“I’m so sorry about Jules,” Jenna mumbled next to me as I climbed in my seat, her cheeks still flushed with embarrassment. So in order to comfort her and make her feel less embarrassed, because I honestly didn’t care about what had just happened, I leaned over and grabbed her hand. God… I still couldn’t get over the fact how perfect her hand felt in mine.
“Hey, it’s absolutely fine. I would have answered as many weird questions as she had to fire at me. I understand her concern, and honestly, I’m happy that you have a friend like her. She loves you and she is just trying to protect you.” I told her. And when I watched her shoulders fall a little as she finally started to relax, I started the car and started to drive back into the city to find a place for us to eat.
“Why are you still staying in the hotel?” I asked her because honestly, I didn&rsqu

“So… what about you, what are your dreams for the future, Gorgeous?” I asked her, hoping to God she felt the same as I did.“I… I have dreamt about having a family too someday. I mean, it’s something I’ve never really had, besides my uncle Ben.” She told me, her voice almost as soft as a whisper. My grip on her hand tightened because I knew there was abutcoming in there somewhere.“But…” she continued, making me press my eyes shut for just a microsecond because for once, I hated to be right.“My family history is complicated. My mother left me when I was young, and I’ve never even known my real father. Sometimes, I wonder if my dreams are just that, dreams. I fear the pain that comes with a family as well. The potential of heartbreak.” She shrugged, pain in her voice so clear I wanted to hunt down the man who was her father and kill him with

Adam’s P.O.V.I stood in the kitchen, an apron tied around my waist while I was chopping vegetables. The aroma of a hearty Sunday dinner filled the air, a comforting mix of simmering sauces and sizzling meat in the pan. Pots and pans clinked as I moved about, focused on the task at hand and hoping to God I wouldn’t burn anything in the meantime. But no matter how hard I tried to concentrate on the meal, my thoughts kept drifting back to Jenna.The memory of our first kiss was like a freaking spell on me, a melody playing on repeat in my mind. I could still feel the softness of her lips against mine, the way her fingers had brushed my cheek, igniting a spark that seemed to radiate through my entire being. And the way my wolf had felt in that moment… it was a feeling that had caught me off guard, yet felt so incredibly right. And now… all I could do was fantasize about the things I could do to her that I hadn’t done in real l

“What the hell is up with you two, yelling?” Koda asked, walking into the kitchen, a couple of bottles of soda in his arms that he then placed into the fridge.“Our sister doesn’t want to go to college,” I told Koda, seeing how he closed the refrigerator door and looked at me, giving me a look as if I was acting like an unreasonable parent right now and I was the one who needed to relax.“And why are we having this discussion right now?” Koda asked, sighing as if somehow, he already knew Sunday family dinner was ruined for everyone starting now.“Ask her, she's the one who brought it up.” I shrugged, turning myself back around to start chopping up carrots. Needing to do something because clearly, my baby sister was pissing me off with her childish behavior.“You’re turning it into a big deal. As if my whole life will end if I don’t go to college.” She yelled even l

Adam’s P.O.V.The Sunday sun bathed the dining room in a gentle glow as my family gathered around the table for family dinner. The savory aroma of the food filled the air, mingling with the chatter and laughter that always accompanied our gatherings. I hated to spend almost an entire day in the kitchen, but somehow, I just knew how happy and proud my mother would be if she would have lived to see this.So… maybe that was why I kept doing them. But my happiness was short-lived because we weren’t even done with dinner before one of my siblings got on my case.“So… a little birdy told me that you found a lady friend, Adam,” Blade told me, sitting to my left, wearing his firefighter t-shirt since he had just walked in after a shift. Skye just started snickering along with him as they exchanged mischievous grins. Damnit, those two acted way too much like twins these days.“Yeah…someon

Jenna’s P.O.V.I balanced my phone on the edge of my vanity mirror, adjusting it until I could see both myself and the screen clearly. With a deep breath, I tapped the video call icon, and Jules’ face appeared on the screen, her signature grin lighting up my phone.“Hey, cutie!” Jules exclaimed.“Are we ready for the big night?” She laughed, clapping her hands. I returned her smile, though my nerves were starting to show.“I think so. Adam is picking me up in half an hour.” I answered Jules, watching her eyes twinkle with excitement.“Well, let’s make sure you’re dressed to dazzle. Show me the options we are working with here.” She spoke, grabbing a Starbucks as I saw a green straw appear on my screen.I turned toward my hotel closet, scanning the hangers filled with my clothes.“Alright, here goes nothing.” I sighed, leaning in.&

