Two weeks. That's how long it's been since Jericho fell into a coma. Two weeks of constantly wondering if he'll wake up and hoping that he'll wake up. Two weeks of watching the heart monitor beep and the ventilator pump air into his lungs. Two weeks of watching his chest rise and fall with each pump of air. Two weeks of watching his eyes closed with no signs of opening. Two weeks of knowing that the person who donated his heart was a fallen soldier who died during combat. Two weeks of knowing the family he left behind. In those two weeks, Princeton and I have become great friends with Staff Sargent Eric Ramos, a 21 year old energetic and talented man with a heart of gold that always put those he cares for before his own needs. His fiancée, a beautiful young girl with platinum blond hair and hazel green eyes told us about Eric and the way he was before and after the army.

Elizabeth, Eric's fiancée was five months pregnant with their second child when news struck about his death. I had

    "Mama why do you keep looking at Ellie like that?" I asked as I watched him stare at the girl across the room with a strange look in his eyes, something that he's never done before."There's something about that girl that seems familiar, but I can't put my finger on it" he replied as his eyes were trained on her. Ellie was currently laughing at something Jessie said and I couldn't help but smile at the happiness radiating from her after everything she's been through she deserves a little bit of happiness."What do you mean?" I asked turning my attention back to him and he sighed "It feels like I know her from somewhere or seen her somewhere I just can't-" he began to say before cutting himself off and a look of recognition dawned over him making me furrow my brows "Ma?" I asked and he blinked shaking his head"I can't believe it's really her" he whispered "What are you talking about mom?" Bella asked now noticing his strange reaction, Papa and my grandparents walked over as well al

    We left the infirmary after Dr. Mel checked Jericho to make sure how his body was reacting to the new heart and after getting the all clear, we headed back to the main house only to stop short when we saw a familiar car driving up the driveway. I looked at Princeton to see his face blank meaning he was communicating with the the pack to let them know there was a human coming up the drive and to be careful to not shift in front of her. Lucas and Caleb soon came out to greet us and stood beside us as we waited for Elizabeth's black Range Rover drove up the dirt path before parking in the driveway next to Princeton's car and getting out once she had turned the engine off"Why is she here?" Princeton asked looking at the four of us but we shook our heads "We didn't invite her" his parents said "Neither did I. Hell I didn't ever tell her our address or where we lived" I said with confusion in my voice. And from the looks of it, they were equally confused only to let out a growl when they

    The last thing I wanted after finding out that Jessie and I were expecting a son was to be attack just three days later. And the last thing I expected was to see Ellie with a gun filled with wolfsbane surrounded by a group of hunters. The same people that nearly killed my parents six years ago. Ellie, the same girl that had been at our side as we waited patiently for any signs that told us that Jericho would be okay a month ago. The same person who Jessie saw as a friend, someone who could confide in and someone that would be there for him if I wasn't. It was as if everything had slowed down the second I saw her getting it of her car and walking to the back only to come out holding a gun towards us while hunters began emerging from the surrounding area of the woods.Hours passed by before the fight was finally over and I had gone to get Jessie and the kids from the safe room while Marc and Molly took Ellie to the interrogating room to get answers. But like Alexa said, Ellie's scent wa

    Once we had all left the office and were downstairs, Princeton, Alexa and Marc joined the others outside in the yard while Ellie and I went to the living room to speak. Her son, Elijah quickly matched onto her legs when we entered making her chuckle "Sorry for taking to long, sweetie" she said picking him up before placing him on her lap once she sat down "How have you been doing Ellie?" I asked as I placed a hand on my belly felling the baby move which had me smiling"Moving?" She asked with a smile and I nodded, "She moves a lot as well," her hand placed on her stomach a sad smile taking over her face as she remembers her fiancé not being present when their daughter is born."I keep telling Princeton that our son is going to be a handful when he's older since he moves so much and doesn't let me rest for a second" I said rubbing my belly making her hum"That's what I told Erick when I was pregnant with Elijah. He moved a lot as well and he's always on the move. Never staying in one

    Marc had officially announced Ellie, Elijah, and Jaime as members of the pack two weeks ago and the pack had, at first been against having Jaime be an equal to them considering it had been her plan to attack the pack along side the hunters three weeks prior but after hearing and witnessing the pain and the betrayal from her former mate Ray, they bowed to defend them and protect them as if they were their own flesh and blood.Two days ago Jessie had suffered some severe pains and bleeding that he was put on bed rest. Dr. Mel said that due to him being close to his due date that the baby will want to come out soon rather than wait. So as of now, he was on bed watching one of his favorite tv shows, Law and Order: SVU. He's obsessed with that show. He can literally watch it 24/7 if he could. School was also almost out which meant that Jessie will be graduating as well. Nine was just 4 weeks away. It's crazy to think how fast time has passed. Ellie was due around this time.

    "Hey" I looked up at the kind of Ellie's voice to find her standing in the doorway and I smiled waving her in"Hey," I greets her back as she walked in and closed the door behind her before taking a seat on the small loveseat placed by the bed for when I get tired of being in bed all the time, "What's up?""Came to see how you were doing since being out in bed rest" she replied and I nodded "I've been okay, bored out of my damn mind most of the time when I get sick of watching tv, what about you? How have you been? How's the baby doing?" I asked and she smiled rubbing her bump"She's been moving a lot lately and I just came from seeing Dr. Mel, she said that she'll be coming soon. Maybe in a week or so" Ellie replied making me smile"That's great, Ellie, have you picked names yet?" I said and she nodded a soft look covering her features and I could only imagine she was thinking about her fiancé and parents."I was thinking of combining my parents name and Erick's name but I haven't f

    "Come back to me baby, please come back to me" I whispered holding onto Jessie's soft yet cold hand as his chest rose and fell with each pump of air the ventilator pumped into his body. He lay motionless in the bed. The second I had crossed the border back to the pack house when Haynes contacted me about being attacked I knew something had gone wrong. Something didn't feel right. I ran into the house, something told me to run downstairs to the safe room, the to had to be there. So I ran. I ran as fast as I could with my chest rising and falling with fear. My head was filled with questions as to why I wasn't helping, why I was running away but ignored them. The pack was strong. We had the Levine pack at our side fighting so it didn't matter if I was there or not. I shifted my human form and slammed the steel door open making everyone in the room jump, but my sole focus was on the unmoving male across the room. Blood was everywhere. Ellie was sobbing in a corner with Gavin holding her,

    There was a bright light all around me. The further I walked, the warmer and safer I felt. There was a alert of me that said to turn around and go back the way I came back but another part told me to keep going g. That there was something, someone waiting for me. The sound of birds singing above on the tree branches reached my ears as the son did animals of all sizes scurried away. The soft melody of water rushes further into the woods gave a calming feel to the scene around me. Everything was so bright and cheerful that it made me wonder where I was. I knew as much that I wasn't home, that I wasn't in the pack Josie surrounded by the pack and the family. That I wasn't with Princeton and our unborn son. That I wasn't with the kids, that I wasn't holding Julianna and Josh on my lap. That I wasn't hugging and kissing Jericho and Jenna as they came home from school. No this scene was different. "hello?" I called out as I walked further and deeper into the woods. My voice echoed throug

  • 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

    *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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
