Esme's POV2 weeks have flown by really fast. I've gone from a size 4 pair of jeans to finally fitting perfectly in a size 6, me and Finley often shift at night or early in the morning and go for a run which is great. We've both been with our mates a lot of the time so this is our time to spend together.Tonight is my Luna ceremony and I can't wait!! I've started to get a little better with going out on my own and I have now started talking with people. When Jaxon said they all love me already I didn't believe him. But after seeing everyone and talking with them or messing with kids out side and pushing the kids on swings or going to play hide and seek I notice that I have started to grow a soft spot for everyone here. And I can't wait to be their Luna. I have been attending class for the last 2 weeks just to get use to doing it and I have already learn so much. The duties I will have towards the pack and the duty of care I hold against everyone here and also Jaxon."You ready for ton
Robyn's POVWe have spent the last few weeks preparing Esme for her Luna ceremony a long with training and getting her used to classes, she's exhausted but she now has a few days off so she can spend time with Jaxon and everyone in the family and pack. We are hosting a huge pack BBQ tomorrow with it been Sunday and I can't wait. She deserves this and I'm so proud of her.When Jax had asked us not to approach her both me and his dad was quick to ask why. He explained that she wanted closure to separate her past life to her former life and she had my up most respect and support on every bitch of that choice.Me and Jacob stayed close by near her family and I will say...they don't care about them which angered me most. Their former alpha was ready to pounce on her the moment she set him straight the first time, but her emotions and her anger got the better of the situation and she handled it I'd say very well.When she first came to our pack she was fragile and she refused any kind of he
Jaxon's POVWe're just finishing up one main part of a deal with another pack when my head starts banging. It doesn't feel like a headache but it's enough to make Blaze shake back in fear. A wolf who never cowers back."Jaxon man are you alright""My head. It's banging louder and louder"My office door swings open and a flustered Fin and mom are running shouting for me. I manage to stand up but I hurts again."What's wrong sweetheart""My head.

You need to come...now!"I run out of my office and I'm on my way to my room when I hear her screaming. My head starts hurting again and i realise it's nightmares. She's having nightmares again. I rush in to my room shouting for her to wake up."Esme baby it's me...wake up baby"Finley is quick too get too her as well as he's trying to talk to her."Why have these started again" I ask more
Esme's POVSunday afternoon went smoothly after everything that had happened. I didn't manage to eat much as I felt queasy but I put it down to the stress.I sat and laughed with everyone the best I could but I didn't know what else to say or do I just wanted to curl up in bed with Jax and Sleep.After the BBW we called it an early night and laid in bed watching the vampire diaries all night before sleep finally took us both.The next day Robyn had told Jaxon that we were going to have a girlie morning shopping and he gave me his black card so I could go shopping. I didn't want to use it I tried to hand it back but Robyn told me to make the most of it.We got to a hospital outside of the pack as if we went to the pack doctor then he would surely find out and I wanted to give it to him on Christmas Eve as a surprise. Not even my brother knows yet and I'm so scared for people to know.After waiting for a while I was finally called in and she took a quick pee sample and clarified that I
Jaxon's POV "NO FUCKING WAY" both Finn and dad say at the same time. Esme laughs out loud and my mom is smiling so brightly that I think Charlie and Hunter have become majority confused. "Charlie and Hunter can you go and see what Esme has gifted me for an early Christmas present" With curious faces on their faces they go to the box and Hunter Gasps so loudly I think his balls fell out. "YOUR PREGNANT!!" Finley says with a beaming smile on his face. He's quick to jump on Esme and give her to most biggest hug I have ever seen him do. They're both laughing and when they're done he lifts his head up to reveal the tears in his eyes. "Oh little brother don't cry!!" "5 minutes Es...." We all start laughing because they always say the older twin never lets the younger one forget about it and they're has been several times where she's reminded him of this which makes me laugh. My dad comes to give me a hug and to congratulate us on this big news! My brother and Hunter both pounce on E
Esme's POVBefore we officially call it a night me and Fin decided to go for a walk, now that I'm pregnant the doctors doesn't recommend that I shift as it can cause stress to my body."I can't believe I'm going to be an uncle Es! This is the best piece of news I have ever heard" Finn says while walking with me and gulping down a full can of cola."I told Robyn first, I needed to know and I needed someone who can relate you know I hope your not mad"I've been extremely emotional recently and I can kind of guess why now. I'm happy and excited but I'm super scared."Why would I mind? Knowing my big mouth I'd have gone and jumped on Jaxon and told him myself" he says while laughing and eating."Dude we just had pizza and you're still eating...are you pregnant?"He starts laughing at me in my face"What are you laughing at?" I ask him."Your funny looking face Es" I'm a little confused why he said that. It wasn't even funny.I don't give him a second before I turn around and begin to wal
