Jaxson POV Fucking pregnany nympho… I swear, this girl will be the death of me. Unlocking the front door to my actual house and walking in was refreshing. It was a two story, mid century house that was designed for comfort. Earthy tones, carpet, light gray walls, with tile in the kitchen and bathrooms. It was home. Nothing about this screamed Alpha or money but love and comfort. It was my home to get away from everything. The walls were filled with pictures of my childhood and my life up until this point. Walking upstairs, there were three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a little family room that looked over the living room. The master bedroom had a king size bed in it with cotton white bedding. A bassinet could go right beside the bed and maybe a crib in one of the spare bedrooms? Either way, I spent the next hour going through the house. Cleaning any dust and spraying some air freshener around so the whole house smells clean. I wasn’t a dirty person per say but I haven’t been to this
Scarlet POV It’s been almost a week since I found out I was pregnant. Overall, I have been feeling okay, still get nauseous in the mornings mostly but I have been able to hide it from everyone. Since we are leaving tomorrow for Washington at 6:30am, I decided we needed to tell everyone that I was pregnant so they would be able to help me if needed. In total, we are taking Jennifer, Mason and Zach. Courtney is going to stay behind and do some work. Leaving the gamma in charge to run things but hopefully this trial doesn’t take more than one day. So we are sitting in our office. Jaxson is at his desk typing away like nothing is going on and I am at mine, tapping my nails on it, waiting for 7pm to hit so everyone will be here. We ate in our office so Jaxson could keep working so they are finishing eating before they come up. “You need to relax.” Jaxson said, without even looking at me. “I’m trying…” sighing, leaning back in my chair and putting my hands on my head to keep them stil
Jaxson POV “Alpha! Rouges invading on the East border!” I got an urgent mind-link from a warrior that sounded like he was already engaging in a fight. “FUCK! Rouges are attacking, East border. Go to the office and lock the room down!” I practically yelled at Scarlet before kissing her and running out the door. “Mason! Rouges, East border. Send Courtney with Scarlet to the safe room in my office.” “Fuck!” Mason replied back. I knew the girls could probably handle their own but Scarlet is pregnant and that changes things. Shifting mid air as I flew out the front door, the earth oozed under my paws as I ran as fast as I possibly could. I felt Mason behind me but as an alpha, I was faster. Approaching the East part of the pack, I saw my warriors had already been handling the fight so far but they were outnumbered. “All warriors, attack on the East border!” I send a full pack alert to get everyone here, ASAP. Most people who could not defend themselves were already at Alpha Maverick
Scarlet POV “Jackson said we can go back to our rooms.” I told Courtney as I pressed the clear button on the emergency panel. “That was weird. Must not have been very big to already be over.” Courtney shrugged. “I guess. Hopefully, everyone is okay.” Opening the door, Courtney headed for her room. “I am going to go check on the people at the hospital.” “Okay, goodnight!” Courtney waved and kept on walking. I walked to the front door and started going to the doctor’s office. I can’t believe I am willingly going back here. The whole place gave me the creeps. The stars were out and shining brightly as the moon cascaded light to the ground below. It was absolutely beautiful at night. The magical feel of being hidden in the shadows but the natural light leading the way was something I will always cherish. As I approached the hospital, the lights were on and people were going in and out. Some crying and some smiling. Taking a deep breath, I opened the front door and headed inside.
Jaxson POV The hot water spraying my back was doing little to ease the tension I was feeling. It was five fucking a.m in the morning. Pretty sure I didn’t sleep at all. Scarlet was like dead to the world. So much was riding on this but I just had a feeling that things weren’t going to be over after this, regardless of the outcome. I still had to find Penelope’s killer. If there is another assassin out there, that is bad news to us. Scarlet had to come and testify. It will be so much harder to keep her safe outside the walls of my pack. Any number of things could happen. We could get into a plane crash, car wreck or even someone could blow the court up. I never really thought about all the ways to kill someone until you are trying to protect someone. Even as an assassin. The bathroom door flew open and brought me out of my thoughts. I was about to see who it was but the sound of someone vomiting filled the room. Scarlet has had a rough couple morning lately with this pregnancy. Shutt
Scarlet POV When the tires hit the runway, I’m pretty sure that I jumped. My white knuckles were gripping the armrest so Jaxson just had his arms crossed over his chest. I could tell he was trying to control his emotions by the little bit I received from him. If it wasn’t the nerves that were getting the best of me, it was the nausea that still hadn’t gone away for the day. My hand covered my mouth as I tried to breath through my nose so I didn’t vomit. Jaxson kept looking at me in sideways glances, like he was waiting for me to blow. Jennifer was both sympathetic and amused. “Bite me.” Is all I could get out as the plane settled to a stop. That pushed Jennifer over the edge and she busted out laughing. “Come my pitiful sister. Let’s get you off the plane.” Jennifer stood up and took my hand as the flight attendant opened the doors. Jaxson had already stood up and the men were already up and moving around. I needed a few seconds to stand so Jennifer waited patiently. I focused o
Jaxson POV I had full confidence this trial would go our way but what I wasn’t sure about is what Jared will do after. I just had a feeling that something was going to happen. “Let’s begin,” Councilman Jeff announced without looking up from his paperwork. “Mr. Smith, you may start with your opening statement.” Mr. Smith stood up, straightened his jacket and stepped forward. “Thank you, Councilmen. We have brought you all here today to present the heinous acts of Alpha Jared. Acts that not only violate werewolf laws but basic human decency. Alpha Jared has not only stalked Ms. Scarlet, excuse me, Luna Scarlet but successfully kidnapped, tortured, bound and threated sexual abuse on. Alpha Jared has also shown to be unstable as an Alpha should be by sending his own people to their deaths, solely for his own personal gain. By the end of this trail, we are asking for Alpha Jared to be stripped of his title. Releasing him from the power to control, hurt and manipulate the good citizens
Scarlet POV “How would you feel to learn that she was hired to steal them back from you?” Mr. Smith inquired. This is crazy. Jaxson must have contacted Jonathan about this and to even have that list pisses me off. He would have had to go through my phone and through my email to fully get it. Time and effort went into this and all of this was behind my back. I prided myself on confidentiality and he is blowing it. Alpha Jared looked shocked, “Hired to steal it?” He asked more to himself than to anyone. “Yes, that is what I just said.” Mr. Smith stated as he waited for Alpha Jared to process what he asked. “Do you have proof?” Alpha Jared inquired suddenly. “I think I will ask the questions here. Do you realize that the law states that until someone is marked and mated, and/or not a member of your pack, you do not have the authority to discipline without the consent of their Alpha?” Mr. Smith blasted Alpha Jared. “Since she was mine, via her dad, I had every right to handle the s
