Heart of the Bayou Beasts chapter 28
Beau “Shit!” I tried to warn Wyatt back as the vortex of wind whipped around Bri but he didn’t listen. I watched them as they seemed to freeze in time, stuck in the eyes of the tempest that was Brianna. I watched as my Alpha gingerly leaned in whispering words I couldn’t hear. Watching her respond to him from afar was mind-blowing. The man I knew showed no interest in women, I didn't think he knew how. Sure, over the years he got his cock wet a few times between here and there and there and here, but it was never anything more than a release. This one he was zeroed in on. The softness of his touches, the consideration of his support for her. Why she seemed to have forgiven him so easily I didn't know, but something had happened or was happening between them. “What was that?” I asked as I held open the door and he helped her inside. "I'm sorry I’ve never lost control like that before.” Her haggard voice provided. “Thank the goddess that didn't happen in New Orleans,” she mumbled,

“You saw her? I heard you, she talked to you.” She interrogated looking at Wyatt. “Yes,” he admitted to her. “What's going on?” I interjected. “One moment he's an Alpha-hole and you're a damn torrent of wind and the next. I don't know what I just witnessed.” They both looked at me and then each other.It was Brianna who spoke, “Sometimes in order to control things, I go within myself. Usually, I see a girl's memories. They are very soothing, calm moments from a girl I’ve never met. She's still quite young. Nothing like today has ever happened, she’s never interacted, this was different. I don't know who that was, but she felt like me, like the girl feels when I see her. Like she's kin to me or something.” Brianna tried to explain “Who, who was,” I was utterly lost and confused.Wyatt responded this time. “Somehow when I gripped her shoulder I could see what she saw through the other person’s eyes. An older woman on a porch looking at a forest, She claimed to be checking in, and sai

Beau“Mates?” she asked. “My mother and father were fated mates, sounds a lot like what you say the witches had in the beginning. They were the first fated mates to our pack in 50 years. Wyatt’s parents were a chosen couple, as wolves, when those kinds of bonds are made in love, losing the other half is a death sentence. Even though his mom was never made a wolf she passed from a broken heart,” I admitted. “Where are their mothers?” I shook my head and sighed. “They couldn’t hack red werewolf kids. We had a 4, 2, and 6-month-old at 15 and 17. Wyatt gave up everything and even made me finish school while he battled the courts to get the boys for us legally. Not to mention dealing with the Beast he inherited without any guidance.” She let a tear fall. “So they have been yours since then and nobody else has helped you?” She asked. “Yes,” I answered simply. She got very quiet before she spoke again. “All I ever wanted when I was little was for my mother to want or approve of me. She

WyattI stalked across the island over to the boy's stilt cabin. It was bigger, and a little more homey, than ours with Beau’s mother’s touches. My mom had been more of a plain Jane kind of human woman, quick to bite when you did wrong and her praise wasn’t easy to win. All the same, I missed her just as much as I missed Beau’s mom. Even her haphazard dinners and lack of putting any effort into the finer parts of life, she was simple and practical, gave no shits , yet was easygoing all at the same time. ‘Pick your battles wisely Wyatt, or the world will eat you alive," she once told me. I wish I had remembered that 45 minutes ago. My mom wasn’t a Luna, being a ‘Rougarou’s Luna,’ meant the Rougarou found and chose his goddess-chosen match without knowing if the bond was there or not. The only way to find out for sure was to do the mate rite under the full moon when The Beast was most forward. We often found ourselves paired with chosen human mates, but changing them was possible and

Wyatt“She is some kind of very powerful witch. For now, she stays until it is safe for her to leave or until we decide differently.” Something ticked hard in my chest as I let the words out. “That being said, I expect you to watch your manners, women require treading a bit more carefully around than you are used to with each other. Be respectful, and do not ask too many questions. It's okay to talk to her, but she's been through a lot, get to know her, not where she came from.” I advised. The younger two scrunched up their faces and Bastain narrowed his eyes at me. “Let's just say I already had to apologize myself for digging in too deeply to her past and it's not something I want you boys having to think too hard about. Not everyone, even people in pretty houses, with maids and cooks have happy pasts. Stick to what she openly wants to tell you. Poking your nose where it doesn't belong is rude and I don’t think you’ll like her response.” They all looked at each other nervously. “W

Beau“Is there anything I can help with?” She asked. “Oh,” I said, leaving Wyatt to his wandering thoughts of the strange encounters of the Brianna kind. “I washed the clothes you had on the other night, they’re out back on the line but probably won’t be dry for an hour or two so I’ll show you the shower in a bit, I'm sure you want to wash up,” I let her know.“Thank you,” she said, with a look of relief, “that would be great.” “So this is him? The gator?” she asked, gesturing toward the meat before gingerly touching her head as if just realizing how close to death she had come. She winced making Wyatt’s eyes narrow, mother hen indeed. “You alright?” he asked, moving closer to her and peering down from his height to where she was testing her scalp. “Mon Sha, let me see,” he said softly. There it was again, the endearing distinction coming out of nowhere. As her hand fell away from her heavy mass of hair, messily piled on top of her head he slid one hand up the opposite side of h

