Indenial human luna

Chapter 9 friends around the camp fire

JACK'S POV

We are sat watching fast a furious and halfway through the film I look at Jess who has fallen asleep. She looks like an angel I lift her into my arms gently and carry her back to her room, so she doesn't get grab from sleeping at a weird angle.

"I can't believe how tiny she looks" says Alex my wolf.

"I know she is dinky, but it's adorable" I say back.

"You need to hurry up and make her fall in love with us, so we can be fully ours" says Alex

"Just be patient we can't scare her away" I tell Alex then I block him out.

There's no way I'm rushing Jess I'm so scared she is going to run for the hills, I will take it as slow as Jess needs if it means I get to keep her forever.

I lay my queen in the bed and cover her with the quilt. I hope she doesn't leave me once the two weeks are up I couldn't bare or if she did.

"There's been a rogue spotting on the boarders" says Eddie via mind link.

"Make sure they are found and captured" I say.

"Okay I will get Tim on the case" replies Eddie's.

Tim is one of my best warriors he will get it sorted.

I look at Jess again and give her a kiss on her cheek before I go to my office to sort out some paperwork that needs doing.

JESS POV

I wake up to find I'm in the bedroom again. I must have fallen asleep and jack probably brought me here I think. I look at the time at its 4pm. Furthermore, I quickly go freshen up in the bathroom and decide to see if Jack is in his room.

KNOCK KNOCK.

He doesn't answer. Now what am I going to do? I decide to go head down to the kitchen see if anyone is in there. I opt for the stairs one flight down, and I see Rita. "Hey Rita" I say.

"Hey dear Where's Jack" she asks?

"I don't know I fell asleep and woke up in my room. I knocked Jack's door, but he didn't answer" I say.

"Did you try his office" Rita asks.

"Oh no I didn't think of that" I say.

"It's alright come on I will keep you company how about a drink?" Rita asks.

"That would be great" I say. We then head for the kitchen.

"It's a really lovely home you have here I say" to Rita.

"It is very nice it can take some time to remember where everything is though" Rita says.

"I bet it does" I say.

"Have you had a nice day?" she asks.

"It's been lovely, Vic and Eddie said about a BBQ and camp fire tonight I'm looking forward to that as well." I say excitedly

"That sounds fun, indeed" Rita says.

We are soon sitting with drinks when Jack comes in.

"Hey mum, hey Jess sorry I wasn't there when you woke up." Jack says

"What was you doing?" says Rita

"Paperwork mum" he replies

"Well it's a good job I came across Jess and kept her company otherwise you would have stayed hidden in that office until sunrise tomorrow" Rita says not at all amused.

"Ahh, mum I didn't mean to lose track of time. I'm here now." jack says

"Only because I mind linked you to get ya ass down here though isn't it" Rita says with a raised eyebrow.

"Alright, alright I'm sorry" says Jack practically pleading for forgiveness

I can't help but laugh "well I know where to find you in the future, hiding away in your office" I say through laughter.

"Jess I will leave you with Jack, I've got to get back to Sam." Rita says

"Okay then, thanks for keeping me company" I say.

"Did you have a good sleep" Jack asks me.

"Yes, I'm sorry I fell asleep during the film" I say

"I'm not sorry, I got to hold you close to me while I carried you to bed" he says while winking at me.

I just roll my eyes as if he is crazy.

Jack goes and grabs a bottle of water before joining me.

"So how come you spend so much time in the office" I ask.

"I don't plan on it, I just lose track of time when I get engrossed with paperwork" he replies.

"You sound like a work alcoholic" I say.

"I don't plan it that way. But now I've found you I will try my best to not be a work alcoholic, because I'd rather be with you" Jack says.

"Aww quite the charmer" I say

"Only for you sweetheart" he replies.

I laugh while saying "alright, alright cut it out. When the BBQ starting anyway?"

"Hang on I will mind link Eddie and check" Jack says.

After a minute he says "Eddie says we can head out now if you want".

"Okay then" I reply.

We wait for Eddie, Vic, Chad and Annie out on the patio 10 minutes they arrive. Vic brings a blanket.

"What's that for" I ask.

"It's for you, us werewolves don't get cold, but I know you humans do" she says.

"Aww thanks that's so kind of you" I say taking the blanket.

Eddie and Chad have the BBQ food in bags. We all head near the forest, where a BBQ and camp fire is already prepared to be started. Some blankets are on the grass as well.