Finley's POVIt's Christmas Day and I feel like shit. I didn't go to bed with Naomi last night I instead I told her I'd be spending a bit of time with my sister. After she had tried to shut us both out and push us away Jaxon managed to calm her down and get her in to bed, I asked him if I could stay with her for the night and he was more than happy to let me."Es" I speak softly."Please don't okay I won't explain anything anymore but just know..I don't blame you okay I don't hate you I made that choice to protect you because if I lost you it would have killed me more than what they did to me" she's telling me while sobbing.We're both laying on the bed and I turn her to me while hugging her. "I was actually going to say you look like shit" I say with tears in my eyes. She bursts out laughing and it's a sound I have come to hear often since been here"Well. Crying and messy hair and comfy clothes will do that to you, you know""Finn""Yeah?""I love you. And merry Christmas" she says
Jacob's POV (Jaxon's Father)Today's a big day for the whole pack. We have all been waiting for a few years for Jaxon to find his Mate and the packs New Luna so that Robyn can focus on the little things to do with the pack.And when he had planned to go the seasons Annual ball in September he never thought he would find his Mate there. And not only was she there but she was also abused by her Alpha, her former Alpha and many other of the packs members.When Jaxon Linked his mother to let her know he had found his mate but her brother was also coming we didn't expect to see her in the way we did see her.She was so under weight and so malnourished my heart went out to Jaxon. It was a difficult few weeks at the start as she never allowed anybody but Finley to help her and sometimes Robyn.Her family threw them out at such a young g age that even when he learnt how to fend for her self and her brother she was far to weak to do anything else and on top of having to do that she was a slave
2 years later Two years has flown by, everything happens for a reason but we certainly didn't expect a pandemic and being unable to go into town. I spent a lot of my time helping some of the children with their work, or in the woods shifting and running off my energy and a lot more times in bed with my husband when the children are napping or with the day-care staff.The smell of cinnamon and sugar hangs heavy in the air, a familiar comfort that tells me it's Saturday morning and that Robyn has been baking once again. Jaxon, is in the kitchen arguing with his mother about the batter and what he can and cannot have which I always find funny. He’s a sight to behold, his messy hair, the way his shirt rides up as he bends over in to the fridge, the faint dusting of flour on his body from when Robyn swatted him away. He’s a mess, but he’s my mess is what I always say.Two years. Two years since the world turned upside down, two years since we welcomed Lola into our chaotic, beautiful fami
Esme's POVAfter the last few days I have come to understand just how hectic and amazing this life is! Robyn and Jacob are looking after Zack while Finley and Naomi take a week off to go on their honey moon, me and Jaxon are planning the Spring Festival for the pack and I am so excited to get stuck in with it again! We aim to do many of these events when the weather is good, probably because we get bad winters. I mean we got such bad weather over Christmas that we had to get all of our groceries delivered to the pack house and that is A LOT of shopping for everyone."Hey princess! My mom baked these last night, mint chocolate brownies as per you requested" Jaxon says as he hovers over me wanting one. I've felt a bit of recently and I think it's the weather change for me and Robyn had been eating these Brownies when I had one and have been hooked ever since on them!"Oh! Thank you! My stomach doesn't get queasy when I eat these" I say while giving my husband a kiss on the cheek and si
Finley's POVAs I stood in the room that my sister had prepared for the groomsmen I couldn't help but feel the twitch of anxiety and nerves running through my body. She said that she did it because if it was left to Jaxon we would be getting ready in the woods after a run which, Right now, wouldn't be a bad thing but apparently not with the look she gave him. My heart pounded with a mixture of Excitement and also Nerves. Today was the day I would marry the love of my life, The mother to my children and the one who has helped me fight many battles inside my mind when I first came here, who isn't afraid to call me out on my bullshit when needed which is a lot since she fell pregnant again. I must have repeated the words 'I get married today' countless times, but the reality of it still sent shivers down my spine. In a good way!Naomi has always looked so radiant, composed and beautiful to me and she always will be but with a seven-week baby bump, she was glowing even to the eyes of othe
