Chapter 5 - Silvercloud

I’d just managed to get into my lab before I got a text from Shikoba telling me the interns were being sent to the mentors. I was getting a workstation prepped for Persephone to use when my lab door slammed open. I turned in surprise at the aggressive way the door was opened, ready to tell off whomever it was. I didn’t get that chance because hot coffee was thrown at me, and I was called something in Italian, and I bet it wasn’t pleasant. 

I’m a werewolf, so I’ll heal from the minor burn from the hot liquid, but it hurt, and I shouted at the offending individual. I was so damn flustered with my annoyance and the pain that I ignored the person that threw coffee at me. Hell, I didn’t even think about taking my shirt off in front of this belligerent stranger.

I paid closer attention as I tried to dry the coffee off my chest. Jaci had been inching closer, trying to get me to focus on the person in the room with me. And when I smelled that new car scent from near my bunker, it hit me. My mate, my mate just cussed me out and threw coffee at me. I looked up and was stunned. She’s gorgeous with long blonde hair in a french braid, making me look like a damn bum in tweed dress pants, a blue and white floral print blouse, and a white blazer.

While I was busy gawking, Jaci had pushed forward to claim her as our mate. I came to my senses as he started to move toward her. My eyes connected with those green eyes, and it clicked. She’s Persephone Fayte. She’s supposed to be off-limits. 

‘She’s our mate. Nothing is off limits.’ Jaci snorted. 

I ignored him as I managed to sound like an idiot before wandering off like some prepubescent boy embarrassed by a cute girl seeing him half-dressed. She at least apologized for throwing coffee at me and explained why she did it. I made a mental note to run a diagnostic on my onboard computer to see how an email meant for Shikoba ended up in Persephone’s inbox. 

After I found a new shirt and pulled it on, I realized why it was in the lab. It was covered in stains from a project I’d worked on the last time I was in the office. Logan is our Alpha and is more likely to be seen in jeans and flannel, but they are always clean with no rips. I am striking out at every turn to show myself to be a competent man, to show I’m a guy who can look like a scientist and pack Delta. 

“I just wanted to make you feel welcomed. It’s your first day here, and I’m supposed to be your liaison and wanted to make something of a good first impression.” I shrugged. 

“Well, you’ve certainly made an impression. Do you usually remove clothes at work? Or am I just special?” Persephone teased. Her eyes changed colors for a brief moment which told me that it was more from her wolf.

“No, undressing is not something I do at work unless something dangerous is spilled on me,” I explained. I didn’t need Persephone thinking that was a regular thing for me to do. I don’t offer strip shows to people. 

“Though I’m glad the email didn’t actually get to whom it was meant for,” I admitted remembering my talk with Shikoba about not wanting to make Persephone stand out with any favoritism.

“And why are you glad the right person didn’t get the email? It would have saved me from throwing coffee on you.” Persephone arched her brow.

“While that part is true. If you had gotten a special-order coffee and the other interns found out….” I gestured with my hand for her to connect the dots.

“They’d think I’m here because of some favoritism and grill me about who I know in the company.” Persephone sighed. At least she wasn’t angry about it and understood where I was coming from.

“Not that I know you. I know of you from Kurt, Isis, and Darren. And I doubt a random employee would have the kind of pull to get me an internship. Heck, I was rejected for the internship program the last two summers. So I know I earned being here.” She pointed out.

“Yeah…” I played along. “I don’t get a say in who gets an internship invitation.” 

I hand-picked everyone intern and employee in this building. I didn’t ever interview anyone in person, but I watched their interviews, and it was always my final say on who got approved. With the interns, I do a blind selection, meaning I didn’t see the name of who submitted. All I looked at was their project to determine if they had what I was looking for. So she’s right. She earned her spot.

“I’m glad you made the cut this year.” I smiled, letting myself walk closer, drawn in by her scent.

