Chapter 31

: BETA DOMINIC.

I was driving on the free highway at three oʻclock in the morning as I made my way back to the territory.
I followed the Alpha’s advice and went out, trying to ease the annoyance of being the only one left
unmated residing at the pack house. I didn’t have any plans to go out tonight. I was serious when I told
Alpha Riley that I would spend the night looking up at the moon, but then the Alpha and his Gamma
decided that tonight was the best time to leave their windows open so the whole pack house ground
could hear their females while they satiated their heat.

It was torturous. Not that I got aroused, but it left me with a pang of pity for myself. I’m 23, the same
age as the Alpha, who hasn’t found his mate yet.

I wondered if I would meet her one day or if I just had to content myself with a chosen one. A chosen
one isn’t bad. In fact, I already know who I want.

Janna.

Alpha Jacob’s half-sister. But the problem was, I felt she didn’t feel anything for me. I knew who she
wanted. I saw it in her eyes, but I was just trying to shrug it off. There was no way Gamma Aaron,
Alpha Jacob’s Gamma, would be able to claim her.

But I saw it, the way her eyes narrowed while watching the waitress at the restaurant flirt with Aaron the
last time we went together. And how her eyes lit up when she was talking to him.

She wanted him. I was just not sure about the Gamma. He was a fucking flirt, the real definition of a
fuckboy. Janna was better off with someone else.

Me? Of course, I was hoping for that. I let out a deep sigh as I slipped my hand off the window, holding
the roof of my car as I drove faster down the highway.



Sleep with be terrible tonight. Alcohol wasn’t helping at all. I tried to clear my mind of any thoughts and
just focus on driving when a figure began to take shape ahead of me on the side of the highway.

Was that a female? What on fucking earth was a female doing in the middle of a freeway at three
o’clock in the morning alone? I hit my brake hard, the tire screeching loudly into the thin air, making the
female jerk back from her position as the car came to a full halt in front of her.

My eyes squinted as recognition flashed in my head. She looked familiar, but I wasn’t sure. This one
looked too young to be the female I thought she was.

“Lady Katarina?” I asked, my brows furrowing as I raked her body up and down.

She was wearing tight black jeans and a hoodie of the same color that hugged her body perfectly.She
swallowed before she shook her head, pulling the hood off her head.

“I’m not Katarina.”

“You looked like her.”

“Yes, she is my sister. What were you doing here?” The nerve of her to ask me when I should be the
one asking her.

“The question is, what the fuck are you doing here? How old are you? I thought Darvin and Katarina’s
sister was still a kid.”

“Well, apparently kids grow up too.”

‘‘She snapped at me, rolling her eyes as she crossed her arms against her chest. I shook my head,
leaning my elbow on the window before pointing at the bags sitting on the ground.

“You didn’t answer my question. What are you doing here? Running away?”



“None of your business. Who are you anyway?”

“Alpha Jacob.” This is going to be fun.

I would have said Alpha Riley if I was sure she hadn’t met him, but with my Alpha’s constant visit to
Alpha Darvin, they might have crossed paths.

“Oh, Goddess!” She clamped her hand over her mouth as the color started to drain from her face.

“I’m sorry, Alpha.”

Nice. Now I know what it feels like to be an Alpha.

“No harm done. Now talk, are you running away? Spill everything or I will roll off command to let you
speak the whole truth.” My mouth twitched, but I suppressed the smile from tugging a t my lips.

“I’m waiting for my boyfriend. He should have picked me up two hours ago, but maybe he got
sidetracked.”

Or maybe fucking someone else already.

“Hop in. I’ll drive you home.”

“No. I need to wait for him, and besides, Darvin will…”

“Darvin will raise hell to find you. How old are you anyway?”

“Seventeen.”

“Get the fuck inside my car now!” I growled at her. She was only fucking seventeen, and yet she
thought she could run away and live with a man who made her wait in the middle of the highway at the
full moon where sex-hungry unmated males might be roaming around.



Her body jolted from my growl as her eyes widened when I opened the car door. She immediately ran
to the other side of the car, opening the passenger seat and sliding in, leaving her bags behind.

I didn’t know why I reacted that way. I was probably just upset that she was only seventeen and was
about to make a big mistake and throw her life away with someone who was probably not her fated
mate.

I bent down to pick up her bags, throwing them all in the back seat of my car before sitting back inside.

