A glimpse into what is going on a world away in Ironfur. Does Ersilia have plans against more than just Alexander? Would she have her great-grandson in on this?
I should have kept up with the conversations happening around me. I didn’t have the energy to split my focus between whatever everyone else was discussing and considering the multiple scenarios of why I have an old witch after me. It doesn’t make any sense. I’ve been racking my brain to try and find a reason for all this. Despite having very little appetite, I managed to eat a little before a roll was thrown at me. And it might sound bad, but I was ready to check out of the conversation again when Katrina brought up Zoe calling her. If she had killed that douchebag Beta of Silvermane, our Papa would have handled the fallout. So no need to get me involved. However, when Primo was mentioned, Katrina had my full attention. I hadn’t considered that pack members were now traveling to gatherings. If he were anyone else, I wouldn’t think twice. But he’s related to Domitilla, which means he’s related to Ersilia. I don’t know how far-reaching this plot against me goes. Would Ersilia tap her
A prophecy about Alexander? Or at least about a Petridis. I don’t know if he or anyone else in his family is connected to the blue moon, so all we know is that the phoenix implied a Petridis. Is this what Ersilia was after? How far back does this go? Was Liar’s baby trap based on this prophecy? Was Cesare conceived on a blue moon? When is the next one? When Alexander rushed out of the room, I hurried to follow him. As much as he may want to be alone, I won’t let him be. He’s going through some seriously scary and overwhelming things. These aren’t things to face alone. We aren’t meant to face troubles alone. That’s why the Goddess gave us mates, so we would never be alone in facing the difficulties and craziness of this world. I frowned as I saw him hunched over a potted plant throwing up what little he’d eaten. I approached him slowly, cautiously, as I didn’t want to startle him. I don’t want him to feel trapped or suffocated by my presence. I’m here because I love him. I’m here beca
Since my return to Madonie, I have felt a range of emotions. However, none had been as prominent as anger. My anger has varied between the multiple offenders in this situation. And right now, since I can’t get my hands on that old bitch Ersilia the anger is transferred to Vittore. Not only did he screw with mine and Delilah’s phones, emails, and somehow the mail, he was being a creep watching Delilah. For the first time, I’m glad Delilah spent those years in Bloodmoon where this creep couldn’t follow her around. “I already informed Crista and Alec of my findings. So if Crista leaves anything to beat up, have at it, Alexander. But I wouldn’t hold my breath. Crista does not go easy on people that mess with us.” Persephone said. “I doubt Crista would go too far for him hacking our phones and emails. He didn’t do anything that outright hurt either of us.” Delilah frowned. “Delilah, he hacked your phone and your computer. Jonathan backtracked a trojan to his computer. He has been watchin
My skin has been scrawling since Persephone said Vittore had watched me through my laptop. Wasn’t it bad enough that he got involved in preventing Alexander and me from being in contact? Why did he have to take it further? I didn’t even know he had a crush on me. And instead of, oh, I don’t know, saying something to me, he stalked me and watched me in private. I feel so dirty now. Nudity is normal among werewolves, but that’s only when we have shifted back from our wolves. It is NOT normal or okay to see someone else naked when they are in private. Sure, I didn’t change often with my laptop open. However, there were still times while I was in Bloodmoon, and even since returning to Sicily, I left it open because I’d been using it right before bed. I’d been quiet since we left the packhouse. I didn’t speak in Gildo’s car and just waved politely with what I hoped was a smile as we switched to Alexander’s car. Alec is leaving Vittore’s punishment to me. That’s a lot of responsibility to
It’s one thing to see a fellow werewolf naked after a shift. That’s perfectly normal. Granted, you shouldn’t stare because that’s rude as fuck. This is why I wouldn’t consider being mad at unmated males in Bloodmoon that may have been around when she shifted. I can’t and won’t hold that against anyone. Unless she ever tells me someone made her uncomfortable and stared at her. Then an international flight to knock someone’s teeth out may be in order. However, seeing someone naked in their bedroom’s privacy is not okay. Everyone is entitled to their privacy. So do I want to kill Vittore because he’s probably seen Delilah naked? Hell fucking yes, I do! Because he didn’t see her naked because he was around when she shifted. He violated Delilah’s privacy. On principle alone, I would deck anyone that did that to someone else. As Delilah’s friend, I want to beat him up. And as her mate, I want to take Persephone’s silver melon baller idea further. I would go about this ‘to the pain’ style.
Beta's Innocent Mate is going on a hiatus while I am on a family vacation. My vacation officially begins tomorrow. I wanted to let all my readers know so you don't start to worry about where I went and when a new chapter will post. So never fear. This isn't the end of Alexander and Delilah's love story. We are only at the halfway point. So there are still many more chapters to come. New chapters will return as early as August 7th. If you aren't already, you can follow me on social media. Thanks for your patience, and I look forward to returning recharged and ready to tackle the second half of Beta's Innocent Mate! See ya soon,Bryant
Maybe I went too far asking him to help me out of the dress. I knew I didn’t have a zipper in the back, yet I still asked for help. I was expecting him to say I had ‘pregnancy brain’ and point out there wasn’t a zipper in the back. Instead, he stepped so close I could feel the warmth of his body behind me as he unzipped the side zipper and kissed my neck. ‘Hell yes!’ Helia exclaimed as a jolt of the mate bond shot through me. I thought it was a good sign. Maybe it wouldn’t only be in our strangely shared dreams that Alexander could touch me. I don’t know what I did wrong, perhaps because I said his name? I couldn’t help it. I liked his proximity and his lips on my neck. Maybe he thought I said his name as a question or like me telling him to stop. If anything, I wanted him to keep going. I felt embarrassed and disappointed when he pulled away. Instead of calling him on it, I hurried to my room. I sighed and smacked my forehead. What was I thinking? I don't think anything about this
The tips of my fingers still tingled from where her lips had brushed them when I fed her that M&M. I did not expect her to do that. It wasn’t something the shy Delilah I’d known before would have thought of doing. Well, maybe she would have thought it. It’s not like I could remind her mind back then. I can’t read her mind now. Either way, I know it’s not something she’d have acted on before. No one woman has ever tried to get me to feed her. Well, I don’t count my cock since that’s a completely different scenario than feeding someone else actual food. And damn it, now the thought of those cupid’s bow lips wrapped around my dick is in my head. It’s not a mental image I should be having. ‘BULLSHIT, it isn’t!’ Lucius scoffed. ‘This isn’t two years ago. This isn’t back when Delilah was merely Luna Crista’s kid sister. She’s eighteen and OURS. If there was EVER a time to start having sexual thoughts about her, it’s NOW.’ Lucius said. ‘Old habits die hard. I’ve always made sure to think