“That makes two of us.” She said, licking her lips as the space between us was mere inches.

I was about to give into her tongue’s taunting, leaning closer to kiss her, when a knock at my lab door made us both jolt backward. The door opened, and a girl I didn’t recognize poked her head in with a sheepish look in her gray eyes and a blush staining her cheeks.

“Oh… sorry. I’m a little lost. I’m Mila Turner, one of the interns.” She apologized in a soft voice.

“No worries, Mila. I’m Jonny, and this is Persephone.” I assured her as I pointed to myself and then to Persephone. “Who are you looking for?”

I was trying to be polite and friendly, which I generally am. Persephone, however, didn’t look thrilled. I guess I can get it. Mila’s interruption did stop us from kissing. But that might not be that bad of a thing. We are at work. I don’t want any issues for her here, and getting caught making out with me, especially on her first day, would create many problems.

“Hi. I remember Persephone from orientation. We’re the youngest interns.” Mila smiled, stepping further into my lab, becoming more comfortable. “I didn’t catch your last name, Jonny.” She flashed a flirty smile my way as she offered her hand.

“Weaver,” I answered by shaking her hand, not flirting back. I’m not much of a flirt any other day, but flirting in front of my mate would be the worst course of action known to werewolf kind. 

“It’s nice to meet you, Jonny Weaver.” Mila smiled, still holding my hand as she stepped closer.

“Maybe you would be so kind as to show me where I can find Doctor Hill? He’s supposed to be my mentor, but I have no clue where I’m going. This building is so big, and I keep gawking everywhere I look.” She giggled, tucking some of her dark hair behind her ear.

I furrowed my brow as I took my hand back, wiping it on my jeans. I know this tactic. Hana has used it plenty of times to get me alone. I may do things to appease Hana, but that’s because she’s my Alpha’s daughter. I owe nothing to Mila. And given Persephone’s entire body language screamed annoyance, I knew I shouldn’t offer to help.

“I totally get it. Everyone is like that for their first week.” I nodded.

“Reed’s lab is two floors down. So if you head out of my lab, you’ll want to hang a right. That will take you to the elevator bay down the hall. Go down to the 10th floor. From there, you’ll hang a left and look for lab 1021.” I instructed.

“That’s a lot to remember. I’m sure Persephone won’t mind if you take like five minutes to show me.” Mila smiled. “Right, Persy?” She finally looked away from me.

I feared Persephone’s teeth would crack because she clenched them so tightly. “My name is Persephone. And Jonny was about to help familiarize me with the lab so we could get started. You can find your own way.” Persephone dismissed Mila.

“I do need to get to work. I have some projects on my backlog that I want to tackle. I gave you the directions and….” I took Mila’s company tablet from her hands and tapped a few things before bringing up a map. “The tablet has a map. It will GPS you directly to Reed’s lab.” I smiled, handing her back the map.

“Oh… wow. I should have expected crazy tech stuff working at Silvercloud.” Mila giggled while holding my forearm. “Thank you so much, Jonny. I hope I see more of you around the building.”

“Right. Good luck with your internship.” I nodded, pulling my arm back as I directed her toward the door. 

“Thanks. Bye, Jonny.” Mila waved as she left the lab.

I sighed in relief when the door closed. 

“What the hell was that?” Persephone questioned. “Do you usually let women openly flirt with you and touch you at their leisure?”

“I don’t control what other people do or don’t do.” I rolled my eyes. “So any flirting was all on her, and I didn’t reciprocate. And I did extract myself from her grip whenever she touched me.”   

“Are you going to be one of those super jealous mates? You realize I’m a Delta in a pack, so I’ll have to interact with females, and some of them will be unmated.” I furrowed my brow, unsure if I liked the jealous thing.

‘Try not letting women get all in your personal space as that woman did. Stop pissing off our mate.’ Jaci rolled his eyes.

“I am not jealous.” Persephone insisted.

