"So...this is Sofia?" Zane asked, looking down at the sleeping beauty, smiling softly as she held onto his medallion tightly.
"And how did you lose her?" He asked his daughter, looking back up at Ellie, his eyebrow raised in silent query.
"Well...It's all Britney's fault!" Ellie exclaimed, not wanting to elaborate further.
Zane shook his head, disappointed that Ellie was blaming someone else.
"Ellie...you are a responsible child and I know you wouldn't intentionally blame another person."
Ellie slumped into the chair before her father's desk, defeated. Her Dad had taught her to be a responsible individual and she couldn't wholly blame Britney.
"I'm sorry. I was taking care of Sofia, when Britney came in, spewing nonsense and my wolf felt protective. I let my wolf take control, I only set Sofia down, to keep her out of harm's way and basically turned into a mamma wolf, protecting her cub." Ellie said.
"I'm proud that you would protect an innocent...but, what did Britney do, that made you forget your little charge?" Zane asked.
'Britney hates humans, so she wasn't exactly welcoming in seeing Sofia in the pack house," Ellie sighed in frustration, rubbing her temples. "And...I don't know why, but my wolf and even Jason's is very protective of little Sofia."
Zane looked at his son, "Is that true Jason?"
"Yeah Dad, ever since I met Sofia, my wolf and I feel a deep connection, almost...brotherly." Jason replied.
Zane contemplated on what to do, Ellie clearly felt remorseful, but...he needed to set an example, "Ellie...you have to control your wolf. I understand that you were protective, but...your emotions almost lost you this child. Luckily this little girl is safe for today. So...even though it seems unfair, I have to punish you."
"But...Dad!"
"No, Ellie! You are a young wolf and I understand that your emotions are high and short. But as an Alpha's daughter, you have to learn to control your emotions. Discipline is needed and don't take this as me being unfair or unjust. Any good leader learns as they go along and from their mistakes, so those around them won't be hurt. It will be a lesson in humility and perhaps save many lives."
Ellie understood where her father was coming from, sighing in defeat, "I understand and accept my punishment."
"Good. As for your punishment, you'll be helping Mrs. Thomas this whole week with the pack meals." Zane said, happy that Ellie complied.
"And what about Britney?" Jason asked.
"I'll worry about that. Now...both of you leave my office. As you can see, Sofia is resting peacefully, once she wakes, I'll bring her to you."
"You feel it too...don't you?" Ellie asked her Dad.
Zane wasn't going to lie, something about Sofia drew him in. As his children said, he felt a deep connection with the little girl and he couldn't explain it.
"Yes, I feel it too..." Zane said, lowering his head, sniffing her baby scent contently.
It had been a week since the incident with Sofia and Ellie had a theory, but she needed to confirm it, but... before she could do that, she needed the help of her annoying brother.She was currently visiting Jasmine and Sofia, her brother was at the pack house and soon he would be picking her up to take her home.
"Mate!" Zane muttered under his breath.Ellie heard her father and was happy. Her theory was correct and her father had found his mate. Hopefully Jasmine would feel the connection and she wouldn't reject her father. Both these adults needed each other and they were perfect for one another. Now she knew why her wolf felt a connection to these individuals.
Zane was over the moon, even though he had to leave his mate, he knew that he would see her the following day and who is to say that later that evening he couldn't go for a run and take a sneak at his mate, her property did border the forest, so there wasn't a chance of her seeing him.But...first, he had to set preparations in place. Jason and Ellie knew he had found his mate, but the rest of the pack still didn't know that he had found their Luna, they needed to be told and he needed to get protection set up, Clara was likel
Zane was anxious, the day seems to be dragging, everything was set up for the barbeque, everyone was milling around waiting. Everyone had been informed of him finding their Luna and he was glad that the majority of members were accepting of that fact.Now he couldn't wait for her arrival, he had missed her, even though he had gone out for a run last night and ended up at her home, he had only caught a glimpse of her through her kitchen window. His wolf didn't want to leave, but he knew they had to get back and get some rest.
