My Mate's Wedding Drama Chapter 84: Return to Blue Moon
(Jason POV)I am in the beta suite living room, going over my investigation notes for the hundredth time. (Even though I am not serving as Beta, Aaron decided not to evict me until a final decision is made about my future in the pack. My parents, however, have already moved to their “forever” house about five minutes away.)I am getting more and more frustrated. Pieces of the puzzle just do not fit together. Who is Paige’s stalker? Who would have the time and resources to pursue Paige for four years? Who would harbor that much anger against her?I have not gone to see Harvey yet, but I did reach out to a friend of mine in his new pack. He told me that Harvey did in fact transfer to their pack to be with his mate, but soon thereafter he was sentenced to five years in their dungeons because he was caught assaulting a different she-wolf. Unless Harvey has someone working for him —who he is able to direct from a dungeon cell— that pretty much takes Harvey out of the running.I rea

(Cassie POV) I sat down on the floor next to Aaron and Theo. Watching Aaron play with Theo made me smile… although not enough to want a pup of my own just yet. Aaron and I had agreed to wait a couple more years before trying for a family. As Theo went to the other side of the room driving his two toy trucks around, I opened the mind-link with Aaron. “Do you think Jason is going to tell Paige about Theo?” I asked. “Eventually, yes. But first he is going to let her find out in the world’s worst way,” Aaron replied. “I hope you are wrong.” “I know that I’m not.” “Jason really has changed, though,” I protested. “He is so different than he used to be.” “I actually agree with you about that. But I also know that he has proven himself to be an idiot time and time again. And you should never underestimate a leopard’s ability to reveal his spots.” I sighed. We watched as Theo “crashed” one of his trucks into one of Aaron’s legs. Aaron feigned injury, causing Theo to laugh. “D

(Aaron POV)When I woke up on Saturday morning, I fully expected that the day would involve yelling, crying, slamming doors, and fireworks. However, I expected those things to happen because of Jason’s stupidity. I never expected that any of those things would be coming from my own suite, or that they would happen because of fight that I had with my own mate.I should preface this story by explaining that Cassie had been irritable for the last couple of weeks, but not so much that I was worried. One of the many things that I love about Cassie is that —unlike many other she-wolves— she does not feel compelled to put on a fake smile or hide her emotions. Instead, she tends to wear her emotions on her sleeve, whether they are good, bad, or ugly. That means that I always know where I stand with her. Thankfully, I am usually on her good side. We very rarely fight about anything serious, and being with her has easily been the best year of my entire life.Today, though… man…. Today wa

(Cassie POV) The moment that Aaron stepped into our suite, I knew that he was irritated about my choice of outfit. Instead of a mostly modest black dress, I was wearing a black negligée that exposed almost everything, a tight leather skirt, and 4-inch stiletto heels. I was also wearing a black studded choker around my neck. Aaron looked between me and Paige, and rubbed his neck and shoulder as though he was uncomfortable. “Sweetheart,” he said hesitantly, “I am assuming you still have to put your shirt on?” I smiled at him innocently, as though I had no idea that my “top” left nothing to the imagination. “What do you mean?” I asked, pointing to my negligee. “This is my shirt.” I watched as Aaron battled with his wolf, and as he struggled with what to say next. “Sweetheart, can we talk about this in private?” he asked via mind-link. “My love,” I responded out loud, so that Paige could hear, “Paige and I were just talking about how male wolves can be… a little bit nutty when

(Paige POV) When Cassie joins Josephine and I in our SUV, I cannot help but chuckle at the way that she is dressed. “Hmmmm. I guess I know who won that fight,” I tease her. “Only because that man plays dirty,” Cassie groans. She tells Josephine and I what happened after everyone was kicked out of the packhouse. By the end of Cassie’s story, Josephine and I are rolling over in laughter. “I need to figure out a version of that to do to Blake,” Josephine says smiling. “It’s good to keep these Wagner males on their toes.” “Do I even want to know why you had those nipple tassles in your closet to begin with?” I ask. Cassie gives me a mischievous smile and laughs. “No, you probably don’t.” As our SUV pulls away from the packhouse, I briefly lock eyes with Jason. Suddenly, my laughter dies, and I feel my stomach start to hurt as a tear threatens to run down my cheek. Cassie and Josephine both catch the change in my facial expression. They each take one of my hands. “It’s goi
Last Updated : 2023-07-16My Mate's Wedding Drama Chapter 89: Jason's Heir
(Paige POV) My heart drops. I was right. Jason’s heir is living at the packhouse. I can only assume the mother is here as well; if not, she is nearby. Does Theo’s mom know about me? What does she think? Is she scared that Jason is going to abandon her, just like Sarah’s baby daddy abandoned her? What does Jason want? What has he told her that he wants? Did last night mean anything? Was last night just a "last hurrah" before we go through the rejection process? Or does he think there is a way to have me, Theo, and Theo’s mom at the same time? No, surely Jason does not think that. That would be unfair to all three of us. Cassie told me that Jason only has eyes for me. Jason pretty much said the same thing last night. I am his mate, so I guess would make sense that he feels that way. At the same time, you can want one person and feel compelled to make it work with another. Maybe that is what is going on here. Jason snaps me out of my blurry of thoughts by touching me o

