"Man your territory is huge," Axel exclaimed as we made our way inside after I had showed AJ and his friends around the territory with Papa's permission, "No pun intended by the way."I tilted my head while his friends and AJ rolled their eyes at his comment. I shrugged and led them towards the gym where I could hear Derek talking to Dillon who is also AJ's friend and who refused to tag along with us."Then he should leave him behind it's not like he's anything special. He's not a normal person like us. He got a deformity." Dillon replied and I bit the inside of my cheek at his words as I cast down my eyes and from beside me I felt AJ tense as his fist clenched at his sides before he made his presence known."I'm not forcing you or anyone for that matter to remain here, Dillon. If you wish to continue our journey to California you're more than welcomed to leave" Dillon froze as his eyes widened hearing AJ's voice and turned around to face us his eyes trained on his friends."I-I," Di
I looked down when I felt a poke on my arm and smiled when I saw Ajax."Hey," I greeted him and he smiled giving a small wave.Hi he signed."How are you?" Good, he signed and I nodded, and you?"Good," I answered and he nodded, "actually, are you busy?" He shook his head as an answer and I nodded, "would you like you to join me for a late lunch?"Date?"Yeah," I replied and he grinned nodding his head, "cool, come on then," I grabbed him and pulled him towards the garage where Beau had told me that I could use one of the cars there so I grabbed one of the keys on the key holder and unlocked the car it belonged to and walked over to it holding the door open for him so he could get in. He smiled as a soft blush coated his cheeks before closing his door and walking around to climb the driver's seat. "All Alright, ready?"He nodded as he buckled his belt and once I did the same, I turned the engine on before reversing out of the garage then put the car in drive and sped down the drive
I felt a hand soothingly rub my back making me fall deeper into slumber."I know you're awake," the familiar voice of my mate murmured next to my ear making me shiver at his proximity. I opened my eyes and stared up into those eyes that had captivated me from the lemony I saw him and smiled raising a hand to move a strand of hair out of his eyes. He smiled closing his eyes and resting his cheek on my palm, "how are you feeling?"I titled my head at his question and shifted on the bed before wincing at the sudden discomfort on my lower back , "I'll take that as still sore."My face instantly began to burn as memories of the night before resurfaced. AJ was so gentle and patient with me that it had completely erased my fear of mating and marking each other. Everything about last night was perfect from the way he held me to the wha his lips felt against mine as we kissed. Is it supposed to hurt this much after mating? I asked and he shrugged making me raise a brow at his reply and he smi
>Who is that AJ?
Nothing that Papa has ever taught me could have prepared me for the pain and worry I felt as I stood and watched as AJ and his father fought in the yard. I wanted nothing more than to go out there and stand between father and son just so I could prevent AJ from getting hurt even more than he had been. I could feel every blow AJ received through the mate link and it hurt. I could only imagine just how painful they were on his end. I food feel the anger rolling off of him in waves and I felt my breath hitch when I watched him raise his hand ready to slam it into his father's chest only for Derek and Papa pulled him off of the older male—who ran off into the woods with his tail between his legs.Now we were all seated in Beau's office as AJ gave everyone the run down of who his father was and what he was capable of."What you saw earlier was nothing," AJ said and we stared at him and his friends and they stood at his back like the true loyal pack they were. "My father is ruthless. Plain
"Dominic isn't your father, AJ," Ryder said and I stared at him with wide eyes before clenching my jaw. "The hell he isn't," I snarled, "He may be a bastard but he's my father and you can't tell me otherwise,""Like I said. I did a little digging and learned that your father is an alpha from California, hence why you were heading in that direction when you crossed onto our territory and met Ajax." Ryder said, "A wolf will lead his pack to their home because it's what the heart yearns."I shook head in denial at Ryder's words, "not true. Why would he lie to me all this time, then?""Because he wants to kill you, plain and simple." Preston answered this time, "that's the only reason he came here and when he knew he couldn't, he walked away but that doesn't change the fact that he's most likely already planning a way to eliminate you once and for all so you don't take your rightful place as Alpha.""But if Dominic isn't his father than that means that either his mother had an affair or
I watched as AJ and Aaron ran into the woods howling into the night sky. I bit my lips as fear engulfed me. What if something happens while he's gone? What if Dominic ends up not just killing him his mother but him and Aaron as well? I couldn't help but worry about my mate and his safety. But that fear evaporated as I watched his friends all running in the same direction as AJ and Aaron had just vanished into. It gave me some sense of hope that those four will keep him and his parents safe until their back."He'll be alright, pup," Mama said making me look up at him as he stood beside me staring out into the trees where my mate had gone in. He looked at me through the reflection of the window and smiled.I'm scared something will happen during his rescue mission I signed and he nodded wrapping an arm around my shoulders and pulling me close before placing a kiss on my temple."Your brother and Derek have also gone with your mate," he said and I pulled back to stare up at him shocked a
My heart sank the second I watched Ajax's body begin to morph into his human form before falling unconscious with blood pooling under him. His body was littered with cuts and scratches from his fight with Dominic. I held him as I felt for a pulse but it was so weak that I could feel my wolf pacing in my head with a whine and whimper. I could hear my father and Dominic fighting in the background but I couldn't give a fuck about that, all that mattered was getting Ajax to the infirmary and healed. "Come on, baby, stay with me," I whispered as I picked his light as a feather body up and rushed towards the infirmary with his family running behind me. I could smell his blood leaving trails behind us but I didn't care. I needed to get him to the doctor before I lose him. >I can't feel Loki
