Heart of the Bayou Beasts Chapter 85
Beau I heard their voices as I rounded the front of the house, having left our secret on the boat so I could smuggle it in without her knowledge. Usually, they were tucked in bed reading at this point or on the couch waiting for me, as I too loved listening to her read. It had begun to rain and the pitter patter of it on the tin roof drowned into the background as I honed my hearing to the pair.Their intensity was evident in their postures, arousal wafted off them in thick waves, scenting the air. I could not pull my eyes from them. My instincts were on full alert as Beta to my Alpha, but also in concern for her boundaries. This was a moment I'd been waiting for so long to happen between them. What would I do if my Alpha crossed a line she wasn't ready for? I watched his fingers flex as he drew her closer to him. Then he did something I never expected… he bared his neck. The razor gleamed in the light, as she took her time with each stroke, as if she had to battle herself for compo

Bri I felt like my heart was bleeding out of every crevice, between every thread holding it together. “I'm sorry my moonbeam, I have nothing more to offer you, who we are is never what we want it to be, we were both created to serve others, those are chains we cannot break, it's best not to fight for what could never be. Just know I will always hold you in my heart.” There was nothing to be said to that, he was right, and Beau? There was nothing that could be fixed. It was all doomed from the start. My stupid shattered naive heart. The rain beat down harder as I sobbed, sinking onto my knees in the middle of the island's heart. After everything I had been through, how had I allowed myself to let them burrow so deeply into me that the idea of living without them in the way I craved was like trying to breathe without air? Beau had seen, and he was angry with Wyatt, and he didn't even know why. I was already cleaving the bond they had in two. I couldn't keep on pretending, playing ho

BriGetting on Beau’s bike and moving further my eyes as the turmoil built, calling for something, someone to quell the racing thoughts, the vision of a stream running through a forest, over moss-laden rocks. “Mother moon, little sister can't help you here, such stubborn fools you all are running from your hearts.” the older woman's voice seemed transcendent in her mind. “But I can't stay,” I projected back to the woman I hadn't seen in months.“Sister, when there is a will there's a way, you have quite the handsome duo, might I say,” the old woman chuckled.“Sister?” I asked.“You will understand when the time comes Brianna Leblanc,” and then the old woman and her stream faded away.When I opened my eyes we passed a bus stop. We passed the second, I yelled.“What are you doing, Beau!” to which he simply revved the engine and shot around another vehicle. I wrapped myself tighter around him, my magic couldn't help me here short of cushioning the road rash I’d get from jumping off the

BeauWhat the actual fuck just happened? We were both staring at Bri dumbstruck as she tucked her hair into her hood and stepped out of Conner's office. Wyatt went to the bunkhouse to grab his stuff. She hefted her bag over her shoulder. I went to grab it for her.“No, you don't get to be nice after that stunt, I wanted to leave before something stupid like this happened, and now I've had to show myself, that puts all of us at risk, you better hope he keeps his mouth shut,” she snapped, folding her arms across her chest. “How does Conner know who you are?” I asked her. She gave me a brief sideways look before deciding to tell me. “The company you work for is a part of the trust my father set up for me, I have to sign the papers before I turn 22 or Lorrain will receive it,” she said, looking around.Wyatt brushed past us.“Get your bike in the back, she's not riding on that deathtrap again,” Wyatt said, not waiting for us as he prowled to his truck. This wasn't going to be a fun ride

BeauI was sitting on the couch not reading the book in front of me. My mind a mess of thoughts of ideas of her…He walked in and snatched it off my lap.“Hey,” it was the first word I had said to him in days. He closed and tossed the book into the armchair we didn't use. “We need to talk or we are going to lose her,” he said “No fucking shit batman,” I said rolling my eyes. He plopped down next to me, no animosity in his gaze.“What if we give her what she's asking for?” he asked, plopping down next to me and leaning forward his elbows on his knees as he peered back at me.“How the fuck is that supposed to work without me getting eaten?” I asked.“Let me show you something,” it wasn't something I could do with just anyone, but The Beast pushed forward replaying the scene into Beau's mind. “I think he's telling us that she needs both of us when she faces them, and with all the flirting, cuddling, and the filthy shit that's come out of your head he hasn't objected once. In fact I thi

BriI was curled up in a chair on the porch thumbing through pages of one of my father's books. I thought it would help me clear my head. Yet, the words and symbols were just a jumbled mess. It was Friday, and the boys didn't have school for some teacher workday. It would all come to a bitter end Sunday morning when I would ask them to take me to the bus stop for real. I didn't know where I would go or what I would do. But I would resign myself into disappearing and experiencing what my purpose in life will take away from me.Bas jogged up and I peered over at him clutching a paper bag with a red bow on the handle and a box. There was something in his eyes I couldn't read. He handed them to me and I took them into my lap.“What's this?” I asked.“It's from Beau and Wyatt and before you open it, I'm taking Claude and Lou camping tonight so there's no excuse,” he blurted before he quickly took off to the two boys on the dock and they began whispering amongst themselves looking back at

BriAfter feeling absolutely ridiculous after showering and primping for men who usually saw me in cut off jean shorts, and holey, oversized band tees, and messy buns. I found myself walking towards the island's center, one booted foot after the other an ever larger growing lump in my throat. The apprehension was dismal. Twinkling lights glittered in the trees as my orb rose up high in the clearing’s center. Beau jumped down off a table he was sitting on and stopped dead in his tracks. He wore a brown and blue plaid shirt that brought the amber in his eyes to life, his dark hair hung combed and slicked down. Wyatt had turned from the grill, his button-down black shirt rolled up past his elbows, his light blue jeans hugging those muscular thighs of his, damp hair slicked back, his irises flaming briefly to gold before receding. I swallowed.“You came!” Beau said, as Wyatt joined us, he took my hand that was self-consciously fiddling with the skirt of my dress.“You look stunning,” he

Bri“It's usually one of us home at a time. So when I am working you will have Beau and when Beau is working you will have me. When we are both here when the moon makes my control more challenging you will have us both so that I am sure you are protected if The beast tries to go too far. Of course, this is all up to your discretion. This way, nobody has to choose and the pack gets to keep its most important member whole,” he explained. I squinted my eyes at him confused.“Most important member?” I asked. “That’s you, Sugar,” Beau rasped, nipping my ear. “You're the heart of the pack Bri, we were all lost without you, we’ve been stupid idiot males. I don't know which of us is stupider me for my fear, or that one for his denial,” Wyatt proclaimed. I looked down, shaking my head.“But…” my voice cracked, “I can't stay,” I reminded them of the elephant in the room. Wyatt lifted my chin with his finger.“As much as we want you always, we know and we will only have you as long as you are

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
