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

Jenna’s P.O.V.After dinner had concluded, Adam and I began to clear the table together, carrying dishes and leftover platters into the kitchen. The room was still filled with the pleasant aroma of our festive meal, and the sound of laughter and stories continued from the living room where the rest of the family lingered, talking about their future plans.As we worked side by side, Adam’s fingers brushed mine, and he sent me a mischievous grin that hinted at an ulterior motive on his part. With a swift glance over his shoulder to make sure that nobody was watching us, he grabbed my hand and tugged me gently toward the laundry room behind us.“Hey,” he whispered, his voice filled with playful intent.“Hey,” I copied him, amused by his sudden change of plans, especially when he closed the door and locked it behind him. He turned to face me again with a grin that was equal part devio

Adam’s P.O.V.The soft glow of the morning sun filtered through Jenna’s curtains, casting a warm golden hue across the room. I stirred, blinking against the light as I slowly became aware of my surroundings. I felt the soft warmth of blankets and the unmistakable sensation of Jenna’s presence beside me. A soft smile tugged at my lips as I turned my head to look at her. There she was, her blonde hair splayed across the pillow, her face peaceful in slumber as she was lying on her tummy, her arms tucked underneath her pillow. She looked like an angel, and I couldn’t feel like the luckiest man alive.Home...she asked me to come to her home.In my book, this was a massive step in the right direction. Last night, we didn't end up in the same bed purely out of lust for each other, she had asked me to spend the night with her, wanting me to be with her. I leaned in closer, pressing a kiss to her forehead, h

“Our first date might have been a bad date, but overall, that date made me leave that coffee shop, more determined than ever to come after you and make you mine. After sharing that cup of coffee, I knew just how badly I really wanted you.” I told her the truth, seeing how her eyes seemed to melt as she looked at me while telling the story.“A thunderbolt?” She asked me, smiling as she looked at the second pendant on the bracelet.“We shared our first kiss during a thunderstorm,” I told her matter-of-factly, but she started to shake her head at me, wanting to tell me how I was wrong because our first kiss was shared in High School and I was just an ass who just couldn’t remember it, I quickly placed my finger on her lips. Shit… I still hoped one day I would be able to make her forget about that.“Our first kiss that actually mattered,” I told her, seeing her smile at me as her eyes started

Jenna’s P.O.V.As I made my way towards the High School building, the anticipation in my chest felt like a swarm of butterflies taking flight. Today was not just an ordinary day, it was a culmination of months of planning and preparation, a day that would hold a special place in my heart for a long time to come. It marked the grand opening of the library and a double celebration, the graduation party of Adam’s two sisters. But for me, it held a significance that transcended the joy of the occasion.Weeks had already passed since Adam and I had made our relationship official to all of Fairview. And the past weeks had been nothing short of magical in my book, maybe that was why it felt as if time was just flashing by us. Every moment spent with Adam felt like a cherished memory in the making. We had navigated the delicate dance of love and commitment, and the connection between us had only deepened with time. I cared about Adam more than I had ever cared abou

“Look, there’s Adam right there.” Skye pointed toward the stage, where my hot-as-sin boyfriend was standing tall in his formal attire, ready to assist in handing out diplomas along with his fellow colleagues. His expression was a mix of excitement and concentration. And he looked just as handsome as ever in his own unique way. And even after weeks of being in a committed relationship, whenever he spotted me, grinned at me, or even just waved at me, my heart still skipped a beat on receiving his attention. Gran must have seen our small interaction since she raised an eyebrow playfully while nudging me.“Jenna, stop swooning over that man standing on that stage. People will start talking.” She told me in a playful tone, to which I laughed. Since I already knew Adam and mine’s relationship already was the talk of the town these days. I guess that was what happen

Jenna’s P.O.V.The anticipation was electric, as I stood before the grand entrance of the new High School’s library. It was a momentous occasion, not only for the entire community of Fairview but also for me personally. This was a project that my company had poured its heart and soul into, a project that honored the memory of my late uncle, Ben.As the invited guests began to gather around the entrance, I couldn’t help but feel a swell of pride and gratitude. This library was more than just bricks and mortar, it was a living tribute to my uncle’s passion and love for books. It was a testament to the values he had instilled in me, the values that had shaped my journey, and my determination to carry on his legacy after he had passed.The ribbon-cutting ceremony was about to begin, and I was joined by dignitaries, educators, and members of the community. The giant scissors glinted in the light of the stage lights displaye

“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
