Roxy's pov
"Asia! You get back here young lady! "
Ah, there it is. Lilly and Asia's daily fights.
Ace chuckled from beside me, given that it was just 6 in the morning and Asia was already throwing a
tantrum.
Teenage girls. Always so daring.
Lilly and her daughter would have it out for each other every morning for a different reason. Asia just
thought that her mom was being overbearing and unreasonable, but I could never tell.
Calum would bring peace between the two, and by the end of the day they would be cuddling and
watching a show together.
It's such a cute relationship really, but I'm glad I didn't have to deal with that kind of drama.
My fifteen year old son never fought with me. He was respectful, kind and open-minded--surely great
qualities for a future Alpha. I never knew how I could be so blessed, but I'm glad I was.
I heard a knock on my bedroom door, and I stared at it with a knowing look.
"Your turn" Ace mumbled in the pillow, and I dragged myself to the door with a small smile on my face.
This was Asia's thing. She would seek refuge with me or Jane until her dad comes and fetches her
away. I never minded though. She was always like a daughter to me.
I opened the door and was met with a sad looking Asia. Her bright auburn hair was messy and tangled
in a bun, and she wore her cute puppy pyjamas with a pout on her lips.
"Hi aunt Roxy" she mumbled shyly. I chuckled and pulled her into a tight hug.
"Happy birthday sweetheart"
"Thank you. It hasn't started pretty happy though. " She fiddled with the strings of her pants, and I
carried her inside and sat her on the couch.
"Why are you fighting with your mom on your birthday?"
She huffed and straightened her back, something she always did when she was ready to tell me about
the fights. "I went to her room to ask her if I could go to the field and shift, but she refused to let me go!
How is that fair? It's my first time shifting and she's being unsupportive. On. My. Sixteenth. Birthday! "
I smiled slyly and took her hands in mine. "Did she say you couldn't, or did she say you couldn't right
now? "
"She said I couldn't right now" She mumbled, knowing where I was going with this.
"She's just trying to keep you safe Asia. It's 6 in the morning and no one is out yet. I'm sure she wanted
you to go later in the day when it's safer. You know, since the whole rogue incident last week"
"Yea but you guys caught him, and he was alone"
"It's still too soon. And don't you think it's just a little bit too early in the morning? "
She chuckled and shook her head. "I guess I was just excited."
"I know. Every wolf is when it's their first day. Just be easier on your mom. She really loves you "
"She is kinda pretty cool, isn't she? " I threw her a ‘duh’ look, and we both laughed.
"Sorry if I woke you uncle Ace" She called towards the bed, where Ace was pretending that he wasn't
listening.
"Aah that's okay love. I had to be up soon anyways, I have a meeting today. And happy birthday. I left
you your gift in the foyer"
"Why the foyer? "
He smirked. "You'll see"
The door then flew open, and a sleepy looking Niall stepped through. His hair was messy and he was
rubbing his eyes, and I noticed how Asia perked up by his entrance.
My son has always been a charmer. Maybe I was being biased, but he was the most handsome fifteen
year old in the history of fifteen year olds. This didn't go unnoticed by Asia.
She's always had a crush on him, and I knew she wanted him to be her mate. But the minute he came
closer and her face fell, I knew he wasn't.
Since she's sixteen now, her wolf is awakened in her and she'll be able to scent out her mate. But
apparently it wasn't my son. I felt for her, but you can't mess with fate.
"Do you have to wake everyone in the house even on your birthday? " He grinned as he approached us
and pulled her into a hug.
Ace threw me a look, and I simply shook my head, answering his silent question. Niall, who hadn't
gotten a 'you're my mate' reaction from her, looked sorta disappointed too, but he shook it off.
"I'm sorry. I was just excited. That's all"
"That's cool. Jared and I will go later to shift. I can't wait to see your wolf"
Jared was Jane and Scott's son. He was just a few months younger than Niall, and the three were
basically inseparable. They'll work well side by side one day.
Jane got pregnant again two years after Jared was born, but she lost the baby and they never went
again. Well of course they 'went again', but they never tried the baby thing again after that. It was heart
wrenching really.
She went through a lot at that time, and Lilly and I tried to give her as much support as possible.
Luckily, after a long while she sorta got over it and went back to her normal peachy self, but she was
too scared to go again.
