his hand.
"Well, now that you are back I can introduce Callie to pack members whilst Jace attends the meeting with Jude." Mum gestures to Callie to follow her, removing her...knowing, as do I, things needed to be said between Jaxon and I. "He's unavailable now." Dad responds, keeping a watchful eye on his first born.
"Okay well, I'm sure you men can sort something out. Try not to break the furniture." Mum's tongue clicks as she takes Callie by the arm and heads towards the front door.
"I'll catch you later." I give Callie a reassuring nod as she turns to me, slightly concerned.
I move towards the alpha office, where Dad, Knox, Jaxon and I all take seats, Beta Riley also entering and closing the door behind him.
"I have the paperwork you asked for Alpha."
"Thanks Riley. Also I've informed Alora and Ezra of Jace's return. They are going to head over tomorrow, can you send warriors to intercept them and further to add extra protection detail in their absence." Warriors to intercept...since when did pack members need an escort.
"Yes Alpha, Alpha Jude has just sent over this report..." He hands a piece of paper to Dad, who skim reads it before sighing out.
"Shit."
"What?" Jaxon's eyes leave mine for the first time since he entered the house, turning to Dad.
"Deaths reported in the mountain range." They share some kind of look, again detail I wasn't privy to.
"Then we are getting close, keep pushing Dad."
"I can't send men knowingly to their deaths Jaxon."
"Then send me." Jaxon offers out.
"Both of us, we both will go." Knox adds, also offering himself up for some kind of secret mission.
"What and face the wrath of not only your mother Jaxon, but also your mate Kit." Dad scoffs out as he signs a document, handing it back to Riley.
"I'm with Jaxon, I'm bored of this lying-in wait for them. Looking over our shoulders every time we are off pack grounds."
That ugly sensation of guilt washes over me, my life over the past year has been quite the comparison.
"We are in this for the long game remember. One wrong step and all
of our hard work will be Wilbha
of this increased security will have been in vain."
There's a pause before Jaxon sighs out, his hands brushing through his hair.
"What I'm about to say isn't easy. I need to go off pack grounds for while."
"What? How long for?"
""I'm not sure."
"No." Dad is quick to deny Jaxon's request.noveldrama
"No?"
"You are the future alpha Jaxon, your presence here is vital for security and also reassuring pack members. You cannot leave." "What I need to do will only take a day or two."
"Jaxon!" Dad growls out, making it clear on his answer.
The growing need within me to say something, to start making rights overwhelms me. I need to start playing my part in all of this. The hotel now was a memory, a money maker for a gap year.
I needed to commit to my pack and family once more.
"Jaxon, I know what I did was wrong. I know I left you to handle this threat without me."
"You don't even realise what you have done." Jaxon's voice is low...bitter.
"Then tell me, shout at me. Punch me...let your wolf out on me. Just tell me what I have done. You'll feel better afterwards." I yell at him.
I wasn't innocent growing up. I've
always known Jaxon's wolf was powerful, yet I still egged him on, still
ind him.....tried to get a rise out
of him.
But this bitterness, this silent anger within him was putting me more on edge than actually fighting his beast of a wolf.
It works, he lunges for me...my back being forced into the wall as his arm presses against my throat...locking me in place. "You really want to know?" His eyes turn a demonic black.
"Yes." My own wolf presses forward, my own eyes bleeding out to that of my wolf's.
