Forever Wolf

Axel

Reina

I woke with a slight stir of jay in my mind. I realized Axel was near. Despite jay not being around yet I could recall his stench from miles. Sandalwood? What is this Hollister?

I sat up in bed and changed before he even reached my door to knock. I opened it and allowed him in whilst I brushed my hair and teeth. I secretly kept my eye upon the crack in the door and let my superior hearing do the work. I knew he was looking for anything as I heard drawers banging and saw him moving around my room.

I announced my exit and allowed him to look innocent sitting in a chair in the corner of my room. How did I not see through him in the past? He already looked smug. I knew he had taken photos of my fake journal at this point

“Shall we go to tea now, my love?” I tried to not gag as he called me the nickname he called his mistress.

“We shall” I smiled putting my hand within his. This trip would prove value in my past life albeit I didn’t use the opportunity before.

The tea had been quiet- besides Axel trying to touch me at every venture. I avoided his touch. I knew at some point I’d need to sleep with him. But not at this point and I needed Jay to mentally build me up for that. In my last life I had been so naive and overtaken by his comfort about the death of my grandmother. I had given it up to him without knowing if he was my mate. You can imagine the relief I had when I found out he was. Or at least I thought he was.

Connors had approached me before the beta. He had done this in the last life. The beta assuming I had no role in pack politics. He barely tolerated my mother.

“Lady Reina, we’ve received an invitation for the family to the major werewolf ball. It seems like the royal family would like to discuss the rogue attacks we’ve been having lately” Connors handed me the letter. He looked as if he knew I would turn it back to him.

To his surprise I smiled and slipped the letter within my pantsuit. This would be too beneficial to turn up. First I would need his help locating a witch. Besides my mother I also needed him on my side

Axel also seemed shocked that I accepted the invite.

“you really want to accept an invitation from those snooty d****s” Liam looked slightly nervous but he hid it well. I liked to give my first life Reina some credit.

“Oh I fully intend on going to this ball. I love a good dress up.” I saw Connors face fall and axels lit up at the suggestion I was only there for clothes.

“Yes my love. I will of course attend.”

“No I don’t think you should.” I smiled coyly

“Why wouldn’t I attend with you?” His jaw twitched slightly.

“It wouldn’t be appropriate to announce you coming with me without being announced formally as my mate.” I lied. Plastering the best fake smile upon my face.

“Yea of course. The ball is in fact your birthday. We will know that night for sure. Though I couldn’t imagine us not being fated.” I smiled and gave a slight nod. Yes we were fated. Just not by any normal means.

Any normal means indeed. I would find a witch to end this spell before it started.