Jack, Chad and Eddie decided to get the BBQ and camp fire started up while me Vic and Annie sit down and start chatting.

JACK'S POV

I'm stood with Eddie and Chad cooking the BBQ when Eddie asks "how the day has gone" while nodding in Jess's direction.

"Great until my mum stumbled across Jess left unattended, I'd left Jess to sleep while I decided to crack on with some paperwork. Next thing I know hours have passed, and my mum is mind linking yelling" I say.

"What did she say" asks Chad?

"If you don't get your ass down to the kitchen in the next 5 minutes so help me the moon goodness, Jack I will come drag your ass here. I can't believe you left your mate alone when this is all still new to her!" I say repeating the lecture my mum gave me.

"Man I s**t myself of all the people to find Jess it had to be my mum" I add on.

"Oh no I bet you soon moved your ass" says Eddie

"Yes I did and when I reached the kitchen my mum lectured me again. And Jess found that highly amusing I could tell" I say.

"I don't know who is scarier your mum or you" says Chad.

"Definitely my mum" I say.

Vic yells "when's the food going to be done we are starving over here".

"5 more minutes" says Eddie.

"Hey Eddie did Tim find anymore on the rogue yet?" I ask

"No not yet" he replies.

"Okay well double the patrols until we know more" I say.

"Sure thing" says Eddie.

I look over at Jess, and she seems happy chatting with Vic and Annie. It makes me happy seeing her smile, All I ever want is for Jess to be happy. I'd give up my last breath to make sure she is happy.

"Alright let's get this food served before the girls gang up on us next" says Chad.

"Yeah can't be dealing with upset mates" says Eddie.

I agree and carry a plate of sausages while Chad carry the burgers and Eddie carries the chicken over

We all sit down with the girls.

"About time, I could have cooked for the whole pack in the time it took you guys to Cook this" grumbles Annie.

"Aww babe I'm sorry" says Chad while he wraps his arms around Annie.

"Do you do this often" says Jess

"Yeah quite often it's good to unwind and relax with each other" I say.

"You all seem very close" she says with sad eyes.

"Hey what's the matter" Vic asks.

"I just miss my best friend Lisa, I tell her everything and she would help me understand all of this except I'm pretty sure she wouldn't believe you're all werewolves, so I can't tell her this" Jess says

"Hey, it's alright I know I'm not Lisa, but I'm here if you just need a friends point of view" Vic says

"And I'm here to, I understand sometimes you just want your girlfriends in certain situations don't worry me and Vic got ya back" says Annie.

"Thanks, I appreciate it" says Jess.

"Hey sweetheart, I understand this must be hard I'm sorry, but I swear I'm here for you to" I say. She just smiles at me

"Alright come on let's finish off the food" says Vic. And we all tuck in.

Before long we are all sat around the camp fire having a laugh when I notice Jess is wrapped in the blanket.

"Hey sweetheart are you cold?" I ask Jess.

"Yeah a little bit" she says. I go and sit behind Jess, while I wrap my arms around her waist.

I whisper in her ear "your soon be warm again it's one of the perks being a wolf I stay nice and warm".

With that Jess snuggles into me a little more. It feels really nice having my mate in my arms even if it is just to keep her warm I think to myself.

JESS POV

I'm snuggled in Jack's arms enjoying the warmth his body is giving me. I'm also enjoying that beach smell he has.

We are all just sat around enjoying the camp fire.

"So what you got planned for tomorrow" asks Annie

"I don't know it's Jack's show currently, he has just under two weeks to try to convince me of this mate bond he insists is between us" I say.

"Well Jack what you got planned for our Jess here tomorrow" ask Annie.

"I haven't thought that far ahead yet" says Jack.

"Typical bloke, he is just like Eddie" says Vic.

"How come" I ask.

"Clueless when comes to romance" she replies.

"Hey" says Eddie grumbling

"I'm sorry babe, but it's true who do you ask for advice Rita and your mum" Vic says.

I chuckle.

"Hey It's not just me" says Eddie

"Why who else asks for there help?" Annie asks.

"Our Jack here asked his mum for help yesterday?" says Eddie

"Really" I ask

"Um no I asked my mum, dad, Eddie and Chad actually for ideas it just happened to be my mum' idea about a picnic while my dad suggested asking you first before just doing" Jack says.

"Oh then I totally agree with Vic not your own Idea" I say while laughing.

"Why are you ganging up on us" asks Eddie?

"Well its women code to stand up for the all women all over the world. Just like you guys have guy code" I say.

