JESS POV
I woke up and I'm still in Jack's arms like he promised.
I remember last night and feel abit stupid. But then if it didn't happen maybe I wouldn't of realised that I've fallen in love with Jack. How can I fall in love with someone so quickly. Why can't he be human. This is all so much. Its all intense and I feel like a crazy person. My emotions have been everywhere since Saturday night. I miss my life when it was simple. What will happen if I decide to become luna to this pack of Jack's? I can't hurry into this I need to take my time and figure it out. I look at Jack and he is still asleep. He probably thinks I'm to much to handle after last night's outburst. I can't blame him I accused him of cheating and we not even officially a couple. I don't even know what we are. And it's been a rough few days will its always be like this? I just wanted to find someone to grow old with, I never thought I'd fall in love with a warewolve. And he is in charge of 400 pack members. I snuggle closer to Jack taking a deep breath trying to find comfort in his smell. He smells so good.
I feel Jack's arms slightly tighten the embrace in already in.
"Hmm" he says
"Sorry did I wake you" I ask.
"No what time is it" Jack ask
"Hang on let me check" I say
I try to move to check, but instead Jack rolls me on top of him
"No stay with me" he says
"You don't hate me then" I ask?
"Why would I hate you sweetheart?" he asks with an amused face
"Because I went physco last night accusing you of having enougher women" I say
"No i don't hate you if anything it tells me that you was jealous" Jack says
"No I wasn't I say" i say
"Yes you was" he argues back
"No I wasn't at all" I say
"I like that you were jealous though means you have feelings for me" Jack says
I just stay quiet.
"I only love you, I will always only love you" jack says while lifting my chin before kissing me.
"Sweetheart I think we should get you to see the doctor" Jack says as soon as he broke the sweet gentle kiss.
"Why" I ask confused .
"If you don't want children yet I respect that, but being a wolf I'm going to want you alot therefore you should go on birth control so I can respect your wishes!" Jack says.
"Okay I agree I will get an appointment with my gp" I say
"No need we have a pack doctor. One of the little pack houses that's slightly bigger is actually a little pack hospital . We can get a doctor to swing by today" Jack say .
"Okay but before 10am, I have plans today" I say
"What plans are they?" Jack asks.
"Your soon see" I say.
Jack checks the time "it's 8:10am" he says.
"Right come on quickly get changed then breakfast. I will have the doctor over for 9:30am. Vic can join you as I will be in a meeting. I will find you at 10am okay" Jack says suddenly.
"Okay then I guess" I say.
JACK'S POV
I left Jess with Vic to see the doctor.
I'm currently in my office with my parents, Eddie and Chad
"Anymore news on the rogues" I ask
"None yet" say Eddie
"Son I think we should contact nabouirong packs and warn them" my dad says.
"Yes I agree they may be able to help if things get messy" I say.
"Chad have the trackers found anything yet" I ask Chad.
"No not yet but its still early. They not long left okay." Chad replys.
"Eddie make sure the patrols stay doubled and I want status updates every hour from them" I say.
"Sure thing" says Eddie.
"By the way what was last night about" Eddie suddenly asks.
"Them damn rogue we sorted. Left Jess thinking I was with enougher women" I say.
"And is Jess okay now" asks my mum
"Yes mum it was a silly misunderstanding because I went back showered and she noticed she thought I was up to no good. It happened to her friend apperently" I say
"Poor dear so much to handle in so few days" my dad says.
"We need to make sure things stay settled otherwise she will leave you Jack" says my mum.
"Your mother is right" says my dad
"I know that's why she can't know we have more rogues wanting to attack.
When they strike I want them dealt with quickly" I say frustrated
"I think we should come up with a plan to keep it hidden." I say.
"Let's call it code hot chocolate" my mum says
"What do you mean" Chad says
"Well I have a plan when the times comes me, Vic and Annie shall all come running to where Annie is and suddenly claim girls time whisking her to the cinema room. There's not any window in there so she won't know a thing. Get Chad to lock us in and stand guard with your dad, While you Eddie and the warriors take down the rogues" my mum says.
"But until then everyone acts natural that's around Jess" I say
"I like the plan Eddie when the time comes you take control in sending the warriors out." I tell Eddie
"Chad you give the command to get all women and children to the safety zone. Also get Annie to have snacks and drinks ready in the cinema room secretly stashed for when the time comes." I tell Chad.
