2024-10-29 19:42:56He’s a VIRGIN! Seriously what the hell! How is that possible? I know he says he has great self-control and has been waiting for his mate but wow. I don’t think any man would wait this long, let alone when there are plenty of women more than willing to get in his bed. What would have happened if he never crossed paths with me? Would he have remained celibate his whole life?
I can’t even fathom that. I mean, I should be flattered, right. He’s waited and saved himself for… well, for me. And I am. I’m also not sure about this because I was only one other guy’s first time, and he was mine. It was hands down the worst sexual experience of my life. The guy had no clue what he was doing and tried to go in the wrong hole more than once.
I shuddered at the memory. I really hope that while he’s inexperienced, John has

I rolled my eyes when he darted into her bedroom. “Stupid cat.” I muttered and started looking around. I didn’t see anything personal on display. There are no family photos or photos in general. She had some lovely paintings on the walls. Sarael displayed a few knick-knacks on a shelf with her book collection.Her books were the most interesting thing she had. She had a large assortment. I can tell she’s read a few romance novels plenty of times, given the wear on their binding. Then she had some classics, horror, mystery, and thriller novels. But most of her collection was on the supernatural and history. It seems you can take the woman out of the hunter guild, but you can’t take the hunter out of the woman.When she exited her room, I smelled her before she called out to me. I’d been trying to keep Irving in check bef
Beta's Surprise Mate Chapter 14 - Sarael
Learning the history of his pack was eye-opening, to say the least. I don’t think I’ve heard of a pack whose alpha is selected by their wolf’s gift rather than birth order. It was truly remarkable to hear how the Bloodmoon Pack formed, and their goddess herself chose its Alpha. I’m sure my family’s guild would love to hear about that.They’d want to find a way to end the alpha line, which would mean killing Logan and his mate since she’s expecting. I managed to internalize my shutter. The very idea of killing a pregnant woman or a baby I couldn’t. It’s what made me the weaker sister. I felt bad enough for what I did in the name of our family.I don’t know what was more surprising. How Bloodmoon's alpha is selected or that becoming alpha wasn’t John’s dream. I suppose I can under

I enjoyed myself, getting to talk to her like this, and having this chance to get to know each other. I was more interested in getting to know her. She was the bigger mystery here. I’m a werewolf, the Beta of my pack, and I run my family’s company. Not a lot to unpack there. But her… there’s a story here, and I want to know it.Spells? Well, that was interesting. The use of magic isn’t something everyone can manage, least of all humans. But I suppose if one has an inclination to it, your race doesn’t matter. “Mhm. I’m guessing there is plenty to tell. Just maybe not much you want to tell.” I commented before our conversation paused.We waited till the waiter had taken our empty appetizer plates away, leaving us with our entrees. I refilled her wine since apparently, my mate enjoys wine. That or this is a su
Beta's Surprise Mate Chapter 16 - Sarael
I shouldn’t have shut down like that. It's not his fault. I don’t want him to think he did something wrong. My family, my past, the reason I left home is these are things I don’t speak of. I have told John more in one date than I did any of my exes combined. And that scares me. Why have I told him as much as I have? Is it because of the mate bond? Is it because he’s supernatural, so he knows the world I was raised in? I couldn’t tell someone like Drew about what my family really did. He would never understand. As far as he knew, supernatural creatures were make-believe. I’m going to blame it on the mate bond. I wouldn’t otherwise so easily tell him about my past. Even if I’m withholding some important details. But I can’t tell him those things. As much as my family and hunters around the world see werewolves as monsters, I know they aren’t all monsters.

I wish I knew what I said or did to make her shut down like that. I know she said it wasn’t anything I had done, but it still feels like it. ‘She only shut down when the subject of mates mistreating mates was brought up.’ Irving commented as he peered at her through my eyes during the drive to her house.We both had a lot of questions. But most were wondering what she’s witnessed regarding mates. Though I would guess coming from a hunter family, maybe she’s seen mates throw each other under the bus, so to speak, to save themselves. Which is just terrible to consider.I don’t know how anyone could do something to harm their mate. Even knowing she’s from a hunter family. I understand that some of my pack won’t accept her as their Beta Female due to her being a human and former hunter. I don’t care. I wou
Beta's Surprise Mate Chapter 18 - Sarael
Damn it. Damn it all to hell. Why did my sister have to find me? Better question: how long has my family known where I am? Have they known all along and just left me be? It’s possible. But Isis running away has brought Sakina to my door. And worse yet, she saw John. He’s not safe. His pack isn’t safe either.I groaned as I grabbed my phone and realized I didn’t have his contact info. I smacked my hand to my forehead. “I really should get his number. I need to tell him. I do have Aurelia and Logan’s numbers. But I’m not sure I want to call one of them to ask to talk to John. I don’t know if Aurelia knows about what’s going on between John and me.Logan does, but he seems a tad on the aggressive side. And I don’t think I’m his favorite person, so to hear that his pack may be in danger because

“What happened last night that resulted in the changes in patrols?” Charles asked as he entered our shared office. I’d been up since before dawn. I couldn’t sleep. Irving was restless worrying about Sarael, and I’ll admit so was I. I”d gone for a run and hit the training grounds to try and work out these feelings. When that didn’t work, I came to my office to tend to business. I glanced up from my laptop, where I was trying to focus on the quarterly reports from Kinsley Enterprise. ”Yeah, and why am I getting hourly check-ins on the app I built for pack members living outside one of our cities?” Jonathan asked, walking in with a cup of coffee in one hand and his tablet in the other. “A hunter has been spotted in our territory.” I stated. Both froze, eyes wide. If not for werewolf reflexes, I’m pretty sure Jonathan’s coffee and tablet would have cr
Beta's Surprise Mate Chapter 20 - Sarael
I was checking the entire drive to the Christian ranch to be sure we weren’t being followed. I was relieved to not see any cars following us. And just to be safe, I had left my cell phone at the office. I don’t trust what lengths my sister would go to track me. I can’t let her be anywhere near John or people in his pack. Of course, when I arrived, the man had my heart fluttering with this whole opening doors and offering his hand. I’m not used to the chivalrous sort. And then he called me darling. Seriously, what century is this guy from? And great, now he’s going to call me love. I don’t know if I can stand that. It’s not that I don’t like the idea of pet names. It just means that we are moving closer to having a relationship. And I don’t want to get more attached to John. As soon as he knows the truth, he’s going to want to get as far away from me as

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
Beta's Surprise Mate Business & Pleasure Chapter 5 - John
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
Beta's Surprise Mate Business & Pleasure Chapter 4 - Sarael
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
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
Beta's Surprise Mate Business & Pleasure Chapter 2 - Sarael
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
