Xander

Was my brother threatening our father?

My eyes flash between them as they glare at one another. Father was stuck in his ways, just as Jaxon was stuck in his.

“What do you want?” My question wasn’t aimed at anyone in particular. I just needed to know where I stood. Would I be siding with my brother or our father?

Jaxon narrows his eyes at me. “You know exactly what I want.”

“That’s not what I meant, Jaxon. What is it that you hope to gain from having this knowledge about Blue? You said it yourself, you are not willing to reject her. So what does it matter what her background is?”

“Don’t you think that she has a right to know?”

“Maybe, but she already comes with baggage. Is it fair to put more on her?”

“You don’t want to know?” He asks me, confused.

I flick my eyes to my father, there was obviously a good reason why he hadn’t told us everything and why he was still holding information from us.

“You don’t actually care about her, do you?” Jaxon challenges.

“Of course I do, I’m ma

    Blue“Shit, Oh my Goodness. Xander I’m really sorry. I clamber off the bed as he backs away from me, coughing and spluttering.“It’s fine,” He mutters with his croaky voice.“I didn’t mean to, why were you standing over me like that?” I had intense guilt while Anika was laughing her head off.Stupid idiot!“You’ve been asleep for a while, I wanted to make sure you were okay.”Bullshit!“I was tired. I did tell Jaxon that.”I watch him rub his throat. The redness from my hit, already fading as his voice returned to normal.“He didn’t say that.”He’s lying. He can probably smell Jaxon’s scent on us!“Why didn’t you knock?” I try really hard to listen to his heartbeat. To see if it was like before, if his beat would skip when he lied."I did!" It was another lie."What couldn't wait?" I mutter, yawning and rubbing my eyes.“Father has shared some information with Jaxon and myself.”“About me?”Great! I can’t wait to hear all about this!“Yes.”“Well?” “The Alpha and Luna of Midnight pa

    JaxonHer chest rises and falls. Her heavy breathing slowed as my brother ran from the room. “Let go!” She mutters“Is Anika coming out?”“No.” I release her from my arms and she slowly turns to look at me. “Is it true?”Looking towards the open door. I curse my brother. He should have waited until we were all together to tell her.“Yes.” There was no point in me lying. She could probably sense it, just as I sensed her getting angry minutes ago.Her odd eyes study me. A frown appears on her brow. “Why didn’t you tell me?”“Honestly? I didn’t think it would actually come to it. I guess somewhere along the line, I thought Xander would back off. His feelings for you are not the same as mine and I don't know why. I was downstairs and sensed your anger. The mark has connected us differently.”“He marked me too!”“And I don’t know why it’s different for him. Have you not realised that I can touch you without you freaking out? Is it the same for Xander?”She fiddles with the hem of her shir

    XanderThe smirk on his face makes me want to hit him. Somehow, I keep it together.There was movement upstairs. Most likely Blue was coming from her room and she did not need to see me throwing the first punch. Even if her wolf had threatened me not long ago.Jaxon glances to the ceiling, frowning.“She is clearly on her way down.” I mutter.“She said she was staying in her room. I just sent Ophelia up with some bits. Something isn't right”There is a massive crash above us and Jaxon charges past me. Following him, I raced up the stairs, closely behind my brother, taking two at a time.“STOP.” Blue screams at the top of her voice. “Please, stop.”Bursting into her room, we find our father, pinning her to the ground and trying to pour some liquid in her mouth. I could already smell it. Wolfsbane. It was strong too. Probably enough to do damage to Blue as well as her wolf.“FATHER!” Jaxon charges him, knocking him off of Blue. The vial shatters on the carpet, the remaining liquid spill

