Chapter 80. When Your Mask Falls
Last Updated:
2024-03-22 12:00:28Lola walked upstairs without looking at anyone or anything that she passed. Jax was outside still enjoying the party thrown in his honor and everyone was congratulating him on this new journey and elevated status. The smell of alcohol and testosterone filled every inch of the mansion and made her nauseous as it seeped up her nose.
She slammed the door behind her and was hit with the silence in the empty room. It was serene, beautiful, and quiet; the complete opposite of the madness going on outside.
A knock on the door made her fall into the room but she held her breath in hopes that maybe the person would leave.
Another knock echoed, slower this time and Lola pressed herself back against the bed.
“You can hold your breath all you want but you can't quiet your heartbeat,”

Lola walked past the swaying gowns, the spilling champagne, and the crystal that clinked in the air as they cheered for this happy occasion.Some had shifted into wolves and were roaming around the ground knowing that they were safe here, it was secluded away from the town and its human inhabitants, and the gate guard wouldn’t let anyone in tonight.Lola watched as the wind blew through their furr and they ran freely with not a care in the world and let their wolves live out their energy- jumping in the air and running, as fast as they could, through the forest and back.“Wow,” Melissa said beside her as they gawked from the hill.Lola turned, her eyes fell in worry and she looked around for Ed.“Where is he, what happened?” she asked.Melissa grabbed her arm and calmed her nerves with a soft smile.“He went home but he’s not leaving anymore. He’s staying right here, with me,” She smiled.Lola laughed, even if she couldn’t be happy for herself, she could certainly be happy for her bes

The Title ceremony was over and Jax was now officially Alpha of the Shadow Pack. The next several days went by in a daze with many things returning to normal and the town preparing for the next big event.Fall decorations were being put aside to make room for the Christmas festivities that would soon commence. In Wild Cliff Christmas was somewhat of a religiously celebrated holiday- it started on November 20th and continued until the new year. November 20th had been a celebration marker for as long as they could remember. It began hundreds of years ago when the first settlers put up the tree in the center of town by the roundabout to celebrate the prosperous future they had on this new land. It was said that witches hexed the properties to make the land healthy and the homes unshakeable- how much of it that is truth is unknown but the residents of Wild Cliff do love to tell the stories.Lola was in town and helped the university with removing pumpkins, candles, lights, and ornaments t

It was buzzing inside the mansion when Lola arrived. She listened in to hear if maybe Jax was close by but there were too many voices overlapping and she couldn't separate them to find his.She walked to the study thinking that’s where he had to be and she passed many warriors on the way, all of them eyeing her with judgment as she tried to hold her head high and not shrink under their glares.Lola refused to let it show just how intimidated she was but it ate her up inside every day and more so now that she kept comparing herself to Lavina.Down the corridor, she began to hear his voice. It was loud and demanding but was he talking to himself? She didn’t hear anyone else.She walked down and opened the door only to see him sitting behind the desk, slumped in the chair with his eyes closed and the phone pressed to his ear.Jax finished the phone call and dropped his hand on the desk. She contemplated speaking up but he seemed so tired and in no mood to talk. Perhaps it was better if s

The late autumn sun shone in through the window and lit up the room.It didn’t happen often in Wild Cliff that you were woken up by the sun but it seemed the perfect metaphor for the events of their lives, or at least Lola thought.She turned in bed with a smile and patted the empty side next to her.That side of the bed had been made and was cold.When did Jax leave?She got up and tied the robe around her before walking out with a yawn.The smell of a sugary breakfast made her stomach growl and the pleasure-filled pain in her sore bones reminded her of last night. Though it was different from their earlier times, this had been a rollercoaster of pleasure and heat and Jax claimed her body like his life depended on it…several times.Lola covered her lips with her fingers when a smile threatened to spread.She walked down to find Jax with his bags packed by his feet and his father dressed in a grey wool coat and a passport in hand.“I didn’t know we were leaving now, I'll pack,” Lola s

Lola rubbed her temples when it felt like a block of bricks came flying at her. The information Ash had instilled and quizzed her on was something these pack members learned from the day they were born. It was supernatural laws, werewolf laws, human laws, and everything that had anything to do with pack borders, guards, and protocol in case of war or threat and these were just the basics.“Look chipper, we’re barely halfway through.” He cast the thick book of laws down on the table and the sound had Lola jumping in the chair. She grabbed the handles and glared fiercely at the inconvenience standing in front of her.Ash crossed his arms and raised a brow.“You’re cute when you’re angry, do you know that?”Taken aback Lola shrunk in the chair and tried to look away.“What else do we have to go through?” She asked.He noticed her body shifting uncomfortably and her reluctance to look at him, he smirked and continued walking around the desk.He dragged his ring across the surface and rasp

