I looked up at the night sky as the wind blew. The stars winked down upon me as I stood in the yard, before sighing and shifting, shaking my coat, I walked into the woods deciding to take a midnight run to clear my head. It's been a little over three weeks since I last saw Preston and not a day went by that I didn't want to run to him with my tail between my legs and beg for his forgiveness but my pack needed me. We've been getting sighting of rogues around the boarder and the last thing I needed was to leave my pack unprotected even if my beta, gamma and warriors stayed behind to protect them. They were my responsibility as their alpha to keep them safe. Word had gotten around that I found my mate and that he was the son of the former beta, Princeton SaintClaire. How they found it is beyond me but I'll be damned if they think they could attack him to get to me. I'd rather lose my life then know he was harmed. I've made a vow that I would do whatever it took to gain his forgiveness a
The sound of a loud howl in the air woke me up from my slumber with a start and I looked at the time and saw it was almost 6 in the morning. I scrambled out of my bed and ran out of my room. I felt my heart race in my chest as the sounds got louder by the second. I felt my eyes widen when I saw my Dad run it of the house shifting midair before running into the woods followed by the rest of the warriors and Gabe as four wolves ran into the yard. The patrol team. Why the hell were they here and not at the boarder?>Something is wrong PJ, I can't feel ZeusWhat do you mean?"Get inside Preston" papa yelled as the four carried Ryker's body towards the infirmary but I ignored him and followed them "This way Alpha" Dr. Sanders said as they reached the room a few minutes later and they all laid Ryker on the bed before being asked to leave so they could work on saving his life. "What h
I opened my eyes and found myself sitting in the middle of an unfamiliar forest. Trees that touched the sky towered above me shielding me from the sun. I furrowed my brows and slowly stood to my feet before deciding to explore this unfamiliar locationI could hear voices in the distance but couldn't make out what they were saying or who it was. My head snapped to the left when I heard something snapping before feeling my eyes widen when I saw Zeus walking out of the trees. His dark eyes stared at me before tilting his head >I see you're awake"What happened?" I asked and he rolled his eyes with a shake of his head making his fur swing at the action>You went to speak with the SavageKing Alpha to warm him off the rogues attacking only to get denied. You were on your way back to the pack when you heard the rogues running towards the pack house and decided to play hero and fought them off. You were outnumbered and by the time help got there you were already losing too much blood due to
"How long are you going to sit there for?" I heard a voice behind me ask and I looked over to see Elijah, Uncle Gavin and Auntie Elle's eldest son standing in the doorway of the infirmary with a raised brow "Until he wakes up" I murmured. We had came by to see how Ryker was doing after he was transferred to his pack's infirmary a week ago and still there has been no signs of him making any progress. The doctor said that his injuries were healed but it was up to him to wake up and he didn't know when it'll be. "You think you got everybody fooled, don't you?" He asked making me furrow my brows as I looked at him and Elijah just smiled "Not me, I've known you too long (and regrettably too well)" he murmured making me glare at him"I don't love him. How can I after what he put me through? Or did you forget?""I didn't. But if you didn't love him then why are you here? Why do you insist on visiting him everyday and asking if he woke up?" He asked tilting his head to the side before a sm
"You know lying is a sin" Preston said making me look up at him with a raised brow and he rolled his eyes "I know you've slept with other people not just Lou" he stated but I shook my head "He was the only one I've slept with that I know of considering I was under a spell the entire time. I wouldn't be surprised if I had slept with other people without my knowledge" I said and he raised a brow"Aren't you angry? You were put under a spell by god knows how many people just because we're mates" he exclaimed"I am angry. I already sent an order for my trackers to find the witch that Lou had been seeing to get information and find out if other people have gone to them" I said as I leaned against my chair and he nodded "You're awfully calm about it which makes me wonder if you're truly angry" he murmured and I sighed pushing away from my desk before standing up and waking around it to crouch at his side making him look at me with worried eyes "Nothing would mean more to me than go out
"So are you and Ryker together now?" Benson asked as we walked down the corridors of Lakeview high on Monday. The sky was gray with dark clouds hovering in the sky. We're going to have a rain storm soon. "No. We're taking things slow. We still have a lot to work before we even think of getting together" I said as I opened my locker and switched out my Math textbook for my History textbook before closing it again"We want you to be sure about this, PJ. We don't want you to get hurt because of our brother" Luna murmured beside her twin and I gave them a small smile"I know. My siblings and Dad said the same thing last night as well. But I know what I'm doing. We both know we have a lot of work to do so we can move past this whole thing. Did he say anything about finding the witch that cast the spell on him?" I asked as we headed to class. Zaddie and Julianna were already seated in their seats in the back of the room so we walked towards them before taking a seat in front front of them
"How was your date with your mate....hey that rhymed" my third in command aka idiot of a best friend, Enzo, said as he walked beside me on my left side while Madison, my cousin and beta, took my right side. I rolled my eyes as they looked at me with raised brows waiting for me to tell them about my date with Preston but jokes on them, I'm not telling them jack squat."Has there been any sightings of rogues?" I asked instead of telling them anything making them groan"Oh c'mon Rye, can't you just tell us a little bit about it " Madison asked with a pleading look in her blue eyes that matched Enzo's but I kept walking making them speed walk to catch up "What I do on my spare time with my mate is none of your concern. Now, have there been more rogue sightings or not?" I asked turning towards them making them nearly crash at the sudden action"Ugh!" Madison exclaimed throwing her hands in the air in exasperation while Enzo pouted. You'd think that they'd act mature being 22 and 21 but th
"What are you doing up here?" Benson asked with a raised brow as his eyes took in my appearance making me furrow my brows"Uh.....homework?" I answered though it was more of a question making him blink before his eyes locked into the clock on the nightstand and mine follows his before they nearly fell out, "Shit, shit" I cursed jumping out of the bed nearly eating shit had I not caught myself in time. It was almost 6 and that meant Ryker would be coming up to get me soon. Fuck me. "You legit have 30 minuets to get ready" my friend said as if I didn't notice"Can you get Luna to come up here and help me pick out an outfit while I shower?" I asked while walking to the bathroom connected to the guest bedroom"I can pick it out for you" he offered and I gave him a deadpanned expression"You suck as picking out outfits for other people Ben, so please get Luna" I didn't wait for him to reply but I could hear him mumbling and whining on the other side of the door before it was drowned out
*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
