Breed by Alpha Jaxton

Chapter 72

He is not a child anymore but an adult responsible to make his own decisions. He can’t tell me that he was threatened. He made his choice and he is going to live with it. 

Throwing the phone onto The bed I make a mental note to tell the Alpha that I need spare charger because my battery is running down. But at the same thing it’s not like I have anybody that I’m talking to online. 

Anyways good Riddance. 

As I grab my clothes and start to pull off my towel I hear a knock on the door before it is opened and there stands the alpha. We both pause and just stare at each other. There is me standing there naked except for the towel that is wrapped around my body and stops at the top of my thighs. 

We just freeze. He is staring at me and I am staring at him in shock. 

That’s till he starts talking. No man has ever seen me this naked before. 

“Sorry, I didn’t know you were not dressed yet. Maggie told me she dropped these off thirty minutes ago.” He explains as he enters into the room and shuts the door behind him.

“Yeah. About that.....” I look sheepish as I look down to the ground and back at his face. 

I spent extra time in there crying but he doesn’t need to know that. 

“I took some minutes washing my hair and taking the gunk out of my fingers.” I tell him. I genuinely had dirt that was stuck between my nails from all the pulling of the earth i did. 

“That’s okay. Hope you like the room?” He asks.

“Yes I do. It is so nice, pretty and neat.” I tell him because it really is all those things.

There are a lot of pillows on the bed. 

The curtains are thin enough to let the fresh air inside and thick enough to abate insects and the sun if it gets too hot. The color of the room is soothing. I like it. And lastly the bed is comfy. So comfy all I want to do is sleep now. 

“Okay. That’s nice. Dinner is not really yet it will soon be so I’m going to send Maggie up to you.” He says .

“Thank you so much.” I tell him. 

He just stands there and looks at me and I think he wants to ask me questions but he is thinking about it but he is not asking any too. 

He looks so good in the light. 

“Thank you.” I tell him. 

“For what?” He asks raising his eyebrows. 

“For rescuing me. You might now know it but you saved me. I don’t know what I would have done if you hadn’t helped me and brought me here. I really appreciate it.” I tell him. 

he just stares at me for a while and nods his head. 

“You’re welcome.” 

He is extremely good looking. I mean drop dead gorgeous. His dark hair frames his face. It is not too long neither is it too short. It falls down in waves and he has brushed a bit of it backwards and out of his face. He has full lips especially his lower lip. It is full and pouty makes me think of how nice it will be to kiss him and if it is going to taste as good as it looks.

He moves to the door and looks back at me one more time and nods before he slips out the door. 

I collapse on the bed and berate myself. Once minute in his presence I am already panting after him like a stupid hoe. He is hot with his thick muscles and broad shoulders but that doesn’t mean I want to fall into his arms like a helpless dame. But my word is he hot. Jeremy pales in comparison. When Jeremy is cute and soft Alpha Jaxton is all rough edges and so soft. His jawline alone can cut paper and he has this high cheek bones that gives him an exotic look all in all he is stunning and attractive too. There’s no way he can even be interested in me, one I am sure he has a lot of ladies after him at the time I know I am not the beauty standard. I am overweight and I don’t work out, lastly I looked like a drenched rat with my wet hair falling everywhere. I need to focus on other things instead. 

The plan is to stay for as long as necessary and move on to the next place I’m going to be which is not back home or even here. I need to focus on my goals and that starts with changing into my clothes. I try on the shorts but they are too big for me but Thankfully the shirt is big enough to cover my body down to just below the top of my thighs. It feels good to be clean again. So with that I lay down on the bed and scroll through my phone quickly. Just checking messages and ignoring all of them because they are from people I don’t used to talk to all of a sudden reaching out to me and expressing their sympathies. A little too late now. 

I ignore friend requests and reply another message from my Mum. 

“I need to make sure you are safe. You have me and your dad really worried.” The text reads and I hit reply. 

“I told you that I’m safe and you don’t need to worry about me. I am okay.” I reply again. 

She hits call. 

I want to ignore the call but if I don’t she’s only going to keep texting me and texting me which I want her to quit for heavens sake. 

I hit pick. 

“Hey baby, we are so worried about you, we searched the whole town and you were gone. Where are you!?” She asks.

“It is none of your business where I am.” I tell her abruptly halting her questions. 

“What do you mean it is not my business where you are. I am still your mother and you talk to me with respect.” She says angrily. 

“Or what? You are not my mother anymore. Please stop texting me or calling me. I am an adult now and I don’t need you breathing down my neck and reminding me about what a terrible mother you are.” I tell her. 