I revved up the engine without saying anything. I was still fucking furious. I didn’t think there was
anything wrong with females having relationships when they were under the age of eighteen, but
running away to live with an obviously irresponsible man irritated me.

“My siblings didn’t know I wasn’t home.” I snickered, shaking my head.

“I’m not stupid. If they know your plan, then I guess I won’t be seeing you here.”

“Don’t tell them I was planning to run away.”

“What do you want me to tell them? I snatched you in the middle of the night so we could hang out and
now I’m returning you home?”

“I don’t know.”

“You’re acting out of stupidity.” I felt anger arising from her, and I was guessing the only reason she was
holding herself from snapping at me was that she thought I was Alpha Jacob. She was probably aware
that Alpha Jacob was not going to take any bullshits.

“That boyfriend of yours, leave him. If he cared for you, he would have been there at your meeting
place even before you came there. Unless, of course, he’s dead.”



“You’re cruel.”

“I am. But at least I’m not stupid.” I glanced at her. She was refusing to look at me, but her hands were
coiling into fists.

We sat in silence as we drove to her territory. I wanted to ask for her name, but I guess it wasn’t that
important. I could find out later.

She insisted I drop her off just at their border, but I didn’t. I wanted her inside their pack house, and I
wanted to talk to Alpha Darvin or Lady Katarina.

They needed to watch her before she pulled another stunt like this. Lady Katarina was already at the
front of their pack house when we arrived. It was almost four i n the morning, but the whole house was
lit up. It looked like they had found out that their princess was missing.

The moment we stepped out of the car, Lady Katarina rushed in and pulled her sister into a tight hug.

“Where did you go? Darvin was already outside the territory doing a manhunt for you!” Her eyes then
darted to mine, but she was still speaking with her sister.

“Why didn’t you say you would be hanging out with him.”

“Alpha Jacob and I just decided to hang out…” She said it in almost a whisper, and I couldn’t stop
myself from laughing at this point. Lady Katarina pulled away from hugging her sister as she held her
shoulders, her eyes squinting.

“Alpha Jacob? He’s mated. Why would he hang out with you?”

Her mouth opened as her eyes shifted in my direction.

“He’s not marked.” I raised my hands in the air, my mouth twitching into a grin.



“Can I explain?” The sisters were just looking at me. Their foreheads were creased, and they looked so
much alike, except that the youngest one had fuller lips and seductive eyes. Fuck! What was I
supposed to do now?

“My name is Dominic. And I found her in the middle of the highway.”

“You found her where?”

“You’re not Alpha Jacob?”

They both snarled at the same time, and I couldn’t help but be amazed by these Alpha Females.

I pointed a finger at her sister, while my eyes were focused on Lady Katarina.

“She needs to explain why she was there. It’s none of my business, but if I were you, I would keep an
eye on her.” The female swatted my hand, her eyes blazing in anger as she snapped at me.

“How could you lie to me?”

I curled a finger under her chin, tilting her head up so I could look her straight in the eyes.

” You should be thankful I found you and not those perverts looking for someone to fuck on a full moon.
So instead of snarling at me, kid, a simple thank you will do.”

“In your dreams!” She pushed my hand off her chin and stepped back from me.

“Sofia, that’s enough!” Lady Katarina grabbed her wrist and pulled her away before whispering
something to her. Sofia

I shrugged my shoulders before turning around.

“My bags!” Sofia called after me.



I didn’t say anything, but I was already on my way to the back seat of the car. I took her bags and threw
them on the ground in front of her, shifting my eyes to look at Katarina instead.

” She wanted to run off with a man who made her wait for more than two hours in the middle of a dark
highway, If I were you, tell Darvin to chain her until she learns her lessons.”

“Asshole!”

“You’re welcome.” I slid my hands into my pockets as I turned around. I will just let my Alpha have a
word with her brother because I have a wild guess that they would keep this just to themselves.

“Apologize, Sofia, or I will tell Darvin about this!” I could hear anger rising from Katarina’s tone.

“No need to. I would rather you tell Darvin this. Besides, I’m sure I won’t be seeing this kid anymore.
Have a good day, ladies. I’m out of here.” I didn’t wait for any response as I slipped inside my car and
brought the engine back to life. I glanced back at the females and waved back at Katarina before I
drove off.

On the other hand, the little spitfire was still glaring at me, her eyes following my car as it drove past
her.
