Cozy Morning On The Farm

Autumn break came soon enough and Jackson and Wren were heading to Jackson’s grandparents. They promised to fill Liam and Zain in as soon as they could and then they hit the road. Wren dozed on and off in the passenger seat. Jackson cursed the fact that Wren didn’t know how to drive and resolved to teach him soon.Though, having Wren be able to fall asleep next to him while in human form was kind of nice. It had nothing to do with the fact that Jackson could take in Wren’s peaceful sleeping face as much as he wanted like this. And nothing to do with the way Wren would wake up and blink sleepily at him before his almost-smile made its appearance. Nothing at all to do with the way his heart didn’t know how to stay in its rhythm every time it happened.They got to his grandparents right around midnight. The light on the porch was on. Jackson pulled his car behind his grandpa’s old beater work truck and nudged Wren awake. Wren blinked blearily

Breakfast

Jackson could hear the bacon sizzling in the kitchen as they stepped out of their room. The house was warm and comfortable and Jackson loved it here.The table was piled high with a large selection of breakfast foods. Grandma Rose was at the stove flipping bacon. “Good morning, Grandma. Grandpa already busy?”She smiled at him. “You know him. Can’t sit still to save his life, that man.”Jackson gestured for Wren to sit next to him at the table. Grandma Rose brought the plate of bacon over to join the rest of the feast filling the table then moved back to the stove. “I think you overestimated how hungry we are,” Jackson said.Grandma Rose just smiled wider and brought a steaming cup over to set next to Wren. “Coffee’s in the pot. Jackson said you prefer tea, Wren, so I brewed you a cup. I’m afraid we only have chamomile tea on hand, but I’ll pick up more next time I go to town.”

Try Again

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Jackson slammed his hand against the steering wheel then fell forward against it. Fuck.Nathaniel wanted a 45% share in Jackson’s product. 45%. Jackson couldn’t do that. He needed this product, the money from it, to save werewolves. He couldn’t do that if 45% of his expected profits were going straight into this rich asshole’s pocket. And now… now he had to go back, look Wren in the eyes and tell him that they were going to have to wait and keep looking. Keep trying. Figure out a way to get enough of a start up fund themselves that they wouldn’t need any investors.He’d have to tell Liam and Zain that this way wouldn’t work out. That it’d be even longer before Zain would be able to be freed from the collar. Longer before they could transfer out of their college and to a college in Mendota.“Fuck!” He slammed his fist against the wheel again, then started the car. I

Absolutely Not

“We just need him to believe I’ve had a change of heart!” Jackson paced around his and Wren’s room that night as he thought out loud. Wren sat on the bed and watched him patiently. “If I make him believe that it worked, that sticking me in the poor dorms and restricting my access to my money has made me see that money is the most important thing in life, then maybe...”Jackson collapsed on the foot of the bed. Wren still hadn’t moved.“If I tell him I want to start investing myself. That Grandpa heard of a great deal on a successful hotel...” Jackson grimaced. “If I let him have access to building and marketing my soundproo-”“No,” Wren interrupted him.“No?” Jackson flipped over onto his side. Wren was staring carefully at his knees. His breathing was measured in a way Jackson hadn’t seen in a while. “Why no?”Wren swallowed. His jaw clenche

Communication

Feeding the pigs was just as much fun as Jackson remembered. They rooted in the grass in search of the food Jackson had tossed at them. Their ears bobbed as they walked around. Wren didn’t appear to find it quite as amusing as he did though, so Jackson tossed a couple more chunks of apples to them and turned to Wren. “So, there’s a creek that Mom used to take me to swim and play in. Want to go see it?”Wren’s lips lifted in his almost-smile and Jackson grinned back. There wasn’t really much to do on the farm, but that was kind of why Jackson liked it.“All right! Let’s pack a lunch? It’s a little bit of a walk.”Grandma Rose packed them a lunch, a quilt, and towels into a basket. “It might be a little chilly for swimming, but just in case,” she said when Jackson protested.Wren carried the basket. The sun was warm on Jackson’s head, but he was thankful for his jacket when the wi

