Topping the Enemy (Werewolf Story)

Chapter 68: Ain't No Mountain High Enough

Harry

This is it. My last day in Regency Falls. For a little while, at least.

Last (Friday) night, we went to the bar to celebrate Ares leaving Regency Falls to accompany his mate in Houston. It was his send off since today they are going to my home town to meet with Spencer's parents and from there we're going back to college.

I travel with Spencer since I don't need a car in Houston and my dad is not gonna pay for a parking spot just so I can use it on weekends. Actually, when I come to think about it, I had no reason for a car before because I could travel with Spencer when he journeyed to meet Kevin, but now that his mate is gonna be in Houston as well, he has no reason to travel back.

I think I'm gonna need a rental because I need to see my mate and no distance is gonna keep us from seeing each other. Though he's going to travel to Houston as well.

Anyway, we met with Ares' friends from the (warrior) force and former unmated folk - you know, the ones who got mated at the 'meet and greet', remember that? - It was a great night of fun, beer and conversation.

I think we needed that night to just be ourselves and consort among our type before we go back to college and be once again surrounded by humans. Ares had a great night in his close friends' company and so did we.

Spencer is still reeling from that inheritance shocker. He had to go back to our town to meet the estate lawyer and sign the papers, effectively receiving his inheritance. I just can't believe he has a house now. A proper house that belonged to the Thompsons.

I guess it's a good thing that our two towns are neighbors because the whole thing lasted less than three hours and he was back by lunch time. Him and Ares, of course. They're inseparable now.

I can't deny I'm a little jealous of him now that his mate is gonna move to Houston. I wouldn't mind having a mate closer to me too, not that I'd want Landon to abandon his pack. Goddess no!

Though I never saw myself being mated to an Alpha, it's not something one leaves behind. Plus, Ares is still figuring things out while Landon has a solid career path for him. He is the Alpha of his pack.

We woke up today hungover from yesterday and reminiscing on our time together here in this house. There were so many ups and downs from the time I had rejected him - what was I thinking again? - to when we debated over who topped and who bottomed.

This seems all so silly and trivial now. Once we got down to starting the intimacy between us, all these hang ups seem futile. In fact, it doesn't really matter who tops or who bottoms, what really is important is that we feel safe and loved by our partner.

I am completely in love with Landon Barnett.

Who would've thought?

I almost wanted to skip breakfast for once, but my mate wouldn't let me. He says that the Alpha couple needs to lead by example and be the first ones to arrive in the dining room.

I kissed him for a minute before we got up to perform our morning rituals. When we entered the dining hall, Felicia had a special breakfast prepared for us.

"Good morning, Harry. I had all your favorite food prepared to show you how much we're gonna miss you around here and we hope to see you again soon." - She welcomed me with open arms and I melted at the sweet woman.

"Thank you so much, ma'am. I really appreciate all your efforts in making me feel welcome. It's not lost on me that you had to put up with a lot since I got mated to your son and you never held anything against me. In fact, you have been nothing but welcoming and nurturing. It really means the world to me." - I said, genuinely in awe of the woman.