WyattBeau didn’t get it and he wouldn’t unless I elaborated and that wasn’t going to happen, words couldn’t describe what encompassed the allure I felt for this woman. So it was all right by me that he remained in the dark for the time being. I wasn’t saying shit. I finished seasoning the meat we would smoke and the strips we would turn into jerky and washed my hands as Beau stacked them up. We each took a pile covering the top with an empty sheet to keep the flys off. Bri came around the corner at that moment, her caramel hair brushed, fluffy waves framing the soft curves and angles of her face and the long length of it hanging down to the small of her back, perfect for wrapping around my fist and,___ Moon above I needed to get my head somewhere else.“I’ll clean up in here for you,” she said propping her hip against the counter and leaning into it, she flipped a tress back, exposing the milky pale shoulder that the neck of my shirt fell off of, and the all too pronounced collar b

Bri I nosed around looking for the radio and adjusted it a bit, feeling out the sound waves till I found a bluegrass jazz channel that made it past the static. I turned it up before I started to clean the mess they had made in the kitchen. I was singing along, wiping down the counters and scrubbing out sinks as I swayed dramatically to the beat. When I suddenly realized I was not alone. I spun around my eyes finding their mark as Beau leaned against the corner of the kitchen wall where it headed out the back past what I guess was his room. “Enjoy the show?” I asked, lobbing my rag at him which he caught, a sly lazy smirk on his devastatingly handsome face. His drawl came out deep and gruff, I schooled my eyes to him instead of allowing them to wander the expanse of tanned skin taut over hard muscle. “Didn’t know us lil folks was in the presence of a well-cultured woman, though I cannot vet your reading choices yet, however, your choice in music is étonnamment superbe (surprisingly

WyattOn the ride to the truck, I found myself gripping my chest, Beau with his head leaning against the window did the same, the pain scorched and burned and though I knew the heartache would always be there this was more than my own. Beau’s eyes squeezed shut and a tear fell. I glanced at Zoey keeping quiet in the passenger seat leaning forward as she wound her way around narrow streets.“Promise me you will watch over her,” I asked. Zoey glanced at me as I gritted my teeth against the pain blooming in my chest.“You have my word,” Zoey answered quietly. I gazed out the window unseeing as the streets of New Orleans passed by.“I know she loves you both, very much,” Zoey said, swallowing hard. This had to be hard for her, knowing what Bri was sacrificing, what we all were, and being the only one who knew it all. A lump had grown in my throat as I gritted through the emotions of this “separation” and took a steading breath.“If she ever needs us, we will be there,” I let her know as Z

BriI woke to a rapt at the door moving felt wrong as the men growled in slumber and I pulled away, throwing one of their shirts on to answer the door. Thankfully it was Zoey as I leaned against the door jam not bothering to button the shirt and she handed me our bags. Her eyes scanned me as Wyatt came up behind me growling but I pushed my ass out to block him before he realized he was naked. Typical male Alpha bullshit dealing with his possessive female.I just passed the bags to him before I gripped Zoey’s hand like a vice as my emotions rose. “Give us some time, don’t leave me yet.” I bit my lip, emotions coursing through me.“I'm not going anywhere ma ami,” Zoey said, her eyes sad as they met mine. She knew the toll weighing on my heart perhaps, but not the one tethered to my soul. I nodded to her before ducking back into the room. My face fell as I faced them.“This is it,” I said, as both men approached me, my back leaned against the door.“We are only a few hours away,” Beau s

BriBeau placed slow-moving molten kisses down my back when he came to the dip in my backside where the dress covered my ass his fingers deftly began unclasping it when the skirt finally fell open, Wyatt undid the clasp at my neck and the entire thing slid into a glimmering pool of glittering fabric at my feet. Beau collected it and I stepped over it in my heels before he laid it out over a chair in the corner.Wyatt growled, “You went into that room without any underwear?”“Did you not see the dress?” he looked about to go feral on me and I was glad for it. Beau returned only to sink to his knees behind me as Wyatt's large calloused hands began to work my breasts as his tongue warred with mine. Beau’s lips pressed against the small of my back and descended. When he reached the seam of my ass Wyatt yanked one leg up high on his hip, steading me with an arm around my waist. The air hit my damp core and caused me to shiver. The next thing I knew Beau's mouth had found a mission. My dr

