The Beta: Part Two (The Beta, #2)

by Avanne Michaels

Everything feels like nothing and I want to be nothing, too. I'm not crazy, I promise. I just want to disappear.”

“I want you, you know,” I say softly, not letting up on my purr. “I want you, and I want him. I want you both. And I want this every night you'll let me have it.”

We'll be alright if we let ourselves be alright.

We will just have two equally precious treasures. And we will never come between you and Jasper. Did you know that we think you're mates? The true mates that people talk about but you never see anymore. We can all feel the connection he has to you through our bond with him.”

I was Talia's first lover. She gave me that precious gift and I've been hers ever since whether she wanted me or not. Her reasoning for leaving me, for my own good and the good of my pack, is logical but my heart refuses to accept it. Everything I am belongs to her, it was hers as a beta and it will still be hers as an omega.

The fact that his pack hasn't claimed her tells me that she isn't a priority here. I will make her my ultimate priority.

“Almost, tesoro, almost. Let me have just a bit longer to enjoy you,”

The question comes to my forethought again, who is putting her first?

I'm not counting my losses right now, tesoro, I'm reveling in my joy. That's what you are, my joy,”

I can't lose her again. I can't, I won't survive it. This is the second time in my life I have hated every molecule of omega DNA in my body.”

I was afraid that I would always love him more than he could ever love me.

“You're an omega, you're supposed to be a raging slut. I am, without doubt, a raging slut.”

I want to see your nest. I want to sleep in your nest with my pack for the rest of my fucking life, Talia.”

I can't wait to feel you, to be connected to you. I'll never have to go without you again.”

I promise I won’t mother him too much. Well, that’s a lie. I fully intend to mother the shit out of him,

“Jasper,” she purrs. “Yes, cupcake?” “Would you like a blowjob? Right now? One that Alex cannot participate in?” I mean…yeah. I’m a sad and scared, but I’m not stupid.

“Alex made Talia sit?” Devon asks. His words are thick and slow. The meds the doctors gave him must be making him drowsy. If I wasn’t so worried, I might think he was cute.

My sweet heaven. Devon is defending me.

Thank you again for staying with Devon. And for coddling him. I hope you’re coddling him.” “I’m coddling the shit out of him. He loves it.”

Reid tastes like he smells, like a salty breeze and warm sunshine.

You get used to seeing her jump over,” Corso says with a crooked smile, “mostly.”

Jasper is a slut for greasy, cheesy comfort food. A fact that I intend to take full advantage of.

I'm going to have to fall the rest of the way in love with her, I guess. I was already headed that direction, but after she rescued me, then saved me, and now giving me purpose and calm, I'll just have to love her.
