Chapter 52 - Darren
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I need to be efficient with my time management. I know André. So I know patience is a virtue he is strongly lacking. If I don’t get back quickly, he will get bored, sneak out of his room, and cause Goddess to know what chaos.
So I hauled ass from the hospital to town hall for a headcount. ‘All able-bodied Bloodmoon pack members are to report out front of town hall immediately!’ I called through the pack link.
I was relieved to arrive at the town hall and find people standing around waiting. “Line up! I need a headcount!” I commanded, moving to stand in front of the group as they hurried to get into lines.
I frowned as I counted. I should have twenty-three warriors who came with me, seven who were here before the war, add in Isis and Amelia. I should have thirty-two.
“Why am I short seven?” I questioned, mentally counting again. I counted five times, and I still only counted twenty-five. I froze when I realized one of the missing faces.&nbs

Though I didn’t like that he was pouting. Let alone that he was pouting, worried about how my family would take the news. “Why don’t we find out for ourselves.” I suggested giving him his phone. “I got this from your office at town hall.” I smiled, nudging him over a little as I sat on the edge of his bed. “So are we conference calling them? Facetime? How do you want to handle this?” André questioned, grinning at the possibilities. “We’re going to do a group text. I’ll add you to the family chat. There will be less chaos. No one will be talking over someone else.” I nodded as I pulled up my family’s group texts. I smiled, seeing many updates from my family about what was happening while I was gone. And, of course, a daily message from mom reminding me to get rest and eat right. She’s such a mom. I quickly added André to the group and started to chat. Darren: Hey, everyone. I have some news and thought this mi

Oh my god! The Delaney family is just adorable. And I am pretty sure I will get along great with my new sisters, especially Sadira. She’s Collin’s twin, and suddenly it all makes sense. I want to just give Deb a big hug. She seems like such a loving, sweet, bit firm-handed mamma. Kevin seems nice too, a bit lost in the logistics, but nothing rude was said. And Darren’s brothers. Oh, Goddess, no wonder my mate can so easily handle my crazy. Those two are something else. I’m still going to hit them or at least pinch them hard for being mean to Darren, calling him a girl because he’s joining my pack. That was rude. After telling his family about us, I had hoped we could move to the fun part. The part I’ve been waiting for since the minute I caught his scent. I want my mark on this man’s neck and to be fully mated to him. Too bad he gave me some news that would supersede even my need and desire. My sister’s safety. So fin

André will say or do something outrageous and inappropriate nine times out of ten. There have been very few moments since meeting him I’ve seen him be serious about anything. But I was seriously impressed with how he handled Clement. That was like some Beta John level shit back there. And not to say I ever doubted André would be a good Alpha, but that little speech to a guy who only days ago used a derogatory word for his sexuality sealed that. If he can show that level of sincerity and compassion to someone that had been so rude to him and others, prove he’s the right Alpha for Madonie. “That was really impressive back there.” I commented as we made our way from the hospital to get his car at town hall. “First, why the tone of surprise? I can be sincere and sage-like.” André scoffed. And before I could say anything, he went right into inappropriate. “And if you want impressive, just wait till I get you to the N

I think the war ending and telling his family was like a light switch in Darren. I’m not saying he wasn’t adorable, sexy, and sweet before this. But it was in more limited settings. Now he’s cool walking through town holding my hand. And don’t get me started on his playful, flirty side. Who knew this man could flirt so well. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised he’s good at it. He did have his share of exes before he met me. Now his witty and cute flirting will only be used on me. I could and will get used to this side of him. Especially the sex. Fuck the sex. The only thing that could make it better is me getting to tap that ass. And I have plans for that to happen as soon as he’s ready. And can I just say him quoting a line of the Fellowship of the Rings movie was so perfectly nerdy it was adorable. I’ve watched all those movies and read the books, of course. I’m a big fan of Orlando Bloom in or out of that blonde wig. I’

‘You’re whole business before pleasure outlook is annoying.’ Cardinal grumbled as I walked away from the elevators. I rolled my eyes. Cardinal never had an issue with this before, but I suppose it’s different for him now. I’m not dating some woman I have no future with. I’m mated to André, and Cardinal would prefer to spend as much time as possible with our mate. And I want to spend time with André too. One of us has to be responsible, or nothing will ever get done. I mentally prepared myself for what was about to happen as I turned the corner to the lounge. I assumed I’d get some teasing now that it’s public knowledge I’m with André, especially when they notice my mark and that I was obviously dressed by my mate. At least he didn’t pick a brightly colored outfit. If this short-sleeve wine red button-down was plain, it probably could have come from my duffle. But the gold rose print on the sleeves, and the upper left front of the shirt i