“You are being unreasonable. I thought I explained why what happened had to happen? It is the right thing to do and you will get over him. Don’t let your anger make you do something you will regret.” She cautions me. 

“I don’t need you advice. I won’t ever need it. You didn’t just hurt my feelings you are actually defending your stupid decisions to me, your daughter who you hurt!!! You convinced me that toy loved us equally but all could see was my mother sacrificing my happiness for me that of her precious baby girl. Thanks but no thanks I am joy coming back to that house and that’s final.” I tell her. 

“I think you should sit down and cool off. You sound so immature thinking about only yourself. You need to stop being selfish and think about what is good for the whole family and not just about yourself all the damn time.” She growls. 

“I won’t tell you again not to text me or call me. I am just going to block this number and any other number you use to call me. I can’t deal with you guys. Bye.” I tell her as I hang up the call. I am really upset now. How can you possibly think I am not going to be upset and I should think about the good of the family. Why am I surprised? They never tell themselves the truth but since they want to always remain blinded by their golden child I am going to stay far away from that toxicity. It is not good for me anyways. Again i say a prayer of thanks to the goddess for letting the Alpha be invited on that day. If he hadn’t been invited then he wouldn’t have seen me and picked me up, bringing me here where I would be safe away. 

I am feeling so sleepy after that hot shower and the clean clothes. I paddle to the bathroom and look around till I find what I am looking for, a new tooth brush. I pick up and brush my teeth with it. Once I am done I put my hair in a bun so it can dry out then I paddle back to the room to get some shut eye. I am still feeling extremely exhausted. I slept in the car during the ride here but it wasn’t enough. I gather the blanket, wrap it around my body and fall into a deep sleep.

you can join us for dinner or I can send food up here for you. the girl says. She looks so beautiful. I have seen my own fair share of beautiful people but she is so stunning with her dark hair and bright eyes. Her hair tumbles down in waves down her back and she even has bangs. Pretty cute if you ask me.

She looks at me with curiorsity. A lot of people in the pack might be wondering who I am and what I am doing here. If the Alpha tells them what I am doing here then it wont be long before cveryone knows that I was rejected by my mate and then I am going to be the talk of the town as the rejected mate thats even more reason why I cant stay for long. I am not going to be the laughing stock again and I refuse to see the looks of pity and disgust on their face too when they find out about my curse. 

I remember that she is asking me a question.

what is your name again? I ask her.

i am Magaret but you can call me maggie for short, I take care of the upstairs floor and I also clean the Alphas room too from time to time. she says looking at me with her bright eyes and pretty smile.

okay. I am Lily and you can call me lily for short too. I tell her and she smiles wider.

youre funny. I like it. So are you going to come down to eat or what? she asks.

i think I am just going to eat in here today. I say fidgeting.

that would be wise. she shrugs.

everyone is talking about you and they are super curious about you so it is advisable for you to sit this one out for now and then later when the buzz has died down you can join us. she says kindly.

oh, okay, why are they talking about me though? I ask her.

oh, its nothing. its just that the way our Alpha carried you in like some damsel in distress has the whole town talking especially the female folks. They think you have snared his heart and the Alpha has never been in close contact with any female in a long time hence the curiorsity. she says again.

why though? It shouldnt be that unsual. I was asleep and he helped me up that was all. I tell her puzzled by why they would be so fascinated.

you wont understand but just know it caused a stir and it would die down soon so dont worry about it. she tells me.

okay then. lets get you some food. You look tired. she says again.

thanks. I appreciate it. I tell her because I really do need a friend in this place where I dont know anybody. She walks out of the room and shuts the door behind her.

I grab my phone and scroll through the internet and see that Jenny has uploaded pictures of both her and Jeremy. I feel the piercing hurt again but then as a glutton of punishment I tap on it and view it and even go ahead to scroll through the comment section of people congratulating her for finding her mate. My mate they mean. He is my mate and they all know she took him from me and they are all there acting like it never happened.

After I am done I block her on all social media platforms. If I want to heal as much as I can so I can move on that mean si ned to take away anything that is going to make me remember her.

I stay on the bed and Alpha Jaxtons face flash before my eyes as I remember how I was nearly naked with my wet hair all over my face and he was just standing few feet away from me. It would have been easy to just pull on my towel and boom I would have been naked for him to see all of me.

In that moment there was awareness. Animal instinct told me to be cautios of this man he is unlike any man I have ever met. His energy is full of power and just this thick masculine energy that screams powerful you just know he runs the show here.

