30 TWO WOLVES
Ruby POV
As I shower, I can’t help but think about the events of the day. I know I shouldn’t be angry with Connor, but I can’t help it. Autumn is amazing, sweet, and kind. She deserves a mate that will love her for who she is. I know in my heart that Connor is a good man, but I don’t know if he will get past the fact that we are wolves. I pray for her sake that he can. “Ruby, what do you think Maverick wants to talk to us about,” Gemma asks. I’m as worried as she is about Maverick, saying we needed to have a discussion. A pit forms in my stomach thinking about all the possibilities. “I’m not sure Gemma. I knew he looked upset when we had rushed from our room to go fight the vampires and warlock. Maybe this is all too much for him. We grew up in this world, but he didn’t.” She whimpers and my heart squeezes in my chest. I get out drying off and grab my pajamas. I’m exhausted after everything that happened today, but I know sleep will not come easily. I open the door and he is sitting on the side of the bed. His eyes meet mine and he gives me a small smile. Maverick walks into the bathroom when I walk out and closes the door behind him. I can feel his anxiety, worry, and fear through our bond. It’s overwhelming and I pray that we can get past this with our bond intact.
I sit in a chair in the room we now share waiting for him to come out of the bathroom. Gemma is pacing in my mind. I can’t help the worries that are running through my head. I wonder if he regrets accepting our bond. What if he rejects the bond because of these attacks? He has to know that I will protect him and his mother with my life. Gemma whimpers at the thought of losing our mate. The door opens and I look up into his beautiful blue eyes. The eyes of this man that I love so much. His expression is unreadable. The fear gets the better of me. “Have you changed your mind about being my mate, Maverick?” When I’m scooped into his strong arms and the tingles dance on my skin everywhere our skin touches, I relax in his arms. Hearing him tell me how much he loves me is the sweetest words I’ve
ever heard. I’m never letting this man go and to know he feels the same way makes both Gemma and I so happy. I’m in shock when he says he wants to be a wolf. My mother and grandmother are both amazing leaders and I don’t expect him to be anything but what he is right now. “Maverick, you’re right. I love you exactly the way you are. The moment Gemma and I realized that you were our mate, we felt no disappointment that you are not a wolf. The goddess chose you for me because she knows that you are strong and perfect for me. Is this because I went to fight and you were worried about me, because I promise you that Gemma and I are strong.” He takes my face in his hands. “This is not about your strength. I know how strong and capable you are. I love that you are an Alpha wolf that is fierce. This is about me wanting to be the best Alpha for my mate and for our pack. I don’t make this request lightly.”
“I listened to your mother and honestly I respect her resolve to remain human as an Alpha. I have been thinking about this since that night and I want this, Ruby. Watching you run out of our room to protect our pack and having to stay behind just solidified my decision. I want to stand beside you in every way and I need to have a wolf to do that. I need to be whole.” “Maverick, I don’t even know if this is possible or if it’s too dangerous to try. I can’t lose you.” “I can’t explain it, love, but I believe in my heart that this is meant to happen. I am meant to be an Alpha Wolf.” He is so sure of what he is saying. “Gemma, what do you think about Maverick becoming a wolf?” I think we should listen to our mate just like we would want him to listen to us. He has made it clear that he is not just doing this for us and I think we should respect his decision.” “What if this could hurt him? We can’t lose him. Gemma?” “Our mate is strong and it is not our place to make this decision. He may belong to us as our other half, but that doesn’t mean we own his decisions. We need to respect what he wants.” I know she is right. “We will need to talk to my parents, the pack doctor, and my aunt to make sure that this is safe. If they assure us that it is, then I will change you.” I swear the smile on his face looks like I offered him a million dollars. “I love you, Maverick. You are my mate and Alpha.” He slams his lips down on mine and kisses me, pouring all his love into this kiss. He pulls back and places his forehead to mine. “I can’t wait to mark you as a wolf” he says, brushing his fingers across the mark I have now. I can’t help the shiver that runs down my body. He lifts me, laying me on our bed. He kisses me one more time before he
pulls my back to his front. “I love you Ruby more than you will ever know. I will spend the rest of my life doing everything I can to show you how grateful I am that you accepted me as I am. That you are my other half.” He kisses the back of my head and I fall into the most peaceful sleep.
