LYRICMike lay in the room next to us sleeping peacefully. Whatever he made happen, and however he made it happen, had wiped him out. His body and wolf had slipped into a deep slumber fully exhausted from exerting that amount of energy.Other than needing rest, thankfully, he was unscathed.Tobias had taken Twenty-Nine to the Golden Circles cells. Rhett was hovering outside the room Jonda was currently laying in, while doctors fussed around her taking her vitals and hooking her up to antibiotics and saline.She was in a severe state. Dehydrated from loss of blood. Her skin was pale and the dark veins that covered her body were slowly receding. The energy or light Mike had produced was what brought her back to life. Rhett's bite is what stabilized her.There was a theory surrounding Jonda’s curse, why she didn’t have her wolf. She was told her wolf would only emerge when she met her fated mate – a wolfless shifter. That was Rhett, so I was hoping that since he marked her, her wolf woul
The Beta & the jewel thief - book 6 Chapter 42 – All is Not as It Seems
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
The Beta & the jewel thief - book 6 Chapter 43 – Torture Me a Story
LAMIA A roar so loud and so enraged shook our room as Arcas, Mathias's beast voiced his pure outrage and wrath at what Travis just said. His possessive and protective side causes him to rumble and shake with the knowledge. I hung up stunned into silence. Or so angry that I couldn’t even comprehend my emotions or form a single thought about what Travis just told me. “Lamia.” Mathias tries to get my attention, his voice harsh and grating as he desperately tries to control his own anger. I heard him but I was struck dazed. I can feel my heart thumping harder, gradually building up to a panicked pace. My breathing becomes heavier. I’m lost for words. I pinch my arm to make sure I’m awake and not imagining the phone call I just received. That this isn’t a dream. I want to think this is a joke, but I know Travis would never joke about Oliver. There was nothing remotely funny in relation to that mutt and what he did to us. What he let happen to us. “Lamia?” I tilted my head towards my
The Beta & the jewel thief - book 6 Chapter 44 – Oliver's Confession
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
The Beta & the jewel thief - book 6 Chapter 45 – Olivers Truth
LAMIA I stood listening to Oliver, listened to what he divulged until I no longer could. Knowing what I knew and what Oliver has just told me, my wolf and I were beyond mad. Anger didn’t even scratch the surface of what we were feeling. Silas and Orion had their own agendas, they were both dead, and we had no need to worry about them anymore. But Senko had been there from the beginning. The story Althea told us about him coming to Tolba, the way he left, had been a lie. Not on her end, but Senko’s. He had discovered their secret. He went willingly with the friends he had met before reaching Tolba. He wanted to create a new race. An army and wanted my DNA to do it with. We of course, already knew about little Zane. But were there others? Others he managed to clone from the DNA of mine and Zane's unborn child. How did he even obtain it, as Oliver told us, he was killed two years prior to my capture by Silas. I was ready to walk away, to let him die until he opened his mouth again. “
The Beta & the jewel thief - book 6 Chapter 46 – Grandma
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
The Beta & the jewel thief - book 6 Chapter 47 – Why not ask a Friend?
MIKE “I’m so done with this shit,” I tell Kellen rubbing my tired eyes. We had been in his office all frickin’ day after Lamia’s proclamation that she was going to hunt down Senko and then Mathias's phone call. All I wanted to do was go back to my childhood room and drown my sorrows, reflect on my misgivings. even letting Duke out for a good run would be better than going over documents and maps. Personally, I thought we were being a bit premature. Tyron had been questioning our prisoner. Twenty-Nine. We let the prisoner stew for a few days in one of our least comfortable cells below the palace. Tyron was still working on obtaining valuable information from him. But the creature had been holding strong against any method we had currently used. I wanted to question him myself. Maybe my methods would be a little more persuasive. But noo! Kellen had me here strategizing against an army of more weird fucking creatures. Because Crawlers weren’t enough. I call them creatures because
The Beta & the jewel thief - book 6 Chapter 48 – Puppy Love
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
