Mel's POVAs we begin eating, Elinda clears her throat. “Another meeting with Alpha Damon?” she asks quietly.“Yep.” He doesn’t say anything else, and she doesn’t pry any further. The tension in the room is palpable, and I regret like hell I didn’t bolt before he got here. Why won’t he look at me? And why does it make my chest ache?I glance at him, trying to read his mood. His eyes seem distant, like he’s miles away trapped in his own head, and that doesn’t sit right with me. I want to know what his meetings with my dad are really about, and if he won’t talk to his mom, he should be able to talk to me.Moon tries to lighten the mood with stories about her adventures on the playground, her cute laughter breaking through the heavy atmosphere. Elinda smiles at her, and even Jaxon manages a small grin. But when his gaze drifts toward me, it’s like a wall goes up again. He looks away, pretending to focus on the food he’s barely touched.What the fuck is his problem? I know I’ve been avoidi

Mel's POVI sigh and unwillingly follow him upstairs to his room. Once we’re inside, he closes the door and pins me against the wall. I glance up into his dark eyes, and the intensity makes my heart stutter. “Does your boyfriend know how wet you get from a single touch from me?” he asks, his voice low and rough. His hand runs along my side, his fingers tracing the hem of my shorts, teasing me. I want him to touch me, to tear off my clothes and take me right here against the wall, but I can’t allow that to happen. This is wrong—so fucking wrong. We can’t do this.I force myself to breathe, to think. “Jaxon, stop,” I say weakly. “You have no right to touch me like this.”He leans in, his breath hot against my neck. “You sure about that? Because your body is saying something else.” His lips brush against my skin, and I nearly explode, letting out a desperate whimper.Fuck. Me. I grit my teeth, feeling Nina urging me to give in. But we can’t. If we cross this line, there’s no going back.

Jaxon’s POVToday is my Alpha ceremony. Omegas from the packhouse arrive early to move my things into the Alpha’s floor. Mom had a choice to move with me, but she wanted to stay in the home my father built for us. At least Ameer will be living here with me, so I won’t be all alone. As for Melanie, who knows how things will turn out. What if she decides at the last minute, she doesn’t want to be my Beta? Wait…she doesn’t have a choice. Alpha Damon will kill her if I don’t intervene.After my morning run with Ameer, Alpha Damon summons me to the packhouse. He sits at his desk, sipping coffee. “So, Jaxon, how is our plan going?” he asks, his voice calm but with an edge that raises the hairs on the back of my neck.I take a deep breath before answering. “Alpha, I don’t have enough evidence to exile her yet. I need time.”In a flash, he crosses the room, pinning me against the door with his forearm at my throat. His eyes are red, his wolf dangerously close to the surface. “I chose you for a

Jaxon's POVFortunately, the windows are open, and after a few minutes, we catch sight of Melanie in the kitchen, digging through the freezer. She pulls out some ice cream and starts eating it straight out of the tub while dancing around the kitchen. She’s wearing pajamas and her hair is tied into a messy bun. I chuckle at how fucking adorable she looks.You’re a bad influence, Shadow. We should leave. I say that, but I end up spending another twenty minutes watching her. Just as I’m about to leave, she stands in front of the bedroom window on the second floor and begins unbuttoning her shirt. It falls to the floor, revealing a black, lacy bra. I can’t tear my eyes away from her flawless body as her pants are the next to come off.Fuck, I’ll need a cold shower after this. This feels creepy. We should go, I tell Shadow, but he doesn’t budge, his focus entirely on Melanie. It’s not just lust. There’s something deeper, something that ties us to her in a way I can’t explain.Her eyes sud

Mel’s POVAfter picking up Moon from Elinda’s house for the last time, I head to the packhouse. Every member of the Nightshade Shadows pack gathers near the river behind the house for the ceremony. I was hoping to see Jaxon at his mom’s, but he had already left. Maybe he’s just getting ready for the ceremony, but a part of me wonders if he’s avoiding me after what happened earlier.I’m still in disbelief about my little strip tease in front of the window. I wasn’t planning on doing that, but when Nina and I picked up Jaxon’s scent and caught him practically stalking me from the woods, I just couldn't help myself. I wanted him to see what he could never touch again, that the “favor” was a one-time thing. No more playing games.Instead of meeting Malcolm at the house, Pat gave me his number, so I texted him to meet me here at the ceremony. But I have something to do first. I sneak through the backdoor of the packhouse and find Mom in the room that used as a nursery for Moon and me. She’s

Mel's POV I try to hold it together as I find Moon at the grand dining table eating a bowl of Mac-n-cheese. “Where’s Mom?” she asks.I force a smile. “C’mon, the ceremony is about to start. Are you finished eating?”She nods, and Beth collects the empty dish and ushers us outside. “Hurry along, you don’t want to upset Alpha,” she urges gently. The sadness in her eyes tells me she’s aware of what’s about to happen, too.I quickly locate Bliss and Patrick, sitting down waiting for the ceremony to begin. Bliss frowns when her eyes land on me. “Hey Mel, Malcom has been looking for you. You haven’t checked your phone?”I place Moon in the empty chair beside her. “I need you to watch Moon for a minute,” I rush out.Her eyes widen. “But Malcom-”“Don’t let her out of your sight,” I shout over my shoulder as I hurry in the opposite direction. Dad is walking around, charming his people like the corrupt fucking asshole he is. It works in my favor though—that means he is too busy not to mind his

Jaxon’s POVI slip off my clothes and step into the warm water, the sediment at the bottom of the lake squishing between my toes. The sun is beginning to set, but the summer air is still very warm, matching the temperature of the lake.Nervousness creeps in as I stand before the entire pack. Everyone is seated in rows, dressed in white outfits that will be shredded when they all shift for our first run with me being Alpha.My heart pounds in my ears and sweat dampens the back of my neck. I scan through the crowd of faces I’ve known my entire life until I find those alluring violet eyes staring back at me. Melanie gives me a small smile, and it seems to make everything okay. I swear, I want to drown in those eyes. Hell, I’ll volunteer to drown between her legs if she’d let me.Alpha Damon clears his voice loudly to gain everyone’s attention as he stands beside me. This is rather intimate—us standing in the water naked together. I’d prefer literally anyone else."Greetings!” he booms. “T

Jaxon's POV Melanie and Ameer stand up and walk down the aisle to the front of the pack. They both kneel in before me, showing their allegiance. I place a hand on her shoulder, trying to ignore the sparks dancing along my fingertips. “I appoint you, Melanie Stokes, as the Beta of the Nightshade Shadows.”Her expression is neutral, but I catch a glint of pride as she blinks back the tears forming in her eyes.I do the same to my best friend. “I appoint you, Ameer Carter, as the Gamma of the Nightshade Shadows.” Ameer smiles broadly, just happy to be a part of my team.The murmurs in the crowd continue, and I can feel their skepticism. I know choosing Melanie was going to be controversial, but this was the only way to protect her. They’ll just have to shut the fuck up and respect her.I immediately feel their auras shift to match the authority of their new ranks. As Melanie and Ameer stand up, I turn to the pack, all eyes on me as they await my command. “As your new Alpha, I will now le
