Maria's (M.J.'s mom) POV

                'Mate' my wolf howled in delight. My love, my first love. I haven’t seen her in 16 years. That is since she came home so Maya would officially become a part of the pack. And here she is now, mother of the only she-wolf whom can possibly be my son’s mate. My first mate, once again she is home and this time she is staying for good, we will finally be a family.

                “Maria!!” she yelled while running towards my opened arms, like she did a hundred years ago, when we were just two young she-wolves in love. A tear rolled down my face just like it did when I saw her 16 years ago.
She hugged me and held me tight, like she would never let go of me. “My love, it has been so long…” I chocked out before taking a shaky breath, trying to calm down.

                “Too long.”, she replied kissing my neck. The sensation of her kiss still affected me, no matter the rejection or all those years we spent apart, the feeling of belonging was still present.

                My love, was in my embrace once again. I love Jeremy, I always will, but no matter what, I will never get over losing my Aqua.

Aqualisa’s (Maya’s mom) POV

                The second I saw her I started running across the living room towards the kitchen. It has been 16 years. I remember clearly those days when I last saw her, how could I forget…

                We were on the pack grounds for three months. Tommy and I decided that she would become a member of my pack, because of the situation in hand, and also because her brother was a part of their father’s pack. We had to make a decision before her first birthday so she could be officially introduced to her pack before it becomes more of a risk.

                 Tommy, Maya and I were settled in the pack house. I saw Maria every day. We were catching up and making up for the lost time. We spent 30 years apart so those 3 months weren’t close to enough for us to make up for the lost time. All the time in the world wouldn’t be enough for us to make up for all that was lost.

                But the truth is, it was my fault we were so distant but losing Katlyn broke me. Back then I was still brokenhearted because I was forced to me away from my soulmate and losing my first baby girl before she was even born tore my soul apart, both Tommy and I were depressed so we locked ourselves away from the world, in the middle of no man’s land.

                Noel took over the beta duties from Tommy. If we didn’t leave everyone, maybe we would have healed sooner, faster, but having Maya was a cure, that no other could ever replace, it brought us back to life. The light in the darkest of times for our family, it makes me sad that she knows nothing of her our past, not even that she has a brother, but it’s for the best, at least for now. What scares me the most is that she will have to learn of our past, her mate is someone whom exists because of that past, just like her.

                Those 3 months were just as amazing as having a child around the house again. Then we met M.J., back then he still went by Michael Joshua, he took Tommy and me in like we were his second parents and he took care of Maya as if he knew that they were meant to be. Goddess… I miss that sheepish smile he had when he kissed her nose to make her chuckle.

                I wonder if he remembers all of that… I am so grateful that the family is once again whole, this time I’m not letting this feeling slip away, I am not letting go.

                I kissed Maria’s neck and she smiled into my hair, I missed her smile so much. I held her tall frame tighter than I ever did before and she laughed at me.

                I pinched her back and she screamed and jumped away like a cricket chased by a frog. I dropped to the floor rolling with laughter and she crossed her arms glaring at me, just like when I ate her chocolate when we were 30, I’m dead, I had a good run, my time here is running short I thought to myself. Before she had a chance to rip my throat out Jeremy came in, with a smirk on his face, he came up to her, putting his big hands on her shoulders and kissing her left cheek without hesitation she hissed at him which made me laugh harder until I hit a wall, literally.

                 I was rolling all over the floor so I hit my head in the wall. Jeremy jumped to my rescue laughing his ass off, that was when our mate stomped out of the kitchen like a child, yelling about us being idiots. Which of course made us laugh even more.
                 “I haven’t had a laugh like that since I last saw you my dear Aqua”, he spoke up still laughing slightly. “Neither did I Jay, neither did I”.