They stood in the study and Nash was still in a trance with his fingers tightening around Lola’s hand. Ash kept a close look on them both, making sure that nothing was to happen but even he saw the change on Nash’s face.“Coven?” Lola asked and looked at Ash who clenched his jaw with a deep scowl directed at Nash.He let go of her hand in a swift pull and turned his hand over as if to look after a burn or a mark of pain but there was nothing on his skin.Lola looked at her hand. Had she hurt him in some way for him to pull back like that?She wanted to step back but caught herself and decided against it. One thing Nash was right about was the ways of leadership and she needed to start gaining their respect.Without answering with words Nash raised his hand and gently pulled his fingers in towards the palm of his hand. The windows behind the desk opened- slowly with a loud chiseling sound- and a gust of wind blew in and circled Lola’s head.It was as though the wind danced around her b

Three days had passed since Jax left for New York- Lola officially met Nash and he dumped the news of her marital secrets. Three days of mind-numbing thoughts and fears confined Lola to her bed- because what could she do until he was back?She lay awake staring at the ceiling. During these days she hadn't heard from Melissa who was probably busy with Ed and Lola didn't want to bother her with this newest bit of supernatural drama; Melissa deserved a few days off, even if she would hate her for it. She realized that the conversation she wanted to have with Jax when he returned would most likely not sit well.Jax had said since day one how important her safety was and she didn't want the first thing they did when he got back to be a fight. With furrowed brows and a deep wrinkle forming above her nose, she decided to plan something for his arrival.Lola darted out of bed and looked around the room- she was in the guest room and it wasn't all that romantic but surely there was something

The candles flickered around them reminding her of the plans she’d made to, for the first time, do something romantic for the man she’d married. All the while he was downstairs, working on god knew what but here she stood with files in hand that told her much more than she wanted to know. Jax had been in New York, yes, but not alone.Spotted going into the Ritz and out the next morning- at restaurants and cafes, museums and parks- was Jax and Lavina. The pictures were time-stamped, they looked to have been taken with a long-range camera by someone hidden in a car or behind a bush and why would they do that?That smile she saw on Jax’s face made her shrink.He had his arm hooked in Lavina’s when they walked and in the rain, he held an umbrella over her head. In one picture they were dressed up, she wore a gown and pearls and he had on a suit.“Isn’t he handsome?” She said, her voice broken and meek.Ash watched her shrink and succumb to pain and heartache. It was like he could see it

“Get your butt in here right now, young lady!” Lola scolded while running around with a towel chasing her two-year-old daughter who was running down the hallways butt naked. With her arms swinging in the air and laughing menacingly, the water traced her steps on the carpets, and she headed towards the stairs. Just before reaching the end of the hallway, she was lifted into the air by two large arms and flown around like an airplane. “Daddy!” “My darling Ophelia,” he said and lowered her gently. He tickled her nose and hugged her tight when Lola came to a stop with the towel. “That little girl is definitely wolf,” Lola panted. She halted to a stop and raised a brow when she took in Jax’s appearance. “Daddy indeed,” Lola purred when she watched her husband’s bare upper body as he stood sweating after his workout with the warriors. “She could be a Doe,” Jax said and looked into his daughters’ eyes. “She has your big, beautiful eyes,” he remarked. Lola giggled and cupped Jax’s che

They were back at the mansion and had constructed a plan on the way. The danger was still not altogether eliminated, not all enemies had been neutralized and they were those on the inside still aiming to break Jax and Lola apart.Jax and Ash walked into the mansion with Lola keeping her distance behind them. She turned away from them and hid where they wouldn't see her until it was time. Jax had called for a meeting on the way and told his parents and Lavina to meet him in the study. Nobody had suspected a thing, they were all just glad to hear that he was alright and their Alpha and son were returning home. The Blackwood boys entered the office and let the door fall to a near close. “It is so good to see you again, darling,” Mrs. Blackwood gleamed.Lavina ran up and wrapped her arms around him. The wide smile on her face and the wrinkles on her eyes deepened as relief washed over her. “I was so worried I almost went after you myself but Lola insisted she had it covered,” she said

Lucien clapped his hands, starting slow as the sound echoed in the room before he picked up the speed and laughed menacingly. He slammed his fist in the air and blew into his hands in celebration.“I have played this in my mind for months, going over what it would be like to have you all here and to tell you the things I knew but now that it is happening, holy shit, there is not a feeling like it.” He licked his lips and wiped the sweat from his face.He used his speed and kneeled next to Lola in a second. She fell back and tried to widen the distance between them by crawling backward but Lucien circled his fingers around her ankle and pulled her in with a rough grip. He gestured with his hand towards Jax and said through a deep smirk, “How I have been waiting for this. Be honest now, which do you prefer- getting fucked by a werewolf-” he grabbed her chin and forced her head back, “-or a vampire?” He asked. Jax’s mouth fell open and his eyes glistened as though all the pain came rus

