Chapter 19 - Beta, The Cutest

The evening sky was painted in warm hues of orange and pink as I made my way back to the flat. The familiar breeze carried the scent of rain, hinting at an incoming storm. Despite the serenity outside, my mind buzzed with thoughts of the upcoming infiltration of the Sorority House. There was an unsettling excitement about what I was about to dive into. 

As I rounded the corner of my floor, there she was again—my neighbor, going back inside her flat holding, groceries this time, phone pressed to her ears as she unlocks her flat. She seemed to be talking to her husband, just like every other time I passed by. She caught sight of me, smiling brightly as usual. 

"Good evening, Austin!" she called out, her voice cheerful and warm. 

I nodded politely, giving her a slight bow without stopping. "Good evening," I replied curtly, keeping my pace as I headed straight for my door. 

I wasn't in the mood for small talk, not with everything going on in my head. The key turned in the lock with a soft click, and I stepped inside. 

The moment the door swung open, I was met with a blur of movement—Beta. 

"Master!!!" she squealed, launching herself at me. Before I could even brace myself, she had wrapped her arms tightly around my neck, pressing her face into my chest like an overly excited puppy. 

I stumbled back a little, catching her in my arms as she pouted. "Where were you? I was waiting all night and day!" she demanded, looking up at me with wide, accusatory eyes. 

I raised an eyebrow, amused at her sudden tantrum. "Where was I? Where were you yesterday?" I asked, lifting her slightly off the ground and setting her down gently. "You vanished away the other night." 

Her pout deepened, and she crossed her arms, giving me a defiant glare. "Lady Alpha gave me a mission! I didn't have a choice. But I came back last night, and you were gone!" 

I chuckled, ruffling her hair. "I was with Gamma." 

At the mention of Gamma, her lips twisted into a small, playful frown. "Gamma, huh?" She clearly wasn't thrilled, but she didn't push it further. 

I smirked and patted her head. "Don't pout. You know there's no need for that." 

She huffed but allowed a small smile to escape as she leaned into my touch. "Fine, but you still owe me for disappearing." 

I laughed softly and led her towards the bed. "Alright, alright. Let's rest." 

Soon enough, we were both lying down, naked after our heat of moment of 2 hours and having a nice dinner made by Epsilon. 

Beta nestled herself against me, her soft body pressed close. She draped an arm across my chest, her head resting comfortably on my shoulder. I could feel her breath against my skin as she traced lazy patterns with her fingers. 

"Master…" she said softly, her voice carrying a curious tone. "You're going on another mission, aren't you?" 

I nodded, my gaze fixed on the ceiling. "Yeah, it's an important one. That's why I need you to stay here." 

She frowned instantly, pushing herself up to look at me. "No! I want to go with you!" she insisted, her tone a mix of frustration and determination. 

I sighed, meeting her eyes. "Beta, this isn't just a normal mission. It's dangerous. I don't know what's going to happen, and I can't risk taking you with me. You'll be safer here." 

Her bottom lip trembled slightly as she pouted. "But Master… I can help! I'm strong too! You know I won't get in your way," she pleaded, her eyes wide with hope. 

I shook my head firmly, my hand gently cupping her cheek. "It's not about that, Beta. I know how strong you are. But this isn't a fight. It's… complicated. And if anything happened to you, I'd lose focus. I need to be fully aware, and I can't afford to be distracted by worrying about you." 

To be honest, I know she is extremely strong. She is like beast that can surpass and adapt to any danger fast but I just want to keep attention at bare minimum until I clearly knows what is happening. 

She huffed, clearly unhappy with my explanation. "But I want to be by your side," she said, her voice softening, her eyes searching mine for some hint of compromise.

I pulled her back down into my arms, holding her close. "I know, Beta. But trust me on this. I need you to stay here." 

She sighed, her head resting against my chest as her fingers traced patterns over my skin again. "Fine," she muttered, but her voice was laced with disappointment. 

An idea popped into my mind, and I smirked slightly. 

"How about this? If you listen to me and stay here, I'll give you a special surprise when I get back." 

Her eyes immediately lit up, and she perked up, looking at me excitedly. "A surprise? Really?" 

I nodded, my smirk growing wider. "Yeah, something just for you. Deal?" 

She hesitated for a moment, but the temptation was too much. She broke into a grin and nodded eagerly. "Okay! Deal!" She threw her arms around me, hugging me tightly as her warm body pressed against mine. 

As she nestled herself back into my chest, she began rubbing her body against me, her breath quickening. I groaned softly, feeling the heat radiating off her. "Beta, we've already done it twice since I got back. You need to rest." 

She pouted again, but her playful grin returned. "But Master, I could do it all night… you know that," she whispered, her voice seductive as her hands roamed over my body and tracing over my dick. 

I laughed softly, pulling the covers over us. "Not tonight. I'm exhausted. We'll continue later." 

She let out a disappointed sigh but cuddled closer to me, her head resting on my chest. "Alright… but you promised. I'm holding you to that surprise," she mumbled, her voice trailing off as sleep started to claim her. 

I smiled softly, running my fingers through her hair as I felt her body relax against mine. She dug her face into my chest, curling up like a child seeking warmth and comfort. It didn't take long before her breathing evened out, signaling that she was fast asleep. 

— 

Finally the friday morning came, but it was slow and peaceful. The sunlight streamed through the cracks in the curtains, casting a soft glow over the room. 

Beta stirred beside me, stretching with a satisfied yawn. Her eyes fluttered open, and she smiled up at me, looking more like a sleepy kitten than the energetic girl from every night. 

"Good morning, Master," she mumbled, her voice groggy with sleep as she rubbed her eyes. 

"Morning," I replied, smiling down at her. "Did you sleep well?" 

She nodded, snuggling closer to me again. "Mmm-hmm. But I could've slept longer…" 

I chuckled softly and kissed the top of her head. "Well, I need to get up. Today's the day." 

Her eyes widened slightly, and she looked up at me with curiosity. "Today? The mission? Friday came so fast!" she asked, her voice suddenly more alert. 

I nodded, slipping out of bed and heading towards the closet to grab some clothes. "Yeah. It's time." 

Beta sat up, watching me intently as I pulled on my black jacket over a plain white T-shirt. "Are you sure I can't come with you?" she asked, her voice filled with a mixture of hope and apprehension. 

I gave her a reassuring smile, shaking my head. "I need you here, Beta. I promise, it won't take long." 

She pouted again but nodded. "Fine. But you better come back soon," she said with a soft smile, her tone playful but serious. 

I grabbed my keys off the counter and turned to her one last time. "I will. And remember—surprise when I get back." 

Her face lit up at the reminder, and she gave me a wink. "I'll be waiting, Master." 

With a final glance at her, I headed toward the door, my mind focused on what lay ahead. Today was the day. The Sorority House awaited, and whatever secrets it held, I was ready to uncover them.