After Clara left and everyone went back to normal. Ellie and Jason apologized profusely to Jasmine, worried that she would flee. Zane hovered around Jasmine, just as worried as his children, that his chance to build a relationship had ended before he could even try...Jasmine knew that the three individuals standing around her were concerned that she would walk away and not look back, "Guys...stop! I'm not going anywhere. So...chill." She attempted a laugh, hoping to ease the tension, she understood that everyone had bad blood
There was a light knock on his bedroom door, Zane groaned, it was still early, the sun was barely rising and he was still awake. Ever since finding his mate and him being Alpha it was getting harder to stay away from her. So he had not yet fallen asleep and not even the run in his wolf form, had tired him out, he had spent the better part of the night tossing and turning.Thinking of ignoring the knock on his door, he kept quiet, hoping that whoever was on the other side, would take the hint and leave. And if it was an emergen
Jasmine watched as Zane held Sofia gently in his arms, a smile gracing his face. What she wished for, before he arrived was now a reality, here was a guy that would stand by someone during good and bad."Thank you." She said simply, smiling tiredly at Zane."No problem, after all...both of you a
Zane laughed internally, being a parent sucked at times like these. And him being a Alpha wolf didn't help the situation.Groaning he leaned back, smirking when he noticed that Jasmine was still in a desirous daze and hadn't noticed her daughter calling. Taking one last look at her bountiful breasts, he regretfully covered them up, "Come on sweetheart, duty calls..."
First I would like to thank each and everyone for taking the time to read my book.Constructive criticism is acceptable, what is not acceptable is bullying in any form. I do not support or condone it.As you have also noted, all my stories are completed, I really don't like leaving my audience hanging and waiting for the next chapter. I have been lucky in h
"I knew I would find you here." A voice huskily whispered in his ear.Opening his eyes, he smiled lovingly at his mate, tracing a finger across her cheek, brushing his lips across hers, "We didn't want to wake you...you needed your rest." He spoke quietly, glancing down at the quiet bundle against his chest.
Jasmine woke with a start, her head pounding, her body shivering, as she lay on a cold damp surface, trying to take in her surroundings in the dark, she tried to move, only to realize her hands and legs were bound tightly.Blinking her eyes shut, when a light switched on, "You're awake?" A familiar female voice spoke.
Zane was at the far end of the property, on the stage with Jake, surveying the bustling activities as pack members readied for the Luna ceremony, excitement in the air.When a wave of dizziness hit him with full force, stumbling him, reaching out to Jake, he mumbled, "Jasmine..." Before he collapsed onto his knees.
A week had passed, the Luna ceremony was that evening, the threats had quietened down for some reason, keeping everyone on alert, it was just too quiet for their liking, wondering when the next attack would be.Jasmine and Sofia still had a protection detail around them, whenever Zane could not be by his mate's side.
"Freedom at last..." Zane quietly mumbled out, forgetting that Jasmine's hearing was acute, receiving a hard hit on his head, "Ow...what was that for?" He grumbled, scratching his sore head, glaring at his mate."I didn't see you complaining a few moments ago." She spoke, glaring back at him, "Or should I withhold special privileges until you learn your lesson." She quietly pondered, raising her eyebrow in silent query.
It was a few moments before they left the shower, Zane carrying his mate out, patting her dry and then carrying her to their bed. Not wanting to let go of his mate, Jasmine only laughed at his over-protectiveness, treating her like a piece of fragile porcelain.But she wasn't going to complain, her body was sated, her limbs feeling like leaden weights. Snuggled against his naked form, she slept peacefully, relishing the feel of their naked forms brushing against each other. The intimate contact of flesh against flesh, keeping
MatureContent!!!"Are you coming in or not?" Jasmine teased, taking off the last piece of clothing, throwing it at him. Before turning and entering the shower.It took Zane a couple of se
It had been a few hours since his mate had fainted, Zane was getting anxious, it was already past midnight and his mate had yet not stirred.Laying beside her, his fingers lightly tracing her face, when she began to stir, "Please wake up." He whispered, hope flaring when her eyes slowly fluttered open, her blue eyes staring at him, "Hey...how are you doing?" He asked.
