"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
I stood outside of the hospital room as doctors and nurses tried to get Jessie's heart starting again. I paced the hall as my heart raced in my chest, tears blurred my eyes as the ticking of the clock only made my nerves race throughout my body."Princeton, please sit down your making me nervous" my Mom's voice called but his voice went unheard as I continued to pace the hall. I only looked up when the doors to Jessie's room burst open and Dr. Mel came out."Is he, is he really gone?" I asked my voice cracking with each word and she shook her head making me let out the breath I've been holding for the past 15 minutes "He's actually waiting for you" she said making me blink and she gave me a smile that had me grinning or an idiot before side stepping her and entering the room where sure enough, Jessie was wide awake, sitting on the bed looking out the window only to look at the door when I entered. I felt my knees wobble as I walked towards the bed before pulling in into my arms as I
I smiled as the sun began rising in the horizon. Birds chirped in the trees. A gentle breeze blew by making me close my eyes. I felt a presence beside me and opened my eyes. My dad and Princeton's grandparents stood beside me with a smiles. "He's coming" Benny said as he looked over to the left and sure enough, the familiar figure of the man I loved walked through the trees with his wolf beside him. I felt the familiar tears sting my eyes as I watched him walk closer. 17 years of being apart had been the hardest moments of my like. Yes, I wish he had stayed back. Stayed to watch Preston marry his mate and have a family of his own but a selfish part of me wanted him here with me."Princeton" I murmured running to him and jumping into his awaiting arms and he tightened his hold on me as he hid his face in the crook of my neck, tears hitting my skin and I let my own fall against his."God I fucking missed you so much" he murmured, voice muffled against my neck"I missed you too, so da
The sun shining through my half opened curtains woke me from my slumber minutes before my alarm was to go off and whined pulling the covers over my head. My head was killing me. My eyes were burning and I could feel my throat closing. My ached. Everything hurt and there was no reason for that considering I wasn't at training last night. God, I could feel myself sweating.A soft whimper left my lips as the pain increased and it didn't help anything when my bedroom door was slammed open"Pres?" The familiar sound of my dad's concerned voice echoed in the room making the pain increase "Hurts" I whimpered and I felt the bed dip before the covers were pulled of and our eyes locked, his eyes were filled with concern as his hand came to touch my forehead "You're burning" he murmured and I swallowed the lump in my throat and winced at the soreness there and I coughed, "You're not going to school. I'm going to make you some tea and soup. Don't get up" I nodded as I buried myself under my co
I watch as he stands in the middle of the hard, face facing away from me. I stalk towards him silently and watch as his ears perk up before his face turns towards me. I smirk at him as I continue to walk closer tilting my ear to the left. I change by angle by two feet, I watch as he turns his body to the left. His head faces away from me and that last just what I was waiting for. I don't waste time and lift my leg up and send my foot flying towards his face. He stumbles back at the last second. My arm shoots forward and quickly grab him by the neck before I slam him to the hard ground making him groan at the impact. I lift his head and expose his neck."You just died" I whisper in his ear making him groan. I push off him and stand. I look down as he slowly gets back to his feet. He takes a couple steps back and gets in a defensive stance. I scan him posture and find two ways to him down. I slide my foot forward quickly before kicking the side of his foot, I watch his leg split open qu
Never was the kind to think about dressing in whiteWasn't waiting on a prince to come riding into my lifeThought I was happy on my own'Til you came and proved me wrongI furrowed my brows as I opened my eyes. This pace was not home. It was not my room. I looked around and saw trees as high as the sky, the sun shining like a diamond up in the sky. The sound of birds chirping on the branches mixed in with the gentle voice of the person singing. I took a deep breath and swallowed the knot in my throat before making my way further into this unknown pace. I finally found what I never knew I always wantedI couldn't see, I was blind 'til my eyes were openedI didn't know there was a holeSomething missing in my soul'Til you filled it up with your love, yeahThe voice saw so soft and beautiful yet it held so much pain and heartache. I heard the person curse as their voice cracked at the end of the verse and I bit the inside of my cheek as I listened to them. The sound of a guitar stari
"You think you can cross onto my lands and get away with it?" I snarled at the blood covered rogue who didn't put up a fight since I began interrogating him. We've been in this dark and cold cell for hours and yet he's done nothing to free himself from the chains that were connected to the cement wall "You're more pathetic then I thought" I growled grabbing him by the throat and making him look at me. His eyes, a soft blue with specks of gold, glanced at me and I saw emotions fleet around his eyes as he shook in my grip. There were scars both old and new littering his body. Fresh blood drenched his once white shirt, his jeans were ripped at the knees as his hair was matted on top of his head. "I mean no harm to you or your pack" he said as his voice cracked with each word and I scoffed while Zeb, Jeremy and Enzo laughed behind me but it was humorless laugh that had the hair on your neck standing on end, "I didn't mean to cross onto your territory" "Just kill him already" Zeb said a
*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
