Well, that was HOT! As a warning, I will be traveling for my day job Aug 21-23. However, I plan to have chapters ready to publish while I'm away.
Did that all happen? I just had my first man-made orgasm, and it was with Alexander. It was very different from anything I fantasized about and felt more intense and amazing than any Iâd given myself. I refuse to think about how he got so good at that. I donât want to think about those that had him before me. Alexander is mine, now and forever. Not to mention he trusted me to let me take the lead. Now that I have his permission, Iâm feeling nervous about it. Okay, in all honesty, Iâve been nervous the whole time. Iâm worried Iâll say or do something that unintentionally triggers him. Iâm nervous about losing my virginity. I think most people would be. Heâs been with a fair number of others. What if I donât measure up, so to speak? âWill you stop that nonsense? Youâre his mate. No one else will measure up to YOU, not vice versa.â Helia shook her head. Sheâs right, of course. Getting in my head and worrying about how Iâd compare wouldnât make anything easier, let alone better. I need
Whoâd have thought, having been raised around a bunch of Doms, Iâd end up being the one that liked being submissive and tied up? If or possibly when my older sister and cousins find this out, I will never hear the end of it. I know them. Iâll be bearing about liking being tied up by âinnocentâ little Delilah in the afterlife. âIf she keeps up this torture, you might get to that afterlife sooner than later.â Lucius growled in frustration. While I know thatâs not possible, I will admit it certainly feels like it could be true, especially as Delilah started to kiss lower. My dick was already thrilled that she was touching him, and the prospect that her mouth was going in that direction had him twitching with anticipation. I hope she doesnât keep teasing me with a blow job this time. I groaned through clenched teeth as she swirled her tongue around my nipple. My groan quickly became a growl when she lightly bit my nipple before moving to repeat the process with the other. I donât want t
I grumbled, wrinkling my nose when I heard a knocking in the distance. The knocking faded, and I thought it was just my imagination. Then I heard the distinct voices of my sister Crista, her mate Alec, his son AndrĂ©, and his mate Darren. Only Darren and Alecâs voices were soft, like they didnât want to be disruptive. Did they not want to wake me from my nap? Theyâd already woken me, and it was such a perfect dream. Alexander touched me in ways I could only fantasize about. He let me touch him. He even allowed me to tie him up, and we made love. Our lovemaking hurt at first. I expected it to hurt, but the pleasure was worth any moment of discomfort. It was such a beautiful and perfect moment. He told me he loved me and held me in his arms after. Whoâd ever want to wake from such a dream? âAndrĂ©, we should leave.â Darrenâs voice hissed, trying to be quiet, but I still heard him. âI agreed with Darren. We should not disturb them. I have no interest in seeing whatâs beyond that door. H
Dear Readers,As you all know, my day job has been crazy hectic recently. It will remain as my company wraps up the current fiscal year and begins the new fiscal year. Due to this, I am limited in my writing time to basically the weekends. This of course drastically limits how many chapters I am able to write/edit to publish. To set expectations, here is my updated publishing schedule for Beta's Innocent Mate. New chapters will be published Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. This may change when my workload lightens, but I cannot say. If there are changes, I will, of course, let you know. Thank you, Bryant
I currently have love/hate feelings for my extended family. I suppose I should count my blessings that it wasnât Mama and my sisters who decided they needed to âcheck inâ on Delilah and me. It didnât make it any better when my cousin and Zio Alec barged into the guest house with their mates. Weâd only been asleep a couple of hours when their not-at-all-subtle voices disturbed us. And when I say weâd been asleep for a couple of hours, I mean Delilah was asleep. As physically and mentally drained as I felt after we made love, yep, still weird to say that, I could drift off to sleep like her. It felt good to have her in my arms. Thatâs not new. It always felt good when Delilah would cuddle with me. This was different than before, as we were mates and naked. âThatâs what made it better. Naked Delilah is good.â Lucius interjected. I rolled my eyes and ignored him. While I fully agree with his sentiment, I am not in the mental space for it. Maybe if we were still at the guest house making
I knew it couldnât be good news when Crista said we needed to talk. No one in the history of conversations has started a talk with a âwe need to talk,â which is good news. Itâs just not done. The phrase is supposed to be a gentle way of saying the conversation will suck. I didnât expect the information to be this. Iâd been prepared to hear how deeply involved in this conspiracy against Alexander Vittore had gone. I never expected such behavior from Vittore. I suppose that I still need to be less trusting of people. Not everyone with bad intentions will make it obvious. People are good at masking their intentions. I wish I had Stephenâs power. Then, Iâd be able to know who had ill intent. âYou knew Liar was a bad person.â Helia pointed out. âThen why couldnât I see Vittore for what he is?â I countered. âBecause it is always easier to see things from a distance. What matters is that Vittore was stopped, and when heâs cleared for questioning, he will pay for what heâs done.â Helia ass
