Chapter 36 - Sarael
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I 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.

Beta's Surprise Mate Chapter 37 - John
Of everything she could have said, I did not expect her to say I would be staying. I always feel like it’s one step forward and two steps back with Sarael. I never know if I’m actually making progress with her. It’s rather dizzying. And as welcoming the thought of staying here with her is, I fear that it’s just a ploy. That she’ll eventually tell me to leave, and then she’ll be left unguarded. Irving, of course, doesn’t think rationally about any of this. All he heard was that our mate had invited us to stay with her. To stay the night with her. He’s a little over-excited at the idea of spending the night with her and what that might mean. I don’t know which of us wants to not be a virgin more, but I at least can think clearly to not get ahead of myself. For all I know, if she doesn’t send me away, she’ll have me sleep on the sofa or in her guest room. Irving
Beta's Surprise Mate Chapter 38 - Sarael
He can’t really mean it. He can’t genuinely say he loves me. We’ve only known each other for a short time, and in that time we’ve only spent a couple of days together. Hell, we’ve only been on one date. Sure, in that time, we’ve learned a lot about each other. He certainly knows more about my past than any boyfriend I’ve ever had. That includes my very first boyfriend back in Cairo when I was fourteen. And as much as I want to continue to argue, to give him all the reasons he shouldn’t and couldn’t love me, I can’t. This man, he’s from another time or planet. I don’t know. But no one talks the way he does. Or at least no one I’ve ever met does. All these sweet words have me feeling light-headed. Light-headed and horny as hell. I’ve already said it should be illegal for John to smile. Well, I’m adding to my list of illegal things. It should be illegal fo
Beta's Surprise Mate Chapter 39 - John
We have officially gone well beyond any of my experience. I’d only kissed Lydia a few times when we were in our early teens before we shifted and knew we weren’t the other’s mate. There weren’t really any feelings or strong connections between us. She just happened to be there since her grandmother was mine and Logan’s nanny. So it was more about geographic convenience. And I suppose for her, the fact I was the Alpha heir played a factor in why she wanted to kiss me.Till Sarael, I could at least look back on those moments with Lydia with some fondness to fight off the loneliness being without my mate evoked. Lydia, of course, long ago moved on, joining a pack on the east coast with her mate. I was very happy for her and her mate. But now that I’ve found Sarael, those moments are just faded memories not worth replaying.Kissi
Beta's Surprise Mate Chapter 40 - John
I didn’t entirely ignore Irving’s input, but I did sort of tune him out. It’s not like he’s done this before either, so not like he can offer any pro tips. I don’t need a side seat driver, so to speak, while trying to give my mate pleasure. All I can go on is instinct and the way her body reacts. Especially the latter, as I want to please her above all else.Flattening my tongue, I licked the length of her, stopping just short of her clit, then sucked gently at her labia. Teasing her over and over with this alternating pattern. I tried different speeds and levels of pressure, learning what she likes. Her hips thrust hard against me when I went faster, but she also moaned louder and dug her fingers into my hair when I applied more pressure.After a while of this, I switched it up to when I stopped just below her clit. I
Beta's Surprise Mate Chapter 41 - Sarael
HOLY SHIT! My first time was soooo not this good. Virgins are supposed to be clumsy, awkward, nervous, and generally unsure. And foreplay? HA, that was barely a thing least of all pleasant. My first time had actually turned me off to sex for at least a year. My second time was better, but the guy wasn’t a virgin. And even then, most guys I’ve been with are selfish and more worried about getting theirs than my pleasure.So what’s the difference with John? Does he just have good instincts because of Irving? I mean, I didn’t have to yell at him or sigh in frustration when he did whatever he liked when I wasn’t feeling it. I did direct him some tugging on his hair and shifting my hips, so he was touching where I needed him to. Maybe it’s the mate bond?I can dissect it later if I even bother. After all, as the saying goes,
Beta's Surprise Mate Chapter 42 - John
Why? Why can we not just get a day of peace? Is it honestly too much to ask to enjoy a day with my mate where no one is trying to attack us? A day without one of her godforsaken killer family showing up? Seriously Moon Goddess? One day that’s all I ask. Apparently, this is not that day. I’d gone from happy and comfortable holding my very naked mate in my arms to standing in the predawn hours staring down her hunter nephew. I don’t know if I trust this kid or not. Irving is on the fence as well. The boy had been lurking in the yard, and her cat certainly didn’t like him. ‘But he gave up his weapons, and what the fuck does a cat know?’ Irving snorted. Okay, so he makes a valid point about the cat. Though Sarael did say, it was no ordinary cat. Trained to detect the supernatural, magic, and danger to its master. My eyes narrowed at the boy. It’s bad enough
Beta's Surprise Mate Chapter 43 - Sarael
Does it make me a terrible aunt that I don’t trust my nephew? Sure he gave up his weapons and isn’t currently using any enchantments. But he’s still been raised to be a hunter, and I know what that means. He might not be as deranged as Sakina appears to be, but he’s still a danger to John and his pack.If I have to choose between my family and John, well, I’ve already made that choice. I stopped Sakina from killing that boy. If I can take my sister down, I most certainly can and will take her son down. I just hope Khalid isn’t here with bad intentions. At least when it comes to finding and being sure Isis is safe, he can set aside his issues with werewolves.I don’t know what John found in that book, but I’m sure it’s going to be relevant to everything Khalid has told us. Though John’s reaction w
Beta's Surprise Mate Chapter 44 - John
“Okay, so we’ve established Isis’s wolf has awakened, and despite not being about to shift and properly communicate with Isis, can use her power. Which makes finding her that much more difficult and more imperative.” I sighed. “Okay, so back to what John asked. What about seeking refuge with werewolves?” Sarael questioned. Khalid sighed. “Okay, so as I was saying. When Isis went missing, we started searching everywhere for her. She wasn’t in the house, at the guild, or anywhere in town. So we split up and expanded our search. Father, mother, myself, and even grandmother and grandfather.” he outlined. “We’ve called other hunters around the world from our network to keep an eye out for her. I guess that is a bad idea given current information. I should probably call the other hunters off.” he frowned. “Probably for the best. They won’t care that she’s an Adio. They’ll just want her dead or worse.” Sarael frowned. “About three days ago, I found her.” Khalid sighed. “Wait, you found h

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
