Saved by the alpha.Chapter 20: Having a cute dog to keep me company is better . Tiredly yawning Jaden stretched in the morning. There was comfortable weight on his side. Right, the wolf had fallen asleep using him as a pillow. Still a bit groggy from sleep he reached out to pet the wolf’s fur but was met with naked skin. Not his own naked skin… he was quite sure of that.Hesitant he opened his eyes and glanced down at whatever or whoever was lying there. It was a boy. A boy was lying on top of him. A pretty attractive one at that. Pretty naked too.Not hesitating any further Jaden pushed the attractive male off the bed. There was a loud thump as his body hit the cold floor. Jaden, who was finally unrestricted, sat up, bed hair as bad as usually and clinging onto his blanket. What the hell was that boy/man doing in his bed? Sure, he’d woken up to naked guys before, but this time he was damn sure that this one wasn’t supposed to be there. Not at his parent’s house. And if he hadn’t
Saved by the Alpha .Chapter 21: There was something weirdly calming to it..They were sitting on the edge of the ‘pool’, Jaden eating some watermelon to cool his system, Alfie chewing on a piece of dried meat Jaden had gotten him, when Jaden got a call. When he answered the phone a familiar voice sounded from the other end of the line.“Hey you piece of shit. You didn’t tell me again. I swear, why do I always have to find out by accident that you’re here?” Jordan’s annoyed but not really angry voice echoed through the phone.Jaden chuckled. “Because I can count on you finding out anyways.”“Ugh I hate you. Wanna come over? We’re having noodles for dinner and I know you miss my mum’s food.” Jordan stated and Jaden could pretty much see him running his hands through his hair and looking smug.“I’d love to. When should I stop by?” Jaden asked, watching as Jordan’s ears twitched. Alfie got up from where he was sitting on Jaden’s legs and started licking his feet enthusiastically. Jade
Saved by the alpha .Chapter 22: ‘wolves’ into the search bar.Just five months later Jaden was sitting in the library of his college, snow falling outside while he was sitting in the warmth of the building, drinking some coffee to keep him awake, wearing a wide sweater for when he would leave the building again.His phone rang, breaking his never existing concentration on the task sheet. Quickly to make sure he wasn’t bothering anyone he made his way over to a vacant corner before picking up. It was his mum.“Jaden sweet heart! How are you? Are you eating well?” Her voice sounded from the other end of the line. Jaden smiled, leaning against one of the shelves.“I’m great. And my roommate is forcing me to eat whenever I have one of my hour long inspiration boosts so I’m doing fine in that department as well. How are you?”“Oh I’m good. Just a bit sad that you won’t be coming home for Christmas.” She said, then there was a long pause. “A bit nervous too. There has been a lot going
Saved by the Alpha .Chapter 23: Yeah. Let’s talk.Just a couple of days later he and Alfie went into the woods for a ‘walk’. Jaden had watched some videos about wolves, plus one longer documentary, and read a few paragraphs of the wikipedia page on wolves and was now a self declared professional. Not really, but at least he had something to work with.Maybe it wasn’t the reason for Alfie’s being this tense, but he had read that wolfs that didn’t get enough exercise often ended up feeling unsettled and restless. Maybe the fact that Alfie was around him so much was the reason for the aggression he had displayed. Hopefully a bit of walking through the woods would help with that.At least Alfie really seemed to enjoy it. He kept on leaping over stumps and run off just to jump between Jaden’s legs, almost making the older tumble again. Usually the direction he had run off to was entirely different from the one he came back from, too, but Jaden had just come to the conclusion to stop ov
Saved by The Alpha.Chapter 24: do you a know a thing called soulmates? . “So the whole wolf thing happens when you want it to, or is it subconscious? Because you said that you didn’t intentionally reveal yourself as a human.” Jaden began, sitting down next to Alfie.Alfie played with his feet still looking rather nervous. It wasn’t surprising. After all, just like Jaden he had no idea how things were going to continue from here on. The only thing that Jaden had already approved was that Alfie was going to stay there with him.“Usually shifting is intentionally but when I’m too relaxed, for example when I’m sleeping in a safe environment, it can happen that I shift on accident.” he explained. “I haven’t been able to shift for a long time though. The first time I did was when you saw me like this the first time. We, my kind, we are born and usually spend our first few months in wolf form before we turn. The first time it happens it’s not on purpose. It just happens when we’re somewh
