My 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

(Jason POV)As we pulled away from the packhouse so that we could go to Albert’s bachelor party, my eyes locked with those of Paige. I could see her pain and sadness, and it broke my heart even more than her second failed rejection. I felt a single tear roll down my cheek. Without looking away from Paige, I whispered to Blake and Aaron, “She’s never going to forgive me, is she?”Blake sighed. “Son, never say never. But I will say that you are definitely in some unchartered territory here.”Aaron smirked. “Yeah, I have never heard of anyone getting rejected twice, much less three times, so you are already in record-breaking territory. If Paige rejects you a third time, we may need to call in some officials to get you photographed.”I turned and glared at him. “Not helping.”“Look, man, I don’t know what you were thinking on this one. You have been really trying —even I can see that. But how could you tell her about Theo but not tell her who Theo’s mom was?”I put my head in m

(About 90 minutes earlier)(Cassie POV)Could I be pregnant? Surely not. But...maybe?Aaron and I have definitely enjoyed each other the last few months. And apparently, thanks to Granny Apple, that has been unprotected enjoyment. Now that I think about it, the signs have all been there. Mood swings; things tasting weird; heightened sex drive.But I would know if I was pregnant, wouldn’t I? Missy would know? “I have a lot of talents, Cassie, but pregnancy detection is not one of them,” Missy speaks up.Paige, Megan, and Josephine are all watching and staring at me. “Sweetheart, it would make sense…” Josephine starts to say.“Maybe we should buy you a test on the way back to Blue Moon…” Paige suggests.“No!” I protest. “We are surrounded by guards from multiple packs, and they are just as bad at gossiping as anyone else. If we stop for a pregnancy test on the way home, Aaron and my parents will have heard about it before we even walk back through the door. I need to be sure

(Aaron POV)I punch my fist into a wall in my office, creating a large hole. “THREE DAYS! IT HAS BEEN THREE F----ING DAYS!!!!”No one says anything. What can they say? We are all feeling the pressure and reality of the situation.I felt like my life came to a halt the moment that Maggie called me and told me that Cassie had been kidnapped, along with Paige and a baby. It was only after we had Maggie picked up and brought back to Blue Moon that we discovered that the baby was her nephew… and a possible werewolf.We immediately turned Blue Moon’s large conference room into a war room, and there has been a flurry of activity in and out of it ever since. Most of the alpha and beta wolves that attended the bachelor party were retired, and they immediately dropped everything and came to help us with the search. Given that Alpha Mike is Cassie’s brother-in-law and an important ally, he also came to help, leaving his beta in charge of White Howlers. Of course, Cassie’s parents and Alb

(Three Days Earlier) (Cassie POV) I notice the kidnapper pull down her hood and turn herself to look at Paige. Paige gasps. “Shelly?????????” Shelly? Who is Shelly? “Miss me?” Shelly taunts. I glance at Paige in the rear-view mirror. She looks both pale and confused. Shelly waves her gun in my face, basically using it as a pointer. “Get on the interstate. I’ll tell you when to pull over. We have a car waiting for us in about 20 miles.” “Shelly, why are you here? What is going on?” Paige asks. “I thought it was finally time for you to have some one-on-one time with your beloved stalker.” “What? You…. You are the stalker?” Shelly gives us an evil smile. “Who else would it be?” “But… why?” “Oh, little sister, have you really not figured it out yet? Goddess you are naïve. I thought for sure you would have grown up and gotten a little smarter by now.” Shelly starts digging in one of the pockets in her hoodie. She pulls out two silver bracelets and hands one to each

(Paige POV)It has now been hours since Shelly turned out the lights and went to bed, leaving Cassie and I handcuffed to chairs. Neither of us have been able to sleep, nor do I think either of us want to.Occasionally, I can feel Cassie’s eyes on me. I cannot bring myself to look back at her. Nor can I bring myself to speak. It is my fault that we are in this situation. Not only was it my stupid idea to ditch the guards, but it was also my stalker… my sister… who kidnapped us. At this point, other than the overwhelming guilt, I do not feel much else. I am not scared and I am not worried. I am just… numb.I spent the entire time in the trunk of the sedan trying to figure out what clues or signs I had missed. I must be just as naïve as my sister says that I am, because I have not been able to come up with anything. Shelly is my older sister. Like the rest of my family, she abandoned me after the Peter-Bailey situation came to light. However, we were pretty close growing up,

(Jason POV) As promised, Alpha Paul arrived at the packhouse within three hours. Aaron, Blake, my dad, Alpha Mike, and I all met with him in Aaron’s office. Alpha Paul wasted very little time with pleasantries. He asked us to tell him what we had learned about the kidnapping so far. It may seem odd that we were willing to share our intel with him, but we had discussed it before Alpha Paul arrived. Alpha Paul had a good reputation in the werewolf community, with many trusted and common allies. And —most importantly— we were desperate and running out of options. Once we told Alpha Paul the basics of what had happened and what we knew, he told us the story of the Moonlight Six. He admitted that the story he had pieced together had some inconsistencies and some holes, but he believed that the rough outline was generally correct. According to Alpha Paul, ten years ago, a group of she-wolves attended a summer camp together. They were all assigned to the same cabin for the summer,

(Aaron POV)Jason was the first one to verbalize that we needed to talk to Granny Apple again, but he was not the first one to think it. The problem was that Granny Apple was barely functioning right now, and I was not sure whether she would be able to give us any useful information. However, at this point, I don’t care whether Granny Apple is functioning or not. I don’t even care if she is able to put full sentences together. It has been three days —THREE F---ING DAYS— and we cannot leave any stone unturned. My office is large, but it is too small to accommodate any additional people. I mind-link one of my guards to ask Granny Apple and Albert to meet us in the small conference room. I then invite everyone, including Alpha Paul, to follow us in there.Once everyone is settled in the small conference room, I invite Jason to take the lead.“Granny Apple,” Jason begins, “there are a few things that have been bothering me. Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?”“Go ahead,”

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