Connor POV
“Autumn”, I start to say and she cuts me off. “Let me say something first and then you can speak. I promise this is about how I feel and not about what I think you are going to say.” I nod and smile that she listened to what I said earlier. “Connor, I am a wolf-witch hybrid and a warrior. That is never going to change. I love who I am and I’m sorry if that is hard for you to accept. I want you to be my mate and to love me for who I am, but if you can’t then I understand. This is a lot for anyone to deal with, especially since you had no idea that we even existed. You are an amazing man and the goddess knew that when she picked you for me. I accept you, Connor, even if you can’t accept me.” I can feel unshed tears in my eyes. How can she want me with such resolve? I’m weak compared to her strength. I can’t protect or defend her if she needs me, which she probably won’t and yet she wants me to be her mate. “Connor, what did you want to say?” She brings me out of my thoughts and I stare into her beautiful brown eyes. I was so ready to tell her I couldn’t do this, but I can’t bring myself to say the words. It’s selfish of me to want her because she deserves a mate that is her equal.
“Autumn, when I watched you run into danger to defend your pack, I realized I will never be able to do that. I will never be able to protect you.” “Connor” she starts to say, but I give her a look. She raises her hands in surrender. “I know that it may be stupid, but I want to be able to protect you. Walking into the cottage, I felt so useless. I love that you are strong and special. I accept you as the bad a** that you are, but I don’t want to be your mate as a human.” I see pain and fear in her eyes. “Let me finish Autumn. I have no intentions of letting you go or rejecting you. I told you that already.” Now she looks confused. “I’m not sure if it’s even possible because all I know of werewolves is what I have seen in movies, but if it’s possible I want you to make me a wolf. You’re a witch, so can you put a spell on me that makes me a wolf?” She chuckles “that isn’t exactly how it works.” “Autumn, this isn’t just about youContent property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
deserving to have a mate that can be your equal. I hate myself for feeling this way, but I need to be able to protect my mate, I need to be able to protect you. I need to feel like I’m a man worthy of having an amazing woman. Feeling weak will make me feel less than.”
I see sympathy and love in her eyes. I take her hand in mine. “I want to be your mate, but I need to feel worthy of you. This is about me.” “I will speak to Ruby, Uncle Lake, and Aunt Gabby. As the Alphas, we need to know if this can happen and if they approve of it.” I can’t help myself and pull her into my arms. I’m shocked when she pulls my face to hers, pressing her lips to mine. I will never tire of feeling this woman’s lips on mine. I have kissed women, but it has never felt like this before. I can’t imagine what it will feel like to be inside her the first time. I can feel my c**k twitch in my pants. She pulls back into my eyes “if this can’t happen you will still be mine. I refuse to let you go.” I smile “the fact that you are willing to give this to me Autumn means more to me than you will ever know. You are mine and we will make this work.”
Unknown POV
“How could you have f**ked this up so badly? You and the other a**holes had only two things to do. How hard is it to get rid of an old man and an infant.” “We are doing our best. The wolves have made it more difficult.” I grab him by the throat. “I don’t want excuses Ernest. If you don’t get rid of that hatchling and William, I will kill your a**es myself.” I drop him to the floor. “He has found his fated mate.” I stop dead and stare at him with black eyes. “How the f**k did he find his mate?” “When he went to get Luna, he found her in the wolf pack.” “He is mated to a f**king mutt.” He nods and I roar. “Have they marked and mated?” “Not yet but I fear it will happen soon.” He tells me about Blake, Timothy, and Monica. “Blake is dead and those two idiots got themselves arrested. That only leaves you and Jacob to finish the job. I want the three of them dead and out of my way. Luca will easily be manipulated into following my orders once they are dealt with. You will be made the head of the council once they kill Timothy.” He smiles and nods. “Leave and don’t return until they are dead. Do you understand me, Ernest?” “Yes, ma’am” he says leaving my office.
Luca POV
I’m sitting behind my desk just thinking. After we spoke with the doctor and nurses from the hospital, I needed some time alone. Jade knew and kissed me, leaving to check on Luna. I’m so grateful for her. Thankfully, the doctor and nurses had no involvement in Cynthia’s death, but they did tell us that both Timothy and Monica came to see her in the hospital. I can’t believe I didn’t realize that they hurt her. That they tried to take my daughter from me. I spoke to my father and the current council will be disbanded and we hold new elections for the seats. I don’t trust any of the current members. A soft knock sounds on the door and I catch her scent before the door opens. She walks in and my body immediately relaxes. She walks over and I’m shocked when she climbs onto my lap and straddles my thighs. “Brooklyn and Sherman are keeping Luna for tonight.” My eyes darken and I can see her wolf is at the surface. I pick her up without a word and carry her back to our room. Tonight, I make this incredible woman my Queen.
