LYRIC I finish stuffing the last of my clothes in my bag and let out an audible sigh. This isn't what I had in mind when I had been detained. I thought I would be executed or sentenced to time in the dungeons for my crime. That they would keep my boy safe while I paid for my malfeasance. I was ready to accept that, to do whatever it took to keep my pup safe. What I didn’t expect was for King Kellen to order me to accompany his elite warriors and Beta Mike to the Golden Circle pack. The King had already assigned a team of elites that had left just over an hour ago. We would be leaving sometime this evening. “Mommy, why are you packing? Are you going away again?” Zane stood in the doorway, his little hand grasping Lizzy’s. He looked so sad, his lips forming a little pout and his eyebrows drawn tightly together. It made my heart ache to have to leave him again. But this was the deal I made to keep him safe, hidden from the monster who created him and stole my sister’s life. I cross

MIKE We arrived at Golden Circle and have been here for two days now. Lyric had already set up a control center, upgraded their technology, and linked their systems to the satellite so we had an overhead view of the convoy of vehicles that still sat unmoved approximately 20 miles from the kingdom's border and Golden Circles. Tobias and I had set up security around the pack borders and were monitoring where the weak points in said security were. I have to say they were pretty welcoming to the bear shifter once they found out he was a second in command to Mathias and Lamia, alongside Hunji. That’s what we were doing at this moment, running the perimeter with a few of the Golden Circle warriors and the elite warriors from New Moon, checking the range on the coms Lyric had programmed and switched to a secure channel that couldn’t be hacked. *Were in position.* I mind link my mate. *Copy that.* She replies immediately. Her voice, a sweet sound in my mind reaches Duke who begins to mel

MIKE Brett and I race out the front door of the pack house, Tobias is still outside where other warriors are running toward the tree line. I begin to shift yelling at Tobias “You hear that?” He shouts back and I watch him begin to shift into his larger-than-life beast. My wolf's paws hit the ground just as Tobias’ beast forms and he lets out an almighty roar. With Brett on one side and Tobias on the other, we rushed toward where the warriors who were under attack were stationed. Duke pushes hard and fast, his ears perked listening for unseen intruders. If they took out the warriors at the border they could easily be moving inwards toward the center of the pack. We reach the edge of the border and we halt in our tracks, the scent hitting our noses first. The snow-covered ground is stained with blood, wolf and human body parts are scattered and strewn around the area, resembling a scene from a horror movie. I shift back to my human form, unfortunately, I wasn’t wearing a uniform, a

LYRIC “What in goddesses name was that?” I rush to my mate's side, unbothered by the cold and my naked body on display. I was more concerned with what I had just witnessed. I could hear the screams through the coms and one by one they went offline. On the monitor I was watching a dense fog rolled in, coming from the direction of the convoy, spreading faster than a disease in humans and engulfing the border of the Golden Circle pack. I wasn’t afraid of a fight. I was a trained warrior and I feared for my mate. ‘Mate needs us. Go help mate.’ Note kept repeating over and over until I finally gave in to her demands and rushed from the control room, shifting as I sprinted from the pack house and headed to where the fight was happening. When I came upon the scene, I was just in time to see Twenty-Nine drag Jonda away and I assume the Shadow Witch, use his magic to render warriors motionless and set his beasts upon them. With horror I watched my Beta fight a beast, tearing the thing's th

MIKEI find some clothes on the chair in the room and shoot off a quick mind link to Rhett letting him know I saw Jonda. It’s the right thing to do.The short conversation wasn’t easy, but he was a day and a half out from us and was packing up his gear by the time I cut off our mental connection.I didn’t have to contact Kellen or Lamia; I was sure Tobias had already done that.I would be having words with my wolf later on but now I needed to go find Lyric. I wasn’t happy at the way she walked out of here. And wasn’t happy that she led me on. I could smell her fear, and I wasn't angry that she feared intimacy. I was angry at myself for trying to push her, for being me, and for attempting to take advantage.But waking up to her, I just couldn’t help myself. That kiss was everything I never thought I would feel, could feel. It was the wake-up call I needed.The revelation that she was my fated mate and I wanted to claim her. No if’s no buts. Any doubt had been erased from my mind with t

MIKE Back in the room Alpha Brett had assigned for me, I find Tobias behind the tiny desk that sits in the corner. Due to the Golden Circle pack not being as big as the palace, obviously. Tobias and I were sharing a room. He looks up from the papers he was reading and gives me a look, raising an eyebrow. “Shut it, Toby.” I bark as his mouth opens like he was about to say something. I don’t need to hear his condescending advice or listen to him joke about my situation. I was mad as shit at myself as it was. She may have initiated that second kiss, but it was me who jumped all over her and was ready to lay her flat out on the table and take what I wanted. With or without consent and no remorse. I was wound up tighter than a top hat. That wasn’t like me. I wasn’t that guy; Duke wasn’t that wolf. I acted like a desperate manwhore, which only part of that would be true. I was a manwhore. Until I met Jonda. But even now, I only wanted Lyric. My wolf was adamant he was going to mate wi

