Esme's POV

He's standing there with his hands at his sides waiting for me to either accept or reject him. My heart and head know exactly what it's going to do but I wanted to keep him waiting a moment longer just to see if he's serious.

I can hear everyone at the door which means his heart must be beating loudly for him to not know that they're there.

I start with looking at him in the eyes and I can see many emotions in his eyes.

"I, Esme west of the waterside pack. Accept you, Alpha Jaxon from the midnight pack to be Your Mate and your Luna of the midnight pack"

His face lights up like he's just Won a toy at the carnival and I can't help but smile at him. He doesn't move but I can hear Blaze in my mind. He and Alana are getting on pretty smoothly so say we only just accepted each other.

He's just about to move when my door gets swung open and there is his mom and dad, Charlie (his brother) Hunter who is is best friend and my bestfriend / brother all standing there smiling and clappi

    Jaxon's POV"100% princess" I tell her. I can see that she was worried and I don't want her to be."I want you as well." I tell her while sliding my fingers in the band of her trousers and I can sense she's nervous."Do it" she says to me while wrapping her hands around my neck and biting her bottom lip."Fuck. You know what your doing to me right"She goes all seductive on me in a matter of seconds. How the fuck she do that?I pull her lip from her teeth and it's all red from her biting on it and I turns me on all the more.I pull her trousers down and her black underwear follows closely behind afterwards and she looks so sexy laying on the bed like that. I remove my pants and I'm left in my briefs.I lean back down to kiss her and she's putting her fingers in the waist band of my boxes to pull them down. She looks at me but doesn't say anything."What do you want princess""I want you to take them off" she said quickly. I chuckle but she doesn't need to ask me twice. Her mouth falls

She's a worrier because of all that's happened before and she doesn't want to make a single mistake that could cost Jaxon his pack."Oh darling. You're going to do great.

    Millie's POVI didn't want to lay in bed all evening, but as time went by and my music playlist kept going, I lay in bed feeling defeated, like I usually did whenever I couldn't perfect something or when one of the mean girls would corner me and I couldn't handle it.My phone is on Do Not Disturb, and I'm sure my sister will be sending out a search party at this point and I don't blame her. I've avoided her calls and my mother's calls all evening because I feel like a total idiot for ever thinking someone like Kai would want to be with someone like me.My music is playing loudly so I don't have to listen to Natalia knocking on my door. Only, when I finally open my tear-streaked eyes, Kai is standing at my bedroom door with a worried and angry look on his face.When I got home earlier I made quick work of looking him up and sure enough, he is the CEO of a fair few restaurants and hotel chains and I understand he can't exactly claim to be an Alpha to a pack of wolves but I found myself

    Kai's POVAt 3:40, when I was expecting Millie to turn up, I called her, but it went straight to voicemail. I don't worry too much about it because LA traffic can be a nightmare at this time in the afternoon, but I do drop her a message instead.Kai: Just let me know when you have arrived and I will come and meet you. I send the text, and it says delivered, but as the minutes tick by and my nerves begin to put me on edge, I send another message. Kai: Got some nice plans for the evening. When the meeting is done we can get the night started.Again, the text is sent as delivered so I know she is getting them but she doesn't read them. "Sir?""Yes?" I say looking up to find Cassidy standing in the doorway. She's one of those women who lives on daddy's money but doesn't like to do her job without being fired every damn minute of the day. Pushing her arms together to show me her cleavage which doesn't work because I would rather not look at her in that way so I keep my eyes trained on h

    Millie's POVAt 3:30 on the dot I pulled into the carpark, Kai told me to pull into.Pulling my phone out of my pocket, I texted my sister to let her know I was fine and asked her to stop ringing me every five minutes.Walking into the building, I manage to get through the reception area and straight up to Kai's floor. I'm only wearing skinny jeans paired with calf-high winter boots and a long top with a cardigan, and I feel comfy and snug. This is what it feels like nearing November weather: not too cold but not too hot either, but in the late afternoon and evenings, it does get really cold here."Hello. May I help you?" the pretty woman behind the desk asks. I don't know what my facial expression is doing, I think I'm smiling but my body is as straight and tense as a metal pole pipe."Hi, I'm looking for Kai?""Appointment?" she clips at me. Her work attitude throws me back a little. He knew I was coming here so surely she should be alright with me heading straight through to wherev

    Kai's POVFor the last few weeks, I have been travelling down to the UCLA campus to meet Millie after her lessons.She passed all of her exams at the end of last semester and the more I get to know her the better I feel.She was hesitant to get to know me at first before I showed up here and took her for breakfast after her morning practice.I also found out that she has a good trust fund but she doesn't use it, she prefers to work at the local diner on evenings and weekends and I respect a woman who doesn't want to rely on her family for money.My phone rings in my pocket as I'm walking towards Millie's practice."Rhodes," I say into the phone. I don't usually answer like this but when one of the office's phones for something then I do."Good morning Mr Rhodes it's Hallie" Hallie is my soon-to-be-fired secretary. Don't get me wrong I'm sure she does a brilliant job of her actual work but all I see is her trying to flirt and get in my pants at work."Yes?" I say as I come to a stop.

