Beta's Surprise Mate Business & Pleasure Chapter 3 - John
The elders left a piss poor impression on me. I prefer not to judge people sight unseen, but from what I’ve heard of the Monastery and the elders, I already had a low opinion of them. It’s probably best that Bloodmoon doesn’t participate in their Alpha training. I’d have been kicked out when I shifted and didn’t have the Alpha wolf, and I can’t see Logan doing well in that environment. ‘If Logan and Jericho had been forced to attend that training, the Monastery would be rubble and every elder dead.’ Irving scoffed. It does make me wonder why Alec never destroyed the place. If the rumors of how poor Alec’s time there was, I wouldn’t blame him if he had. Before finding his mate, Alec’s wolf reigned supreme in his body and became notorious for a reason. I suppose he never saw the need to return after taking control of Incubi. My threat will not be idle if they have had a hand in these disappearances. I will call Alec and let him bring destruction to them. We’d been back at the pack ho

Since I realized Hizkiah was back and part of this, I’ve felt numb. I nearly died the last time I faced him. I don’t want to do that again. I can’t simply put myself in that situation again. I have children that need me. Farah and Amal are too young to lose me. I can’t let them grow up without me. ‘Will you stop your pessimistic bullshit? We aren’t going to die. You fought the asshole when you were fifteen. You’re older and wiser, and you have me this time. Not to mention there is no way John and Irving would let us die. So remember, you aren’t fighting this demon alone.’ Nova scolded me. ‘So get out of your head. You may be keeping your thoughts from them, but they are still picking up on you being out of sorts. They are worried. I mean, look at John.’ Nova encouraged me. I turned my head and watched as John leaned into the shower and turned the water on. Nothing seemed off at first. Then when he looked back at me, I could see it. I could see the worry in his eyes and felt it in o

As much as I’d prefer to spend the rest of this trip in our room making love, we had urgent business to address. I intend to fulfill my promise to her. Once those children are safe, I am giving her the romantic getaway she deserves. It may not be the Maldives, but I will find a way to make arrangements in Paris for us. Including a shopping trip since we didn’t pack for the cold winter weather of Paris. We were the last to arrive at Sylvester’s office. It was a bit cramped with so many of us, but I suppose there isn’t another room in the château that would offer us the necessary privacy for this conversation. As we stepped into the office, I gave a curt nod to him and his ranked wolves. I noticed Warren and Ben stifle a snicker as they looked at mine and Sarael’s wet hair. A glare in their direction quickly shut up the Gamma guards. “Pardon our lateness. It has been a long day and will continue to be a long night. So we took the opportunity to wash up.” I explained as I stepped next

We managed to have everything ready just after sunset. Even having a couple dozen people helping me and following my instructions to the letter took hours to prepare everything. I would have preferred that we had started sooner, but at least the full moon rising means I can bring Nova forward when I need her. I bet Hizkiah won’t expect that, not that he’d expect to cross paths with me after all these years. Each team had at least twelve members that weren’t going to shit until necessary to handle the holy water. I was, of course, one of the twelve in our group. I wish I’d had more time before we left Bloodmoon to prepare. While I know, I can shift to Nova. I’d still feel better going into this if I had my hunter weapons. I’ll have to make do. “You two aren’t going in as your wolves?” I raised my eyebrow as I handed the belladonna necklaces and holy water balloons to Crista and Alec. “Your mate requested we make an entrance.” Alec shrugged. “I feel arriving as myself will have the de

“Remind me again why I’m going to your appointment with the florist? And also remind me why you aren’t just going through one of the florists we have within the pack?” I sighed as I followed my GPS to Flowers of the Nile in Eugene, Oregon. “Because Aurelia hasn’t been feeling well, and I finally talked her stubborn ass into going to see the doctor. But we can’t cancel or reschedule if we want to have the flowers for the wedding.” my brother sighed over the car Bluetooth.“Okay, I get that. And I’m glad she’s finally going to the doctor. Though honestly, I’m with Sybille. They are just going to tell you that it’s morning sickness, and you have a pup on the way.” I rolled my eyes. “Guess we’ll see. She’s pretty sure it’s just from Hana’s undercooked brownies.” Logan answered.

