I honestly don’t remember anything about the movie we went to see. We spent most of the movie kissing. I’m not sure if I should be thankful or annoyed about the armrest between our seats. ‘Annoyed.’ Bastet scoffed as we waved goodbye to Mikali and Annai in the parking lot.
“Did you enjoy the movie?” Kurt asked with a smirk on his lips that were still a little puffy from our kissing. “I don’t know. Didn’t exactly watch it. Someone wouldn’t let me.” I shrugged, sliding into the car.
“Was Bastet not letting you watch the movie?” Kurt feigned innocence with that goofy smile on his face. I laughed, shaking my head at him.
“Well, she’s part of it. She did keep distracting me from the movie, suggesting I test my strength to rip that middle armrest out.” I sighed.
“Our wolves are definitely mates because Godric was thinking the same thing.” Kurt winked. I laughed. This man is just too adorable.
I wish I knew his secret to always being so happy. I know what his life has been like, yet he’s always smiling.
I idolized his cheery disposition even before we met in person. It became one of the things I loved about him.
“Look, I'm sorry. I promise next date night we will do something that doesn’t end up with us making out the whole time.” he promised.
“I’m not complaining. Though maybe next time, if you take me to a movie, pick one I’ve either seen or wasn’t interested in so I don’t feel like I missed out.” I suggested.
“Good plan. Though I think next time we will just go out for dinner. There’s plenty of great places to eat around here.” Kurt nodded.
“I’d like that.” I smiled, reaching over to hold his hand as we drove back to his apartment in Mount Hood. ‘Our apartment. You need to stop thinking about it like we’re a guest. We live with him. It’s our home too.’ Bastet sighed.
I know she’s right. And Kurt has made it very clear he wants it to be our home. I just keep, I don’t know, waiting for the other shoe to drop. For the next thing to go wrong. Which given our run-in with Noya, it’s already starting.
‘Noya is a boil on society, and we are going to do the world a favor by lancing her right through the heart.’ Bastet growled. She was still pissed that the rogue had suggested Kurt take her as a chosen mate. ‘You’re still pissed too. Don’t pretend.’ Bastet scoffed.
‘Yes, of course, I’m still angry. I rolled my eyes. I trust Kurt and know he obviously wouldn’t take her up on the offer. I’m his mate, and he isn’t going to just leave me. But there’s not much I can do about it at the moment.’
‘You know the best way to shut down her challenge.’ Bastet arched a brow at me. ‘Fight her?’ I furrowed my brow.
‘Well, yes, there is that. And we will have to fight Noya eventually. She wants what our mate’s rightful role is. That cannot be allowed. It is Kurt and our duty to take control of those rogues and get them in line. We need to restore the Silverclaw name.’ Bastet went into her tangent.
She is very gung ho about Kurt claiming his birthright and becoming an Alpha. I suppose I shouldn’t blame her since she was born to be a Luna as his mate. ‘
We were born to be a Luna. But nonetheless. The best way to prevent anyone having the idiotic idea of forcefully taking our mate is to complete the bond.’ Bastet gave me that stern look.
I frowned because I knew she was right. I know she’s ready for us to mate with Kurt. I’m sure Kurt and Godric are both more than ready. I’m the one hold-out in this relationship. It isn’t that I don’t want to. I mean, have you seen Kurt? He’s gorgeous.
He’s six feet of wavy chestnut hair, chiseled good looks with a jawline and chin that would make Henry Cavill jealous, those dark eyes with their ever-present glint of mischief, and the body of an Olympic swimmer with his broad shoulders toned lean physique with defined muscles. And then there’s that scar on his chest that adds a dangerous edge to his torso.
‘Our mate is yummy. And you’ve not even gotten to his best feature.’ Bastet licked her lips. ‘His best feature? I thought that was his eyes. I love his eyes.’ I sighed.
‘No, I’m talking about the massive cock he’s packing in those jeans.’ And just to emphasize her point, Bastet brought up the memory of him standing in the living room naked because I unintentionally pulled his towel off.
“You alright over there? Do I want to know what you and Bastet have been discussing this whole time?” Kurt’s voice pulled me out of the memory. “I... I’m fine. Why wouldn’t I be fine?” I asked my voice, squeaking a little at being caught thinking of him naked.
“Because you’re turning as red as a tomato.” Kurt snickered. I groaned. Of course, I was blushing. “We… we were discussing how to handle Noya.” I tried to explain. Kurt arched an eyebrow, a look clearly saying he didn’t believe me.
“Right. And you are blushing because of Noya?” he questioned. “Well, Bastet was explaining one way to ensure that Noya couldn’t try to force you into being her mate.” I explained, growling a little because the very thought of it pisses me off.
“Calming breaths, Goddess. We both know it will never happen. Outside of her forcefully marking me, she can’t make me be her mate. And even then, you marking me would override that because a true bond is always stronger than a chosen one.” Kurt soothed me, gently squeezing my hand.