“I’m just asking so I’m prepared when other women in the office throw themselves at you. And yes, when I have to deal with Bloodmoon bitches acting like they are in heat around you. Goddess knows you might already have a girlfriend or something back in the pack. That doesn’t make me jealous.” She scoffed as she folded her arms and turned her head to avoid looking at me.

I shouldn’t laugh, but I couldn’t help it. I nearly doubled over laughing. 

“You are an asshole. Isis and Kurt never mentioned that personality flaw.” Persephone glared at me. 

“I’m laughing because you are very obviously jealous and needlessly. For starters, I don’t have a girlfriend, never have. Beyond that, I’d rather have waited for my mate….” I stepped closer and, holding her chin, tilted her face to mine. 

I suppressed a shudder as the spark of the mate bond shot through me like a few thousand volts of electricity. Just the simple contact had my heart racing. I’ve been told plenty about the mate bond. I’ve heard all the lovey-dovey stuff from Charles. I’ve listened to the rational things from John. And I’ve heard all the raunchy stuff from Logan. So I thought I was well prepared for it. In a rare moment, I was wrong. 

“Waited for you. I was always more interested in inventing than getting laid.” I hoped that cleared things up. And if that didn’t, I can only hope what I did next did. I closed the short distance between our lips and claimed her lips for a kiss.

    What the hell is wrong with me? I am not the jealous type. If I were ever going to be jealous, I would’ve been jealous of Crista growing up. She was the firstborn and, therefore, the Beta heir. She was the one with a white wolf making her special before we knew just how special. But I never was, so there is no reason I should suddenly be the jealous type just because I met my mate. ‘That fucking bitch was flirting with him and touching him on purpose. She’s a werewolf too. She knows he’s not her mate but still flirted with him.’ Sara growled. ‘She must have sensed the chemistry and tension between you and Jonny. She’s a fucking bitch, and we should claw her damn eyes out.’ Sara snorted. ‘We can’t do that, and you know it. We are at work.’ I reminded my wolf.

    I used to tease Logan that he and Aurelia couldn’t be left alone in his office, or they’d get no work done because of all their fucking. He would flip me off and tell me to wait. I fully understand why none of my friends share an office space with their mates, and I don’t think I can do this. My lab at the office is spacious when it’s just me, but with Persephone in here, I feel like I’m in a closet. She’s both too far and too close. It wouldn’t be a big deal if this were my bunker lab. I could touch Persephone as much as she’d let me without worrying about someone watching and what it could do to her future in this industry. But we are in the Silvercloud HQ, and I don’t want to do anything that risks the reason she’s here. She didn’t come here to find her mate. She came here for this opportunity with my company. So despite what Jaci and I want, I’ve tried to ignore her scent and the pull of the bond. I’m both grateful and annoyed that Shikoba sent that text that interrupted our kis

    It was rather endearing that Jonathan kept forgetting Mila’s name. I don’t even care if he does so intentionally or not. She can eat her heart out. I may mean that literally because he’s mine. She’s a werewolf, so she better start respecting that. If she doesn’t, we are going to have serious problems. ‘You know what would put her in her place.’ Sara commented as we entered a little bistro a couple of blocks from the office. ‘Kicking her ass?’ I offered. ‘Well, that could help. But the best way to get any she-wolf to leave our mate alone is to mark him.’ Sara licked her lips. I couldn’t help it. I looked at Jonathan’s neck and tried to picture a mark there. I’m Beta by blood, but he is a Delta. So, whose mark would it be? Would his neck bear the Fayte dove, or would it be his family’s mark? That made me ponder his family’s mark, and more than that, I wanted to know more about him. I only know a little from what others have told me. “What’s your family like?” I found myself b