"Alright I'm sorry I will think Of something fun tomorrow I don't know what yet, but it will be my own idea he" Jack says leaving me Vic and Annie chuckling.

"And what about you Vic your meant to love me" says Eddie.

"Oh I do babe even your flaws, but Jess is right us women gotta stick together" Vic says.

"That's it" says Eddie and he starts chasing Vic who is laughing her head off.

Then Jack whispers in my ear "you're having a good evening?" It sends tingles all down my neck.

"Yeah I am thanks, Defiantly beats an early night in front of Netflix at home" I say.

Which is true I'd of only been munching out on chocolate watching some chick flick wondering if I would ever find my Mr right I think to myself

Not that I think Jack is my Mr right because I don't ATM I like him, but that's about it so far. But I'm definitely enjoying myself this evening. Before I know it the camp fire is starting to burn out and the laughter has continued the past few hours. I'm starting to get tired that I could actually fall asleep cuddled up to Jack.

"Hey Jack would it be okay if we head back now I'm starting to get tired" I ask. "Of course it is" is says.

"Hey guys you all ready go" says Jack to everyone else.

"Yeah let's get this fire out and head back" says Chad.

The guys put out the fire while me and the girls stand talking. But I'm shivering since Jack left my side to help them put the camp fire out.

"Hey you cold" says Annie.

"Yes just a little bit" I say with chattering teeth.

Annie and Vic then cone huddle up with me while we wait for the guys to keep me warm. Vic tells em to hurry there asses before I catch a cold which I can't help laughing at.

"You two sure know how to keep them in place" I say.

"That's because they love us it's the mate bond they wouldn't do as we say" says Vic.

"Really the mate bond is that powerful" I say.

"Yeah course it is but then at the same time I would never leave Eddie because he is also my world" she says.

"Yeah and Chad may drive me insane at times, but I wouldn't change him, For anything" says Annie.

" I'm happy for you both" I say genuinely meaning it.

"You can have that to you know Jess, Jack already loves you. I know you feel that mate bond is there you just need to trust it and trust Jack" says Vic.

"I don't know it's still really scary" I say.

"I know, but that's okay we understand take your time" says Annie.

"You know for werewolves you are alright" I say

"Thanks for a human your alright to" laughs Vic.

"Alright the fire is out" says Jack.

"Ready to go back?" I ask.

"Yeah come on, let's get Jess back indoors where its warm" says Vic.

Jack comes up to me and wraps an arm around my shoulder "hey you know I'm pretty fast at running I could get you back quicker" he says.

"Really how fast" I say?

"How about I show you he" says while lifting me into his arms and I screech with laughter.

Jack's suddenly running very fast that it takes a matter of minutes to get back to the mansion. But he still don't put me down instead he runs all the way up all 6 flights of stairs while I'm laughing but trying to be serious in saying "I can walk from here you know" But Jack says "I know, but this is more fun".

He is right it is fun. I can't remember the last time a bloke made me laugh so much.

Before we know it, we are outside the doors between our rooms. He gently stands me on my feet then kisses my forehead saying "there you go sweetheart back in the warm".

"Thanks, but now I'm no longer tired you woke me up with that running" I say.

"So what do you do when you're not tired at home" jack says.

"Well I watch a movie in bed, but there's no TV in my room" I say.

"How about I get my laptop, and you can't watch something on there" says Jack

"Okay thanks" I say.

He quickly runs to his office to get his laptop and I go on into my room.

I quickly go get into a night dress a strappy silk black one which comes down to my knees. Then I put a matching dressing robe on over the top. Once I leave the bathroom I see Jack sat on the bed with his laptop open.

"Hey, what do you want to watch" he asks

"I'm not sure" I say as I go over to see he has Netflix up on the screen already.

"Come on he says I will help you find something before I leave you to it" he says.

"You know you could watch the movie with me if you like before you go to bed" I say.

"Really I love to" Jack says while giving me a big smile.

I climb into the bed and sit next to Jack pulling the covers over my legs to stay warm.

We decide on a Netflix original.

Only 20 minutes later it was Jack who fell asleep this time. "Jack, hey Jack" I say when the movie ended, but he is completely asleep. I don't want to yell too much or even nudge him, let's face it he is a werewolf if I scare him what's to say he won't turn into his wolf and attack me if I startle him, while he Is asleep.

I decide to close down his laptop leave it on the bedside unit. Not only that, but I then turned the lights out and gently climbed back into the bed and fell asleep worried in case I startle him before falling asleep myself.