I nodded, taking three calming breaths getting Bastet back in check before speaking. “I know. And that’s why Bastet wants us to complete the bond. Once we have, there is no way anyone could force us apart.” I sighed. “That’s true. Though until you are ready for that, we aren’t.” Kurt nodded.
“Is that why you were blushing? Because Bastet talked about completing the bond?” he asked. “Well, sort of. And I hope you know it isn’t that I don’t want to or that I’m not attracted to you or something silly.” I sighed.
“Of course I know that. With the amount of time we spend making out, I already got the memo that you are attracted to me. You’re sixteen and spent sixteen years thinking you were a human, being raised as a human with their set morals. So for you, it probably feels way too soon for intimacy. And that’s cool. Neither Godric nor I am going to rush you.” Kurt smiled, bringing our joined hands up to kiss the back of my hand.
“I love you and will wait till you are ready.” he added. I smiled. Every time he tells me he loves me, my insides go to mush. He’s the first person to say that to me.
I mean, dad… I mean Imtiaz… and Khalid would say it. But obviously, they meant it in a family way. And given how I’ve heard nothing from Imtiaz, I really don’t think he ever did.
When Kurt says it, though, it’s totally different. He means it. When Kurt says it, it’s not just because he thinks he should. He says it because he genuinely does, and he always will.
And it just gives me these warm fuzzies to know there is at least one person who will always love me. Someone that I will always love too. “I love you too.” I smiled, leaning over kissing his cheek as we parked.
“I don’t know how long it will be. But I also don’t think I’ll be able to hold out too much longer. Between the bond, Bastet, and just how deeply I feel for you, if I wait too much longer, I may go crazy.” I sighed as we headed for our apartment.
Kurt laughed, wrapping his arm around me as we walked. “I look forward to it.” he winked. I laughed, leaning into him. Our laughter slowly died as we got to the door and saw a package sitting on his 'Definitely Not A Trap Door’ welcome mat. It’s so dorky that it’s adorable.
“Were you expecting anything?” I asked, taking a few steps closer. “No. And if I did, it's late for a delivery.” Kurt frowned, moving cautiously.
“It’s addressed to you. No return address. And no postage.” Kurt froze, putting an arm out, stopping me from moving any closer. “Kurt?” I questioned.
His eyes were glazed over, so I knew he was linking someone. I’m not sure who he was contacting, but I knew who I could. ‘Uncle John? Aunt Sarael?’ I called out through our family link. It took a moment before they replied.
‘Isis… um… hello.’ Sarael’s voice filled my mind. She sounded out of breath which is weird when you consider we are speaking telepathically.
‘What’s wrong?’ John’s commanding voice spoke out, getting to the point. They just moved into their new house in Kavanagh Glen. I’m probably interrupting their private time.
‘I didn’t mean to intrude. I know you just moved. And may want to be alone. But… um, we just got home. There is a package addressed to me, but there is no postage or return address.’ I explained.
‘Has Kurt contacted my brother or Jonathan?’ John questioned. ‘Probably. He is linking someone right now.’ I answered.
‘Do not touch it till Jonathan clears it. I will be right there.’ John instructed. ‘He means we will be there.’ Sarael added. ‘Okay. Thank you.’ I sighed, feeling relieved they were going to come.
“Alpha and Silvercloud are on their way.” Kurt said, taking me to stand away from our door and the package. His eyes never left the suspicious package. “Uncle John and Aunt Sarael are coming too. Uncle John said to not touch it till Jonathan says it’s safe.” I nodded.
“It’s still freaky to hear you call him that. I’m used to hearing Hana say it. But I’m glad you contacted them.” Kurt sighed. “Well, get used to it. And maybe someday he’ll let you call him Uncle too.” I tried to smile. To focus on anything that isn’t the box.
How did it get here? There aren’t any scents in the hall that are out of place. All I can pick up are the scents of the others who live on our floor. Could it be something from the Syndicate?
Could they have gotten a Bloodmoon member to deliver it? Would one of our neighbors help a rogue? There are so many questions. I hope Jonathan gets here quickly to find out what it is and how it got there.
Thank you, everyone, for being so understanding of the delay in this chapter's release. I plan to post new chapters Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from now on. The schedule may increase, but as of now, it's my plan.
