The Beta & the jewel thief - book 6 Chapter 50 – A Date
LYRIC The next morning, I woke up earlier than usual. I think I was still on a high from what transpired between Beta Mike and I last night. I still couldn’t believe how receptive I was to him and his touch. This time, I wasn’t scared or apprehensive about what he would expect. I never knew being touched in that way could be so… So thrilling. And tiring. I had no idea having an orgasm as hard as I came could zap the energy right out of you. It was so much different than when I explored myself. So much so, that I wouldn’t be opposed to it happening again. This thought and the actions of the beta from last night had me wearing a rare smile. A goofy one at that. I watched myself, and examined myself, as I brushed my long hair in the mirror after getting out of the shower. The goofy smile was still on my face. I peered closer trying to remember the last time I had worn a smile as genuine as the one I wore now. Except for when it came to Zane, I really couldn’t remember. That was a sa

MIKE I managed to push the morning meeting to the back of my mind. Determined to enjoy my day with Lyric and Zane. I took them to New Moons city, only a short drive from the palace to a shopping center that housed many different stores and plenty of clothing places for pups. Several times Lyric tried to pay for things and several times I had to tell her to put her money away. I was the Royal Beta and made plenty of money plus this was my mate and her child. There was no way I would let them pay for anything. We left the shopping center loaded down with bags full of clothes and toys for Zane because honestly, I just couldn’t say no to the kid. His excitement at being able to pick out some of his own clothes, and seeing all the toys, was just too much. I would have brought him everything his little eyes landed on if I had my way, but Lyric put her foot down. “Is that an ice cream place?” Zane asks me, pointing across the road. “It is,” I tell him, and he grabs my hand, dropping Lyr

LYRIC A shrill chill traveled down my spine when the door swung open. Revealing the empty and cold entry to the single-story brick home I shared with Zane for the past three years. We left New Moon early this morning and made it to the boroughs several hours later. It was now dark and quite late. We had eight warriors that followed behind the car Mike, and I were in. King Kellen didn’t think it was wise for us to travel alone. There were no hotels out this way, so I suggested they all camp out in my house. At least for the night. Tomorrow we were going to head towards the small town that Miko ran and then onto the location where this rogue Oliver had given them the location to the transcript of the epitaph, I had secured a few years ago and some diaries Mike said were important. The ride here was very informative. Mike caught me up on what’s been going on as well as a little history about Queen Lamia, King Kellen, and himself. He disclosed the intel of the stones, or at least what

LYRIC We pulled up outside of Miko’s bar. The first thing I noticed is the lack of noise and lights. Yet several vehicles and bikes are parked outside. Some I recognize as being regulars and others that belong to Miko’s men. It was quiet. Too quiet. Note stirs and I feel her uneasiness mingle with mine. Something wasn’t right. I grasp the handle of the car and am about to swing the door open when Mike's large hand latches onto my wrist pulling back. “Wait.” He commands me and I sit back frowning. “Is it always this… desolate?” “No.” I shake my head in reply. “Somethings not right. It’s too quiet.” “Duke feels uneasy. I know you know this place but let’s air on the side of caution. Keep your mind link open.” He’s not looking at me but out the window on my side of the car. His eyes scanned the area, jaw tight. His wolf was alert and peeking through, just like Note – on alert. Attentive to our surroundings. Mike gets out of the car and walks around opening my door. Once I step out h

MIKE I woke up to Lyrics' small body sprawled across me. I hadn’t even opened my eyes and could feel the enigma of sparks dancing between our skin. I cracked an eye open, her hair fanned across my shoulder. Legs and arms draped over me. My arms were wound around her middle holding her in place. I had never felt such comfort as I did laying here, with her in my arms. She shifts in her sleep slightly, her leg nudging my hard length. The friction makes my cock jolt and I groan at the thought of what it might feel like sinking into the warmth of her tight pussy. I didn’t want to move; I didn’t want to let go of her, but I couldn’t lay here with her leg brushing against my cock or I was going to crumble, and Duke was going to take over and take what was his. “Lyric,” I whisper. My voice was low and gravelly, still full of sleep. My hand wanders over her back, stroking her. “Lyric,” I whisper again. She stirs but only to tighten the grip her legs and arms already have on me. She buries

MIKE There was no way in hell I was letting Lyric go in there alone. No way. ‘We don’t leave mate.’ Duke says with finality. Agreeing with me. I felt a little guilty about the way I handled Lyric. She just didn’t understand that even looking at her was driving me insane and goading Duke to claim her. I didn’t want that. I didn’t want my wolf to mark her without his consent and definitely didn’t want him mating her in front of the warriors. My actions were shameful, but her actions were seen as a challenge, I was a hot-blooded male with a dominating wolf who was just as highly ranked as an Alpha. I just snapped wanting nothing more than to make her submit. It was my primal nature to control and command. When she didn’t show me respect my tether of control snapped. Pete climbs out of my car and seconds later Lyric is hopping in. Her scent immediately fills the car and wraps around me. I have to close my eyes to rein in my urges. I had no idea how we were going to get through the n

LYRIC “Everyone out now!” Garrison yelled, unraveling the whip from his side and cracking it through the crowd. The tip of the tail, sparked with blue electricity as it crackled and whipped the air. The club’s music had halted, and the crowd parted to reveal Mike. One of the men holding me pushed me forward, grasping my hair tightly, using the length to yank me into place, and digging the taser deep into my side, wielding it like a knife. Bodies began to scramble wanting no part of what was about to go down. Mike glared from across the room at the man that held me. Rage and a promise of death shone in his eyes and though Mike's look was full of danger and an emotion that would have most men cowering, I smiled. His look of pure fury warmed my heart, and I knew he would destroy them all. For me. It took only minutes for the club to empty out. Leaving Mike and I surrounded by Garrison and his two dozen or so posse of goons. “Tell me, Swift, is this the client who hired you to steal

LYRIC Not being able to sleep anymore, and now the birds chirping outside had made it impossible. I swing my legs out of bed looking at the other side where Mike had slept the night before. I frowned wondering why he hadn’t wanted to be near me. I thought last night’s events may have changed that. I shake the thoughts away refusing to dwell on the subject. The male confused me. I made my way to the bathroom, switched on the shower, and waited for it to heat up before stepping under the moan-inducing warmth of the spray. I stood for several minutes just letting the water roll down my body. I washed up, washing my long hair. I really should cut it because it took forever to rinse the soap out. Satisfied all the soap was out of my hair I switched the shower off and wrapped a towel around my body. Only lightly towel drying my dark locks before emerging from the bathroom. Once back in my room, I began to pull clothes out to dress. Picking a pair of black pants matching red underwear

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
The Beta & the jewel thief - book 6 Chapter 71 – Broken Bonds
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
The Beta & the jewel thief - book 6 Chapter 68 – The Gangs all Here
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
