Chapter 2

Jaxon's POV

For reasons best known to my wolf Liam, he requested that we take a walk in the woods alone tonight. Ever since I received news of the collision taking place at the nearby regions two nights ago, I have been up and busy.

Liam must be as tired as I am, which is why I didn't deny him. I will probably shift later on and let him have all the fun in the world.

“Come on, Liam, it's time to return to the pack. I'm sure the guards and Grayson must be wondering where I am now. I do not want a search party taking place for me.” I explained to Liam, but he seemed very reluctant to leave.

All of a sudden, I felt someone pass by the trees, and my curiosity peeked. I stood up and stood still for a while. I didn't feel any sense of danger, so I relaxed a little bit.

My lips curved up into a smile as my nose was filled with the scent of the she wolf playing in the woods. My wolf growled within me, and I felt the same.

Now I'm the one who is not ready to leave the woods. I sniffed the air so I wouldn't lose track of her.

Finally, she stopped running and stopped by a tree. The full moon shone on her body, giving me the opportunity to see who it was. My face fell as I recognized the familiar figure in front of me.

Elena….

The daughter of one of the council elders. I shook my head and wanted to turn back, but my legs couldn't move. I couldn't control my body and wondered what might be going on.

All of a sudden, Elena turned and stood in front of me.

“Mate…” I heard the words fall out of her mouth so loud and clear.

My wolf leapt for joy, and my eyes widened with shock. I shook my head, not wanting to say the word. But my body vibrated as the force nature overwhelmed me.

“Mate…” I spurred out and snorted in anger.

“Impossible…” I whispered, and she looked up at me, her eyes filled with sadness.

“Alpha Jaxon!” I heard her voice tremble as she walked closer to me. I could feel her breathe shaking, and I had no idea what to do with her.

She immediately went on her knees with her head bowed, her body shaking and trembling. I couldn't bring myself to say a word to her.

I just stood there staring at the scared girl who was afraid of her alpha, who happens to be her mate. I shut my eyes in frustration and tugged down at the collar of my shirt.

I exhaled sharply and walked out of the woods without sparing her another glance.

My wolf wanted to protest, but I didn't give room for any weakness. I stormed out of the wood, unable to believe what had just happened to me.

“Alpha Jaxon?” I heard Grayson calling for me as I stepped into the pack estate, but I wasn't in the mood to speak to him, so I just walked by.

“Not now, Grayson. I don't want to talk to anyone. Have the maids prepare my bath, I would like to go to bed immediately.” I ordered as I walked away.

“Yes alpha!” Grayson bowed his head without asking any further questions.

The maids prepared my bath just like I requested. I took my bath, got changed into my night robe, and laid there on the bed.

I managed to close my eyes, but sleep would not come. I even tried to serenading myself to sleep, but nothing I was doing was working. The wolf bond was pulling and calling me, and Liam was not helping matters.

He wants that she wolf badly, but I don't want her. After hours of tossing and turning, I finally gave up and stood up from the bed. I walked to the window and noticed the moon was still shining.

“Aargghh! I groaned and stamped my feet on the floor. I walked to the door and heaved a deep sigh.

“Get my beta now.” I ordered, knowing the guards would be there listening.

“Alpha Jaxon!” I heard Grayson's voice from outside the door.

“Come inside.” I said to him, and the door to my room flung open.

“I need you to get me Elena right now. Once she arrives, send her in here.” I ordered, and Grayson looked at me with his eyes filled with questions.

“I know you have a lot of questions, but I'm not willing to answer them yet. Just get me Elena right now.” I said to him.

“Elena… daughter of one of the council members?” Grayson asked to be sure, and I nodded my head.

“Yes that one.” I said, and he bowed his head before leaving my room.

I inhaled sharply, feeling really uncomfortable all over. I could feel the heat of desire and lust spread all over me, and I didn't know how to react to it. I have never felt this way before, and it's honestly driving me insane.

“I should wait in the garden,” I murmured and made down to the garden.

Thirty minutes later, I heard approaching footsteps and turned, knowing who it was already.

“Alpha Jaxon, she's in your room already.” Grayson revealed, and I nodded my head.

I heaved a deep sigh for the umpteenth time and made way to my private bedroom. Getting to the door, I paused, unsure whether or not to continue with what I have in mind.

“Fuck!!” I cursed and slammed the door open. I heard her gasp and flinched on the bed. My eyes softened as I saw her, and I could feel the raw emotions oozing out of me.

“Undress…” I ordered.