Adam’s P.O.V.“Adam, what the hell are you doing in my closet?” Koda asked me the second he walked inside his bedroom and found me roaming through his closet. So, I quickly turned around, startled and understanding that I had just been caught red-handed.Shit…“It’s not what it looks like, I swear,” I answered Koda, seeing his eyebrow raise up playfully because knowing my brother, he knew exactly what it looked like and what I was doing.“Really? Because it looks like you’re on a treasure hunt in my closet.” He answered me matter-of-factly, the little dipshit who thought he was funny. But knowing I probably wouldn’t be able to get out of this mess in the end, all I could do was chuckle as a response.“Treasure hunt? Well, you see, I was just um… looking for my… lucky socks! Yeah, that’s it.” I nodde

Jenna’s P.O.V.The anticipation had been building inside of me like a pressure cooker for days. Ever since Adam had asked me out on our first official date, I had been walking on clouds, replaying the moment he had asked me out in my mind over and over. It was a dream come true, something I had secretly hoped for since our High School days. Twelve years had passed since then, and today was the day it would finally happen. To say that my inner sixteen-year-old self was twirling around throwing rose petals in the air was quite an understatement.My heart raced as I stood in front of the mirror, examining myself from every angle I could see. The outfit was good, my hair and makeup perfect, but all I could see were my jitters manifesting in the twinkle of my blue eyes. And all I could see were worst-case scenarios about me tripping over my own feet or the waiter dropping food all over me during our night out.The knock on the do

Together, we walked out of my hotel room and out to the hotel parking lot, where his red truck was already waiting for us. Like the true gentleman that he was, Adam walked me to my side of the car and opened the door for me. When he slid in the driver’s side himself, he leaned over and kissed me again, the tip of his tongue teasing my bottom lip.“I’m not sure if I can make it through dinner with you looking likethat,” his lips whispered against my own, the pressure in between my legs only building up more. The streetlights cast a warm glow onto Adam’s face, and the night already felt magical. So magical, that I couldn’t help but smile and be genuinely happy for myself.“This is already perfect for me,” I said softly, watching Adam’s eyes twinkle as he looked back at me. That same twinkle that I had never seen in a man’s eyes when he would look at me. I felt my cheeks flush under h

“How is your uncle’s house going?” Koda asked me, walking toward a cooler and grabbing a can of soda for himself. And I took a mental note that since Adam had just installed the refrigerator, I guess we could start loading the fridge in as well, once the boxes were all emptied out.“Good. It’s actually done.” I smiled, referring to my late uncle Ben’s house. I had taken some time to think about my options on what to do with the house that I had grown up in. But once the decision had been made, I had been over the moon and unstoppable.“And we also named it.” I smiled, seeing how Koda’s eyebrows rose up, making him look just like Adam.“I named it ‘Uncle Ben’s Inn’, in his memory.” I smiled, thinking back at the way my uncle’s old house had once looked back in the day, and how I had transformed it into a small bed and breakfast.

Jenna's P.O.V.6 months laterThe sun streamed through the big windows of the kitchen, overlooking the backyard and the woods in the distance, casting a warm glow across the hardwood floors of Gran’s old house, or as we now said; our house. It was a bittersweet morning, one that marked the ending of one chapter, and the beginning of a whole new chapter in Adam’s and my life. Today was official moving day, and we were finally ready to call this place our home.Months of hard work had gone into the remodeling of Gran’s house. Together with Anderson’s Construction, Adam and I had gone into the remodeling of Gran’s house. Together, we had transformed the old, creaky place into a cozy haven of our liking. It was our labor of love, a testament to our commitment to each other, and to the new life we were building together.I walked into the kitchen, savoring the scent of fresh paint and the p

Jenna’s P.O.V.I blinked, waking up and feeling disoriented for a moment because somehow my brain for a second still thought that I was back in Chicago in Jules’ apartment. But as my consciousness slowly returned, I became acutely aware of a new sensation souring through me, bringing me right back into Fairview, into Adam's room.I somehow felt different waking up, but it wasn’t the kind of different that would send alarm bells ringing. It was a good kind of different, a sense of profound calm and security I had never experienced before.The memories of the previous night flooded my mind, the raw intensity of Adam’s mark, and his declaration of claiming me as his mate, forever. The connection we shared had always been undeniable, but somehow seemed nothing compared to what I was feeling for the man right now. I could feel his energy, his warmth, like a warm undercurrent in my veins before I had even touched him or