He was staring at me and not once did he look below my neck area. I dont know how to feel about that . One part of me is saying it is because he does not find me attractive thats why. I mean who stand sin such close proximity to a naked woman and doesnt want to at least look. Rarely any red blooded male. The second reason might be because he is a gentleman and he doesnt want to make me feel uncomfortable or offend me in any way. Thats super nice and I respect that.

But come to think of it if he wanted to look I wouldnt have minded much. He is so attractive and handsome with dark hair that have blue streaks in them and his gorgeous eyes I would have let him touch me if he wanted to. 

I gasp at the train of my thoughts. Come on now, I has barely been a day of being rejected by my mate and I am lareayd panting after another man like a damn hussy. Who does that? In a way I feel like I am cheating on my mate by even entertaining any thoughts of me and him touching or even mere looking.

It is ridiculous because some where out there he is kissing and making love to my sister so I dont owe him anything and if I want to sleep with all the men I can find then so be it for f***s sake.

Soon Maggie comes back with a platter of food. She drops it off and hurries out my guess is that she is going to assist them in the kitchen or soemthing of the sort. I open the platter and there is a lot of food there. From cornbread to steak and mashed potatoes and for desert there is blueberry pie. It looks good and it smells good too. Since I am so hungry because I have not eaten in days I dig in at once. It tastes as good as it smells and looks. The cook is doing such a great job, the pie just crumbles on my tongue and slides down my throat and I cant even contain my happy moans of delight. It is really good stuff. The mashed potatoes is creamy and light with the just the perfect amount of cream and cheese. The cornbread tastes divine too and I stuff my mouth with them both. The steak is done just right. Not cooked through that it becomes tough but soft enough that it melts on your tongue drizzled with garlic butter and permesan.

I leave not a single crumb on the plate and I start thinking of eating nice meals like this everyday is not going to be a bad idea at all. It is going to be great in fact and in no time I am going to be fatter than ever.

Theresnot much to do anyways. Normally I will be curled up with a book and reading away but now I dont have my k****e with me neither do I have my books so I have to settle for the online books, not that I have anything against reading books online its just I prefer to hold the books feel the pages and make notes as I read along. There Is just something authentic about the hardcover books. It feels more real. Like the author actually picked up a pen and paper and wrote it all down, you know? 

Anyways finding a good book is no difficulty, I find one quickly and settle in to read and soone I am nodding off but with the image of Jaxton in my head. He is the one I picture instead of the male protagonist. He is the one I picture holding my hand and making everything alright. I have a dream but in the dream there is only calmness and no sadness at all. When I wake up all I think of is the fact that Alpha Jaxtons energy has a soothing effect on me and whenever he is around all the bad thoughts go away which is good you know..

I also think about the fact that I dont know what to expect with this new people I am kinda wary already although at the same time I think I am going to do alright. The girl, maggie that came to drop food was friendly enough so I dont think they will be as mean as the others though. Either whatever the future holds I pray I am ready for it.

JAXS POV.

I watch her sleep as the vehicle moves quickly on the highway. It is taking everything inside me not to reach over to her and smoothen the lock of hair that has fallen across her forehead. She is beautiful to say the least. She is ethereal. Like someone out of a novel. Truth be told I have never seen anyone as beautiful as she is and trust me I have seen my fair share of beautiful women from all of my travels but she takes the lead and it is not just about her unusual features like her eyes and hair but the innocence she radiates is uncommon. Even in her anger and hurt she was still innocent. It shows that some people are not even bad people but society or betrayal make them bad people or make them do bad things because even as she called out her sister for being a b***h it hurt her to do. It exhausted her to use such harsh words and it broke her heart that she had to result to name calling just to get them to see the terrible things they had done to her. She is not the type of person to have outbursts from the way the majority of the pack were surprised that she was finally speaking up for herself.

what do you think you are doing Jax? I hear in the mic in my ear. It is the voice of my beta and my best friend. He is my most trusted and the only one with the guts to call me by my name. 

I press the button that gives me privacy from my drivers and since this mic is only for I and my beta it is safe to speak into it.

what do you mean what am I doing? I ask him.

you know what I mean and stop playing coy with me and answer the question. he growls.

i assume it is the girl? I ask dryly.

yes it the girl genius. Why did you take her and what do you plan on doing with her?? he asks.

i didnt take her per say. The way you say it like I kidn*pped her or something. She is not here against her will, if she wants to leave she can leave anytime she wants.

why did you take her? You know there was no need for us to interfer in pack matters that dont concern us right? he asks again.

i know but still, this is nothing, she was practically leaving the pack anyways. I tell him.

i have a feeling you have something else planned. If you are planning to use this girl to somehow take down this alpha then I think you should reconsider. I dont think its a good idea. Look she has been hurt several times let me breathe and let her not feel like shes been used all over again. he says.

we are all pawns and players in someone else game. Think about and dont worry about her. Shes in safe hands. I tell him.

