Chapter 15 - Isis
I’m not sure why my mother… ‘Sakina. Call her Sakina. She doesn’t deserve to be called mother.’ Bastet snorted. I sighed. I don’t know why Sakina chose an abandoned mall with vampires nearby to hide her talisman.
I shuddered, just thinking about the kind of tests Sakina has done on living supernatural creatures. Was it to try and lure some in for capture and testing? She would have had to know this area of Portland has vampires.
I felt my stomach churn as I realized I was the product of one of her tests. ‘Sakina was one sick bitch.’ Bastet shook her head. Sadly, she isn’t wrong.
I hurried to get ahead of Nigel as he went to open the doors. “Don’t touch anything.” I warned. “Miss Adio, have you forgotten what my role is here?” Nigel arched his brow at me.
It’s very kind that he wants to protect me. I know he is only watching me because his Alpha has ordered it. Nigel’s job is to guard Sybille, not me.
“No, Mister Boland. I haven’t.” I sighed, s

The Reluctant Alpha Chapter 16 - Kurt
‘Alpha? Beta?’ I called out through the pack link. ‘What is it, Kurt?’ John questioned. I got a grunt of acknowledgment from Logan.‘I do not mean to interrupt. I thought you ought to know we have come across a group of Vampires at the… at the place we don’t speak of.’ I reported.Based on the growl that made my headache, Logan knew where I meant. ‘Sakina hid her talisman here. She put up traps, and one of their clan is trapped within. They have admitted to delivering the box from Khalid. But based on the warning, Khalid left to not trust everyone in Bloodmoon should still question my neighbors.’ I sighed.‘Very odd that a hunter is working with Vampires. But I suppose Khalid is an odd one.’ John sighed. ‘He’s not odd. He’s resourceful.’ Sarael’s voice chimed in. ‘What is the status there? Do you need my help with the traps?’ she questio

I’m just glad we could find and save Caleb before the full extent of the trap could take its toll. I would hate for more people to lose their lives because of Sakina. Even from the grave, she is trying to take lives. I can’t let her hurt anyone else. Though in doing so, I’m feeling very lightheaded. I don’t know if I would have had the strength to free Caleb if Kurt and Godric hadn’t lent me power. I was doing my best to stay standing. Once again, I found myself thankful for Kurt’s support. His arm around me helped me maintain an appearance of strength. “My brother has a way of getting under people’s skins. Though most times if it’s a girl, it’s more a way of getting into her pants.” I frowned. “Un-fucking-likely. My sister wouldn’t give a hunter the time of day.” Mariana scoffed, folding her arms. “Fair. Khalid most likely will piss her off. I just can only hope she doesn’t kill him. Other than my aunt, he’s all I have left of my family.” I sig
The Reluctant Alpha Chapter 18 - Kurt
I’m not sure how I feel about vampires being involved with us. They’ve always kept out of werewolf business, yet Caleb has offered to help if Isis ever needs it.My mate is incredible. Though I guess that’s less willing to get involved in werewolf business and more willing to help Isis. I suppose I can’t be mad about that. We dropped the containment box of the talisman with Silvercloud, and then it was off to the packhouse to speak with Logan. As we walked inside, Nigel got sidelines by Holly. “Hope you two don’t mind me stealing him for a little bit.” she smiled, tugging his arm back to the front door.“Um, yeah, go for it, Holly. We should be fine.” I nodded. “Please excuse me. If I am needed, be sure to contact me, Kurt.” Nigel nodded as he was tugged backward. “Bye.” Isis waved then looked at me, confused.“Is there an emergency or something? Holly seemed
The Reluctant Alpha Chapter 19 - Isis
Two months. Logan was giving Kurt two months to decide his whole future. ‘Giving US two months.’ Bastet pointed out. It took me a moment, but I quickly realized what she meant. My mind doesn’t instantly think of things that way. We’re dating and currently living together, but I don’t always believe that he makes life choices for both of us. ‘Stop being so human. Kurt’s our mate. You haven’t completed the bond yet, but you need to get your head on straight, girl. To put it in human terms, you’ll get he’s our husband. Major decisions have to be made as a couple because they affect us all.’ Bastet rolled her eyes. She’s not wrong. I’ve mostly been looking at our relationship the way a human would. But it’s not that simple, not that black and white. I sighed, letting my hand slip into his. “Kurt?” I smiled softly at him as we walked home. He was quiet and has been since we left Logan’s office. And Kurt, my Kurt isn’t often silent. “Kurt?” I called h
