Chapter 20 - Sarael
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
Beta's Surprise Mate Chapter 22 - Sarael
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

I’m hoping that by showing her around town, she’d be more inclined to be with me, to stay with me. I don’t think Irving or I could survive if she rejects us. I know leaving her home is probably something she’s not keen on. And I can understand that. But I also can’t be too far from the packhouse as the Beta. She was at least smiling, giving small nods to pack members as we passed them.I was making a mental list of everyone that whispered rude remarks. Did they forget I could hear every word they uttered? “What’s he doing with a human?” “Guess he’s more like his brother than we thought.” “Taking a human lover.” “I never would have thought he’d be that sort.” It was ridiculous, and I’ll be hauling each one into my office for a reprimand about gossiping like that and talking down about my mate.
Beta's Surprise Mate Chapter 28 - Sarael
A book about half breeds?! This could tell us more about Isis. In all the lore and texts I’ve ever read, it didn’t discuss what happens when supernatural creatures breed with each other, let alone with humans. The most I ever found was that the offspring would favor one side over the other. It’s how Sakina and I knew how to confirm that Isis did indeed have a wolf spirit. Perhaps their book would mention something, anything that would help find her. Or at least better understanding what she might be going through right now. And otherwise, I’ll admit I would like to find out more about wolves mated with humans. If I can understand better how this will all affect me as a human, I can better prepare. “We were just on our way home from visiting our granddaughter Virginia.” Shea nodded. “How is the pup? Keeping your son Fion and his mate Juliet in shape chas