LYRIC I didn’t think I would be able to sleep. Not with the impending doom that hovered over the Golden Circle Pack. Over me and mine. I thought calling and talking to my boy would help. It did but only for a few moments until he passed the phone to Lizzy. Who told me that Queen Tala had come to sit with them as well as Olivia, the former beta’s mate. My mate's mother. They had brought the little prince with them. She also told me security had been ramped up in the wake of what happened here and the Shadow witch's threat. They now had four guards posted outside the suite at all times. It made me and my wolf feel just that little better that they were safe and being taken care of in my absence. I closed my eyes willing for sleep to take me, yet also anticipating that when I did the nightmares would come. I was on edge as it was, and Note was on full guard. I wasn’t sure when I had fallen asleep, so over-exhausted that my body naturally let me fall into darkness. At first, the vis

RHETT My men and I moved fast. Navigating the terrain. We dumped the vehicles some miles away. Mike hadn’t even cut the mind link before I was up stuffing my gear in my pack and less than an hour later, we rolled out. Heading to Golden Circle. The Blood Alchemist, AKA Senko or the Shadow Witch, had my Jonda. He had given them twenty-four hours to trade her life for the kids and his breeder. Who I could assume was Lyric. Mistaking her for her sister. I knew there would be no trade. It wouldn’t even be thought of. I was in the same mind. Despite Jonda being my mate, I honestly felt a deep attraction to her, but I didn’t feel the full pull of the bond like full shifters would. I was without a spirit animal. I was a hybrid. A hunter. Not a shifter. Still, I could never in a billion years think of trading the life of a child into the hands of a monster. I hadn’t slept and I wouldn’t let my men or the trackers and warriors that were with me rest either. Time was of crucial essence. It

Bonus chapter for: Rise of the Hunters – Book 7 RHETT 3 Years Later MacTire held my heart, but I couldn’t help visiting the borough I grew up in when out in the field. Recruiting new Enforcers for the INE. I found myself missing the familiarity of the streets. The people – half human, half shifter. Most without a spirit animal. A town, us half breeds built, grew, and protected. Hunters as Lamia called us but was a hunter? The town wasn’t big, but it was a place where half-breeds gathered – safety in numbers - we had become a close-knit community. Even still, we were constantly heckled and subject to the packs that surrounded us. Always trying to strong-arm our community or take what they thought belonged to them. Hybrids – Where one parent is a shifter the other human or no spirit animal – were born one of three ways. Either they were purely human or gained a counterpart that was weaker in comparison to full-blooded shifters, or there was us. The ones like me. A hybrid. Neither
The Beta & the jewel thief - book 6 Epilogue – Far and Away
ASHE I found Aodh, sitting regally at the top of Mint’s mountains. A throne made of stone. Cold and sharp just like the god of the underworld. His face was dark and impassive. The hatred inside him poured out and I could feel his disgust with this realm hanging in the air. “You dare come before me halfling.” He sneers as I make my presence known. I brush off his rude remark. His power has no hold over me. “How long will you keep the Moon Goddess imprisoned?” I watch Aodh's expressions carefully, but he gives nothing away. “Until I get what I want.” He remarks with a flat tone after a moment of silence. “Don’t be coy with me youngling. You are in my realm now.” I snarl back. A little of my beast showing. “You forget your henchmen are dead. My Knights still live.” “I will kill them!” He pounds his large fist against the stone throne, stating a matter of fact, his red eyes holding no lies. “For what? Because Inanna had been promised to you by her father centuries long before? The
The Beta & the jewel thief - book 6 Authors Message
Thank you for reading The Beta and the Jewel Thief - Book 6 of the Delta's Daughter series. I would like to kindly ask you all to leave me a review on the about book page. This helps me as an author and my stories get noticed on the app. Just a few words and a great rating would be appreciated. Now I know I left this book with another cliffhanger... You still love me I know it. ;)I also know there are a few questions. Not everything could be explained, the story had well superseded any of the other books in regards to word count. In the beginning, it was always thought that the story was more about Lamia and Kellen's wolves than it was about them. Throughout the series, it has been hinted at that Inanna was always promised to a god of the underworld by her father (Aodh). It seems as though Ashe and Ascena (who is originally Nessie, Inanna's daughter) had this planned from the beginning. To have the next immortal child come into this world. In book three Kellen was given his life b
The Beta & the jewel thief - book 6 Chapter 72 – The Beginning of the End
LYRIC The aftermath of war was something to behold. The atmosphere was thick with melancholy. A pensive sadness gripped each and every one of us. Were we happy that the fighting had stopped? Of course. But no one would cheer or rejoice. There would be no celebration. Because we didn’t win. We were lucky. Those of us that survived. We had lost many. On all fronts. Including the Changelings and rogues who ended up joining forces against this other realm god with us. Under the command of the rogue, they called Oliver. Mike begins to take control of New Moon's army. Shouting out commands. Note retreats to the back of my mind, not far, but far enough to rest. The aches in my bones set in, and the sting of wounds where they had already begun to heal, linger. The dark-skinned werecat comes to stand next to me, She points the short sword in her hand across the jungle plane to where King Mathias stands with a woman whose skin is as dark as night, her hair a flowing white, shining like th

