Chapter 46 - John
Last Updated:
2021-10-26 18:00:51I should have washed my clothes last night or run them through the dryer to get rid of the wrinkles. Maybe Sarael has an iron around I could use. It, of course, won’t change the fact I’m wearing the same clothes from yesterday, but at least I’d feel more presentable if they were ironed. So I took the chance to hunt an iron down, put on my boxers, and carry my clothes over my arm as I stepped out of the bedroom.
Of course, I was greeted by the sound of a hiss. Glancing down to the left, I saw Shu with his fur on end, ready to slash at me. ‘Stupid cat.’ Irving snorted. “Good morning to you too, Shu.” I greeted. “Jesus, you couldn’t put clothes on?” Khalid wrinkled his nose leaning on the kitchen island as he wiped it with a paper towel. Great, the boy’s awake. Hopefully, he didn’t hear us in the shower. ‘I hope he did. Serves him r

I didn’t even make it to my door without being taunted. “Goood morning John. How’s Sarael?” Aurelia smirked as she stopped seeing me in the hallway. I groaned and ran a hand over my face. “She’s fine. I already told your mate to drop it because I won’t be discussing my private life. I would appreciate it if you did so as well. I'm just getting changed, then I have a meeting.” I sighed, pointing at my door, which I was only two rooms away from.“Okay. And I’m not looking to taunt you. I’m happy for you, John. You deserve to be happy. I like Sarael. She’ll make a good addition to the Kinsley family and the pack.” Aurelia assured me, patting my arm. “Just don’t screw it up. If I lose my florist for the wedding and I'm taking it out of your hide.” she teased. “I’d offer to join this meeting, but I have a

The room was silent as we waited for Kurt to answer me. “I… I don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t know someone by that name.” Kurt blatantly lied. “Do not lie to us, boy.” Logan growled. “Her brother saw her with you in Paris three days ago. So stop the bullshit.” I sighed, trying to keep my calm. I heard someone whispering in the background, but it was too soft to hear over the phone.“If that's her in the background, tell her that her Aunt Sarael needs to see her. That she can help her and her wolf.” I explained. “How…” a female voice spoke. “How do you know who I am? Why would you associate with my brother? How do you know my aunt?” she questioned. “Hello, Isis. It is nice to speak with you. I am Beta John Kinsley of the Bloodmoon pack and

“So you went from having an expansive garden and greenhouse. Where you were looked to for all things related to plants to this?” Khalid arched an eyebrow as he slowly walked around my shop. “To owning my own successful business and living my life the way I see fit rather than how someone else does?” I countered, folding my arms, giving him a narrowed look.How dare he make it sound like my life is somehow less than it was or could have been if I stayed in the guild. I should ring his fucking neck. Becky gulped, looking between us. “Um, so I’m going to go start on the orders for today.” she said, nodding her head to the back room. “Thank you, Becky.” I nodded, not even looking at her.“I’m not putting you down, Auntie." he prefaced. Not putting me down my ass. "It’s just I know if you

“Did you get a hold of Kurt? What news about my niece?” I asked. “We contacted Kurt.” John began. “We?” I asked. “Logan, Charles, Jonathan, and myself. We called Kurt, and after he finally answered, we determined that Isis was with him and she was his mate. They assumed Isis was adopted, and that’s why she is a werewolf. I didn’t go into details of her conception. Nor did I go into details about why she can’t shift. I felt these were subjects not to discuss over the phone, let alone without you.” he explained.Crap! I mean, I had an inkling that Kurt was her mate based on Khalid’s description of their closeness in Paris. But there was still a shred of hope. I don’t want my niece to have to deal with more pressure and danger. And becoming the Luna to a pack of rogues is both of those things.

I tried to keep myself busy for the rest of the day. It was impossible to focus on work. Thankfully, Logan and Charles had that covered. So instead, I made my way to the training ground. Various pack members bowed their heads as I passed, pausing their training to pay respect. I barely nodded back. I was too pent up. I had too much on my mind to be polite.I went straight into the changing area, exchanging my black slacks and white dress shirt for gray tear-away athletic shorts and no shirt. I wasn’t sure if I’d only train myself or unleash Irving, but it was likely to happen. I headed back out and went for the ring. Currently, the ring is occupied by Colby Delaney and Warren Kinney.I suppose it makes sense. Azriel is currently on duty watching over Sarael, which gives Colby the time to train more. And if Warren is here, that means Nige

When we pulled into the parking lot of the simple garage, a man that resembled Alexander, though with a few gray hairs, walked out with a smile. “You must be John Kinsley.” he greeted, wiping his hands with a cloth before offering it. “You look just like your brother. Not that I’ve met my man, but I’ve seen pictures. I still owe him a drink for letting my boy spend so much time at his place and whipping him into better shape.” Robert Whitland smiled. “Pleasure, sir. And yes, I’m John. This is my girlfriend Sarael, and the grump in the back is her nephew. We’re here to pick up her car.” I greeted, shaking his hand. “Right, right. The Ford Alexander towed here yesterday. Got it all ready for you, Miss.” he nodded, giving a warm smile to Sarael. “Thank you so much for letting it be towed here. I don’t know what happened with it, but it just wouldn’t start back up for me. I had to take an uber to my next appo

I wish Khalid hadn’t stormed out. Now I’m not just worried about Isis but him as well. I know he can handle himself, but he’s on werewolf territory, and it’s not like John or his brother have told the pack of his presence, let alone that he was allowed to wander freely. The only thing that kept me from worrying too much about him was that John sent one of my guards to tail Khalid.“Do you really think Isis will be safe?” I frowned, setting out the take-out. I ordered black pepper beef and steamed white rice for John, my favorite pineapple chicken and steamed rice for myself, and some won tons to share. “Yes. The Incubi Pack has had their image as being the strongest and more ruthless pack in Europe for a reason.” John responded, pouring two glasses of wine.“And if Alpha Chesed… Alec, whatever he goes

She said YES! Irving was practically doing backflips in my head because he was so thrilled. She agreed to let us mark her. ‘Of course, there's a catch.’ Irving grumbled. ‘She makes a valid point. There may be imperative information in that book about our mate bond. As it stands, if we mark her now, we don’t know what will happen. She could even die from the pain for all we know.’ I pointed out. That shut him up. He wouldn’t risk Sarael's safety just to mark her. Sarael smiled and returned to her meal. If anything, I hope reading through the book can take her mind off her stress regarding her family. With our meals eaten, we moved to the living room to read. Sarael already had the book from Shea and another old book out waiting for me on the sofa. “So, what is the other book?” I asked, nodding to it. “Oh, that’s one of mine. It’s the book I used for bindin

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

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
