The comeback of the wolf 37. Fancy
Reese’s P.O.V.I stood inside the bustling airport, my heart pounding with a mix of anticipation and nervousness. It had been four long weeks since I last seen Caleb, and the separation had felt like an eternity at this point. But today, on Thanksgiving day, we would finally be together again, even if it was just for the weekend. Two precious days of only him and me.My eyes scanned the crowd, searching for the familiar face that held my heart in the sea of people. And there, amidst the sea of travelers, I caught sight of him, Caleb, tall and strong wearing a cap and a pair of sunglasses probably to keep his identity hidden from any sports fans present, weaving his way through the bustling crowd. A wave of relief washed over me as our eyes met and I couldn’t help but smile, feeling my worries fade away as soon as he sent me his million-dollar grin. Caleb’s strides seemed to quicken, and before I even knew it, he was standing right in front of me, his eyes filled with longing. The worl
The comeback of the wolf 38. Thanksgiving
Reese’s P.O.V. His lips captured mine as if he was below water and I was his only way to be able to breathe. “I’ve been counting down the days.” He mumbled while his lips were still on my skin, his hand turning my head so he could have full access to my skin there. The action on his part was both dominating and sexy as hell. Lifting my sweater, since I was now a full Florida girl and every other state would give me the chills, Caleb dropped it on the floor next to him.“We still need to christen my bed.” He grinned at me as he tossed me on his king size bed, my body bouncing on a soft mattress. Caleb stripped off his tshirt and unbuttoned his pants as if he just couldn’t do it nice and slow this time. Hell… who was I trying to fool here? I wouldn’t be able to do nice and slow either this time, which was probably why I was already pulling my pants down in record time. We had both been waiting long enough, and now, we were both done waiting, ready to explode. *** Caleb’s P.O.V. Fuc
The comeback of the wolf 39. Love
Reese’s P.O.V.I woke up the next morning, with a mixture of excitement and curiosity in my heart as I prepared for a day in Caleb’s professional athlete world. Today, I would be accompanying him on a photo shoot and commercial for a new sports drink. His team had been chosen as the ‘mascot’ sort of speak for the new drink, and Caleb along with three other men from their team would be the main faces seen in the advertising for the brand. It was a chance for me to witness firsthand the glamour and demands of his life as a professional hockey player, and everything that came along with the job apart from being on the ice and actually playing the sports.As we made our way to the location, I marveled at the buzzing energy surrounding me. Crew members scurried around, setting up equipment and preparing for the shoot. Flashing lights illuminated the space, casting an air of anticipation and excitement. As we walked through the bustling hallway, Caleb’s hand was firmly clasped in mine, and
The comeback of the wolf 40. a walk in the park
Reese’s P.O.V.After the photoshoot had ended, Caleb retreated to the locker room to change into his regular clothes. He emerged dressed in his casual outfit, a slight sheen of sweat still glistening on his brow. I watched him from a distance, my heart swelling with affection as I witnessed the transformation before my eyes. Next up, the management had set up a meet and greet with Caleb and some of his youngest fans. And I watched him make his way to the designated area for the meet and greet with the children. I followed quietly, not wanting to pull Caleb’s attention away from the little boys and girls that were already waiting for him, their eyes big as they watched their idol walk up to them. The sight that unfolded melted my heart, solidifying a truth that I had come to realize today, which was that my feelings for him had evolved beyond infatuation. That I actually was in love with him.The room buzzed with excitement as a group of eager children, their faces bright and their eye
The comeback of the wolf 41. risking everything
Caleb’s P.O.V.But as I turned myself around in order to see the man who had once broken my one true mate’s heart, I wasn’t prepared for the man standing there to be almost as big as myself. Shit, he might only have a few inches on me, which was quite impressive for a damn human since I was a freaking werewolf in disguise here. The girl that was hanging on his arm had black curls and way too red-looking lipstick for her skin tone, but either way, they both looked pretty happy together.“Kevin?” Reese spoke, feigning surprise on her part. We waited while the other two walked up to us, and it was only then that I realized just who the fucker really was. This wasn’t 'just Kevin', it was freaking Kevin Hayes, pitcher for the Red Tigers. This guy was a fucking big deal in the baseball world. Thank God I was a star player myself or this would have been all sorts of awkward for me…“Talk about living in a small world.” Kevin laughed as he let go of the girl on his arm and he stepped right up
The comeback of the wolf 42. dear Caleb
Reese’s P.O.V.I walked down the stairs of the cold arena, my eyes fixed on the icy surface where Caleb and his team were battling it out. The atmosphere was charged with anticipation, the crowd roaring, never having stopped since Caleb had stepped on the ice. But my heart was heavy with worry, my thoughts consumed by Caleb’s well-being. Only a couple of months had passed since Caleb’s massive knee injury, not even a full year since a devastating blow had shattered his dreams of playing professional hockey ever again. The doctors had advised him not to step on the ice, he had promised me himself that he wouldn’t play, so what had changed his mind now was honestly beyond me.Now, as I watched Caleb glide across the rink, my beath caught in my throat. He moved with a grace that belied his injury, yet each stride sent a jolt of fear through me. The stakes were so high, and this game was pivotal for Caleb’s team, but the coast seemed too great. As the horn blared, signaling the game to go