I look over at her huddled at the edge and sleep and I feel gentle when I look at her. She looks exhausted and her face is pinched in a frown. Even in sleep she is fighting demons. Her gown covers her well so the coldness of the air conditioner does not disturb her. My pack is pretty much not a modern pack. Over the years a lot of packs embraced modernity which is good. theres rapid innovation and we cant keep being stuck in the past and our archaic ways when there are always newly improved and simpler ways to get things done. We are wolves and are highly trained for combat but at the same time I make sure that my members take courses on how to use new modernized weapons and I make sure we have the best gadgets. Check out our cars, the latest, fastest and safest... I mean they are bulletproof and can most likely out run wolves if we are being attacked during any one of our travels. 

if we want to take him down then we have to do this the smart way and I am not going to take any chances we already know what isat stake here so we have to use whatever means necessary to do this. I have not even determined if shes going to be useful to the cause. I tell him.

There is silence at the other end before he responds slowly.

theres so much we dont know about this girl.. I heard whispers of this supossed curse and we need to get to the bottom of it if shes going to be staying with us and our people not that we should atke her under our wings and find out shes just going to be a liability to us. I know you are curious about her but the truth is our people and those we love come first no matter what. he says trying to reason with me.

i know you put our people first always. I am not questioning your leadership or the way you run things I just know how fascinated you can get with things you dont understand or you cant figure out. Let this one go. he says.

heard you loud and clear. You know if you werent my best friend and my right hand man I would have your head for insurbodination. I tell him gruffly.

He laughs at the other end and ends the mic conversation. But I would never do that to him. Where I am the figure head and everyone looks up to me without my best friend I wouldnt have been where I am today. He is more than a friend and he is also my confidant, adviser and one of the few persons in this world that I can turn to and he is going to have my back. I remember that particular windy night that I found my dad dead on the floor with a knife sticking out of his chest I fell to the ground is shock and mostly rage. He was there to talk down from that high, his voice drew me back to the normal and in a sense he is the one that gets and calms me down. 

Throughout my journey to being the formidable leader that I am he has never once made me doubt him and I in turn have listened to him and made him my beta and the commander in charge of our armed forces. After I he comes next in command in the entire pack.

He doesnt take our security measures lightly thats one of the reasons he is highly suspicious of everyone. I understand where is coming from but this girl has sparked up my curiorsity and other than her peculair appearance and that is her hair and her eyes she is very attractive. As she lays down at the edge of the car with her head leaned against the door I can still clearly see the outline of her body. She is all woman with that curvy body and a big ass to boot. A lot of women would rather not have any meat on their bones because of the new fashion trends and what they think society desires but we are wolves and we cant adopt everything the ignorant humans do. Right from time we have always opted from fully formed women to mate with and bare our children come home after a long day of training to sink into the pillowy body of your woman and enjoy her comfort and smell but here you can sink into them anymore. I love my women thick and enough to hold and handle.

This curse thing I heard about it and asked the Alpha about it and he was only too glad to tell me about it. Apparently their oracle had a vision on the day Lily was born that was going to be as white as the lily flower and as the sky on a summer day but in the midst of that light would come darkness. A deep darkness that will wage and swallow everyone that ever comes in contact with her and also her wolf is dormant and will never emerge. So many other things and he even said how he and his trusted advisers planned on doing away with her once she started maturing but he is very good friends with her dad who is a loyal enforcer and that means he cant do what he planned to her so me taking her off of his hands will not be met by resistance in fact he will see it like I did him a solid but I know there is more to her than meet the eyes. My mama used to tell me the tales of a child of destiny with hair as white as snow, eyes as blue as the sea and skin as brown as the earth. Three factors that mean so much to the prophesy. I have a feeling that the oracle would have gotten the prophesy wrong. Because there are just a ,ot of tings that dont add up when you piece it together and look at the big picture.

what am I going to do with you? I ask myself as I look at her. She might be thinking that I am going to let her go when we get to the pack like give her time to regroup and leave but thats not the case here I am going to have to keep her busy so she doesnt slip away from me. Something about letting her go just doesnt sit right with me or even letting wander alone to where I might not be able to help save her or rescue her. I need to devise a way to keep her busy so she doesnt forget
