He stands up, pulling away from my hand and when I see him digging in his back pocket, it hits me of what's going on. My hands go up to cover my mouth when he falls onto one knee, giving me the biggest smile he can at the moment. I watch as he opens the small, black box to reveal a silverring with a smaller ring on the outside that's lined with diamonds. I look back up at Archie, whose eyes are now permanently electric blue."Henry Brooke, will you do me the honour of becoming my husband?" I hide my face in my hands as a small sob leaves my lips and I know that if l even try to open my mouth an embarrassing sound will come out and ruin the moment. I look back up at him and nod my head, enthusiastically. He immediately pulls me into a tight hug as I continue to cry because this is so not what I expected the secret to be. I'm surprised and I'm excited because this is so not what I expected the secret to be. I'm surprised and I'm excited because even though I'm only 18, the spirits hav
The bed creaked when he pounded into me, stopping for a second to let out an indecipherable noise that sent a chill up my spine. I balanced on one hand as the other travelled between my legs to touch myself. My eyes squeezed shut when he removed his nails from my hips and placed it on my ass as he slowed his pace and carefully pulledout before sliding back in. I bit my lip to suppress a groan from coming out as he teased me with how slow he was going. He kept going like that and when I looked back at him, his face was flushed red and he looked kinda embarrassed."What?" I let out in a breathy tone. "l hurt you," he said, holding up his hand to show his nails with traces of blood on them. I reached out to grab his hand to help pull me up so I was sitting in his lap, his cock burying deep inside of me. I placed my hand on his thigh while he landed on my stomach to stop me from moving."It's okay, it feels so good" I whisper weakly to him. His hand slid down to cover mine before he star
"l always assumed that you and Robert would get engaged before Archie and I. I mean, you two have been together forever, it just makes sense. Do you think he'll propose soon?" She lets out a sigh. "I don't know. I'm hoping that seeing his best friend get engaged will resonate with him, but I don't know if it will. We've talked about it before and he seems open to the idea, but I think our age has a lot to do with why he hasn't popped thequestion. He just thinks we're so young.""But come on, you two already know you'll be together forever since you're mates, so you're going to get engaged eventually, why not just do it now? I mean, it's his choice, but if you know that you'll be with someone forever, don't you want to just promise that to each other as soon as possible?"Jenny nods her head. "Yeah, that's my thinking too, but he just doesn't think that's a good idea. He still wants to wait, most likely, which is alright, I guess. It just means I'll have to be open to the idea of wai
I let out a yell before my head goes under. I feel Archie's hands slide up my legs as he rushes to the surface to get a breath of air. I come back up too before slapping his arm as he lets out a laugh before looking at me. What was that for?"He wraps his arm around my waist, kissing my cheek. "Just thought it would be funny, which it was." We all relax in the water, swimming around while we wait for the rest of our friends to show up. I notice the people in the water are looking at us while whispering something that I couldn't quite hear.I was taken out of my trance when Archie went back underwater before swimming underneath me to scoop me onto his shoulders. When he stands up, I yelp, grabbing a hold of his hands that are on my thighs to balance myself."Archie, no!" I scream as he moves around to make sure I don't fall over. His hands slide down to hold onto my ankles while mine tangles in his hair, lightly pulling on the wet strands. I notice that Jenny's on her boyfriend's back w
I know he's just trying to keep everyone calm, but I can tell that he's also trying to get the best out of the time we have in case something bad happens during the rogue raid. I look around to see everyone nodding, agreeing with what he was saying. Lila stands up, pulling her shirt down. "That sounds like a wonderful idea. Let's leave in two hours, so everyone go get ready, maybe talk through some things if you need, and then we'll get going."We all get up to go to our own rooms and I just hope that Robert and Jenny work through their problems because I can tell how much stress all of this is putting on their relationship. When Archie and l's bedroom door closes, he turns to me, grabbing the collar of my shirt to pull me into a passionate kiss. I take a step backwards as he pushes me against the wall and I can feel the need in his actions as he grabs my waist. I place my hands on his chest, lightly pushing him away.As soon as I look at his face, I see the tears falling down his fac
I look at my parents who were sitting with Lila and Austin to help them get their shoes on and I'm immediately hit with a wave of gratitude that they are good friends now. I don't know what I would've done if my parents didn't like them because these memories we're all creating together really were the best for me. Jasmine comes to stand next to me, taking me out of my trance to pull me towards the ice."You ready?" I ask Joey, who looks pretty nervous to take his first step."Yeah, he says and I make sure Robert's okay with Jenny since he hasn't ever been skating before either and would need to learn a few things before he got too confident. I grab hold of the side before taking a step, gliding with ease against the ice. Archie's next and when his foot hits the ground, his knee buckles and he almost trips, caught by my sister and I. We laugh, helping him to stand on the ice so he can get used to the feeling.I intertwine my fingers with him in a tight grip as Jasmine does the same s