Ash’s eyes glowed as his wolf stepped up, his canines extended and his growl shook the walls of the house when he pulled the knife out of his side and he flung it at his cousin's hands. They all turned their heads and watched as the knife cut through the air and went clean through the chains that bound Jax's hands. Jax fell into a pool of his blood, his heart barely beating and his body weakened from the poison in his wounds.“What the fuck?” One of the vampires spat and tried to overrun Ash. Ash grabbed the vampire's arm and spared no time as he ripped his head clean of his body and through against one of the windows, shattering the glass.“Let go of her.” He growled and walked towards Lucien. Whatever they had laced the blade with was eating at his insides, burning his flesh like acid but Ash refused to fall, not until he knew that she was safe.Lucien pulled out his fangs and lifted his head, looking toward the ceiling in a euphoric high.Three of his men jumped on Ash who was alre

They went to sleep not long after their talk and Ash slept on top of the covers. He watched Lola drift off into slumber and lay awake completing his choices.His cousin had been taken and he was making moves on his girl. Though he knew what he wanted, he now began to regret the many decisions he’d made that had led him this far. He looked at her lips slightly parted in her sleep and her eyes softly closed still, the faint freckles on her nose and her thick hair landing over her shoulder.She was a special girl, loved by many and desired by more. Perhaps it was the curse of being the Doe or maybe it was just her heart that sparked interest once she trusted people enough to show it to them. Regardless of the reasons, Ash realized now that his fighting was futile because her heart was not his to win. He should've been grateful to have felt her love, the one she gave him when she chose to trust him. The love was addictive, at first taste he wanted more, and he wanted what his cousin had.
The Alphas And Their Human Girl Chapter 120. Fire And Ice
They drove up to the Inn though it was further away from the street than advertised and they circled a sharp turn that led up a narrow path.As they arrived at a red neon sign saying ’open’ and a lady sitting with headphones on behind the desk inside they looked at each other, a lingering silence that was questioning just how good of an idea it was to go in. The rain poured around them. Drops on the roof of the car began to sound like firecrackers went off in a tunnel.Ash gave Lola his jacket to hold over her head and they shared a look before they ran from the car and slammed open the door as they tumbled inside.The lady looked up, slowly and gently as though a couple of strangers hadn't just tumbled into her hallway. She slowly leaned to the side to look past them and watch the pour outside of the Inn.“You kids don’t listen to the news, do ya?” She laughed.She wiggled her finger in front of Lola and pointed to the den.“There are towels in there, go grab yourselves some and I'll

They were back in the mansion. Ash had gathered the Alpha's warriors and filled them in on the situation. One of the cleaners had turned on the radio and Lola heard on the news that extreme weather was to be expected as she walked down after having changed clothes. Extreme rainfall was to occur during the night and the following days in and around town.She had the keys to her car and a small bag with toiletries.Ash and the warriors came out of the office and saw Lola standing at the entrance. His shoulders rose in a predatory bow as he stalked towards her.“Where do you think you’re going?” He asked. “To find Jax. Whatever he and I are, it’s my fault that he’s been taken. I'm going to bring him home,”Ash was in front of her before she could blink and ripped the keys from her hand.“The hell you are.” He put the keys in his pocket and grabbed her wrists when she tried to get them back. “It’s my fault that he was taken, he was protecting ME!” “And I will get him back!” He growled
The Alphas And Their Human Girl Chapter 118. Do You See Me Now?
She froze, time stilled around them and that picture would now be etched in her mind forever as it was all she saw wherever she looked.Nobody moved, she heard faint gasps and a low growl behind her but she couldn't turn around.For Lola, it felt as though hours passed without either Jax or Lavina moving but when a hand weighed down on her shoulder and forced her to turn she noticed everything moving a lot faster and people not having noticed what happened.She looked over her shoulder at Jax and Lavina and saw that they stood apart from each other, Lavina was by the table and Jax wiped his thumb over his lips and turned his head, his eyes locked with Lola’s, and his hand fell to his side. “Lola,” Ash said and tried to get her attention.Melissa had her arm hooked in Ed’s and watched with a glimmer in her eyes as her worst fear came true.But at that moment Lola couldn't breathe, she couldn't hear what anyone said and needed to get away from all of the people that surrounded her.On

“She did an amazing job,” Lola said, trying to break the thick ice coating when they were alone.“She did.” He said huskily and looked down at her. His gaze burned into her skin, his eyes glistened as they scanned her as they had many times before and his tongue slid over his lips.They stood staring into each other's eyes and Lola noticed the life in Jax’s eyes had dimmed. It wasn't what she looked into before, he seemed hardened and cold. Not just towards her but in general.Lola didn't know the first thing about being an Alpha but she was starting to realize that perhaps it entailed your persona shifting from tough but fair to cold and hard.Was it Alphas or just Jax?There didn't seem to be any in-between.“You wanted to talk.” He said.Taken aback by the hurry in his tone she realized he wanted to leave.“We haven’t talked since that night in the guest room. You slept in my bed, told me to be patient with you and then I don't hear from you for weeks.” Jax’s brows furrow and a ch