(Paige POV)I quickly put on my wig and glasses and headed upstairs to the alpha suite. I tried to act calm, but inside I was feeling frantic. Aaron is the one who answered the door, but I could not say anything when he did. Thankfully, Cassie came up just behind him. I immediately ran to her and collapsed in tears in her arms.“He told you,” she whispered.“Yes,” I said through sobs.She led me to the couch, where we both sat down. Cassie held me as I continued to break down. Aaron hovered awkwardly nearby, clearly not wanting to interrupt us but nevertheless wanting to be available for support if needed.“What are you going to do?” she asked.“I have to let him go,” I responded.I noticed Cassie look up at Aaron with sadness in her eyes.“Are you sure?” she whispered. “Is that what you really want?”“No, it isn’t what I want at all. But I support Jason’s choice, and I think it is the right thing to do. Theo deserves to grow up with both of his parents in his life.”Cassi
Last Updated : 2023-07-19My Mate's Wedding Drama Chapter 91: The Bachelorette Party
(Cassie POV) Paige keeps talking about rejecting Jason, but I am not convinced that rejecting him is the right thing for her to do. As someone who rejected her first mate —and Jason specifically— I see many differences between our two situations. For one thing, it is obvious that Jason, Paige, and their wolves have established a strong connection. They care deeply about each other, and their wolves are weaker when they are apart. For another thing, I have personally watched both of them grow up and change over the past several months. I have to believe that the changes have a lot to do with the fact that they have been paired together. Paige is being forced to confront her insecurities and past trauma, and Jason is having to control his emotions, learn to prioritize others, and be open to new ways of thinking. Now, I have to admit that I do not know why the Moon Goddess thought it was a good idea to pair Paige with the wolf who impregnated and abandoned her friend. That defi

