Bequeathed to my Cold Alpha

Unacceptable

Jason's POV

I only looked up when I was sure that Shane was out of the room. I felt no remorse at spoiling his plans to give Jane a deserving birthday. Jane having a birthday means she would smile and I didn't want that, she didn't deserve the happiness.

I dropped the file I was holding and sighed staring at the closed door. Then I remembered something. I swore when I remembered that I had not instructed Shane to see to what Jane and the baby needed. I decided to go in search of him and exercise my limbs in the process so I followed his scent.

I frowned when I realized that I was heading to the nursery. Had Shane gone into the nursery with Jane? I stopped at the door as I heard someone sniffing and listened. I knew that I was eavesdropping but I wasn't going to back away either. Something in me wanted to hear that discussion.

“I don't like the way you are right now Jane,” Shane said sounding very unhappy.

“I can't be any other way Shane I feel so useless,” Hilda said. She sounded angry at herself.

“No. You are not useless. Luna Hilda believed in your usefulness to this pack,” Shane said defensively.

"No. Luna Hilda made the wrong decision. She should not have forced me on the Alpha. He hated me when she was alive and now he hates me even more," I heard Jane say sniffing.

“I think the Alpha is just grieving the death of Luna Hilda. He is going to come around,” Shane said but he sounded very unconvincing.

“I pray everyday that he would somehow find another female to become his Luna. I wouldn't make a good Luna. Not to him, not to this pack. I am broken,” Hilda said making my heart hurt a little. I should be happy that she was sad right? But I felt as If my heart was breaking.

"You are going to make a good Luna Jane. I guess Luna Hilda saw that in you," I heard Shane say to her.

"No. I might make a good Luna somewhere else. As it is now, I am ready to sell myself off to any Alpha as s*x slave, as far as I am far away from Alpha Jason. I never knew that there is a wolf in existence that is capable of hating me the way he does. I know he is your Alpha and I am sorry to say this but he is a heartless person,” Jane said heatedly and that hurt but I stilled myself against it. I should be happy. I wanted her to hate me but my wolf didn't like that she spoke that way about us.

“Don't talk like that,” Shane said.

“It is true. I am seriously considering escaping from here before I turn eighteen or escape after I have gotten my wolf. It would make it easier,” Jane said.

"What about baby Hilda?" Shane asked and I heard Jane sigh sadly.

"Believe me, baby Hilda is the only thing keeping me sane around here. If not for her, I would have poisoned myself a long time ago. My parents are gone, Luna Hilda is gone, I am better off dead but the thought of baby Hilda is what is holding me back," Jane said.

“I thought we have talked about you considering suicide right? You promised me you wouldn't result to that,” Shane said with slight panic in his voice.

“If I will poison myself, then I will have to poison baby Hilda too so that we will both die together but I can't take a child's life so selfishly,” Jane said and I sighed not knowing why I sighed but it was a sigh of relief.

“I am glad you know you can't do that,” Shane said sounding very relieved.

“I wished Luna Hilda had bequeathed me to you instead. I would have learned to love you. You are such a good person Shane,” Jane said making jealousy coil inside me like a snake.

“I would have gladly accepted you and quit looking for my mate. Any man will be lucky to have you Jane, you are a rare breed,” Shane said and I heard Jane chuckle.

I didn't like that. So I thought I heard enough and decided to stop their discussion. It was going in the direction that angered me and my wolf.

I opened the door and burst in. Shane was sitting next to Jane holding her hands while the baby was sleeping. They both jumped to their feet when they saw me. There was a look of surprise on Shane’s face but Jane looked so scared that her face went all white as if she was short of oxygen.

"Excuse us," I said to Shane. Shane didn't argue. He only glanced apologetically at Jane once before he hurriedly left without looking back.

"Alpha. We were just talking," Jane stammered the moment Shane closed the door. She glanced briefly at the sleeping baby before looking back at me.

"Yes. I get that," I said and started walking towards her making her step back till the back of her legs hit the chair and she sat down with a thud. "And I heard you are willing to sell yourself off to an Alpha as s*x slave just to be far away from me. If you dare run away from this pack, I will find you then tie you to a pole and flog you until your skin peels off. Then I will take each and everyone who partakes in helping you escape then pluck their eyes out of their heads in your presence and feed it to you," I said breathing hard.

She was shivering as I spoke which made her scent more obvious in the room. I needed to get out of there immediately. Else I was going to pull her close and kiss her.

My wolf was going into a frenzy as he looked at her in distress. Her scent was maddening. Tears flowed down her eyes as her eyes grew rounder with every gothic picture I painted for her.

My wolf whimpered at how pathetic I was making our mate feel. He fought to take over control and console her but I kept a tight leash on him.

“I I am sorry Alpha,” Jane said lifting teary face up and looking at me. I couldn't say anything as I just stared into her innocent baby blue eyes.

Her red full lips were calling me to have a taste. Her scent wrapped around me like a shawl but I fought it. No! I was not going to give in. Never!

I staggered out of the room as my head began to hurt. She wasn't even eighteen yet and her scent was attacking my senses. I only hope I could win this battle. But whatever it was, I wasn't going to give in. I wasn't going to let Jane replace Hilda. Never!

That feeling was unacceptable. Loving her was unacceptable, pleasuring her was unacceptable. Even just being friendly with her was totally unacceptable. Mate bond be damned! Feeling soft towards her was totally unacceptable.