Adam’s P.O.V.Fuck, if my little mate was about to keep this up, I would blow my load like a fifteen-year-old looking into his first Playboy magazine. My eyes rolled back all the way to where they could probably see my own brains, feeling her bare for the very first time. The tight clench of her pussy, her wetness, fuck… I could even sense my precum marking her already, my scent nesting inside of her. My fucking canines were already coming out and I was only just inside of her.My hips had found a glorious rhythm of rocking in and out of her. The wet sounds of our fucking, the cracking of the bed on the wooden floors, the sweet sounds she was making as I hit her G-spot stroke after delicious stroke, it was all too much for me right now.“Where do you want me to bite you, baby?” I panted, knowing that right now, I wasn’t able to hold on for much longer.

Jenna’s P.O.V.Damn, this man is good, better than good.Hell, does the right word even exist?No… I honestly don’t think so.He slowly climbed over my body, his lips crashing against mine. The weight of his body on mine, the warmth of his skin pressing on me was almost enough to send me over the edge once more. My hands ran down his cheeks as I stopped him for one moment, long enough to look into his eyes.“I want you to mark me,” I told him, letting him know about the final decision that I had made about my future before I got on the plane back to Fairview. Yes, this had been my decision and mine alone. I wanted to be with Adam, that much was true, but I wanted to be with him in every way human or supernaturally possible. I wanted every part of him. And I wanted to be his just as badly as I wanted him to be mine.

Adam’s P.O.V.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm myself and my wolf. I couldn’t help the grin that almost split my face in half, and how my heart skipped a beat and then started to pound like a wild horse. It really felt as if Jenna coming back to Fairview had also brought me back to life after being dead for a week straight. Fuck, I loved this woman with my whole being. And now, I knew for a fact that that was never going to change because she had just told me that she was going to stay right here, with me.When I had seen her sitting on my front porch, I had wanted to race to her immediately. I had wanted nothing more but to scoop her up into my arms, carry her inside the house, and lock the door behind me so she wouldn’t be able to run away from me anymore. But I hadn’t acted on my own selfish feelings or those of my wolf, since at that point I hadn’t realized why she had returned just yet. I mea

I took a deep breath, my questions all coming in a rush now that I knew I was able to ask them.“What does it even mean to be a werewolf? How does it affect you, and your family? How does it affect our relationship?” Adam leaned back, his expression thoughtful as he considered how to explain.“Being a wolf means that we have the ability to transform into wolves whenever we want to. It’s a part of our family history, a secret we have kept to protect those that we care about.”“How does it affect our relationship?” I asked him as he smiled at me. A warm smile filled with love.“In my world, every wolf has one true mate, sort of a soulmate. Wolves are extremely loyal creatures, they find their partner and they stay together for life. It means that no matter what happens, I will always find my way back to you, Gorgeous. Because you are my one true mate. Or as wolves say, you are mine. That

Jenna’s P.O.V.I had just revealed my decision to Adam, as we were sitting on the sofa inside the living room of his family’s house, strangled in each other's arms. I watched his expression closely, anticipation gnawing at me as I waited for his response to me telling him that we had bought his grandmother’s house and that I had done it without his permission. Adam’s eyes widened in surprise, as he stared at me in disbelief.“You… you did what?” She stammered, clearly taken aback by my revelation. I nodded, my heart pounding with nervous excitement, hoping to God that I had made the right choice by doing this as a gift to him.God…Please don’t let him get mad over this…“I know how much that house means to you, Adam,” I explained, reminding him of the conversations we had had about the place. Hell… I could still see t

“I have been searching for you all afternoon,” I confessed to her, my eyes locking onto hers. Jenna’s expression softened at my statement, and surprisingly, she reached out and touched my hand as if she wanted to apologize that I hadn’t been able to find her any sooner.“I’m sorry,” she told me before she swallowed deeply.“I was at Anderson’s Construction almost the entire afternoon for an emergency meeting with the staff.” She added before she looked away from me again. Which made a lump form in my throat that I absolutely hated, because what on earth could be so bad that she needed to look away from me when she would tell me this?“I…” She sighed, pressing her lips into a thin line, while I braced myself for impact.“I decided to sell my uncle’s company.” She nodded, and my heart sank at her words. This was exactly
