Not just the Beta (Oriana and Slade) novel Chapter 10

Oriana

She smiled at Lindal as she watched her once again run from her Mate a week later. They were marked and mated, and he was still having to chase her around the pack. The girl was all into him, but had told Ori he was too much sometimes, completely insatiable and just couldn’t bloody keep his hands to himself. She was naked within minutes of him getting back from training.

Ori had laughed at her, was currently laughing at her, as were Palmer and Yuri, for that matter. “She’ll be knocked up before the next full moon is even here.” Yuri chuckled.

“I hear he wants a full litter of little elite warriors.” Palmer snorted.

“No wonder she’s running the hell away.” Yuri laughed now.

“Mate bonds are crazy weird.” She’d shaken her head and both of them had just looked at her with a raised eyebrow “What?” she asked.

“Come on, Ori, you don’t think any mate of yours isn’t going to be just like that?”

“I’ll out muscle him whoever he is.” She smiled, “He’ll do as he’s told, and I ain’t popping out a freaking litter for no wolf.”

They were all laughing and laughed even more when they saw Beckham strolling back through the pack with Lindal tossed over his shoulder headed back to their house. “Thanks for the help.” She yelled at them “What’s the good of being friends with the Alpha’s unit if you aren’t gonna help me.”

“He’s your Mate, tell him no.” Ori yelled back as they continued on. She wasn’t worried, knew Lindal was actually happy and her parents both liked Beckham too. He was a good mate. It was just a new bond, nothing she didn’t see every time there was a happily mated pair around the pack. Sometimes it was the she-wolf hunting her man, which was also funny.

It was only a matter of time before Lindal went into heat and Beckham would have all he wanted of her and calm down after a week of hot demanding s*x from his Mate; likely he’d be all worn out and the problem solved. She’d seen it many times before over the years, they all had, it was nothing unusual to wolfen eyes.

She was sparing in the gym a day later; it was bucketing down outside and training had been moved indoors. She didn’t mind, it was a nice change of pace. Though she still had Hayden training with them, and he’d now been pulled into line by Alpha Roman and her father, because Palmer himself had snarled at the boy to pull his head in. Told him that he wasn’t the future Beta, and actually put in a full formal complaint about the boys’ constant disrespect towards the future Alpha Units leadership.

Now the boy was just sulking, and had actually refused to train at all today, so she’d dismissed him on the grounds of being a petulant little boy, who couldn’t take his licks, and that had set him off into a rage.

They were now fighting it out, the two of them in the gym, Beta-blood to Beta-blood, her verse’s her little brother and actual full on fist fight. Hayden was taller and bigger than her, had those Beta muscles coming in, but he lacked restraint and control, was all emotional in this fight. She put that boy down face first on the ground and rolled her aura right at him to force him to submit. She was fully realised, unlike him, he was still under 18, and her aura was stronger than his was.

Her father and Alpha Roman hauled her up off of him, yelling about what the hell was going on, and all four of them got hauled into the Alpha’s office. She didn’t say anything other than “He didn’t want to train. I dismissed him for sulking about getting in trouble, and he attacked me.”

The boy couldn’t even deny it, she had both Palmer and Yuri as witnesses and the boy got put in the cells for the rest of the day for his behaviour.

“Ori, this has to stop.” Alpha Roman stated flatly, “you and Hayden need to sort this s**t between you out, and get over it.”

“Please Alpha tell him that I am the rightful Beta Heir. Slade has told everyone that, including Hayden himself, that I will be next to him, not Hayden.”

She watched Alpha Roman sigh and just nod, “I’ll speak to the boy…but.” he looked right at her “He still needs Alpha unit training.”

“What for?” she asked.

“Because Ori, with every full moon there’s a risk of you being mated off out of this pack.”

“My Mate can come here.” she told him.

“And what if he’s an Alpha wolf?” Roman asked right back.

“He won’t be,” She stated simply.

“You’re a pure-blooded Beta line female, it’s actually quite possible, plausible even. So he needs training to replace you when it happens.”

“Then why can’t you and father put him through training?”

He sighed and looked right at her, looked exasperated, she thought. “He needs to bond with Palmer and Yuri, like you have, so he can slot in easily.”