And so was I. But for totally different reasons.
Ace wanted more pups, but I just couldn't go through that again. Giving birth is like stretching your
bottom lip and forcing it over your head. And even after so many years, I still had very low tolerance for
pain.
So, I stuck with my one baby boy. And I'm so proud of the man he's becoming.
He led Asia out of our room, where she met her parents and their voices died down as they went down
the hall. I looked to Ace who was sitting up in the bed, shirtless and looking great as ever.
I bit my lip and locked the door, then I slowly walked to him with a sexy smirk on my face.
"What time are Luka and Victoria getting here? " I asked in a seductive voice, tracing my finger over his
hard chest.
"Around 12." He replied huskily. "Why? "
I didn't answer. I only climbed on top of him and crashed my lips onto his.
***
"Okay everyone in position!"
They all stood up and lined the living room when we heard Alpha Luka pull up. Even though we were
alliances for years and we've become friends, we still welcomed them formally.
Ace went to the door to greet them, and I noticed they had their son and Victoria's sister with them. I've
never met the two, but I was eager to now.
"Luna Roxanna. It's nice to see you again" Victoria exclaimed as she hugged me. Everyone did their
greetings, and it was nice to have the formal air gone.
Victoria and Luka were the Alpha and Luna of one of our strongest alliances, The Brightwater Pack.
Over the years we've met for various reasons, so we became friends. The formality was solely for
work.
"Hi I'm Zoey, Victoria's sister. She brought me here because she thought I was gonna shave my head "
The young girl said and we all laughed.
I shook her hand and welcomed her to the packlands. She seemed sweet, but I understood why
Victoria would want to keep an eye on her teenage sister.
She looked around the same age as Niall, and she was actually very pretty. She had light brown skin
with coily loose curls that fell to her shoulder. She and Victoria had the same brown eyes and some
other similar features, but since they had different dads they looked slightly different.
Levi on the other hand, who was their son, had everything for Luka. He was quite an eye catcher too,
just like my son.
A thudding sound on the stairs caught all our attention, and I turned to see that it was Niall himself.
Speak of the devil.
"I didn't notice you guys have arrived. It's nice to see you again." He greeted politely when he noticed
the extra bodies in the room. "I'm sorry for intruding, I was just passing by"
"Niall" I warned. He must know better than to just try and leave like this. "Come introduce yourself,
don't you notice the new faces?"
His eyebrows shot up as he noticed Zoey and Levi who were standing across from him. I noticed how
he watched Zoey for a while longer, but he quickly composed himself and went towards them.
"My apologies" He smiled down at Levi, who was already sizing up respectfully to another future Alpha.
"Niall Wilson, pleasure meeting you" It was sweet how professional he was being with the eight year
old. It showed us that he had character.
"Levi Jones. Pleasure meeting you too"
Niall then proceeded to Luka and Victoria, shaking their hands and expressing greetings.
"Luna Victoria. Looking as beautiful as ever" He cooed, placing a kiss on her hand. I nearly laughed at
my son's gesture, as everyone chuckled.
Ace shook his head amusingly, and Luka chuckled lightly while Victoria just blushed at him. As I said,
always a charmer.
Then he turned to Zoey, and all boldness and confidence faded. I saw him visibly swallow, and he
looked like my six year old son who broke my favourite vase rather than the bold future Alpha.
"Uh-hi. I'm uh..um"
"Niall, I know" Zoey finished with a blush, and he too broke out in a burning red. "I'm Zoey"
From where I stood, I noticed how his eyes softened a huge fraction at the sound of her name, as he
worded it silently with his mouth.
She then pushed out a hand to shake, and the minute they touched, both their eyes widened and they
pulled back as fast as they touched.
We all watched them strangely, and Ace and I shared a look before sharing a look with Luka and
Victoria.
"I feel like I've known you all my life." Zoey whispered softly, both of them still staring at each other as if
they were the only persons in the room.
"And you're the prettiest girl I've ever seen" My son boldly stated, even catching me off guard. Zoey bit
her lip and pushed a curl behind her ear, and my heart warmed as I realized what was really happening
here.
"I bet you've seen a lot of girls. That cant be true" She brushed him off.
