Chapter 7 - Tiberius

I can’t tell you how long that Shit Witch had us in that room. There were no clocks and certainly no windows to figure the time. What I wouldn’t give for a watch just to know how long this has been going on. Because I’m wondering how long it takes a grown man to bleed out. That’s a g****e search that would put me on a list.

No matter how long it had been, we hadn’t told her anything. Thales wouldn’t know anything about our current warrior count. And he certainly wouldn’t know the escape plans for something like an invasion. The plans change every six months to ensure rogues or potential enemies wouldn’t know our people’s paths.

And while I do know those things, I wouldn’t tell Shit Witch if she had a booger hanging out of her nose. So, I won’t start by giving away intel that could endanger my people. And as for her questions about Crista, we would rather die than tell her anything. Not that we could give much info now that Crista was in Incubi. I hope the Fayte sisters are safe and t

    I had hoped getting some food in their stomachs would help settle everyone. But of course, the subject of Santi and Madonie came up. I wanted to smack my twin; this was not a breakfast conversation. He was going to get Crista all worked up.And of course, with Crista getting worked up, Chesed came out. The tension between them was so thick you needed a butcher knife. We could all feel it, especially her sisters, who were watching the tense exchange between Crista and Chesed with concern.“It’s not proper breakfast conversation. Just know it will be handled.” Chesed dismi

    ‘WAKE UP!’ August’s voice jarred me awake. I frantically sat up, trying to figure out where I was, only to find I was still in the castle turret room turned into funhouse mirrors. So I’m not awake. I knew I shouldn’t have gotten my hopes up when I heard August. “Stupid fucking shit witch….” I grumbled, getting to my feet and picking shards of broken mirrors from my palms. Nothing seems to have changed in this damn place. The broken mirror was still there with the same broken image of August dying like a puzzle I didn’t want to put together. I started looking at the other mirrors hoping something in them would give me a clue on how to escape this acid trip nightmare. Looking at the mirrors, they were all paintings with me in them. What’s with the Shit Witch and art? Is that her thing, or is she pulling that from my mind? I enjoy art, but this takes it to a fucked up level. Each painting melted away to show me some nightmare scene. Behind the mirror with me as the Mona Lisa was a tor

    This is not how I wanted my first day back home to go. I’d been looking forward to returning to Nebrodi and taking on the rule of Alpha. I wanted to see my friends and find my mate if I was lucky. But it all came crashing down around me when Madonie attacked. The only friend I got to see was Tie, and that got interrupted by the invasion. Oh, how much things have changed since I went to France to receive further training to become Alpha. Sure Ignazio was always a little snot, and his best friend Gastone wasn’t much better. But I would never have imagined they’d stage a coup. When I left, we were at peace with Madonie. And for what? Power? Ignazio killed his parents to gain power sooner than they were willing to turn it over. That’s such a selfish thing to do. An Alpha should always put the needs of the pack before themselves. If Alpha Ugo didn’t feel Ignazio was ready for the role, he wasn’t obligated to transfer the title. And he was right based on Ignazio’s behavior. If the slaugh

    “What are we going to do with all this stuff? It won’t fit in your car.” Crista frowned, looking at the bags. “Lidia, have everything delivered to Alpha’s villa. Jia will know what to do with it.” I explained, giving a stern look to Lidia as we left. “Who’s Jia?” Crista questioned. That’s right. She didn’t meet Jia this morning. Oh well, that introduction can wait. “Jia is the housekeeper. Her room is on the first floor between the kitchen and garage.” I explained, sending a message to Jia to take care of the delivery of clothes. I instructed that everything should be washed and checked for damage or tampering, especially Crista’s clothes. I trust the bitches in this pack as far as I could throw them. No one is going to harm my Papa’s mate on my watch. “She’s texting her instructions as we walk.” Isadora explained, leading our group to the Town Hall. I give the building credit. It’s an impressive three-story building for many pack activities, not just the offices for the ranked wol

    I felt the darkness engulfing me, pulling me into a cold abyss. I was drowning in it, unable to breathe and my heart racing as I tried to gasp for air and reach up to the dimming light. ‘We can’t give up. Not yet. It’s not over.’ August encouraged, but even his voice sounded weak. “Hey, stay with us. I’m not explaining to our Luna that you died on my watch.” An unfamiliar voice growled encouragement as a bright light forced its way through the darkness. “Come on, Nebrodi wolf. Breath, damn it.” The voice demanded as the light clutched me, trying to pull me away from the darkness. I groaned as I was torn between the two. The voice kept demanding I stay as the light tugged harder at me. Now I know what that doll Persephone and Delilah ripped when they were toddlers felt. This is some painful shit right here. I prefer to go with the light, not that I seem to have a say in the matter. “It is not time. You still need to be of use.” The insidious voice of the Shit Witch hissed as the dar

