Welcome Home Mate Novels & Stories

“Wanna grab a drink?” He sighed and gave me a look. “Yeah, why not. You know I’ll never say no to you.” We left the clinic together. Mateo owned a bunch of bars and nightclubs in the city, but tonight we both just wanted a place where no one knew who we were. He said he had a spot in mind and we headed there. “So,” he asked as we walked. “How’s your new life and lovely new family?” “It’s... tolerable. If you ignore the crappy classmates, the annoying stepdad and stepbrother, and the complete lack of trees around here to jog in.”

I see hunger in all of their eyes. ‘Happy birthday and congratulations, son !You got your wolf and your mates all within twenty-four hours!’ Dad mindlinks through our family link. As we make rounds for them to greet and speak with various pack members, I see the expressions and hear the whispers, but most are about how lucky they are to have one another plus the new, mysterious hunk. I guess that’s me. I find small ways to touch each and feel the pleasant tingles of the bond. But the part I love the most is following Kaiya, our little female mate up to the opulent suite they call home…my new home!

We make our way up the steps and my mate unlocks the door and takes my bags in with him. I walk in and I smile for the first time since I left home. The house had a warm and cozy feeling to it. It was decorated for comfort rather than looks. Everywhere I looked it reminded me of the home that I had always hoped for. I continued to stay lost in my thoughts until I heard someone clear their throat. I turn and I see my mate there looking at me.

Beyond the game room, the house featured a functional laundry room, a well-equipped home gym for workouts, a luxurious steam room for relaxation, and a quiet library filled with shelves of books from floor to ceiling. After Daniel finished giving me a comprehensive tour of the pack house, he led me outside toward the pack garden. As we strolled along the path, many pack members greeted him warmly with a cheerful "Good morning, Alpha." Daniel carried himself with confidence and pride, standing tall and commanding respect whenever anyone addressed him as Alpha. He then introduced me to the pack members as his fated mate, a moment that filled me with happiness and a sense of belonging.

He motioned me forward since I had previously been near the doorway. "Well," I started as I took a few steps forward, "I was wondering if I could hang out with my friend Miriam. I understand if you don't want her coming to the house, but—" Mateo quickly pushed aside any doubt I was having. "Any guest of yours is welcome here. After I have my Beta do a quick screening and background check, that is." A small smirk formed across his face. That's right. Why hadn't it crossed my mind that Mateo was an Alpha? He fit all the characteristics. I just assumed he was some philanthropic billionaire who rescued women from auctions in his spare time....

she said. " By the way, Mom asked to wake you up. Get ready fast," she said. After a perfunctory nod and a forced smile, Stuart retreated to the bathroom, the echoes of the nightmare and the complexities of his impending future swirling in his mind. In an expensive suit, he descended, greeted by his mother, the matriarch of the Gates family. "Good morning, Stuart," Mrs. Alice Gates welcomed him, her tone reflecting the weight of their family's stature.

Rose said with teary eyes and hugged me tightly. "It's good to be home," I hugged her back. One by one, everyone comes and hugs me. "We have arranged a small welcome home party for you. I hope you don't mind," Emma said while breaking the hug. "Not at all," I said, smiling at her. We walked inside the house, and I cut the cake, which Rose had prepared for us, and ate it with snacks while catching up with each other. After some time, we had dinner, and everyone except Emma, Ryan, me, and Cole left their room to get some rest.

I could feel his power beneath his skin, quiet but vast, like a river choosing patience over force. “Are we really going home?” he asked as the trees thinned. “Yes,” Kael answered. “You have earned rest, little wolf.” Kenny frowned. “Mama too.” I smiled faintly. “Yes. Mama too.” When the house came into view, relief crashed into me so hard my chest tightened. “Home” walls that knew us, floors that remembered our footsteps and a place where the void did not own the silence then the medallion stirred. Kael slowed instantly. “Someone is near.”

“And Is the house working out fine?” Arabella nodded, a small but real smile touching her lips. “Yes, I love it there.” She really did, even if she had been edgy and tense since moving there. “West Virginia is very beautiful.” Maria grinned back, and again the room seemed to fill with warmth. It was little wonder why Cassius served beer in this backwater bar. Arabella suspected he’d do anything Maria wanted-just for that smile alone.

"Us alone with mate." She laughed. "I'm joking, you should have seen the look on your face." I smiled and nodded hoping that my mate would hurry and rescue me from this awkward conversation. "How long have you guys been open?" She randomly asked. "A couple months." She nodded in approval. "Wow, you guys have done really well for yourself." I heard my mate walking down the steps and a few seconds later she was standing in the entrance of the living room looking more beautiful then ever. She eyed me up and down making my wolf purr."How do you know where I live?" She said interrupting my wolf naughty thoughts.
