Wolves of the same fur

Jake POVThe dinner was a party. Guests were invited. Though only a handful. All of them, close friends of the family. I knew everyone except the male sticking near Jet Chase. Pack members wouldn't take it well that Jane was conceived at a time when Rudy should've been impregnating his own Luna. Rather than flaunt his daughter before them, which was improper, it was better if they gossiped and spread rumors without confirmation. The Crescent Chief of the Elders Council was in attendance. He smiled warmly at Jane, taking her hand to welcome her to the household.The ambience felt like a coming of age feast. Jet stuck beside Jane while Nasir and a Crescent female guard moved about in the shadow, keeping an eye on her.Elise was in attendance. Her curiosity was evident. Lily must’ve relayed the whole story. Not only did she wish to see the Chase daughter. But she wanted to know the girl I was finally settling down with. It was obvious from the look she kept giving me.When our eyes met

Wolves of the same fur (cont.)

"Miss Chase," the male said with eyes moving from me to Jane. "Having a nice time? You made another friend, I see." "Oh, I've known Jake before today," Jane replied quickly. He offered his hand. "Tim Attwood, Alpha heir of the Mountain Creek." "Beta Jake of the Forest Moon," I took his hand firmly. "Ah, the famous Forest Moon. Your Alpha is newly mated, I hear. To an omega. His college sweetheart." "Yes. Remind me again, your father's name?" That was my way of insinuating that his pack was so inferior and insignificant that I didn't know the Alpha's name. Honestly, I couldn't recall the male's name, and I refused to make an effort. "Alpha Aren," he replied with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "Right." Derek appeared then. I was grateful as he took Jane's hand to lead her away. "Janey, the twins are awake. Come see what I was telling you." "You two excuse me," she said. When it was just me and Mister Alpha heir, his hostility became apparent. He saw me as

Fourteen days

Jake POV"Yeah, the exact same fur," I repeated."That's cool," Nick's said, eyes moving over his mate. "I guess." Then he reached out and smoothed the fur on Sara’s head. I reminded myself that soon, I would know the pleasure of doing the same to Jane. The Young Luna purred, her eyes falling half-close as she revelled in her mate's touch. Then she said,'I wish Jane could've returned with you.""Me too," I breathed. 'I can not wait to see her.' Her tone grew more excited. 'How incredible it is that she turned out to be Golden Crescent's first daughter.'Yeah, indeed. Just my f××king luck!I almost found myself wishing that she wasn't. We'd be together now if she was the simple town girl I first thought her to be. Brushing aside my frustration, I began to head inside.'Hang in there,' Nick whispered.He must've sensed my frustration at being without my mate. As I was entering the cave, he called out,"Jake."I turned around."I'm happy for you. I'm glad she's finally free. And you

Fourteen days (cont.)

"Actually, they're the homemakers among us. The gatherers in the olden days. But these days, they're our nurses, cooks and caregivers and landscapers, etcetera. All of those professions that require gentleness and... care.""Wow, a very organized species, indeed," Jane laughed. "Dora mentioned that Sara is a symbol of hope. Now that I think about it...""Yeah, they're considered low class and looked down upon. Sadly. In most packs," I explained. It was a joy to tell her things about our kind. "That's lame," she muttered."Totally!" I breathed."Unfortunately, our world values physical strength above other things. Although, in truth, everyone knows that a pack couldn't function without the omegas. They're as important as the rest of us. It's like in the human world. Where most men consider women inferior because they're built softer. Physically, at least.""Women are strong, Jake," I could feel her rolling her eyes."They are," I said. "But it's a different kind of strong. You know w

The ex fling

Jake POVI was careless, damn it! This type of scenario was the reason wolves like me preferred human girls for casual flings. They were far less demanding and had pride. They understood self-respect. If you didn't return their calls, they took the hint and never bothered you again. She-wolves were a different matter entirely. They pretended to move on until another female came into the picture. Basically, by their logic, you weren't allowed to date anyone until they were happily mated and settled. I'd set things straight with Sara's former lawyer, the only person I felt needed dealing with. I guess I should've added the doctor to that list. But I'd been too busy to remember that she expected a callback or another round.Too many people were in the way as I all but leapt towards Jane and her. For the first time since the party started, I hated the fact that the place was crowded. Getting through to quickly get to my wife was a chore. A few people wanted my attention as I passed by t

The ex fling (cont.)

