The Beta & the jewel thief - book 6 Chapter 18 – Out of Whack
JONDA I left the dungeons more confused and frustrated than ever. Originally, I wanted to see Mike's fated mate, to know who she was. Because as much as I love him, I couldn’t, wouldn’t, believe that the Moon Goddess would fate him someone that was a murderer and thief. He was too good to be fated to someone who wasn’t. He deserved better. Better than me. I didn’t want to let go of Mike, but I couldn’t keep him. Not now. Even if he said she means nothing to him, the bond would have already snapped into place. Now it was up to fate. Any chance of him and I had, had slipped through my fingers the night I betrayed him. I certainly wasn’t expecting to see the man I had a one-night stand with. And I sure as fuck wasn’t expecting it to be Rhett. I had heard so much about him from Mike and Kellen, but I had never laid eyes on him myself. I was in shock. Time slowed down as my eyes focused on his face. When he introduced himself, his name ringing in my ears, I could do nothing but freez
The Beta & the jewel thief - book 6 Chapter 19 – The Return of Zane Noir
LYRIC 2 Days Later I sit holding the key card I swiped from my mate two days ago, twirling it through my fingers. Staring at it, debating if I should walk out of here. I would deal with the guards, hopefully, come up with a plan where I could avoid them. Yet every time I think I’m going to get up and try to escape, Note pipes up, urging me to stay and wait. Telling me she has a gut feeling. It’s been two days. The only people I have seen are the guards who have come to bring me food. I sit in the same shirt I was given by the man named Rhett. Dirt and grim coat my body and my hair is a greasy mess. Itch all over but as yucky as I feel, the anxiousness overrides my OCD. I have no idea if they got to Lizzy and Zane. If they picked them up from the safe house or not. I haven’t been told anything. I tried to ask the guards and requested to see the man they called Rhett or even my mate. They just told me to wait. I was becoming more and more frustrated, agitated, and worried for my so
The Beta & the jewel thief - book 6 Chapter 20 – How He Came To Be
LYRIC **FLASHBACK 3 YEARS AGO” I slipped out the window, propelling myself down the six-story building. My feet hit the ground silently. I look left and right, up and down the alley, thankful there was no one to witness me descending down the brick wall. The bag crossed over my shoulder sat heavy. Not because of the gold chalice I stole, but because of the weight of our crime that sat heavily on my chest. One would think after doing this for the past two years, I would have grown accustomed to it. But I don’t think I ever would. My wolf, Note, hated it. Thought it was below an Alpha female to steal. However, it's what put a roof over mine and Lizzy's heads. Plus it kept us away from Miko’s wrath and his henchman Bram. Quickly I walked down the alley, staying hidden in the shadows until I came to the main street, where I had parked the rust bucket of a car I stole. I hopped in and started the car, the engine rumbling to life and a sigh of relief came out of me when the piece of cra
The Beta & the jewel thief - book 6 Chapter 21 – A New Suspect
MIKE I walked straight into the adjoining room and fell back against the wall. Listening to Lyric’s story ate away at me and my wolf. I could feel every one of her emotions. Duke howled at her loss and growled at her tears. It angered him to see her in a state of grief. With each word, I felt a pang in my chest and the bond called out to me, pulling me to my mate. Each string that tethered us together kept pulling tighter and tighter until I felt like I was being suffocated by her remorse and pain. “That was-“ Rhett blew out a breath, “WOW. Was not expecting that.” He said. I looked at Kellen and something passed between us. A notion, a guess. His eyes were glassy, and I knew her story about the pup had gotten to him. He was a new father, and I could only imagine the thoughts that went through his head after his mate had only given birth a few days ago. “I have everything on tape and documented,” Tyron spoke, filling the void. “G-good.” Kellen replied, stuttering out the word. Pu
The Beta & the jewel thief - book 6 Chapter 22 – Trading Games
JONDA I came to in darkness, hands bound behind my back and mouth gagged. The effects of the drug the stranger smothered me with had left my brain feeling foggy and my body groggy. Even though I could hardly move, it still felt like a ten-ton weight was pinning me down. I couldn’t see, but I knew I was in a car, specifically in the trunk. The vehicle bounced over the road and I with it. I laid here for what seemed like hours, breathing through my nose, the smell of the exhaust making me want to hurl. Finally, the vehicle came to a stop, and I listened to the car door open, and slam shut. Then the trunk was being opened and light flooded through temporarily blinding me. A stark contrast to the freezing air that whips at my bare arms. I squinted against the bright sun and looked up at the figure who stuck a hand out and roughly grabbed me, dragging me from the trunk. I stumbled to stay upright and, on my feet. Tripping over when I was shoved forward. “Keep moving.” the stranger said.
The Beta & the jewel thief - book 6 Chapter 23 – Memories
LAMIA As our convoy pulled up to the New Moon Place, I received a link from Hunji telling me he and Morgan had crossed into Riochts territory. Even if the Guardians had kept Riocht safe and hidden for hundreds of years, I still hated to leave the kingdom without a leader. Hence why Hunji had gone back and not stayed here in New Moon. I was excited to meet my little nephew and to congratulate Kellen and Tala. We are all still so young, yet but I felt older beyond my years. War will do that to someone - Reshape your mind and thoughts. Three years ago I had only just gained MacTire, but it felt like a lifetime ago. It hadn’t even been that long since I, we, had claimed Riocht. I look over to my mate as he pulled the car around and stopped in front of the palace's main entrance. The four cars behind us followed suit. “You good little wolf?” Mathias asks, his hand reaching over and squeezing my thigh. “Yeah,” I shake the feeling of strangeness from my mind and smile at him. “I’m not s
The Beta & the jewel thief - book 6 Chapter 24 – Shifting Emotions
MIKE I have my mate escorted up to the Alpha floor. When Lyric walks into the dining room all eyes are on her, especially my wolf’s. Duke howls in my head to move closer to his mate but I keep my feet grounded. Though my eyes wander over her, appreciating each and every curve on display under a pair of skintight leggings and a sports bra. Her long hair is tied into a ponytail and still reaches past the middle of her back. Her skin prickles with goosebumps and Rhett goes to offer her his sweater. A growl rips out of me, I whip off my t-shirt and shove it towards Lyric. “Put this on,” I commanded her. At first, she was hesitant to take it. I turn to Rhett, “Your scent has only just faded from her. Don’t touch her again.” I was surprised by my own jealousy, and I didn’t know if it was because of him and Jonda, or my wolf and I becoming possessive over our mate. Either way, I didn’t want Rhett’s scent on her again and I certainly didn’t trust him to be near another female of mine. Whe
The Beta & the jewel thief - book 6 Chapter 25 – A New Friend
LYRIC The queen of shifters, Lamia Langley Artos, was not what I was expecting at all. When everyone left the room and it was just us, I would be lying if I said I didn’t feel a little afraid of her. The power that oozed from her was almost suffocating. My wolf, Note, mentally rolled over and showed her belly in submission to this power shifter. Yet when the doors shut behind the others and the room eerily quiet, and I dared to look at the queen, she was wearing a soft smile. A genuine one. And nothing about her aura said she was going to hurt me. I was surprised by how welcoming she suddenly made me feel and didn’t look at me like I was trash, a thief, or some disgusting scat on the bottom of her shoe. I pinched my lips together and gave her a tight smile back. Even though the queen showed no ill intent, I still found it hard to trust anyone. “Do you know who your pup is to me?” She suddenly asks, jarring me from my inner thoughts of sizing her up and determining her intentions.