I hadn’t really taken Becky seriously when she called my next appointment gorgeous. This isn’t a very big town, and Becky’s dated most of the single guys between 18 and 30. So I don’t trust her opinion of men. But when I walked out of the backroom and called out to him, I suddenly had a new respect for her taste. Because damn. I’m pretty sure my panties got wet. I had to suppress a full-body shiver as those cobalt/azure eyes raked over my body. I know I’m not much to look at, at least not dressed like this. My hair was probably a mess. I’d just thrown it into a low-side ponytail while I was working. And as much as I love the turquoise blue smock with the gold logo on the chest, I know it does nothing for my figure. Nor does it hide the basic white tee and dark wash jeans I was wearing. I knew I was meeting with a client, but someone… Becky… spille

I am going to maim, I can’t kill him, but I can maim my brother when I get home. Of all the places in the world to send me. He had to send me to the one place that apparently has been hiding my mate. And fuck, this is not good. ‘Shut up! We have wanted our mate for years. You and I both know you are tired of being a mateless virgin.’ Irving scoffs as he eyes her ass while we follow her to her office.‘Stop looking at her ass. The hell, Irving? She’s going to catch us, and I’m not dealing with that.’ I scolded him. And, of course, as we were arguing about the ramifications of checking out our mate’s ass, she looked back and caught us. Damn it, Irving.And crap, now we are in an even small space with her. At least out in the show, the scents of all the flowers and her employee Becky helped counter her deliciou

I’m proud of myself. I managed to stay in control while in his presence, and after he left, things went without issue. But at the end of the night, as I was counting out the register, I spotted the copy of his card transaction. My eyes went wide, and I dropped it as my eyes saw his name. “John A Kinsley Jr.” I gulped as I dared even speak his name. THE John Kinsley was in my shop. THE John Kinsley is my soulmate!! I’m arranging flowers for a KINSLEY wedding! I was trying to wrap my head around that when another thought hit me. The Kinsley’s are werewolves! My breathing was erratic, but hey, it at least matched my heart. I wonder how my family would feel if they knew. The Kinsley family has funded archeological digs for my family for a while. I don’t know if the Kinsley family knows they are funding hunters in their search for ancient artifacts to u

I can’t shake this unsettled feeling I’ve had since Logan first told us to report to his office. Nova thinks I’m just a pessimist and that nothing as dangerous or nefarious as I believe is going on. She can call me a pessimist all she wants, but my gut tells me I’m not going to like what we find here. And if all these signs weren’t weird enough, I have four ranked males bowing to ME! What the FUCK? Why are they bowing to me? The hairs on the back of my neck stood on edge as that unsettling feeling was back in full force. “Why are you doing that? An Alpha doesn’t show that kind of respect to anyone but perhaps a fellow Alpha. I’m not Alpha. Hell, I’m barely classified as a werewolf.” I questioned, stroking Shu’s fur. He was relaxed, or as relaxed as he’s learned to be around werewolves he doesn’t think of as a threat, which is a good sign. It means he doesn’t suspect any of the ranked wolves of having a hand in all this. I hate if anyone from within this pack had a hand in it. Not t
Beta's Surprise Mate Business & Pleasure Chapter 1 - John
So much has happened in the four years we’ve been together. Sarael lost her sister, became a new moon wolf and pack Beta, had our daughter, got married, had our son, and then dealt with the chaos of Silvercloud finding his mate. If anyone deserves a romantic getaway, it is my love. I have been planning this since Amal was born. Nothing will stop us from jetting off to the Maldives for a week away. The kids are safe with my brother and his family. Everything at Sarael’s shop is under control, and I know Kinsley Industrial will run smoothly while I’m away. I was loading our bags into the car when Logan’s voice forced its way into my mind. ‘Report immediately to my office.’ His command was undeniable and worrying. “John? Why did your brother summon me to his office? Is this a joke? He knows we are leaving.” Sarael frowned as she folded her arms. “I am unsure what happened. It must be important. Logan knows we are leaving.” I furrowed my brow as I contemplated why he would call for us

Beta's Surprise Mate Epilogue - John
I knew that having my mate at my side would complete me. That the emptiness I had felt would fade away because she would fill the void. And I know I had been apprehensive, at best, when I met Sarael in her flower shop. The idea of a human mate terrified me. I didn’t want to put her in danger, but I quickly realized I couldn’t live without her. The day she agreed to be with me, to me marking her, had been the happiest of my life. But then that was overshadowed three months ago when she agreed to marry me. I knew her style didn’t usually lean to the side of bling, and she might have preferred a simplier ring. But I risked it and gave my mother’s ring. And if the fact three months later, I still sometimes catch her staring at it is an indication I made the right choice. Despite that, it’s a longer drive to her shop we have settled into our new life living together. I no longer survive on what clothes I could fit into the two provided drawers at her house. We have a massive shared walk-
Beta's Surprise Mate Epilogue - Sarael
In the two months since the new moon, life has become what I will call the new normal. John spends most nights at my house though sometimes we stay at the packhouse, usually on full moons when we join the pack for the run. Since that first full moon when I officially became Beta, the pack has treated me with respect. I think that fight certainly did the trick. We’ve settled into a routine regarding doing our day jobs as well as handling pack business. Aurelia has been more than happy to loop me into all she and Sybille have been working on. And I don’t mind taking on extra work to give her free time. She’s growing another life. She should be taking it easy. Not having to get all worked up dealing with bigoted ass-munching, her word, old wolves to improve the quality of life and especially the education system of the pack. Since she had a doctor’s appointment, I took over during the last meeting with the Sub Betas and School Board. To say they were not p