    BlueJaxon’s hand rests on my thigh as he talks. It was strange. I always hated being touched, but in the last few days, he had wormed his way in. And now, his touch was oddly comforting. His hand radiated heat. The warmth spreads through my clothes and into my skin. If it had been anyone else touching me, I would have frozen or lashed out. But I didn’t want to do any of those things.It’s the mark. It’s messing with your head. Anika sleepily growls at me. Thankfully Alpha Cyrus hadn’t managed to get much wolfsbane in me. Just enough to knock Anika out for a short while.‘I don’t see you fighting it.’ I mutter back at herA girl has needs. She smirks at me and I am done with the conversation. I was not even close to considering my needs.“She’s not listening.” I hear Xander mutter“Sorry, I was talking to Anika.” I push myself up and Jaxon’s hand falls from my thigh. He doesn’t replace it, and for some reason it annoys me. But I keep my mouth shut.“We need to know if you are on bo

    JaxonI fucking knew it. There was no way he was standing aside and letting me be with Blue. It was obvious, if he couldn’t have her, then no one could.Ophelia was shouting until she was red in the face. But the pack were just exchanging looks and if I didn’t do something soon, they would start accusing Ophelia.“Ophelia, you need to stop!” I walk the few steps towards her and lower my voice. “You will be blamed otherwise.”“She is a monster.” She growls back at me.“And clearly it wasn’t her. She was with me and the others, all day.”“All day?”“Yes and every single one of them can verify it. After you and Xander left, I showed Blue around the pack, introducing her to some of the members that she hasn't met. Now if you keep accusing her when others clearly know she was with them, it will make you look guilty.”She closes her mouth.“Where is my brother?”“I don’t know. I haven’t seen him since we got back.” I scan the grounds and spot Blue stomping towards him. He was leaning agains

    Blue Wake Up! Wake Up! Wake Up! Wake Up! Anika’s practically singing in my head, but as my eyelids peel open, I see that it’s still dark and roll over, trying to ignore her enthusiasm. Jaxon isn’t here! Sitting up. I see the pull out sofa empty. His bathroom door was closed too and the gap beneath the door showed the light was off. ‘I’m sure it’s nothing.’ We should investigate. I hear the joy in her voice and climb out of the bed. It still smells heavily of Jaxon and brought me alot of comfort when I went to sleep at night. I knew he was waiting for me to say he could sleep next to me, but for now, I still needed space. The hallway light was on and Xander’s door was wide open. From the top of the stairs I could see that there was a light on in the office. Why were they in the office at this time? “Hey, you’re awake.” Jaxon comes from the direction of the kitchen. “What’s going on?” I mutter, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. “Come on,” He waves for me to come down the stai

    JaxonNone of us manage to get any sleep. Blue had too many questions about our uncle. Questions that I couldn’t even answer. Xander, well, Xander was just being Xander. Quiet and mulling over the photos we had found.Uncle Quinn doesn’t answer when I call, instead his Beta picks up the phone.“Yes?”“It’s Jaxon.”“I wondered when you would be calling again.” His monotone voice gave nothing away. Was he annoyed that I was calling? He wasn’t even in charge.“Is Uncle Quinn there?”“No.”“Can you get him? I need to speak to him.”“No.”“You don’t need to be a dick about it!” I snap in irritation and Blue frowns at me from the other side of the office.“I can’t get him for you, because Alpha Quinn has already left.”“Where is he?”“He is on his way to you.” He hangs up without saying anything else and I find myself staring at Blue.“He wasn’t there?” “No, he wasn’t. He is on his way here.”Her eyes are wide as she processes the information. “But you said…”“I know. But we can’t hide you

    BlueThe three of them start talking about me as though I was no longer in the room. Talking about things Anika would and could be capable of. Quinn was pushing more and more. Telling the twins that I would be perfect to use when taking over packs.“It isn’t what she wants.” Jaxon mutters, looking at me.I felt relieved, he was still on my side. I was afraid that he would give in.“Have you asked her?” Quinn continues to ignore me“Yes, he has and I’m right here!” I snap, annoyed that he wasn’t speaking directly to me.“I’m not talking about you. I’m talking about your wolf.”“My wolf is a part of me.” I snarl at himYES!“She isn’t though, is she? She has her own thoughts, her own desires.”Oh he thinks he knows everything, does he?!I let out a laugh, we may be different, but she did not like being told what to do.Quinn’s golden eyes narrow at me. “What is so funny?”“If you have to ask, then you must be stupid.” Somehow I was channelling Anika’s sarcasm and she was in hysterics“

