His words made my heart ache in the best way. I cupped his face in my hands, forcing him to meet my gaze.

“ Jack,” I said softly. “ I’m here. I’m real. I never knew what it felt like to love someone — not until I met you. The day I saw you by the lake, something inside me changed. I didn’t understand it at first, but when you kissed me earlier… I knew. I’m in love with you.”

His eyes widened slightly before a brilliant smile broke across his face.

“ Oh, my sweet Allie,” he whispered

    His words made my heart ache in the best way. I cupped his face in my hands, forcing him to meet my gaze. “ Jack,” I said softly. “ I’m here. I’m real. I never knew what it felt like to love someone — not until I met you. The day I saw you by the lake, something inside me changed. I didn’t understand it at first, but when you kissed me earlier… I knew. I’m in love with you.” His eyes widened slightly before a brilliant smile broke across his face. “ Oh, my sweet Allie,” he whispered, pulling me into his arms. “ You don’t know how much I wanted to hear that.” He kissed me again, this time with tenderness instead of hunger. His lips moved softly against mine, full of warmth and promise. When the kiss deepened, I felt myself melting into him, but he gently pulled away. “ We should stop,” he murmured. “ Before things go too far.” I nodded, touched by his restraint. He could have easily taken advantage of the moment — but he didn’t. And that only made me fall for hi

    I shake my head quickly. “ No, it’s not you. It’s me. I’ve just… never been with anyone before.” He stares at me, as if trying to process what I said. “ Wait — you mean… you’ve never…?” Heat floods my face. I can’t meet his eyes. “ You’re still a virgin,” he says softly, his tone filled with awe rather than judgment. I nod silently, expecting disappointment — but instead, his expression softens. He lifts my chin gently, so I’ll look at him. “ My sweet Allie,” he says quietly. “ You have nothing to be sorry for. You’re more than I could’ve ever hoped for — pure, kind, and beautiful. I’ll wait for you. No matter how long it takes.” His words melt every last bit of fear in me. Jack and I sat together on the couch for a while, just talking. It felt nice — natural — to finally get to know him better. We talked about his work, his family, and how one day he would take over the family business. Like me, Jack was an only child, and we discovered we had so

    Jack just asked me to come with him to see his lake house, and I said yes. “ Would you mind if I take a quick shower first? I’ve been working in the garden, and I probably smell like sweat,” I say, embarrassed. He smiles softly. “ No, not at all. Take your time. I’ll be here talking with your uncle.” I rush upstairs and jump into the shower, washing as quickly as I can. Even though Jack said I could take my time, I don’t want him to wait too long. I pick out a pair of long jeans and an olive-green T-shirt, tying a small knot in the front so it doesn’t hang too low. Then I slip on my brown leather gladiator sandals with gold circle plates that match perfectly. At the dresser, I put on medium-sized golden hoop earrings to go with the sandals and spray a little of my new perfume, Pink Happiness, on my neck and wrists. I even dab on a touch of mascara and lip balm so my lips don’t look dry. When I’m finally ready, I grab my brown leather backpack and head downstairs

    “ Oh, that’s nice,” she said warmly. “ You should stay for good. Maybe we could get coffee sometime.” “ I’d love that.” We ended up chatting for nearly an hour—about work, family, and small-town life. Before I left, we exchanged numbers. I hadn’t realized how much I’d missed having a friend. With the rest of my errands done, I headed back toward my car. A For Sale sign in a shop window caught my eye. I peeked inside and saw a small but cozy space with wide windows and wooden floors. Instantly, I imagined it as a gift shop filled with handmade items, coffee brewing in the corner, and the smell of fresh pastries. My heart raced at the thought. Maybe… this was something I could do. The whole drive back, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. As soon as I reached the farm, I unloaded the car and went to the stables, where Uncle Buck was brushing the horses. “ Hi, Uncle,” I said, grabbing another brush to help him. “ Hey there, sweetheart. You look excited. Did

    There is power in patience, in watching a person bloom under your care. I have seen that power in my wolf-lore many times. I know how fierce love can be—how it can build or burn. I would choose to build. For now, I would watch from shadows and tend the lines the elders drew. I would send my guards—to keep an eye from a distance, not to imprison her. Matt would help, of course. He is loyal. He also sees how this soft human has changed me—how I grow restless without her. When I think of the future, I imagine bringing her to the pack under my own terms. I imagine sitting with her under a full moon while she learns our customs and our rules. It will not be easy. The other packs will challenge us. There will be sneers from the old guard. But when I close my eyes, I see only her face, and my doubts fade. So I go to bed that night with a quieter mind than I’ve had in years. My wolf paces less. The ache is different now—call it hope, call it promise. Tomorrow I will visit Buc

    He gives me a small smile. “ Anytime.” As he turns to leave, I can’t stop myself. “ Are you walking home in the dark?” “ I like walking under the stars,” he replies. I nod, smiling nervously. “ Be careful out there.” He winks — and just like that, my heart drops straight to my stomach. ---- Jack’s POV Morning comes early when you carry the weight of a pack’s future on your shoulders. As Alpha Prince of the Salt Rock pack and the one who will one day sit on the throne, there is no such thing as a lazy dawn. My father has been training me for years—grooming me to take over his duties so that when he steps down, the pack will not falter. The elders respect him; I want them to respect me the same way. In werewolf years, twenty-six is old enough to have a mate. Most male werewolves find theirs between sixteen and twenty-two. I have searched every corner of the territories, visited ever
