Scarlet POV Jaxson shut the crawl hole door, making darkness blanket us. Not wanting to yell out, I decided to try the mind-link with him. Now that we are mated, it will come in handy. “In my dresser is a set of knives!” I feel like it worked as I felt his presence with me. “Thank, love. Be careful and run!” Jaxson responded and cut the link. I wanted to stay and help him but I needed to focus on Courtney and get her to safety. They are after me anyway and honestly, Courtney would be a huge bargaining chip that we cannot let them get. We both crawled on our hands and knees to the edge of the back part of the house. The ground was frozen, making our clothes wet from the ice. I heard a thud and figured Jaxson took down a guy. As we came to the end of the house and I pulled Courtney down for a second. Pulling out the phone, I sent Mason a text, “HELP! Being attacked at Scarlet’s house. Courtney is alive and with us. Bring Backup now!” I hit send right as I saw a couple shadows run
Jaxson POV Fucking damnit! This shit hurts like a mother fucker! Just waking up in the stupid ass hosptial bed, hooked up to these fucking machines, just pisses me off. I need to get out of here and see my pack. I don’t have time for this. “Scarlet!” I mind-linked her. She didn’t answer right away and I was about to link her again before the door to my room opened up and she came in. She will always take my breath away. Even with her covered in blood she is perfect. “What is happening?” “Calm down! You burned off the sedation quicker than they expected but they got the bullet out and you are stitched up. Should be walking without assistance in a day. Your healing is top notch. I need that!” She joked with me. I wasn’t feeling in a joking mood. “Did we lose anyone? How many did we capture? Where the fuck is Mason?” I asked the last question and she paled a little. “What? What is it? Did Mason get hurt?” I was instantly worried. “Ummm, he is fine…” She started but trailed off. “
Scarlet POV The door opened and Mason was helping Courtney into the office. I was so happy to see her up and around, more importantly alive. She looked far too thin and needed some good home cooked meals. “Have you forgotten how to knock?” Jaxson said, clearly annoyed. Courtney looked down right scared of him and Mason acted like he was stupid. “Didn’t have a free hand. Listen you two, I have a request.” Mason said. Courtney looked nervous and Mason was absolutely beaming. Groaning, “Come one Mason! Not right now!” Jaxson said, rolling his eyes. He put his hand on his desk and rested his chin on his fingers with one finger on his cheek. “Not right now? What do you want, Mason?” I was so confused. What is not right now?” “Well, we missed Christmas with everything that has been going on and since I found some Christmas spirit, we should have our own little family Christmas here!” I blinked a few times at him, “We are wolves.” I stated the obvious like we don’t celebrate a hol
Jaxson POV My man card was slowly being ripped to shreds as I held on to Scarlet as we walked down the hallway to the kitchen. I should be healed in the next day or two but damn, this shit sucks. No wonder Scarlet hated laying in bed, I couldn’t do it. Limping became easier so I was able to put more weight on my good leg so it wasn’t like I was completely leaned up against her. I just sent an email to the council about Scarlet and informing them of what has been going on. I told them all about Jared and his attempts on her life and the fact that we are fated and mated mates. I am really hoping this will put an end to everything. I would love to see Jared get stripped of his title. That would just put the icing on the cake. Plus, since it is now public knowledge, Michelle should see it too. Not that she has really bothered me lately but I feel pretty confident she will stay away. As we approached the kitchen, Courtney opened the door for me. All I wanted to do was glare at her but
Scarlet POV “I’ll grab some ice too!” I said and turned around to get it. As I did, I heard him say, “we aren’t making it to the bedroom” Before I could respond, he had gotten up and I heard the lock on the kitchen door sound. My anxiety flared with the possibility of being caught but also the chance of being caught was a turn on. I kept going to the fridge and pulling out some ice before I went to the fridge and pulled the cake out and cut us a slice. Hands wrapped around my waist and pulled me against something hard. Something extra hard was rammed into my ass through my pants, letting me know he was ready. Turning around and slipping off his shirt, I smeared chocolate cake on his nipples before taking my time to lick it off. His hands tighten their grip on my hips as I continued to work my tongue on each nippled. Playfully biting them as well. Jaxson wasted little time in yanking my sweats down to my ankles and lifting me up so my bare ass was sitting on the counter tops. A l
Jaxson POV It’s been one week and it seems the mood in the packhouse is very low. We have been getting alot of work done but everyone is kind of like, meh. I guess it is a good thing we are having this Christmas gift exchange plus day together. Maybe that will lighten the mood around here. Scarlet has been working at her desk or will move to the couch to sketch. The only bad thing about this arrangement is she is distracting for me. If I’m not just staring at her, I am listening to her hum. She has a beautiful voice but damn if it keeps my attention away from work. I am pretty sure she has submitted like three new jewelry lines this last week. She has changed all fundraising to on-line so there isn’t another chance of getting stabbed. From what I have gathered, it is all running pretty smoothly. My club and restaurant seem to be running smoothly as well. No major issues and I have been able to handle everyone over the phone or via zoom. I will be happy when this is over because I
Scarlet POV “I contacted your company and had them design this for you. Of course it was my ideas as well but they really put my images to reality. This woven pattern is for us always being together and linked as one. We will forever be intertwined as one. You have driven me crazy and pissed me off more than I can count but you are my mate and Scarlet, I love you. I know this is unusual for wolves but will you please, not only be my luna, but be my wife?” Jaxson had taken the ring out and was showing me the band as he talked. My eyes were glued to this ring like it was the only thing in this world. All the air had escaped my lungs and my nerves stopped responding. It wasn’t until Jaxson actually took my hand and the feeling of sparks erupting up my arm did I snap out of my daydream. The sounds of everyone holding their breath was deafening as my mind was racing through what had just happened. “Scarlet?” Jaxson said, worriedly, I felt the worry filtrate through me. “W-what?” I st
Jaxson POV Last night was great. Not only did I beat my sister, I got engaged to Scarlet. As quietly as I could, I started picking up the chips that were thrown around the room. Flash back “And the river card is…” Mason said as we all were waiting for the flip. “7 of clubs!” Fuck yeah! I had two pairs, Ace high. That should beat Jennifer. She had to bet and she put in $300. So I matched her and since she was first, she had to flip first. She flipped over two pairs also, two Jacks and two sevens. Jennifer looked pretty proud of herself but I knew I won. “Well, sis…” I said, trying to make it sound like she won. “That sucks for you!” flipping over my cards so she saw that I won. She got so mad she flipped the table and left. We all died of laughter but Mason and Courtney decided to leave as well. End of Flashback “Jaxson?” I heard a sleepy voice call out from somewhere under the covers. “Yes?” I responded back. “What are you doing?” “Cleaning up, we fell asleep after we sta
