The Quiet Giant's Mate Chapter 15 - Ivan
Because a visit from André any other day of the week wouldn’t be bad enough, he had to show up during an awkward first morning with my mate. And he had to go on about being family now, and I think I suppressed my shudder well. Nothing personal, but the idea of being related, even in spirit, to the D’Amore family is unsettling. Then he mentioned condoms, which I didn’t see last night, and laughed at us while he walked out. ‘We were too occupied to look for condoms. Plus, Regina was rather insistent on not delaying.’ Cain shrugged while I stared at her stomach as if, miraculously, I would know if she was pregnant. I know pregnancy doesn’t happen overnight, but I also know that once is all it can take. How unlucky would that make us? Though would it be unlucky? We are mates, and while we still need to work out logistics, most couples want a family. My sister wanted a family and has struggled with her fertility issues. I am a terrible brother, mate, and person for even thinking it would

The Quiet Giant's Mate Chapter 16 - Regina
I’m either going to die from embarrassment thanks to Gioia and her lack of a filter or pleasure because, wow, even with his fingers, Ivan makes me feel things I didn’t think were possible. I’ve been exposed to stories of my sister’s and cousins’ sexcapades. So it’s not like I’m a stranger to kinks of all kinds. I didn’t realize I’d be the sort to get off on him watching me get off. Though I don’t think my fingers could or will ever get me off half as well as he does. Thankfully I didn’t have to hear about Alexander’s conquests. The only time I heard about one was my birthday, and it disgusted me, disgusted me even more when he showed up at my party with the bitch, and she announced they were together. Liar…er Lia is damn lucky I hadn’t gotten my wolf yet. If I had, she’d never have been a problem. My mama and sister held back because they are Betas. I’m only an heir, so it’s no skin off my back if I stoned that trash. ‘Will you stop thinking about that dumb bitch? She’s not in the pi

The Quiet Giant's Mate Chapter 17 - Ivan
I haven’t raised my hand or acted violently in over five years. I haven’t behaved violently since the night I attacked the Oscurità e Luce Coven which resulted in my capture. My heart wasn’t in that fight. I’m a big guy, and people will assume I’m violent. I know that for many, it would be hard to believe. My mama used to joke that they should have named me Ferdinand. Yet when Valter greeted us, I wanted to punch him through the glass doors he walked out of. Who the hell does he think he is? Walking out here to bring MY mate coffee and being dismissive of my presence? I get it. He’s bummed she found her mate. However, Regina told me they broke things off two years ago when they weren’t mates. That’s two years to have focused on finding his mate and forgetting any romantic inclinations or attraction to Regina. He’s not even tried to move forward with his life and accept that he would never have her. Over the last two years, how much harassment has she dealt with because of this delusi

The Quiet Giant's Mate Chapter 18 - Regina
“That’s the problem.” I sighed, knowing his thoughts. Finding a willing surrogate was never a problem for my cousin and his mate. Finding one healthy that met all the physical requirements wasn’t a problem. Their problem was she-wolves seeing this as an opportunity to fuck one or both of them. And even more saw this as a way of getting some power in the pack, like an honorary Luna as the mama of the heir. None seemed to get that they would have nothing to do with that pup after birth. They wouldn’t be a mama to the heir. “The surrogates that came forward were under the sick impression that André and or Darren would be making an heir naturally.” I wrinkled my nose. Ivan furrowed his brow. He understood what I meant, but it’s too adorable that he can’t wrap his mind around these she-wolves’ logic. “They realize the Alpha and Aleph are homosexuals, and even if they were bisexual, intimacy with anyone, not their mate, would cause unimaginable pain to the other.” Ivan frowned and shook

The Quiet Giant's Mate Chapter 19 - Ivan
I don’t care how open that family is about sex. I always knew André was a weirdo. And that ‘gift,’ if that’s what you want to call it, he left in Regina’s guest room proves it. That gift was not appropriate. It was also needlessly complicated. Why would I want to have her hanging off me by ropes? Ropes that would dig into my skin, not that I’d feel it, but still. It was far easier just to pick her up and fuck her. It’s not like I’m some weak wolf that can’t hold his mate for any time—given that I could hold her from start to finish, that ‘gift’ from André is worthless. Of the things André has given us, the ropes thing is something I can’t see us ever using. The condoms, however… are something we should stop forgetting. I grimaced as we lay in the bed, and my brain could think enough to say, ‘You forgot the condom, dumbass.’ Regina must have had a similar thought, but her reaction was different. Instead of grimacing, she giggled and moved to straddle me. “We probably should start usi

