Dear Journal,
Tomorrow is the last day of the conference. I opened my laptop to pull up the security footage and watch as the Alphas go into the room, I see the back of Aaron’s head in the group. I have a few more active toys to Aiden to help him burn off the energy he has now that I healed his heart and he isn’t getting tired so easily anymore from simply moving. I knock on the door knowing he will get a kick out of what I brought him today. OH, MY GODDESS!!!!! It wasn’t the back of Aaron’s head that I saw earlier, because here he is standing right in the threshold of the door. Before he can speak, Aiden runs past his Daddy and launches himself into my arms. Then like a typical 5 ½-year-old, he asks “What did you bring me?” Jumping back down he pulls me inside the room making me brush against Aaron’s chest as I go. Sparks, fireworks, electricity whatever you want to call it to shoot through my body at the brief contact. Since seeing him caused me scent to be released he got a good whiff and growled “Mate” in my ear before I was pulled away by Aiden. He watched closely as Aiden began tearing open the packages of toys from the bag I brought them in. Aaron bristled at the sight of the giant foam blocks and stepping/balance stones I got him. I reminded Aiden to play gently while inside, then turned to face Aaron. He crossed the gap between us in 2 steps and wrapped his arms around my waist to nuzzle my neck inhaling my scent deeply. He pulled back looking a bit confused because he could tell by my smell I was a full Lycan. Reading his expression I told him my full name, Jacqueline Elizabeth Warmder, which caused him to stumble backward as the realization hit him that I’m the oldest daughter of Julius Warmder and the first female Lycan ever to be born. I suggested that we should most likely talk after the meetings were done for the day and tried to get him to head downstairs. I don’t want to have to use my Alpha voice, but man, he is stubborn for a mere werewolf. Looking over to see Aiden building with his giant foam blocks fine without us, Aaron pulls me into the bathroom closing the door to mute our voices enough that his son wouldn’t hear us. After just staring into my eyes for 5 minutes and sniffing almost every inch of me (which was like SUPERHOT), he demanded to know why I hid myself from him since it was clear I was the one coming and keeping his son company during the days. I explained that I wanted to make sure that he was ready for a new mate and that I could feel he was still grieving. I didn’t want him to feel pressured into something he wasn’t ready for. He growled low in warning when I mentioned his first love and it felt like my heart was ripping, being torn in two. Instinctively, I tried to turn away and get out of the small bathroom, but he held the door closed by putting his hands on either side of me trapping me in place with my back to him. Almost as if he couldn’t control himself his wolf buried his face into my neck nuzzling my marking spot and making me moan with the pleasure of it. Lynn 2.0 purred contently in my head and demanded that we turn to scent him because he would have to become a Lycan in order for us to complete the mating/marking process. He heard the soft moans coming from my throat and jumped back like he had been burned. 2.0 wanted to use our Alpha voice to command him to accept us, but I reminded her that
1.) He is an Alpha as well
2.) He is our mate making him one of the males, baring Daddy and Grandpa Valderez, immune to the “voice”
3.) He would grow to resent us if we attempted to make him do something his heart isn’t ready for since he would know what we did the minute we marked him and all our knowledge/skills/essence became one with him.
I have to convince him to choose us on his own and if he doesn’t I can give him the option of bringing back his first love, Shari, to life so that Aiden can have his Mommy back and Aaron can live the happy life he deserves. Yes, my heart belongs totally and solely to him to cherish or to break if that’s the call he wants to make. Dad breaks into his thoughts and asks where he was in his mind for which he states that he was running late due to his son. Before he leaves the room he tells me that I had better be there when he gets back or he will tear this hotel apart room by room until he finds me. I agree to be there and go over to watch Aiden play as the door closes quietly.