    Blue Jaxon laughs at me as I waddle back from the bathroom for what seemed like the millionth time today. “It’s not funny!” I snap. “I wasn’t laughing.” “You try having a pup use your bladder like a bounce house.” “I will say no more.” But I could see the little glances he gave me. Trying to keep his laughter contained. He will be quiet if he knows what's good for him! Anika grumbles Jaxon accompanies me outside. I knew he was worried about me falling. My balance still wasn’t perfect since I had come out of the coma four days ago. But Jaxon had been right, everything was calm. “What are we going to do about Black Moon? The land is empty.” I ask quietly “Xander wants it. Just like he has always said.” “And you don’t?” “My place is here. Next to you and our pup. I thought that leading a bunch of Lycans was what I always wanted. But now, I want nothing more than to stand next to you and our children.” "Children?" I hadn't thought that far ahead. It was impossible to think of

    Blue“Blue, say something, anything, please!” Carla begs me. I was trying to concentrate. Anika was fighting to keep the connection between Luna Charlotte and I open.It was funny. Only moments ago I was desperate to keep her out. Now I wanted her to feel everything.I could feel her anger, her rage as she moved forwards. Get ready! Anika muttersI could see the trees moving, like something large was making its way through them. I hold my ground as Carla continues to beg for me to move.“Carla, if you don’t want to be here. Go inside!” I snap, keeping my eyes locked on the moving trees. She was getting close.“What about you?” I could hear her desperation.“I have Anika.”“That’s not enough!” She pulls on my arm again.She knows what I’m capable of, right? Anika is smiling“This is it, once and for all. Either she dies or I do.”Carla lets go of my arm. She stands next to me and I hear how her bones crack. “I made a promise that I would stand with you.

    BlueHer voice echoed inside my head. “You think you can outsmart me, child!”I could see Jaxon’s eyes. He was tugging at my hands, trying to pull them away from my face.“Talk to me, Blue.”How is she doing this? Anika screeches inside my mind.The mark was from Luna Charlotte, it had to be if she could link me. But how? I didn’t think a woman could mark another.I stare at the gashes in my hands, blood pooled in my palms as Jaxon tries to pull me to my feet.‘Anika, block her the fuck out!’ I growl at my wolf.It takes a few moments and then there is silence.She isn’t happy. Anika whispers‘I don’t give a shit.’I flash my eyes up to Jaxon. “What is she?”“I don’t understand. Are you okay? What the hell happened?”“What is your mother?” The flesh on my hands slowly knits together“She’s a Lycan like me and Xander.”I shake my head at him. I had felt her power. Marking me wouldn’t have allowed my palms to slice open. She had to be something else.She’s trying to break through! Anik

    JaxonThe next few days, everything was quiet. The wolves had nothing to report and even Xander had stopped sulking. The problem was, it was too quiet. Ryan had stopped replying to my messages and no matter how much Blue tried to reassure me, I couldn’t help being concerned. Something wasn't right.Blue sat with her legs crossed under her. Cradling the little rounded belly that had appeared on her small frame. She raises an eyebrow at me as I move back and forth.“You’re stressing.” She mutters.“You would be too if you were in my shoes.”“It’s not you that your mother wants. It’s me. She wants to punish me for killing Jack.”“Blue, how are you so calm?”She looks down at her small bump and smiles “You should hear some of the things Anika is saying. If I wasn’t pregnant, things would be alot different. Trust me.”“Anika would go to my mother?”Her odd eyes flick up to mine. “I’m not going to tell you what she is saying. I don’t need you following her ideas.”“I can always ask her mys