The Quiet Giant's Mate Chapter 20 - Regina
I am officially over people treating Ivan like some second-class person. That nanny is damn lucky he’s nicer than I am. How dare she stand in the Furlan villa and speak to him like that. And it’s worse, she was HIS nanny! How can someone who helped raise and knew him as a boy treat him like that? I don’t give a flying fuck what she lost in the war. I don’t care that he’s the only surviving ranked wolf from that coup. He didn’t take part in it willingly. He is a victim like everyone else. Icky Iggy, his assclown bestie Gastone, and the wicked witch Melania are responsible. They wanted the war. Icky and Gastone wanted power, while Melania wanted to keep Zio Alec and Crista from awakening Darkness and Light. All three of them paid for their actions. Zio Alec killed Icky Iggy, Darren killed Gastone, and Katrina killed Melania. The END! I hope that future interactions with Tasha are more pleasant. I’m not saying she needs to learn her place because she’s the nanny, and we are ranked wolve

The Quiet Giant's Mate Chapter 21 - Ivan
While Regina set up the Facetime on my laptop, I checked my files, looking for the envelope Alexander had brought me that day three years ago. I finally found it and tucked it into my pocket when Regina waved me over. “Now that I have everyone together, I have an announcement. Last night at the ball I found my mate. So, I’d like to introduce you to the newest member of our family.” Regina smiled and stepped slightly to the side to allow me to sit in the office chair. I took a deep breath as I slid into the office chair and came into view of the camera. Isadora smiled at me, while Damon, Zoe, and Alexander had the same expression. That expression said ‘what the fuck’ loud and clear. Her Mama may have welcomed me to their family, but the looks of the others weren’t very welcoming. “You’re serious?” Damon questioned. Regina rolled her eyes and sat on my lap to be in view. Damon and Alexander didn’t look thrilled that she was now in my lap. “Of course, I’m serious, papa. See…” R

The Quiet Giant's Mate Chapter 22 - Regina
The video meeting with my family went…I don’t know how to describe it. At least no one spoke against Ivan and I being together. That’s what mattered the most to me. I wanted him to feel welcomed by my family. I knew how hard it was for him to sit there and witness how my family interacted. I know how much he missed his parents at that moment. I missed them too. For me, it was different because I was missing people I didn’t know but wished I had a chance to. The call quickly went off the rails when we brought up the missing document. While I’m glad that my brother truly had no malicious intentions and thought he’d fulfilled his Beta duties. And I mean, he did. It wasn’t his place to break the Alpha seal to confirm what was inside the envelope. I was equally relieved and pissed when Darren revealed it was Lia behind it all. I know it’s weird to be relieved by it being that stupid bitch’s fault. But hear me out. I was relieved because it meant it wasn’t my brother’s fault. And it also m

The Quiet Giant's Mate Epilogue - Ivan
Going to that masquerade ball was the best thing to ever happen to me. Soon to be second best. I know you’re probably wondering what could replace finding my mate as the best thing to happen to me. I will happily tell you it’s the birth of our pup. I love Regina with all my heart, and meeting her changed my life, but becoming a papa is something I believed was even less possible than having a mate. Finding out Regina was pregnant had a ripple effect of reactions, mostly good. Isadora was over the moon that she was going to be a Nonna. Damon was… sad, not disappointed that we were having a baby. He was sad that he would be away for most of the pregnancy. He’s sent little trinkets from his travels that are customs from the packs he’s visited when a new pup is on the way. Regina has loved receiving mail every week or so from around the world. Zoe sounded happy for us, though she’d had her own mountains to climb in the later months of Regina’s pregnancy. I’m not going to get into tha

The Quiet Giant's Mate Epilogue - Regina
I won’t blow smoke up your ass and say the last two years have been perfect. There is no such thing as perfect. Anyone who tells you their life is ‘perfect’ is in denial. My life quickly changed three years ago at André’s masquerade ball. I went from being single to having a mate to having a son. There is only one thing I’d change if I could: finding Ivan sooner. I do wish I got to dole out Lia’s punishment for tampering with official documents. In the end, she got what was coming to her. She may not have been turned to stone and knocked over, effectively killing her. But who am I to argue with how André allowed Delilah to deal with her? That was one of the perks of being their surrogate. They let her decide Lia’s fate. It seemed fair that Lia hurt Delilah just as much without realizing it. Lia is still alive, but she’s learned her lesson and may never want to be near a plant again for the rest of her life. And no one in Sicily will ever see her again as she was kicked out of the pac