"Petal," I began to explain. "She's uhm... part of my past."Rather than anger like last time, my mate was hurt. Which seemed more difficult to deal with. "You two can do the mind talk?" She asked breathlessly. "Isn't that supposed to be among people with whom you're very close.""If you sleep with someone, you start to hear each other. Mated or not. Close or not," I replied."So you two can hear each other. What other random b!+.ch around here can talk intimately with you?" Digust twisted her features."None!" I replied. " Except her, I swear. And her voice is too vague to count, wife. I assure you that the distance will grow back to what it used to be. After a short time. You wanna know why? Because she means nothing to me. There can never be a repeat of what we did. And I don't spare her one second of my daily thoughts. Given time, she and I won't be able to mindlink at all, I promise you. That's how it's works."I could feel her coldness towards me as I spoke. It was the most hor

Her old home

Jane POVIt felt like I'd been gone for years even though I was only away for a few days. The town felt different, though I knew it was me who had changed.My mom was thrilled that I was back. Her pride made her hid it well but I could sense it. Things were awkward between us. After everything, I felt sorry for how I reacted. For making her the enemy. I still hated the fact that she lied all those years. However, my dad was right. She had good reasons to. The one thing that really eased my mind where she was concerned these past few days was that Benji had come like he promised. At least, she hadn't been all alone, thinking about our fight, worrying that I may never come home again.To her credit, she wasn't hostile towards Jake when I formally introduced them. She even did her best to hide any sign of reproof when she learned that we were married. Jake and I noticed it though. It didn't matter. The fact that she made an effort not to judge and complain meant she'd grown more respec

Her old home (cont.)

"Jane." It was Avery."Sergeant, you're back," I said.Someone was with him. A girl I'd met before. Jake's little sister. I remembered her well. "How are you? Uncle Jerry told me something..." He trailed off as his eyes moved about, noting Nasir and Aya first, then Jake who stood leaning confidently by a tree decorated with colorful ribbons. His eyes lingered on the hubby before moving to Rudy."So nice to see you, Ave. I see your vacation went pretty well." I tried to pull his focus back to me."So did yours. I mean, damn, gurl, so it is true. You are a princess!" His voice rang with laugher. Then he noticed my gaze shifting to the girl beside him and quickly said,"Oh, yeah. This is Aylin Carlisle, my mate."My eyes widened as he went on,"Aylin, this is Jane Brown, my friend.""Oh, we've met," she said. "I hear she's Jane Carlisle now."It was Avery's turn to be shocked. His brow furrowed as his eyes moved back to Jake. The hubby stood with one hand in his pocket, staring at the

The tryst

Jake POVI could not think or concentrate on work or do anything. After tonight, Jane would not shift till the next full moon. In two days, she would return to Tauranga to wait for me to go bring her to our home. Not to mention, this was her first run in these woods in this town where Goddess brought us together.So I could not stay away, even though I knew well the effects of being near her after dusk. I considered hiding, shielding myself from the three, especially because of Aya, the tight a$s. I considered following my mate unnoticed while hoping to catch her alone, even if for only one minute. She was meeting her best friend. As a gentle-male, I should give them space to enjoy their girls-night-out in peace.These rational thoughts didn't make me turn back around to return to my desk at the resort. Work was waiting for me there. It would wait some more. I was starving. And not the type that required conventional food.I had to have her. I needed to touch her. Just a little. May

The tryst (cont.)

'I know you're losing your mind, but they need this,' Nick said gently.'I'm not going with them,' I lied. 'Just... going for a run myself.'Was my frustration that obvious. Of course, it was that obvious. I doubted Nick understood what I felt. He didn't have to wait like I did. No one ever stood in his way of claiming what was rightfully his. His girl had his mark before her father could say mississipi. But here I was, mad with desire. Jane's dad had her on lock and key. Damn!'C'mon,' Nick said. 'We'll follow them, of course, but not too close.'Soon, they were racing deeper into the other side of the forest together. The only curious wolves around were the ones playing alone as they raced past. As we went on far behind them, Nick's senses caught something before I picked up the familiar scent. He slowed down. I hesitantly followed suit. It was Rowan and my sister. Both sat nuzzling each other and talking. It was Rita's time off, so Caspian was keeping watch. That was another fem