"Sure thing" he says while quickly mind linking Annie
"Right she is on it now" Chad says.
"Eddie bring Vic up to speed with the plan when we leave here" I say.
"Okay you can all leave now of you like I will quickly email the nearest packs before I find Jess" I say.
Everyone says there goodbyes before leaving my office.
I look at the time and it's 9:50 I promised Jess I'd free for 10 so I quickly type the emails out and send it to other packs. Before dashing out the door to find Jess.
I find Jess and Vic in the kitchen drink some fruit juices.
"Hey sweetheart you okay?" I ask Jess
"I'm fine" says Jess
"Sorry guys I gotta go Eddie says he needs to talk to me", Vic says
"Go go don't keep him waiting" I say as the ladies say goodbye to each other.
"So how did it go with the doctor, sorry I wasn't with you but I had important things to sort out" I say
"She was very nice I opted for the copper IUD as it works immediately and I don't want to chance anything" Jess says.
"Immediately aye" I say smiling.
"I don't know what your smiling about but I have plans that don't involves a bed" jess says
"Aww sweetheart it doesn't have to be a bed you know" I say teasingly
She slaps my arm gently while saying "behave yourself".
"Alright so what are we doing I ask"
"Your soon see it won't be much longer" she says.
PING
Jess checks her phone
"Oh, no" jess mumbles
"What's the matter" I ask?
"I forgot I made plans with Lisa for a catch up today. And I forgot to message saying I was on holiday like I did my mum. She just messaged checking we are still okay for today. I feel so bad" she says while typing a quick reply out.
"I'm sure she will understand" I say
"I know she will, She's my best friend and I miss her" jess says
"As soon as you come back from your pretend holiday you can see her then" I say.
" I know that" Jess says rolling her eyes at me.
JESS POV
I feel like a horrible best friend. I can't wait to see Lisa and my mum. There first on my list for catch ups.
I look at Jack and ask "did your meeting go okay?"
"Yeah don't worry sweetheart just some usual stuff" he says
I thought his dad was taking care of stuff. But suddenly he sneaks out in the middle of the night. Then he has a important meeting this morning. Something is going on. I just have a gut feeling. And I don't think it's good. At the same time with them all being warewolves I don't think I want to know either.
"Jess how much longer until this surprise you have planned" asks Jack breaking me from my thoughts.
"I'm not telling you" I say
"Stop hounding the poor love" comes Rita's voice
"Morning Rita" I say
"Morning dear" says Rita
"Son I see your as clueless as I am" says sam
"Seems so dad" Jack says
I chuckle "Rita it won't be much longer" I say.
"I know dear we spoke last night" Rita says indicating she spke with lola.
"Who did you speak to" asks Jack
"Shh" says Rita
I look at the time and see its 10:20am
"Alright I'm making a cup of tea anyone else want one?" I ask.
"I will have a coffee please, 1 sugar" says Sam.
"I'm good with water" says Jack holding his bottle of water up indicating its still half full.
"Can I have one of those famous hot chocolates of your I heard about" says Rita winking at me.
"Sure coming up" I say laughing.
10 minutes later I've got the drinks done and we are all chatting and laughing drinking our drinks.
before long Jack says
"Alright who driving in our territory to me and Rita"
We just laugh
"Im guessing this is the surprise" he says
Me and Rita just smile at each other.
"We promised to keep it a secret I said." Yes your see in around 10 minutes when they pull up" says Rita.
10 minutes later
DING DONG
DING DONG
"Go get the door then" I say to Jack.
He grabs my hand and takes me with him.
Jack opens the door stood there is a women of average height, red curly hair, dark brown eyes. She is wearing a white shirt with a blue jacket over it. Black trousers with black high heels.
A bloke is stood roughly Jack's height. He has mossy brown short hair, green/blue somewhere between eyes. He is wearing a yellow shirt, black trousers and black shoes.
Before I have time to say hi I'm being pulled into a hug by the lady who says "hey Jess I'm lola".
Jack's shout "omg I can't believe your here Mick! Why didn't you tell me" .
"Well lola here teamed up with your mum and Jess here to make it's a surprise. I was threatened if I told you I'd be sleeping on the sofa for a month! Hell that ain't happening boy even for you!" Mick says.
Jack laughs.
