A few minutes later, the phone rang. I answered it only to be greeted by a woman screaming in excitement, which could only mean one thing. It was definitely a call meant for Kaylie.
Kaylie’s POV
I woke up to see my little boy next to me still fast asleep. I rubbed my eyes and observed the room. Tyler was standing over me holding a phone out to me. Guess it must be important.
I took the phone only to be greeted by a screaming Alice and I didn’t mean screaming in pain but screaming in excitement.
“Hello Alice is everything alright?” I asked concerned.
“Oh Kaylie, you and Alpha Tyler should come over immediately, there is something you should see.”
“Alright, we’ll be there soon” I said before hearing the line disconnect.
I turned to Tyler and filled him in.
“We’ll drop Jayden off at my mum’s then,” Tyler said.
“Yeah that sounds good, I’ll pack him a bag,” I said walking into Jayden’s room and pulling out a bag.
I began to fill it with nappies, a few pairs of clothes and pajamas, some singlets, shoes, a few bottles, a jumper, and a blanket to wrap him in when we bring him home to keep out the cold. Even though he was a full-blooded werewolf and was hot blooded I was protective of my baby and I did not want to see him sick.
Tyler bought a still sleeping Jayden in his arms and I wrapped him in the blanket before both of us walking downstairs and locking the door. We dropped Jayden off and continued to Alice’s house. When we knocked on the door, a smiling Alice greeted us.
“I am so glad you are here, come in, come in.”
We entered the house to see no one was home which was strange. Felicity was always at home lately with Jackson. Felicity had turned sixteen a few weeks ago and so far we had heard nothing about her shifting.
“Alice what is wrong?” I asked just a little confused.
“Oh Kaylie I have the best news and you just have to see it yourself, I have never been so happy in all my days, if it wasn’t for the both of you my little girl never would have has the chance to live. You both gave her a second chance.”
She led us out to her large backyard that was in close proximity to the forest just like most of the pack houses. In plain sight were two wolves. One was a light grey while the other was slightly bigger and a darker grey. I soon realised that these wolves had to be Felicity and Jackson.
Felicity had shifted. She had survived, and she looked healthy and happy with her mate by her side just like it was supposed to be.
“Oh my god she did it, she shifted. This is great news.”
I was so happy for her. All the time I had spent with her while she was in hospital, I had gotten to know her. All she wanted was to be a wolf and find her mate like everyone was supposed to.
I turned to Tyler smiling remembering how we were when we first found out we were mates. He returned my smile and pulled me in for a hug.
For the next few hours Alice, Tyler and I watched Felicity and Jackson until they shifted back.
Felicity pulled me in for a hug.
“Can you believe it Kaylie, I finally shifted and I have my mate,” she said smiling while her attention was all to Jackson. He watched on from his spot on the couch, his gaze following Felicity wherever she went.
Now that they were both of age and shifted Tyler could give them permission to mate.
We stayed for a few more hours before we decided to leave. I was dying to see my little boy and all I wanted was to have a warm bubble bath and cuddle up to my mate. We promised we would come and visit Felicity and Jackson soon to see how they were doing after mating. Alice was over the moon and would not stop thanking Tyler and I. She wasn’t too happy about the mating aspect, but she knew that it had to be done.
Tyler took my hand as we made our way back to his parent’s house. I really wanted to cuddle our son and I felt Tyler on edge too. He did not handle being away from his son either. Tyler was just as bad as a mother wolf. He was constantly fretting over Jayden. He blamed it on him being next in line for the Alpha title.
Once we got to Anna’s place she was in the lounge room with Jayden in her lap, wrapped in his blanket. She was making noises at him to whom he responded with gurgles and giggles.
Seeing him but an instant smile on my face. I turned to Tyler to see him gazing at his son in amazement it was the cutest thing I had ever seen.
Finally, Anna spotted us.
“Hello you two, how did everything with Alice go?”
“It went great. Felicity made the change and Tyler gave her and Jackson permission to complete their mating. Felicity looks so healthy and happy and Alice would not stop thanking us.”
“That is great news. I am glad that she has healed well with Jackson being around. It is amazing what a mate can do for some of us.”
I just smiled in response for I could not agree more. Tyler had changed me for the better. He made me complete again after everything that had gone wrong with my family. He made me happy again after I had not for so long. He had given me a blessing; our beautiful son and our mating bond.
He was the other half of my soul and he could understand me in a way no one else had. He was not interested in being with his friends and drinking. All he cared about was being the best possible Alpha he could be, an amazing mate to me and a father to our son Jayden.
“How has he been for you mum?” asked Tyler breaking me from my trance.
“He’s been such a good boy; he hasn’t had a nap so he should sleep all through the night for you. It’s so good having him around. Babies are an instant stress reliever I cannot believe how big he is getting and in three months, he will be one, where has the time gone?”
Tyler interrupted her.
“I know mum, time was gone really fast, but we should get him home. He’s due for a sleep and a bottle I’m sure, did you bath him?”
