Chapter 28 - Sarael
Last Updated:
2021-10-06 18:00:04A book about half breeds?! This could tell us more about Isis. In all the lore and texts I’ve ever read, it didn’t discuss what happens when supernatural creatures breed with each other, let alone with humans. The most I ever found was that the offspring would favor one side over the other. It’s how Sakina and I knew how to confirm that Isis did indeed have a wolf spirit.
Perhaps their book would mention something, anything that would help find her. Or at least better understanding what she might be going through right now. And otherwise, I’ll admit I would like to find out more about wolves mated with humans. If I can understand better how this will all affect me as a human, I can better prepare.
“We were just on our way home from visiting our granddaughter Virginia.” Shea nodded. “How is the pup? Keeping your son Fion and his mate Juliet in shape chas

Beta's Surprise Mate Chapter 29 - John
She was so adorable when she took the book from Shea. The expression on her face, the stubble wrinkle in her brow, and the awe in her rich brown eyes as she touched its pages. It was a similar expression to when she spoke of flowers. I made a mental note to take her to the library in the packhouse. Unlike the one that is available to the public, ours holds older texts that store the history of our pack. I would have felt bad that I brought her here with an agenda. I wanted to show her the pack and my hometown, but more so, I wanted to show her what our life could be. I want her to like it here. I want her to want this. To want to be with me. I know I want to be with her. No matter what, I want to be with her, and I’ll wait longer if that’s what she needs. I chuckled at her question as we stood before the house I had built when construction on Kavanagh Glen be

This house was a lot like the man. Beautiful to look at with a very traditional and sophisticated appeal, but beyond first glimpses is a mystery. Nothing about what I saw in the house showed me more about the man. I could understand why he hadn’t decorated yet. He wasn’t thinking to move just yet.Now that he’s found me, he wants my input. I won’t admit this, but I like that. If or when we take the step of living together, it won’t be me moving into his established home or him moving into mine, for that matter. I love the home style he chose, and I like the interior choices he has made, especially in that kitchen.Everything about that kitchen was perfect. The cabinets, the butcher block island, the cream and tan granite with dark brown vein countertops, the white porcelain farmhouse sink, the high-end white matching ap

I wanted to rip Sakina’s throat out just for her past crimes. And now that urge, that thirst for blood, was even more prevalent as she threatened innocent pups of my pack. Though I must wonder how the hell these two always find themselves in danger. Aurelia rescued them from a Syndicate rogue two years ago, and now they got ambushed by this hunter. Might need to discuss with them the need to be more vigilant. That’s a problem for later. Right now, I need to get Iver away from Sakina while protecting Sarael and Evan. Neither of them was making that task easy on me. I had to put myself between Sarael and her sister when she got the idea in her mind to try and talk to the deranged bitch. But then Evan started to act on impulses, and I had to stop him from getting himself killed. I am not explaining to their mother why even one of her sons died on my watch.

I shouldn’t be worried about my sister. She is a terrible person. I’ve always known that, and today just continued to prove that. She was going to kill that red-haired boy, Iver if I hadn’t stopped her. I don’t want to think about how many others she hurt or killed to get this deep into the territory.I wanted to thank the boy for saving her. He didn’t have to, and I know he took a risk getting involved. He was taking a stand against his Alpha. Which isn’t an easy feat for a full-grown werewolf, let alone a child like him. It was courageous of him. But we got separated upon arrival at the hospital.Their mother was rightfully worried and hauled them for one of the pack doctors to check on their injuries. Meanwhile, John had carried me to a different exam room. “Hello, Beta John.” an older man with salt and p

I was just relieved to know the hit to her head didn’t result in more than a minor concussion. I’m still suppressing my rage and the desire to slowly and painfully kill Sakina for even touching Sarael. That she injured her had every protective instinct in me, in Irving on high.Sarael is correct. I know that I can’t just kill Sakina, though. If she dies, the rest of their family will come looking. And while the idea of meeting your mate’s family is supposed to make you happy, I don’t want to meet her family. I don’t think I could be in the same room as any of them without feeling the urge to kill them.To not linger on those dark feelings of hate and anger, I focused on Sarael. I prefer that any day. Especially when we are touching, and I feel the sparks of the bond. It soothes me. It helps Irving to even connect with h

Walking into that room was probably the most uncomfortable I’ve felt in many years. It was a packed room with not only the ranked wolves but also the guards assigned to the ranked females. The only thing that made the situation feel less intimidating was the children in the room. The two little ones were very adorable.I gave my guard a once over. He’s not bad looking with his black hair and blue eyes. He’s not on the same level as John in the looks department, but that’s beside the point. I’m noticing a trend with the guards of the ranked females. They all have mates. Which I suppose makes sense. Ensure that the ranked male doesn’t get jealous of a male around their mate.And apparently, the guard I haven’t met is mated to Evan and Iver’s older sister. I suppose that will help make it easier to thank Iver f

For as calming as having her in my lap is, it's equally problematic. Between my natural physical reaction to her plump backside and that she's basically announced to everyone of importance in the pack that we aren’t actually a couple, I don’t know what’s more embarrassing. And to make it worse, she uses the face I’m still in the stages of wooing her as a reason I shouldn’t blame Alexander for Sakina finding my pack.I frowned as she wiggled out of my lap and declared that she would be returning home after checking on her sister. I don’t want her to go home. I want her to be here with me. I know Sakina is locked up, and therefore the immediate danger is gone, but I have this feeling this is just the tip of the iceberg.I sighed and stood up, placing a hand on the small of her back. “Is that a good idea?” Loga

I know that Alphas are supposed to be more aggressive and single-minded. In a sense, they feel they are correct, and everyone else is wrong. But Logan takes the cake. He takes all the annoying qualities I expect of an Alpha but more concentrated into his small body. And what’s more annoying, he’s a scruffy miniature version of John. That similarity in appearance to John makes it difficult to stay angry at the little twerp. At least Aurelia distracted him. Charles made a valid point about the dynamic of the mate bond. Or at least what I’ve witnessed so far being around this pack. Though it’s a two-way street. John’s just as good at distracting me from situations. That was strange, and maybe the book will explain how the mate bond affects species that aren’t werewolves. Because this is not normal.

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

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
