Chapter 18 - Sarael
Damn it. Damn it all to hell. Why did my sister have to find me? Better question: how long has my family known where I am? Have they known all along and just left me be? It’s possible. But Isis running away has brought Sakina to my door. And worse yet, she saw John. He’s not safe. His pack isn’t safe either.
I groaned as I grabbed my phone and realized I didn’t have his contact info. I smacked my hand to my forehead. “I really should get his number. I need to tell him. I do have Aurelia and Logan’s numbers. But I’m not sure I want to call one of them to ask to talk to John. I don’t know if Aurelia knows about what’s going on between John and me.
Logan does, but he seems a tad on the aggressive side. And I don’t think I’m his favorite person, so to hear that his pack may be in danger because

“What happened last night that resulted in the changes in patrols?” Charles asked as he entered our shared office. I’d been up since before dawn. I couldn’t sleep. Irving was restless worrying about Sarael, and I’ll admit so was I. I”d gone for a run and hit the training grounds to try and work out these feelings. When that didn’t work, I came to my office to tend to business. I glanced up from my laptop, where I was trying to focus on the quarterly reports from Kinsley Enterprise. ”Yeah, and why am I getting hourly check-ins on the app I built for pack members living outside one of our cities?” Jonathan asked, walking in with a cup of coffee in one hand and his tablet in the other. “A hunter has been spotted in our territory.” I stated. Both froze, eyes wide. If not for werewolf reflexes, I’m pretty sure Jonathan’s coffee and tablet would have cr

I was checking the entire drive to the Christian ranch to be sure we weren’t being followed. I was relieved to not see any cars following us. And just to be safe, I had left my cell phone at the office. I don’t trust what lengths my sister would go to track me. I can’t let her be anywhere near John or people in his pack. Of course, when I arrived, the man had my heart fluttering with this whole opening doors and offering his hand. I’m not used to the chivalrous sort. And then he called me darling. Seriously, what century is this guy from? And great, now he’s going to call me love. I don’t know if I can stand that. It’s not that I don’t like the idea of pet names. It just means that we are moving closer to having a relationship. And I don’t want to get more attached to John. As soon as he knows the truth, he’s going to want to get as far away from me as

None of this was making any sense to me. The only thing that made any sense was that Sakina was her sister. It explains the resemblance. Not quite as strong as, say, mine and Logan’s resemblance, but it was clear enough that they were close blood relatives. Before I could wrap my head around the hunter being her sister, she started talking about a niece. I couldn’t understand why her niece would come here. And why she made a point of saying her niece ran away on the full moon after her sixteenth birthday. It was starting to sound like her niece was a werewolf. But how could that be possible if her family were human? Before I could ask, Sarael had moved out of my arms, putting distance between us. I don’t like this distance. I don’t like it. I don’t like it at all. I know that talking about her family is difficult. I want to comfort her as she tells me all th

Why isn’t he running away? All logic says he should have left me here and rushed back to his pack to warn them there were multiple dangerous members of the Adio family. Told his brother to cancel working with me for the wedding and put a price on mine and Sakina’s heads respectfully. Yet he’s still here. He’s drying my tears and holding me. Is the mate bond that strong he can’t leave me like I’m sure his logical mind is telling him to? How could Irving even be able to forgive me? As a wolf, shouldn’t he be angry and disgusted by my transgressions? I probably shouldn’t keep questioning this. The more I question it, the more likely I am to screw this up further. I could tell he was disgusted with my sister. Rightfully so. Though I am sure, she’d never hurt Isis. Even if Isis is a werewolf, Sakina won’t hurt her own child. Right? Right. If she hadn’t wante

I don’t know if he can do it, but if anyone can find Sarael’s runaway niece, it’s Jonathan Silvercloud. The boy is a genius. Not that we tell him that often. He’d get a big ego if we did. I hope he’s smart enough to be able to even get a current picture of this girl, let alone track her whereabouts.“Whether they know we are mates or not, they will do what I ask. The only two people that can overrule me are Logan and Aurelia. And I doubt they would. We are, after all, looking for a runaway werewolf who hasn’t been able to shift due to magical interference.” I shrugged. From the corner of my eyes, I saw her frown. ‘Of course, she’s going to frown. She’s worried. She’s the source of the magical interference.’ Irving rolled his eyes.I sighed, reaching over to hold her hand. “It&rs

To say I was nervous about facing his pack was an understatement. Obviously, his brother and Alpha doesn’t care that I’m human, given how he teased John when we arrived. But he thought we were here for the introduction of me as John’s mate. I’m guessing his opinion is going to change when he finds out why we’re really here.I was caught off guard when we entered the office, and I saw a young and rather pretty red-haired woman eating chocolate-covered pickles sitting in the alpha’s chair. All confusion was gone when I quickly realized this woman must be the expecting bride, Aurelia. She seems nice enough, but again that could change. She-wolves are more volatile with their mood swings while expecting. And it becomes worse based on the rank of the she-wolf and the child she’s carrying. From what John has expl

That was… interesting. Irving has never stood up to Jericho. He has always accepted that Jericho is the Alpha and given his obedience. I guess it just shows how far a wolf is willing to go in defense of their mate. I’m grateful to Aurelia and Sarael. While Sarael has no sway over Jericho, she could calm Irving so I could gain more control. Aurelia put both wolves into their places, so Logan and I could take back control. Like the Luna that she is, Aurelia handled the situation with grace. She settled our wolves and then arranged to collect Sarael’s car in a way that would not tie back to our pack and look legit. And I’m sure Alex is glad for an excuse to get away. I wonder how long it will take before he tells Aurelia about his baby momma. Then again, she may not even know he was seeing someone. “Come on. You can make your business calls from my office.
Beta's Surprise Mate Chapter 26 - Sarael
Meeting Hana has thrown me for a bit of a loop. Mostly because she started the interaction by calling me ‘Auntie.’ Khalid had only just started calling me eama before I left. So to hear someone call me the English form of the word was jarring. And it struck me in a way I can’t explain. I know it scares me. I’m a terrible aunt. Look what I did to my own niece. Why would someone want me to be their aunt? And then to call me her idol? That girl had me freaking out. I get it that in the werewolf community, being his mate is as good as a marriage license but more binding. I don’t know if I can do this. I’ve gone on one date with the man, and everyone around here thinks it means we are together. That I’m a permanent fixture in the pack. But do I want that? Part of me does. I can blame the mate bond for that. The rest of me feels being mixed up with a werewolf is th