I was in a good mood. Sure our date started with the trouble with the Syndicate but it was going great after that. We were making out through the movie. And as we got home Isis was talking about how she thinks soon she’ll be ready to complete our bond. Godric and I are entirely on board with that.I want her to want this. I don’t want it to be because she thinks it’s the only way to ensure people like Noya can’t come between us. And okay it felt good to hear she wants me just as badly. Sure I assumed given how much time we spend making out but it’s nice to hear. To know without a doubt you are wanted.But all those good feelings went straight down the shitter when I saw that box. We had a Se7en moment when we arrived in Incubi Pack, and I do not want to relive that. I am not about that life. I especially don’t lik
I don’t know if I should be terrified or relieved that the contents of the box had been a coded letter and disabling charmed pendant. It could have been worse. I was afraid it was going to be a body part. It didn't matter whether it was sent from my family or the rogues. I was still terrified that inside we’d find a part of Khalid. I should be angry that he set Sakina free, but I understand why he would. She’s his mother. He always idolized her. He wanted to be a strong leader and talented hunter just like her. But in the end, he chose to save my life. Even though it meant taking hers, he did put me above her. And I’m terrified for him because the guild won’t see it as self-defense, and they’ll want to hold him accountable for her death. They’ll have marked him a traitor and a murder. Add that to know
I am hanging on by a thread. A thin, frayed thread of control is the only thing keeping me from entirely stripping Isis naked and fucking her till we both collapse from exhaustion. This is already further than we’ve ever gone. My fingers are on her damn zipper. I am inches from reaching the promised land. And of course, leave it to Logan and Aurelia to be loud enough fornicators that soundproofing only muffles their sounds. Muffling in the same way a car muffles music when the base is too high. Instead of a thumping heavy base, its growls and moans. I swear to the Moon Goddess if their loud, apparently passionate sex cockblocks me, I’m going to lose my shit. I paused, looking up at my mate’s face. ‘If Logan cockblocks us….’ Godric growled. ‘What exactly are we going to do? Fight him? He’ll kick my ass
Oh my god! I’m seeing stars. The things that man can do with his tongue are mind-blowing. I was still on a euphoric high when Bastet moved forward. I didn’t think twice about letting her take control. I don’t think I could form sentences, let alone have the courage to act on what I was thinking. I didn’t want this to be one-sided. I didn’t want Kurt to be left unsatisfied. That’s happened enough times before this. Heated making out that left us both turned on, but I was too nervous to let it go further. I know what Kurt goes into the bathroom to do. We pretend I don’t, but I do. I had been okay with letting Bastet take the reins, and she was more than happy to do so. It was strange watching from the back seat as she seduced Kurt.
I am not surprised at all that Hana is hoping that she gets a brother. The girl had a hard enough time accepting she would have to share her father’s attention with Aurelia when she came into their lives. I don’t want to imagine her jealousy if this baby is a girl. She will not be the only Bloodmoon Princess anymore. Though girl or boy, this child will be considered the Alpha heir till they turn sixteen and either has Bloodmoon Alpha wolf or not. If we learned anything from John and Logan, the firstborn isn’t always the one to be blessed with the alpha wolf. Though I don’t know what happens if Logan and Aurelia only have one child and that child doesn’t have the alpha wolf. Would that mean the next Alpha would be born to John? ‘Stop overthinking about the line of succession for this pack. We may be in this pack for now. But we have a pack of our own we are supposed to be leading.’ Godric rolled his eyes. ‘I don’t want to be an Alpha.’ I grumbled.
Jonathan is truly something else. And in many ways, he reminds me of Persephone. I know she would absolutely lose her mind if she knew that Kurt’s friend is THE Silvercloud, the one behind the tech company she’s obsessed with. I’ve wanted to tell her, but Kurt made me promise not to. He said that Jonathan wants to remain anonymous regarding the company, so the whole pack keeps it secret. And as much as I know, my friend would squeal with delight and beg to visit just to meet him or to get an autograph; I won’t break Jonathan’s trust. Though I wonder if she could help with what he has planned for tracking the frequency of the talisman. I’m sure she could and would probably be thrilled to do so. I bet Alpha Alec would even appreciate such a device to know if my family is circling his territory. Not that I think any of them would. What happened to Sakina’s uncle has not been forgotten. I would prefer to have gone with Jonathan to figure
It was taking every ounce of control to keep Godric on a leash. Hearing there is a traitor within Bloodmoon, a traitor who could endanger Isis, has Godric thirsty for blood. I had shoved my hands into my pants, clenching them tightly into fists to resist the urge to break something. If I break something in John and Sarael’s brand new home, I’m guessing I would be a dead man. And I don’t want to let Godric’s rage blind me and lose control like I did when Isis was injured. I don’t want Isis to see Godric like that or me. I felt so out of control, unhinged… like Siegfried. I don’t want to be anything like that bastard. “At least we know the talisman wasn’t sent to hurt you. Now I just want to know how your brother got it on my doorstep and who the hell he thinks is a traitor in Bloodmoon.” I tried to focus on
I covered my mouth to stop the laughter bubbling inside me at Jonathan. He’s so crazy and adorable. I wish I could introduce him to Persephone. They’d make the cutest couple. Or at least the most outrageous of best friends.‘They are werewolves. Unless they are mates, neither would give the other the time of day romantically.’ Bastet sighed. ‘I know. But they would be so cute together.’ I sighed.‘They’d be terrifying. If Alpha Logan had to give Silvercloud an underground bomb shelter for a lab because of the damage and chaos, I don’t want to imagine those two teaming up.’ Bastet shuddered. I giggled because she’s not wrong.Bastet snickered too. ‘The little veins in their foreheads become more pronounced and ready to burst.’ I can just imagine how Uncle John or Alpha Logan would react to the two of them causing trouble.I blinked as Silvercloud so casually sug
