My Mate.....The Nerd 18. Ryker
"Ryker" Preston gasped as he took in the clearing. I had a couple of pack members decorate it. There were fairy lights hung on trees. Smack in the center was a table for two with tiki lamps around lighting the area. Beside the table was a cart with trays of food and a cooler that held the drinks. Since Preston was under age still, I had them pack sodas instead of alcohol. "How did you do all this in such a short time?" He asked turning to face me and I smiled "I had help from a couple pack members. Do you like it?" I asked while looking at the clearing. Flowers had long gone died due to the winter weather and the trees had gone bare. The air smelt fresh and clean. Snow was coming soon. "No" I blinked shaking my head at his reply making my heart sink only to sigh in relief when he added, "I love it. This is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me. Thank you" "You don't need to thank me, Preston. You deserve the world not just this simple dinner under the stars" I said and he s

I woke up to the sound of my Dad's heartbreaking howl and I felt tears sting my eyes. I climbed out of bed as more howls and whines filled the air and looked out the window to see Papa's wolf dash into the trees. Today, 17 years ago, mama passed away and every year on this day, Papa went to the cemetery to talk to him. I felt tears roll down my face as the pain filled howls broke through the night sky. Today was going to be a long day for everyone. The moon was slowly beginning to go down with the sun rising in the horizon. No need to go back to bed when I'll have to be up again in a couple hours anyway. Walking over to my desk, I picked up the picture frame that rested there. I was 8 months old when it was taken. Mama and Papa were both smiling down at me as my hand wrapped around Mama's pinky. My siblings were crowding around the bed with Julianna being in Papa's lap. "17 years have come and gone in a blink of an eye and I wish I knew you before you went away. I wish you were here

I looked over at Preston who had fallen asleep a few minute ago and clenched my hands on the steering wheel. I was fucking livid. Benson had contacted me through the family link telling me to get my ass to the school because Preston had ran out of their last class crying after what their teacher said. I wanted to strangle the bitch for making my mate cry. Who in their fucking minds tell their students that they should get over the death of their parents even if it's been years? To tell their student that their parent was a faggot? If it weren't for Preston sobbing in my arms when I arrived at the school I would have marched down the hall towards the Chemistry classroom and bashed her head on the wall for saying those to him. Preston never met his other dad who he calls mom because he died when Preston was only a baby. I was lucky enough to have met Jessie, his mom, before he passed away years prior since he was friends with Marc who had been the alpha at the time. He was a good guy t

The drive from Ryker's pack house to mine was like a weight was pressing down on my chest making it hard to breathe. Every step I took closer to the house was like a stab in my chest making it hard to breathe. Tears rolled down my face the closer I got. A hand taking hold of mine made me choke on a sob. Ryker pulled me closer to him and kissed the top of my head as we walked in silence. Eyes of the pack looked on with sorrow and sadness. Papa was and will always be the greatest Beta the pack has ever had and the fact that he was dying was hard for everyone. "We're here for you remember that" Ryker whispered as we stood in front of Papa's room. I felt the knot grow as the seconds ticked by. I closed my eyes and willed the tears back before clearing my throat and knocking on the door. A second later it was opened by a red and puffy eyed Julianna. The second we were face to face she pulled me into an brace that had me sobbing once again. To hell with holding back my tears."Are you goi

"Hey" I looked up to see Preston leaning against the door frame of my office and pushed back from my seat and patted my lap making him walk over and sit down, his head tucked under my chin as my arms wrapped around him "How are you feeling?" I asked and he shrugged his shoulders as he played with the strings of my hoody. It's been over a month since Princeton's passing and I know it's been hard on him. The day after the funeral he moved in with me stating that being at his house hurt because he'd wake up in the mornings expecting to see his father at the island laughing along with his older siblings but when he'd walk in the island would be empty or filled with silence as he and his siblings ate. It'll take time for him to get back to his old self and until then, I'll be here to hold him and whisper words of encouragement."I've been better." He whispered and I closed my eyes as I felt his tears soak my hoody before his shoulders began shaking as he cried. I pulled him closer and kis

"I want to renovate the apartment" Ryker said out of the blue and I blinked before sitting straight in my seat and looked at him with a raised brow "Yeah and what did you have in plan?" I asked and he beamed making me chuckle. He was like a child on Christmas morning. He pulled out a folded piece of paper and handed it to me and I unfolded it and finding a beautiful design "I was thinking of making it a two story apartment. I mean the top floor isn't being used so why not?" He said with a shrug of his shoulders "The top floor can be where the bedrooms are while the bottom floor can be the living room, kitchen/dining room, game room and theater room. Maybe even have a playroom in the future when we hav kids" I said and his head snapped up so fast that I winced when I heard it crack and he rubbed his neck "How many kids are we talking about?" He asked with a cheeky grin making me roll my eyes "We haven't talked about that have we?" I asked an he hummed taking a sip of his water whi

