2024-03-17 14:56:24As we entered 'Raw', a steak restaurant over in Brooksville, the warm aroma of freshly cooked meat enveloped us. The decor of the place was elegant yet cozy, setting the stage for a wonderful evening. I couldn’t help but smile as I looked around the table at this vibrant, close-knit family. Eluna and Selene were both still beaming with the pride of their graduation day. They wore matching smiles and a glint of accomplishment in their eyes. Blade, Skye, and Koda were engaged in a lively debate about getting their stuff packed and moved out of the family house, their voices filling the air with enthusiasm. Gran, the true matriarch of the family, sat regally at the head of the table, a twinkle in her eyes as she watched all of her grandchildren. And by the sounds of it, I wasn’t the only one who had figured out that Gran wasn’t her mouthy usual self, since Blade looked over to his grandmother.
“Gran, are you feeling OK?” I heard him as

Jenna’s P.O.V.The afternoon sun streamed through the windows, casting a warm glow over my uncle’s bedroom as I sat on the floor amidst boxes and crates, sorting through the belongings of my late uncle, Ben. Decluttering had become a necessary and emotional task since he had passed away. Each item held a memory, a piece of the man who had raised me when my mother was no longer around. I rolled over the sleeves of my hoodie, it was actually Adam’s, but ever since he had brought it with him to come and spend the night here, I had basically made it my own. And seeing the look in Adam’s eyes whenever I was wearing his hoodie, honestly wasn’t something I minded that much either.or the speed at which he mostly would rip the hoodie off of me as well…I smiled, taking in a deep breath and being able to smell his scent of the sweater. Ever since Eluna and Selene had graduated, it looked as if the en

Adam’s P.O.V.The sun was beginning to set, casting a warm, golden glow through the windows of Gran’s old house. I had spent the entire day helping her pack her belongings as she prepared to move to the elderly home. It was a bittersweet moment, filled with memories of the countless hours I had spent in this house as a child. Gran didn’t seem to mind this moving day at all, all she had done all day was boss my brothers around. The thought of her leaving this familiar place was a difficult one to accept for me. I had been considering buying the house and keeping it in the family, but financial constraints had made it seem like an impossible dream nowadays.As we sorted through her belongings, memories flooded back to me, family gatherings, holidays, and birthday parties, the comforting feeling that came with being inside this house. It was where I had grown up in a way, the place where I had learned many life lessons, and where I had shared

Jenna’s P.O.V.Finding out the truth about my uncle had left me in a state of shock, the awful truth about him keeping my mother’s letters from me, was unraveling before my eyes life a nightmare I just couldn’t escape. The weight of this knowledge lay heavy on my shoulders, and I needed solace, a refuge from the storm of emotions that threatened to consume me.I made my way to Adam’s house. The familiar path that I had driven so many times by now, seemed like an unfamiliar journey into the unknown right now. I just needed Adam, his presence, and the reassurance that only he could provide. God… I just needed to feel his arms around me and the sound of his voice telling me everything would be alright.As I arrived at the Miller house, I was greeted by Eluna who opened the door after I had rang the doorbell.“Hey. Adam’s isn’t back from Gran’s yet.” She told me as she op

My gaze remained fixed on the men standing in the moonlit clearing, their expressions unreadable as Blade started to look around out of nowhere, his head yanking in all directions as he looked alarmed, as if somehow, he could sense me staring at them. I couldn’t tear my gaze away from the window that had given me this shocking view. My hands trembled as I was holding on to the mug, and my breath came in short, shallow gasps. It felt like I had stumbled into a world of secrets and mysteries that I could never have imagined. And just like that, it felt as if time slowed down around me. Adam’s eyes locked onto mine, and I saw the moment of realization dawn in his beautiful brown eyes. His expression was a mixture of surprise and pure panic, and he started to move toward the house, his steps quickening as they turned into running.I stood frozen, unable to tear my gaze away from the approaching figure of Adam. A whirlwind of emotions churned within me. F

Adam’s P.O.V.As Jenna walked away from the house, each step that she took away from me felt like a heavy blow to my heart. The moon cast a cold, silvery glow on the path before her, and her figure grew smaller and smaller until she stepped into her car and disappeared into the night completely.And I fucking let her go...Because all that time, I had just stood there, rooted in place, the weight of her absence pressing down on me. The truth had torn us apart, and I couldn’t help but feel that I had let the love of my life slip through my fingers by keeping this secret from her. My one true mate. The one that my wolf needed, in order to survive.The pain of her departure was like a knife being pressed deep into my chest, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that I had lost her forever by her finding out the secret I had kept hidden from her, especially in the way that she had discovered the truth.

“Eluna,” I sighed, reaching out to place a hand on her shoulder,“This isn’t your fault. You were just being a good host, and I appreciate that. But I was too reckless, too careless to show my wolf out in the open like I did. I should have been more careful, especially with the possibility of Jenna being around now. If it wouldn’t have happened tonight, it would have happened another night.” I spoke as she looked at me, her eyes welling up with tears.“I just don’t want to see you hurting, Adam. You love Jenna so much, and I can’t bear to see you suffer like this. For the first time since I can remember, you looked so happy. And I can't see you go downhill again.” She admitted as I offered her a reassuring smile, despite feeling dead on the inside.“I know you care about me, Eluna, and I appreciate that. But right now, I need to focus on finding a way to make Jenna understand why I did

Adam’s P.O.V.It was a cloudy day, even for summer, casting eerie shadows across the empty road as I clenched the steering wheel of my old pickup truck. The events of last night replayed like a cruel nightmare in my mind, and I couldn’t escape the guilt that gnawed at my heart. Jenna, the love of my life, had discovered my secret, that I was a werewolf. The raw pain in her eyes as she had fled from my house was etched into my memory, and it was tearing me apart.Raindrops began to patter against the windshield, matching the drumbeat of my racing heart. I had spent the entire night in my room, forcing myself and my wolf not to run after her, my thoughts a whirlwind of confusion, self-loathing, and regret. But as the storm clouds gathered overhead this morning, I knew I couldn’t hide any longer. I needed to see Jenna, to explain myself to her, to beg for her forgiveness, or at least try to talk to her.With every mile

“Gorgeous?” I stammered, my voice trembling as I couldn't look away from the luggage as if it was a death sentence.“What’s the suitcase for?”Jenna hesitated, her eyes downcast.“I… I need some distance, some time away to figure things out. I can’t stay here right now.” She said as her own voice cracked.NO!no, no, no, no!My heart shattered into a million pieces. I had hoped for the chance to rebuild our relationship, but now it seemed like that chance was slipping away.“Are you… are you leaving me?” I asked, my voice barely audible.Jenna’s tears flowed freely now as she nodded.“I don’t know if we can ever go back to the way things were between us.” She said.“I need to find myself again, and you ne

“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
