All Chapters of The Beta & the jewel thief - book 6: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

LYRICI look around, peering down one end of the street and up the other. The last thing I need is for anyone to see me. Us.I grip the tiny hand in mine a little tighter. I raise my other hand and knock on the worn and cracked door, quickly glancing around at our surroundings again. For the millionth time. All the while listening for movement from the other side of the door.I knock again when I hear nothing. Tap, tap, tap. My nerves ramp up as I wait, listening, looking, “Hurry up” I whisper, sighing on the exhale.The bite of cold nipped at us as we waited for the door to open. The snow in this part of the borough was thick and more was falling. The damp air seeped into our skin through the layers of clothing, chilling us right down to the bone.I would give anything to curl up in front of a fire with a warm drink, cozy up with my favorite person in the realm. Anything was better than having to drag us from the comfort and safety of our home out into the bitter cold night.But I di

JONDA I’m an Alpha’s daughter for goddess' sake. Something I never thought I would be doing was pouring over tablecloths, decorations, and seating for a sister I never knew I had up until six months ago. Not even for me. Then again, it’s not every day your sister is being crowned the Queen of wolves. I just hoped all this hard work would pay off and everything would go perfectly for Tala and Kellen. I rub my palms over my eyes and exhale an exhausted breath “I think I need a break,” I tell Oliva, Mike's mother. “All these colors are giving me a headache.” Oliva laughs at my outspoken stress. “I guess after all these years I’m just used to it.” She shrugs, her blues glazing with a faraway look. No doubt recalling a memory from her days as the female Beta to the late Queen Sarah. From what I understood they were all close and the death of Kellen’s parents hit everyone hard. They had touched the lives of their people in so many ways that it had a lasting effect on the Kingdom. Too

MIKE The sound of chirping birds breaks into the most delicious dream I was having. I almost groan out with annoyance and screw my eyes shut trying to go back to sleep and willing my dream to commence so I can finish it. My groan turns into one of pleasure as I realize I wasn’t dreaming. The tickling of a tongue running up my hard shaft has me clenching my fists with gratification. The warm breath of a mouth fans across the head of my cock, the mouth closing around the tip and sucking me in. “Fuck,” I grind out, the sensation almost too much. I open my eyes and lift the sheet to see a mass of chestnut hair begin to bob up and down as Jonda sucks my cock like a pro. “Fuck, my love. This is by far my favorite way to wake up.” I gasp as she takes me deeper and sucks harder and faster. My one hand slides beneath the covers to grasp at her hair. “That’s it, love, let me fuck that mouth.” Jonda moans and the vibration sends a jolt of tingles to the base of my spine and my balls tighten

LYRIC The tightness in my gut increased as we waited in the car outside another seedy motel, waiting for Shadows man to show up. I had never been so nervous about pulling a job in my life. Then again, there was a lot more riding on this than I liked. I can’t remember the last time I prayed to the moon goddess, but I prayed to her last night, and I silently prayed to her now. I prayed for the job to go smoothly. I prayed for my boy – that I would see him again. And I prayed that I could keep him safe. Bram checked his watch for the umpteenth time, letting out a loud sigh of annoyance. If Bram was anything, I had learned in the past few years he was punctual and hated to be kept waiting. A sharp rap on the car window startles me. I look over as Bram rolls down the driver's side window to a man dressed in black. His hair peeks out from under his hood, a shade darker than white, and his eyes are an eerie mustard yellow. An uncommon eye color if I had ever seen one. His pale, almost gre

LYRIC I gave my watch one last glance before I took it off. 7 pm. It was time. Handing my watch to Bram I told him “I want that back when I come out.” Ignoring Twenty-Nine’s grumble in the back of the car. “There’s a gate on the east side of the palace. That’s where we will meet you.” Bram's face turned to a deadly look of seriousness, and his eyes bore into mine making it impossible to look away. “You have two hours Swift, don’t make me wait too long. Got it?” His fingers squeezed around mine tightly in a warning. Message received loud and clear. He didn’t trust the plan and wanted me in and out as fast as possible. I swallowed the lump of nerves that had settled in my throat and nodded “Got it.” Trying to portray with my eyes that I understood and shared his suspicions that everything was not going to go smoothly. The three of us piled out of the car. I wandered around to the driver’s seat because turning up on foot would raise suspicions with the guards. Bram and Twenty-Nine w
