Chapter 5: She is mine

Jaxon’s Point of view

A pain shot through my chest as I saw her sprint outside carrying the undifferentiated boy who resembled me exactly. I made a light touch to my chest as I clenched my fist and chiseled my jawline. Since the death of my parents, my heart had been a stone and I had never spoken about the emotions that run through my blood anymore, so the strange distress I experienced seemed like a difficult-to-explain scientific study.

‘Mate…’

‘My mate…’

The moment Black, my wolf, began to purr in my head, I stood still. He struggled to shift with me as my veins began to show, my razor-sharp nails, and my fangs protruded.

‘Black, hold it! She cannot be, Agh! She doesn't have a wolf in her! I sense no any!’ I tried to close my eyes and fight against his attempts to take over me. ‘Besides, you are familiar with and have met our mate before.’

‘No, that woman… I know it, Panther, she’s my mate.’

After he said that, he took over my body and changed into a wolf as I closed my eyes. He only once referred to me as Panther, so I knew he was serious when he used that name. He ran downstairs and caught Veronica's scent that couldn’t be deny that smell like a rose white. Nevertheless, as we passed by her smell, we also caught the mingled scent of a Jasmine that blended in the air. The scent of it and a white rose appeared to merge together.

I couldn’t be wrong who owned that smell. But before we got there, I had an experience that nearly tore my soul from my body. My chest tightened with rage, prompting me to holler, "Black, let me!"

Black's action took a split second, and after that he gave my body back to me. In that brief moment, I had Caroline's neck in my one hand and was lifting her into the air while holding the screaming baby in my other arm.

I tightened my grip on her as she shrieked nonstop. I didn't let her go despite the fact that she was having trouble breathing and was attempting to shake off my hand. I could clearly see the marks of her nails on the baby's neck. I looked over at Veronica, who was now unconscious and lying on the muddy ground.

"Caroline, you've gone overboard. You did something that you shouldn't have done," I said, uttering those words without even a hint of sentimentality. There was nothing but ice and my current compulsion to kill “my mate” left. "How dare you... hurt my child!"

I hurled her firmly at the car. She writhed in agony as her back hit the glass and its sturdy metal crumpled. However, notwithstanding the fact that I could see her nearly bloodless face, I still wanted to torture her more.

Caroline gasped for air and voiced, "A-Alpha... Haaa."

My breath became pant with anger. I saw that she was buying some time to gather herself, so without thinking, I sprinted over to her and stepped on her legs.

“Ahhhhhhh!” She cried out in a loud voice, but I searched every nook and cranny of my heart and mind for any sign of mercy.

I turned to face the infant once more and noticed that he was awake and staring at me with innocent blue eyes. After Caroline's drawl screamed, I had continued to press my foot firmly against her legs. And when I stared at the child in my arms, he finally smiled at me as if he also liked the scream.

“That’s right, my child. You should desire blood. You must thirst from it.” I touched his cheek and kissed it. “Indeed, you came from me.”

I looked behind me when I sensed the arrival of my warriors. Their heads were slightly bowed, and I could see that they were reluctant. I gave an order after noticing that Uriel was also with them. "Uriel, call the doctor, help Caroline and put her in silver jail."

"Yes, Alpha."

I picked up Veronica without waiting for them to do anything and carried her on my shoulder like a bag of rice.

When we got to the room, I threw her on the bed, but she was still unconscious. Any Alpha could desire her because of the still-innocent appearance of her face. Her lips and eyelashes seem to be luring you to kiss her. She had a knife-like nose. No matter how closely I examined her, I was unable to escape the conclusion that she resembled a Moon Descendant.

Once more, I touched the little one in my arms out of fear that I would crash him with a single mistake. Fuck! Although I didn't even know his name, I called him my son. I took another look at his face and tried to take it all in. Except for his skin tone, he inherited all of his features from me. While her mother's skin was as white as a sheet, mine was tanned.

“What's your name, young man? Tell me, what did your stupid mom name you?" I gently pressed his little chin and lightly pressed his soft lips. I was mistaken in anticipating that she would cry as a result of what I did, instead, he waved his hand and foot while laughing in a small voice. I scowled when he did not answer and asked again, "Tell me, quickly! What is your name? What did your stupid mom give you? How can you, who's sweet and soft tiny one like you come from this vigorous woman like your mother?"

“It’s Morgan.”

I turned to the speaker. I initially failed to realise that she was awake, but not even a minute later did I change my expression to one of stern determination and quip, "Oh, you're awake. Take him. My arms have become numb because of him."

Before she took the baby from my arms, she annoyingly spoke, "For your information, the baby doesn't speak right away. Why would you expect him to answer just because you asked? Are you stupid?" She turned away after giving me a playful smile and sticking out her tongue like a child. My ears turned red because of it and before I could respond again, she opened the door and went out.

"Hey, where are you going?!"

She answered me as she descended the stairs, "Somewhere far where I can’t see even a single strand of your hair!"

"What?!” My veins suddenly appeared on my neck. “How dare you suddenly leave after I saved you without even saying thank you!"

"Then, thank you, you jerk!”

"Fuck! What did you say?! Do you desire death?” I ran so I could keep up to her pace and stopped her. “Perhaps you've forgotten that you are on my territory!”

"That's why I want to leave because I can't stand the fact that we are breathing the same air!"

I immediately ran after hearing what she said, blocking her way. I gave her a look that would stab her in the heart. She was already at the main door and about to leave, but when I stepped in front of her, she retreated. She rejected all of my glare instead of being afraid of what I did.

She rolled her eyes and kept moving back. "Wasn't it just now that you were in too much of a hurry to get us out and you didn't want to take on responsibilities? Why are you here now? I won't chase you if you don't want to, so can you let us go?"

When I watched her did that rolling eyes, something in my heart leaped. Her white eyes like that seemed to be better at my bed as I imagined her moaning and panting for my every thrust. I gulped many time, and fuck, I’m getting hard!

I shook all that feelings and ideas. After that, I quickly mind-linked my pack members to gather them for an announcement. I then took the child into Veronica’s arms. I could tell she was about to say something, but I dragged her hand to the top floor where I would make the announcement before letting her speak.

When we finally reached the top, I step up and saw my pack, including the servants. As soon as they saw me, they quickly knelt down and bowed their heads. With the exception of the spies I sent in various packs, they were almost completed.

"You're allowed to lift your heads and stand up!"

They went after it. When I noticed Veronica's surprised expression, I tightly gripped her hand and lifted it up. I faced everyone and saw the surprise in their eyes, but they said nothing.

"To the Dark Blood pack who were devoted to my reign, I want to express to you about this woman." As I continued to hold Veronica, I felt her struggle, everyone dropped their jaw, anticipating what would I said next. Without waiting for anything more, I continued, “No one can touch her, every drop of blood that comes out of her will cost of your lives; whether I reject her or keep her by my side, this woman is mine."
