Bethany: His Little Wolf Chapter 92

Gamma Jack

We spend some time with Nora and she made it known that she loves Ashley already even if we were only there for 30 minutes not that I'm surprised mind, everyone that's met him in the short time that he's been here has praised him and I know that both the moms love him already too.

I check the time as we are leaving and realize that we still have some time before we

need to meet the others for a breakfast meeting so we decide to take a walk along the river that Ashley was admiring last night out of our bedroom window. It's one of my favorite places to come on the parklands and I think it's going to be one of his too.

Once we get about halfway along the river we take a seat on the narrow bank that faces the river and I can't help but wrap my arm around my mate and pull him in close to me, I always want to be touching him. "I love Nora, she seems like a sweetheart!" My mate has the biggest smile on his face and I find that I'm relieved at his words although I'm not sure why I doubted anything, I knew they would both love each other. "She is, she's always been that way, for as long as I've known her anyway. Nora is one of the most important people in my life, I've known her my whole life, and after my parents died she practically begged the Alpha to allow her to raise me. She wanted to do it for my mom and dad and honestly, I had no doubts about living with her. I'd stayed with her overnight many times before their death as she would mind me for them to attend balls or parties and I always had a blast there.

Of course, living with her was slightly different than just the standard sleepover she wanted me to grow up with morals, and respect, and to be the good in the world and there were rules to follow but in all honestly, they weren't half bad and I honestly respected her too much to not follow them." I don't know where that came from but I just find myself wanting Ashley to know everything, I don't want any secrets between us, I want us to know each other more than anyone else. "Why do I get the feeling that you weren't quite as innocent as it sounds?" He gives me a cheeky smirk and fuck if he doesn't know me well already.

"Haha yeah I'm no angel and have pushed my luck more than once over the years, especially through my teenage years but believe me I've paid the price for it, that woman may look cute and she is a sweetheart but she's got one hell of a slap on her!" We both burst out laughing but I swear to fuck I'm not even lying! "You know Nora... She was the first adult that I told that I was gay." Ash gives me a beautiful smile while taking my hand in his and giving it a gentle squeeze.

"I'm guessing she was fine with it?"

"She was." I nod as I think back to that day...

5 years ago

I'm always happy when school is done for the day, I'm not a fan! don't get me wrong I do my work and I keep up with my grades but in all honestly, I would rather be training than doing schoolwork. I'm the future Gamma of the pack hence training is more important to me. Of course, I won't tell Nora that or she'll rip my fucking head off! I smile to myself as I think of her as I sit my ass on the bus, goddess I love that woman, she is without a doubt everyone's dream grandmother and she makes the world's best chocolate chip cookies!

"Hey, Jack!" An elbow nudges my arm causing me to look up to see Jace sitting down next to me, usually, Cal, Liam, and I would take up the back row but Cal graduated 4 months ago so he no longer attends high school and Liam left school early today he claimed he was needed back at the pack and as the future Beta the school doesn't even question him.

However, I call bullshit he just wanted to duck out on the science test that every year got stuck with last period, fuck I wish I had followed his lead because that test was fucking hard and even though I usually get good grades in that subject I'm honestly dreading my results. I turn my attention to Jace and fuck is he hot! Yes, that's right ladies and gentlemen I am gay and proud! I suspected that I was gay from about 11/12 years old when my hormones started to kick in

and I realized that most of my friends were checking out the girls in school but I wasn't, nope not me I was checking out boys' asses, and honestly, for a while, I didn't even realize that I was even doing it but once I did I quickly understood why and I was ok with it. I never doubted it I just guessed that was the plan for me in life and it was fine with me.

However, I didn't realize that others had noticed me checking out the boys in school not until Calvin and Liam called me out on it one day about 8 months ago.

We were in the locker room changing after a gym session when Jace walked and started changing and you could have had a full-on rave in front of me at that very moment and I wouldn't have noticed a thing.

