The Genius Delta novel Chapter 12

Riding in Jonathan’s Aston Martin DB5 erased all my troubles about Mila from my mind. Hard to think about annoying bitches that want my mate when I’m in a car like this. And while it was fun to tease him about him coming to Incubi, I never even considered that an option. If I were in line to be Beta of Nebrodi, I’d have fought for my rank. But I don’t have a rank and wouldn’t dream of taking him away from his role as Delta.

Every trouble I had melted away on the drive back to Bloodmoon. Nothing else mattered between being in this car and talking about our future. I was excited to get to the packhouse because we’d let others know we were mates. I’ll have to video call my family back in Sicily. I would say I don’t know who will be more excited at this news, but I already knew it would be André.

I had a smile on my face as we went into the Bloodmoon packhouse. The smile lasted all of five seconds. I should’ve recognized her, but I met many people when I got here last night and was too tired to care. And right now, I’ve had it up to my eyeballs with bitches trying to throw themselves at Jonathan. I couldn’t do anything about Mila because we were at the office, but now I’m done letting people think they can touch my mate.

“Hana? What is going on?” Alpha Logan questioned, raising his toddler daughter’s hands from his eyes as she was perched on his shoulders.

“What happened? I was trying to bathe CJ.” Luna Aurelia frowned as she came down the stairs with their infant son wrapped in a hooded baby towel in her arms.

“She grabbed my collar and threw me to the ground.” Hana accused, accurately but still accusing, as she got up, pointing a finger at me.

It dawned on me very suddenly who this human was. She’s the Bloodmoon Princess. I folded my arms because there was no way I would back down. Being an Alpha’s kid doesn’t mean a free pass to throw yourself at other people.

“Alpha Logan, Luna Aurelia.” I bowed my head respectfully. “Tell your daughter she touches my mate again, and it will be worse than her ass hitting the floor.” I glared at Hana.

All eyes turned from me to Jonathan. “Guess who found their mate this morning.” He grinned and moved closer to me before wrapping an arm around my waist.

Logan groaned while Aurelia sighed. Hana, however, looked at Jonathan and then at his arm around me, tears filling her eyes before rushing upstairs past her stepmother and baby brother. I should feel something, right? Like empathy or something like that. But I can’t bring myself to. What did she think would happen? That Jonathan would never find his mate and be hers?

“I’ll go check on Hana.” Aurelia sighed. “She shouldn’t be so surprised. She knew he wasn’t hers.” I heard her muttering as she walked up the stairs.

“Coud!” The little red-haired girl on Logan’s shoulders clapped before holding her arms out. “Up!”

Jonathan arched an eyebrow at me. “Are you going to duck it out with a toddler if I hold her?”

“A two-year-old is very different from a sixteen-year-old and older throwing themselves at you.” I rolled my eyes and elbowed him.

Jonathan chuckled as he took the younger Bloodmoon princess off her father’s shoulders. “Hey, Rosie. Are you at least happy for Uncle Silvercloud finding his mate?” He spoke in the sweet voice people use when talking to a child.

“Happie.” Rose parroted with glee.

“I’m sorry about Hana.” Logan sighed. “She’s unfortunately had a crush on this idiot most of her life.” He shrugged.

“I never encouraged it, to be clear. And you don’t have to worry about Rosie here.” Jonathan smiled, kissing the little girl’s cheeks. “She’s already got her sights set on Royce Bryant.”

Logan growled and took his daughter back. “Let’s not start talking that way. She’s two. She doesn’t know what having a crush means.”

I chuckled. “I wonder if this is what Alec will be like when Gwen and Christina start liking boys. Then again, I wonder if he was like this when Katrina and André were growing up.”

“Probably.” Logan sighed and nuzzled his daughter’s face. “Stop trying to grow up so fast. No liking boys or dating till you find your mate.”

“Are you going to tell CJ the same thing about girls?” Jonathan arched his brow.

“Of course. Not going to give CJ special treatment because he has a dick.” Logan rolled his eyes and then looked at me with a heavy sigh.

“So you’re his mate. So I have to deal with both of you for the rest of my life?” He shook his head. “And I’ll have to call Alec and let him know your summer visit became a permanent residence. Speaking of residence, you don’t plan to keep living here, do you? Cause I swear to Goddess I’m not insured enough for two crazy inventors under my roof.”

Jonathan and I were both laughing. He warned me this was the most likely reaction, at least from Logan. I wish he’d warned me about Hana and her crush on him. I might have been less aggressive. The key word is might.