Saved by The Alpha .Chapter 25: maybe we were meant to be . The next morning Jaden, to his surprise, woke up to Alfie still being human. For some reason he’d expected everything to have been a figment of his own imagination. To wake up and once again find out that Alfie still was a wolf and he had just been having the same recurring dream. But he didn’t. Instead he found Alfie lying by his side, rolled up into a ball with his head on Jaden’s chest like he always was in his wolf form, just that he was human this time.For a while Jaden simply watched him, feeling all warm and happy. He finally had the time to think about all the things that had happened the night before. Alfie wasn’t just Alfie the wolf. Now there also was human Alfie, a sweet guy with the exact same body language, who easily slipped into the habits of wolf Alfie. For example burying his face in Jaden’s neck, which he was currently doing.Not that Jaden minded. For some reason, once the initial shock had worn off
Saved by The Alpha.Chapter 26: bit of an upgrade to being a boyfriend .“Come with me.”They walked towards the house, where Jaden told Alfie to wait outside and hide if anyone showed up, while he walked inside, making sure his parents were both in their rooms. After informing his mum, who was indeed reading in her room, that he was going to take a bath and making sure his dad was in the study, he opened the front door again, quickly guiding Alfie through the hallway before entering the bathroom and immediately locking the door behind them. Alfie curiously inspected the interior of the room and Jaden realized that this was probably the first time he had been inside a proper house.“No idea how much you know about this, but we’re in a house right now. This is the bathroom, where you usually wash up, brush your teeth, put on makeup, whatever you need to do to look and smell good.” Alfie watched him, his eyes curious, so Jaden assumed he really had no idea about all of this. He tur
Saved by The Alpha.Chapter 27: style struggles .That attitude pretty much went out the window the second Jaden told Alfie that he had plans to meet with Jordan the following day. “Whyyyyy? Why do you hang out with that roach?”Jaden furrowed his brows as he slipped into some more comfortable clothes. Alfie had seen him change so many times when Jaden had not had any idea that he wasn’t just a pet that it really didn’t matter that much. Well, at least while still wearing boxers. Even in these circumstances Jaden wouldn’t undress completely. “Why do you hate Jordan that much?”“He’s ugly.” Alfie crossed his arms over his chest, sulking on the bed.“He’s not?” Jaden asked, really confused where all the malice came from.“He talks in such a cutesy way, it’s annoying.” Alfie murmured, pulling his legs up.“No, he doesn’t.”“He does!” Alfie insisted, giving a weak imitation of Jordan talking in a squeaky voice.Jaden raised an eyebrow before realizing something. “Wait… are you jealous
Saved by The Alpha.Epilogue:.**MANY YEARS LATER** It’s the middle of the night when Iandor and Jay are woken up by a soft cry. The alpha groans, places a hand on Iandor’s shoulder when his mate tries to sit up.“I’ll get her. . . You got her last time. You need rest,” Jay mumbles, blinking the sleep from his eyes.Before he rises all the way, he palms the rounded curve of Iandor’s stomach affectionately and leans over to kiss the human gently on the cheek. Iandor doesn’t sleep well these nights, complaining about their unborn pup jamming their limbs up under his ribs or right into his bladder, so Jay knows that every moment of sleep the younger gets is precious.However, the soft crying turns to wailing down the hall, so Jay moves quickly through the darkness. He pulls on a t-shirt, bumping his hip with the door to push it open. Their wooden floor creaks a bit underfoot as he makes his way to the bedroom down the hall, cracking it open wide to see their daughter, Hana, standing u
Saved by The Alpha .Chapter 35: mates and bonded together .When Jaden woke up the next time, the sun was shining through the window. Way too bright for his liking, but what did that matter? He could feel Alfie’s hard on digging into his side, although the boy was still sleeping.Maybe he was dreaming some interesting things… Slowly Jaden sat up. His ass felt a lot better after a few hours of sleep. But he still felt it. Alfie certainly was something. Maybe he was masochistic considering that he was still looking forward to what was yet to come.Careful not to wake Alfie he climbed out of bed. He had to grab some food from his parent’s fridge, hopefully without them noticing. He didn’t want to leave Alfie alone for too long. Especially when he imagined Alfie’s panicked state if he were to wake up with Jaden gone.And oh how right he was. Even though he did manage to sneak past his parents Alfie was already awake when Jaden entered the shed. When he opened the door the boy’s head s

Even though Alfie complained his protests were weak and in the end he just told Jaden to hurry up because he wanted to cuddle more.Jaden did, wiping both himself and Alfie clean before snuggling back into the warm bed.It wasn’t until at least a couple of hours later - it was dark outside already - that he woke up again. The reason being Alfie’s hand hesitantly shaking him by his shoulder. It felt hot against Jaden’s skin. As if Alfie was running a fever.“Jaden?” Alfie’s voice was soft, but there was a certain impatience to it.Tiredly Jaden opened his eyes to find a flushed looking Alfie leaning over him. “Sorry for waking you up… but it’s kind of bad right now…”For a few seconds Jaden had no clue what Alfie was talking about. Then it hit him. Alfie had to be in rut now.“Your rut?” Alfie attempted to blink the sleepiness away.W
