Jaxon's POV

“Mel, why did you really leave the hospital?” I ask as we finish eating.

This question has been weighing on my mind since I found her at Bliss’s house.

I told you…I needed some fresh air.

“That’s a lie. Try again.”

She averts my gaze, looking down in her empty lap. Fine. It’s just…I didn’t know he’d still be in the hospital after…everything.

My jaw twitches. No wonder she didn’t want to tell me the real reason. She’s afraid…of him. She’s right about to be— he shouldn’t be recovering right now. He should be fucking dead.

“I’m sorry, my hands are tied,” I growl lowly, my frustration resurfacing. “The Council…they won’t let me touch him. You deserve justice, but I couldn’t get it for you.”

How can I be Alpha, and still feel so powerless? It doesn’t make sense. I’ve only had the title for three days, and I’m already failing one of my pack members—one of the most important ones to me.

She touches my forearm, gazing at me with the gentlest eyes. When I first heard he was still t

    Mel's POVJaxon slips the torn shirt off my shoulders before sitting up to kiss them. He reaches behind and swiftly unhooks my bra, letting it slip from my arms onto the floor. Our eyes lock as I slowly lift his shirt over his head, revealing his perfect, muscular chest. My hands move to his jeans, and I start undoing his belt. He plants kisses on my neck as I fumble with the buckle.How the fuck do you get this off?Growling in desperation, he quickly replaces my hands with his, effortlessly undoing his belt and throwing it across the room. Flipping me onto the bed, he removes his pants before doing the same to mine.He leans in again to kiss me. Our mouths move in sync, slowly and sensually, like an erotic dance. It's like we have both been waiting for this forever. Well, maybe he has because I didn't know this was happening until just a few minutes ago.I can feel his erection grinding against me, and I need it so fucking badly."Is this alright?"

    Mel's POV"Jaxon, fuck me now!" I demand, pushing him away from my groin."Impatient, are we?" He stands up and pulls me closer to the edge of the bed, making me gasp. I watch as his saliva drips onto my pussy.Like I wasn't wet enough for him already.He positions himself between my legs, coating his dick in my wetness as he rubs it between my folds. Rolling my hips, I moan, "Fuck me.”He smirks. "I don't think I will." He smacks the huge mushroom cap of a head on my clit, and I stifle another moan.Is he serious right now? I didn't like being teased, especially not by him. I reach for him because if he's going to play fucking games, I might as well take it myself.He slaps my hand away. "Patience, baby girl. Good things come to those who wait.""Jaxon, this isn't funny," I groan. "I'm so fucking horny.”His eyes, dark pools of desire, lock with mine as he slips his giant tip in and out of me. "You like that?" he rasps, his tongue slowly tracing along his bottom lip.I push my hips fo

    Jaxon’s POVAfter too many rounds to count, Melanie and I lay naked, covered in sweat, panting beside each other. The silence in the room is thick enough to cut with a knife. We both stare at the ceiling, our bodies spent but our minds racing.Sex with Mel was amazing, easily the best I've ever had. It was everything I dreamed it would be and more. One touch, and I’m fucking addicted. I can’t get her out of my head—the way her skin felt against mine, the way she responded to my every touch, every kiss. It’s like we allowed our animalistic urges to take over. I even got her to beg for my dick. It doesn't get any better than that.The silence finally starts to kill me. I wonder what she's thinking about. Does she have any regrets? I prop myself up on my elbow and look at her. "So, was that the best sex you've ever had, or what?" I ask, half-teasing, half-serious.She laughs, rolling her beautiful eyes. "It was okay. I've had better."Such a fucking liar.I grin. "Hmm, pity. I guess I nee

    Jaxon's POV"Moon Goddess, that was amazing!" Melanie exclaims, collapsing beside me on the bed. Sunlight spills through the window as the sun rises, casting a warm glow in the room. We'll have to get up soon to complete our pack duties, but right now, I enjoy every second of her presence."Be careful, the Moon Goddess might hear you," I warn playfully.Well half-playfully.Who knows the powers she possesses, but I hope the Moon Goddess doesn't mind the fact that I'm fucking one of her chosen guardians or whatever she is to her.Melanie snorts. "Do you actually believe she exists?""Do you?" I ask, curious about her response.She pauses, considering it. "Maybe, but if she was, why would she choose someone like my father as Alpha? Like, yeah, let's give all of these narcissistic, fucked up assholes unlimited power over other people. And then we have no choice but to obey their every command unless we want to be tortured or killed." Her voice is thick with disgust, as it should be.It ma

    Jaxon's POV"The truth, Mel." I remind her."No," she whimpers. “No, I don't hate you."The moment she speaks the truth, the pain fades, and her body relaxes. She curls into a ball on the bed, her breathing heavy as if she’s just run a marathon. I hear her heart thrashing against her ribcage, its frantic beat calming with each passing second.I’m relieved she’s no longer in pain, but I feel like shit now for being the one to cause it. I brush the single tear away using my thumb. Even though the contact lasts for only a second, the tingles are intense. "It's okay baby girl, it's over," I coo softly.Surprisingly, she grabs my hand as I pull away and brings it back to her cheek. I start stroking her soft skin, the smoothness of it soothing me as much as it does her.Her eyes close, like she's savoring my touch. "That was literally the worst pain I've ever felt, and it just radiated all over my body." When she opens her eyes again, they are filled with horror. "Is this really what most Al

