Semua Bab The Beta & the jewel thief - book 6: Bab 41 - Bab 50

MIKE Senko had a male who, oddly I recognized from the camera footage - the murderer - brought Jonda front, and next to him, center. I was in full Beta mode. Duke riding my skin form along with me. He was fully present. He knew I wouldn’t give him Lyric or little Zane. I knew he wasn’t going to trade Jonda. I also knew, he knew, Zane was at New Moon. There was no way we could have brought him here on time. Especially as he maneuvered his army of… whatever the fuck the creatures and things were – earlier than declared. Not a man of his word. “Wow Senko, all this for us? I’m honored.” I taunted him by cockily saying. Ensuring he saw the smirk I aimed his way. I knew I was goading him. It was inevitable. There would be a battle. Blood would shed. I was determined to rescue Jonda. I would die trying. I wanted my mate. Yes. The shift between us the past few days had settled the idea in my mind. At the same time, I couldn’t just turn my feeling for Jonda off. I loved – Love – her.

SHADOW “I’m sorry it didn’t go as planned father.” Petra wraps herself in a robe descending from the back of a van after flying in there in her raven form. I shoot her a disappointed look. The silly girl is a fool. “On the contrary, dear daughter,” A smirk tugs at my lips, a rare emotion for me but one that’s warranted today. “Today went well.” She frowns with confusion, and I sigh as she hasn’t quite got the big picture yet. “I got what I needed. Saw what I needed to know.” “But they didn’t bring the child, and you didn’t get your breeder.” If I didn’t know how loyal she was, I would swear saying I didn’t get what she thought I came for, made her happy. Just the slightest hint of light danced in her yellow eyes. “That was just a distraction. I don’t need the boy. Not yet anyway. Not until he gets his spirit animal. There's time for that.” I watch Petra’s reaction closely, but this time she gives nothing away, keeping her face impassive. It was true. I knew there was no way they

OLIVER For The first time since Alpha Travis had locked me away in this cell, and I must confess it was nothing less than I deserved, the sound of multiple steps rang out from down the other end of the long corridor. The musty dank air shifted, becoming thicker. Even with my wolf as weak as he was, I felt her power. I smelled her sweet scent. Wafting through the stagnant air of the dungeons. I smiled to myself. I didn’t think Travis would do it. I didn’t think he would tell her. I guess all this reveals is one; he was ready for me to die. Two; Travis was scared of disappointing his queen. I suddenly felt nervous. My hands became clammy and started to slightly shake. My heart began to beat harder, and the thudding of my organ pulsed through my ears. I hoped to make an escape from the life I grew up in, in Bhakhil, but my plans were foiled. I was looking for an out. A way to leave everything behind and find out who it was I really wanted to be. Unfortunately, there is no light at th

LYRIC We had only been back a week and already King Kellen was sending me out on a mission again. Taking me away from my son yet again. Even when I was pulling a heist and working for Miko, I had never spent this much time away from him. I understood, I was the link between those who knew Shadow. The person who knew the workings of the underground more than most. Still, I didn’t like the idea of leaving him again, especially as the threat to him was increasing. And especially as I saw firsthand what Shadow could do. The evidence of his power was probably still scattered around the Golden Circle pack's border, and it still lingered in Jonda. The black veins that plagued her had almost vanished, fading to a deep hue of pink. Not fully gone but receded. Still, she lay unmoving, the child in her womb growing and Rhett by her side. It didn’t look good for the female. Supposedly, once marked by her mate her wolf was meant to emerge. There is yet to see any evidence of that. Truth be t

LYRIC After leaving Queen Tala with Rogue, I headed out of the indoor training grounds. Still feeling full of energy. ‘Let me run.’ Note said, she too was needing to expel some energy. I looked at the tree line in the not-so-far distance just beyond one of the royal gardens, ‘Okay’ I told her, internally smiling when I could feel her excitement and her tail mentally wagged at the prospect of stretching her legs. I hurried to the trees and looked around. Finding no one near I peeled off my shorts and sports bra, shivering at the icy cold air, and shifted into Note. Note shook her fur out, lifted her nose, and scented the air, taking in deep breaths of our surroundings. Then, like a bolt of lightning, she was off. Dashing through the snow-covered ground, heading deeper into the forest. Weaving between trees and ducking under fallen trunks. It was exhilarating, just the feel of the dense wind rippling through her fur as her paws pounded against the crunching ground. The trees becam