    Millie's POVThe music echoes around the room. The thrill of skating to a good song makes everything feel much calmer to me. Everything I have exceeded is because I have given it my all, and I am proud of myself for getting this far."Mills, You're getting there with your axel but you need to push yourself further. Before you do it, duck and twist your body to get the right angle you need" Coach Steven's says as she notes down my movements. She's been my coach for the last 3 years since Avery retired and started travelling with her husband."Yes coach" no say feeling the back of my neck hairs stand on end. My body is going crazy and Zia is going absolutely nuts in my head.I carry on focusing on my movements and what I can do to keep with the same routine as the song nears an end."I want you to keep practising your camel spin okay, your footing is perfect for it but you're pushing yourself to the highest level and it's going to cause you some pain if you keep doing it, Millie""Yes,

    Kai's POVWhen I landed in LAX, I went straight for the car I had left there the day before. I should have gone straight home, but I decided to phone my Mom and see what I should do."Hi Baby, how did the deal go yesterday?"My mom is everything to us all. She may have stepped down from her Luna duties, but everyone still goes to her when they need something. I planned to not mention any of this until I got home, but I'm questioning whether or not I should go and see Millie.A fitting name for a Luna. It has a ring to it. I think to myself. I don't want to get my hopes up but I certainly don't want to waste another moment not meeting her."It went to shit ma. The Alpha has no clue what to do but that's not why I'm calling. I'm back in LA. Just about to leave the Airport actually and I need your advice" I say as I'm actually still sitting in the car park not moving. I need to know what to do. I'm a bloody Alpha and I haven't a clue how to approach this situation."Go on?" She says in h

    Kai's POVI smell it again.I got a whiff of Vanilla mixed with something else in the airport but when I turned around I wasn't greeted by anyone else looking around. No one looking for me. It was really busy since it was the exact time most of the gates were opening and closing so I didn't manage to catch her scent for long but right now as I drive up the gates driveway to Midnight pack I can smell her scent once again.Pulling my car up as close as I can I step up to the door and knock.Patiently waiting for someone to open it.A little older woman opens the door and pulls me inside."Alpha...?" She asks as she scans a list and politely smiles at me. Most people fear me or they avoid eye contact but she's looking directly at me."Sorry, I'm sorry my bad love, I'm Magda, I work here and I'm instructed to have the Alpha's sent to their quarters""Sorry, hello Magda, it's Alpha Rhodes""Mr Rhodes. Please follow me" she says but I can't help the feeling of something going completely w

    Kai's POVIt's usual business as always. I run a pack of 640 and a chain of hotels and restaurants all across the US so I haven't gotten much sleep. My sleeping schedule is lost on me these days and having the added stress is...shit. So far this last month has exhausted me and the last thing I want to be doing is branding a treaty with a pack that shows nothing to its name. Its value of commitment and leadership is meaningless if the Alpha prefers to play nasty instead of helping their own people achieve goals and respect boundaries. I've been in meetings all week and the last thing I want to do is to be at River Crafts Pack discussing more business with them."Mr Rhodes?""Yes? Sorry, I'm running low at the moment. What did you say?" I ask Alpha Kade."I was asking if you had thought more on the treaty. We've been good connections to each other packs for decades now and we have yet to form any sort of alliance"Meet Alpha Kade. Alpha Kade is one of the most stubborn yet not needed Al

    Millie's POVDear Diary.Since my therapist told me to write in my journal every day I decided I may as well do it now that I'm sitting in the airport after being at my parent's house for the last few days.All in all, I've spent the last 5 days having my mom hugging me tightly, keeping an eye on me and feeding me because she assumes I'm underweight which is crazy.A diet in my line of career is much needed but my Mom assumes it's rubbish.Her Luna instincts are top notch that's for sure. She never could understand why I didn't want to stay in the pack house and work my way up like my sister did but I guess you had to have one child who needed emotional therapy and medication. That's me.My twin sister, Poppy, she's great. We are so alike and so different that talking and laughing at the same time became our biggest issue. We are too in tune with each other and I think that's what annoys our father the most.Alpha Jaxon Hayes.My dad.Best dad ever.I guess sitting in an airport liste
