Jaxon’s POV
GO BACK, GO BACK TO MATE, Alistair growls at me.
I walked back to the office and took a deep breath; Nate followed me, “man, what was that?”
“She’s my mate.”
“And what are you doing up here? Did you see that girl”
Alistair growls at him, but I suppress it, “she cannot be my mate; I cannot have a mate.”
“What are you talking about? Go back there and claim our luna.”
"Nate, you are like a brother to me, but you know very well I cannot accept her."
"Maybe you can do things differently."
Then Jane walks into the office screaming, she’s always been like a little sister to me. So I know I am about to get it.
“What the f***, Jax, why are you rejecting my friend. Do you know what you just did?”
“J, I know! I didn’t mean to walk away. I just didn’t know what else to do.”
“You go back there, and you take care of my friend or help me. I will make your life hell.”
Why are short she-wolves always so crazy? I lived with her for 18 years, so I know exactly what she is capable of.
“I just walked away from her; there’s no way she is going to talk to me.”
“Get your a** down there Jax!”
I turn to Nate, who’s frowning at me from behind the door.
I am never gonna get them to stop; I turned and left the lounge, Jane and Nate close behind me.
I walk back towards their VIP section, and I see my mate being carried in the arms of another man; from his aura, I can tell he is ranked beta, maybe gamma. Alistair growls possessively and narrows his eyes at the man with my mate in his arms; the nerve of this guy does he know who I am.
“Give me my mate!” I said through clenched teeth. Why do I care? I do not even want a d*** mate!
“So you’re the asshole who rejected my sister?”
“I did not reject her” we were starting to draw a crowd.
“You didn’t accept the bond either. I am taking her home back home.”
“I will take her.”
“Like H*** YOU ARE! She is coming back home to Texas with me,” and he tries to leave with my mate still in his arm; Alistair lets out a primal growl. Stopping everyone in the club.
“Do not make me repeat myself, pup!”
“Who are you calling a pup?”
“Hand me, my mate” I see her stir in his arms, and she whispers something in his ear, making Alistair growls. He sets her on her feet, and I see that she’s been crying.
If you hurt my mate, I will k*** you! Alistair growls at me.
Just then, I see his eyes flicker yellow and back to brown.
He walks towards Jane, I see her blush a bit, and I hear them both say, MATE! Well, I guess tonight is to the night for finding your mate.
Jane’s POV
I walk out of the manager's office to smell the most delicious scent; cedarwood with a hint of citrus. My wolf is howling in my head and is waiting for us to find the source. I continue walking towards Jax; I see a tall man, maybe 6’1”, with large shoulders in a black suit holding my friend in his arms. His hair was short, but he had a beard I wanted to grab. He has the same perfect brown skin as Eva. He put Eva down, and I see his eyes flicker yellow his wolf surfacing. He walks towards me, and I find that he is the source of the delicious scent, he looks at me, and we both say, “MATE.” I cannot believe that I have found my mate. How can I find my mate tonight of all nights, when my best friend is basically being rejected by hers. Why Moon Goddess, Why? Before we could talk, Eva walked towards me, my poor friend. I am not sure how she even walking. I would be a puddle on the floor right now. I open my arms, and she throws herself in my arms.
“I am so happy for you; I already thought of you as a sister now it’s official.”
“What are you talking about?
“Your mate, he is my brother Daniel. He’s also my packs Gamma”
“Eva, I am only worried about you right now; what do you need from us?”
“All of you go back to the party have fun. I am gonna talk to my supposed mate.”
“Are you sure?” Molly asks, earning a look from Jaxon. She stares him down with no fear.
“Yeah, we might as well get it over with, right?” She said with a small smile. She then walks towards the stairs leading to the manager's lounge with Jaxon following.
Eva’s POV
What a night this has turned out to be; 25 isn’t shaping out to be that great. I reach the top of the steps, and my mate, whose name I still do not know, reaches out and opens the door. I see he has some manners.
I step into the office, and it's huge; through the window, I can see the dance floor and the large monitors on the wall with different parts of the club. It was very impressive.
“Nice operation you guys have here.”
“Yeah, it’s all Nate.”
“Nate is?”
“ My beta”
“And you are?”
“Jaxon Williams Alpha of Darkwoods pack”
“Well, I, Evangeline Elizabeth Stone, gamma of the Moonlight pack, reject you…” he places his hand over my mouth.
“How dare you try to reject me!”
“You walked away from me; it’s clear you do not want a mate. I deserve a mate that wants to be with me.”
“I never wanted a mate” wow, this man is definitely trying to kill me with his words.
“So why not reject me? Why let this drag this on.”
”Because you were given to me, and whether or not I want you as my mate and luna, you are already mine.”
Let me bite his face, says Priya.
I took a seat on the arm of the sofa, “so what exactly do you want here, alpha Jaxon?”
“You will come with me to my pack until we figure this out” he speaks as if everything is so final.
“The h*** I am, I am not going anywhere with an asshole alpha who can’t even decide whether or not he wants his fated mate.”
He steps closer, towering over me, “you watch your tone when you speak to me, little mate.” Now I can see that he is a huge man, 6’4” easy with his long blonde hair in a light bun on his head, his facial hair is neatly trimmed. His body is very muscular, evening his grey suit I can see his muscular legs.
I roll my eyes “if there’s nothing else, ALPHA, I will be leaving now.”
“Pack your stuff. I am picking you up tomorrow from your apartment.”
“Are all unmated alphas hard of hearing or just you? f**k off!” I got up to leave, he grabbed my wrist, and I felt the sparks. I yank my arm out of his, “you do not touch me, EVER.” And I walked downstairs and headed back to my friends.
Jaxon’s POV
She walked in front of me, heading to the office, and all I could do is stare at that perfect perky ass in that tight dress. Watched her hips sway as she walked, her hair bouncing. She is so perfect. In the office, after a few words, “Well I Evangeline Elizabeth Stone, gamma of the Moonlight pack reject you…” I put my hand on her mouth and cut her short, I could not believe she tried to reject me. She takes a seat on the arm of the sofa. I approach her, towering over her; I notice her chocolate skin, the tiny freckles that danced on her nose, and her eyes; wow. I have never seen eyes like that before, one brown, one blue. She is absolutely breathtaking.
She is perfect, says Alistair.
Shut up, you mutt- I growled back
Don’t f**k this up/
I don’t need a mate Al,
Do not call me that; you may not need a mate, but I want my mate. FIX THIS, YOU i***t, and retreats into the back of my mind.
I have never had a woman speak to me that way before ranked or not.
I watched her go back downstairs to the party, without another word. With Nate still being down there, I followed her.
