Aren't cliff hangers so much fun!
Jaxson POV I was walking right behind Scarlet as we headed towards our office. That comment really didn’t settle well with me. I know business is business but damn if they are going to be calling the shots in my own pack. Maverick was on the other side of Scarlet and by the way he is walking and holding himself, he isn’t happy either. Scarlet on the other hand was cool and collected. She was born for this. I couldn’t have been more proud of how she handled those two little girls. I gotta say, when I heard the challenge I was instantly pissed. Ready to tear the head off of the girl that even muttered those words. I didn’t even want a Luna and now that I have one, she has my whole heart. To think I would let another woman in is ridiculous. Walking into the office, Maverick held the door for everyone and I went around to my desk and sat down, pulling Scarlet on my lap. Mainly to help me stay calm but it also felt right. I would watch other Alpha’s do this and even my own parents. Mav
Scarlet POV Turns out, the trial was scheduled for Monday. The email came out and stated it was an emergency trial and it didn’t say why. I could only imagine Jared and Michelle losing their minds. They haven’t officially become Alpha and Luna but they were acting as such. I haven’t spoken much with Maverick or Jaxson since Saturday night. I don’t know what to feel. I know I am strong enough to see Jared and the thought of Michelle under Jaxson just lights a fire in me. I haven’t been ignoring them, just haven’t been overly vocal with them either. We were standing in the councilman's lobby, waiting for court to start. Thankfully, they took Jared and Michelle to another area to wait. Looking around, I looked at how everything was built. What their flow was and how they maximized all their space. Some of it made sense and some of it was just awkward. Almost to the point that I wonder if this building wasn’t something else before it was built. The light white colors made everything a
Jaxson POV “Well, this should be interesting.” I muttered. Internally, I was freaking out over Michelle challenging Scarlet. “However, Scarlet is pregnant and a challenge cannot happen when she is pregnant.” “Actually, it can. The law doesn’t actually say that they have to be baby free in a challenge!” Michelle folded her arms over her chest in triumph. Looking at the councilmen, they all squirmed in their seats. “I’m sorry, Luna Scarlet, the challenge will stand.” Councilman Jeff looked pained as he said the words. “Jared, let’s go home and start training more.” Michelle said with an evil smirk on her face. “Actually, Michelle, I have other plans. I am not obligated to allow any training to happen. You will be moved to a location of my choosing and will start your new job as a maid in the cells. It will start immediately. Jared, your new job as gardener will start immediately as well. Neither of you are permitted in any packhouse unless invited by myself, Luna Scarlet or my be
Scarlet POV “Jaxson?” my voice cracked as I held back the tears that threatened to fall. Holding my hand out, I had a warm red liquid that ran down my fingers. I had just gotten to the bathroom when I felt a rush of fluid soak my panties. With my fingers, I felt the outside of my legging and came back with it. My body was trembling as my mind was processing what exactly this meant. The brain was saying miscarriage but my heart was screaming no. It felt like all the air left my body as I was unable to breathe. The redness on my fingertips went so much but yet nothing at all. It felt like thousands of knives stabbing deep in me so hard that I was just frozen in place. I wasn’t even able to look at Jaxson as I just stared at the blood, wishing it wasn’t there. I’m not even sure what happened next but what I was able to mental process was being in Jaxson’s arms and the wind in my hair. Was there screaming? Yelling? I don’t know, it was like I was in a dream and it all seems unreal. The
Jaxson POV “Which way did they go?” yelled Maverick. It would be like they vanished out of thin air. They hadn’t had a head start really so where the fuck did they go! “This way!” Maverick yelled as we went sprinting off toward the wooded area. We ran into the woods, following their scent. It was only like 15 feet into the woods that a new smell invaded my nasal passage. “ROGUES!” I yelled. “Attention! Rogues, north of the hospital, all warriors report!” I let out a mass link to my warriors in the pack to alert them. “Where are they? I smell them but I can’t see them!” Maverick was looking around, trying to find them. It wasn’t until we heard the screams behind us that they had already invaded the pack. “The hospital…” my heart crashed as it dawned on me what happened. He tricked us and led us away from the baby. We left Scarlet unprotected and now rogues were attacking. “Alpha! They are attacking the hospital. At least 200!” I got a mind-link from a warrior. “Headed there
