"I want to renovate the apartment" Ryker said out of the blue and I blinked before sitting straight in my seat and looked at him with a raised brow "Yeah and what did you have in plan?" I asked and he beamed making me chuckle. He was like a child on Christmas morning. He pulled out a folded piece of paper and handed it to me and I unfolded it and finding a beautiful design "I was thinking of making it a two story apartment. I mean the top floor isn't being used so why not?" He said with a shrug of his shoulders "The top floor can be where the bedrooms are while the bottom floor can be the living room, kitchen/dining room, game room and theater room. Maybe even have a playroom in the future when we hav kids" I said and his head snapped up so fast that I winced when I heard it crack and he rubbed his neck "How many kids are we talking about?" He asked with a cheeky grin making me roll my eyes "We haven't talked about that have we?" I asked an he hummed taking a sip of his water whi
Graduation day was tomorrow away and Preston was a nervous wreck, why? I had no idea but seeing him thinking of anything that didn't have to do with his parents, was better than anything. He spent four days locked in our room crying a week prior about them not being here for him -until a pup had been found and brought to the clinic where he spends his days in- and and all I did was hold him and tell him that they'll be watching him from wherever they are and are proud of him. Now he was worried that he's going to fall flat on his face as he walked up the steps to get his diploma. He was worried that he'll make a fool of himself but I knew he was going to be just fine. He always thinks negatively when it comes to big events like these.I can now only imagine what he'll be like when the day comes when we get married. He'll probably lose sleep. He worried and fretted over everything and anything but that's what I love about him. Over the course of the year of being together, he's gotten
The stands were filled to capacity with family and friends of the graduates and a stupid part of me searched the crowd for my dad, but I knew he wouldn't be there among the parents and it hurt to think that he wasn't present but deep down I knew he was watching along with Mama and the rest of the family who wasn't here anymore. The slight breeze that passed through me was enough proof that they were present and that made the ache in my chest full and a smile to cover my face. I looked up when I felt eyes on me and saw Ryker looking my way>Are you alright beautiful?>Just nervous, but it's to be expected
I looked across the yard to where my mate and son were and smiled. It's been a roller coaster ride but we work through it all. We've been together for two years today and every day has been a blessing.Two years ago, Preston and I made the decision to adopt the pup that had been left behind by his parents even if we weren't quite ready. We learned together what raising a child with special needs really was and learned what we needed to know to help him grow to be independent even if he has Down Syndrome. We named him Ajax Cayden. Ajax meaning warrior and Cayden meaning fighter because Ajax was just that. He was a warrior and fighter. He fought from day one. He's our little warrior because he never gave up. Our families had been adamant about us taking on such a big step before we completed the mating but in the end, they supported our decisions and have helped us as best and as much as they could. Which brings us to now. Preston was making silly faces at Ajax making the toddler burst
"Hey" I looked up from my book to find Ryker standing in the doorway of our room and smiled "Hey, I didn't hear you come in, how was training?" I asked and he shrugged "It could have gone a bit better but considering it's a first time for the new shifted pups it went well" he replied and I nodded putting my book down as he walked over and climbed into bed being careful not to wake Ajax who was sound asleep beside me"How was he?" He questioned after pecking me on the lips, his eyes locked on our son as his fingers ran through his hair gently "He was good. Took him to see Dr. Decker and he said that Ajax had an ear infection so he prescribed some antibiotics and also said to give him some children's Tylenol to help reduce the fever" I said looking down at the sleeping toddler with a smile. Ajax has woken up this morning burning up and we were worried since it could be something serious but after getting assured that it wasn't, I was relieved. Ryker had gone to train right before I t
When I woke up this morning the last thing I expected was to wake up to Julianna banging in my bedroom door demanding the to get my ass up and in the shower before she came in dragged me in there herself. I had rolled my eyes but didn't argue. The last thing I need at 8 in the morning was have my ear cut off for not obeying the 22 year old. Her boyfriend, who Preston and I met a month after we announced the adoption, tagged along to help out but all he did was sit around and type on his phone. Something had told me that he was heating on the poor naive girl but didn't say anything as I wasn't 100% sure. I don't want to make assumptions and they come out false, so I kept my mouth shut. The rest of the morning flew by in a blink of an eye and before I knew it, I was standing at the altar waiting for Preston to arrive with Jericho dressed in an all black tuxedo with matching dress shoes with my hair pulled back in a man bun. Ajax was currently sitting on the front row with Ellie and Ga
The second we stepped foot into our apartment, Ryker slammed me against the door making me gasp at the sudden action before groaning as his lips slammed on mine as he hoisted me up against his body. My legs wrapping around his waist as his lips devoured mine in a searing kiss."Bedroom, now" I panted as his lips attached themselves to my neck as he nipped, licked and sucked on the skin making my breath hitch with each action. My body was on fire and I needed to feel him, every inch of him against my skin. He pushed off the door with me clinging to him like a second skin as he began to walk towards the stairs and I prayed to the gods above that we don't fall because mood killer. "I love you" he murmured as he walked down the hall towards our room and I smiled pulling his face from my neck and looked down at him "Love you too, Ryker. So much" I whispered before leaning down and capturing his lips in a kiss and he smiled against my lips as he kicked the door open to the room and slamme
The last thing I saw and heard before my world turned dark was Preston's scream of my name and my pack watching in horror as the bastard I was fighting with clamped it's jaws on my throat then nothing. A few hours, maybe, later I woke up in a familiar place. A place I've been before. The same place I saw my sister. It made my heart sink to think that this was it. That I died at the hands of my enemy leaving my husband and son behind."Don't tell me you're giving up" a voice that was all to familiar scoffed from behind me making me look over my shoulder only to come face to face with Princeton and Jessie SaintClaire, Preston's parents.Princeton stood there with his arms crossed over his chest making his muscular arms constrict in his tight shirt. His tattoos were more prominent they had been a year ago. "Didn't you promise us that you wouldn't leave our son alone?" Jessie questioned? His hands on his hips and a brow raised making him look like a cute angry puppy instead of angry mam