I wonât dismiss how formidable my Zio Alec and his mate are. I could understand thinking they could get away with messing with me. I left Incubi to be Beta in Madonie and am not blood to Zio Alec. However, it was a testament to Vittoreâs stupidity that he would stalk Delilah. Crista showed the pack what would happen if you hurt her sisters. Vittore opted to ignore that when he went down this path. And for as many reasons as Vittore should have respected and feared my Zio and Crista, he will find out itâs not just the DâAmore-Fayte line he deals with. I donât care if he knows or doesnât know that Delilah is MINE. When it comes time for his interrogation, he will learn the true meaning of pain and repentance because I will teach it to him. And if Gianpaolo will condone his sonâs actions, heâs on my shit list too. I donât care that itâs his son, and he feels he should protect him and have loyalty to him. His son broke the law and used his position in the cyber division to do it. As the
I had mixed feelings about what our agenda was for today. Part of me was eager to interrogate Liar. She started to crack yesterday before we were pulled away because Domitilla was hospitalized. I donât know what kind of oath she could have made to no longer obey AndrĂ©âs alpha command. Iâve never witnessed such a thing before. I know something similar happened in Bloodmoon during the fight to reclaim Silverclaw. A sub-Beta turned against Alpha Logan and aided the enemy, a hybrid witch/werewolf rogue. I donât know if this could be a similar situation, as I believe the male could disobey Alpha Logan because the enemy was his mate, and the mate bond can trump many things. I rather doubt Liarâs ability to ignore AndrĂ©âs command is due to any mate bond. Her mate died when Darren justifiably killed him in battle to protect AndrĂ© and all the innocent wolves of the three Sicilian packs. Then, the only male, so far not related to Liar, involved in this scheme has been Vittore. And while two
Iâve felt anxious since AndrĂ© told me that he and Darren told their children I was their surrogate. I knew the day would come. We couldnât keep it from them forever. It was only natural that theyâd be curious. Especially now that Amaryllis and Ăowyn were starting to look more like me at their age with hints of Darren. It was easier when they were little and looked more like Darren. Caspian and Aragon still look more like AndrĂ©, but there are moments when they say or do something, especially their smiles, and I can see myself in their faces. Alexander didnât help my anxious feeling when he told me Chris went to see the quads so heâd know, too. How would he handle that? I wished Alexander hadnât let him go to AndrĂ©âs villa to hear this from the quads. I was napping and needed the rest since Clover had been teething. Sheâs been extra fussy because of the teething, and beyond lack of sleep, my breasts are tender from her feedings. Itâs not like I havenât been through this before. Our old
I may only be ten, but I know enough about the world and my future role in it. Iâm the Madonie Beta heir, and as much as my parents wanted to shield me from knowing it, I am the Petridis of the Blue Moon prophecy. These roles are my fate. It wasnât my choice, but it is what the Goddess ordained, and who am I or anyone to argue with her will? The prophecy doesnât affect my day-to-day life. It just means the only witch I trust is Zia Kat, and I donât trust angels, period. Being the Beta heir does affect my day-to-day life. It has defined my education and friendships. I donât want to think the only reason Iâm friends with Caspian, Aragon, Amaryllis, and Ăowyn is simply because one of them will be my Alpha. They are my cousins, so to speak. Our Papas and Monnos have been best friends for years, so we are like family. Though itâs always felt like thereâs more to it than that, when my family link snapped into place when I was nine, I realized I had a link to them. Sure, it could be explain
Caspian POVThis wasnât going the way I thought it would. Weâre the ones that are supposed to be guilting Papa into the truth about our Mama. Instead, we are getting a guilt trip about Dad and our guards being worried that we snuck away. Maybe we couldnât escape them so easily if Filiberto and Dorian were better at their jobs. I know they are good warriors, and given the trauma they went through with Zia Amelia during the war, Papa and Dad are kind to them, but if four twelve-year-olds can escape them, what good are they at protecting us? I do feel bad that we worried Dad and Papa. I wonât feel bad for our guards. They need to be better at their jobs. And maybe we should have more than two guards. There are four of us, after all. This isnât the first time weâve duped Filiberto and Dorian. Aragon and I are identical, though we style ourselves differentlyâthe same for our sisters. Iâve lost track of how many times weâve fooled our guards and the staff at the school into thinking we were