Graduation day was tomorrow away and Preston was a nervous wreck, why? I had no idea but seeing him thinking of anything that didn't have to do with his parents, was better than anything. He spent four days locked in our room crying a week prior about them not being here for him -until a pup had been found and brought to the clinic where he spends his days in- and and all I did was hold him and tell him that they'll be watching him from wherever they are and are proud of him. Now he was worried that he's going to fall flat on his face as he walked up the steps to get his diploma. He was worried that he'll make a fool of himself but I knew he was going to be just fine. He always thinks negatively when it comes to big events like these.I can now only imagine what he'll be like when the day comes when we get married. He'll probably lose sleep. He worried and fretted over everything and anything but that's what I love about him. Over the course of the year of being together, he's gotten

The stands were filled to capacity with family and friends of the graduates and a stupid part of me searched the crowd for my dad, but I knew he wouldn't be there among the parents and it hurt to think that he wasn't present but deep down I knew he was watching along with Mama and the rest of the family who wasn't here anymore. The slight breeze that passed through me was enough proof that they were present and that made the ache in my chest full and a smile to cover my face. I looked up when I felt eyes on me and saw Ryker looking my way>Are you alright beautiful?>Just nervous, but it's to be expected

My Mate.....The Nerd Epilogue: Ajax
*10 years later*It's been 10 years now since MoonLit Haven became a pack and over time, it had grown exponentially. We were now considered one of the biggest packs in Canada alongside MoonLit Oasis, Savage and King Packs. I couldn't be happier because I knew how much AJ had wanted to grow the pack and knowing his dream came true was the best thing that could ever happen to him, to us. Watching my mate and husband be the alpha he was born to be was a dream come true. Under AJ's leadership, MoonLit Haven had implemented innovative strategies for both growth and harmony within the pack. He believed in nurturing the physical and emotional well-being of every wolf, thus bringing out the best in them. Each wolf had a purpose, whether it was providing security, hunting, or tending to the young and injured. The pack thrived on a sense of belonging, where every individual knew they were invaluable, contributing to the greater good.One aspect that set MoonLit Haven apart was its emphasis on