    Shit, shit, shit! I quickly got up from the booth as my future ran out the door dragging her sister behind her. Scott at least had the self-awareness to look remorseful. “I…” He opened his mouth but quickly shut it when I glared at him. “You pick up the tab. I need to chase down my mate and hope to Goddess that she forgives me.” I growled, jabbing my finger into Scott’s chest. “And you get to answer to Logan for your slip.” My identity is supposed to be a fucking secret. It has been that way since I launched the company. The only way someone outside the pack finds out who I am is because they are mated to someone in the pack. The only tiny sliver of gratification I got was how pale Scott turned when I said he’d have to answer to Logan. ‘She’s our mate, and your dumbass couldn’t find time in the conversation, like when she asked about your family to mention you’re Silvercloud?’ Jaci scolded me. ‘If you ruined things with our mate, I’m not forgiving you, and we are beating Scott so ba

    I will blame the mate bond, and it was screwing my emotions. It’s the only explanation I have for my strong reactions to things that are not me. There was a logical reason he went by Weaver at the office. And it makes a lot of sense. People would treat him differently if they knew he was Silvercloud. For example, Reed would undoubtedly have a 180 change of attitude. He’s damn lucky Jonathan is as easygoing as Kurt and Isis said. I can’t imagine any other boss, undercover or not, would accept that kind of treatment. And while it might make jerks like him rethink their treatment of Jonathan, it would also make bitches like Mila fawn over him more than they already do. That girl was getting on my last nerve. At least THREE times after lunch, she “accidentally” came to our lab and needed directions. Every time I had to clench my jaw not to speak or growl or, more likely, snarl at the bitch. It’s good that I heal because I’ve dug my nails into my palms in sheer frustration. Each time Jona

    When we stepped out of the elevator, I’d been excited to leave and spend time with Persephone far from the office. But, of course, that was impeded by Shikoba. The other staff that saw her snag me by the collar probably assumed I was in trouble for something. While no one in the building but Shikoba and now Persephone knows who I am, they all know that Shikoba is the eyes and ears of the mysterious Silvercloud. “Want to tell me what’s going on with the intern?” Shikoba signed as she narrowed her eyes at me. “Not really.” I shrugged and signed back to keep our conversation private. Usually, if she is dealing with someone, it’s done through a text-to-speech device I designed for her. I’m working on a side project at the moment, which, if Shikoba is down, would involve an implant in her brain that would instead take her thoughts, and the computer would speak them, eliminating her from even having to type. It will be groundbreaking once I get it perfected. “Right, because you randomly

    Riding in Jonathan’s Aston Martin DB5 erased all my troubles about Mila from my mind. Hard to think about annoying bitches that want my mate when I’m in a car like this. And while it was fun to tease him about him coming to Incubi, I never even considered that an option. If I were in line to be Beta of Nebrodi, I’d have fought for my rank. But I don’t have a rank and wouldn’t dream of taking him away from his role as Delta.Every trouble I had melted away on the drive back to Bloodmoon. Nothing else mattered between being in this car and talking about our future. I was excited to get to the packhouse because we’d let others know we were mates. I’ll have to video call my family back in Sicily. I would say I don’t know who will be more excited at this news, but I already knew it would be André.

    I felt terrible for Hana. Honestly, I do, but at the same time, she knows I’m not her mate, and I can’t and won’t fault Persephone for what she did. Show me a werewolf who would shrug off someone throwing themselves at their mate, especially their unmarked mate, and I’ll show you that you’re really on a movie set, and it’s just make-believe. No werewolf would be chill about that. Mila was bad enough trying to touch and flirt with me. But she didn’t push the limit of Persephone’s patience by trying to kiss me. Even if I knew Hana would kiss my cheek, Persephone didn’t. I’m glad Logan and Aurelia didn’t get angry at Persephone. Not that I’d have expected Aurelia to, she was the first person to put Hana in her place. Plus, she’s had to put horny bitches in their place when it comes to Logan. She understands all too well that you can’t let others try to force themselves between you and your mate. And while it’s a hard lesson, it’s one Hana needs to learn. So I might have left Persephone