JACK'S POV
I can't believe one of my best friends is here it's seems like ages. His mate is also a human. Maybe he can give me some advice how to win my mates heart!
" Come in" I tell them and we head to the kitchen.
Lola is chatting with Jess telling her how excited she is to meet Jess. Jess is agreeing how she is glad there's enougher female human who knows how she feels.
When we reach the kitchen everyone says there greetings to each other.
"So Mick, Lola how long you staying for?" I ask?
"Just one night, Lola here was very excited to meet Jess after your mum's phone call. She kept hounding me to keep things as free as possible because once she heard from Jess she was going to make sure we came here in person. So when Jess messaged yesterday Lola was bouncing of the walls telling me to hurry up and pack because we were coming here today" Mick says
"No guessing in rules the pack at yours then" says my mum
"You know me Rita I always get what I want from Mick here" Lola says.
"How do you do that" says Jess whispering to Lola.
"Don't worry I will tell you later when wolf ears are not listen" she whispers back.
Clearly my Jess forgot good us wolfs can hear everything I think to myself.
I start laughing to see Jess looking at me with daggers.
"Sweetheart it's not my fault you were speaking to loud" I say.
"I wasn't I was whispering, plus it's rude to ears drop" she says
"Alright stop teasing the poor dear" says my mum.
"Alright I won't say no more" I say
"Now you men off you go me and the girls need to talk" say my mum
"Alright" me dad and Mick say.
I quickly give Jess a kiss on the forehead before leaving them alone.
JESS POV
Once the men left I said to Rita "its impressive how no one argues with you".
"Oh dear ask Lola here it's easily done" says Rita.
"Of course it is when I became luna Rita here gave me a few tips along with a few other lunas and let's just say you don't need to be a wolf to to achieve what you want" lola says
"Really" I ask
"Yes really and trust me Rita here will help you and so will I of you chose to not reject Jack." says Lola
"Reject him what do you mean?" I ask
"Did Jack not explain this to you" asks Rita
"No" i say well confused
"Well when warewolves find there mates they can either choose to accept them or reject them. If you reject them they may not get a second mate. But sometimes and very rarely the moon goddess will allow a second chance mate. But Jack being alpha will be stronger if you accept him as his mate he will become stronger or weaker possibly if you reject him" lola says.
"Why didn't Jack tell me this" i ask.
"I don't know but I'm about to find out* says Rita.
" Lola Jess I'm sure you two will get along lovely if your excuse me I need a word with my son." Rita then adds on
" Okay are you still joining us for the movie tonight?" I ask Rita before she leaves.
" Of course dear after all you planned it for our guests" Rita says
And off Rita goes in search of Jack.
"U think Jack's about to get his ass whooped" I say
"I'm sure he is" giggles Lola.
"So how are you holding up" asks Lola.
"It's all pretty scary stuff. A week ago I was leading a normal life and now I'm surround by warewolves" I say
"Yeah I remember that feeling it can be pretty intense espically with the mate pull. But it gets easier. I really enjoy being a luna. Our whole pack adores me and frets over everything, where I'm human" lola says.
"That's the thing what if someone hates me and eats me" I say.
"Trust me there be someone to protect you your be safe. Anyone who hates you would get banished. And I'm sure if anyone tried to hurt you Jack would tear them apart" lola says.
"What about your family though did you tell them?" I ask
"No i don't think there believe me they just think I married someone rich. I see them all the time though" lola says.
"Did you actually get married?" I ask
"Yes I insisted on it. Just because they have different ways doesn't mean I don't want romance I'm human still, so I made sure I got my white wedding dress" lola says.
"I'd love to get married one day I don't think I could give up a real wedding either" I say.
"If you want a wedding your get your wedding I will help you make it happen. When your ready of course." lola says smiling at me.
"Thankyou" I say.
"How did you know if it was the right thing or not" I then ask.
"I found it hard like you. I just took my time and Mick he was very understanding he waited 6 months for me to finally accept him and his pack" says lola.
"I've only got two weeks well just over a week left now. I made a deal of two weeks. I don't think I'm ready for that yet" I say.
"You should talk to Jack I'm sure he will understand and give you more time. In the meantime you have my number I'm always a phone call away" lola says
"I'm glad you understand what I'm going though. It's nice to have someone who fully understands everything I'm going through" I say
