Mel's POV

Jaxon's expression softens. "Is that what you were really worried about, baby girl?"

I look down in my lap. "I don't know, I'm just trying to figure out why you lied to me," I admit quietly.

"Yeah, that's why I can't stay hard," he mumbles to himself. He turns towards me and grabs my hands in his, gazing into my eyes intensely. "I'm sorry for lying to you."

He seems sincere, like he had no other choice. But why? I'm his Beta, he should be able to tell me anything. "What's going on, Jaxon?"

"Would you believe me if I told you it's necessary that I don't tell you?" He looks torn as he chooses his words carefully. "Do you trust me enough not to pry and wait until it's the right time?"

My mouth opens and closes like a fish out of water, but I can't find any words. Is that why he lost his erection? He actually feels bad about it?

I search his guilt-ridden eyes for answers but find none. Whatever he can't speak of, he has sealed it away and thrown away the key.

"I...I trust you,"

    Jaxon’s POVIt's the end of the week and exactly seven days until the Mating Ball. Today, Melanie and I are making cuts. Since it's the first week of training, we only get rid of recruits who are dead weight with no chance in hell of making it. I'm hoping I can add Malcom Grey to that list.I walk around with a clipboard, looking at Melanie's notes of each warrior as they pair up and spar. Some of them actually impress me and I can see others still struggling, but according to Mel, they have made improvements from the beginning of the week. Bliss decided to come after all, and I can already tell she's going to be a great warrior.The only person with consistent negative remarks is Jeremy Davis. Beside his name it says:-Big Asshole-Slow-Sloppy-Arrogant-Future serial killer? I chuckle to myself. She obviously hates his guts, but I know she wouldn't get rid of him for personal reasons. I look over at her, grimacing as I see her chatting with Malvin, Marcus...whatever the fuck his na

    Jaxon's POVshut my eyes tight as I struggle to suppress him. Shadow, enough. He's not worth our time. He's challenging us, his Alpha. Put him in his place. Show him how strong we are. How fast we can destroy him! Memories of Alpha Damon's brutality flash in my mind. He killed so many wolves right in front of me due to not being able to control his temper. Or maybe it was because he couldn't control his wolf. Maybe he didn't want to.All I know is that I won't be like him. Not now. Not ever.However, Shadow is persistent in making sure Jeremy pays for his disrespect. He rips through my skin before I can stop him and stalks towards the frightened teenager now scurrying away on the floor. It's like I'm trapped in a cage in my own mind. It's terrifying because Shadow and I are usually in sync, but since becoming Alpha, we haven't been on the same page.You're wrong, Jaxon. Admit it. You want this as much as I do. They don't respect us as their Alpha, so we must force them to! He's...ri

    Jaxon's POVWe quickly find some new clothes in the supply closet and throw them on. As we walk towards the exit, Malcom chases after Melanie. It seems he has been waiting for her. "Yo Mellie, do you think you'll be free tonight?"I'm still facing the door as I stop to listen to their conversation. I just tried to kill him. He hasn't learned his lesson yet?Take a fucking hint, she's mine! Melanie hums. "I actually think I have paperwork-"Liar."Melanie." Their heads snap in my direction. "I can finish the reports. Go ahead and go on your date."I keep my expression blank.Her eyes flash golden, but she instantly seems to get her wolf under control. "But I put them in a certain order..." she trails off, not knowing another excuse to come up with.I wave dismissively. "I'm sure Ameer and I can figure it out. Enjoy your night."She scowls at me before turning to him. "I guess I'm free tonight then," she says with a smile I know for sure is fake.He grins. "Cool. I'll pick you up around

    Jaxon's POVAs I stand in the kitchen discussing the dinner menu with Bonnie, Melanie comes downstairs. She's wearing a red dress that hugs every single one of her curves. Her medium-length hair lay in soft curls around her shoulders with a single one hanging over the right side of her forehead. She looks so fucking sexy. She shouldn't be dressed like this going out with another man, but this is what I wanted, right?"You look beautiful," I breathe, looking her up and down.Heat seeps into her cheeks. "Thanks," she mumbles. Her expression turns serious. "Why are you okay with this?"That's a good ass question. There are many reasons, but I let one honest answer fall out of my mouth."The Mating Ball is in a week. In case you do end up keeping your mate-""I won't," she cut in.My jaw tenses, but I continue. "But if you do, I think you should experience everything you want to before then. You obviously like this guy, go out with him."She's silent for a moment like she's contemplating s

    Jaxon's POVI suck her juices off my fingers as I walk over to answer the door. Malcom is dressed in a black suit with his eyes bright with excitement. He looks me in the eye for the first time today. "Good evening, Alpha. Is Melanie ready?"I nod. "I think I saw her somewhere around here."He frowns, most likely smelling her fresh scent on me. "Oh well, I'll just mind-link her that I'm here."Once his amber eyes return to normal, I decide I want to continue conversing with him. Besides the fact that she is beautiful and amazing in every way, why is he so interested in Melanie?I tilt my head to the side, eyeing the yellow tulips in his hand. "You know, if there is a next time, she won't even admit she likes flowers, but she secretly loves sunflowers and roses."His jaw twitches. "Well, when the next time comes, I'll take that into consideration."I smell fear exuding from him as Shadow surges forward. I would consider letting him kill him, but I would be losing one of our best recruit

    Mel’s POV"So, where are we going?" I ask, gazing out the window. We have been driving for at least thirty minutes now and our surroundings have become unfamiliar. If I didn't know any better, I would think he's attempting to kidnap me. I can only imagine Jaxon's wrath if that were the case."Have you never been outside pack lands?" Malcom asks astonishingly. It almost sounds like he's making fun of me, but I could just be extra defensive due to the topic.I can't help but grind my teeth together anyway. "No. Being the Alpha's daughter, I wasn't allowed to in order to prevent other packs from kidnapping and using me for ransom.""Oh, so he wasn't a complete monster. That means he cared at least a little bit, right?" he mumbles.Alpha Damon care about me? Yeah right. I scoff. "More like cared about not losing any of his money or territory."We finally pull up at a large, fancy building. Through the windows, I can see people dining. I immediately notice that majority of them have scents

    Mel's POV"Has there never been an accident?" I inquire."I've heard maybe once or twice, but the Alpha Council came and cleaned it up. Wiped all of the humans memories that were here. That's why we try to maintain a low-stress environment."I'm surprised he knows who the Council are, but his dad was a higher-ranked wolf after all.We eat in silence for a while, listening to the live jazz music being played on the stage. The food tastes amazing, but I expect nothing less after peeping the prices on the menu. I doubt Malcom is even going to pay since his father is the owner. Who knows how many girls he has brought here, and there's no doubt he'll be expecting this date to lead somewhere else. I've already made up my mind though, I'm not having sex with anyone else but Jaxon...at least not until our time together is up."Miller told me your favorite flowers are roses and sunflowers. Just to make sure he just wasn't fucking with me, is that true?"My eyes widen. "Wow, I guess that is true

I can't shake the feeling that someone's here that shouldn't be, but I'm not picking up any dark energy.When the line finally ends, Jaxon goes to mingle with the other Alphas. 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.

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." There's a murderous intensity on his face as he hands me the blade. "Kill her and make it painful."Jaxon's fingers press against my waist, a gentle squeeze before he reluctantly releases his hold.