Car Ride

Jackson and Wren hugged Grandma Rose and Grandpa Frank goodbye and headed back for the college. They hopped through a drive-through for lunch. The last of the fries had just been finished when Wren cleared his throat.“I have two younger siblings.”Jackson carefully kept his eyes on the road. Wren hadn’t really talked about his family before and Jackson didn’t want to interrupt.“Is it possible, I don’t know how it works, but would you be able to find out if they’re…” Silence. Jackson knew if he were to look over, he’d see Wren’s brows crinkled. “I just want to know if they’re still alive. Or how they’re doing.”“I can try,” Jackson said. It wasn’t anything he could promise. There was a higher chance of being able to find them since they were wild caught, but there were many reasons wolves disappeared from the database. “I’ll do what I

It's Wren's Choice

Their dorm room smelled stale from being shut up for the week, but it was too late and too cold to open the window and air it out. Jackson shivered and wished he would’ve gotten the thick curtains he’d talked about. Curling up under two quilts and a warm werewolf was enough for now, but once winter really hit, Jackson didn’t know how he was going to handle it.Jackson woke up to Wren grumbling and someone pounding on the door. Wren huffed and moved enough so Jackson could get up, but stayed curled up on their bed. Jackson jerked the door open.Liam stood with a wide grin and four coffees in a to-go carrier. “Mornin’!”Jackson stared at him, turned to look at the clock, then turned back to Liam. “Can I fucking help you?”Liam laughed and pushed his way into the room. Zain gave him an apologetic smile and followed Liam in. “Missed you too, Rich Boy. I brought coffee so you can’t be mad.”

It's A Good Thing

Zain looked up at Wren. “I don’t like the idea of it. I don’t want you to get hurt or have to hurt others, but…” His voice trailed off. “If it’s something that you want to do then I think you should get to do it. Every day that passes by, more unlucky wolves are sold into situations that they will never get out of. Just don’t let this be a rash decision. Take some time and really think about if it’s something you want to do.”Jackson couldn’t believe it. Liam was looking convinced. It was three against one. They actually thought Wren should do this. “No,” Jackson whispered. “I can’t -”“It’s not about you.” Liam was firm, but kind. “It’s not about you, and using your connection with Wren to try to change his mind and do what you want to do is not ok.”Shame burned deep in Jackson’s gut at the words. “I didn’t - I

Mendota Immigration Law

Jackson had his laptop open in front of him and a steaming cup of coffee to the side. The coffee shop was busy. He had been lucky to get a seat at all, let alone one tucked nicely into the corner. The site he’d briefly looked over, way back when he first got Wren, was pulled up.He was scrolling through the various articles on the site, but mostly he was looking at the photos. The Database of Collared Wolves shouldn’t be accessed on public wifi and Jackson wanted to put off searching for any specific ID numbers, anyway. So scanning through the rescued wolves website was his best bet for public searching.He didn’t expect anything to come of it. There were countless wolves in the fighting circles. Countless. The chances of Wren’s little brother being saved by this group was next to none, and the chance of them having a convenient picture up was even slimmer.“Think you’ll do it?” Liam slipped into the seat next to him wit

Growth

The space heater made a small difference, but a noticeable one. Jackson turned it off at night. He didn’t want to start a fire and have to go down the death trap of a fire escape. But during the evening hours when the chill was really starting to set in, it was pure heaven to be able to wrap a blanket around himself and enjoy the warmth blowing on him.Wren never seemed to feel the cold. He never complained about it. He never shivered. He never asked to get under the blankets. Jackson was jealous. Jackson was made for warm sunshine. He wanted the heat on his skin. Not the tingling numbness of being too cold.The passing of a week brought a fifteen degree temperature drop. Frost glistened on their window in the morning light. Jackson could see his breath when he and Liam walked to class in the morning. Liam was just as bundled up as he was, so at least Jackson wasn’t the only one wimping out over the shift in weather.Wren was curled up on the bed tak
