Moonlight, Mistletoe, and the truth

Jayton's {P.O.V}

It's Christmas Eve and the house is in utter chaos. You can feel the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. There is excitement in the air as well as the smell of dinner cooking as well as freshly baked pies and cookies.

The house is decorated and the tree is lit up. And little snow flakes are starting to descend from the sky. It's perfect. Well almost perfect, the only thing that's missing is mom. If she was here then everything would be complete.

When asked what I wanted for Christmas I couldn't really say. It's not that I didn't want anything for Christmas it's just that what I wanted wasn't what someone could just give me.

The two things I wanted was my mother home safe and sound. And for my father to know about me. But I know her reasoning for not telling him about me. She's worried that he might lash out and reject me. She also wanted to ensure that it was safe before telling him that my future was secure.

But I feel as if my father likes me. I have been following him everywhere the last few months. I have been doing everything that he does. I have also been learning about pack business and the duties of an alpha. I hope one day to become an alpha myself and make my father proud of me.

"Jayton would you like to come with me into the forest to help collect Holly and mistletoe to decorate with?" My dad asked.

"Yes of course." I say rushing to put on my coat and boots. After I dressed we walked into the woods and started collecting the decorations. We also picked up some chestnuts for the younger ones to paint gold and hang on the tree.

After we got back and I changed out of my wet clothes, I helped my younger siblings and well as my cousins and nieces and nephew paint their chestnuts. I had to laugh as gold paint and glitter was everywhere. Daniel tried to keep his cool as glitter was dumped on head. But he laughed it off because who could be mad during the holiday season especially when the atmosphere was merry.

I started to clean up the mess when they all went to start decorating the tree and the rest of the house. I was just finishing sweeping when I felt a little tug on my pants leg. I looked down to see my nephew Ross holding the Christmas Angel in his hands.

"Uncle J can you help me put the Angel on top of the tree?" He asked giving me puppy dog eyes. I laugh and ruffle his hair.

"Of course champ." I say and walk with him into the living room where the tree is. I let him up on my shoulders and give him a boost. He giggled as he put the star on the tree.

"Looky I did it." He claps proudly when I place him back on the floor.

"Yes you did kid." I laughed.

"Thank you Uncle J." He says hugging me.

"No problem Ross." I say hugging back when he lets go he runs off to join the others.

"You know you'll make a terrific father some day." Uncle Alessandro chuckles.

"Yes I know but I don't even want to think of it, I still have a lot of time."

"Not as much as you think lad. Your bride to be will be born any day now." He says and slaps me on the back.

"Yes but she has to become of age first."

"True but that day will come before you know it." He says and I just nod. I look around admiring the decorations. "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas." He smiles.

"Yes indeed. It looks like Christmas but it really doesn't feel like it."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean moms always home for Christmas and well she's not here. It just dosent feel right without her."
