To the Moon and Back

Chapter 38

                                                                           *Jason`s POV*

            It was kind of strange for me to be so irrevocably in love with someone I’ve known for less than 24 hours.  Although we have spent hours and hours today talking, we still know so little about each other. Is this what its normally like for mates? I knew Rose for my whole life. So, it was different with her. I was always very protective of rose. Even as a baby, my mom  would tell me stories about how I would cry every time the twins went home. And she would often find us curled up together in the play pen or the playroom as toddlers. Alice and I Would curl around rose protectively for naps. I never had to protect Alice though, well never as children.  The three of us were inseparable. Wherever one of us was the other two of us weren’t far off. Even when I had to do my special training sessions with my father’s beta. The twins would come down to the gym with their dad. For a while he wouldn’t let Alice train with me.  He didn’t want one of his precious baby girls to be hurt. Rose was perfectly happy with this, But Alice was not having it. when Alice has set her mind to something she doesn’t give up. So, she started shadowing our movements anyway, while Rose watched and shouted words of encouragement to us.im not sure if he just realized she wasn’t going to fold. Or if I actually managed to convince him that Alice training with me would make us both stronger. And it did. Alice and I were a well-oiled machine. After the just the first few sessions our potential was evident. Even before we could mind link the three of us just knew what the other was thinking. This translates to a great asset in a fight.  We could tell what the other was thinking just looking them in the eye. Her speed my strength and our combined minds.  This made Alice and I formidable foes. Even more so now. After watching us spar with groups of other pups Our parents were convinced that Alice would be my mate. They figured that only mats could be that in tune. We have always worked so seamlessly together.  Alice and I have been partners in crime since day one. What they didn’t know was how often Rose was our look out when we were up to our shenanigans. She had saved our asses more times than we could count. Rose couldn’t fight and she was not as fast as Alice, but My baby could sing. She would belt out a song when someone was coming. This both distracted the person but also gave us enough warning to get out safely.  And even though she detested sparring she was always our cheerleader during training.  She would sometimes do our warmups with us but once combat training started shed scurry off to the benches. I had never heard of a pacifist werewolf, but my rose came pretty close to it. She hated violence and didn’t see the point of physical sports. Occasionally a particularly brave bully would mess with her. Whenever that happened we would make an example of them. Alice and I made sure everyone knew that Rose was never to be bothered by anyone for any reason.  Max chuckled lightly ”Do you remember when that scrawny mutt had said something nasty about our Rose. And Alice  tripped him then grabbed his leg and dragged him to us. then she threw him at our feet.” The memory brings a smile to my face “that was the first time we ever shared control wasn’t it?!?” “Yeah J, we couldn’t even shift yet. We were pups, 13 tops.”  “Ha oh man Max that kids face was Priceless” “I think he s**t his pants.” Max is barking laughing at this point and it’s nice to hear him thinking of happy times with Rose. “the boy was so scared he promised to spend the rest of the week personally spreading the word that anyone dumb enough to disrespect Rose would have to deal with Alice and I.”   Alice and I were already the top Jr warriors so when my wolf made himself known, my voice was deeper, and my eyes swirled black, and my nails grew into claws. Every pup present bared their neck in submission.  My dad was so proud he threw a ball in my honor. As close as I am with Alice is as close as I was with Rose growing up. Rose and I knew everything about each other before we ever found out we were mates. We were best friends first. Though everyone else was shocked that Alice wasn’t the twin I was fated to Alice, and I weren’t. neither of us thought we would be fated. I had always loved Rose differently than Alice. So, I was not surprised on my 18th birthday to find myself tied to my rose, I was just happy.  But with Sammy I fell in love before I even knew her name. its both terrifying and exhilarating.  She’s in her 30s, she has two kids and a ,regrettably alive, baby daddy. She’s had a whole life before meeting me. I can’t wait to learn everything about her. I can’t wait for her to share all of herself with me. And I can’t wait till I can share all of me with her. I don’t know how she’s going to react to finding out I share my body with a giant wolf.  If that’s not a big enough bomb there’s she my Luna, she is meant to help me lead Our pack. And of course, can’t forget the whole I’m a prince thing.  That is so much to handle at once and I hope it’s not too much for my kitten.  Maybe I should tell her one thing at a time “Tell her about me when she wakes up” max slips in casually. “not yet be patient”  he just  growls at my response.  I spend the next few hours holding Sammy tight against me basking in her scent.  When I see the first sign of the sunrise I gently wake my angel.  “Sammy, baby wake up.”  “mhnm” she mumbles as she tries to hide her face under my arm. Her eyes are still closed and she’s doing her best to stay sleeping. “Kitten?! Be a good girl for daddy and wake your sexy ass up, Now!” I growl the last word. When her eyes begin to flutter open I  gently kiss her forehead. “Jason?  What time is it?” “it’s a little after 5, in a little while I have to go pick up our breakfast order.”  “You can’t be here when the kids wake up!” Sammy’s eyes are wide and she’s fully awake now. She looks panicked. “Don’t worry kitten I’m going to leave. go get breakfast and then I’ll be making an early morning delivery of their plundered goods.” She visibly relaxes  but I continue “ They don’t ever need to know that you slept like sleeping beauty upon my chest” I chuckle as her cheeks get pink. My laugh is cut short when she reaches up and captures my face in her hands. She pulls my face towards hers crashing her lips  into mine. My shock only lasts a tenth of a second before a loud appreciative growl rumbles from my chest.  Our lips remain locked together as Sammy swallows up my growl she returns it with a moan. f**k she’s perfect when I realized my mate was human I was worried id accidentally scare her away with my primal tendencies. Sammy loves my growls, and it gives me hope that she will take this whole werewolf thing better than I’ve been anticipating.  Our lips met each other with such need, our tongues dance passionately. Not fighting for dominance but working together to reach dizzying heights. I grab her left hand ascendingly drawing tiny circles on her ring finger. I wonder how soon I could propose I need to put a big rock on this finger. Big enough to let every male in a 5-mile radius that she is taken. She nips at my bottom lip drawing a growl from my chest. Just the promise of her kiss would be enough for me to declare war upon the world.  Anything she desires she will have.
