Till the End by Jennifer Trevino (good books to read in english .TXT) 📕

                “I know you still think about Heath, even though you don’t tell me,” Jenny said with a sigh as she sat down on a chair near her friend.  “I know you loved him, and that he actually meant something to you, but in the end it wouldn’t have made a difference.”

                Lisa turned to her friend and asked curiously, “And why is that?”

                “Because the bond of soul mates is too strong, how can you reject the one you are meant to be with? The one that was created just for you, the one that fills in that empty space in your heart? It seems impossible for a mate to reject or not accept who their mate is,” Jenny explained with a warm smile.

                She is right, Lisa thought. Lisa always thought about Heath and wondered what would have happened if things were different, but in the end she knew she would have chosen Dalton because he is her soul mate and there is no much greater bond than that. A love can never last, it would have eventually have faded.

                “I’m not saying you should forget Heath, but just be your old self for Dalton’s sake. The poor guy has been trying to make you smile and make you feel better ever since the battle ended,” she said as she played with a loose strand of hair.

                “I guess he has, and today he wants to take a stroll at night in the garden to cheer me up,” Lisa said her lips twitched from the end into a slight smile. She admitted Dalton’s ‘Make Lisa Happy Plans’ were kind of working, she could never stay sad when Dalton was around. Just his presence alone made her feel complete and comfortable.

                “Aww, me feels a little romance stirring up,” Jenny teases with a wink, a devious smirk planted on her face. “Maybe there’s going to be more than a stroll under the moonlight,” she adds.

                Lisa’s cheeks flame up and she scolds Jenny for thinking of such a thing. She knew Dalton wouldn’t do that, he told her he would wait until she was ready in their honeymoon. Which is sweet of him, since she knew his wolf wanted to already mate with her.

                Dalton walked in a steady pace beside Lisa, the moonlight giving them enough light to see in the dark. The garden was beautiful and amazing at night there was this emotion that seemed to cross her when she walked through here.

                She didn’t know what it was but the refreshing breeze, the light cast down on the flowers and trees seemed to make this almost like a dream. The smell of wild flowers filled her nostrils sending a wave of delight up her spine. The atmosphere was clean and comfortable, walking beside Dalton with their hands entwined together made her feel somewhat whole to the core.

                Dalton stopped beside a bush of roses, and looked at the roses with delight. Lisa smiled at the expression he wore. “You really love roses don’t you?” She asked with a soft chuckle.

                “Yeah I do they are my favorite flowers,” he answered as he caressed his thumb over the soft red petal. The soft texture rubbing with his skin, almost like silk.

                “Why do you like them?” She took a step forward and touched one of the white roses that were mixed with the red roses in the tall bush.

                “Because they remind me of you, that night I saw you dancing around it reminded me of a blooming red rose,” he explained as he took out the rose and then slowly lifted it to her head, placing the rose just behind her ear.

                “Really?”

                His luscious lips tugged into a crooked smile that showed his perfect teeth, his head nodding in a yes. “Of course.”

                “You sure have a way with words Dalton,” Lisa remarked as she touched the rose with her fingers. It was sweet how Dalton behaved with her, it just felt so right.

                “I know,” he answered cheekily giving her a wink before walking toward the woods. She watched amused at how he began to take of his shoes and clothing. Her cheeks burning automatically when he was about to take off his boxers.

                “What are you doing Dalton?” She questioned as she approached him.

                “I’m going for a run. Would you care to join me, my love?” He asked stretching his arm out for her to take his hand. Without hesitation she put her hand in his, and he smiled at her tenderly.

                “I would love to,” she said and after discarding all her clothes they transformed into their wolfs and ran inside the dark words.

                At night the forest felt dangerous and creepy, the tall evergreen blocked out the moon’s light, and the few rays that made it through would cast eerie shadows over it. The only sounds came from the night crawlers, wind rustling through the branches and leaves. But for Lisa it felt right and she didn’t feel in danger when Dalton was right beside her.

                His dark wolf was just as amazing as his human form; it was tall and built its amber eyes shined in the darkness with a glow. She was proud that he is her mate, forever and always till the end. As if sensing her eyes on him, Dalton turned his head to meet her eyes.

                She gave him a wolf grin, and then picked up her speed. She could sense his eyes on her back as she ran like the wind through the forest passing and dodging trees here and there. Dalton took this as a challenge, and ran after her.

