His Golden Alpha

Chapter 7

Jax

This party is getting real late. Jas is still dancing with that vampire. I don't like the way he is all up on her. We shared a kiss and a nice steamy kiss. Why isn't she all up on me? She is a player or maybe she doesn't feel the mate bond the way I do? Seeing her with Nic was weird in itself. Nic was getting so turned on by her I could smell it. Was my mate a lesbian or bisexual? I wasn't for sure and I would have to share her. I'm so out of the loop on these new trends with lovers. I keep an open mind and open door policy with my pack. I never want anyone to feel that they can't belong because of who they choose to love. I just didn't think I would be in that type of situation. Glancing around the table, I realized that the dragon had left but his beta, Charles. I think that his name was there looking bored out his mind. As if he would rather be anywhere else but here. I wanted to spark up a conversation to be nice but the look on his face said to piss off. I'm not one to start a fight, but if he wants to, we can. The last time i trained was weeks ago. I have been so busy with the company that I really don't hang out and deal with pack life much. Everything has changed since I was a pup. The world is changing and to survive we must always adapt. I feel as though I'm meant for more than running through the forest or waiting for rogues to attack. I'm not country enough. I don't want that responsibility anymore. I want to denounce my title and let Bryce take over. He is better suited for the job if you ask me. He trains twice as hard and loves everything about pack life. I know he will never fully ask me for the position and he won't challenge me either. Picking up my drink and watching my mate dance, I noticed the guy from earlier and the dragon approached her. I don't like how we both look at her. But I'm watching in the wings and waiting. Blaze is in my ear telling me to go to her and take my place next to her. But I just sit. He walks off to the back of my mind pissed that I'm not doing anything. I'm not letting it be known that I'm her mate. The one good thing about being a wolf is hearing. So that is what I will do. Listen in on this conversation and if i need to get up I will. I don't. I will continue to watch.

Victor

Walking over to Jas, I felt compelled to just end this dragon's life for good. He has always been a pain to me since we first met in Japan. I met him after Jas left me. I was desperate for something. He offered me solutions to my problems and, yes, he is the reason I became Alpha. He planned everything from the s*****e to the challenges. How he came to be in the wolf business I will never know. I hate that I owe my new status to him. I hate that I owe him a period. Once I get rid of him, I will be free of him. Once we reached Jas, she was still in the arms of this vampire, Matt. I detest all other species besides my own . Mingling here is making my fur itch. Matt twirls her around once more and she stops in front of us. I can see she is not happy about this current situation, but ever the gracious host, she puts on a smile and greets us. "Hello Victor, who's your friend?" she asks. He isn't my friend, but whatever. "Oh this is my associate Tristan, Tristan, this is the love of my life Jas." I smirked at Jas. I knew saying that would rile her up. I wanted her to get angry. I wanted her to just walk away from us so that I could get Tristan away from her. But she smiled back and said, " I wouldn't say all that, Victor, we have a fun time in Japan. Love? No not at all, but nice try." she smirked at me. She turned to Tristan and took his hand. "I'm sorry for Victor's introduction because he lacks a lot of things and manners is one of them." she smiled at him. Tristan took her hand and kissed it. "Dont worry, I know all about his manners as a new Alpha. He still doesn't act as if he's the helper and not the boss". Tristan replied. "Well don't let us keep you, it's getting late as is and I'm sure you would like to get some rest before next weekend's events". I said to Jas. She was looking at me as if she was trying to decide what to say. She gave a tight smile and walked away with Matt. "What was that?' Tristan turned and yelled at me. Shrugging my shoulders, I just walked off. I did what he asked a introduction was made. I never said it would be good. As soon as I turned to leave, he roughly grabbed me by the arm. I yanked it back ready to see what he would do in front of all these people. Dragons are proud people dating back to centuries. I knew he wouldn't put on a scene in front of all of these important people. His eyes flashed green again. I knew I had him pissed now. Let's see if he shows his true colors. Tristan looked around and straightened up his suit as if I had put dust on it. He leaned closer to where I could only hear him. "This isn't over mutt"! and he walked off back to the table he was sitting at. He leaned down and whispered in his second ear and he looked at me with a malicious grin. I knew I had messed up big time but I didn't want him to come near Jas. Nothing was ever what it seemed with that dude and whatever he wanted with Jas, I wasn't about to let him get near her. She was mine and mine alone. I needed to get out of here and regroup. Going back over to the ladies that came with me, I needed to release this stress. I grabbed them and made my exit.

Tristan

That fool. I was still seething with anger. After everything I did for him. Made him into an Alpha rich beyond what he was born to be, and how does he repay me? He embarrassed me in front of Jasmine. I will never call her Jas. Jasmine is what her name is and Jasmine is what I shall always call her. Everything about her screamed for me to take her here and now. I wanted her to come home with me and help me save my family and people. I have been following her since before she was born. I knew her great grandmother, Claudine Devereaux. She was just as gorgeous as Jasmine, the same green eyes that you can get lost in. She made a promise to me that she would help me with this curse that has plagued my family for centuries. I was becoming desperate as the years came and went. We were down to only a few hundred dragons left. I just needed to bond with her so that our blood could mix and spread it across our lands. It was a sacrifice i was willing to make for the good of my people. Claudine knew what was at stake. She made a promise to me. Then she found her mate and things changed. She settled down and had Jasmine's mother and built a life for herself. When i was able to confront her about the promise she made to me, she started to cry and beg me not to honor it. I told her I would give her time with her family and leave them alone. Claudine gave me her word she would find a way to help and that didn't mean anything. Time wasn't on my side in this. When I was ready, she refused me again. I grew bitter and told her to spend as much time with her daughter as possible because I would come for her and I didn't care, mate or not, I would save my people by any means necessary. By the time I came back, Claudine had died in a rouge attack and her daughter was gone. At that moment, something snapped in me. I became so bitter I began seeking help from witches and warlocks and they couldn't give me an answer. It all came back to Claudine and her family's bloodline. I never found the daughter because the witch told me that the spell Claudine put on her would block me from ever finding her. I'm still not sure how we ended up being cursed by the wolves, but it would take us both to break it and free us from death. Or at least that is what the prophesy said. Bonded to the earth, whatever that meant. Well, I think it means combing the blood and giving it back to the land of dragons. I don't have any ancestors to ask about it. Everything had been destroyed. There were a few markings in the cave that sits above our city. I tried to take a witch there but as soon as we got to the entrance, a barrier came up and they couldn't pass. It feels like I'm constantly running out of time. Seeing Charles at the table, I walked over to him and let him know what Victor had done and for him to keep an eye out for him. Charles knew the frustrations we faced and he was with me every step of the way. He lost his mate to our curse and was eager to see it to the end. I ended up just wanting to go. Luckily, I will be back for the weekend training. Maybe then i can try a new approach and get her to help. If not, then I know what i must do.