TALA Winds whipped through the trees as night fell across New Moon. My wolf, Mora, had been roused all day, feeling uneasy about her mate being so far from us. It had been snowing for hours, mixed with lashing rain. Connor slept soundly whereas Jonda’s child was restless much like myself as I kept checking in on her every hour. Jonda was only down the hall, Olivia and Lizzy stayed with the child. *Tala!* Olivia pushed through a mental connection. Her voice was rushed and distraught making my wolf’s ears perk and fur hackle. Without thinking I scrambled to my feet from where I sat by the window in Connor’s nursery. My gut was twisting with dread and a feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach. Olivia’s voice worried me. I raced out of our suite and down the hall. Greeting Olivia at the door to Jonda’s room. “What’s wrong? Is Jonda, okay? The baby…” “She won’t come down. She’s gone mad! Her marks!” Oliva pants in a panic. “The guards they tried…” Without waiting I brush past her

SHADOW My beasts begin to growl and shake. Their snarls and attention concentrated on the young females that cross the field we currently march across. The darkness curls around my veins and I hush the beasts to settle. “Patience my wild ones,” I say as the females draw near to the front of my army's line. Just over the crest of the hill, where the jungle meets the dense forest, the warriors of Cambiador lay in wait for me. I can feel my son's blood, his magic lingers in the air, it calls to me. And so do these three young females who approach. It would be favorable for the Grimalkin to side with me, but that ship has sailed. And unfortunately, he will die alongside his brethren. “Master,” The young girls reach me and kneel down. From the pocket, of one she pulls out an object and instantaneously the darkness unravels and travels down my arms to my fingers. The inky black shadows strained from my body reaching towards the object in her hand. Her palm opens and the shadows grasp wi

TALA Meanwhile at New Moon Shrill screams sound from down the hall. With Connor in my arms, I raced towards my sister’s anguished shrieking. I barely notice Olivia and Lizzy behind me as I rush to Jonda’s aid. I fling the door open and Connor begins to wail. My eyes land on my sister and I almost drop my son at the sight. She’s doubled over clutching her large stomach, blood trickling from between her legs, soaking the purple gown she wears. “Jonda!” I cry out with alarm and concern. Immediately I link the pack doctor to come quickly. “Oh my!” Olivia exclaims behind me with shock. Followed by a sharp gasp from Lizzy. I hand Connor to Olivia, “I already linked the doctor.” I say with a rushed breath, quickly crossing the room to my sister's aide. Lightening flashes in the evening sky, illuminating the room and Jonda. That’s when I see the marks on her body begin to move and swirl, crawling across her skin. Becoming darker by the moment. “Jonda. Come lay down please.” I tell her

LYRIC Some drive and others run in their wolf form alongside our convoy as we rush towards Cambiador. The trip takes two days from where we were in Lewe to reach their borders. Kellen and Mike keep in constant communication with Rhett and Alpha Travis who are already at the border of the werecat kingdom. The tension in the car is palpable. All of us wondering if this is it. If this is when we face Senko and his army. The warriors are in good spirits, for some, it is not their first battle. For others, it would be a first. Their lack of worry is what has Note and I on edge. After what I witnessed at the Golden Circle Pack - I want to scream at them. I want to pound it into their heads that they should be afraid of this Shadow Witch. Of the creatures and not quiet humans he has under his command. I’m looking out the window from the back seat of the car I share with Kellen and Mike. I tune out their conversation and think of Zane. It was him I was fighting for and our future. Maybe M
The Beta & the jewel thief - book 6 Chapter 67 – Preparing…
MIKE I ran in my wolf's form, letting Duke take charge and lead the way through the kingdom's forest. We knew these woods like the back of our hands or paws. Could probably navigate the terrain with our eyes closed because we had run through them so much. Duke speeds up when catches Lyric‘s scent. We were spending as much time together as we could. Kellen and I were leaving in a couple of days with three teams of elite warriors heading to the border of Lewe to look for the compound. Rogue would join us, and Tyron would stay back to protect the kingdom with my father. Usually, it Would be the Delta going but for unknown reasons he wanted Tyron to stay back and man the palace. Lyric was also staying behind. On one hand, I was happy for Lyric to not be in the thick of a fight, on the other I didn’t like the idea of being away from her. It was making me apprehensive just the thought of leaving her. Duke catches up with Note and nips at her hind legs playfully. We had been out here for