His charming smile was back as he stepped closer to her. "Oh but it is. You are. And your hair is so
beautiful " He reached out to touch her hair and she let him.
"And your eyes are beautiful.. " His hand trailed from the curl down her cheek, and my heart rate picked
up when I saw how this could turn out.
"And your lips.. "
"Okay! " I exclaimed with a clap, breaking them out of their daze since I knew he would've probably
kissed her right there and then.
I wasn't against him doing so, but one, I wasn't even sure if they were actually mates, two, I'm not sure
how Victoria would've handled that and three, they're in a room filled with adults.
"Why don't you THREE go find something to do" I placed Levi between them. "And while you're at it,
find Asia and Jared too. "
They looked surprisingly bummed , and I placed a kiss on Niall's head, which he tried to duck with an
embarrassed look on his face.
He gave Zoey another longing look before leading them through a hallway.
We looked around at each other with knowing looks. After what we've just witnessed, there was a great
chance that they were mates.
But since none of them are 16 yet and haven't shifted or woken their wolves, they wouldn't know just
yet. They would just feel attracted to each other without knowing why. But I already have my theory.
I totally call it.
Ace and I led Luka and Victoria into the office, and we settled down comfortably before starting.
"So do you think they are mates? " I asked excitedly as soon as we were seated.
"Oh I know they are" Victoria chirped, sharing my excitement.
This was so nice. Even though I felt for Asia, I couldn't help but feel satisfied that my baby's mate
comes from a good family, and that which we are close to too. It won't be our relationship, but it will
give me some peace.
"I guess we just have to wait and see" Ace said as he picked up a file.
Victoria and I groaned simultaneously. We never liked meetings, but with packs who have alliances
together, we had to have them.
It's just the duty of a Luna.
***
It was about six in the afternoon, and everything was settling down. Our guests left like two hours ago,
and Asia was coming down from her birthday high.
I got the chance to see her wolf, and she was beautiful. The day went perfectly, and even Niall seemed
a little more pumped than usual.
Don't have to guess twice about the reason.
Ace and I decided to take a bath together, so I set the water running for us. I stepped out of my robe
and sunk into the warm rose petaled water. I leaned back and closed my eyes, as I heard the door
open.
Seconds after, he eased himself behind me, and I relaxed into his chest.
"This is nice" I mumbled, feeling my limbs loosen.
"I know. I could never get tired of having you close"
He squeezed some water from the sponge onto my shoulder, then placed a kiss there as the water
rolled away. I hummed in approval at how good that felt, as he did it numerous times up and down my
shoulders and neck.
"And I can never get tired of the way you make me feel" I moaned as he sucked on the spot that held
my claim, and I had the sudden urge to get up and take this to the bedroom.
"Are you happy we made it through everything? " He suddenly asked as he trailed more kisses on my
sensitive skin.
"Of course I am sweetie. Everything turned out so perfectly, and I'm with you so how couldn't it have
been?"
"I told you that you were my perfect mate" He whispered. I smiled and turned around to straddle him.
He held my bare bum as I ran my wet fingers through his hair.
"You've told me that almost everyday for fifteen years."
"And I mean it more each time"
I giggled as he squeezed my hips, and I bent down to kiss him with all the love I could muster.
"Well you're my perfect mate too" I mumbled against his lips before recapturing them in a soft kiss.
And it was so true. Over the years Ace has been nothing but loving, sweet, strong and kind. I
understood why mates were so sacred, and I'm grateful everyday for the one I got.
Cause even if nobody else but me believes it, he is my perfect mate.
And I'm his.

good or 2. Is there be another book?
Well for all my '1' people, thank you lol. And for my two people, there is actually!? This bonus chapter
titled- Bonus Chapter- Niall, is sort of a pilot for the third book in the Alpha's Mate Series, and it's

Please see my profile for the book.
And as you may have guessed, it is Niall's story.
If you are totally confused, and you've only read this book, don't be discouraged my friend. All the
books in this series are stand alone books. You don't have to read one or the other to understand.

The only advantage cross over readers will have are the little familiar omg moments.
So that is all I think. I hope everything was clear.
Y'all can check out my other book too if you're into werewolves. It's longer, more heartfelt and filled with
more twists. It's the first book in the series called: Alpha Luka And His Human Mate
So until next time my loves. Please stay safe.
