Chapter 49
Jenna’s P.O.V.
I never thought I would find myself in this situation, caught in bed with a man and then nearly getting caught by his younger brother. My heart had nearly jumped out of my chest when Blade had come banging on Adam’s bedroom door, and I had hastily tried to cover myself up with the tangled bedsheets while hiding myself in the corner of his room.
Please, God… I want to die!
Because here I was, sitting on the edge of the bed now, with my hair all messed up, and Adam beside me looking probably equally disheveled after the night we had shared. The encounter with his younger brother Blade was still fresh in my mind. And I couldn’t help but feel a mix of embarrassment and anxiety. My heart raced, and I wrung my hands together, trying to put my jumbled thoughts into words.
“Adam,” I began tentatively,
“Do I really have to go down there and face your entire family

Blade, sitting next to Skye, grinned mischievously at his turn.“Yeah, Adam, we never knew you had it in you, pushing us out of the house in order to drag her in behind our backs.”Oh God…Did Adam kick out his siblings, because he is in fact ashamed of me?Maybe he didn’t want his siblings to know about me, and he just got caught?Koda, who seemed more quiet this morning than I had known him to be in the past, looked over at me as if somehow, he was sensing my upcoming panic attack.“Guys, leave her alone. Let her eat in peace, at least.” He sighed before he got up from his chair and walked to the oven, picking out bacon before placing it on a plate that he put in the center of the table. To which all men leaned forward, attacking the bacon like a bunch of wild animals.“I’m happy to finally have another girl in the house. And I’m happy fo

Adam’s P.O.V.As breakfast came to a close, I watched Gran turn to Jenna while I was putting the dirty dishes into the sink.“Jenna, I must say, you’ve passed the family breakfast test with flying colors.” And I sighed contently, thinking back at how easily Jenna had placed herself in the middle of the family. I could already tell everyone loved her and had already accepted her, making my wolf stick out his chest filled with pride, knowing his one true mate had just done that.“I hope to see you again, very soon, dear.” Gran smiled at Jenna as she got up from her chair, and walked over toward me as she patted me on the shoulder as if to tell me 'atta boy'.“I am heading back home, Mindy is coming over so we can get some coffee and discuss the latest town gossip.” Gran grinned at me, leaning in even closer.“And next time you want to use me as an excuse, at least let me know so I ca

As the kiss deepened, the world outside seemed to fade away, and it was just Jenna and me, lost in each other’s presence. Our hands found their way to each other’s backs, her fingers grabbed my shoulder as my fingers got tangled in her hair, pulling each other even closer, deepening the connection even more.As we broke the kiss, our foreheads gently rested against one another. I gazed into Jenna’s deep blues, a warm glow of affection washing over me. In that quiet, small kitchen, bathed in the sun’s soft rays, we both knew that our connection was something truly special. And with a soft smile, Jenna whispered to me.“Adam Miller, I think I’m falling for you.”Be still, my heart…While I wanted to shout it from the rooftops, throw her over my shoulder, and drag her back into my room to have my way with her all over again. I forced myself to just lean in and kiss her forehead, letting

Jenna’s P.O.V. I sat on the edge of my hotel bed, my fingers anxiously tapping the smooth mahogany surface of the nightstand. The room cast long shadows that danced across the cream-colored walls. I had spent my entire day at Anderson’s Construction, immersed in a whirlwind of meetings and site inspections. Now, all I wanted was to escape the sterile office atmosphere and the weight of responsibilities that came with it. My eyes darted to the clock hanging on the wall. Adam was running late. He had promised to pick me up from the hotel once I was done with work. I reached for my phone, tempted to call him, but hesitated. Maybe he was caught in traffic, or perhaps he was just held up at school. I didn’t want to add to his stress, not today. With a sigh, I gazed out of the window at the small town below. The view offered me some solace, a distraction from the thoughts that gnawed at me. I couldn’t escape the feeling of unease that

I took the key from my purse and turned the key in the lock, and with a soft click, the front door of my Uncle Ben’s house swung open, revealing a dimly lit interior. Adam and I stood at the threshold, hesitating for a moment as the weight of what lay beyond settled upon me. The house smelled musty now, like a place that had been closed up for too long. Stale air filled my lungs as I stepped inside, memories flooding my senses. It was as if the very walls held the stories of my childhood, a testament to the life my uncle and I had shared here. I closed the door behind us, the click echoing loudly through the empty hall, and I took a cautious step forward. The wooden floors creaked beneath my feet, greeting me like an old friend. I couldn’t help but be transported back in time.***It was a lazy Sunday afternoon, the kind that seemed to last forever. The sun streamed through the lace curtains, casting delicate patterns on the

Jenna’s P.O.V.I stood alone in the dimly lit kitchen of my late uncle’s house. It was getting late and the last rays of the setting sun filtered through the dusty windows, casting long shadows across the old linoleum floor. My uncle’s kitchen was a time capsule, with faded floral wallpaper and checkered tablecloth that had seen better days. Uncle Ben had never been the kind of man to want to best of the best, the man had always lived a simple and yet happy life.As I looked around the room, I still felt torn about the decision I needed to make, whether to sell this house which held decades of my uncle’s life and a huge chunk of my own within its walls, or keep it as a tribute to his memory. My mind was a whirlwind of uncertainty, and it was this clutter of memories that I was here to sort through tonight.I picked up his worn-out apron hanging from a hook on the back of the pantry door. It was stained with the memories of countless m

“You’ve always seemed to love living in Fairview. Have you ever thought about what you’d like to do in the future, like staying here or moving elsewhere?” I asked him as he smiled, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes as he gazed out the window of the kitchen.“I really do love this small town. There’s something about the sense of community, the way everyone living here has somehow become a part of our family that I’ve come to cherish ever since my parents died. So I honestly never considered moving away after my parents died.” He spoke as I nodded, understanding where he was coming from. Adam’s fingers traced patterns on his chopsticks, a thoughtful expression on his face.“Lately, however, there is something I’ve been thinking about.” He admitted.

Jenna’s P.O.V.After decluttering for about an hour after finishing our Chinese food, Adam promised to bring me back to my hotel like the perfect gentleman that he was. And right now, as I was back inside my hotel room, it felt as if my mind was working in overdrive, as I was consumed with so many questions and thoughts. For one, I was seriously doubting checking out at the hotel and just moving into my Uncle Ben’s house for the time being. A part of me felt ready, even though I had only been inside his house once, and that had been with Adam by my side. I never had been alone in that house for over an hour ever since my Uncle Ben had died, and I started to doubt if maybe spending the night all alone, would actually be the final drop that would make the bucket too full and it would end up with me a being a sobbing and heartbroken mess.Two, I also couldn’t help but go over the conversation Adam and I had had durin