Scarlet POV I have come up with a plan on how to make all this work. If my hunches are correct, I think I have figured all this out and now it is just time to get it all in motion. Jaxson was in own little world trying to figure out what was happening and didn’t even pay attention to where I was taking him. If I was correct, we need to tread very carefully and trust no one. Finally, we got to Jaxson’s house. It was filled with baby stuff that we haven’t put together yet but what he didn’t know is that I have been coming here when I was supposed to be working on the housing project sometimes. I needed a quiet space so that no one would bother me. I even designed a new jewelry line based off of this house, while I was here. “What are we doing here? Scarlet, we have too much work to do to be here!” Jaxson turned to leave. “NO!” I shouted and even stomped my foot. That seemed to amuse him so he stopped and folded his arms over his chest. “No?” he wasn’t mad but he wasn’t happy eith
Jaxson POV I felt like the shittiest person in the whole world. Sitting across from me is the man that I grew up with. The man that was there for me through everything in my whole life, my parent’s dying, fights I had, heartbreaks and all my tasks. I was sitting here questioning his loyalty to me. Would he really betray me like this? “Que-questions?” Courtney stammered. “Colt? Why is Colt here?” Mason was instantly on the defense. “I will explain everything after. I promise but please, just answer the questions and then I will explain and it will all make sense.” Scarlet pleaded with them. Her heart was hurting watching me put them through this. I didn’t feel any better about it. “I am sorry but I have to command you guys to be 100% sure about this before I can let her explain.” I let my aura out to elope Mason and Courtney, causing them to bare their necks painfully. “I command you to tell me the full truth and not omit anything out.” They both nodded and I pulled back and pu
Scarlet POV “Well, I mean it is just that. A theory. I have been thinking and after the rogue attack, I feel like I know what is fully going on. The bigger picture if you will. Let me get through the whole thing before you ask questions though.” She looked pointedly at them before continuing. “Jaxson hasn’t received a job from the council since we mated. The only job he did receive after we met, I went along and we mated and my house burnt down. Huge press. Since then, his priorities have changed and I believe that the council doesn’t see him as reliable or trustworthy not to do the jobs without question. Before, all they had to say was the person did this but never really provided proof. He was their puppet to eliminate people as needed. Since he isn’t a cowboy anymore, they needed someone new. The past few months that we have been together and not one job was offered to him but we know jobs have been offered to another person. We have talked about another assassin being out there. N

Scarlet POV “These boys are a handful!” Maverick laughed. Ever since he walked into the hospital room, I knew it would be hard to get rid of him. He has been the most involved uncle and supporter through everything. It has been a full year since I had the boys. The headquarters has finished and we are set to move in next week. Jonathan’s death was ruled undiagnosed diabetes so natural causes were blamed. It was a crazy week but Councilman Mitch had decided to take over Jonathan’s spot in the government. That decision surprised us all since he said he wanted to retire but I guess the money was too good to pass up. Today was a day of celebration and sorrow. Today, I get to marry my best friend and soulmate. Jaxson has been the best father and mate I could have ever asked for. Mason and Courtney are also leaving after the ceremony. After a long heart to heart, they believe this is what is best. Mason is taking a leave of absence from being Beta and going to see if he can work things o
Jaxson POV“I’m here!” I yelled as I sprinted into the hospital. The glass shattered behind me but all I knew was that I needed to get to Scarlet. “GET IN HERE!” Scarlet yelled. She was laying on her back with her feet in the air. It was just a little after 1 am and I sped the whole way after my flight. Jennifer had been calling to update me and I didn’t think I would make it. Rushing to her side, I looked panickedly between her, her exposed area and the doctor who looked calm as can be. “What’s going on?” “She is ten centimeters dilated and is pushing.” The doctor just stared at her vagina that looked more like a purple and blue swollen chunk of flesh. Nothing resembled a vagina that I grew so accustomed to. “AHHH” Scarlet was drenched in sweat as she grabbed my hand to squeeze it. “Breathe in and breathe out.” I tried coaching her through the contraction.“F…fuck…off” she breathed out as she rested her head back on the pillow breathing heavily. She looked at me with so much pai
Scarlet POV “It’s too fucking hot outside to do any walking!” I was complaining to deaf ears as Jennifer pulled on my arm to get me to stand up. “The doctor said it would be good for you to walk around. Get your blood flowing and get that baby to drop.” My stomach was massive at this point and it really hurt my back to be walking or moving around much. “He also said to take it easy!” Fighting her was futile so I just let my legs tremble as she practically lifted me up. “I am massive! Most people don’t get this big!” “Most people don’t have an Alpha male in their stomach.” Jennifer kept her arm around mine so if I went down, she would be able to catch me. It was a real possibility as I waddled my way around to the garden. I have been loving coming out here and sitting for some time. It got me out of the house and outside in the fresh air. We didn’t speak as the hot air ran through our hair, the sun sliding past the moisture that had formed and staining our skin a darker shade.
