All Chapters of The Reluctant Alpha: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

I’ll have to extend my thanks to Auntie Sarael, again, for her insistence on me going to the pack OB and getting birth control. I’d been hesitant about it, so sure that we wouldn’t be doing THAT for a while. But I suppose that was my human mind and upbringing coming out. I thought we’d wait longer before getting intimate. That, of course, has gone out the window. All chance of waiting any longer went poof like me teleporting when Bastet marked Kurt. There was no going back from that. I wasn’t sure how I’d feel after the fact. After we completed the bond, I was no longer a virgin. I know most girls would talk to their mothers about boys and sex. It’s not like I had someone to talk to about these things growing up. Most girls didn’t have my mother or the type of relationship with her. We didn’t have chats.  Everything I know about sex I learned from books and movies. And then when I got here and was given the ‘talk’ from Auntie Sarael and Aurelia. I’d say

“Oh, my poor big sister. To be kept from your mate by an evil hunter hybrid. Is there anything I can do? A way that I can save my big brother? To bring him back home to lead our people and take his rightful mate?” Talia offered herself up.  I grinned and stroked her hair, gently returning the hug. “I think there is. Now that you have access to your family link, we can use it. We can know what is happening in his life and find ways to use it to try and undo the brainwashing. But it will take time. And you’ll need to train really hard. Can you do that?” I asked, pulling back to look her in the eyes.  I saw the determination of Seigfried in her eyes. “Yes. I will save my big brother from that hunter and those baby-eating wolves.” Talia nodded. “Then we will start in the morning.” I smiled as Wade walked in, looking like he’d been in one hell of a fight

I can’t blame Kurt for panicking and just freaking out about this. The very thought that Siegfried had other children sends chills through me. Especially if those children are also products of rape. I know very well how damaging that can be to someone. And worse, this child is in Noya’s hands.I wouldn’t trust Noya with a dead goldfish, least of all a living person. I managed to survive sixteen years with Sakina, so I can easily imagine the horrors this child is dealing with. Even if she’s friendly to this child now, she will only use them because of their blood ties to Siegfried.Before we can plan anything, we need to ensure that the child, or specifically Noya using the child, cannot access our minds. And can I just take a moment to say how utterly adorable it is that my Uncle John is Kurt’s father figure? And I can see it. I see how fatherly John is with the others. He’s always looking out for everyone. John has a ve

I feel like I’m Doctor Jekyll and Miss Hyde. Except I’m not drinking a potion for this sudden shift in my mood. And it’s so embarrassing. I was a virgin last night. Now at the drop of a hat, I’m suddenly this sex-starved nymphomaniac.  ‘It’s called being in heat. And it’s not that bad. Plus, Kurt obviously is all for this behavior.’ Bastet scoffed. Maybe she’s right. I shouldn’t worry so much about it. It’s just so new for me and a big difference from my personality. Last night, Bastet took more control in what led to us having sex. But she had nothing to do with me randomly climbing into his lap, wanting him. That was all me, and it scares me a little. I don’t like being out of control. ‘But you sure do like that twirling thing he does with his tongue. Both when he does it to your tongue and your pussy.’ Bastet taunted as I moaned into Kurt’s lips, his tongue doing the toe-curling thing she mentioned.  My hands slipped down between us, tugg

I’m not sure I’ll ever fully adjust to having a family. To have people that love me unconditionally. I thought I had that, except for my mother, growing up. I thought my dad loved me, but obviously, that’s not true. It if was, why wouldn’t he have contacted me. I know he knows what I am. There’s no way the other hunters didn’t tell him. Even if they don’t know exactly what I am, they saw me do things that a human can and that I was on the side of the pack. So obviously, his love was conditional. Sakina never loved me, and I’m learning to accept that there was never anything I could have done to earn her love. Because love isn’t earned. Love is a gift. You don’t have to do anything special. You only need to be you. At least I still have Khalid. ‘Do you? I mean, I get it you want to see the best in your brother but is he really on our side?’ Bastet questioned.I frowne