Amaryllis POV Iâm not saying weâve been lied to for our WHOLE lives, but people need to realize we arenât babies anymore and stop trying to spare our feelings. We are the heirs of Madonie. We shouldnât be treated with kid gloves. And while nothing would ever change how much I or my siblings love our Papa and Daddy, how could they expect us never to find out? They teach us about the mate bond, females going into heat, and sex at school, for the Goddessâs sake. We were bound to learn that a baby cannot be made without a female. Even if that wasnât all a factor, Ăowyn and I are getting older, and itâs easy to see we donât look like any of the women in the DâAmore or Delaney women. We have Daddyâs eyes and ears, but thatâs like it. If anything, we look more like Nonna Crista and especially Zia Delilah. Maybe if we were naive people, weâd write it off because they are family. But Nonna Crista is Papaâs matrigna, so we arenât blood-related to the Fayte line. At least not that anyoneâs admi
The following chapters are a bonus story called A Mama's Love. I know it's a couple of months early, but the idea came to me and couldn't be helped. So the following short bonus story is a Mother's Day Celebration that takes place the Mother's Day after Clover is born. I hope you enjoy it. Story Blurb:Itâs been nearly thirteen years since Delilah Fayte gave birth for the first time. Now that the Madonie Heirs know the truth, they want to join their half-siblings... er cousins... it isnât very clear to celebrate the woman so full of boundless love she has brought nine lives into this world. Besides, no one throws a party like a DâAmore.
Dear Readers, We have reached the end of another book. It's always bittersweet to publish the final chapter of a book. These last few chapters may have felt like we skipped some things. Yes, we glossed over some moments as they were less significant to the story, and trying to write a chapter of Alexander or Delilah sitting in the therapist's office wasn't exactly compelling, nor was it enough to fill a chapter. Please don't worry- there are always chances to get glimpses of those smaller moments in more detail in future books or possible bonus stories. Now for the question everyone's been asking. WHAT'S NEXT!!?? I am taking the month of November off from my current series to participate in NaNoWriMo. For those who don't know what that is, I'd like to explain. NaNoWriMo is the National Novel Writing Month. During November, writers from around the world will challenge themselves to start a new project and write 50,000 words in 30 days! This is the first year I'm going to give this a
I always knew I wanted to be a mama. I dreamed of having a big family with my future mate when I was little. When I discovered that Alexander was my mate twelve years ago and the drama we faced, I started to think a big family might not even happen. Iâd been pregnant when we reconnected, though not with children that would be mine. He had PTSD from the emotional damage Liar had put him through two years prior. However, the biggest reason I worried we might not have a large family, let alone children, was the blue moon prophecy. Ersilia did awful things to get her hands on the blue moon child of prophecy. A child she assumed would be conceived on a blue moon from Alexanderâs line. She hurt Alexander. She hurt her great-granddaughter. She even got angels involved in it. And she paid the ultimate price for it. Despite our worries about the prophecy ten years ago, Alexander and I started our family. We thought weâd taken all the necessary precautions to avoid the blue moon. While Ersilia
Since we know about the prophecy, Delilah and I have been cautious in our family planning. Delilah wanted and needed time to recover from fully emotionally being a surrogate. I was more than willing to give her that time. Then, we also wanted time to be just a couple before risking starting our family. We decided we would try to start our family late last year. We were trying to be as thorough in our baby planning as possible. We even checked the upcoming year to identify any blue moons. Given that Iâm not the blue moon prophecy child, I knew Ersilia was off the mark in thinking the conception needed to be on a blue moon. So Delilah and I wanted to avoid delivery on a blue moon. We knew there would be a blue moon in August, so we were actively targeting to have our baby either before or after August. We even stopped having unprotected sex when her possible due date could have landed anywhere near the blue moon. And our planning paid off. When we learned Delilah was pregnant and calcu
I wonât go into how much I ended up paying Amelia in damages to her little cottage after spending a weekend there. I consider myself lucky that she didnât keep any family heirlooms there. The furnishings destroyed during mine and Delilahâs mating werenât antiques or anything she or her brother held dear. All you need to know is it wasnât cheap. But that was a month ago. A month of being fully mated has been great for us. After Delilahâs heat ended, she finally asked to see the heirs. I donât know if itâs from her therapy or because we completed our bond, but her emotions about AndrĂ© and Darrenâs children leveled out. It was still an emotional visit, especially when she held each of them. That first meeting was a huge step for Delilah. She saw, held, kissed, and whispered sweet words to them. She got to say goodbye to their connection and move forward to the new connection theyâll have. Delilah was already the most selfless person I knew. She became the bravest after seeing her keep h