    I snickered behind my hand as, on cue, one of the elevators went into emergency shutdown, causing alarms to sound. Poor innocent Delilah and even naive Persephone looked around, worried for their sister. “Is Crista in that elevator? Why did it stop?” The girls questioned. “I’m sure everything is just fine.” I tried to keep a straight face. I probably shouldn’t be laughing since my Papa is in the elevator, and if this were someone that wasn’t his mate he stopped the elevator to have sex with, I’d be annoyed. But this is his mate, and even if I’m older than her, I find it very amusing how quickly the D’Amore charm can work. After a few more moments, Persephone’s patience was worn thin. “Why aren’t you trying to get the elevator started!? My sister is in there! What if something is wrong!?” She questioned, getting louder and angrier with each word. That certainly isn’t going to endear her to my Papa. No one likes a cock or beaver blocker. Persephone will learn that when she’s old enou

    This wasn’t like when I fell down the pit the first time. This was an actual pit of pure darkness that I landed at the bottom of with a thud. I could faintly see the light above from the room I was dropped from before the trap door snapped shut, leaving me in darkness. If I had August, I could make my light. But I can’t feel him. Fuck, I hate this. This Witch is out of her damned mind. Does she really think I’m going to help her kill Crista? To KILL Crista?! Fuck no! She’s been huffing, smoking, injecting, swallowing, and doing suppositories of some severely bad drugs if she thinks that would ever happen. I am no one’s puppet! I don’t blindly obey anyone. Alright, I need to focus. Not an easy task without August. Task is a funny word. “A tisket, a tasket, I lost my little basket.” I hummed as I tried to get to my feet. “You’ve lost more than your basket.” A voice called out in the dark. I didn’t recognize the voice. It wasn’t August. It was too deep, too sinister to be August. It wa

    “Well, that was bullshit. Why did we have to come back here? Crista wouldn’t explain, just said not to question and go with what’s his name.” Persephone groaned as we entered the villa. I don’t know if I can tell her the reason, probably not if Crista wouldn’t tell her. “They’ll tell us when they can. For now, we just chill here. It’s not the worst place to be stuck. We have a theater room, a pool, and food.” I assured her. “MOVIE! I want to pick.” Regina grinned, latching onto the thought of the theater room. At least someone’s excited about being stuck at the villa. I just hope her excitement can distract the Fayte sisters. “That sounds relaxing. Can we have snacks too?” Delilah questioned, letting Regina’s infectious smile and happy temperament change her focus. “Of course, you can. Why don’t you all go look through our vast movie collection.” I suggested shooing them off. “Zoe and I will see about getting snacks ready.” “This way.” Regina happily led the Fayte sisters to the t

    With Dream Mate completed, everyone must wonder, “What’s next!?”Well, I’m going to tell you, this may not be the schedule you were hoping to get, but this is what’s next.The Destroyer will be posted six days a week. Thankfully for my brain, it’s already written, and I’m just editing and making minor changes before posting a chapter.

  • Dream Mate   Epilogue - Tiberius

    Six years! Can you believe it’s been six years since my world was turned upside down in the worst and best ways? I sure the hell can’t. Six years ago today, I was standing in my Delta heir room getting ready for my best friend and Alpha heir Thales’ welcome home bash with my fingers crossed he’d find his mate in our Beta heir Crista Fayte. I was so off base on that line of thinking. We will have our annual memorial to remember the lives of those we lost and celebrate what their sacrifices protected. I hope I’ve made Thales, my parents, and his parents proud as Alpha, even if some days I feel like I’m a hoax, just a stand-in for the real Alpha. There are times, fewer as the years have gone on, that I keep waiting for Thales to walk into the office and tell me to get out of his chair and stop fucking his Luna. Okay, the second part I only felt that first year. Katrina is my mate, so Thales being here or not wouldn’t change that I was meant to be with her. But if he’d lived, she’d be hi

  • Dream Mate   Epilogue - Katrina

    It’s been over a year since the Sicilian pack war started, and my life changed forever. Well, not just my life but everyone’s changed after Icky Iggy and Shit Witch Melania launched their war. Nebrodi took the brunt, losing more than half of the pack in the massacre, including their ranked wolves and one of my mates. There was so much loss in that war that it sometimes was hard to focus on what was gained. I know my family will never forget what we lost or what we gained. I lost Thales before I knew he was meant to be mine, and we all lost Bisnonna Chiara. But I got Tiberius, my magic, and my wolf. Papa gained Crista, and now they have my adorable sisters, Gwen and Christina. André gained Darren and his adopted son Lando from this war. So while what was lost will never be forgotten, I know we should appreciate what we have and are building towards. Papa is experiencing fatherhood at the side of the woman he loves and was always meant to be with. I love getting to visit Papa and see h

