She is his beta Chapter 18
Alaska's excited words are enough to drag Jaxson out of his stupor. He has been sleeping a lot more peacefully now that Alaska rarely has nightmares anymore. There was one stage where he was waking up at the slightest sound, desperate to get to her and soothe her before it got so bad that it would take more than a day to recover. As she slept better, he, of course, did the same, which was fine until this point. Now he wishes he had that level of awareness once again.He takes in the maroon dishevelled wig that is sitting crooked on her head, her cheeks are red from the effort exerted, her eyes are surrounded by a thick layer of makeup which is now far from perfect, but it just makes her wild eyes look more vivid.What is more striking than Alaska's appearance is the large body which is hanging over her shoulder. He may not be able to see Hayden’s face, but he knows instantly who the man is, that scent, the body shape and just his own knowledge comes together to see the situation as it

"Have you seen Hayden?" Valen sits in his study at the summer pack rubbing his forehead to try and ease the headache. It is not unlike Hayden to disappear for days on end. Sometimes, even for weeks. He has been busy chasing his own pleasure more than anything else, he hardly takes his position as alpha seriously. It has only been a couple of days but there are some inconsistencies which don’t usually occur. Hence, why Valen’s voice is neither as anxious nor relaxed as it maybe should be. While Hayden is one for escaping his responsibilities, he is also bordering on a phone addiction, so usually a message will at least go through as read, but now there is no indication that his messages or calls are getting through at all. He has tried on a few different platforms but still there is nothing.Valen tries not to push his most useless son too much as he still enjoys being in the position of power, but Hayden really needs to start stepping up, this irresponsibility is starting to wear rat

Draven and Trip don’t talk on the way to the venue. Trip is used to Draven’s way of operation. Between him and his three brothers, he drew the short straw to be placed with Draven. Of course, it wasn’t such a lottery, they themselves were thankful to be able to be betas in their own right which they never knew was possible growing up, so when the reject of the family was the one that was able to take such a role it was a double blow. When they were deciding between themselves who would go where, Trip was considered the best option to be able to get along with the man who has the ice-cold aura and dry personality.It is just lucky that Trip also admires Draven’s ability to stand out on his own within the family like that, especially when he was tied in birth to Hayden.The two walk one in front of the other into the closed night club without caring about such things as open hours or even common courtesy. Most nightclubs in the area come under the seasons banner in some way and this one

Draven sends everyone out of the security room except Trip, who still hasn’t offered a word of help. For now there is nothing to say. The evidence is there but all it shows is that this place is a dead end. The manager and employees don't argue even though Draven technically has no right to be within such a space. While the nightclub falls under the season's banner, it is not under the autumn pack, he has no authority, yet no one has the guts to argue the point, they value their lives too much.Just being in the same room as him is suffocating enough and they are glad to get the freedom."Trip, copy all that footage and we will review it later"Trip isn’t very knowledgeable at computers, but at least knows that much. Draven picks up his own phone and calls his father."Was there any purchases that could help locate him?"Valen scrambles to log onto the banking app."Sorry I wasn’t set to review it until tomorrow…"Draven swallows down the insults that would be spewed at everyone else i

Jax stares at her back for a moment as she walks toward her room, holding himself back from running to her and holding her. He has been putting even more effort into the training, but even with the exhaustion that comes from giving it his all, it doesn’t stop his mind running wild.The relationship in his mind is evolving so fast, but he is not sure it is the same for her, from pretending to be her boyfriend at the work function to acting like a couple in the airport. It is all getting harder. Walking through the airport like a real couple, the wigs didn’t matter, it was still her, it was still her scent, her warmth, it didn’t even matter that they were playing others, that they were hiding their faces from the camera, all that mattered was having a very happy Alaska so close to him, having her scent around him, her gentle touches.A true sense of what it would be like to have the impossible, to actually be with her.He knows that he is blowing all of it out of proportion as she is jus

