Nathan & J (Nathan’s POV)
| was looking at my beautiful little boy, who was sleeping peacefully in my arms.
He was perfect. He was a perfectbination of his mom and me. “You are going to be the best Alpha one day,” | told him
quietly. “I will be there for you every step of the way. | am not going to do what my father did, | promise. | will be better. | will do
better.”
When my pup was born, one of my greatest fears was that | would be a bad father. | didn’t have the best role model growing up. I
was so scared that | would turn out just like my father did.
But Jenny convinced me otherwise. She made me realize that | was different. She was there for me, and she supported me
every step of the way.
Unfortunately for me, she was only there for me as a friend.
She said that she needed time. | understood it, and | tried to support her.
It was so f*ucking hard, though. | wanted my mate more than anything. | wanted to k*iss her, and | wanted to hold her. | wanted
to mark her. | wanted to make her mine.
But | knew she needed time. | knew that | ftucked up.
“How is he?” | heard my mate’s voice.
I turned around and smiled.
“He is sleeping peacefully,” | said, looking back down at him.
| bent down and ced a soft k*iss on his forehead.
“| can’t believe he is three months old today,” Jenny said quietly. “Time is going by so fast.”
My heart clenched.
She was right. Time was going by so fast, and | still didn’t have her. My family wasn’tplete yet.
Jenny approached us and smiled. She looked at our pup and caressed his little cheek.
“He is so cute,” she mumbled. “And | am not saying that just because he is our pup.”
| chuckled and k*issed her temple.
“You aren’t biased at all,” | said teasingly, making her roll her eyes at me.
Goddess, she was beautiful.
| tightened my jaw and made a decision. | decided to talk to her today. | couldn’t wait any longer. | needed her. | needed to make
her mine. | was going to go insane if | didn’t.
| would understand if she needed more time. | would find a way to deal with it, but | ftucking needed to try.
She was living at the packhouse, sleeping in the room next to mine. She was here. | saw her every day. She was the Luna of my
pack.
But she still wasn’t my mate. | still couldn’t ftucking t*ouch her and bury myself inside of her.
| walked back to the crib and put my son down.
I needed to do it now.
| turned back around, approached my mate, and took her hand in mine. | started leading her toward her bedroom, which was
adjacent to the nursery. “Where are we going?” she asked, confused.Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.
| didn’t answer. | was too focused on trying to calm my racing heart down.
| opened the door, walked into her room, and pulled her toward the bed. | sat down and made her sit beside me.
“What''s wrong, Nathan?” she asked softly.
| took a deep breath and cupped her cheeks. The tingles and sparks calmed me down a little.
“You are right, Jenny,” | said. “Time is going by so fast. Hunter is three months old. Soon, he is going to be all grown up, and he
will run our pack.”
Jenny frowned.
“You missed a few steps there,” she said with a hint of anusement in her voice.
“It doesn’t matter,” | said, shaking my head. “Important thing is that | don’t want to wait. | don’t want to lose any more time. | want
my family to beplete. | want you, Jenny. | want to mark you and show you how ftucking much | love you.”
Her eyes widened a little.
“| understand if you need more time,” | sighed. “But | needed to say something before | exploded. | needed to try. | didn’t want to
waste more time.”
Jenny studied my face for a second before she ced her hands over mine. “I don’t need more time, Nate,” she said, making my
heart skip a beat. “I watched you be the best father and the best Alpha. | fell in love with you a little bit more every day. You
are right. We shouldn’t waste any more time.”
| was going to explode with happiness.
| leaned in and captured her soft I*ips with mine. She tasted so fucking amazing. She tasted like cinnamon and apples.
“Emma would be proud of you,” Jenny said as | stopped k*issing her.
| furrowed my eyebrows, and she gave me a small smile.
“You are a different man now,” Jenny said. “You are kind and loving. You listened to her and deepened your connection with
Noel. She would be proud, | am sure of it. She would be d she saved your life.”
| really hoped that she would. | had a long road of redemption ahead of me, but | was definitely on the right track.
‘You are,’ Noel told me. ‘Jenny is right. Emma would be d.”
Awarm feeling spread through my c*hest.
“It''s too bad that we will never know for sure,” | said to both Jenny and Noel.
They forbade me from evering back to their pack, and | would honor it. | didn’t want to cause even more damage to them.
“You never know,” Jenny said with a small smile. “You might see her again.”
| would love that. | would love to thank her for believing in me and giving me a second chance.
| smiled at my mate and ced another k*iss on her I*ips.
“Jenny?” | mumbled as | started k*issing her n*eck.
She m*oaned and wrapped her arms around my waist.
“Yes?” she mumbled, already panting a little.
“Can | mark you?” | asked, s*ucking on her marking spot a little.
Just at that moment, our pup started crying.
“F*uck,” | mumbled, making Jennyugh.
“Tonight,” she said as she ced a soft k*iss on my n*eck.
| lifted my head and smiled at her.
| couldn''t wait to make her mine.
