SHOCK ON JAXON

ADELINE

Ever since I locked myself in my room, Debra has been feeding me daily, three square meals and sometimes serving me 10AM and 4PM tea and snacks. Sometimes I send her away but she insists that I should take the food so as not to infuriate Alpha Wayne. Since Debra is like a mother to me, I just allow her in, tell her to place the food on the table and leave, promising her to eat it as soon as I can.

Debra has been trying to talk to me and encourage me to step out of my room but her pleas always fall on deaf ears. I've already shared my predicament with her, since the beginning when I met Jaxon with the girl, his rejection to me, up till when I tried to escape and then finding Jaxon with a girl in his room, angrily rejecting him and all that. I make sure to keep her on toes about everything that happened since Jaxon rejected me.

So far, she has been so supportive of me and I'll always see her as my mom, always.

This is the third day since I locked myself inside this room and I'm already missing the outside world. I've been watching the Pack members as they go on with their activities through my window and I've already started envying them. I wish I was out there, going on with my usual activities, I'm sure that will help me get rid of all this stress!

This morning, Debra brought me breakfast and I ate everything, something that made her happy for seeing me eating without being pushed or persuaded. Deep inside, I had a feeling that something good would happen. I wasn't far from the truth!

After breakfast, I take a long shower and then dress up, ready for the day. I'm tired of locking myself in here and I've made up my mind to go and resume my duties as a Pack House maid. However, I don't get out of my room immediately. Instead, I lie on the couch scrolling through my smartphone which I only get to use at night. I don't have any social media account therefore I decide to get out of my shell and open a F******k account as well as an I*******m account.

That process takes almost an hour or two and before I know it, it's already ten in the morning. I sit up on the couch and stretch myself then keep my phone away. I'm now ready to go out there and make something out of my life.

One thing about Alpha Waylon is that he has provided a bit of luxury to his domestic workers and he has ensured that our quarters have comfortable living conditions, that's why I have a comfortable bed, a leather couch and a walk-in closet. I also have a bathroom inside my room, just like other workers' rooms.

I close the door to my room behind me upon exit and head towards the Pack House's living room so as to go to the kitchen to join Debra and the rest.

The Pack House living room is already in view and something catches my attention; some sweet aroma coming from the living room. It's kind of a scent, a masculine vanilla cologne like scent, lilies and wild roses mixed with coffee and cardamom. It's a wild range of scents and I'm already confused wondering what Debra is preparing that smells so good!

I'm about to call out Debra's name when I spot Alpha Waylon seated on the couch holding his laptop. Upon closer scrutiny, he's no longer working on it, instead he looks up and our eyes meet. That's when I realize that the scent is coming from him. It's so strong such that I feel like running to him and hug him, only to inhale the mixture of scents.

Wait a minute!

Alpha Waylon has just dropped his laptop on the couch and he's now walking towards me, smelling all sweet and intoxicating. Something pulls me towards him like a magnet, and before I realize it, the word 'mate' rolls out of my tongue as if it's the only existing word in my mind. It feels so good calling him that... as if I've been practicing it all my life.

Wait a moment.... Is Alpha Waylon my mate? My second chance mate for that matter? Oh goodness! So my mother, the moon goddess was right after all? So it wasn't just but a mere dream and that she meant her words? Everything that she said to me in that vision sort of a dream wasn't just bluff?

"Mate." The Alpha reciprocates as he walks towards me. I'm also walking towards him, smiling sheepishly, excitement plastered all over my face. My dreams have finally turned into reality.

We suddenly embrace each other, both of us getting lost into our own little world.

Clapping, shouts and congratulations messages are heard,all coming from the kitchen door and upon taking a glance, I spot Debra and some Pack House staff standing there. I'm also surprised to see Pamela among them. I suddenly wonder what she's doing there yet she's now the Top Warrior's son's mate.

As I contemplate on everything, Alpha Waylon Hunter claims me as his mate and without wasting time, I claim him back, accepting him with all that I have and from the bottom of my heart!

More shouts, clapping and congratulations are heard from the Pack house staff but all I do is sob and sob as the Alpha carries me bridal style to the couch. I lean on his chest and cry my lungs out.

I sit on the alpha's lap as I continue sobbing and thanking mother goddess for fulfilling her promise towards me. I thank her for giving me a second chance mate, something I don't take for granted.

I thank the Alpha for not rejecting me and he assures me of his love, care and protection always. Both of us are happy for being given another chance in life, having met and claimed each other as second chance mates!

Debra and the rest won't stop congratulating us. They all speak great things in our lives and all of them genuinely bless our union. Debra brings a tray with a bowl full of popcorn for us and I immediately get off the alpha's laps and stand on my feet. I hug her and then go ahead to hug the other girls who are standing nearby, seemingly happy for us. I'm so excited!

Alpha Waylon Hunter thanks Debra for the popcorn then calls me to join him and have our first meal together. Even though it's not a meal on its own but just a snack, I willingly walk back to the couch, donning a broad smile. He calls me "baby" and to say I'm excited is an understatement... I'm extremely happy, beyond measure!

I'm about to sit on the couch but the Alpha pulls me, making me sit on his lap and immediately I settle on his lap, I hear someone talking from the stairs.

"Baby?" Jaxon exclaims, making us to focus our attention on him.

"Jaxon?" His father calls out. "I'm glad you've finally stepped out of your room and decided to go out there and be useful!" He adds.

"Dad, why are you calling her baby and why is she on your laps?" Jaxon asks, seemingly confused and eager at the same time.

One look at Jaxon and I can't help but pity him for looking so disheveled and rough. He seems to have aged a bit and I'm surprised to hear that he has been locked in his room, just like myself. He looks.... different!

"Well," Alpha Waylon clears his throat. "If you must know, Adeline here is my mate and we've just discovered that and we've already claimed each other as mates!" His father explains.

"What?" Jaxon exclaims. "This can't be!" He adds then turns, running back upstairs to his room.
