Alpha Luna

Chapter 11

Kenzi POV

I knew as I walked into the house that I would be forever drawn to him. Having experienced such a mind-blowing kiss and it being my first one, I wanted to do it again and as much as possible. Knowing that his firm but pillow-soft lips were made just for me, had me getting excited but I knew I needed to calm down and take it slow.

I proceeded but stairs to my room on the fourth floor. As I walked upstairs, all I could think about was Cal- his touch, his body, his presence. I had to get him out of my mind so that I could focus clearly. I realized the further I went up the stairs, the more I wanted to go down and return to him.

As I passed the third floor, the beta’s family floor, I heard much commotion coming from Jaxon’s room. As I head towards his room, I see his parents outside with their heads hung low, pleading with him to open up.

“Jaxon sweetheart, what is going on?” His mother pleaded. “Please allow us to help.” She said as tears rain down her face.

My uncle Lukas, Jaxon’s father, just stared at the door with such an unreadable face. He normally knew exactly what you needed to hear at the moment, but this time, he seemed stumped.

“Hi guys, do you mind if I give it a try?” I say as I hear the crashing of things within his room start to slow down. His parents know that he will never open the door to them.

“Oh, would you please. I know he will tell you what has him so upset.” My aunt coos.

Without a change in facial expression my uncle said, “We know what happened at the rogue fight. Just tell him we love him still just the same and we are here for him.”

“I will.” I simply say taken back by my uncle's words, as a gave him a soft smile. I knew that this would be a hard one for them to understand, but he seems to accept Jax’s mate without any questions.

I grabbed the handle and slowly pushed the door in, trying to prepare myself for what I expected to see within Jaxon's room. Nothing could have prepared me for seeing my best friend so broken. He was on his knees in the middle of the room surrounded by broken furniture and torn wall art and pillows.

His head immediately snapped up when he felt my presence. His eyes looked so wrecked from crying and heartache. I instantly ran to him and fell on my knees in front of him and scooped him up in a soothing hug.

“He doesn’t want me.” That was all he said as he broke down into a sob. I had never seen Jaxon cry, let alone cry this harshly. He was always the strong one for me, now I had to be that for him. “He says he is not gay and that he will f**k every girl to prove it. I felt him with two w***e tonight.”

“Hey, we are not going to allow him to break you like this. If he is not willing to see how wonderful and handsome you are, screw him! We will move on to someone who is willing to accept you.” I cooed. “I imagine this must hurt like hell but know that I will be here for you. We will get through this together. We will not allow him to see you broken.”

He inhaled deeply and continued to look at me through soaked eyelashes.

“You have a family who loves and support you and we will be everything you need to be successful.” I pulled away from him to stand up.

I offered him my hand to stand after I was situated. He grabbed it and I pulled him into another hug.

“Thank you, Kenz. I know you are right but it just hurts like hell.” He said leaning into my head with his chin.

“Duh! I know I am! Now sleepover in my room, we can’t sleep in here.” I chuckled. “You shower, I will get your things to take to my room, and message Stella.”

“Sound like a plan.”

As Jaxon finished getting his shower and getting his clothes, we left his room to head to mine. Once we arrived, we opened the door to Stella already on the bed in her PJs.

“That asshole!” She screamed as soon as she saw Jaxon.”

“Okay, you took two catch up. I’m going to take a quick shower.” I say as I head off towards the bathroom.

I quickly shower and wash my hair before jumping out. I put on my camisole and pajama pants, pull my hair into a messy bun before walking into the room.

I see Stella and Jaxon cuddled in the bed sleeping peacefully. I get in the bed and nestle up by Stella and prepare for sleep to take me.

“No ma’am, you are not getting off that easy. You will tell me everything about your mate,” she said between stretches. “But in the morning. I am so tired.” We chuckled.

“I promise.” I smiled cheerfully.

I closed my eyes and was greeted by Cal’s dreamy eyes and deep dimples.

Cal POV

As I make it back to the house, I walk into the open foyer that has a sitting room off to the right side. I proceed to go upstairs in search of Emilio. Before I take a step up, I hear a slight noise coming from the sitting room. When I look over, I see Emilio sitting in the dark corner with his head hung low and whiskey in his other hand.

Since Emilio is normally not a drinker, I know whatever is going on is serious. I cautiously step towards him. “Hey, you okay?” I ask with caution.

“I’m fine if you think it's okay for the moon goddess to blatantly curse me by mating me to a DUDE.” He seethes as he enunciates his last work. “What is everyone going to think?!?! They all expected me to continue the beta line. I am a failure.”

“First, really is it this serious?!?” I looked over at him. “No one cares who you are mated to. I know as cheesy as it is but love is love. The moon goddess gave him to you for a reason. As far as kids, there are other ways for you to be a father.”

“See it like this, you got pissed tonight when some guy helped him, how would you feel if someone guy did something else to him?” I asked with a raised eyebrow.

Then I heard my answer. Emilio released a low menacing growl. “Seems we have our answer, now you have to decide if you are ready to accept it.”

As I prepared to walk away for the night, I spoke over my shoulder, “Emilio, as your best friend and alpha, I am very happy for you. I will also support you with whatever you decide.”  

He gave me one last head nod and I proceeded up the stairs to my from.
