The Forbidden Mate

Chapter 3: A Fathers Love

Didn't take long till Jaxson pulled into his driveway and unloaded the car.Jaxson figured it was late enough so he took Rosalie to bed, He cuddled up to her not wanting to sleep alone. They both fell into a deep sleep. Days go by and Jaxson adjusts well with taking care of his little girl. Everything goes just as planned for the next few years. Rosalie is growing and getting so smart. Jaxson doesn't think anything could get any better. Rosalie’s second birthday party went as planned.

Later after the party Jaxson settles Rosalie down and helps her get ready for bed. He snuggles her in, and kisses her head then walks out shutting the door behind him. As he walks down the hall he hears the phone ring. Answering the phone on the third ring “hello” Jaxson says. He listens as goosebumps raise all over his body. On the phone was a voice he has never heard before, but that's not what was bothering him, it's what the voice said.

The man on the phone repeats himself over and over then hangs up. Jaxson conestly replays in his head what the man had just said "I'm after the child that bears the crescent moon". Something in Jaxson’s gut tells him to go back and check on Rosalie as soon as he reaches the door chills run down his body and the feeling of something isn't right. He yanks open the door seeing a figure standing in the window. It appears to be a man ,but how could a simple man be standing in the second story window he thought to himself.

Confusion floods his mind but Jaxson quickly reverts his attention to the safty daughter. Jaxson charges at the figure.hitting it square in the gut forcing both the figure and himself out the window falling to the ground. As they crash onto the ground you can hear bone shatter and limps break. Jaxson, over powering the pain, quickly jumps up and converts to his wolf form and barks out “what are you and why are you here?” the man floats back up and stands facing Jaxson “ I'm Hyden and I'm here for the girl.”

The man looks Jaxson straight in the eyes and glares “ as for what i am. I am the worst type of person you could ever come across. I am a falling angel” he gloats. Jaxson seems to be in disbelief; he then looks as if he is going to be sick and whispers mainly to himself “ I thought falling angels were just stories to get us kids to behave”.

Smiling from ear to ear Hyden chuckles “silly pup” Hyden lifts his arms, making flames engulf Jaxson. Jaxson quickly prepares to jump the flames. Hyden waves his hand and the flames close in tighter. Jaxson jumps as hard and he can feel the flames scorching his back legs and tail. With the smell of burning fur and flesh filling the air around them.

Jaxson growls out at Hyden “fight like a man or are you too cowardly. i'll rip you to shreds either way.” he then lunges at Hyden clamping down on his shoulder biting as hard as he can tearing the flesh to shred, blood gushes out and soaks Hyden’s shirt within seconds. They continue aggressively fighting for hours, blood and ashes now covers the ground. Both look as if they have done walk a mile in hell. Jaxson thinks about his sleeping daughter and that he must protect her no matter what. He then lunges, not paying any attention that Hyden was prepared for him to attack. As soon as his body hits Hyden he lets out a garling howl. Hyden had just rammed his hand inside Jaxson's chest and in the blink of an eye crushes his heart.

Hyden drops him to the ground, gasping for Jaxson managed to cut in his jugular with his claws. Hyden drops to his knees as blood shoots out and pours down, his body. Falling over he inhales one last time. Meanwhile Jaxson's body had morphed back to his human form laying there with a whole in his chest and eyes glazed over. Hyden was gone Rosalie was safe but at the cost of her father. Rosalie still sleeping in her bed has no ideal what she is about to wake up to.
