Rejected by one Alpha, Loved by another Chapter 73 - Planning Reggie's Birthday
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 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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.
