Chapter 5

Jaxon’s POV

“Ahh, Jaxon,” Kaylee screams as I bury myself inside of her. She digs her nails into my back, whimpering as I pound into her mercilessly.

Melanie, I moan in my head. I imagine her perfect body wrapped around mine. Her beautiful, violet eyes gazing up at me as I make her see Goddess. Her soft, plump lips parting as she screams my name to the heavens.

I can’t help but think about my encounter with her at the diner. No matter how much she claims to hate me, she wanted me. I could smell how soaked she was when I pinned her against the wall.

As I feel my balls start to tighten, I pull out and stroke my dick above Kaylee’s tanned stomach until the hot liquid shoots out. She looks up at me with hooded, satisfied eyes. “Wow Jaxon, that was amazing,” she whispers.

“Yeah,” I mumble, getting up from the bed, and tossing Kaylee’s clothes on the rumpled sheets. I quickly pull on a gray T-shirt and navy-blue jeans, while she continues to lay there naked.

“Jaxon, you don’t want to cuddle?” she asks with a pout, her eyes following my movements.

I shake my head. “No. I have to go to the Academy today.”

She sits up, clapping her hands together excitedly. “Oh yeah, tonight Alpha Damon is announcing that you’re going to be Alpha, right?”

I nod. The final day at the Academy is usually low-key. We won’t be doing much but a bit of training and saying our goodbyes to one another. But tonight is the big reveal. Alpha Damon will announce to the entire pack that he’s picking me over his own daughter to be the next Alpha. The thought makes my stomach twist. How will Melanie react? Will she make a big scene in front of everyone?

Ever since we were kids, I’ve had a crush on her, but her dad fucked that up by pitting us against each other. He knew that she wanted the title, and honestly, she deserves it. The Alpha blood running through her veins makes her a little firecracker. She’s fast, strong, and a good leader when she isn’t being too cocky.

It’s extremely sexy watching her train. She can take down a full-grown man without even breaking a sweat. Even I’ve been on the receiving end of her strength. Whenever I went easy on her, she’d get pissed and force me to redo the fight, even if that meant holding her down until she tapped out. It’s one of the things I admire most about her: she doesn’t half-ass anything.

I drop Kaylee off at her parents’ house before heading to the Academy, my mind occupied with thoughts of Melanie. As I turn into the parking lot, I can’t help but smirk when I see her red 2018 Honda Accord sitting in the front row, her usual spot. She is always at least thirty minutes early to warm up before everyone else.

I park my car next to hers and walk inside. As I walk into the training hall, I catch her in action, mind-combat with a training dummy. She’s wearing a black sports bra and shorts that make her toned figure look so good. I try not to stare at her perfectly round ass as I walk past.

She crouches down to attack the dummy again. Her movements are fluid, but I notice a slight misstep in her form. If she were fighting a real opponent, she could get hurt or worse…killed. I could just keep walking and mind my own business, but I’m the future Alpha. I should be helping my warriors strive to be the best, right?

 I quietly approach her from behind, getting a whiff of rose and vanilla. My wolf, Shadow, purrs at the familiar fragrance. When I get close enough, I place my hands gently on her hips, intending to correct her stance.

“You need to work on your form,” I suggest softly. But as soon as I touch her, she jumps back as if my hands are on fire. The contact sends tingles shooting up my arm, but I don’t know if it’s just me or if she could feel it too.
