat belt, readying myself to jump out of the car if needed when he turns toward it.
“Kat?” Kora worries in my head.
I glance at Maddox as he stalks toward the car before charging at it.
“Oh shit!” Kora shrieks, trying to force me to shift. I shove her back. I am over his wolf trying to intimidate us all the damn time. Or maybe I am just so angry that it made me suddenly not care for his rage and turned me suicidal.
I point my finger at him. “No! I will get out. You will ruin his car!” I snap at him. He growls, his claws sinking into the leather seats before he backs up, and I glare at him before twisting in my seat.
I throw my door open while muttering to myself, only for him to stalk me around the side of the car.
Maddox snarls, snapping his teeth and pacing back and forth. His fur is all raised, and he keeps chuffing and snarling at me like some deranged bull.
My shoes crunch on the ground as I reach his side of the car when he charges at me. “Kat!” Kora shrieks.
My heart skips a beat when I suddenly remember what Ezra said, “Never run from him when Maddox has control,” so I do probably the most stupid thing I have ever done as he charges at me. I suck in a deep breath, praying my stupidity doesn’t get me killed, and I drop onto my ass, sitting on the dirt ground.
