Chapter 59 - John
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I rolled my eyes, ignoring the teasing grins of my brother and his mate watching us leave. “So to the grocery store then your place?” I made sure of the plans as I led her to my car. “Yes. What sounds good for dinner?” she asked as we pulled away from the pack.
“Hmm, not sure. Guess we see what looks good. Mrs. Carmichael is always big about making food fresh. So she plans meals the day off, always buying the meat fresh that day based on what looks best at the butcher counter.” I shrugged. “It makes sense. So now that we told Logan and Aurelia about our plans. I think we should tell Khalid.” Sarael sighed.
I frowned. “Sarael… I know he’s your nephew, and you want to trust him. But I still don’t. I think it could be detrimental if he were to know our plans for marking each other. Especially the part of you possibly getting a wolf spirit. He could attempt

Beta's Surprise Mate Chapter 60 - Sarael
I laughed against his lips. John had become more forward and at least open about what he wanted. Though it still takes me a little by surprise when sex is initiated by him rather than Irving or me. I swear all those years of celibacy had the opposite effect than it would most men.Most men would be begging for sex day and night, trying to turn any moment into a chance to get laid once they’d finally broken their celibacy. But not John. No, John is still reserved. The man can spend a whole two-hour movie on the sofa with me and not make a move beyond cuddling me.I had to entice him the other night by intentionally wiggling, so my ass pressed against him. Thankfully Irving got the hint and knocked sense into John. That’s when I realized if I want intimacy, I can’t wait for him to initiate as my exes would. With John, either I initia
Beta's Surprise Mate Chapter 61 - Sarael
It had taken almost a week for John to get Logan onboard to allow Khalid to visit Sakina. Sakina hadn’t managed to cause more trouble since the last time we saw her. But then again, she’s been in a straitjacket this whole time. Hard to cause trouble without your hands. They don’t even let her hands-free when they bring her food. I had tried to object to this treatment. But Logan was having none of it. He said my sister was a piece of shit who behaved worse than an animal. And therefore, she can eat like the monstrous animal she is. Was hard to argue with him after that. I guess I should be glad he’s even feeding her. Finally, today was the day that Logan agreed we could bring Khalid to see her. “Khalid, I expect you to behave. I do not want you giving her any indications or secret communications.” John warned as he put a blindfold over my nephew's eyes.
Beta's Surprise Mate Chapter 62 - John
I had borrowed a jeep used by the pack rather than taking my SUV into the forest to camp. As much as I’m sure it could handle the terrain, I don't want to get my SUV dirty when I can use one of the jeeps specifically for this. We take pups camping usually every full moon even though they are too young for their wolves. We want them to know our territory and learn how to navigate and survive it even without their wolf. I wanted to comfort Sarael and ease her worries and anxiety about our mating tonight. But it was hard when I had my own. There is so much uncertainty with this endeavor. We have only what the book says. But there was only one instance of a ranked wolf mated to a human referenced. All I can do is trust the moon goddess and hope that nothing goes wrong. “Have you heard anything about Khalid?” she asked. Well, that’s certainly not a subject I
Beta's Surprise Mate Chapter 63 - Sarael
It was exhilarating riding on Irving’s back. And unlike last time, we aren’t rushing off to danger. This time there is no one trying to kill anyone. It’s just us out here in nature. It’s been a long time since I’ve been camping. I can at least be sure this camping trip will be more memorable than my camping during college. I can only assume spending more time in nature will be something we do more often. Especially if I develop a wolf spirit. Twice a month, I’ll be able to shift and run through the forest with Irving at his side. I blinked as we came to a stop in a clearing. It was obviously a place that has seen campers in the past. “It’s beautiful out here.” I commented as I slipped off Irving’s back. The space had obviously been cleared, but I could still see native flowers poking out around the surrounding cedar trees that surrounded the space.
Beta's Surprise Mate Chapter 64 - John
Everything seemed to be going perfectly. Precisely as the book indicated. I marked Sarael, and she was able to mark me. But then it went to hell and fast. She felt like she was burning up, her whole body was shaking, and I knew it wasn’t from pleasure. Her eyes had rolled into the back of her head. It was almost like she was having a seizure. I’d quickly moved off her calling out to her, hoping maybe she’d hear me. But she didn’t. ‘I can’t hear her. If the bond is complete, I should hear her thoughts. Feel what she feels.’ I was frantic. Irving whimpered because another reason we wouldn’t hear her was if she were dead. But if she was dead we’d feel it. Our hearts would be ripping to shreds. I wasn’t sure what to do, so I gently shifted to her side and treated this like a seizure. Right now, I just need to keep her airways clear and wait. This was
Beta's Surprise Mate Chapter 65 - Sarael
You know the saying ‘slept like the dead.’ I think that’s an accurate term for how I slept. I was so drained of energy I barely remember returning to my human form. I was a little disoriented when I felt the cold air, followed by John’s voice telling me to wake up. The sun was barely over the horizon. We had a late and hectic night. I am sore all over. ‘What is this strange feeling? Why do I feel panicked and incredibly pissed off? That’s not my emotions. Nova? Are you panicking and pissed?’ I questioned, trying to place the feelings. Nova yawned, stretching as she got to her feet. ‘Nope. I was having a happy dream about Irving biting the back of my neck while he fucked me hard.’ she sighed longingly. This was going to take getting used to. ‘Okay. So it wasn’t your emotions. So then…’ I didn’t have to finish the thought as John made it clear they came from hi
Beta's Surprise Mate Chapter 66 - John
The fight at the airstrip was utter chaos. I don’t even know how Sakina got so many Hunters here so quickly. But my pack and I were not letting them leave here alive. Hunters haven’t had the gall to cross into Bloodmoon territory in decades. Well, this blood bath will help ensure that fear is restored. Maybe we let one or two live to spread the word that the Bloodmoon pack is still just as ferocious as ever. I didn’t want to get separated from Sarael, but Irving had other ideas. ‘Sarael is a skilled fighter. And now that we’ve completed the bond, she has our strengths and Nova. Our mate will handle her sister. She vowed to do so as Beta, let her.’ Irving said as he rammed through the chaotic scene. We took down hunters, ripping into throats, and tore off a few limbs, making our way to Khalid. ‘Fine. We trust Sarael and Nova to handle Sakina. But I told
Beta's Surprise Mate Chapter 67 - John
For a moment, he stopped. Yellow eyes narrowed at me before growling and spitting out the leg, taking a step in my direction. Does this boy want to challenge me? Oh, this is not the time or place for his shit. “KURT STEPHAN ADLER, YOU WILL STAND DOWN! GODRIC! STAND DOWN NOW!” I commanded but readied for a fight. Kurt launched himself at me in a blind rage. I was quick to catch him, stopping him from clamping his jaw into my shoulder. “I know you are angry. I know you are in pain. I know you are afraid. I’m all those things too. But they will be okay. Isis will be okay. Mikali healed her.” I offered calm assurances as he snarled, trying to bite me. But as I said, Isis would be okay, and Mikali healed her, the fight slowly left him. Godric whimpered. ‘Really?’ Godric questioned. “Yes. I sent one of Sarael’s guards to watch over her as she was transported to the

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
