The Sigma's Reluctant Mate Chapter 154
Delilah breezes ahead of us, looking around the decor. She comes back to collect James so she can show him an old photograph of someone she knows. “Um, how old is she?” I ask Reggie and Marco. “Good question. No real appropriate answer.” Reggie takes a sip of champagne and pulls up an image on his phone. “We know she’s over a hundred years old, but not older than two hundred. She says Claude Monet was her stepfather. He painted her mother in the mid-eighteen hundreds, but there are no images of Delilah. She seems to be fuzzy on dates until the nineteen hundreds.” “That’s definitely Lady Camille. She got more gray hair now, though.” Marco smiles at the image. “Come on. Let’s help these girls.” Estelle peeks out of the manager’s office and waves to me, making my brain flip into work mode. “That’s our cue. Marco, Estelle, is a veterinarian, but she’s a sigma expert. She knows as much about them as my father or me, maybe even more. She treated and detoxed the twins when I originally p

James approaches Kara, holding both hands up so she can see the piece of metal and the box with buttons. “Okay, Kara. I’m going to slide this metal between the collar and your skin. It might be tight, but I’m not trying to choke you. It will just be for a few seconds, okay?” “What is that?” She points to the metal. James looks at Reggie, who shrugs. “No one will ever believe it. Might as well tell them.” “This is a piece of Achilles’ battle armor. Have you ever heard of him?” James turns the metal over in his fingers and gives Kara a gentle smile, as if he is trying to convince a child. “That’s the sound Katie makes when she sneezes.” Kara turns serious, forgetting about the metal piece. “It’s true. It sounds just like me.” Katie echoes her sister’s words with a nod. “What… Achilles?” James tilts his head. I think he’s starting to understand the twin’s intelligence level now. I cross my arms and observe the interaction, amused. “Don’t keep saying it, Mister James.” Kara puts h

I walk Delilah, James, and Marco out to the alley so they can get home the same way they arrived. “Marco, you have five minutes!” Delilah opens a portal, creating a cold suction feeling in the alley. “Keller Joseph Marshall, it was a pleasure to meet you. We will meet again soon.” James gives me a brief salute and turns his attention back to Delilah. He gives her a little twirl, making her clothing turn back to the wool coat she was wearing when she originally came through the portal. He kisses her hand before they step through together. “Marco, um, real quick, before you go. Bianca. The Luna Regent mentioned she could be Zara’s sister, but she didn’t say it like, you know, one hundred percent outright.” I choose my words carefully so it doesn’t sound like an accusation. “Everyone from your pack seems to adore her just as much as the next person, which is awesome. I’m glad she has an excellent support system… but, uh, so I was just wondering, who are her parents exactly? Is she Za

“What do you mean ‘Jasper has sigmas for mates’?” Mom puts her hands on her hips and gives me a dangerous glare. “And why are you using the plural here, Keller Joseph?”“At the club last night, Jasper and I were at the bar talking and the sigma twins we brokered to Darius Cirillo stopped to say hello… and uh… they met Jasper and… well, you know how that goes… they’re all mates.” I try not to cringe under Dad’s scowl.“Do you understand how dangerous this is, Keller?” Dad snarls on the verge of losing his temper. “For Jasper, for those girls, and even for us.”I hold my hands up in surrender. I thought after a good night’s sleep, the news would go over better in the morning after breakfast, but I was wrong. “Would it make you feel better if I told you the Regents’ pack is helping take care of it?”“THE REGENTS MET YOU IN A BURLESQUE BAR?!!” Mom shrieks and grabs her hair into fists. Dad cringes at her exclamation and holds his finger up to his lips, but it’s too late. Dillon wakes up a

Monday morning, I pull up to the science lab building, get out, and open Zara’s door for her. She pauses and looks into the back seat towards Dillon’s car seat. “Maybe I should stay home today.”“Zara, come on, we talked about balance. Going to class is part of that, right?” I pull her light pink beanie over her ears and give her a little kiss. “Dillon and I will be fine for a few hours on our own. Jasper will pick you up from the library at two p.m. That will give you time with Dillon and time to get a nap before dinner. Okay?”She nods with a little pout. “I know you’re right. I just… I’m worried.”“I get it, Pocket. I felt the same way on Saturday when I went out for Sam’s birthday. You’re going to be fine. When you get home, you can spend time with Dillon, take a nap, and work on homework if you have any.” I take her hand and give her a lunch box. “For now, you need to focus on class and getting your extra calories in. I packed you a grilled chicken sandwich. There are also olives

Dad arrives five minutes before Estelle and Tyree, giving him just enough time to hang up his coat and give Mom a kiss.When the doorbell rings, Mom takes off her apron and answers it. From the kitchen, I hear a low growl. Lily snarls in her deep, raspy voice. “Who are you?”Oh shit. Estelle must have arrived already in her true form. I thought she would wait and remove her glamor once they sat down to have the conversation. I drop my knife and run to the foyer to help prevent an altercation. “Mom, Lily, it’s Estelle. Smell her scent. Dad, you too!”Tyree is standing in a defensive stance in front of Estelle, who is in her true form. Tyree’s eyes flash from dark brown to black and back to brown, trying to hold back his wolf. Mom and Dad are blocking the entryway, preventing them from coming in. Mom and Dad each take a deep breath. Mom’s black eyes fade back to brown, but Avalanche is still close to the surface. “Estelle? Wh-what’s going on. Why do you look like that?”“You need to ch

“Bro! That’s amazing! Come in! I can’t wait to tell Zara and my parents. Estelle and Tyree are already here, too.” I motion for them to come in from the anteroom. Sam steps in first and makes a beeline for the living room. Jasper motions to Katie and Kara, who nod at him and stay in their spots. “Kel, can I talk to you for a second before the girls meet everyone?” He tilts his head and looks a little worried. “Girls, please wait right here. Don’t get on the elevator. Just count to, I don’t know, twenty and I’ll be back by then. Okay?” “Like twenty dollars or like twenty times?” Katie puts her finger to the corner of her lip with a confused look. She is wearing a blue jewel toned dress that makes her eyes appear even more blue. “Uh, I’m not sure what you mean by times, so let’s go with twenty dollars.” Jas sticks his lip out and nods his head confidently, as if he has made a big decision. “Dollars are good.” “Okay.” Katie turns to Kara. “Kara, do you remember how to count dollars?
The Sigma's Reluctant Mate Chapter 161
Inside, everyone is chatting happily. Mom and Estelle are discussing pediatricians with Zara. Dillon looks like an angry little bean in Tyree’s massive arms, but Tyree looks comfortable, cooing and smiling playfully at the infant with his canines elongated. Sam and Dad are shaking hands and laughing at one of their corny inside jokes.“Mom, Dad, I’d like you to meet Jasper’s mates. This is Katie and Kara.” I motion to the twins, who are hand in hand next to Jasper. “Girls, these are my parents. They are helping Zara find that cure we were talking about.”The girls bow their heads and shrink back. Katie grabs Jasper’s hand and pulls him closer until she was hiding under his arm, her head buried into his side. “It’s okay, Katie. You two know most of these people. Phil and Amy are almost like my parents.” He smoothes her hair back and reaches for Kara. “Come here, Beautiful. No one’s going to hurt you.”Kara leans heavily against Jasper’s chest and buries her head next to Katie’s. Both