Alaska sits in the exact center of a fixed bench on the side of the road, her arms spread along the either side of the timber backrest, her face angled up to the sky, her eyes pressed shut and a slight smile on her face as the sunlight soaks into her skin. She hasn’t felt like this in a long time, every moment has been spent working. So to even take a minute to just enjoy life is so incredibly precious. Now that she is in the process of making those pay, there is a weight lifted off her. The guilt at even showing a smile is decreasing, she has spent the whole morning attacking the businesses under the seasons banner, concentrating most of her efforts on the autumn pack, which, of course, is the easiest as she had intimate knowledge of the businesses before they were taken and they have really changed very little in that time, extras added and wealth added due to Draven's ruthless mind, but nothing that Alaska cannot unravel.She hasn’t attacked them so obviously until now, because she

Jax watches Alaska closely. For a moment he isn’t sure if there is actually danger lurking, because her expression is somewhat strange, maybe it is just more forced than usual, but he can’t feel another wolf around and if there was something that urgent he knows she would have linked him."Jax who is this?"Jax hears the question, not even knowing who asked it and not even wanting to take his eyes off Alaska for a second in order to confirm. It doesn’t matter anyway, just as their faces swirl into one, they all have the same voice. He answers the question without directing it at anyone in particular."This is Alaska… My best friend"Jax moves through the crowd of girls easily, unlike their usual state where they can’t get enough, they are shocked in place, he doesn’t notice as he wraps an arm around Alaska’s shoulder and pulls her close to him, planting a large kiss on her forehead.Even a blind man could see that there is something more than just a best friend relationship.

Draven sits in his office, his mind halfway between the disappearance of Hayden and the mess in the businesses. Something about Hayden’s disappearance just isn’t sitting right, is he neglectful, yes, irresponsible, most definitely, selfish, no doubt. But he isn’t usually so lax on contact, even if it is just to rub it in Draven’s face? Never.Not that Draven would care in the slightest. Personally, he can’t think of anything worse than finding his mate, but his disinterest has never stopped Hayden before.Draven has little interest in anything and yet Hayden still finds a way to make everything a competition. It may be a way of including Draven in some sense of normalcy, whatever it is, it is the way Hayden has always been.

Jax has a way of saying something so self-depreciating in such a light and airy way it is hard to take it as seriously as it should be taken. Alaska barks out a laugh, her hip moving quickly to hit Jax playfully. At the same time the tension leaves her body completely. Of all the things that she expected him to say, it definitely wasn't that, and it makes what was the start of a really tough conversation a whole lot easier. This is Jax, the same person she has known her entire life, she doesn't need to make it so strange. "Haha what?…" Once Alaska focuses on the whole sentence and not just the amusement at the end, her heart strains for him. She hasn't really heard him speak about himself in such a way, and she is not sure whether he is making a joke of it or he actually believes it, it is hard for her to think that he could think so badly of himself when there is no one in this world that she thinks more highly of. "...You have a whole lot to offer. Never sell yourself short like

"What can I do for you Trip?""Draven just wanted to meet to discuss some things at the club tomorrow night"Jax just shrugs at Alaska with a questioning look. Alaska’s shock has faded completely, and her razor-sharp mind is working quickly. It makes sense that Draven would suspect them, and maybe he came to the conclusion much quicker than she gave him credit for, but the request doesn’t sound much like a summons and if Draven really knew the truth it wouldn’t be an exploratory meeting, they would be hunted and killed much the same as the rogues that surround them. Alaska just nods, the plan was always bound to change, while she has done her best to anticipate her adversary there is always going to be some discrepancy."What time would he like us?""Shall we say ten?""We will be there""Umm Jax?""Yes?""I am sorry to hear about Torin"Alaska’s eyes which were bright and filled with excitement, dull significantly. Jax scowls, he has not even spoken to Trip since the undertaking, jus

Draven draws in a deep shuddering breath as his excitement peaks, saliva drips off his large teeth, his canines itch in his jaw, as desperate as he is for that kill. He feels every stick and every stone under his large paws. Every single kill is like this, every detail, which would be mundane in any other circumstance is stored in his memory, a trophy of sorts as he cannot risk having any physical trophies that could link him back to this. His breath is so loud that it is the only thing that gives away his otherwise stealthy approach. It doesn't matter anyway, he is too fit, his body a precision killing machine, while his adversary is gangly, malnourished, untrained and unorganized. They make so many mistakes in order to protect their own life, bumping and hitting into each other in an effort to get away, slowing their own escape as well as offering up others as the first sacrificed. The slowest and the smallest of the group, the one that got shoved to the side by numerous other s
