Chapter 29 - John
She was so adorable when she took the book from Shea. The expression on her face, the stubble wrinkle in her brow, and the awe in her rich brown eyes as she touched its pages. It was a similar expression to when she spoke of flowers. I made a mental note to take her to the library in the packhouse. Unlike the one that is available to the public, ours holds older texts that store the history of our pack.
I would have felt bad that I brought her here with an agenda. I wanted to show her the pack and my hometown, but more so, I wanted to show her what our life could be. I want her to like it here. I want her to want this. To want to be with me. I know I want to be with her. No matter what, I want to be with her, and I’ll wait longer if that’s what she needs.
I chuckled at her question as we stood before the house I had built when construction on Kavanagh Glen be

Beta's Surprise Mate Chapter 30 - Sarael
This house was a lot like the man. Beautiful to look at with a very traditional and sophisticated appeal, but beyond first glimpses is a mystery. Nothing about what I saw in the house showed me more about the man. I could understand why he hadn’t decorated yet. He wasn’t thinking to move just yet.Now that he’s found me, he wants my input. I won’t admit this, but I like that. If or when we take the step of living together, it won’t be me moving into his established home or him moving into mine, for that matter. I love the home style he chose, and I like the interior choices he has made, especially in that kitchen.Everything about that kitchen was perfect. The cabinets, the butcher block island, the cream and tan granite with dark brown vein countertops, the white porcelain farmhouse sink, the high-end white matching ap
Beta's Surprise Mate Chapter 31 - John
I wanted to rip Sakina’s throat out just for her past crimes. And now that urge, that thirst for blood, was even more prevalent as she threatened innocent pups of my pack. Though I must wonder how the hell these two always find themselves in danger. Aurelia rescued them from a Syndicate rogue two years ago, and now they got ambushed by this hunter. Might need to discuss with them the need to be more vigilant. That’s a problem for later. Right now, I need to get Iver away from Sakina while protecting Sarael and Evan. Neither of them was making that task easy on me. I had to put myself between Sarael and her sister when she got the idea in her mind to try and talk to the deranged bitch. But then Evan started to act on impulses, and I had to stop him from getting himself killed. I am not explaining to their mother why even one of her sons died on my watch.
Beta's Surprise Mate Chapter 32 - Sarael
I shouldn’t be worried about my sister. She is a terrible person. I’ve always known that, and today just continued to prove that. She was going to kill that red-haired boy, Iver if I hadn’t stopped her. I don’t want to think about how many others she hurt or killed to get this deep into the territory.I wanted to thank the boy for saving her. He didn’t have to, and I know he took a risk getting involved. He was taking a stand against his Alpha. Which isn’t an easy feat for a full-grown werewolf, let alone a child like him. It was courageous of him. But we got separated upon arrival at the hospital.Their mother was rightfully worried and hauled them for one of the pack doctors to check on their injuries. Meanwhile, John had carried me to a different exam room. “Hello, Beta John.” an older man with salt and p

I was just relieved to know the hit to her head didn’t result in more than a minor concussion. I’m still suppressing my rage and the desire to slowly and painfully kill Sakina for even touching Sarael. That she injured her had every protective instinct in me, in Irving on high.Sarael is correct. I know that I can’t just kill Sakina, though. If she dies, the rest of their family will come looking. And while the idea of meeting your mate’s family is supposed to make you happy, I don’t want to meet her family. I don’t think I could be in the same room as any of them without feeling the urge to kill them.To not linger on those dark feelings of hate and anger, I focused on Sarael. I prefer that any day. Especially when we are touching, and I feel the sparks of the bond. It soothes me. It helps Irving to even connect with h
Beta's Surprise Mate Chapter 34 - Sarael
Walking into that room was probably the most uncomfortable I’ve felt in many years. It was a packed room with not only the ranked wolves but also the guards assigned to the ranked females. The only thing that made the situation feel less intimidating was the children in the room. The two little ones were very adorable.I gave my guard a once over. He’s not bad looking with his black hair and blue eyes. He’s not on the same level as John in the looks department, but that’s beside the point. I’m noticing a trend with the guards of the ranked females. They all have mates. Which I suppose makes sense. Ensure that the ranked male doesn’t get jealous of a male around their mate.And apparently, the guard I haven’t met is mated to Evan and Iver’s older sister. I suppose that will help make it easier to thank Iver f
Beta's Surprise Mate Chapter 35 - John
For as calming as having her in my lap is, it's equally problematic. Between my natural physical reaction to her plump backside and that she's basically announced to everyone of importance in the pack that we aren’t actually a couple, I don’t know what’s more embarrassing. And to make it worse, she uses the face I’m still in the stages of wooing her as a reason I shouldn’t blame Alexander for Sakina finding my pack.I frowned as she wiggled out of my lap and declared that she would be returning home after checking on her sister. I don’t want her to go home. I want her to be here with me. I know Sakina is locked up, and therefore the immediate danger is gone, but I have this feeling this is just the tip of the iceberg.I sighed and stood up, placing a hand on the small of her back. “Is that a good idea?” Loga
Beta's Surprise Mate Chapter 36 - Sarael
I know that Alphas are supposed to be more aggressive and single-minded. In a sense, they feel they are correct, and everyone else is wrong. But Logan takes the cake. He takes all the annoying qualities I expect of an Alpha but more concentrated into his small body. And what’s more annoying, he’s a scruffy miniature version of John. That similarity in appearance to John makes it difficult to stay angry at the little twerp. At least Aurelia distracted him. Charles made a valid point about the dynamic of the mate bond. Or at least what I’ve witnessed so far being around this pack. Though it’s a two-way street. John’s just as good at distracting me from situations. That was strange, and maybe the book will explain how the mate bond affects species that aren’t werewolves. Because this is not normal.
Beta's Surprise Mate Chapter 37 - John
Of everything she could have said, I did not expect her to say I would be staying. I always feel like it’s one step forward and two steps back with Sarael. I never know if I’m actually making progress with her. It’s rather dizzying. And as welcoming the thought of staying here with her is, I fear that it’s just a ploy. That she’ll eventually tell me to leave, and then she’ll be left unguarded. Irving, of course, doesn’t think rationally about any of this. All he heard was that our mate had invited us to stay with her. To stay the night with her. He’s a little over-excited at the idea of spending the night with her and what that might mean. I don’t know which of us wants to not be a virgin more, but I at least can think clearly to not get ahead of myself. For all I know, if she doesn’t send me away, she’ll have me sleep on the sofa or in her guest room. Irving