    I can’t believe it’s been over three years since I met Mila. Who knew being assigned to spy on someone could change one’s life so completely? Okay, yes, Sadria Kearney and Alison Blaire know just how much such an assignment can alter the course of your life. It was on a similar assignment that they met Azriel and Colby Delaney. And their brother Darren can certainly attest to how a war and crazy power-hungry assholes can bring someone to where they always belonged. I spent a lifetime feeling like I would never find my place in this world. It took being sent to spy on a spy to find it, but my place was always meant to be at Mila’s side, and years of performing odd jobs around a pack prepared me to be an Aleph. I should have had more faith in the Goddess when I always felt like I was struggling to tread water in the various roles. Each gave me insight and the knowledge to be a good Aleph in Demonclaw. The first year was a struggle. Harley and Trace didn’t have mates, so I worked with t

    “Ah need ta see if ya taste as good as ya smell.” His husky voice was muffled against my abdomen as he lowered the thong. I’m lucky I’m still standing, and he wants to eat me out? While I’m in heels? I can’t see this going well, but I’m also too worked up to argue. My legs moved on their own, stepping out of the white thong. When my knees felt like they would buckle, I was suddenly scooped off the ground. I blinked and realized I was in Cillian’s arms, held against his bare chest. “Dinna want ya to fall.” He smiled as he carried me to the bed and set me on the edge. “Yes, that would have put a damper on the evening.” I agreed, licking my lips as I was at eye level with his abs, my eyes focused on the growing bulge in his dress pants. “Ya can finish stripping me later. Ah told ya Ah need ta taste ya.” Cillian waved a finger at me when I reached for his belt. “Have it your way, but if I finish stripping you, we could both get a taste,” I suggested with a smirk because he’s no

    The law about heirs needing to complete their oath before mating needs to be revised and updated. I can change that later, but till I took that oath, I had to play my part and not rock the boat. And honestly, rocking a boat was not what was on my mind as Cillian and I ducked away from the festivities. Laws, restructuring, rebuilding, and generally all things Alpha-related are the last thing on my mind. We hadn’t mated in the week since Lucian died for many reasons. The law was low on that list. I needed to run the pack. There was a lot of damage caused, and many were injured, and some even killed. We had to plan funerals, including one for Lucian, and I had to speak as the next Alpha. I had to budget and prioritize the rebuilding efforts. Thankfully out of guilt, Incubi and Bloodmoon offered restitution for the damage caused. And then there is my mother and the cure, but Reed and Jonny both seemed uninterested in me helping, always telling me I had other things I should handle. No

    I did NOT think this through. No matter the situation or cost, I wanted Mila when I scented her. But now, as I’m sitting on a bed in the Demonclaw Packhouse dressed in a black suit and gold tie, the cost is readily apparent. To be with Mila, I need to do something I never thought I would do. I need to leave my pack. Sheila was the first FireWolf to join another pack since the attack. Mary went to Silverclaw, but she left because her Bloodmoon mate was offered the role of Beta. Maureen went to Silverclaw when she found her mate Devon Green there. And now I’m going to leave to be Aleph of Demonclaw. Yes, I’m borrowing the title Darren took. There is no way I’m letting anyone call me ‘Luna Cillian.’ I was ready to knock out the other Demonclaw heirs, Harley, Trace, and Kanti, when they laughed and called me Luna. I didn’t hit them. I should have. But I did growl and tell them that the proper term for the male mate of an Alpha is Aleph. I told them if they have a problem with that title

