Thank you all for reading! I will be at the lake with my family so if my updating is random, that is why! I will still try to get a chapter out everyday!
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
Jaxson POV The pin and needle pain shot through my arm but I dared not to move in fear of waking Scarlet up. The sun was barely visible but my nerves were already shot. How the fuck am I suppose to let my pregnant fiance, mate and luna to fight to the death with an ex fling? Rolling over, I tried to reposition my shoulder to allow blood flow to my fingers with no such luck. Instead, I settled for placing my hand over her stomach to feel for any kicks. My little boy didn’t disappoint as soon as I placed my hand on her stomach, he started kicking away. “That is one way to be woken up, by the little demon trying to get out of you.” Scarlet yawned. “He is not a demon!” I shook my head at her description of what it felt like to feel the baby’s kick. “No uterus, no opinion” Scarlet rolled her eyes at me but was smiling. “How much longer till we will finally know if it is a boy or girl?” I asked as I retracted my arm. Shaking it to allow the blood to flow back to my fingers. “Next we
Scarlet POV The bell rang and Michelle came flying at me. She had this crazed look in her eyes that honestly scared the crap out of me. She went for the obvious strike and threw her right arm that was pulled back for ten feet before she got to me. I saw it coming so I was able to dodge it. She wasn’t giving up as she continued to throw her left fist then her right. It was all I could do to block every strike. My movements were a blur as I felt the sting in my forearm each time I blocked her. At the last second, I saw her body twist and she brought her knee up. I did the only thing I could think of and turn to the side and take the knee to my hip. It hurt like a mother fucker as the sharp pain of her knee hitting my bone. My leg instantly went dead and I dropped a little. Thankfully, she missed her mark as I dropped and was thrown off balance. Without thinking, I punched her twice in the stomach before I got my footing and as she was hunched over me, I stood up delivering an upperc
Jaxson POV “Well, that was entertaining to say the least!” The voice I heard behind me made every hair in my body raise. Standing up was easy when all your muscles are tensed and ready to go at any minute. A warrior handed me some shorts that I quickly put on. “Councilman Mitch, I didn’t expect to see you here today.” I said politely “I just wanted to pop over and watch the challenges. I had no doubt they would be held correctly but it was nice to see an Alpha that obeys the law!” Councilman Mitch walked inside the cage and looked at a dead Jared in a pool of his own blood. “I will always follow the rules.” I wasn’t sure what I needed to say. Everything sounded wrong anymore and I was feeling like there was a double meaning to everything he said now. “I have no doubt about that! Looks like this was an easy kill for you.” “Very, he was pathetic and I had a lot of built up resentment towards him I needed to let out. He died before I was fully satisfied but whatever. Losing the
Scarlet POV Waking up this morning wasn’t as hard as I expected it to be. Yeah, I was sore but I felt worse and my excitement overpowered any stiffness I was feeling. Since I was technically supposed to keep it easy and not do much, we decided a pool day would be in order. I guess Jennifer and Kyle don’t get to go swimming a lot so this is what we are doing as we meet him. Looking at the clock, it was already 10am and Jaxson was gone. Most likely already working as there was so much to do but my mind was on swimming so he can fill me in later. Rolling out of bed, and making my way to the closet to find my bathing suit. Not sure if it will even fit but whatever. It was easy enough to find as it was in my underwear. I found two separate ones. Both were bikinis. The first one was an adjustable top with bottoms that were more like a thong. The bright yellow kind of flushed my skin since I haven’t been able to tan much and with how large my breasts have grown, I felt really uncomfortabl
Jaxson POV “I appreciate you coming here to help us.” I said to Kyle as we walked into my office. “No problem. I was missing Jennifer and anytime I can come visit is good. Besides, it was getting quite boring back home. Sometimes, an Alpha just needs some action.” “I can’t disagree with you there but I think I have seen enough action for a while.” I laughed as I sat down in my chair. Kyle took a chair in front of my desk. “Scarlet seems nice. The mated life suits you.” Kyle smiled at me. He knew of my playboy ways and what having a mate actually meant to someone like me. “She is everything I’m not. We are having a boy in about four months.” I agreed with Kyle. “Congratulations!” Kyle said as he nodded. I know children are a sore spot for Kyle and Jennifer so I didn’t stay on this topic. “Thanks. So what has Jennifer filled you in on?” “Basics just in case the lines weren’t safe.” Kyle got straight to business mode. “Okay, long story short, here we go. I had a fling, bed
Scarlet POV My day of relaxation is over and today is going to be all about the crazy. I just slipped out of the shower and put on a cotton maternity dress with sandals. It was all gray in color with three white buttons down and flowed out. Dresses I have found are more comfortable then leggings at this point so ordering more will be needed. I pulled my hair off to the side in a braid and just applied a light layer of makeup. I was not only a Luna but I am going to get married so I didn’t need to look all dolled up but still presentable. I decided to work out of Jaxson’s office today since I need to make phone calls and I will be in and out all day regardless. Jaxson, of course, is pissed I am not “taking it easy” but I am in a way. I’m not walking everywhere and if I leave the packhouse, I promised to take a golf cart…slowly. Jaxson still wasn’t fully convinced so he sent out a mass mind-link that if anyone runs into me today, they are supposed to make sure I am comfortable, my w