  • Dream Mate   Chapter 70 - Katrina

    The last thing I remembered was feeling too tired to keep my eyes open as Tiberius passed me to Papa. How long was I asleep? Where am I? I shouldn’t be too worried, I’d last been with Papa, and nothing bad could ever happen to me when I was with him. And I didn’t feel panicked about where I was because while the bed under me wasn’t familiar, the scent around me was. That all-so-consuming smell of basking in the summer sun, the intense orange and golden amber scent that I have known since my first shift as Tiberius’ scent. It only made sense that he would smell of sunshine with his bright and warm personality. And summer is one of my favorite seasons. Ironically winter is my other. So the presence of his scent meant I was near him or at least in a room where he spent much time. If I’m not at our villa, where am I? And why does it smell like Tiberius? These questions and more faded from my mind as the bond ignited my soul as I felt Tiberius’ lips against mine. My lips moved in tandem w

  • Dream Mate   Chapter 69 - Tiberius

    I have a minimal worldview about magic. And I’m sorry to say most of that is negative. I don’t deny that there are good witches out there. I’m mated to the best one. But my time dealing with Shit Witch, yes, I refuse to use her name - monsters don’t deserve words, has left a bad taste in my mouth and a negative view of witch stuff. But despite all that, I was intrigued to witness this ascension ritual Katrina would perform. She’s studied harder than anyone else in the ranked hierarchy for tonight, and most of it was for this ritual. This was much memorization of incantations and what order everything was supposed to happen. Our oath ceremony was about knowing how to respond to a question. Okay, so I flipped through her binder the other night. I wanted to know what she would have to do and why she was spending so much time with her nose in the binder and the Crone grimoire. And I gotta say it looked like a lot. I didn’t understand most of what was going on, but as long as she did, it

    Getting through the pack ceremony was a cakewalk. Weird but easy. Strange because till Nina woke up, I never had a link, and even when she did wake up, I only unlocked my family link. But as everyone after me sipped from that cup, I felt a Nebrodi link open. I could hear the voices of everyone in the pack, well, everyone old enough to have a wolf. It was an incredible feeling to be connected to them. It was overwhelming. For those too young, I know the link will open to them when they come of age, and I look forward to it. How does Papa do this? How can he be tied to everyone in Incubi and not lose his mind? All their thoughts and feelings quickly outnumbered my own as the others took their seats. ‘Crazy, I’m the one saying this, but focus, Katrina.’ Tiberius’ voice pushed past all the other voices, and his feelings of serenity overshadowed everyone else’s swirling emotions. ‘A pack link is overwhelming, especially for anyone of rank. But you need to focus. Focus on your thoughts an

    I’ve said it before, and I’ll keep saying it for the rest of my life; I am one lucky son of a bitch to have Katrina as my mate. There is no doubt she was born to lead. Her organizational skills are out of this world, just like her imagination. I know the outfits she had Imma create were from André’s mind, but everything else about this ceremony is all her. Nebrodi is not as stuck on tradition as other packs. But the practices we do have Katrina followed to a T. We don’t have a set location for our ceremony, usually hosting it at the pack house. I’d snuck a peak at Katrina’s ceremony grounds, which looked amazing. Since our ceremony merged with her Coven ritual, she wanted it performed outside. And something about the ritual will mark the space as a sacred space within the pack for the Coven. The whole scene is witchy and exciting with all the candles and symbols. Like in the center of the clearing, a stone altar had been placed at the center of an elaborately created image created fr

  • Dream Mate   Chapter 66 - Katrina

    Preparing for the ceremony took up a lot of my time. While there may not be defined guidelines for Incubi, certain traditions must be followed. And some of the practices have to be modified to suit our ranked wolves. The rules were written for males to be the ranked wolves, and fewer restrictions were given to their mates. As Luna, I’m the only one held to a set standard. And this wasn’t just a Nebrodi ceremony I had to deal with as The Coven would be there. I am expected to perform a new moon ritual to assume my position in the Coven as Crone officially. Historically the successor ritual is performed on a new moon. It is a time to plant the seeds of the future, which means my promises as their leader. Which is probably why my binder is twice as big as everyone else’s. There is so much I have to remember. The Luna stuff, I’m good with that. I was the daughter of an Alpha. I saw how a pack was run and understood the duties of a Luna, even if our pack lacked one. It’s the Crone stuff I

  • Dream Mate   Chapter 65 - Tiberius

    I need to think more before sending gifts to the Fayte sisters. I didn’t think sending her Gwen’s dress would cause a fashion emergency worthy of André skipping an Alpha meeting. I knew how much that dress meant to Crista and how she’d dreamed of wearing it for her Beta ceremony. I hadn’t considered the Incubi traditions she’d have to follow or just how fired up Katrina would get about abiding by them. The Incubi ceremony went off without a hitch, and so did the after-party. And thanks to André’s quick thinking, Incubi tradition was upheld, and Crista got to feel a connection to her mother on such a special day. A wardrobe change was an ideal solution. It made her entrance at the reception a more significant wow factor. So overall, I give the day two thumbs up. When the Faytes joined Incubi, I was sad when I lost the pack connection to Crista and felt it when Persephone and Delilah took their oaths even though they didn’t have their wolves yet. But on the bright side, since I’m mate
