2 years later Two years has flown by, everything happens for a reason but we certainly didn't expect a pandemic and being unable to go into town. I spent a lot of my time helping some of the children with their work, or in the woods shifting and running off my energy and a lot more times in bed with my husband when the children are napping or with the day-care staff.The smell of cinnamon and sugar hangs heavy in the air, a familiar comfort that tells me it's Saturday morning and that Robyn has been baking once again. Jaxon, is in the kitchen arguing with his mother about the batter and what he can and cannot have which I always find funny. He’s a sight to behold, his messy hair, the way his shirt rides up as he bends over in to the fridge, the faint dusting of flour on his body from when Robyn swatted him away. He’s a mess, but he’s my mess is what I always say.Two years. Two years since the world turned upside down, two years since we welcomed Lola into our chaotic, beautiful fami
Tomorrow me and my brother Finley turn 18. I get my wolf tomorrow and I hopefully also find my mate. I work in the packhouse doing jobs that no one wants to do and it gets tiring after a while because they make me do it all by hand."Oi, mutt. this kitchen needs to be cleaned ready for the ball tomorrow"Each year a pack will hold the annual ball and unfortunately for this year our pack will be holding out the event. Great. Just great.My mom and dad don't care about me they are more concerned about the other kids accept me and Fin, were like the black sheep of the family basically.They have never been bothered about us. Even when we tell them that I usually get abused by everyone at work she shows no emotion no nothing. My older sister is everyone's favourite. She's perfect in every way possible."Ouch!" I look up to see the devil in she-wolf form standing with her 6 inch heals on pinning my ankle down to the floor."Are you doing your job properly bitch. We have guests in less than
Esme's POV I got up this morning with nothing but pure excitement. I get my wolf today and I couldn't be anymore happier. Both me and Finn haven't had much good luck over the years so I'm hoping we both find our mate. Wishful thinking. "Good morning Esme! Happy birthday" Finn says with excitement cladding his voice. He's just as hopeful as me. "Morning Finn! You excited for today?" I ask waiting in anticipation for his answer. "I am I'm hopeful to get my wolf today! It's just a shame that I have to work as well" "Yeah I know. Your lips turning blue. How is your bruises on your stomach and back? Have they healed yet?" He asks with concern written on his face. "I'll be okay. It's my birthday today so no one will bother me. I'm very hopeful of that" I hadn't even been at work for an hour and Elisa had summoned me to do the living room floor by hand and also the kitchen floor by hand because they don't like me using the mops. "I expect all of this to be in pristine condition when
Alpha Dylan's POVI've known for the last 7-8 weeks that Esme has been my mate. It's illegal for a wolf to tell an underage wolf that they are there mate. So even if I wanted to reject her I couldn't.I really wanted her sister to be my fated mate she's the one I love not Esme. She's just a lowly omega who works for us doing the shit no one else can be bothered to do. She gets the odd beating if she's not compliant or if the job she's done is not up to standards.She must have her wolf because Jared my wolf is going absolutely wild in the back on my mind. He's wanting to accept her and mate with her but I can't have that. Once she notices me I can tell she already knows I'm her mate but I have to reject her and I have to do it today. Now even."No...No this isn't happening""Out. We need to talk. But not here."She walks outside knowing what's coming I hope. Jared is going wild and it's doing my head in.'She's our mate. She was made for us and she can become stronger. You can train
Jaxon's POVIt's 11:30 am and we have a 5 hour drive up to Waterside pack. In one car is me and my Beta Charlie who is also my brothers. There is 3 years between us but we never wanted to become Alpha he has always preferred to do other duties and feared that he wouldn't be good enough.We're 2 hours into the drive and I'm ready to throw out hunter. Hunter is my gamma and acts as third command of me and Charlie are not here he is in charge and takes care of the major issues and even minor issues."I might find some hot girls tonight you know" Hunter says while flicking through some emails."You know you could at least pretend to make a conversation with them instead of just screw them and leave them" I say without hiding my irritation."Just because you haven't found your mate yet don't mean to say I have to have one""Anyway back to my night at this pack""No more or I throw you out and you walk there""Your such a party pooper Jaxon"'Yeah yeah. Course I am. I'll take been a party p
Esme's POVI'm on my way to work when I get stopped by Adeline. I can't be dealing with her right now my hearts to heavy to listen to her whining about something."Oh poor Esme. Dylan rejected you because he didn't want you so you try to make him jealous by showing up to work with a smile on your face"I turn around waiting for her to carry on but she doesn't, she's stood there trying to make me break. It's working but I certainly won't allow her to see that. Dylan's walking towards the door and I kindly ask her to move."If you don't mind Adeline I have work to do""I do mind. And its Luna to you"Alpha Dylan approaches us and is glaring daggers my way like I have done something wrong. What could i have possibly done to him this time?"I told you not to come into work tonight its for guests and work members." He says so coldly."I am working." I tell him while looking at the floor. "It's only 4:45 alpha I said I would work until 7. Elisa told me she didn't want me slacking so I wont.
Alpha Jaxons POVAfter hearing Dylan's estimated guess on how many pack members he has I was left utterly speechless. In my pack I have a little over 500 members. Each with their own lives, jobs and income and all's I ask if for respect and occasional help if need be."Do you hear yourself? Wouldn't you want to be expanding your numbers instead of selling them?""With all due respect Alpha but you've come to my pack lands and..""On YOUR request. I came here for 2 reasons Alpha and this wasn't apart of my bargaining either. Sort your stuff out. I will sign the treaty and I will take your staff member with me. I also want to see this place expand or I will be pulling us out of this treaty and leaving you to dry on your own. And the next visit I have I don't want to find that your staff members are exhausted and shouted at and made to feel like shit because I have the agreement here with me which states that at any point I see fit to retreat from your pack I can do and shall do with no
Esme's POVIt hasn't been long since I got home. I've been trying to sort out some of the stuff that's been falling apart from rain and storms and sometimes when Aloha Dylan wants a punching bag and I'm unconscious he goes for the walls or the doors.I hear my door being slammed open and I know exactly who it is. He's angry. Majorly angry at that."OI mutt. You're going tomorrow to Another pack."I'm frozen on my spot. I need Finn to come home now. I need him here because Dylan won't be able to hit me if he's here! He wouldn't dare. "Are you listening to me bitch""I can't leave! Finley's here and I can't just leave him here with you on his own. He won't have no one here and I don't want to go"** SLAP **"You disrespect me again you and I'll make him watch the next slap that lands your way is that clear""I don't need you to let him watch! He sees the aftermath of every single beating I get for what? What makes your pack members and omegas any better than me? Apart from that tramp o