“Yes he’s all clean for mummy and daddy.”
She had one last hug before handing him to Tyler who looked a little more at ease once Jayden was in his arms.
She gave me a quick hug and then we left. Rick was out with a few friends and would not be home till late. We walked back to our place and sat in the kitchen. I got started on dinner while Tyler made Jayden a bottle.
I pulled out some leftovers from the night before and placed it into two bowls before placing one in the microwave. Once Jayden was fed, I placed a kiss on his head before Tyler put him to bed.
Once both our bowls had been warmed up, I placed them on the table and got some drinks. Tyler came back down and started to eat. We talked about the day before Tyler went to have a shower.
I started to clean up and had agreed to meet Tyler in the shower for some much-needed couple time. I didn’t get enough time with him and I certainly missed it.
Once the kitchen was clean, I headed upstairs and shredded my clothes before stepping into the bathroom. Steam filled the room and the silhouette of Tyler’s body was outlined against the glass door thanks to the low illuminating lights. He looked good enough to eat. I eagerly opened the door and stepped inside.
Tyler pulled me into his arms and began to kiss my neck before moving slowly to my lips. I traced his back muscle, easily getting distracted. He was too good looking for his own good.
After a few hot make out sessions, we took turns washing each other with the soapy water. This was better than a bubble bath and I could certainly get used to this every night.
We did other things before getting out and drying off.
We decided to cuddle and just talk tonight. There was something that Tyler wanted to talk about.
Tyler’s POV
After our steamy session in the shower, all I wanted to do was hold her in my arms and feel her presence. It was an amazing feeling to be able to come home and sleep next to the most important thing in my life. I got to wake up to the most beautiful girl in the world and the other half of myself.
She was on the bed sitting cross legged waiting for m
e while I cleaned up the bathroom.
I sat down and stared at her, running my hands through her long hair.
“You’re beautiful, you know that?” I said kissing her forehead.
“Is that right?” she said blushing slightly.
“You have no idea what you do to me, you know that?” I told her.
Chapter 34
Kaylie’s POV
The days all seemed to blend together. Most of my time was spent with my family; meaning Jayden and Tyler.
Once a week we would have dinner with his parents and I would check in with Felicity and Jackson to see how they were doing as a newly mated couple. Felicity’s health was great and she looked so beautiful and healthy. It was unbelievable just how far she had come. A few weeks ago, she had been given the all clear and was no longer required to go back and forth to the hospital. She was finally discharged as a long-term patient.
Time was passing by so fast and in a few days, it would be my little man’s first birthday. Tyler was busy planning for it.
Lately, Tyler was not interested in his friends and would just spend all his time with Jayden and me. Actually, I think it will be the first time he has seen his friend’s since Jayden was born.
No one really had anything to do with my son except for Tyler, his parents, Felicity and myself. I was hoping that one of the girls in the pack would fall pregnant soon. It would let me make some friends. I had shut myself off from the outside world after I had Jayden.
All the couples who were over eighteen had the option to mate when the females were on heat to try and conceive a pup. So far, none of the couples had chosen to mate while on heat. None of the couples wanted a pup just yet, so they took precautions to try and prevent it. Most of the couples were working, going off to college, or training to protect the pack, something I had no drive to do.
I was never interested in college. I never really had many friends and I had not heard from Imogen or my mother since I had left the pack. Having friends was not something I was very good at. That much was obvious and I was certain that that would never change. Until I met Tyler, I was never very good at anything besides getting in the way. I had come to realise that Tyler and Jayden made me a better person. I was meant to be a mother and I was good at being Luna. The pack and my family was my life now. I had come to love my life and being involved in my pack.
*
The last week had been frantic trying to organize Jayden’s 1st birthday. I had managed to get all the decorations last week. Jayden’s birthday presents had been bought a long time ago to give me one less thing to worry about. Tyler still wanted to pick up a few things for him. I had been a slave to my kitchen by cooking more cupcakes and cakes than I could count. Baking was something that I was good at.
Tyler was organizing with his friends the finer details of the party. Tyler wanted everyone to relax and enjoy the day. He certainly did not want me stressing about anything and he wanted Jayden to enjoy it more than anything.
He had organized one of the boys to be the DJ. We were also planning to combine Jayden’s first birthday and officially introduce our son and the future Alpha to the rest of the pack.
On the day, we would announce whom we had picked as Jayden’s godparents. I had left the decision to Tyler. There was no one I wanted as my son’s godparents. I was not close to anyone in that way and I would not ask that of Felicity. Tyler was Alpha and he knew what would be best for our son. I was definitely not a people person.
Something caught my attention and I soon realised that it was the front door and someone was knocking. I immediately thought it was Felicity. She occasionally dropped in. Tyler and his parents both had keys and would not knock.
I went to the door with Jayden on my hip only to find a young girl standing in my door way.
“Can I help you?” I asked.
