The Strongest Beta is My Luna

Every 3 years, warriors from packs all over the world were forced to attend the cruel training camp ran by the ruthless Avondale pack. Knowing only few could survive, Clare Miller volunteered to go in her brother’s stead. She vowed to defeat the ruthless alpha, Leonel Wood, after she became the strongest beta. However, when it was time to choose where her loyalties lie, her mind was made up but her heart had a different answer. *** “Mate,” he commanded and I froze. His hand cupped my cheek firmly. The fire in his eyes raged between anger and understanding, judgment and mercy, life and death… “What do you want?” I asked. My heart thundered as I waited for the verdict. Slowly his thumb ran over my lips and his hand smoothed a hot trail from my cheek through the valley between my breasts over my belly and lower. "You." His eyes held mine as the heat rose inside of me. "But I don’t always get to make the easy choice.” “You always have the choice.” I looked him in the eye. “Until now.”

Chapter 29: Truths

Clare POV

'I don't torture people. That was my father, and it wasn't just other people's kids that he tortured.'

Leonel's words ran through my head as I watched him walk away from me. Was it true? Did he really not hurt people anymore? And was he abused as a kid?

I knew it was the truth. I had seen his face after he had said that sentence. He was embarrassed with a hint of regret. He hadn't meant to tell me that. It made him more vulnerable.

Maybe I should go after him.

Soon after, a body started walking down the steps and I looked up hopefully…but it was only John.

"Hey, Clare, you alright?" he asked as he walked up to me.

"Yeah, I'm fine," I replied, giving him my fake smile as he pulled me into a hug.

"Then let's go get some lunch."

Laid-back John for the win. He grabbed my hand and pulled me back to the dining area we had found breakfast in.