    Mel’s POVWe all gather in the huge meeting room. The wooden table goes from one end of the room to the next, with a long row of chairs on both sides. Jaxon sits at the head, Ameer and I at his left and right. The other chairs are filled with pack members of various ranks, including Bonnie and Dominic.I chew on my bottom lip, hoping that no one smells Jaxon on me. I walked past Talia earlier on the way to the bathroom, and she just sneered at me. I'm hoping she doesn't spread around any gossip, but knowing her, the entire pack will have a more twisted opinion of me by the end of the day. It doesn't matter though, just because his smell is on me doesn't prove that anything happened between us. We could have just been training or something...all night until 6am.Jaxon clears his throat loudly, demanding the room's full attention. "As the new Alpha, I want to make some changes around here," He stands up and begins pacing around the room. "First off, Omegas will end the day after dinner a

    Mel's POVWe pull up to Elinda's house. I don’t know Jaxon’s real reason for tagging along, but his excuse is that he hasn't seen his mom since the ceremony. I feel like he’s keeping an eye on me, which is annoying because I don’t need a babysitter. Dad is locked up, hopefully not getting out any time soon, and I can handle this news to my sister by myself."Are you okay?" Jaxon asks, pulling open the car door for me."No,” I finally admit, my voice weaker than I intended. “But I have to rip off the Band-Aid, right?"He gives me a reassuring smile. "It will be okay.""Thanks." But his words are just that—words. There's no truth behind them. Nothing is fucking okay. Who knows how Moon is going to take this. What if she hates me for abandoning her the past week? Or she resents me for telling her about Mom? What if she never wants to see me again?Dread washes over me like a suffocating wave as I walk past him and knock on the front door. It doesn’t take long for Elinda to open it, her ey

    Jaxon’s POVMelanie slept through dinner, so I put a plate in the microwave for her to eat later. We were supposed to go back to the pack house, but since she's still asleep, we'll just leave in the morning.I bring Mom a cup of tea and sit across from her on the couch. She's eyeing me, like she's contemplating asking me something. "What is it, Mom?" I ask quietly.She purses her lips, averting her gaze to the window. "Did she sleep with you to get that rank?"My jaw tenses. "What? You think she would do that?” Five seconds ago, she was consoling the girl, now she's accusing her of being a slut. Unbelievable."I don't know what to think, Jaxon," she snaps, raising her voice." Your scent is all over her, and not even Alpha Damon knew you were picking her as your Beta until the ceremony. He’s been too good to you to betray him for some ass, Jaxon. You're smarter than that. I know I raised you better!"I can feel heat radiating through my body as Shadow growls in my head. Thankfully, both

Since Zion is safely sleeping in the bassinet, I decide to walk around the building searching for the source of my anxiety. As I grab a flask of sparkling cider from one of the Omegas, I hear a familiar voice behind me. "Luna Melanie, it's nice to see you again," he rumbles, snapping me from my thoughts. It's Alpha Raeden with his mate at his side. "This is my Luna, Caroline."I smile warmly at her. "It's a pleasure to meet you.""Likewise. Your son is so beautiful, I'm still hoping that one day we'll be able to have a baby.""Thank you, and I hope you can too!"Raeden's eyes hold a quiet sadness, a reflection of the pain he must have felt w

    Mel's POVJudging by his erection, I assume he's excited about this confrontation. Maybe this was intentional, like he wanted to lure us out.There's a smug grin on his face as he gets closer, his yellow eyes twinkling with amusement."Take one more step and I won't hesitate to kill you," I warn callously. Nina flashes in my eyes, but that doesn't seem to deter him.He roars with laughter. "Aww, what are you going to do? I bet you can't even fight your own battles, huh Princess? Got those two men to be your body guards while you pretend to be the big bitch in charge?" he taunts.He couldn't be more wrong. Unlike Ayla, I can fight my own battles. They're just here for backup. But I don't need to prove shit to him.The other rogues are all gathered silently watching the show. They obviously don't want to get involved, or simply not stupid enough to do so.The rogues' leader narrows his brown eyes in recognition."Wait, aren't you that bitch that killed Alpha Kellan?

"Sorry baby girl, you told not to take it easy on you unless I don't want to touch you for the rest of your pregnancy." He leans down to my ear. "Two months without that beautiful, tight pussy would kill me."I shudder at his words, pleasurable shivers going up my spine. His grin widens at the smell of my arousal. "Although, I'm sure you would've given in before the day was over."I scoff. "No, I wouldn't have."He raises his hands in surrender and takes a step back.

The sound of our bodies clashing together echoes throughout the cave and it's hot as fuck. With one hand tightly gripping her waist, I close my other around her throat. I pull away from her mouth and slow down my pace to look at her.

My eyes quickly adjust to the lack of light, and I can practically feel the heat rolling off my mate from the other end of the cave. With my head hanging low and teeth bared, I close in on her like a predator about to pounce on its prey. Her eyes dart around, searching for an escape, but she quickly realizes there's no way out. As we both shift, I close the gap between us. She kneels, gazing up at me in the dark. A smirk forms on my face as I say, "Looks like you lost, baby girl. Better luck next time."Her eyes trail down my body until she reaches my throbbing erection. "Pity. Thought I could've gotten you a little more worked up first." Her tongue darts out to lick her lips.

Ayla stammers, still in shock."In a dream, the Moon Goddess granted me the Eternalbane dagger,” Dusk explains. “I never expected to use it, but she revealed the growing darkness within your heart. I was too blinded by love to believe it. It wasn't until Jaxon uncovered your role in my mate's death and you erased his memories, I knew that it was time. I would never let you do to Melanie what you did to me!"My mouth drops open. When did she erase Jaxon's memories, and how did I not notice?He quickly helps Rubeus to his feet. "You okay?"He winces, watching Ayla whither on the ground in agony. "I'll be fine. I thought she couldn't die?""The dagger only ended her immortality. Melanie will be the one to finish her off."