Jaxson POV “I have to say, it is a pleasure to see you.” I smirked as I hit the emergency shut off switch. There weren't any alarms as Damian had cut them off. “Fuckk hou!” Jonathan tried to stand and swing at me. Stepping back as his fist wildly flew by, he lost his balance and fell to the ground. “You did this to yourself.” Reaching into my pocket, I pulled out the insulin. “It belsonged to me! I sent him down theres and I financsed the trip! Everything he found belonged to me!” Jonathan had stayed on the ground but backed into a corner. Giving up on fighting, he turned to anger. “Wrong. The land is mine and therefore not only were you trespassing, you stole from me. Even if I let you live, I would show proof that it was found in my land and that you stole it from me. What would happen to your reputation then?” I taunted him. Well, half getting my own anger out. “You have no proof!” He yelled. “Maybe not right now but I could get some. Regardless, you aren’t making it ou
Jaxson POV There was no reason to wake up early as the party doesn’t get started until 7pm tonight. I couldn’t take the chance to be seen today so I haven’t left the room. I am so stir crazy that I might just jump out the window for fun. Anthony had left early this morning to fulfill his role in being a waiter and Damian had been popping in and out, trying to run a pack like normal so it didn’t look suspicious. It was finally 6:30pm and the show was about to start. My adrenaline has been pumping for the last few hours as the time drew near. The syringe was capped and in my pocket, my suit was buttoned and my gloves were on. Taking one last look at the elevator system, I felt like I was finally in my element. This was the most public execution I have ever done. It both scared and excited me at the same time. “Ready?” Damian asked as he straightened his tie. “Cameras and everything is all set up so you just need to stay in the background until it is time to see you. I am headed to t
Jaxson POV “I’m not sure, let me text Jasmine…” Damian and I slipped quietly back into the suit so we were not seen. Damian slipped his phone out and began texting Jasmine before putting it on vibrate and setting it on the coffee table. “Maybe he just wanted to avoid a crowd or -” Damian’s phone shook the glass top of the table, interrupting me. My cells were itching forward to see what she said. Not in fear but in excitement. This is the type of shit I love. Spontaneous and using your brain. “She said she was unaware of why he arrived early but apparently her staff got the call an hour ago that he would be here and she was busy making sure accommodations were ready. Her staff got busy and forgot to call her to let her know.” Damian said with a frown. “I could see that. Her staff is trained well and knew what needed to be done to make sure he was happy when arrived. They did mess up by not calling her but still handled it correctly.” “Still doesn’t answer the question on why
Jaxson POV“Jaxson! Over here!” I heard from afar. Looking over the heads of the crowd, I saw Damian waving slightly at me. Nodding and then picking up my bags, I headed over to him. “Hey man!” We slapped hands and into a grip before our elbows hit each other's chest into a manly hug. “Flight go okay?” “Yeah, I didn’t realize we were landing in a public airport.”“Well, my private one got shut down due to “improper lane length” according to the government.” He put quotes in the air around that. “Makes sense really.” I teased“That’s why I need you to get this done ASAP.” “Me too, I would really like to shove his own ass down this throat.” I murmured as we slid into Damian’s car. “I understand you have met the driver before?” Damian motioned and none other than Anthony turned and nodded at me. “Well, fuck me. What are you doing here?” “I worked for the council on government assignments and since we aren’t doing that anymore, I have come to lead my skills to you.”“Please tell m
Jaxson POV- The next few chapters will be Jaxson I’m sitting at my desk staring at the same piece of paper for an hour now. The word denied was plastered in red across the top. It was an application to get a government inspection on the new headquarters that I had built. Since it is a government building, it needs a government inspection to sign off on it. The application was denied because it wasn’t “filled out correctly” and “doesn’t meet the requirements of a government facility”. Which is bullshit but just another than that Jonathan had pushed back against it. This shit was getting ridiculous. I know I can’t let it go on much further but honestly, how would I even do it? I’m not fucking scared to kill him but he is the fucking vice president of the United Fucking States of fucking America! He won’t have wolves guarding him so that should make it easier but I dunno. Pulling out his schedule, I looked at it. He will be in California today and threw the rest of the week. My Alph
