The Beta's Heart

Introduction and Characters

July 19, 2024

Author's Notes: 

1. The Beta's Heart is a spin-off from the Posy series. You can read it as a standalone (at least I think so - as you read, let me know if you agree or not!). It begins three months prior to Posy and follows the established timeline.

2. The second half of the book will feature explicit sex scenes, and there are sensitive issues and lots of profanity throughout, which is why you should be 18+ to read this book. Even if you are a legal adult, know your triggers because I don't include warnings. That said, here's a WARNING: Ty's wolf, River, speaks like a toddler. There is a reason for this. Several other wolves are babyish, too, and speak broken English. If this bothers you, there are lots of other werewolf books to read. Side rant - I couldn't believe how many readers complained about this feature of the world! Of all the other things they could have complained about, wolves speaking and acting like babies was your chief one? I mean, I made sooo many mistakes with Posy, Book One, and that's you're complaint? Ah, well, to each their own!

3. There is no third-act break-up, cheating, or love triangles in any of my books. I don't like reading that, so I don't write it. I like to read adorable fluff, sassy dialogue, family bonds (especially with siblings), and sexy scenes, so that's what I write! If you like those elements, too, I think you will enjoy The Beta's Heart.

4. I like to read your suggestions and might even incorporate some! Also, please point out my mistakes so I can correct them. If you don't like this book, just stop reading it; no need for nasty comments. Wattpad is loaded with free stories, so I'm sure you can find something else that you will like better.

5. I write until a chapter/scene is 'done' in my mind, whether that's 500 words or 3,000.  Also, I publish every single Friday. Might be morning, noon, or night, but I get at least one chapter out every Friday. Occasionally, I can get a chapter out mid-week. I know it's not fun to wait, but I'll do my best to make it worthwhile!

And now ...🎺(Alpha Ash makes a noise like a trumpet) 🎺 ... on to the characters!!