My Mate's Wedding Drama Author's Note
And that is a wrap! I hope you all have enjoyed the journey. I will definitely miss these characters. They definitely took on personalities of their own as we went along. I cannot tell you how many times I sat down planning to write one thing, only to find the characters demanding we go a different direction. Thankfully, we will still get glimpses of the key characters in Book 2, which will focus on the Moon Goddess's decision to pair Maggie and Alpha Paul. That book will also pick up where this book left off, in terms of Bobby and the Moonlight Six. I plan to start Book 2 in a few weeks, after I take some time off for a couple of family vacations. Thank you all for reading!!! If you have enjoyed the journey, please leave a gem and/or positive review!
My Mate's Wedding Drama Epilogue
(2 ½ months later)(Jason POV)The last few months have been an absolute whirlwind, but I can honestly say that I have never been happier.After our big fight the night of Duncan and Moira’s cake-tasting, Paige and I stayed up for hours talking… and fighting… and making up again. We realized that we both like to be challenged, and once we both agreed to take rejection completely off the table, we found that we are really good at being one another’s “safe place” to have heated or difficult conversations.Instead of Theo flying out to Texas, Paige decided that we should go back to Blue Moon together. She arranged for other wedding planners to handle all of her Texas weddings except for Moira and Duncan’s. She understandably wanted to keep their wedding, but everything left to do could be done remotely until the weekend of the wedding itself. Once we are a bit more settled, she plans to open a part-time wedding planning business just outside Blue Moon territory.... at which she wil
My Mate's Wedding Drama Chapter 109: My Idiot
(Paige POV) Neither Jason nor I said anything to each other on the way home from the bakery. It was just as well. Thankfully, Moira did not seem angry about Duncan and Jason leaving… and we were able to successfully pick flavors for their wedding cake… but the whole thing was still embarrassing and unprofessional. The moment we walked into my apartment, Jason headed to the kitchen. He peeked inside the refrigerator and calmly asked me what I wanted to eat for dinner. “Really? That is the first thing that you are going to say to me? Not ‘I’m sorry for embarrassing you,’ or ‘I’m sorry for having my head up my a— since you got back’ or ‘How did the rest of your tasting go? I hope I didn’t cost you a couple of clients.’ Hell, at this point, I’d even take ‘Hey, Baby, I’m craving tacos, does that sound good to you?’” “Why do I feel like you are itching for a fight, Paige?” “Maybe because I am, Jason! I cannot live this way anymore!!!” Jason turned around and glared at me. “Liv
My Mate's Wedding Drama Chapter 108: Jason & Duncan
(Paige POV)So it turns out that Jason not only upgraded my flight to first-class… he booked himself a ticket as well. Jason explained that he had decided that he was going to go where I went for the rest of my life… or until I rejected him for the third and final time. He also told me that his plan was for Theo to stay with Jason’s parents for the first couple of weeks, and then —if I had not kicked him out yet— Theo would come and join us.But for everything else, I probably would have found Jason’s decision to come to Texas with me to be a really sweet gesture.However, over the next week, Jason’s behavior continued to be bizarre. Worse, his constant presence began to feel suffocating and overwhelming. Even Carly, who loved having her mate nearby, was becoming concerned.Among other weird things, Jason:—continued to insist on making me breakfast in bed every. single. day. I could not even grab a piece of toast or a granola bar without Jason freaking out. —refused to disagree
My Mate's Wedding Drama Chapter 107: The De-Brief
(Paige POV) As I get on the airplane, my heart feels heavy. I know that I need to get back to Texas, but even after spending the morning talking to Jason and most of the afternoon de-briefing with everyone else, things still just feel… unsettled. I had hoped that talking to Jason would give me some better insight on our relationship… but more than anything, this morning felt…. awkward. In addition to bizarrely shaving his head and insisting on serving me breakfast in bed, Jason spent almost the entirety of our conversation either apologizing or agreeing with everything that I said. It sort-of felt like I was talking to a wall; the normal, opinionated Jason was not there. As much as the normal, opinionated Jason irritates me at times, I could not help but wonder where he was. I definitely like the normal Jason better than the shell of a wolf that he was this morning. Oh, well. At least if I am going to have a heavy heart on my flight back, I will be comfortable. (Somehow, my
My Mate's Wedding Drama Chapter 106: Big News
(Cassie POV) I wake up to Josephine’s voice in my head. “Cassie, Sweetheart?” I moan. “I am sleeping. What is up, Josephine?” “It is one o’clock the afternoon.” “One in the morning?” I respond back groggily. “No, Sweetheart. It’s the middle of the afternoon.” “That’s not possible,” I groan. “We did not get home until five o’clock.” “Five o’clock yesterday, Baby.” Realization hits me. I must have been more tired than I realized. The last thing I remember was having a hot shower with Aaron, eating more food than I want to admit to eating, having a second round with Aaron in our bed, and then asking Aaron if we could talk after a took a quick nap. Apparently that nap was the longest nap ever. I try to stretch my arms, but one arm hits something hard. I blink open my eyes and see Aaron laying on his side, with one arm supporting his head as he stares at me. He smiles as soon as our eyes meet. “Good morning, Sweetheart,” he says. “Good morning, Aaron,” I smile back at
My Mate's Wedding Drama Chapter 105: Reunion, Part 2
(Paige POV) When we finally made it back to Blue Moon, my emotions were a muddled mess: —I was relieved to be back. —I was happy to be alive and unharmed. —I felt both sad and betrayed about everything involving my sister. —I was horrified about having watched my sister be murdered in front of me. —I was scared and nervous to see Jason again, after having rejected him for the second time less than a week ago. —I was still upset with Jason for having knocked up my best friend. —I was still in shock that Granny Apple played a role in Sarah getting pregnant. Complicating my mess of emotions even more was the reality that I was hungry, dehydrated, and exhausted. When I saw Aaron race from the packhouse to greet Cassie, my heart felt happy for the two of them… and a little jealous too. I could not help but wonder if Jason and I would ever get to that point, or if my happiness —like that of Aaron and Cassie— would be found in the arms of a second chance mate. Carly growled in
My Mate's Wedding Drama Chapter 104: Reunion, Part 1
(Aaron POV) As soon as I heard that Cassie was at the border, I took off running. I shifted into my wolf in order to run faster, not caring that I was shredding my clothes in the process. I did not bother to mind-link anyone; I knew my father would do so. All I cared about was getting to Cassie. I reached Cassie within just a few minutes. I was vaguely aware that Paige, a baby, and a few of our border guards were standing nearby, but no one else mattered to me in that moment. I quickly shifted back to my human form and wrapped Cassie up in my arms. I am not ashamed to admit that —as I clung to her as though my life depended on it— I buried my head in her neck and cried. They were happy tears, but tears all the same. For her part, Cassie clung to me just as much if not more than I clung to her. I could feel her tears on my bare shoulder, so I knew she was crying just like I was. After a couple of minutes, I finally —although reluctantly— pulled away from her just a little bi
My Mate's Wedding Drama Chapter 103: Natalie's Dress
(24 hours earlier)(Cassie POV)“I… I have so many questions,” I tell Bobby after listening to his story.“I do, too,” Paige whispers. I glance at her and can tell that she is in shock. So much of what she has thought and believed for the past several years has been turned upside down in the matter of a single 10-minute conversation. “I’ll answer what I can until Shelly gets here.”“After all Shelly and the Moonlight Six did to you… why are you dating Shelly?”“Keep your friends close; your enemies closer,” Bobby responds as though it is nothing.“Don’t you feel like you are… cheating on your mate?” Paige asks.If my handcuffs would allow it, I would reach over and slap Paige upside the head. Seriously, that was the first question she asked Bobby? I remind myself that she is in shock and going through a lot, but I also chuckle a little bit as I realize Jason would likely have asked the same question.Instead of answering Paige, Bobby growls angrily. Paige seems to realize her