I never thought Bisnonna would die. I mean, rationally, I knew she would, but it just felt like she’s some eternal person. I didn’t think I’d be this affected by her dying either. Of everything, though, I shouldn’t be surprised that Darren’s good at handling me. He’s very comfy. And glittery. Why is Darren glittery? What was he doing between me getting in the elevator and showing up in Papa’s office? I’ll ask later. But, for now, I’m going to just enjoy cuddling into him, talking out about Bisnonna. And enjoying being out in the open with him like this. “Why did your Bisnonna hate Alpha Alec? Yes, your mother wasn’t his mate but not uncommon for werewolves to get involved with humans. Especially if they’ve gone a long time without finding their mate.” Darren questioned. “Well, Bisnonna and Melania had this prophecy back before Papa was born.” I sighed. I tried to remember the exact words. Darren just waited, letting m

Sitting here talking about this. Talking about the very immediate future of running Madonie is making it very real. We’re actually going to do this. We are going to be given a pack and told to run it. Fuck I don’t even know how to run a pack. I know how to efficiently run a military op and keep troops in order. But that’s different from running a pack. There’s so much more to it than the military side. ‘Well, isn’t it a good thing you won’t be the Alpha? André will be the Alpha. You just have to stand there and look pretty like a good Luna.’ Cardinal taunted. I growled at him. ‘I dare you to tell Luna Aurelia all she’s supposed to do is stand there looking pretty. She and her wolf would kill us where we stand.’ I scoffed. ‘I’m just teasing. We just have to support André. And that is something we were born for.’ Cardinal shrugged. I rolled my eyes and focused on the conversation. Amelia? As his Gamma? I thought about i

André chuckled, squeezing my hand. “Oh, you poor thing. And I mean, I honestly couldn’t tell you where Oregon or Washington are on a map. I know they are in America.” I rolled my eyes. “Yeah, I might need to educate you on the states.” I sighed as we entered the elevator. “Seems fair. You educate me on your country, and I’ll educate you on mine.” André shrugged. “Now, I’m sure Alpha Logan and Beta John won’t notice the glitter.” He smiled, leading the way to his office. Somehow I doubt I would be so lucky. And well, once I got the video call pulled up on the wall-mounted TV, I prepared for the worst. Alpha Logan and Beta John came on the screen, Alpha Logan sitting at his desk with John standing slightly behind him on the left. “Darren, why the fuck are you covered in glitter?” Alpha Logan instantly greeted. “Collin and Kurt thought it was necessary to explode glitter poppers at me when I arrived this morning to celebrate finding

Éowyn POVI spent today with Grandma. It was fun. She let me try some of the treats she was eating. I can say that I liked the bacio, chocolate and hazelnut for you Americans, gelato. It reminded me of the before times. The before times were before my siblings and I were taken from the womb. Other than tasty treats, Grandma bought me a little moon plushie toy that caught my eye. It’s officially my favorite thing. I don’t know what the moon has to do with what we are celebrating, but I do know that the moon is important to our people. And well, I love the moon. It’s so pretty to look at in the night sky. When we got home, we all got a bath, yuck. I wouldn’t say I like baths. Amaryllis loves baths so much she plays around in the water. I prefer to get it over with and get out of the water. Who wants to sit in their filth? But whatever. After bath time, we were put in special pajamas for the holiday. They were comfier than those fancy clothes we had to wear for the festival. “Azriel,

Lando POVAs expected after the incident, the presence of on-duty warriors around the Christmas festival became more apparent. Dad and Papa were taking no chances that another attempt would happen. To help ensure the safety of the heirs, they were moved from their strollers to the chest baby carriers. I wasn’t surprised that Papa took Caspian. They never play favorites, but someone just tried to kidnap Cas, so it’s natural to be more protective of him today. I was pleasantly surprised that I was entrusted with Aragon. I would have thought the babies would be with adults, specifically those with wolves, to protect them better. It felt good that I was trusted to protect my baby brother. I won’t have my wolf for another two years, but wolf or not, I would fight to my last breath to protect any of my siblings. We stuck together as we moved around the festival. I stopped at one of the game booths when Aragon showed interest in one of the toys on display. What kind of big brother would I