Esme's POV 4 weeks have flown by!As I watched Reggie toddle about the living room, his tiny legs carrying him with my remote for the TV, I couldn't help but smile. His first birthday had been an unforgettable celebration, filled with laughter and joy and so much sugar I don't know who was worse...Jaxon or the children of the pack. Now, at thirteen months, he is a curious and energetic little boy, exploring his surroundings with a hint of trouble coming our way. Pulling things off the sofa while staring you directly in the eye...yep, that's my son for you, or pulling your hair when you have just gone for a cuddle...As I chased after him, I noticed his newfound mobility had made our lives a tad more chaotic. He had discovered the art of putting the latch on the front doors, so when someone wants to walk in they don't get very far but it always makes them laugh because they know how children can be, all of this leading to unexpected bathroom excursions and kitchen escapades. But despi
Esme's POV "Is the Cake ready for collection?" Jaxon asks me as he walks into the living room. The kids are all outside playing right now with their Uncle Charlie and Hunter which is giving us an hour to prepare some things before Reggie goes to bed. ]"She said round 4 pm is when we can get it but she also said to have two people carry it out. A lot of the cake is for the pack as well" I remind him because Jaxon gets gets the idea that all chocolate and cakes is his and he becomes a child when he doesn't get what he wants which I find adorable.I've always been a planner, a list-maker, and an organizer. I've planned events, parties, and even vacations and even though as Luna that is my job, I really do enjoy it. I managed to persuade Jaxon to let me have my own office so I can organise most of the things and then have my own desk instead of using his, granted it didn't take me long or much persuasion before he gave in and said yes. But planning Reggie's first birthday is by far the
Esme's POV It's been 6 months since I came back home after being kidnapped by Adeline and her fellow followers, but they was captured when my husband set out every day to get her. It made my heart feel so much lighter when he came home and a few days later admitted that she was sentenced to death and 4 months since we welcomed my beautiful niece, Nadia, into the world. She was born in the season of winter, and she truly embodies the spirit of hope. that is why they named her Nadia because it represents the symbol of Hope. She weighed 6lbs 6oz and was absolutely beautiful, with a head full of dark hair and the most captivating blue eyes just like Naomi's, but she has her fathers loud mouth. Yes she cries a lot and we spend a lot of time walking around the pack lands with her but she is absolutely amazing.From the moment she entered the world, Nadia has been a bundle of energy, constantly crying and pinching with her sharp nails. But despite the sleepless nights and the endless diaper
Jaxons POV A week has come and gone since Esme's return, and a sense of normalcy had begun to settle over our household. She spent countless hours in the garden with our children, their laughter filling my heart with warmth and chatter between my mom and wife also filling the air. Esme had also expressed an interest in starting a hobby to keep herself occupied, a welcome sign of her recovery the said, and I think she chose to do some arts type of thing so me and Charlie are planning to go out and buy her what ever art supplies she wants and needs. She isn't leaving this house unless she has a full protective system in place whether it be me, Charlie, Finley my dad or hunter. The pack I trust but my wife needs time to trust again and where better to start than in her home? Beneath the surface of our loving, carefree home, however, a storm was brewing. For the past week, my pack had been relentlessly hunting Adeline Carter, the werewolf who had been terrorising Esme, former pack member
Esme's POVI've always been the kind of person who loves surprises, but nothing could have prepared me for the one my brother planning our annual charity event when Finley, asked for everyone close to him to gather in the boardroom.that meant, Me, Jaxon his family, My dad and his side of thee family and some of Naomi's as well. I have never met Naomi's family. Finley said they are nice but terrifying which is why she doesn't have a lot to do with them. They gave her up when she was just a baby but then when she turned 18 she found them and they began talking again but she doesn't class them as her family, this is her family, her people that she loves."Why does he want everyone here?" I wondered, as I made my way to the boardroom with Robyn who only shrugged and said "I'm sure we will all find out shortly. The room was filled with our closest friends and family, all of whom were equally curious about the reason for this gathering.As I entered the room, I noticed a warm, inviting smi
Esme's POVJaxon is my blanket when it's cold, its warm grip sending perfect shivers down my spine. Once a sanctuary and luxury, the place that I lay my head and make love to my husband, my bed had become a battleground where nightmares waged war against my sanity.One year ago, Every night, for months, I would awaken in a cold sweat, my heart pounding like a drum in my chest. The nausea that gripped me was unbearable, threatening to tear my body apart. I couldn't escape the torment that had once plagued my waking hours, now it had found refuge in my dreams. Some how the dreams became night mares and now I am waking up once again in sweats and shivers. My body isn't able to acknowledge the threat and the difference between life time night mares and night time night mares but it is scary as shit. I hate it so much.In the suffocating depths of the night, her face would appear before me, a haunting spectre. Her eyes, that was once filled with warmth, a person I could call a friend, now