The comeback of the wolf 43. the alibi
Reese’s P.O.V.I had just finished another long day at school. In order to distract myself, I had poured my heart and soul into my work, but today had been particularly challenging since it was my first day back at the job since my weekend away with Caleb, and even worse, my first day back on the job since I had stepped away from him when he was at the game. I found myself mentally exhausted, longing for the comfort of my cozy apartment and a quiet evening. My mind couldn’t stop spinning, wondering if I had made the wrong choice or not by leaving the game that night. Since I had left back home, Caleb had called me numerous times, but I still hadn’t found the strength to pick up the phone and talk to him. I still needed to figure out what our next step would be and that thought left me mentally drained. As I tidied up my classroom, putting away papers and stacking textbooks, I couldn’t help but let out a contented sigh, glad that the day was finally coming to a close.Just as I was abo
The comeback of the wolf 44. christmas eve
Reese’s P.O.V. The sun hung high in the clear blue sky as Caleb and I strolled along the sandy shore, our footsteps leaving imprints behind us. It had been four weeks since Caleb had returned, four incredible weeks, making it so that at this point, the holiday season was in full swing. The sunny skies and warm water at my feet a stark contrast to the white winter wonderland I had grown up with as a child, but I couldn’t help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation as I experienced my first Christmas in sunny Florida. Palm trees swayed gently in the ocean breeze, their fronds adorned with twinkling lights. The beach was bustling with activity, families and friends soaking up the warmth, laughter echoing in the air. I couldn’t help but smile at the joyous atmosphere that surrounded me. Caleb reached out and took my hand, our fingers entwined as we walked along the shoreline.“What do you think of spending Christmas in the sunshine state, Gorgeous?” he asked me, his voice fille

Caleb’s P.O.V.The sun bathed the garden in a golden glow as I stood at the end of the aisle, my heart racing with anticipation. My brothers, Zach, and Jake flanked me as my groomsmen, their presence a reassurance of the unbreakable bond we shared as siblings. I looked at them, sharing a knowing smile that spoke volumes about our unspoken connection.The doors opened and Reese, a vision of beauty in her flowing white long gown, began her graceful walk towards me. My breath caught in my chest as I took in her radiant smile, her eyes sparkling with love and happiness. Beside her, Dana, her best friend who was also the maid of honor, beamed with pride and joy.The soft melody of a love song filled the air, harmonizing with the beating of my heart. And then, like a little angel, my niece Dahlia stepped forward, clutching a basket of rose petals. She delicately scattered them along the aisle, leaving a fragrant path in her wake. God only knows how many times she had begged both me and Rees

BONUS CHAPTER Reese’s P.O.V. “Are you ready?” I smiled, looking next to me in the car as I watched Dana look in front of her, mouth agape and eyes big in wonder as she took in the place.“What the hell did he do to this place?” She gasped before she looked back at me in awe again.“This must have cost him a fortune.” She added before she opened the door and got out of my car, to which I smiled and did the same, closing up my car before we walked over to the main entrance of the ice skating rink. We stepped into the newly acquired ice rink with a sense of awe. The transformation of this place was nothing short of extraordinary. The once worn-out and almost neglected space had been completely revitalized, thanks to Caleb’s unwavering dedication to turning this place into a fun spot for kids today and in the years to come. I couldn’t help but feel a surge of admiration for his commitment and dedication to creating a haven for young aspiring hockey players. The grand opening of the ice
The comeback of the wolf 55. Epilogue
ONE YEAR LATER.Reese’s P.O.V.A warm Florida breeze rustled the leaves of the trees that lined the driveway leading to our house on the Loup ranch. The sun shone brightly overhead, casting a golden glow on the lush green landscape. It had been a year filled with healing, growth, and rebuilding, and now Caleb and I were ready to embark on a new chapter of our lives. Moving into our own house, together.As the moving truck pulled up in front of our house, I couldn’t help but smile with anticipation. It had been a long journey in order to get the house done, filled with challenges and triumphs, but we had persevered together, and right now, I honestly believed I had never felled so at home as I did in this house. We had put careful thought and consideration into designing our new house on the Loup Ranch. The result was a beautiful home that was both practical and elegant.The exterior of the house boasted a charming blend of stone and wood, blending with the natural surroundings. Steppi
The comeback of the wolf 54. the plan