"Henry, I'm so sorry, but we have to go, Lila whispers, running her hands over my shoulders. I hated my thoughts at the moment because all I could think was that Jenny and Lila had so much time with their mates and I felt like I hadn't had any. I just wanted to go away somewhere and hold him in my arms forever. I wanted to live my life with him by my side where something like this would never, ever happen. I wanted to grow old,watching our kids shift into little wolves for the first time. I just wanted him forever. I felt myself being pulled off of Archie and I couldn't hold in my breakdown anymore.I turned in Lila's arms, crying into her shoulder. She holds me tight as I hear footsteps behind me, telling me that they are leaving. Jenny set her hand on my back, ushering us out of the house and into the car so we could go to the hotel. I sat in the back with Jenny, laying my head in her lap as I held her hand in silent support.Once we got to the hotel, we went up to the room since m
"Everyone's still out there"' he forces out it's okay, they'll figure out we're busy, l tell him. I keep placing soft kisses on his neck before getting rougher and starting to suck on the sensitive skin, making him buck his hips up to clash with mine.He surprises me by pushing me off of him and shooting up to grab his backpack. He pulls out the clear bottle before throwing it at me while he focuses on pulling his pants off.I lay on my back, pulling my pants down to let my dick out before rubbing some of the liquid onto it. Henry crawls back on the bed before straddling me to quickly lower himself on me, letting out a moan. I reach up, covering his mouth since we were one door away from our families.He leans back, setting his hands on my knees as he lifts his hips before coming back down on my cock. My head rolls back as the pleasure consumes me as he builds up a rhythm to satisfy both of us. I make sure to keep my hand on his mouth because I would be so embarrassed if someone heard
I was woken up by my husband , but l turned onto my stomach, not wanting to deal with his hard dick since that was usually what he woke me up for in the middle of the night. I was shaken again, still ignoring it since he usually gave up eventually. "Henry, I know you don't want to get up, but Jelilah just called and she's in labor so we gotta go to the hospital."I immediately shoot up in bed as he tells me the news and I'm instantly way too excited now that I knew that my baby boy is coming today in possibly just a few hours. Archie chuckles, throwing a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt at me as he changed into real people clothes for the first time in a few days since we've just been relaxing before we were elbows deep in diapers and formula. "Is she already at the hospital?"He nods his head. "Yeah, it took awhile for me to answer my phone because I was dead asleep. She's been there for about an hour already." I nod my head, way too excited to even be mad that she's already been th
"Welcome, family, friends, pack members, and loved ones. We gather here today to celebrate the wedding of Archie and Henry. You have come here to share in this formal commitment they make to one another, to offer your love and support to this union, and to allow Archie and Henry to start their married life together surrounded by the people dearest and most important to them." I tighten my grip on Archie's hand as tears form in my eyes, making his eyes soften when he sees that I'm about to start crying. A single tear falls and he reaches up, using the pad of his thumb to wipe it away, making some of the pack members in the back awe."Marriage is perhaps the greatest and most challenging adventure of human relationships. No ceremony can create your marriage; only you can do that through love and patience; dedication and perseverance; talking and listening, helping and supporting and believing in each other; tenderness and laughter;through learning to forgive, learning to appreciate you
I smile, holding the letter to my chest as my eyes start to get watery again at the idea that I'm marrying my best friend in, like, two hours. I hid the paper on the bedside table before starting to get dressed. I put on the dark grey pants first, loving how slimming they made me look. I slip on the white button-up shirt before tying the maroon tie around my neck, securing it with a silver tie clip that my dad wore when he married my mom.I decided to do the whole "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue" thing because it's supposed to bring good luck. My dad's tie clip was then something borrowed, then something old was a book that Elder Collins will be using for the ceremony that the elders have been using for centuries, which changed every few years to accommodate the change of time. The new thing was me changing my last name to Brooks-Henry since I didn't think I could part with my last name. My mom said that I had to incorporate the name somewhere, so the