“Yes you can Luna” she replied. “May I come in?”
I stepped aside to let her enter my house.
“What can I do for you?” I asked her. It was clear that she came for a reason.
“I was hoping you had an answer for this,” she said lifting up her shirt where a very clear baby bump was visible.
“How the hell is that possible?” I asked.
“Well I am mated, and you know what happens between mates when you sleep – “I cut her off.
“Yes I know what happens but you definitely do not look over eighteen.”
“Yeah I’m seventeen, a few months off eighteen actually, but my mate is nineteen and I’m not sure how this happened well I know how it happened but I know that the rule is only mates who are both over eighteen can fall pregnant.”
“Yeah I see your problem, just give me one second. I’ll call Tyler”.
I quickly grabbed my phone and pressed my speed dial. Tyler answered my call within the first five rings.
“Hey Kaylie, what’s up?”
“I need you to come back home as fast as you can. We may have a slight problem”.
“Okay, I’ll be there in less than five” he said.
While we waited, I made the young girl and myself a cup of tea. I had found out her name was Kate and she was close to eighteen. Her Mate, Jack, was nineteen and was training to be a warrior for the pack.
They had been together for three years and had a very rich sex life. Due to the law about not being able to conceive until the Alpha gave consent and both mates were over eighteen.
Because Kate was not over eighteen it was an issue and the rule should have been in effect. Somehow, the Alpha order placed by Tyler’s father and Tyler was ineffective and this caused a real problem for all the mates under the age of eighteen.
I could hear Tyler opening the door appeared in the lounge room where Kate, Jayden and myself was.
“What’s wrong?” he asked.
“Kate, show Tyler what you showed me”
She lifted up her shirt up once again and showed Tyler the clear protruding baby bump.
“What the fuck, how is that possible” he said clearly pissed off.
“I’m asking myself the same thing Alpha,” said Kate.
Suddenly I had an idea.
“I think I know how,” I said turning to look at my son who was on the floor happily playing with his toys.
They all turned to stare at Jayden.
“You don’t think he did it?” Tyler asks me.
“I think he did. If he wished for someone his age and no one wanted to conceive now who was over eighteen he used his gift to make the age lower so he would get his wish.”
Kate looked like she thought we were crazy.
“Are you trying to tell me that an almost one year old who is in line as future Alpha lifted the rule and made me fall pregnant because he wanted another child to play with?”
“Something like that Kate, under Alpha orders you cannot tell anyone this information I am about to tell you but Jayden inherited the white wolf gene and has certain powers. You would not have fallen pregnant unless you and your mate wanted to have a pup. That’s the way it works”.
“Well I mean we’ve talked about it but I ever thought it could happen. I did want a pup young but Jack was not so sure about the idea and for Jayden to be able to do that. He is really special”.
“Yes he is,” I said “but we need to stop this, we can’t have so many young pups having pups. That is not the way it is supposed to work”.
“That’s true” Tyler states.
After a few more hours of talking, Kate left. We had decided that we would discuss it at Jayden’s party and announce to the pack about Jayden’s abilities. They needed to know and they had a right too.
I trusted my pack enough to know that they would protect their future Alpha. I told her that if she needed to talk she was always welcome. She asked me a few questions about labour and being pregnant with Jayden.
She was excited and she was eighteen in less than two months. Her mate Jack had stopped by to take her home and we spoke with him to let him know about the
situation.
I made dinner and gave Jayden a quick bath before putting him to bed. Over dinner, Tyler and I talked about our day and what we could do about the Kate situation.
Tyler looked concerned.
“Baby, what’s wrong, you look like something’s bothering you?” I ask
“A while ago one night when I couldn’t sleep I was reading some of Dad’s old books to see what I could find about the white wolf gene and Jayden’s gifts. I came across a prophecy about a wolf. When I was reading it all I could think about was Jayden. The prophecy stated that a wolf born to an Alpha had the gene. He inherited the gene from his mother. The mother inherited the gene from her father and was the only wolf in her family to inherit it. That sounds like you. The prophecy also said that they had two children a boy and a girl. Their son would bring the packs to a new age or if he went down the wrong path he could cause the destruction of all the packs.”
He showed me the passage.
“Ancient legends tell of a new form of wolves. This wolf will take over his father’s pack on the eve of his eighteenth birthday. His pack has been in his family for generations.
His mother was a powerful wolf, inheriting the white wolf gene from her father. She was one of the few wolfs with the gene left. She was the only one in her family to inherit the gene. She married a great wolf and bore him two children a boy and a girl.
The daughter will not inherit the gene but the son will have abilities beyond that known. His talents will exceed anything the wolves have ever known and his powers will beyond that of what we know of the gene. He will lead the wolves into a new age. He will be great and conquer many things. He will be a new type of warrior and lead his pack into a new age.
However, he must not let the dark overtake him. He must choose his own path. If he allows the dark to possess him it could be the end of the species. The end of all wolves and the end of the gene.”