Darren POVI have not been this terrified since Delilah had that placenta issue in April. I had hoped I would never be that afraid again. Yet when that fucking photographer took Caspian from me, I felt it in my gut something was wrong. It didn’t settle my nerves that he also had Amaryllis move from André to Dad. The more times I saw the babies rearranged, the angrier I became. It was like those con artists with the pebble under the cup. Keeping track of where all four babies went was their plan. They thought they could hand Caspian to someone who wasn’t part of the family and get away with it. They thought wrong. I noticed the switch, and Caspian was not the baby that would go quietly. My boy has his Papa’s sass when a situation isn’t to his liking. I had passed Amaryllis to Sadria and shouted for my brothers to get the photographer as I ran toward Caspian’s cries. André had been right on my heels when he handed Aragon to Alison. André had shifted mid-chase and used his speed to g

André POV Everyone knows that I live for celebrations. I go all out for holidays, especially Christmas. This year and probably every Christmas till my babies are grown enough to say, ‘Papa, stop,’ I am going to go all out. This will be my babies’ 1st Christmas, and I want it to be spectacular. I know they are only five months old and won’t remember it, but there will be pictures and videos that we can show them as they grow up. All Madonie wanted to celebrate and make this Christmas special for their new princes and princesses. We’ve been often asked which heirs were mine, but we never tell. Sure, we gave Caspian and Aragon my surname, while our girls Amaryllis and Éowyn have Darren’s. But that’s not common knowledge. And I don’t know if I’ll keep it that way. I’ve considered updating their official birth certificates to Delaney-D’Amore for all four. As far as the pack knows, their surnames are all D’Amore. It might be wrong, but I want to keep it that way. I won’t have them tre

One of my favorite holidays is tomorrow! And for the first time, I have someone to celebrate with. I can’t wait to spend the day with Darren. Oh, the plans I have for that man. I know my mate inside and out. And you can take that any way you want. Innuendo or otherwise, it’s true. Darren hides his emotions well behind that handsome mask. But he can’t hide from me, from our bond. He’s a good mate. Strong, dependable, and caring. The way he has stepped into his new role as Aleph. Yes, we decided on a new title because Luna just didn’t fit. He is so organized, and he manages to keep me on task for as distracting as he can be. I’m not sure I could have gotten Madonie into order this quickly without him. He has been my rock.

“So you got big plans for tomorrow?” Colby’s question had me confused. I furrowed my brow watching as my identical brother’s expression went from neutral to concerned to now he’s laughing. The fucker calls me on video chat while I’m busy with pack business and laughs at me. “What? Why are you laughing?” I sighed. My brother makes no sense sometimes. I honestly think he’s just trying to mess with me. “You… oh Goddess. You forgot what tomorrow is!” Colby’s words were coming out in huffs of laughter. He was so loud Alison waddled into the frame. She didn’t look pleased with the disturbance. “What are you so loud about? I was enjoying an excellent book
The Hybrid Alpha Epilogue - André
I’ve heard the saying that time flies when you’re having fun. And I have to say it’s true. Five years ago, I was an Alpha heir who was single and happily mingling. Today I’m the Alpha of Madonie celebrating my fifth anniversary with my mate and will be throwing a birthday bash for our son’s thirteenth birthday in a few weeks. How can we have a thirteen year old when we’ve only been together for five years? Duh, the same way two males could have a kid. Adoption. Adding Lando to our family was like the cherry on top. He just made it all come together. Love that kid. This is why today’s meeting is kind of annoying me. I’m sitting in one of the meeting rooms at the Incubi town hall. Why am I in Incubi? Beyond coming to spoil my little sisters? Trust me, those girls want for nothing. They’ve got us all wrapped around their tiny toddler pinkies. Lando is in love with his aunties. I digress. I’m here having a tri-pack meeting with Papa and Tiberius. Our mates and Betas are of cours
The Hybrid Alpha Epilogue - Darren
The last few months have been a whirlwind in Madonie. Our villa’s construction is moving along very fast. A lot faster than I thought it would. But I suppose when everything is being handled within the pack, things get done quicker. Before we boarded our flight to Bloodmoon, our contractor told us we should be able to move in not long after we return. That, of course, made André and Lando happy. While neither has any dislike for the pack villa, André has talked about having our own family home enough that Lando is excited to have a home again that will be just for his family. I think part of Lando’s reasoning is that we’ve adopted him, so he’d like to not live in the pack villa with the other orphans still waiting to either be claimed by family or adopted by new families. And I can’t fault him for that. The kids started treating him differently after we officially adopted him. He went from being what they called the favored to now the Pr