    I was so thankful we got to the packhouse in time to save my mom. All that goodwill faded when I felt the pain of my father’s demise. The whole pack felt the loss, and I could hear their howls in my head as they mourned their Alpha, unaware he was a monster. I should be crying, sobbing, or something. Right? Yet even though I choked out the news to Cillian, I couldn’t muster a tear. Of course, it hurts. He was my father and Alpha. But I can’t bring myself to express that pain. He was willing to kill my mother, his mate, and for what? Power. He never cared about the cure. He only wanted Weaver… er, Silvercloud’s talent. I only agreed to any of this nonsense because he said it was for her. Cillian may have told me it was alright to cry, but I didn’t want to. Lucian Đurić does NOT deserve my tears. He doesn’t deserve anyone’s tears. I might feel different later, but I can only muster indifference at his death right now. I have more important matters to attend to. With his death, I am Al

    I was left dumbfounded with her taste still on my lips. It wasn’t enough. Not even by a long shot. I’d come here looking to be near her. I wasn’t planning to interact with her. Only to watch from afar. But then she pulled me into the stairwell, and having her touch me, even in a situation that shouldn’t be erotic, was. And that kiss… fuck me. Literally, I wanted her to fuck me. I don’t know which is worse: she ran off when she heard other people on the stairs or tried to use an Alpha command to make me leave. If you ask my blue balls, it’s the former. Conchobar isn’t happy about the latter. He feels slighted that our mate would try to use her rank to command us to do anything. As her mate, her command wouldn’t have worked anyways, so it’s more that she’d try to use it. Personally, both hurt. It hurt that Mila would flee so quickly, even if her parting words were trying to protect me. It hurt that she’d give up so easily. Am I not worth fighting to be with? I’d willingly fight at her

    I am seriously over this game. I may be a good actress, but I LOATHE it. I loathe making a total fool of myself, especially over someone like Jonny Weaver. My stomach churns every time I have to force myself to smile and flirt with him. All I want to do is puke on or punch him since his father isn’t around to take the brunt of my repressed anger. I shouldn’t transfer my anger from the father to the son. Weaver had nothing to do with what his father did. It would be like someone putting my father’s sins on me. It isn’t fair. I at least don’t look like my father. Thank the Goddess for that. However, I have reason enough to be at least annoyed with Weaver. And Persephone, for that matter. I’d thought I’d been clear enough, given enough hints without outright telling them to mark so I could stop this charade. Yet instead of a mark, they show up to work with hickeys. What the fuck is wrong with them?! Anyone else would have taken my overly forward advances as a reason to complete the bond

    Coming out to the camp and putting even more distance between me and Mila was supposed to be a good idea. I’d driven here and even unpacked in my counselor’s cabin. Yet I can’t shake this feeling that I’m not where I belong or should be. ‘Because our place is where our mate is.’ Conchobar unhelpfully commented. I rolled my eyes and hurried to catch up with the kids from my assigned cabin at their canoe activity. I’d already missed a day of activities. Thankfully there are always two counselors assigned to a cabin. When I arrived today, Fion at least wasn’t surprised. I assumed our parents told him I would be coming. He pointed me to my cabin and told me where my campers would be. I hurried down the hill to the lake and spotted the campers in the red shirts with the other counselor. They were easy to spot amongst the different groups by the lake for activities. My fellow counselor, Elyse Moore, a brunette who was all legs in her khaki shorts despite being short, was helping campers

    I managed to mostly shake the feeling that someone was in that apartment after we left. I at least didn’t feel like I was being watched. Well, I still have the paranoid feeling that someone is watching me. My father doesn’t trust me to do this, so someone reports my movements to him. I’ve been going through all the possibilities of who could easily track my movements in the office, and my only conclusion is someone in security. When I entered the building with my fellow interns, I narrowed my gaze at the security guards, pondering which could be working for my father. None of them were werewolves… wait, I’m wrong. There is a werewolf among the guards. I don’t remember seeing him yesterday. Maybe he arrived later than me or while I was doing that boring intern orientation. I glared at the objectively handsome male as I passed him. He wasn’t from Demonclaw. His scent was that of Bloodmoon. Could my father have paid off someone from within Bloodmoon? Either way, he’s now the most lik