.Saved by The Alpha.Chapter 33: tears of happiness .Alfie shook his head. “Anything. Anything as long as it’s you…”Jaden was about to die. How had he gotten such a cute boyfriend? He really had no clue.“You say that but I bet you’ll have preferences… even with me.” He patted Alfie’s thigh, then he leaned down and pressed a kiss to Alfie’s tip before the boy could answer.Alfie gasped, grasping the sheets around him, his hips unconsciously bucking up. Jaden used his hand to hold him in place as he wet his lips. This was going to be Alfie’s first blowjob and Jaden wanted to make it worthwhile.Alfie was uncut, which wasn’t much of a surprise considering he’d never seen a doctor. Jaden preferred it like that anyways. Slowly he leaned down, running his tongue over Alfie’s tip. Underneath him Alfie shuddered in response.Feeling content Jaden pulled the skin back, revealing the rest of Alfie’s tip before slowly wrapping his lips around it and moving down. Alfie’s soft moans filled

But this town wasn’t the place he lived in. There was no university around and he didn’t know anyone but Jordan and a couple of older people his parents knew.This simply wasn’t his home. As much as Alfie felt like home to him, this place wasn’t.“I’m sorry, Alfie.”Alfie let out a sigh, but he sounded oddly calm. “It’s okay… I… expected that.” Jaden could feel his dejected tone sting at his heart.“I’m glad you’re here now.” Alfie added, still intensely nosing at his neck. Jaden couldn’t help but ask. He wanted to distract himself from the sad undertone of that little conversation. “What are you doing?”Alfie brushed his nose over the spot right under Jaden’s ear before nibbling on the skin. “It’s a wolf thing.”Jaden couldn’t help but feel curious. “What kind?”.“Scenting.

Alfie hardly called in the morning, especially not when they had talked for at least two hours the day before. So he picked up as quickly as he could.“Alfie? Everything okay?”The boy on the other end sounded tired, his voice a bit rough. He must have just woken up, Jaden realized. “Uhm no. Not really. I-” He hesitated, the line falling silent for a couple of seconds before Alfie spoke again. “I think I might be going into rut?”--Jaden found himself taking the train back to his parent’s house.Today had been the first day he’d ever even heard anything about Alfie having something like a wolf’s mating cycle.“Rut? Like wolves have?” Alfie hadn’t told him about this.“Yeah, a rut. I feel a bit feverish and y

It's like a part of me is missing when you aren't here."Jaden could practically hear the frown when Alfie spoke. "I know you mean it, but that's such a corny sentence." He chuckled, and like so many phone calls before he wished Alfie was there... just so he could run his hands through the boy's hair. "I miss you too. It's really sad not having you around."He played with the strings hanging from his hoodie. "I will come visit you soon. Just another month or two, then I'll be able to come back."Alfie sighed on the other end of the line. "I don't want to wait another month... your bed no longer smells like you. You need to get your scent all over the shed again. It feels so empty without it. Come back earlier. Who cares about uni? All it does is make you stare at your computer all day."Jaden chuckled at Alfie’s dislike for uni stuff. "I'm
Saved by The Alpha .Chapter 29: a part of me is missing when you aren't here. The next morning Alfie, who still was in his wolf form, and Jaden went outside, playing in the snow for a bit. Jaden was building a snowman, although he barely remembered the last time he had built one. It had to have been back in the days when he and Jordan had still went to the same school.Alfie spent most of the morning chewing on snow and Jaden… at some point had the urge to just sit down and do the same. It seemed like such a relaxing activity in the way Alfie did it, just lying in the snow and snapping at some of it every once in a while.Jaden sat down next to him, glad that his mother had given him proper water repellent pants and boots. “How does the snow taste?”Alfie barked, rolling onto his back, biting down on more snow as he dipped his head back.A chuckle left Jaden’s lips. “Certainly looks like it.”Alfie barked again, his tail wagging and pushing snow around. Jaden’s eyes fell on Alfie’
Saved by The Alpha .Chapter 28: Damn habits.. Alfie nodded contently. “I have another thing I need help with.” Alfie stated, squatting down and grabbing the boots Jordan had chosen raising it to show his boyfriend. “How do you wear this?.” When Jaden left the cabin again Jordan was waiting outside with the widest grin Jaden had ever seen on him. “You guys totally just had a quickie in there.”Jaden rolled his eyes. “We didn’t.”“Sure.” Jordan chuckled and he decided to just ignore it since he didn’t really have a better excuse as to why he had been in Alfie’s booth for this long.When Alfie left the cubicle, now completely dressed in the black button up, a black leather jacket Jordan had picked out completely on his own and tight jeans, Jordan gasped loudly. Jaden, who was used to Jordan’s dramatic reactions, just focused on how amazing his boyfriend looked in clothes that actually fit him. He had already looked great before, but right now it was just ridiculous.“Jaden, you don
