Filed to story: Sorry Alpha I Am Wolfless Novel
Was she putting a spell on the parents? Was she helping them to not question what happened today too much? I mean, it’s not like the police and FBI could tell them all that their kids had been kidnapped by a crazy warlock bent on ruling the world. Or that the primary rescuers were not even human. I guess if Juniper was capable of doing that it was for the best. But holy shit, I was watching real magic happen right in front of me.
Once Juniper was done weaving her spell for the humans the door to the dining hall was opened. Inside were the eight kids that had gone missing from my city. I was happy to see all these families reunited, but none of them made me happier than watching Ella and her mom when they saw Sammy.
“Sammy!” The two of them shouted at the same time.
“MOMMY! ELLA!” Sammy yelled out. He was ten years old and probably growing out of the stage where he would say mommy, but he was so happy to see his family that he looked like an excited little child.
I watched as Ella ran as fast as she could and scooped her brother up into her arms. She planted a kiss right on his cheek and squeezed him tight. Soon Gina, Ella’s mother, made it to where her children were. Gina grabbed Sammy from Ella’s arms and held him close to her chest. I could see tears of joy and relief spilling down both of their faces.
This was one of the most heartwarming and beautiful scenes I had ever seen. Not just with Ella, Gina, and Sammy but with all the other families that were happily crying and hugging their children. These children had been missed, they had been loved, they had been cared for and worried about. And every single parent here was mourning the loss they had suffered.
I didn’t care that I wasn’t part of the team that found the kids. I didn’t care if I got the glory or not. What I care about was this moment right here where all the heartache was ending and the healing could begin.

After my brother came home the Alpha and Riviana left for France. The Beta, Noah, and some other members of their higher ups were responsible for managing things in their absence. I didn’t care though. I had my brother home. My mom was back to normal. And not to mention, I had found my mate. Life was literally perfect for me right now.
Devon had met my mom the day Sammy came home. She and Sammy had both accepted Devon with open arms and were happy for me for finding my mate even during this dark time. I was glad that no one had thought I was a horrible person for finding something good while my brother was away.
Things went back to normal, for the most part. Mom was back at work with her usual flare and smile. Work was fun again. Sammy was back in school and got right back to being his old self with no lingering effect from the kidnapping. And I was living with Devon.
That was the only thing that had changed. I had moved out of my small apartment and moved into Devon’s neat and spacious three bedroom ranch style home. He said he had bought it as a preparation for the future but he didn’t really know why. Now, he was happy that he hadn’t gotten something just for a bachelor. This home was going to be where we lived when we got married, where we started our family, it was going to be the start of our lives together.
Devon proposed to me two weeks after Sammy came home. It was a little bit of a shock but I couldn’t have been happier. Just thinking about it made me smile.
It was the beginning of April and I was having a walk around the mountains with Devon. We were holding hands and just enjoying each other’s company. I didn’t think anything else would likely happen.
Suddenly, we came upon a cabin that was in the woods. It was one that I had seen many times before but never paid much attention to. Apparently, Devon had gone and purchased the cabin himself.
When Devon walked up right to the door and took out the key I had exclaimed.
“What are you doing?”
“This is our cabin now.” He grinned at me. “I know how much you like walking through the woods, and I have always been curious about this place myself.”
“Really?” I asked him with a smile spreading across my face.
“Really.” He held his hand out for me. “I’m sure you can guess who used to own it.” I didn’t miss the way he rolled his eyes when he said that. That clearly told me that Joaquin had been the previous owner. “I guess that Alpha of yours really is a good guy.” He smiled then. I’m glad that he was able to approve of Joaquin now.
Once we were inside the cabin I saw that it was completely clean and furnished with all the essentials. There was the main room which was a combination living room and kitchen. Aside from the front door there was only one door leading off that space.
That other door led to a room with a large bed, one dresser, two night stands with lamps. There were two other doors in this room, one for a closet and one for the bathroom. That bathroom was way more than I was expecting. It had a very modern and luxurious design with a large tub and a separate shower. It was wonderful.
After Devon showed me the entire cabin he took me back to the living room and sat me on the couch.
“Sit here, and I will make us some dinner.” He was smiling at? me.
“If I had known we were coming here for the night I would have prepared.” I grinned at him.
“Don’t worry, I prepared for you.” He said as he indicated the bag sitting in the corner of the room. “Now, just wait for me to get everything ready.”
Devon really was a sweet man. He was always doing things for me and liked to dote on me. There were so many times he told me to just wait for him to make the meal or to let him get things ready.
He truly did act like a wolf, he just didn’t know that. If only there was a way to turn him into one.
About a half an hour later Devon was calling me into the kitchen to eat dinner. He set down large plates that were covered with food. He must have come here earlier in the day to prepare all of this, there was no way he could have done it all in just half an hour.
He had made garlic mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus, steaks, and corn on the cob. There were dinner rolls with sweet cinnamon and honey flavored butter. There was a bottle of wine with two glasses waiting for us on the table.
Devon pulled my chair back for me and made sure I was situated before he went to sit down. We ate our meal while talking about random topics. It was more of us getting to know each other. It was the perfect meal, mostly because I was with the perfect person.
Following the meal we sat on the couch and snuggled with each other in front of the fireplace while we drank our wine. Devon had then sat me between his thighs while he massaged my shoulders. It felt amazing and put me completely at ease.
“Ella.” He said my name so softly at first that I almost didn’t notice it. “Ella.” He said it again, with just a little more volume.
“Yeah?” I turned my head a little so I could just barely see his face.
“I love you.” I didn’t remember him ever saying that to me before.
“I love you too.” I was so excited now that I turned completely around and sat on his lap, straddling him and looking into his eyes.
