Jax's POV

I woke before dawn.

Kai was still asleep, curled against my side. His face was peaceful in the dim light, the tension gone from his brow. I watched him for a long moment, my chest aching with how much I loved him.

Then I slipped out of bed and dressed quietly.

I had something to do.

The walk to Selene's camp took twenty minutes. She had set up on the edge of my territory, just close enough to be a threat, just far enough to claim she was respecting my borders.

  • Desperate Omega Seduces the Cold Enigma for his protection   Chapter 47: The Full Claim

    Jax's POV The cabin was empty now. Knox had fled. Marcus was dead. The guards were scattered in the snow outside. The only sounds were the crackling of the fire and Kai's shaky breathing in my arms. I held him for a long time. Just held him. Letting the warmth of his body remind me that he was still here. Still alive. Still mine. His hands were gripping my shirt so tightly his knuckles were white. "Jax," he whispered. "You're bleeding." I looked down at my shoulder. The bullet had grazed me, tearing through skin and muscle. Blood was soaking through my shirt. I had barely felt it. Adrenaline had drowned out the pain. Now it was starting to ache. "It's nothing," I said. "Just a scratch." "It's not nothing." He pulled back and looked at me. His eyes were

    Kai's POVI woke up in chains.My head was pounding. My arms were tied above my head, the chains attached to a ring in the ceiling. I was in a small room, made of rough stone.And Knox was there.He was sitting in a chair, watching me. His eyes were cold and hungry."You're awake," he said. "Good. I was worried I hit you too hard."I struggled against the chains. They didn't budge."Let me go," I said. My voice was hoarse."I don't think so." He stood up and walked toward me. "You've caused me a lot of trouble, Kai. Running away. Making me look weak. Falling in love with that enigma.""I didn't fall in love with him. I chose him. I chose to leave you."His face twisted. "You don't get to choose. You're mine.""I'm not yours. I was never yours."He slapped me. My head snapped to the side. I tasted blood."You were mine for five years," he said. "Five years of taking ca

  • Desperate Omega Seduces the Cold Enigma for his protection   Chapter 45: The Kidnapping Attempt

    Jax's POVWe made camp an hour before sunset.The council lands were far behind us. The forest around us was unfamiliar, a stretch of neutral territory between territories. We had pushed the horses hard all day, trying to put as much distance between us and the council chamber as possible.Kai was exhausted. I could see it in the way he moved, the way his shoulders slumped as he slid off his horse. He tried to hide it, but I knew him too well now."Rest," I said. "I'll set up camp."He nodded and sank onto a fallen log. His eyes were already half-closed.I worked quickly, building a small fire and laying out our bedrolls. The night air was cold, and I wanted to make sure we stayed warm.When I was done, I sat beside him and put my arm around him. He leaned into me, his head resting on my shoulder."We made it," he said quietly. "We actually made it.""We made it," I agreed.He was silent for a

    Kai's POVThey led us to an empty room.I sat on a cold stone bench, my hands trembling in my lap. Jax paced beside me, his jaw tight."One hour," I said. "How are they going to decide in one hour?""I don't know." He stopped and looked at me. "But whatever happens, I'm not letting them take you."I wanted to believe him. I did. But I could still see Knox's face in my mind. That smug, confident look. Like he already knew he had won."What if they rule against us?" I asked."Then we fight.""Fight? Jax, there are fourteen council members. And Knox. And Ronan. We can't fight all of them.""I don't care." He knelt in front of me and took my hands. "I don't care how many of them there are. I am not going to let them take you."I felt tears prick at my eyes. "I don't want you to get hurt because of me.""You are not the reason I would be hurt," he said. "They would be the reason. And I am n

    Jax's POVThe council chamber was cold.I had expected that. The building was old stone, built centuries ago when the pack laws were first written. The walls were thick. The windows were narrow. Even with the fire burning in the massive hearth, the chill never quite left the air.I stood at the entrance with Kai beside me, my hand resting on the small of his back. He was trembling. I could feel it through his coat."Breathe," I murmured.He nodded, but his eyes were fixed on the room ahead.The chamber was arranged in a semicircle. Fourteen seats for the council members, arranged in rising tiers like a theater. Each seat was occupied by an alpha from a different territory. Each one was watching us with cold, calculating eyes.At the center, on the lowest tier, sat the head of the council. An ancient alpha named Thorne. His hair was white. His face was lined. But his eyes were sharp as knives."Alpha Jax Wilder," Thorne said. His voice was thin but carried through the room. "You have b

I had seen him put the letter down with both hands like he needed to be de