"Are you ready to go?" Ajax asked as he walked into our room with Athena beautifully dressed in a pink and blue dress with a white bow. She looked absolutely stunning. Ajax himself wore a white button-up shirt with a pair of jeans that he paired with black shoes. "Yeah," I nodded and smiled at him. We were heading to Beau and Derek's house today since it was little Lucas' birthday. He was turning four. It was crazy because it feels like it was just yesterday that Beau and Derek were telling us they were expecting a baby, and yet, four years have passed since that day. They had invited us to the party when we had gone over last week.And not only that, but it turned out that Ashton had found his second chance mate in a guy named Camden. It was a pleasant surprise for all of us. Ashton had been the only one among the pack that had yet to find his second mate, so it was a joyous occasion for everyone. Along with Camden, Braxton had arrived at the pack house. Braxton turned out to be the
My Mate.....The Nerd 25. Ajax
*time skip*A lot has happened in a year. Ashton and I became friends, something I tonight would ever be possible. I gave birth to Athena who was the happiest little girl in the world. She knew how to get you to bend to her will with many a look of her bright blue eyes and little pout. Oh she has everyone wrapped around her little finger, specially her father. AJ would go to the absolute end of the earth to make her happy. I've told him to stop spoiling her too much but that man won't listen, and if he does he chooses to ignore it. But back to my unlikely friendship with my former mate, Ashton. I knew AJ had his reservations about me being friends with the person who had rejected me even before we got to know each other. Ashton has apologized and has explained that the reason why he did what he did and said what he did was because he was scared of what people may think of him for being mated to someone who had Down syndrome like me. Personally, I thought it was the stupidest reason b
My Mate.....The Nerd 24. AJ
I was in my office when I smelt a familiar scent in the air and clenched my jaw. Ashton has been visiting Ajax a lot more frequently since they became friends and as much as I wanted to tell him to not come over, I didn’t want Ajax to be upset with by rejecting his friend. I sighed and rubbed my face as I ignored the scent of the wolf and turned back to the piles of paperwork on my desk. A knock on my door made me look up and call at the person on the other side to enter. “I’m still wondering how yon still haven’t told Ajax to not invite that guy over,” Dillon said as he walked in and sat across from me once he closed the door behind hm, “if Jake had a mate before me and was rejected and then said mate wanted to be friends with him, I’d be pissed and would tell him to not invite him to the pack house.”I leaned back in my chair, rubbing the ache that had formed in my temples. "You forget, Dillon, that our mates are different," I responded, trying to keep my frustration at bay. "Ajax
My Mate.....The Nerd 23. Ajax
I've never imagined I'd ever experience an attack of this magnitude after having a baby two weeks ago, and yet that's exactly what happened. Everything had been going perfectly fine. Jake and I were in the playroom area of the pack where the orphaned children of the pack were playing with the adorable pups of the pack members. I held Athena close to my chest, cherishing the warmth of her tiny body against mine, just as Jake did with his own precious baby girl, Artemis. It was a peaceful afternoon filled with laughter and joy.But it all changed in an instant. It was so sudden that it took us a moment to realize what was happening. I watched in horror as our mates, Dillon and AJ, ran into the yard growling and snarling, their fur bristling with adrenaline. They were joined by their friends, a united front against the intruders. Jasmine, our fierce warrior, herded the running women, elderly, and other teens and children into the safety of the pack house, with Anna and Beth helping her. T
My Mate.....The Nerd 22. AJ
It's been two weeks since Ajax gave birth to our baby girl and every day since the day she was being had been an absolute joy. She was beautiful and perfect in every way. The pack has showered both Mother and pup with unconditional love and affection always ready to lend a helping hand. Today was no different as Alice our pack Doctor and Martina—one of the new pack members and child caregivers—came over to see Ajax and little Athena."Hello, Alpha AJ," Alice greeted as she and Martina walked up the gravel path to the front and I smiled."Hello, Alice," I greeted back and looked at her companion, "hello, Martina.""Hello, Alpha AJ," Martina greeted with a smile, "how are Alpha Ajax and little Athena doing today?""They are doing great," I replied, leading them inside, "Ajax has been getting stronger each day, and Athena is growing like a little warrior princess."As we entered the living room, Ajax was sitting on the couch, cradling Athena in his arms. His eyes lit up as he saw Alice a
My Mate.....The Nerd 21. Ajax
Finding out that AJ and I were expecting our first child together was an amazing and exciting experience. We had been trying to conceive for quite some time, and the news brought us an immense amount of joy and anticipation. Little did we know, this beautiful journey was just about to begin.AJ, despite me only being five weeks along, took it upon himself to ensure my utmost comfort and safety. He believed that carrying anything heavy might pose a risk to our unborn child, and so he adamantly refused to let me engage in any task that involved lifting or straining. At first, I found his protectiveness endearing, although it did take some time for me to adapt to this new dynamic.Every morning, AJ would bring me a tray filled with a freshly brewed cup of herbal tea and a simple yet nutritious breakfast. He believed that it was important for me to start the day with a nourishing meal that would provide me with the energy I needed. As I enjoyed my breakfast in bed, he would sit next to me
My Mate.....The Nerd 20. AJ
It had been a whirlwind two months since MoonLit Haven became an official pack. In that time, my mate had seamlessly adjusted to his role as the second or alpha, or what others may say as Luna, effortlessly guiding and supporting our pack. Although we were a small group consisting of Ajax and me, along with Dillon and Jake, Jasmine, Axel, Gustin, and Jensen, we were determined to expand our family. Today, as Ajax and Jake went to visit his parents and siblings, we continued our work of building new homes in our vast land.As we labored under the bright sun, Jasmine's pondering question hung in the air, filling it with anticipation. "Do you think we'll get more people to join the pack?" she asked, her eyes filled with hope. I paused for a moment, contemplating her words and allowing my gaze to meet hers. The gleam of optimism in my eyes must have been evident, for I responded with unwavering determination, "Yes, Jasmine. I believe that more wolves will find their place amongst us. Moo
My Mate.....The Nerd 19. Ajax
And it's official," Mama said, his eyes twinkling with pride as he looked at AJ and me. "Your pack is officially called Moonlit Haven." A surge of excitement washed over me as I glanced over at my mate, AJ, whose stunned expression mirrored my own disbelief. For months now, we had been discussing the idea of starting our own pack, and now it seemed like a dream come true.I turned my attention to the parchment paper Mama held, my heart pounding. It was adorned with intricate designs and carefully penned words, detailing the information that Moonlit Haven was now recognized as an official pack. The paper also proudly proclaimed our allies as Savage, King, and Moonlit Oasis packs, a testament to the friendships we had cultivated and the alliances we had formed.AJ's hands trembled as he absorbed the significance of the document. He read it over and over, his disbelief slowly giving way to a growing sense of accomplishment. We were the first pack in Canada to be formed by a rogue wolf, d