                After minutes of chasing they found themselves entering a small clearing where the grass reached their ankles. Vibrant colorful flowers of different shapes adorned the grass, the soft glow of the moon giving it a beautiful majestic glow.

                Dalton took the opportunity of her being distracted by her surrounding to tackle her to the ground, his body and hers fell and rolled on the grass. They stopped rolling and Dalton was hovering her wolf, his eyes blazing into hers with such intensity she was but putty in his hands.

                There was no need for words as he looked at her with love and longing, he bent his head and nuzzled his nose with hers, his tongue lashed out and he licked the side of her face sweetly. The contact making her purr in affection as she felt his teeth grazed over the crook of her neck, where he had marked her.

                ‘Lisa you make me the happiest man alive,’ his deep velvety voice whispered through her mind like a wave. She almost forgot that mates can communicate with their minds.

                ‘And you make me the happiest women, I love you Dalton,’ she said back licking the side of his face. Her wolf was purring in delight and happiness.

                The chapel look elegant and beautiful in the wedding decorations, flowers of roses and sunflowers were everywhere with white streamers hanging from the walls. The marble floor sparkling clean, the wooden furnishings filled of many friends, family members, and pack members.

                Lisa heaved in a small amount of air into her lungs, and prepared herself for the moment she would walk through the doors to her future. Her father by her side in his expensive tuxedo, he gave a reassuring squeeze on the arm he held in his.

                “It’s going to be alright Lisa, don’t be nervous. This is your day,” he said as he looked down to her giving her a warm fatherly smile.

                She nodded, and on cue the sweet sound of a piano playing a well to known melody rang in her sensitive ears. Inhaling one more gush of air, she waited as the doors opened revealing the red velvet aisle that led to the altar where Dalton stood with grace in his black tuxedo that had a red rose on his chest pocket, his coal black hair tamed to the back.

                Lisa almost faltered at the scene of him standing on the altar looking dashingly handsome. His gaze glazed over her taking in her white wedding dress. The trail of her dress sweeping the floor behind her as she walked toward her mate.

                Dalton gazed with amazement as his mate entered the room; she looked like an angel in the white dress she wore. The dress hugged her from the waist, cupping her breast, and cascading down in beautiful waves. Her hair was pulled up into a popular bun, and the veil covered her flawless skin.

                Lisa’s father then handed her arm to Dalton who happily tucked in her hand in his, and then turned to the vicar who had a humongous book in his scrawny little hands. Lisa smiled at the warm sparks igniting in her skin from Dalton’s warm arm. She couldn’t be happier, then to be his wife.

                “Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today for these couple,” the vicar began. “

                Lisa zoned out the rest of his speech and stole a glance at Dalton who was looking at the vicar with seriousness. She couldn’t help but smile when she noticed her bride’s maid giving her a thumps up in congratulations for scoring Dalton. She nodded her head at Jenny, and noticed Dalton’s best man give a wink at the Jenny.

                She blushed and Lisa almost giggled at how red Jenny turned, Sebastian certainly was a flirt. Sebastian is a handsome guy, with his blonde wavy locks and dark blue eyes, but he is no Dalton.

                “Do you Dalton Cane take Lisa Forrest as your wife, and promise to cherish her for all eternity?” The vicar asked Dalton.

                “I do,” he answered locking his gaze with hers.

                “And do you Lisa Forrest take Dalton Cane to be your husband, and to promise to cherish him for all eternity?” He turned to her.

                “Yes, I do,” she answered with joy.

                “Then I pronounce you husband and wife, Alpha and Luna of the united pack Bloodhound and Moonlight,” he finally said, “You may now kiss the bride.”

                Dalton’s lips tugged into a warm smile as he held her closely and then set his lips on hers. The kiss was sweet and felt enchanting on her own. The same sparks and fireworks ignited in her body, and she felt overjoyed at the thought that she is his, and he is hers.

~Ten Years Later~

                “Dalton,” Lisa said as she nuzzled closer to his body. She felt perfectly comfortable sitting in his lap her back pressed against his chest, his big masculine arms embracing her from the back.

                “Hmmn,” he mumbled as he buried his face into her scented hair, liking the way it reminded him of their earlier years.

                “Did you forget we have company?” She teased remarking about the family Simons who were seated on a wooden bench close to the backyard.  Dalton sighed tiredly and groaned into her hair.

                ”When are we going to
