The Alpha's Surprised Mate (Book #1 of Silver Moon Series)

One-Hundred One: Catching the Bear

One-Hundred One: Catching the Bear

Chris

I believe I have come up with a plan to catch Ian. Oh, I can’t wait to get my hands on this bastard. My

sisters are the reason those three are even able to shift in bears. I know my sisters were pissed when

they found who the three bears were. Even though they didn’t show it I know they were also hurt by

their betrayal. I did learn from Brandon that each of the bears wants to steal one of the girls for

themselves. The only problem with my plan is convincing Marcus to agree to it.

“So I think I have a way to catch Ian,” I announce.

“Ok, good cause the rest of us are drawing a blank,” Draydon admits.

“So Brandon told me that he found out that each one of the bears has fixated on one of the girls,” I say.

Of course, as expected this causes many of the guys to growl. I think the same because I sure as hell

don’t want any of them touching Nymyra. However, it is not Nymyra that Ian wants.

“Go on,” Payton says.

“Well, I think that we should use the girl that Ian is fixated on as bait,” I tell them.

“Which girl would that be? Because if it’s Kylani the answer is a very huge fucking no.” Kaleb states.

“It is not either of my sisters. Just for the record if it was they would be the bait even if you said no.

They want this done with just as much as us.” I tell him.

I hear Kaleb mumble something under his breath. Even if it pisses him off he knows it’s true. Kylani

would be the bait if asked.

“Ian is fixated on Leah,” I comment.

This earns me a very deep and loud growl from Marcus. Yeah, I had a feeling he would react this way.

“There is no fucking way I am letting Leah be used as bait to catch that bastard,” Marcus growls out.

I knew this was gonna be his reaction. I don’t blame him. I explain that we can’t use my sister's

because he will probably be expecting that. It would be too obvious. They agree. Marcus is still

adamant that Leah is not doing this. I am thinking of a way to convince him to go along with this plan.

“I have an idea,” Dimitri adds.

“Ok, anything has to be better than Chris’s delusional plan,” Marcus says.

“Persephone is coming down tomorrow to talk to Araya some more. She is bringing a friend who is also

a Nephilim. I have seen a picture of her and she looks strikingly like Leah. They could almost be twins.

Maybe we could ask for her help.” Dimitri explains.

Well, this idea has a lot of promise. I wonder if she would help. Maybe if I talk to Aunt Persephone and

explain what we are doing she can talk to her friend and see if she’ll help us.

Persephone

Malyka and I have just walked into the packhouse to meet with Araya and Mitchell. I brought her so

they could talk more about how it works with being a Nephilim and mates. I know some but not

anything in detail. Araya asked me a few questions last time that I just couldn’t answer. The packhouse

is eerily quiet. I don’t hear any arguing and that concerns me. I am so used to the triplets arguing that

the fact that they’re not arguing has me worried. We walk towards the sunroom to find both Araya and

Mitchell already there. He has his arm wrapped around her shoulders and her head is laying on his

shoulder. They look extremely cute together. The two of us take a seat across from them.

“Hello, you two. This is my friend Malyka.” I say introducing them.

“Hi Malyka it’s nice to meet you,” Araya says.

“It’s nice to meet you guys as well,” Malyka replies.

I update Malyka on what Araya and I have previously discussed. I decided to let either Araya or

Mitchell bring up the subjects of mates. I watched as Araya started chewing on her lip. She does this

when she is nervous.

“We were wondering how it works with mates and her being a Nephilim?” Mitchell asked.

Malyka smiled at them and then she started explaining the details. Apparently, it works the same ways

for the most part as any other supernatural being.

“The truth is that you Araya are actually already considered of age as far as being a Nephilim.

However, as humans and some other supernaturals are concerned you are not of age. So I would

suggest that we explain this to everyone here but out in public you be careful.

“WHERE ARE ALL OF THE FUCKING COOKIES AT? IF THEY ARE ALL GONE SOMEONE IS

GETTING TURNED INTO A FUCKING SLUG.” Kylani screams.

Malyka’s eyes widen and she looks very surprised. I just laugh. This is what I expect.

“SORRY BUT THEY HAVE BEEN GONE FOR TWO DAYS,” Chris yells back.

“WHO IS THE BASTARD THAT TOOK THE LAST ONE? SOMEONE IS BEING TURNED INTO A

SLUG.” Kylani announces.

I just smile and pull out the three bags stuffed with more sweet treats. I get up and we all head to the

living room. The scene is hilarious. Kylani has poor Brighton in a corner and he is begging her to not

turn him into a slug. I watch as she stands and takes a deep breath. She smells my baked goods. She

whips around and a huge smile breaks out on her face. I place the bags on the table and everyone

comes out of hiding to claim their baked goods.

“Thank you for saving my life,” Brighton tells me.

I just pat him on the shoulder. The girls wander off with their sweets and that’s when the guys ask

about Malyka helping them catch the bear. She says she will be more than happy to help. This should

be interesting.

Kaleb

We set the trap outside of a cafe. Marcus says that he frequents his cafe. How he has not run into any

of the girls is amazing. They all come to this cafe on a regular basis. I am glad they have not run into

each other. I can only imagine the disaster it would be if he had run into any of them, but especially

Mykenzie and Kylani. That would be a cluster of epic proportions. Malyka is sitting in a chair sipping a

coffee she bought. I am very amazed at how similar to Leah she looks. Marcus had to do a double-take

when we first met. I was laughing hysterically at Malyka’s face when Kylani threatened to turn someone

into a slug. My goddess is ridiculous but I love her more than life. Those two girls have an

uncontrollable sweet tooth. Persephone is a saint for keeping a constant supply of sweets in the house

right now. We watch from across the street. So far he has not shown.

“Shit what the fuck are they doing here?” Xion says.

Chris, Dustin, Marcus, Jason, and I turn around to see who he is talking about. Seriously why are they

here? They should be back at the packhouse or decorating one of the cottages.

“How are we gonna get rid of them?” Jason asks.

Of course, it would have to be my gorgeous goddess and her sister. We watch as they walk into the

cafe and come out a few minutes later with coffee and what I am guessing are breakfast sandwiches.

They continue down the street not even noticing Malyka. We all breathe a sigh of relief. That could

have been a major fucking problem. We continue to watch. Ian appears about thirty minutes later. He is

walking out of the cafe with a drink when Malyka gets up and starts to walk away. He sees her and

starts to follow. He follows her down a side street. We watch as she stops and he continues to walk up

to her. He is reaching out to grab her when she whips around real fast and stabs the needle into his

arm. The syringe has a sedative in it. We all watch as he realizes that it is not Leah. He turns to run but

the sedative works too fast and he drops. We walk up to Malyka.

“Shit that stuff works fast.” She comments.

“Yeah. we knew that we needed something that worked fast. We didn’t want him escaping.” Dustin

says.

Marcus and Jason roll him over as Chris and I tie his hands and ankles so he can’t fight back if he

wakes up on the way back to the packhouse. Xion backs the SUV up as Marcus and Jason lift him up This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

and place him in the back. Now to get back and wake his ass up. Time for him to talk.