WyattBri had been magnificent, the amount of power that had poured through her, that she had siphoned into us for our wolves to take shape outside of ourselves had been immense. I could have said it shocked me, but that would be a lie. Our Moonbeam was more than a common witch. She hadn’t hesitated, barely batted an eye as she became judge, jury, and executioner to the Vipers who had done such unspeakable wrongs against her. She wore her scars for all to see and I loved her more for overcoming it all. It hit me then, this was our last night. Her very power marked her as the rightful head of this seat on the council. When she had claimed it, no one had dared to oppose her.When the doors had unlatched a few cowards took off. I watched her note them. Analyzing who they were and how she would have to manage the aftermath, those who would oppose this spectacle. I stood prone and mute as did Beau. Her father's supporters and those brave enough walked before her and bowed low expressing th

He looked too strong for his age as he filled out the light grey tuxedo, a plaid handkerchief tucked ornately into his pocket. He nodded looking around at the now vacant dias.“Seems like it’s ma turn Little Bird,” he said, his accent thick and not any I recognized. Bri scowled at him. “You can try tae kill meh, lass but it wulny work. Yae urny ready for aw the answers yae seek. It’s still tae be seen if yae earn them.“What the fuck is that supposed to mean,” Bri spat. “You were always a strange one, I could never quite figure you out,” Bri admitted. “That you weren’t the worst of them, doesn’t get you out of this Silas, you will be judged.” Bri pointed out.“Judge me aw yae wish, I care not.

Beau“Fucking disgusting pedophile freak, and a necro to boot,” Brianna tutted, she looked at her fingernails and shook her head, “I wonder if I took more than your ability to walk when you came looking for me. Do you know how hard it was to not kill you on the spot every time you touched me? To endure it so I could get out? Just so I could gain my full strength to come back and seek retribution for everything? She smiled towards her mother, “You don’t get to go to hell for killing my father. You wanted purgatory and I have someone here that can send you somewhere better. And you won't have any power there, will she?” She turned casually to Wyatt in question. “No,” he growled out, his canines showing his face shadowed in the angles that marked him as a predator, as he sat precariously in the lane between shifting and humanity. I wasn’t any better off as I struggled to keep my claws in. Brianna set loose her mother.“You little bitch you ruined everything! From the day Pierre brought y

BeauWithin Bri lay the power of the moon, pure and clean and good. Their cruelty had created something far darker and more sinister within her. They didn’t anticipate how that darkness would protect the light. How Bri’s mind would find a way to survive everything they put her through, and how the mysterious girl would fuel the light with hope.Andrew smirked as the crowd gasped in awe. He bowed low. “I, Andrew Carlson, offer you my allegiance and my loyalty. I bid for your place as high priestess of the North American Council of Witches. I am a son of both the eastern house and the western, may they see the strength you have borne in your oppression, and the vengeance I know you will cast as a testament to the tides of change. ” He stood and his eyes locked on Sug’s, she held that stare. “Brianna has shown me the world of witches her father sought to join together. I for one share that dream, that all sects of our kind and humans can preside alongside each other in a natural harmo

Bri“So we have established that a rite was intended to take place, that my mother ordered my familiar killed, and Beckham dealt that blow. Andrew.” Andrew took a tentative step forward. “I ask that you speak only the truth, Andrew here is a victim too, he didn’t have a choice in this either, he was forced to follow his father’s wishes.” Andrew’s gaze looked over the crowd of fearful faces before looking straight at Bri.“I always knew you’d never walk away without justice being served, I am sorry for my part in this and how I treated you over the years. You were once my friend and I hope you can forgive the things I did and overlooked while under the same roof as you.” His eyes raised to the crowd, “I wasn’t much older than Brianna when my father started acting strange and fell under the seductive spell of Lorrain’s promises. Power and dominion. She wants this seat on the council so that she can worm her way into the highest position possible. She’s a compeller and weaves that into h

Bri“On the contrary Lorraine, I am very present,” I said, striding before the dais. “I have come to see to it that you do not steal my father’s legacy and poison New Orleans as you did my Papa.” My voice was cold, hard, resolute. In this moment I let the warmth my heart had grown accustomed to leach into the men at my sides. Let her try to get out of this farce she made for herself.“Daughter, you are well,” Lorraine hid her surprise and I laughed darkly.“You do not get to call me daughter, after what you did to me. Allowed to be done to me. The abuse you exposed me to, in hopes you could wield the power I bear.” Beckham stepped forward gritting his teeth, eyes livid.“Child, enough of this nonsense,” Lorraine tried to reason.“You girl, owe us all a debt,” Beckham growled out. “I owe you nothing, if you ever thought I did that's on you.” I seethed. “Your little den of snakes stole everything from me,” I shot back. “You don’t get to pin a scared 14-year-old girl down and force her