The Reluctant Alpha Chapter 20 - Kurt
I’m dreaming. That’s the only explanation I have. Because only in my dreams do I make love to Isis or hear her ask to be marked. ‘Not dreaming.’ Bastet’s silky voice filled my head as I felt teeth in my neck. I groaned as the surge of power flowed between us. The embodiment of our souls connecting and becoming one on loop as we marked each other in unison. I’ve been told enough about mating and marking work to know what this feeling means. I also know that because I have Alpha blood, sharing power is more intense. And I think because Isis is a hybrid, there’s a difference, but don’t quote me on that. I didn’t really pay as much attention as I should’ve to that book John told me to read. I was never the most studious guy. But I did read and learn enough to better understand what I’m doing in bed than most virgins. ‘Ahem, you also have me here. I have natural instincts.’ Godric scoffed. ‘Oh wow, so this is what you two talk about?’ Bastet snickered.
The Reluctant Alpha Chapter 21 - Isis
I’ll have to extend my thanks to Auntie Sarael, again, for her insistence on me going to the pack OB and getting birth control. I’d been hesitant about it, so sure that we wouldn’t be doing THAT for a while. But I suppose that was my human mind and upbringing coming out. I thought we’d wait longer before getting intimate. That, of course, has gone out the window. All chance of waiting any longer went poof like me teleporting when Bastet marked Kurt. There was no going back from that. I wasn’t sure how I’d feel after the fact. After we completed the bond, I was no longer a virgin. I know most girls would talk to their mothers about boys and sex. It’s not like I had someone to talk to about these things growing up. Most girls didn’t have my mother or the type of relationship with her. We didn’t have chats. Everything I know about sex I learned from books and movies. And then when I got here and was given the ‘talk’ from Auntie Sarael and Aurelia. I’d say
The Reluctant Alpha Chapter 22 - Noya
I clenched my jaw as I tapped my black nails against the tabletop as I glared at my phone. Why hasn’t Wade given me an update? I swear if he fucked this up. If he got caught by Kurt or worse, Logan. I could feel the tendrils of my magic calling to me, wanting to be used. My magic wanted to be set out to cause some destruction. Wade was supposed to report hours ago on what Kurt and that bitch were up to. He told me they had been moved to the packhouse last night after finding an unknown package at their apartment door. I want to know what is in that package and who the hell sent it. Wade’s last update was that he was following them into Portland. He had to be careful to stay at a minimum of five miles from them. The only reason he was able to track them from that distance was because of a spell I had placed on that hunter half-breed bitch during our fight. But it’s been hours since Wade last reported in. It was pissed me off. He wasn’t dead. I’d know if
The Reluctant Alpha Chapter 23 - Noya
“Oh, my poor big sister. To be kept from your mate by an evil hunter hybrid. Is there anything I can do? A way that I can save my big brother? To bring him back home to lead our people and take his rightful mate?” Talia offered herself up. I grinned and stroked her hair, gently returning the hug. “I think there is. Now that you have access to your family link, we can use it. We can know what is happening in his life and find ways to use it to try and undo the brainwashing. But it will take time. And you’ll need to train really hard. Can you do that?” I asked, pulling back to look her in the eyes. I saw the determination of Seigfried in her eyes. “Yes. I will save my big brother from that hunter and those baby-eating wolves.” Talia nodded. “Then we will start in the morning.” I smiled as Wade walked in, looking like he’d been in one hell of a fight
