Thinking back to last night when Princeton took me to the beautiful lake with the waterfall had a smile on my face but it quickly went away when I thought back to our talk. I felt exhausted. My body just felt numb. It's been two years since I thought about Emmanuel and what he did to me that it just completely drained me. Princeton's arms had been the only thing keeping me standing. I clenched my eyes shut as the memory of that night kept crossing my mind. I had apologized but he just shook his head saying that I didn't need to be sorry because I didn't do anything wrong and he just held me. And for the first in two years I can finally say that the weight that has held me down has finally lifted of my shoulders and it all it took was a simple question from Princeton to make it happen. Who knew that just hearing Emmanuel's name after two years would be a weightlifter? I sighed and closed my eyes as I relieved that moment. Ever since we met, two weeks ago, Princeton and I have gotten c
I grabbed hold of the bastard by the throat once we were shifted to human and threw him across the woods where he landed on a tree causing it to break under the force and his weight and stalked towards him, I could tell that the pack was near by waiting, watching the scene hidden from view. I snarled at them to keep their distance and they growled back and did as told but they didn't leave. They waited patiently as I stalked my pray as he struggled to get back to his feet, blood pouring down his sides, stomach and chest where I had sunk my claws in. I could hear him struggle to breath as his heart hammered in his chest. He lifted his head as I approached and staggered back as he begged me to let him live. To let him go. To stop. He was shaking and begging but I sneered at him."Did you fucking stop when Jessie begged you to? Did you fucking let him go when he asked you to? Did you fucking stop when Jessie was crying for you to stop the pain you were causing him? The answer is no. No
I woke up to the sun shining down on me threw my open window and groaned. I opened my eyes looking around the room to see the time only to realize that I was not in my room but Princeton's. Why was I in here? My eyes felt heavy and puffy which made me remember what had happened. Where was he? Shaking my head to get of the sleep, I climbed out of the bed and made my way to the built in bathroom to wash my face and grimaced when I saw my reflection. My hair was all over the place and my face was red and blotchy from crying. God I act like a pubescent teenage girl on her period. I sighed and quickly dried my face before leaving both the bathroom and room,closing the door behind me. I crept down the stairs and jumped when I heard glass shattering in the kitchen and Nick and Bella's gasps of shock. I ran to the room only to see Morgan in his wolf form getting ready to attacking Princeton who was on his feet yards away from my friend. His body was shaking and his hands were balled at his s
Jessie and I were laying on my bed watching Grey's Anatomy when out of the sudden Marc's voice filtered through the pack link ordering the pack to get the women, children and elderly into the safe room including Jessie and his siblings and I stiffened when he said rogues were closing in on the pack. I cursed and Jessie looked up with a frown"What's wrong?" He asked as he watched me get out of bed and put on my shoes and throw on a shirt "Rogues. Come on let's get your siblings" I said and he widened his eyes before scampering of the bed and putting his shoes on and followed after me as I went down the hall towards Jenna and Jericho's rooms whiles Jessie went to get Josh and Julianna from theirs. "What's going on?" Jericho asked as he held Jenna's hand and followed me towards the stairs where Jessie was already heading down. Josh held his arms up for me to pick him up and I did and carried him down the stairs towards the safe room. Papa was standing at the door waiting for more peop
"There has to be a reason why we've been attacked twice in a span of five weeks" Princeton said as we all stood outside in the freezing cold. It's been four days since the attacking and since Princeton was almost killed because of it. His injuries had healed completely by yesterday which I was happy about. I hated to see him in that hospital bed with wires hooked up to him, the only thing letting me know he was still alive had been the heart monitor beeping constantly and the fall and rise of his chest and he breathed. "And a reason why they targeted Princeton" Marc added and there were murmured and growls all around the yard at the mention of Princeton and getting severely injure a few days ago. My grip on Princeton's hand tightened making him look down and pull me closer kissing my temple."Training and patrol will be increased until we figure out why rogues are attacking and why they're targeting Princeton" Marc added before dismissing the meeting and I was beyond glad because I w
"I want to complete the mate bond" Jessie said making my head snap up to him as he stood in my doorway, chewing at his bottom lip and I blinked. I sat my book down on the table and pushed away from my desk and beckoned him over and he bit his bottom lip but turned around and closed the door behind him. I could hear the soft sound of the lock turning into place before he walked over to me and climbed onto my lap."I don't want you to say that just because of what happened two weeks ago, Jessie. I want you to take your time" I murmured but he shook his head "I know I'm afraid to do anything sexual with you but I want to. I want you in every way shape and form, Princeton and it's not just because of what happened but because I want to. I want you and that's the tea" he said with a cheeky grin making me laugh. He was ridiculous sometimes but god did I love this guy."God I want you so bad, Jessie but I want our first time to be special" I whispered and he nodded with a pout "I don't wan
"Do you have everything?" Princeton asked as he carried the last of the suitcases to the awaiting car and I nodded. With one final glance at the house, I followed him out to the front where my siblings were already waiting in the car. "I don't want to go" I whined looking up at Princeton and he chuckled leaning down and rubbing his nose on my neck make me gasp as he skimmed over my mark and felt him smile against my skin"We can come back during the summer just you and me" he murmured, voice husky making body shiver at the suggestion and I nodded "Now let's get home, you have classes to get back to" he said pulling back and holding the door open for me to climb in and I groaned at his reminder. The drive to the pier was short and before I knew it, we were once again boarding the boat they had brought us to the island from the airport. The sun was shining brightly in the sky, birds were flying over head, seagulls squawking in the distance. "Big brother look" Jenna yelled and I looke
"What did you say?" I asked looking at Jessie who looked like a dear caught in the headlights. His heart beat was beating rapidly in his chest with his eyes wide."Um, I'm pregnant?" He stuttered though the answer came out more of a question then anything and I stared at him with wide eyes before blinking and a smile took over before I was practically running across the room and picking him up "Really?" I asked looking up at him as he bit his bottom lip, hands cupping the back of my head and legs wrapped around my waist "I think so. I mean I've been having dizzy spells and feeling nauseous. I took a test and it said positive but I have to go see the doctor to make sure" he murmured and I nodded"I'll link the doctor and see if she's busy" I said and he nodded biting his bottom lip, "don't be nervous Love, it's not as if I'm going to leave you or anything just because you're carrying out baby" "I just don't want you to feel obligated to be with me if you don't want too" he murmured
*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