He was new to the school and he was the person who made me believe without a doubt that I was gay, he's fucking beautiful, and whenever he's around I can't take my eyes off him even now. I've always sworn to keep myself for my mate but fuck if he couldn't persuade me to give it all up for him. "Your drooling!" Those were the words that Cal said to me midway through my staring fest, I was so lost in Jace's abs that I almost had a fucking heart attack from fright causing both him and Liam to laugh their asses off at me.

"Huh, what?" I tried to foreign innocence but it was a stupid move on my part. One because these guys are far from dull and two because they are my best friends my brothers in every sense of the word and I knew that they wouldn't care who I wanted to be with. My eyes directly followed Jace as he left the locker room and two pairs of eyes zeroed in on me. "Holy crap you're gay!" Liam bluntly shouted out but there wasn't anything mean in his tone in fact he had a massive grin on his face.

"Why didn't we notice before?" Cal quickly joined in while I stayed quiet. I wasn't sure what to say, I hadn't spoken to anyone about it before so wasn't sure where to even start. I looked at them both and saw their smiles drop and for some reason worry quickly foamed in the pit of my stomach.

"Jack, are you ok with being gay?" Liam's tone was gentle and I appreciated it. Cal was just sitting waiting for my answer while sharing the same look as Liam. "Ye... Yes, I am I guess I'm just not sure what to say, I've not spoken to anyone about it before, so I'm a bit lost." I chuckled out the last part while running my hand through my hair and was instantly relieved when I saw the guys smile wide again. "Are you two ok with it?"

They both looked at me like they wanted to slap me for telling one of my stupid jokes.

"Of course brother!" Cal quickly answered. "Why wouldn't we be? You're our brother and we couldn't give a fuck if you want to be with a girl or boy or a fucking monkey for that matter, whatever makes you happy makes us happy!" Liam added and I think that was one of the first moments that I realized just how much we love each other because in all honestly, I would feel the same with either of them. "Jack, you ok?" I'm pulled from my memories by the sexy voice of Jace as he laughs at my daydream antics, if only he knew that I was daydreaming about him.

"Yeah sorry, Jace I was away with the fairies then!" I laugh. He looks at me for a few seconds without saying a word then he slowly leans into me and brings his lips to my ear. My heart instantly starts pounding with the wonder of what he's up to. "Or were you thinking about me?" He whispers in my ear. "I see how you look at me Jack and I like it and once you're ready to admit it to yourself I'm ready for you!" Oh, fuck does he have any idea of how hot he sounds right now!

He pulls back and shoots me a wink and I fucking melt! "Admit what to myself?"

"That your gay, that you want me?" Wait, what? "Wait are you gay?" His sexy ass smirk tells me he is and I feel fucking giddy. "I know I'm gay and I'm ok with it just because I don't shout it from the rooftops doesn't mean I'm hiding anything!" My answer seems to please him as the bus stops for us to get off but not before he takes my phone and adds his number. "Text me." He says before he gives me a wave and heads to the other side of the parklands.

Jace was fit and made me want to do things that I never dreamed of before not at that age anyway but he turned out to be a serial slag and I didn't want to be another number on his list and fuck am I grateful that I found out before anything happened with him.

But one good thing came out of it, I finally found the courage to come out to Nora that same day, again I was pretty confident that she would be ok with it but there was always a small worry niggling at the back of my head. A low growl brings me back to the present and I realize that this whole time I wasn't just thinking about those memories I was telling Ashley and his wolf Alfie hasn't taken too kindly to it. I place a gentle kiss on his lips in the hope that it helps calm him down and thankfully it seems to work I feel his body relax a little and he graces me with a soft smile.

"I'm sorry baby I didn't realize I was saying any of that out loud!" I laugh to try and cover my awkward embarrassment but I'm pretty sure that my cheeks are failing me right now. "It's ok sweetheart. Alfie got a little worked up but honestly, I want to know everything about you and your past and I know that you didn't mean to tell me but I'm glad you did!"

"Yeah me too!" I'm surprised by my answer but it's the truth.
