"Whats going on?" I asked two days later and Beau pointed outside towards the yard and I frowned but looked over and saw Ryker and Preston talking with a group of men and women in the yard with their adopted sons beside them"Who are they?" I asked "The Beta and third in command of RedForest" I looked behind at the sound of a new voice and saw Mattie who was glaring daggers at the group outside "Why are they here?" Beau asked his uncle who sighed and looked down at Beau who was cradling a sleeping Parker and I noticed Justin and Elijah were no where to be seen and looked at my mate with a raised brow"Where are the other two?""In the play room with Ajax and the other kids" he replied and I nodded "So why are the Beta and Third from RedForest here" I questioned again "They came for Reggie and Liam" we all looked up at the sound of Preston's voice and saw him fuming, eyes flashing as he fought to control his wolf, "they fucking think that they can come onto our territory and demand
"CAMERON!"I called when I saw Cameron walking towards the woods and Derek stood beside me as we waited for him to turn around to face us "What are you going to do when you go back to England?" Derek asked and Cameron looked over his shoulder with a smirk "What I should've done a long time ago" he replied and before we could ask him anything else he was shifting into his wolf form and running into the woods and in the distance we heard him howl before it went silent again. I looked up when I felt a breeze and saw a beautiful dragon in the sky. She was breathtaking. This was the first time I've ever seen her in this form, hell on any of her forms since she's not one to shift. Her dragon was a gorgeous assortment of colors from hazel to topaz to gold. Her scales shimmered like diamonds from the sun hitting them. It was something I'll never get used to seeing since Derek likes shifting to his dragon form a lot more than he does his other forms. >Do not attack a wolf that just ran off.
"So any word from Cameron?" I asked Connie who was looking down at her phone and she shook her head with a frown"He said he would call me as soon as he arrived in England but it's been almost a whole week since he left and nothing" she replied and I nodded and I knew she was worried about him. The alpha was a ruthless bastard from what Ryker and Preston have told me about him the day after we met Liam and Reggie in the cellars. He told me that Sage Smith was nothing but a dictator that didn't give a fuck about who he harmed as long as he got what he wanted and knowing that, it worried not just me but everyone else for Cameron and his son's safety. I couldn't bring myself to voice my thoughts to Connie in fear that she'll do something stupid like fly out to England in her condition just to be with Cameron. "I'm sure he's just busy Connie" I said and she frowned before sighing and nodding "Maybe you're right" "Why don't you go rest? You've been stressing a lot and you know what Dec
Everything happened so fast that I didn't even get time to process the fact that Papa knew these people from the way he had reacted. The leader of the coven lowered her hood to reveal a stunning woman with dark hair and skin as white as snow. I watched her raise her hand and speak in a strange language which had Zelios moving forward to stand in front of her."What did you do to him?" Derek snarled as he stood in front of me in human form "Just put him under a spell, he was that easy to manipulate" the woman said with a smirk twisting her fingers "He's done nothing to you" Papa growled "Oh I know. I'm using him to destroy your little pack" The woman said chanting and her followers soon joined her and I could see Zelios shaking as he began to snap and snarl at us >GO INSIDE BEAU
I frowned watching as Ajax sniffed and looked around the yard before bolting into the woods as if he smelt something alluring. I went to follow him but a hand grabbed me making me look over my shoulder to see Ryker looking out the window in the direction that Ajax had gone in a few moments ago."Don't. There is a reason why my son ran off that way, Derek" he said making me frown "Isn't it dangerous for him to be out there after the witches and rogues attacking?" I asked but he shook his head "There hasn't been any more sighting of any witches or rogues since last month's attack. You should know that by now seeing as you and Beau have doubled patrol and there hasn't been any word from the teams on each border about rogues or any other creature for the matter at the borders" he replied and I sighed nodding"Do you think he may have found his mate?" I asked "Nothing would make Preston and I happier than knowing our son had found his mate, Derek" he answered and I looked back out the w
"Ready A?" Papa asked as we gathered in the woods and I looked over at my brother who nodded though he looked hurt and pained. I grabbed his hand a gave it a gentle squeeze letting him know that we were all here for him and he looked over and gave me a soft smile squeezing my hand. Even though most people with Down syndrome don't usually communicate or show emotion, Ajax was different. When he was hurt he cried, when he was happy he laughs and dances around and when he's angry he throws things and hit his head or when he's mad at someone he won't talk to them until they apologized for whatever they had done to get him mad. Ajax is a very open when it comes to his emotions hence why I knew he was scared and hurt.I stood back with the rest of the family and Ashton's siblings as both Ajax and Ashton walked to the center of the clearing standing in front of my parents. "Lift up your left hand" papa instructed and both lifted their hands and flinched when Papa sliced their palm and the
"Hey" I grabbed the punching bag as it flung back at me and looked over to the door and saw one of AJ's friends standing in the doorway and nodded "Hey" "Um do you know where AJ went? I haven't seen him for the past couple hours" he said and I nodded "He's with Ajax. He's showing him and the others around the territory" I replied and he nodded"I don't see why he would do that since AJ has already made his mind up about leaving Canada" he muttered and I raised a brow "My brother in law likes showing people around and I'm pretty sure AJ wouldn't leave Ajax" I told Dillon who shrugged "Then he should leave him behind it's not like he's anything special. He's not a normal person like us. He got a deformity" Dillon replied and I clenched my jaw "I'm not forcing you or anyone for that matter to remain here, Dillon. If you wish to continue our journey to California you're more than welcomed to leave" Dillon froze as his eyes widened hearing AJ's voice and turned around to find his fri
*3 years later*"AHHH!" I jumped at the sound of a scream and ran down the hall towards the living room where I found Ashton withering on the ground as sweat covered his face and Benson along with a few other guys stood back and watched with wide eyes as Cameron and Dillon held him down."What's going on in here?" I asked making them look up at me"We don't know Alpha Beau. He was fine a moment ago" Benson replied. He was a good looking guy with soft caramel skin, full lips, black curly hair he always cropped and green eyes. He's one of the many patrol members and became friends with Ashton shortly after he arrived here with his siblings. "What happened?" Ashton asked a few moments later as he laid panting on the ground with Cameron and the others watching him with worried eyes "What do you mean what happened? You were just screaming fucking bloody murder" Cameron said with a frown looking down at his brother who furrowed his brows before sitting up rubbing his face, "and this isn't
*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
