Beta Lodge

Beta Gabriel Lodge.

Beta to one of the most feared men in the country whilst being a terrifying one himself.

He's not really sure what drew him to choose Adelaide as a mate. Maybe it was her soft beauty or her strong soul. All he knew is that when he saw her, he wanted her.

Adelaide Greyson's friend was chosen by the most feared Alpha in the country at the Mating Ceremony.

So when she runs to Adelaide's house for comfort, Adelaide ends up meeting Alpha Donnelly's, Beta.

And what Beta Lodge wants, he gets.

Adelaide must adjust to her new life but it's not as simple as she would have liked.

Concern creased his features and I looked at him with wide eyes.

"What's wrong with being soft?"