Reese’s P.O.V.I was just walking into my apartment, holding on to my grocery bags when my phone started buzzing again. I picked it out of my jacket, seeing that it was Dana who was calling me.“Hey,” I greeted her, “Where are you?” She asked me, sounding a bit panicked in a way.“I just got home, why?” I asked her, frowning.“Turn on your TV, right now!” She told me, making me frown even more as I heard the urgency in her voice.“OK,” I answered her, picking up the remote and pressing the power button, seeing how my TV screen came to life, my eyes widened as I saw Caleb’s face on my screen, accompanied by four other men I didn’t recognize.The news anchor’s voice filled my living room.“In a shocking turn of events, professional hockey player Caleb Johnson has pressed charges against his boss, Samuel Hardt, for blackmailing him in order to stay on the team. And now, it seems as though Caleb Johnson isn’t the only one who has been blackmailed. Four other players and the head coach of
The comeback of the wolf 53. the talk
Reese’s P.O.V.I was sitting on my couch, my mind clouded with thoughts of the blackmail and me leaving Caleb behind. The weight of the situation had left me feeling weary and uncertain. I needed time and space to process everything that had happened. But I smiled, as my phone started to ring and I looked down at the screen, seeing Dana’s name. The girl that had grown from a colleague to a friend. The girl that had picked up all of the pieces to my broken heart and was trying her best to put the pieces back together.“What are we watching?” Dana’s voice asked me from the other end of the phone line, making me smile. “I am still doubting between Queen Charlotte or The Bachelor,” I answered her.“But there’s probably more heartbreak in The Bachelor, so I’m going for that one.” I shrugged, hearing Dana’s giggle on the other end of the phone.“Good, I’m right there with you.” She answered me, probably pressing play on her own TV, so even though we aren’t watching it in the same room, we
The comeback of the wolf 52. the proposision
Caleb’s P.O.V.I was staring at all the serious faces. The coach blew out a deep breath, while asshole Samuel Hardt behind his desk was sitting rigid and jerk-like as always. And a sinking feeling about what was about to go down came over me.“Thank you for joining us, Ms Reese. Have a seat.” Samuel spoke as Reese went to sit next to me but didn't look at me.“Why am I here?” She asked, her voice sounding stressed and a bit shaky. And I shifted in my seat, trying to understand what these men were all trying to pull here. Samuel opened up a drawer of his desk, pulling out a white envelope that he placed in front of Reese, who looked up with eyes big in surprise. My heart pounded in my chest as I watched the tense exchange between Reese and Samuel, my very own boss. The atmosphere in the room had almost grown suffocating. What the hell was in the envelope?Samuel leaned forward in his chair, a calculating glint in his eyes.“Reese, I understand you care for Caleb, but we believe your pr
The comeback of the wolf 51. in the office
Caleb’s P.O.VThe first rays of morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a gentle glow upon the room. I stirred in my sleep, the remnants of my wolf’s presence slowly fading as I started to wake up. My mind floated between dreams and wakefulness, my senses still attuned to the lingering connection I had made with Reese last night.MineShe is finally mine…My eyelids fluttered open, as I found myself immersed in the warmth of our shared space, and I couldn’t help but smile. Reese lay beside me, her features relaxed in peaceful slumber. I marveled at her beauty, the way her tousled hair framed her gorgeous face, and how her lips curled into a serene smile. Shit… I had done it, I had been able to pull it off. To mark and claim her without her getting hurt or even worse. I had actually done it! But I frowned as reality slowly started to sink in.she would leave again tomorrow…She would go back home…And I needed to stay here…For another couple of weeks...Shit...Sure, m
The comeback of the wolf 50. Forever
Caleb’s P.O.V.I sat on the bathroom floor, my heart pounding in my chest, as I grappled with the inner turmoil that consumed me. The sound of running water from the shower provided a semblance of solace, the droplets cascading over my trembling body.Seconds…Just seconds…or I had been too late to stop my own wolf…my mind raced with conflicting emotions, torn between my love for Reese and the primal instincts that surged within me. The wolf inside of me yearned to claim Reese as our mate, to mark her as my own. But I feared the consequences of succumbing to my wolf’s desires. If I would ever hurt her, I would never be able to forgive myself. Hell... how would I even be able to live with myself if I would hurt her?I closed my eyes, trying to find clarity inside the chaos. Reese’s face, filled with love and trust, flashed before my mind’s eyes. I couldn’t bear the thought of hurting her, let alone causing her any harm that could be irreversible. Or even worse...kill her, mark her so
The comeback of the wolf 49. let's go
Reese’s P.O.V.Caleb called over Jacob, who had a mischievous glint in his eyes as he stepped closer, immediately approaching Dana. “Dana, meet Jacob, one of my friends and teammates,” Caleb spoke, gesturing towards Jacob.“Jacob, this is Dana, Reese’s very close friend.” He spoke as I saw how Dana’s eyes widened with surprise and a smile bloomed on her face. She extended her hand towards Jacob.“Nice to meet you, Jacob. I have heard a lot about you.” She smiled at him, while Jacob’s gaze lingered on Dana’s hand for a moment, a playful twinkle in his eyes. He took her hand, holding it gently.“Likewise, Dana. It’s a pleasure to finally meet a pretty girl around all these brawny men.” Dana blushed at Jacob's words, her cheeks turning a rosy shade of pink.“Oh, thank you, Jacob.” She smiled while Caleb chuckled, probably already sensing the chemistry between those two.“Why don’t you join us for the celebration? We’ll be heading to the rooftop bar of the hotel. The whole team will be t