    Blue“A war?” Xander murmurs, “You want to kill my mum?”“Xander, just let her have Black Moon. We lost it when the pack died. There is nothing there for us anymore.” Jaxon tells his brother but Xander starts shaking his head.“Do you know how hard I have worked for that place? You may not want it anymore, now that you have a Luna hanging off your arm, but that place is mine.”I give him credit. Anika laughs. But you can’t win a battle without a pack.I repeat Anika’s words to Xander. He shakes his head in annoyance. “You can help me, Blue. You and your wolves.”Carla’s eyes dance between us. She was choosing not to say anything as Xander’s temper was rising. “I told you, we don’t leave the pack. Luna Charlotte is more than welcome to try and set foot on my land.” My wolves were more than capable of taking her out. I had watched them tear Jack apart like he was nothing more than the newspapers he liked to read.“You have to leave at some point.” Xander throws his hands up in the ai

    XanderCarla comes running through the forest to find me. She looked worried. Her eyes are wide as she crashes into my arms.“What’s wrong?”“I don’t know.”“Is it Blue?”She nods her head at me, “I think so, maybe. She told me everything about Jack. Jack was hanging around by the stream, the one that separates Black Moon from Red Moon. I should have warned her. I should have gone back to her.”“Did you speak to him?”She shakes her head at me. “He didn’t see me. He looked like he was on some sort of mission.”“I need to let the others know.”Carla comes with me as we race to the house looking for Zane and Ryan. Jaxon was blocking my link, no matter how many times I yelled at him.“What’s wrong?” Zane asks, looking between Carla and I. “Is it Blue?”“What is Jack up to?” I demandSomething just felt off by the way he was looking at me.“What do you mean?” Zane mutters, not quite meeting my gaze.“Why is Jack going after Blue? She is already mated. She is happy with Jaxon.”It’s Ryan t

    Hey everyone, I hope you are all well or at least better than I am. I was planning on releasing a chapter today but today my Lupus illness is not doing me any favours and for those that don't know, it makes it difficult for me to look a computer screen for longer than a few minutes. Making it impossible for me to edit. And I don't want to make myself any sicker than needs be. I can't promise there will be a chapter tomorrow either. But if I'm feeling better I will try and get one out for you. Take care and I will see you on the other side.

    Blue.He wasn’t supposed to find out like this. He shouldn’t be here. The wolves were not supposed to let him through.“Are they yours?” He asks quietly. His eyes shift between Carla and me, trying to figure out who they belong too.I could do little more than nod my head.Pregnancy tests. I had taken three just to be sure. Each result didn’t make me feel any better. Carla’s words hadn’t made me feel any better. It was just such a shock. I didn't think it was possible.He wraps his arms around me. “You should have said. Is this why you ran off?”“Tell him.” Carla mouths at meShe’s right Blue, you need to tell him.“There’s something I need to tell you.” I whisper and he holds me at arms length.“The pup is mine, right? Blue, please tell me that it isn't...”“Yes it's yours. How could you even think that I would have slept with someone else?” I frown at him as I push him away.“Jaxon, for once in your life, just listen!” Carla snaps at him“What’s wrong?” He sighs, sitting on the bed

    Jaxon.“What the fuck did you say to her?” I stare at Jack. She was fine until he started shoving his nose in.He peers over his cup, a sly smile on his face. “I have no idea what you are talking about.”“Jack, what have you done?” My mother asks as she finishes her breakfast.“Nothing.”Our mother scowls at him. “Jack, I know you. I have raised you. What have you done?”He turns to look at me. “I told her that she could have something more. That I could offer her a better life, an actual pack could be hers.”"She has a pack!""Of wolves!" He snorts“She is my mate!” I growl“And she is Xander’s too.” He mutters back and gives me a wink.“Jack, she isn’t yours.” Our mother whispers and for some reason, she wasn’t looking Jack in the eye.“Not yet.” He locks eyes with me.“Not ever and now she has taken off. So bravo Jack, you scared her away.” I give him a sarcastic applause.“She’s run off?” His smug smile quickly disappears from his face.“What did you expect to happen? Did you hope
