Nothing hurts the most then seeing the person you had come to love more than anything laying limp in the dirt with blood oozing from his wounds and mouth after a fight. The sound of a mighty roar that shook the ground had frozen me in my tracks and I looked through the rear view mirror as two dragons shot to the air and I stepped out to witness the fight only for my heart to sink to my stomach when they both began to fall from the sky. I remember screaming his name as he fell crashing to the dirt floor with a thud, dust rising into the air due to the impact and I didn't think twice before shifting to my wolf form and rushing towards him. I licked his wounds as tears burned in my eyes as he didn't make a sound or moved an inch. Come on Derek I whimpered as he changed from his dragon form to human just like the other man did. Both were covered in cuts, bite marks, scratches and bruises from the fight. Blood was gushing from both but I didn't give a shit about the bastard beside him al
"Derek Johnson" an all to familiar voice said from behind and I looked back to see the one person who knew me inside out aside from Carlos and Connie and my family. Sienna Smith stood in front of me in a beautiful white sundress and barefoot. She wore a flower crown on her golden locks making her look even more stunning then I remember her to be. Her ice blue eyes sparkled in the sun making them brighter than ever before."Sienna" I whispered as I felt a knot form in my throat as tears burned in my eyes and she gave me a small smile waking towards me before choosing my face in her small hands and wiping the lone tear away"Shh, Derek. I know you've been blaming yourself for my death because my idiotic brothers blamed you but I never blamed you for anything. You did what you could to keep me alive. You gave me the best years I could ever ask for. You made me the happiest girl in the world for those two years we were together and those moments I carry them with me forever." She said as
It's been three weeks since the whole accident happened and today Derek was finally getting discharged from the infirmary and I couldn't wait to see him once I got home. It felt like an eternity until the bell finally rang signaling the end of class and school. I grabbed my stuff and practically ran it of the room with Jack and Everly having to run to catch up to me since I was already in the parking lot and about to get in my car"Dude call down" Jack chucked once he and Everly caught up with me and I gave them a sheepish grin "Give him a break J. You would be the same if you found your mate and they were hurt and in the infirmary and today being the day they get discharged from said place" Everly said coming to my defense as they both climbed in with Everly taking the front seat and Jack the back all while grumbling about him wanting to be in the front seat "You already drove front seat on the way to school stop complaining" Everly said as I started the car before pulling out of
I woke up feeling a heavily weight on my chest and looked down to see a sleeping Beau and couldn't help but smile at his peaceful look. He looked like a small child at the way he scrunched his nose and his eyes twitched every once in a while. I never imagined meeting my mate when I moved to Canada and didn't think just how much they would mean to me until I met him on my first day of school a few weeks ago. So much has happened in that time span that I sometimes wonder if moving here was a good idea.I never imagined that my past would ever find me and try to hurt the people that I've come to care so deeply about specially Beau. David and Rocco and their hunger for revenge only led to blood shed and pain for their family and in the end their mates also paid the price for wanting to avenge their deaths. Had those two listened to the news with an open mind none of this would've had happened but in the end, their plan to tear me apart by hurting my mate was futile as they died at my hand
The sun shone brightly through my open window and I groaned as the light hit my closed lids and I felt the bed beneath me shake and I frowned blinking my eyes open seeing bald underneath before lifting my head to find Derek staring down at me with an amused look in his face and I rolled my eyes before laying my head black on his chest and closing eyes and he chuckled wrapping his arms around me before he pulled back making me huff and open my eyes to look up at him and he raised a brow "Why do you hate me so much?" I asked and he shook his head pushing me back so I got off him and I sighed and laid on my back as I felt he bed shift"I don't hate you babe. But it's time to get up, we've got about half an hour to get ready for school" he said and I tossed the covers over me but he pulled them away and I glared up at him "It's too early to be awake Derek" I whined and he just smiled shrugging his shoulders "Sorry babe, come on get up" he said taking hold of my hands and pulling me u
I woke up to the sound of screams and the scent of smoke. My eyes opened and I looked to my side to see Beau standing by the window with his fist clenched at his sides and I could feel his anger and fear wafting off of him like waves and quickly climbed out of bed and stood behind him "They're back" he said his back to me but his eyes focused on the woods where smoke was slowly drifting into the sky and I felt Drago pace in my head wanting out and find the bastards that had set fire to Beau's territory and shred them to pieces. "They won't hurt this pack again, I promise you, Beau"I murmured pulling him against me and he nodded before turning around in my arms and looking up at me with eyes filled with so many emotions that it pierced me to the bone and I lifted my hand and cupped his cheek before leaning down presos four foreheads together, "I won't let what happened five years ago happen again." "I know" he murmured closing his eyes as he held onto my sides "Now go do your alpha
When Derek and I entered the cells that held the three hunters, I expected to find three battered and screaming men wanting to get out and kill but that wasn't what greeted us. Instead of three men wanting to kill us we found three young boys shaking and whimpering as they huddled together in a corner of the room. I looked at Derek who looked just as confused as I was. My parents didn't tell us that we were going to be speaking with children and not adults."Why weren't we informed that they were children and not adults?" I asked uncle Benson as we stood back watching the kids trembling "I wasn't informed either Beau. I was just told that we had three hunters in the cells waiting for you. Your parent will be here soon to listen to what they have to say as well" Uncle Benson replied and just as he finished answering my question, the doors that led to the cells opened and my parents were waking down the corridors and I sighed nodding my head to my uncle before Derek and I walked in "R
"Hey" I whispered and Beau looked up at the sound of my voice and gave me a tired smile "Hey" He murmured back before looking back down at the youngest of the three young hunters, Parker, who was fast asleep much like his brothers around Beau on his bed. Beau had killed their father in revenge for Maribel's death. I had seen him marching to the holding cells but nothing else since I was preoccupied keeping the hunters hiding in the woods away from the pack. The scent of burning flesh and agonizing screams filled the other wise quiet woods. I could see Ryker and Preston fighting off the few hunters that had managed to get by without being burnt alive and kill them off one by one by ripping them to shreds. The field was covered in blood by the end of the useless fight. I could see Beau exiting the cells with a struggling male who begged my mate to let him go. That he'll never attack us if Beau would just let him go but Beau wasn't having it. Instead he pushed the man towards Maribel'
*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
