The Alpha's Surprised Mate (Book #1 of Silver Moon Series) novel Chapter 102

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.
