2024-03-02 15:00:29“You’ve always seemed to love living in Fairview. Have you ever thought about what you’d like to do in the future, like staying here or moving elsewhere?” I asked him as he smiled, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes as he gazed out the window of the kitchen. “I really do love this small town. There’s something about the sense of community, the way everyone living here has somehow become a part of our family that I’ve come to cherish ever since my parents died. So I honestly never considered moving away after my parents died.” He spoke as I nodded, understanding where he was coming from. Adam’s fingers traced patterns on his chopsticks, a thoughtful expression on his face. “Lately, however, there is something I’ve been thinking about.” He admitted.

Jenna’s P.O.V.After decluttering for about an hour after finishing our Chinese food, Adam promised to bring me back to my hotel like the perfect gentleman that he was. And right now, as I was back inside my hotel room, it felt as if my mind was working in overdrive, as I was consumed with so many questions and thoughts. For one, I was seriously doubting checking out at the hotel and just moving into my Uncle Ben’s house for the time being. A part of me felt ready, even though I had only been inside his house once, and that had been with Adam by my side. I never had been alone in that house for over an hour ever since my Uncle Ben had died, and I started to doubt if maybe spending the night all alone, would actually be the final drop that would make the bucket too full and it would end up with me a being a sobbing and heartbroken mess.Two, I also couldn’t help but go over the conversation Adam and I had had durin

Adam’s P.O.V.The dim glow of the TV screen flickered across the darkened room as I was lying in Jenna’s bed. Her breathing was even and deep as her head was resting against my shoulder, and her arm was securely wrapped around my waist as if a part of her was afraid that I would leave her, not that I ever would. Her chest rose and fell as it was nested against my own, our hearts beating together as one. After our shower, neither of us had the energy to leave the hotel room, so we just crawled into bed as if it was normal and something we did every day, not that I would mind if it was. We had talked a bit and shared room service pizza while watching a movie, but it had only taken about half an hour before Jenna’s breathing had become deeper and I knew she had fallen asleep in my arms, right where she belonged to be.I looked down at her as she was sound asleep in my arms, wondering if whenever she looked in the mirror, she saw

Jenna’s P.O.V.With a few weeks of pure loving bliss between Adam and me, spring had officially rolled into the small city of Fairview. Jackets had made way for thick winter coats, and I couldn’t leave my house without wearing mittens or a scarf.my houseIt still felt weird to say it like that…The decision to move into my late uncle’s house had been both practical and sentimental. Financially, it made more sense than continuing to stay in the hotel where I had taken refuge after inheriting the property. But there was more to it than just economics, it was a step towards embracing the legacy he had left behind for me. A chance to breathe life back into the old place that deserved people to live in it.My days were mostly filled with work, the demands of my job at Anderson’s Construction kept me occupied from morning till evening. It was hard and tiring work,

“Well, I’m honored to be a good enough reason for you to abandon your students during their period.” But he just shrugged, his grin never fading.“They’ll manage without me for a few minutes. So, what brings you to the halls of our school today, Miss Anderson?” He asked me as I gestured toward the library entrance.“I came to see the final result before the painters came in, Mr Miller.”Adam’s eyes sparkled with genuine interest.“I can’t wait to see it when it’s all finished. Principal Carter told me he wanted to put the opening together with the graduation party, so that gives us a couple more weeks extra in case something would set us back.” Adam spoke, to which I nodded, somehow feeling relieved by this news. Graduation, we could definitely make that deadline.“Who knows, the gym teacher might bring the CEO of Anderson’s Construction as his p

Adam’s P.O.V.The woods seemed to come alive even more whenever I was in my wolf form. Our family pack was weaving gracefully through the ancient trees and up the mountains. As we ran in unison, I could feel the exhilaration in the air, the magic of our connection both as siblings and as wolves. Koda, my younger brother, dashed ahead of me, his midnight dark fur a big contrast against the green grass that was surrounding us. I couldn’t resist the challenge and picked up my own pace, my own jet-black fur blending seamlessly with the shadows of the trees.Selene, our little sister, followed closely behind us, her presence a comforting presence in our heads.It has been too long since we did this!She laughed in our heads as she sent out a mind link, speaking to us all through our bond as packmembers of the same pack, her excitement so high it made even my own wolf smile. Our family bond ran deep, and on days

“Let’s not forget the chocolate bunnies and cookies. We need to make sure Jenna feels warm and welcome.” She spoke as she patted my arm, making me smile as I heard the way my baby sister was speaking about the love of my life. In a way, they could be a handful, but I still loved them all dearly and I wouldn't want to change anything about them. Not even Blade or Skye.“Jenna’s not five. But thank you though.” I nodded, following her downstairs into the kitchen. Somehow, I just couldn’t shake my nerves. Jenna was special to me, and I wanted everything to be perfect for her tonight as well.Just as I made it down the stairs, the front door opened and Gran walked inside. I almost immediately noticed the glint of mischief in her eyes, and I wondered if she already had something to drink back at home with Mindy before coming here. Knowing her, she probably did. The little minx.“Gran.”

Jenna’s P.O.V.I stood on the doorstep of Adam’s family house, clutching a bottle of champagne in my hands because my uncle had raised me to always bring a gift when being invited to a party. The crisp spring air clung to my skin as I stood on the doorstep of Adam’s house, but it was the fluttering of butterflies in my stomach that truly made me feel the cold tonight. Or maybe it was the fact that I had decided to wear a skirt instead of pants for this festive occasion? But I was right to be feeling nervous, this was my first Easter with Adam and his family, and I couldn’t help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness at the same time.Adam had been the steady rock in my life for a couple of weeks now. The idea that he wanted me to be a part of his cherished family traditions, filled me with a sense of belonging I had so longed for as a child growing up. The sun was beginning its descent, casting a warm glow over the grass fields surrounding

“That’s amazing Koda!” Eluna yelped, standing up to hug her brother immediately."And if you still have a job opening, it's mine, right?" She added, seeing how Koda smiled back at her as if it was already a done deal between them.“Congratulations, your dream is finally becoming a reality.” Selene smiled, hugging her brother as soon as Eluna had let him go.“This is quite the undertaking, Koda. Have you thought everything through?” Adam asked him, his fatherly role popping up. But The squeeze he gave my hand underneath the table, made me realize that Adam was in fact, very proud of his brother’s decision.“I went over to Barry and had another serious conversation with him, about what I saw in the future of his place, and how I want to run it, and he got all emotional once I was done and finally accepted. He told me that he was happy, that he can now finally retire and move to Florida with his wife.” He

“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
