MIKE I woke up to Lyrics' small body sprawled across me. I hadn’t even opened my eyes and could feel the enigma of sparks dancing between our skin. I cracked an eye open, her hair fanned across my shoulder. Legs and arms draped over me. My arms were wound around her middle holding her in place. I had never felt such comfort as I did laying here, with her in my arms. She shifts in her sleep slightly, her leg nudging my hard length. The friction makes my cock jolt and I groan at the thought of what it might feel like sinking into the warmth of her tight pussy. I didn’t want to move; I didn’t want to let go of her, but I couldn’t lay here with her leg brushing against my cock or I was going to crumble, and Duke was going to take over and take what was his. “Lyric,” I whisper. My voice was low and gravelly, still full of sleep. My hand wanders over her back, stroking her. “Lyric,” I whisper again. She stirs but only to tighten the grip her legs and arms already have on me. She buries
The Beta & the jewel thief - book 6 Chapter 55 – Foiled
MIKE There was no way in hell I was letting Lyric go in there alone. No way. ‘We don’t leave mate.’ Duke says with finality. Agreeing with me. I felt a little guilty about the way I handled Lyric. She just didn’t understand that even looking at her was driving me insane and goading Duke to claim her. I didn’t want that. I didn’t want my wolf to mark her without his consent and definitely didn’t want him mating her in front of the warriors. My actions were shameful, but her actions were seen as a challenge, I was a hot-blooded male with a dominating wolf who was just as highly ranked as an Alpha. I just snapped wanting nothing more than to make her submit. It was my primal nature to control and command. When she didn’t show me respect my tether of control snapped. Pete climbs out of my car and seconds later Lyric is hopping in. Her scent immediately fills the car and wraps around me. I have to close my eyes to rein in my urges. I had no idea how we were going to get through the n
The Beta & the jewel thief - book 6 Chapter 56 – I Didn’t Lose Anything
LYRIC “Everyone out now!” Garrison yelled, unraveling the whip from his side and cracking it through the crowd. The tip of the tail, sparked with blue electricity as it crackled and whipped the air. The club’s music had halted, and the crowd parted to reveal Mike. One of the men holding me pushed me forward, grasping my hair tightly, using the length to yank me into place, and digging the taser deep into my side, wielding it like a knife. Bodies began to scramble wanting no part of what was about to go down. Mike glared from across the room at the man that held me. Rage and a promise of death shone in his eyes and though Mike's look was full of danger and an emotion that would have most men cowering, I smiled. His look of pure fury warmed my heart, and I knew he would destroy them all. For me. It took only minutes for the club to empty out. Leaving Mike and I surrounded by Garrison and his two dozen or so posse of goons. “Tell me, Swift, is this the client who hired you to steal
The Beta & the jewel thief - book 6 Chapter 57 – So that’s the Big Deal
LYRIC Not being able to sleep anymore, and now the birds chirping outside had made it impossible. I swing my legs out of bed looking at the other side where Mike had slept the night before. I frowned wondering why he hadn’t wanted to be near me. I thought last night’s events may have changed that. I shake the thoughts away refusing to dwell on the subject. The male confused me. I made my way to the bathroom, switched on the shower, and waited for it to heat up before stepping under the moan-inducing warmth of the spray. I stood for several minutes just letting the water roll down my body. I washed up, washing my long hair. I really should cut it because it took forever to rinse the soap out. Satisfied all the soap was out of my hair I switched the shower off and wrapped a towel around my body. Only lightly towel drying my dark locks before emerging from the bathroom. Once back in my room, I began to pull clothes out to dress. Picking a pair of black pants matching red underwear

PETRA I watched from around the corner as Alpha Travis emerged from the dungeons below the castle. Hidden by the shadows disguised as an eleven-year-old girl. I hated this body. I was a woman now and had been living in this form for over a year. Pretending to be a child again was frustrating. I bite my lips as I watch Alpha Travis wearily climb the stairs to his floor. Almost every night he goes down to the dungeons stays a few hours, or sometimes not even that, and returns looking tired and worn and always with a deep scowl on his face. He’s changed, Alpha Travis has. When I first came here, he was all smiles, strong, intimidating when he needed to be, and not cruel like some Alphas. Though in the past six or so months he had become broody, never smiling, and short tempered. Queen Lamia was here last week with Hunji and it was so good to see them. Even if they thought I was a helpless little girl, they treated me like family. I wanted that. Family. My mother had been killed, I c

RHETT The moment Jonda’s eyes opened all the hope and fear melted away from me. I smiled at her and brushed her chestnut hair back from her face. “Beautiful, welcome back.” I had cooed to her, giving her a genuine smile of my own and sending prayers to the gods for her waking from the coma. Except that happiness was shattered when she scowled at me, finally focusing on my face. “Where’s Mike?” She tries to sit up looking around frantically. Her eyes scanned every crevice of the room with a deep scowl. It was not what I wanted to hear. I felt something for Jonda, a connection, a pull. I wasn’t sure it was love just yet but as I looked at the bite mark on her neck, the one I had given her, I couldn’t understand why her wolf would not recognize me. She was meant to have her wolf now that I had marked her. My bite should have broken her curse. “Baby, take it easy,” I tell her gently, even though my blood is beginning to boil with her dismissal of me. “No.” She shakes her head a litt

MIKE I’m pretty sure I have said it before, and I will say it again. Moon jinxed. Fucking moon jinxed, I was. I stayed away for a few days hoping Jonda would come to her senses. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. Instead, I was told she had growingly become more agitated and angrier. Demanding to see me. Tala and Rhett had tried to explain to her what had happened, hoping it would jog her memory, but Jonda wasn’t having any of it. She increasingly became irate throwing things and lashing out. Threatening to hurt herself if she didn’t see me. The hospital corridor was eerily quiet as I slowly threaded my way to Jonda’s room. It’s like the realm knew something I didn’t. I find Rhett sitting outside her room, head in his hands an aura of defeat surrounding him. “Rhett,” He lifts his head slightly and turns it to look at me. His eyes rolled with distaste. “I don’t know what to do. I have marked her, and she still loves you. She doesn’t believe us.” I pinch the bridge of my nose as

MIKE Several Weeks Later So much has happened in the last few weeks. It seemed like a major event for New Moon had taken place each week since Lyric and I had completed our bond. In between trying to track down Senko, and working with the other kingdoms on this continent, Tyron was rightfully promoted and officially made Royal Delta. I couldn’t be happier for our friend. Tyron and Kellen had worked out their kinks, and Kellen recognized that Tyron was the right wolf for the position and not Rogue. Rouge is a great guy, one of the best fighters of our time, but he had made it clear where he fitted into New Moon and that was protecting our Queen, Tala. The thing Kellen treasured most. Tala’s official crowning had been rescheduled. Tala said she didn’t need a crown and would be happy to use his mother’s for the ceremony, but Kellen wasn’t having any of that and had a new crown commissioned for her anyway. The crowning ceremony took place two weeks ago. We kept it on the down low, in
