6. Feeling her (Jax POV)

Jax’s POV:

(At the same time as the wedding takes place and Amelia is being reborn.)

Today’s her wedding, and it’s driving me insane. The word about Drake finally marrying his mate spread fast, striking me hard. Although he’s shielding her from the world and especially me, he made sure everyone would know the mighty Alpha is finally marrying. An official Luna at his side will only strengthen his packs position even more.

His mate…… I want to punch and shred anything getting in my way right now, just for him claiming her to be that. She’s my mate, and after all the attempts I have made to come closer up to her and the way he’s doing everything in his power to prevent it, shows me he must know it too.

I’m not sure about his reasons. Maybe he wants to weaken me and my pack even more by not letting me have my soulmate. Other than that, it doesn’t make much sense. Then again, even before I saw her from afar on that life changing day, I knew he’s done everything to keep her secluded. Everyone knows it.

Through my sources, I know why she thinks he's her mate, which only makes me hate him even more.

Time after time I’ve tried getting close to her, but I have been failing miserably.

We’ve been attacking the borders for days again, trying to find a weak spot, to strike at the right moment. But their defence is sadly way too good. There have been rumours that Amelia herself has a major part in building up their defence. Does she even know, she’s building her own trap? Does she know this is how he’s holding her captive? Not that she’d realise she’s captivated.

It hurts so badly, not being able to get closer to her. I crave being with her so bad that it’s driving me insane.

I pace back and forth through the room, trying to figure out what to do.

My sources have shown me everything, and I know I have to wait for the right time. But it’s driving utterly insane.

Suddenly, my wolf tenses, and I feel all agitated. She’s in total distress, I can feel it through the connection. She’s totally panicked. Something has changed. Things have shifted.

While I could feel her all along, this feels different now. It’s as if a door has been opened, that has been closed on me before. An extremely strong source of power comes through the onesided connection.

Is this it? Is it happening? Is this the time of her rebirth? Will she remember everything?

I feel like I’m going out of my mind right now. Without it being under my control, I shift into my wolf form and start running for the border. My Beta is hot on my heels, trying to hold me back, but I keep shaking him off, partially even snapping at him. My wolf is out of control longing for his mate.

“Brother, back down,” I hear him warn me.

But every rational thought seems to have gone lost with her being so distressed. Did something happen during the wedding? Or is this finally what I’ve been waiting for?

“She needs me,” I growl at him, while he’s trying to hold me back.

We’re shortly before the border as I feel her relax a little. But there’s a lot of confusement on her side. With my Beta still trying to prevent me from crossing the border, I slow down a little.

“We’re trying to get through, I promise we'll find a way. But let our warriors take care of that. Don’t be blindsided and run into a trap yourself. You know he wants you dead. Don't make it this easy for him.”

With Amelia slowly calming down a little, I’m able to think a little more rational. He’s right. We’ve been trying and pushing for days. If I keep running like this out of my mind, I’m not going to achieve anything.

I come to a halt right at the borders.

“I need to send her a sign,” I tell him breathless, already knowing what it has to be.

Both of us know whom to contact for that, and he nods in agreement. With a plan at hand, I reluctantly turn on my heels, throwing one more glance towards the border at the woods.

This is finally happening.
