Jack POV
I am so embarrassed. I can't believe that I just told her that I am basically an untouched 35-year-old virgin. There has never been a female wolf that has ever gain mine or my wolfs attention at all. I have never had the need that other male wolf get for female attention. For a while I wondered if I were gay, but I never had that urge either, so I was relieved about that. I got nothing against same sex mates, but I just didn't feel that was for me. So, I just waited.
Years I waited and never once felt the sparks or the divine smell of one's mate until today. Everyone is right there no other smell that I would rather smell for the rest of my life. She smells of vanilla and spice, I will never tire of that smell ever. When she asked my age, I was afraid that she would think I was too old for her, but she surprised me yet again she was just eager to learn something about me. I cannot describe the feeling of finely meeting my mate after waiting so many years.
"Would like to walk to my place and meet my daughter? You don't have to, but my wolf has been very demanding about you accepting her pup" I could not help the smile that came to my face. I already loved her and I haven't even met her.
"To be honest, Jax has already laid claim to you and her. He is being very demanding about his mate and yes, I would love to meet her. What is her name?" I can tell that she was surprised by what I said, but we have already accepted them as ours and there is no way we were going to give them up by any means.
"Her name is Rory Jean, Jacob was the head warrior of our pack so I apologize ahead of time she can be a hand full. She is that terrible two stage." I can't help but laugh because of her statement. I love training the pups at our pack.
"She will just need some formal training and I will be glad to help her when she's older. Right now, she just needs a dad and I want to be that for her and for you. Well not your dad of course lol. Shall we?" I hold out my hand for her to take hoping I was not being to forward but luckily, she took it straight away not even thinking about it. This my wolf purr with happiness. We felt complete for the very first time since I turned eighteen.
As we walked, we just talked and asked question about each other. I learn her favorite color sky blue, she prefers jeans over dresses, pasta is her favorite food, and she loves to dance. We walked through the square back towards the pack house and down the hall towards what I assume was the pack nursery.
"Hi Lena, I just going to see Rory for a bit."
"Lena, is it? What Emily means is I am taking them out for the rest of the day." Lena smiles and walks away to get the pup. Emily jaws just drop with the revelation that this was not going to be a quick op in. "Emily, you didn't think that I was going to just spend five minutes with our pup and leave her here after just meeting her. Sweetheart we are going to spend some time together as a family. Time that you both deserve to get. I meant it when I said that Jax and I have already laid claim to you and Rory. You are my mate, and she is my pup from now on if you still want me." I look up at her and she is crying, I start to panic and try to figure what I did to upset her, but a rush of happiness is all I can feel from her, so I pull her to my chest and hold her. Emily buries her face into my chest, and I let out a growl just lower enough for her to feel it rumble in my chest. The closeness of my mate is making me feel things that I have never felt before and she knows it from the giggle that lets out.
"Mommy!" Is all I hear as the patter of little feet are heard coming through the room and little hands pulling Emily away from me. I shudder at the loss of contact between us but smile as Emily reaches down to pick up a tiny ball of energy as she starts to tickle her. Her laughter is extremely contagious, and I cannot help but smile as I watch the two of them.
'We have a family. We will make them happily and protect them with all we are.' Jax tells me. He is completely smitten by our mate and newfound pup.
'Yes we will and we are going to start that right now.' Jax just wags his tail in agreement.
"Rory, I want you to meet someone. This is Jack" I frown at how she introduces me to the pup. "Jack wants to join our family and he also wants to be your daddy. Would you like that?" My frown starts to disappear as the realization hits me that she wanted to explain things to the pup. I can already see that this pup is special, not sure why yet, but she must be protected.
Rory looks at me with an expression that I cannot read, cocks her head to the side as if she is reading me. "Dad-de" is all she said as she reaches her arms out for me to take her and I do with a smile on my face.
"Hey pumpkin, how about we find us a snack, take it to the park and play. I have someone who really wants to meet you. Are you okay with that Emily or do you have work to do?" I totally forgot that she must have an assignment from the alpha to do in the kitchen.
"Nope, the Alpha linked me and gave me the rest of the week off. So, I am all yours, let's get going because she will want to take a nap later." She grabs my hand as I am holding Rory and we head out of the pack house.
Family. I have a family. For the longest time I never thought I would ever have a family. Now I have a beautiful mate and a daughter. Emily is stunning, brown hair that just reaches to her shoulders, eyes the color of chocolate, lips that I wanted to taste constantly, and she has the perfect curves. When I hold her, she molds into me as if the goddess created us in the same mold. Her scent is so intoxicating, she radiates happiness right. For her I assume that she felt she would never feel the electricity if the bond. I take my arm, wrap it around her waist slightly pulling her next to me to give her kiss on the temple.
"We do you live?" Wondering if she lived in the pack house or if she was granted a homestead in the pack.
"I have a small cottage just up the way. That is where we are headed. Rory wants to show you something if you are okay with that." A slight blush tints her cheeks realizing that she is taking to her home for the first time since just meeting each other.
"I'd love to see what it is. And I'd love to spend more time with the both of you if you will still have me." I constantly want to make sure that she is okay with our mating. I really want her to genuinely want me as her mate not just because the goddess paired us, I really want her to fall in love with me. As I am already falling for her. The moment I seen her I knew that I loved her.
"That sounds great. I would love to get to know you better. And I think Rory would be more comfortable in a place she is familiar with." Kissing her temple again loving the feeling of her in my arms and relishing the fact that she wants me in her home once again.
"Here we are" I let her guide me up the steps to the door as she unlocks it, she looks over to me with a smile. "She's asleep, do you want me to take her and lay her down?" I look at the sleepy pup in my arms and all I can do is shake my head no. Looking at the pup makes my heart swell with pride.
