Filed to story: The Mate Back Home Novel Read Online Free

It was hard to listen to some of the stories that were told, as many wanted someone in with them, and many wanted me in with them, and as Luna, I had an obligation to the new pack members.

I felt every pain and heartache, and I was afraid to sleep by the end.

Lex and I have been sleeping in the same room, but due to all the drama that came with Alpha Trevor’s pack, we haven’t seen much of each other. We keep missing each other, I am always in bed before him, and I leave before he wakes. Many times I have stood and watched him sleep on the couch.

I wanted him in bed with me, but when we haven’t seen each other to speak to, it is hard to tell them what you want when they are not around.

I shook my head and looked ahead.

I was watching the pack members train. I was going to see who needed more help, and many from Alpha Trevor’s pack needed help, mainly the women.

We set up cots in the grand hall for everyone to sleep in when we arrived, and the following day, many of them moved into rooms within the pack house.

The pack house became loud in the mornings or even during the day.

I wish we slept in my father’s house; at least we would have some time to see each other. We were still trying to navigate through everything, and all I wanted was to be with him one night.

Bex moved in my head and got closer.

She let out a yawn.

“When are we seeing, mate?” she murmured. “I want to see him.”

I let out a slight breath I didn’t know I was holding as I watched Lilly try her hardest in training.

I remember leaving Lex for a few moments to see where Lilly and her sister were going to live, and I was happy to witness the interaction with Huw and his mate. Lilly and her sister are living with Huw and his mate, Greta. Huw explained that while Greta and the girls got to know one another, he took me outside and told me that they had lost their only child in a rogue attack a few years ago and were talking about adopting a few months before the attack.

I felt for them, but Greta was happy to accept the girls into the family.

“Well,” Bex yells, pulling me back from my thoughts.

I sighed.

“I don’t know,” I murmured. “We could go to the office after training to see if he is there.”

Bex nodded, but she stayed silent for a few moments. “Rox,” she whispered. “I want to mate and mark mate.”

As she mentioned this on the car ride back, I knew this was coming.

I was all for it, but Lex went into the office and started to work.

I didn’t know what to do with myself.

Whenever I tried to see him, I was told he was on the phone or with another alpha. It has been challenging to see him or even talk to him.

“I don’t know…” I murmured to Bex. “I want to, but we must discuss many other things.”

“Like what?” she asked. “We both want mate to f**k us; what else is there to talk about?”

I looked back at her; her eyes were full of determination about this. I knew I couldn’t bring up the Luna ceremony, which has been on my mind a few times. I haven’t had anyone to talk to about it.

Sofia has been busy dealing with other pack business, and Jason, well, I think he has been avoiding me since I came back. He knows I want to clear the air with him, but he has been hiding from me.

I sighed.

“Never mind,” I said, looking back at Bex. “I will tell you later.”

Bex stared back at me, and I knew she wanted to discuss this more, but someone called my name, bringing me back to look at who was in front of me.

Lilly.

I smiled.

“Luna,” she called. “Did you see what I learned?”

I nodded, even though I didn’t.

“It was great,” I said.

Lilly looked at me and c****d her head to the side but didn’t say anything. I noticed Huw running up to us and smiling. “Luna,” he said as he came to a stop. “I’m surprised that you haven’t trained today.”

I smiled.

“I had my reasons,” I said. “I was seeing who needed more training, and I was going to offer to train them in the afternoons, a few on their own at first, so they get used to the moves.”

Huw nodded and smiled.

“That’s a good idea,” he said. “We may have a few contenders for the ultimate fighter community by next year.”

I smiled.

“Huw showed me a video of you fighting,” Lilly said, making me look at her. My eyes widened. “You were outstanding. I want to be just like you.”

I felt flattered.

“You must keep training every day and learn some new moves,” I said, smiling at Lilly.

I was about to say something to them when Jason called me. “Luna Roxie,” he shouted, which made me look up at him, and my eyes raised. I never thought I would hear him call me that ever. “I was wondering if you wanted to go for a walk.”

I nodded.

I would love that, even though I wanted to see Lex.

Bex moved closer but let out a sigh.

I ignored her.

“Yeah, sure,” I said and said my goodbyes to Lilly and Huw and headed over to my brother.

Jason stopped and smiled as I approached. “Let’s go for a walk,” he said.

We both headed in different directions and headed into the forest. I had an idea where he wanted to walk to as we used to go somewhere close by when we were kids with our parents.

We walked in silence for a few moments until Jason decided to talk. “I’m sorry I avoided you when you came back from the pack,” he said, which made me look up at him. I found his eyes looking at me, but he turned his head and looked ahead. “Sofia and I have had a few words, and we are trying to sort things out. I have tried to sort it out with her, but she doesn’t want to talk to me.”

I stared at him but stayed quiet for a while.

I looked ahead and sighed.

“I guess it’s to do with the she-wolves within the pack,” I said.

Jason didn’t say anything, but I knew it was the truth by the silence.

She-wolves were the worst when it came to gossip, and I won’t be surprised that they were talking about Sofia behind her back when she wasn’t listening.

We walked further but came to a log that had fallen.

Jason walked over to it and sat down while I stopped and looked at him.

“Sofia will come back to you,” I said. “She needs time.”

Jason looked at me and nodded.

His eyes searched my face, but he sighed.

“What about you?” he asked. “Have you forgiven Lex for what he did?”

I stared at him, confused.

I knew I had forgiven him, but forgetting is another thing.

The mate bond affected me more, especially when he was around. I can’t even think straight.

I looked at Jason, walked to the log, and sat beside him.

“I have forgiven him,” I said, looking ahead, but I turned to look at him. “Forgetting is another story.”

Jason looked at me and nodded.

“Jas, if I know what every she-wolf is like within this pack, they like to brag, especially the ones who haven’t found their mates,” I said. “I bet some mentioned to Sofia who you were with and slept with.”

Jason looked away, but I placed my hand on his knee. “Look at me,” I said.

Jason stared ahead for a few moments but turned to look at me, and I could see fear in his eyes. He was on the verge of breaking, but he needed to know this. “Sofia will come back to you,” I said. “But you have to give her time. Jas, that doesn’t mean you can’t try to win her over. Send some of her favorite flowers or chocolates to her. Tell her how much you love her, and make a suggestion that will benefit you and her.”

Jason stared at me, but a knowing look came across his face. “We already suggested something,” he murmured and released a low sigh. “We agreed not to have s*x till she can trust me.”

I looked at him, and my eyes widened. “You haven’t cheated…” I asked, but he shook his head. “I haven’t had any other woman since I found Sofia,” he said. “Sofia had to get more information out of Amber before we came to find you. When we learned that she was one of Alpha Trevor’s mistresses, Lex thought it would be easier for Sofia to get more out of her.”

“And did she?” I asked.

Jason looked at me, but his face hardened. “She did,” he said. “But Amber mentioned that I slept with her and rolled out some other members I had been with. Sofia lost it and tortured her. I have to admit it scared the crap out of me how she acted.”

I stared at him, but I gave him a knowing look.
