Jaxon

Rena directs me to the nursery as soon as I arrive for my weekly visit with Skye and our unborn pup. She doesn’t walk me through, assuming I know the way. Odd, since normally I’m treated like a spy attempting to steal state secrets the minute I show up to the gate.

The nursery door is partially open when I make it upstairs. I hear them before I see them—Skye's voice, dry and patient, and Nicolai's, which carries the tone of a man arguing with an inanimate object and losing.

I push the door

Why is everyone so invested in Jaxon? He left her to a slow, miserable death alone in a blizzard with no hesitation. Even if he feels bad for it and is trying to make it up, there are actions people can take that are SUPPOSED to be permanent deal breakers to anyone with sense.

I don't know why she is treating Jaxon so badly, he is the father not Nico. I have a feeling Nico is up to something to help break them apart.

  • Pursuing My Rejected Luna   Ch. 59

    CassandraLiam is fine at dinner. I know this, because if he weren’t, it would be about the only thing that could drag my attention away from my conversation with Noah earlier today. I mean, what the actual fuck?! Who does he think he is? I’ve done everything he’s asked of me. I play by his rules. I do my best to stay the hell out of his way. And he let me.But now that I’m slowly inching toward some semblance of happiness, he won’t stay out of mine. Well that’s bullshit! I fucked up, I admit that, but does it mean I have to pay for it forever? He seems happy with Piper. If he still feels the bond even a fraction as much as I do, he has to know that guts me. Why can’t he take that for the win it is and leave me the hell alone?I force my attention back to my son, who deserves it infinitely more than Noah does. He eats most of his plate—there's a negotiation with Mara about dessert that he wins on the technical grounds that he finished his vegetables, which is honestly some kind of m

  • Pursuing My Rejected Luna   Ch. 58

    Noah The next morning I run into her again. Because of course I do. Just us—the kind of unfortunate timing that seems to plague my existence lately.Do not open your mouth, I tell myself."I saw you last night," I blurt out anyway.She jerks to a stop, looking startled."I know. Jack invited me." She shrugs like that explains everything."You want to tell me what that is?" The words are already out. I can hear how they sound. I can't stop them."What what is?" She looks genuinely perplexed."You and Morrow." I try to keep the growl out of my tone but I’m not sure I succeed. She looks at me steadily. Not defensive. More like a deer staring down a hunter, wondering if she should run. "C-, coffee," she stutters. "A few times.""He's a good warrior," I repeat. "Solid. Reliable." I'd said this to her already, yesterday morning, and I'm saying it again because apparently I'm going to do this. "He doesn't know what he's in the middle of." I hold her gaze, glaring at her accusingly. "You're

    NoahAre you fucking kidding me? Why can’t I seem to go anywhere, in my own fucking home, without seeing them? I’m just walking down the hall, to my own Goddess-damned pack event and there they are. My first thought—before I can stop it, before any of the control I've been practicing has a chance to engage—is: she's laughing. Not the polite, practiced version reserved for social occasions either. Not the timid chuckles she offers the pack members who've started to warm to her. The real kind—surprised, unguarded, the kind that changes her face completely because she’s relaxed enough to let it.I've never seen that before.I don't like finding out it exists because of Jack Morrow.They're not even doing anything. That's the part that makes it so much worse. He’s not even touching her and it still pisses me the fuck off.If there were something concrete—if they were touching, if the body language were unambiguous—I'd have something to focus all this untethered rage on. But no, it's jus

    CassandraJack comes back to walk me out at the end of day. It’s really becoming a thing he does now—him deciding he's in my orbit and is acting accordingly without making a declaration of it. We walk through the corridor, talking about something of no importance, and we stop at the exterior door.I turn around. He leans in and presses a kiss to my cheek the way he always does. And I’m not sure what makes this time different from all the others, but I find myself wanting more. This time I turn my head and brush my lips against his. It’s soft, innocent, light as a feather. But it feels really nice so I do it again. “Cassie?” He leans back just far enough to look in my eyes and I read the question in his. “Kiss me, Jack.” I say in answer. “For real this time.”He doesn’t hesitate, crushing his lips to mine. Jack kisses me like he can’t get enough, nipping and licking, dominating. He doesn’t wait for permission before slipping his tongue inside and tangling it with mine. “Fuck, you t

  • Pursuing My Rejected Luna   Ch. 55

    Cassandra Jack has just started showing up at the administrative office, leaning in the doorway and saying "ready?" like me agreeing to whatever date he has planned is a foregone conclusion.I suppose it is. I do have a pretty consistent track record of saying yes so far. Still, I wonder if I’ll ever stop being surprised at his beaming smile and the excited expression he wears every time he sees me.I've been braced for him to lose interest since the very first one. I told him everything—the ugly version, no edits—and I half-expected the second invitation to not materialize. It's one thing to listen to someone's history in a private office and decide you're still interested. It's another to show up again once the reality of that history has had a few days to sink.But he keeps showing up anyway. If I didn’t know better, I’d almost think he liked me, checkered past and all. I have to admit it’s a heady feeling. “Thank you.” I say when I realize he’s still standing there, waiting for

    NoahPiper is in the Alpha house when I get back from my appointment with Dr. Lukas. With the mood I’m in, the jury is out on whether or not that’s a good thing. But I’m not surprised to see her there. She's made herself comfortable in the common area connected to my office—she does this sometimes, brings work of her own and keeps me company while I deal with whatever I'm dealing with. I find her curled up on the couch with a book and a cup of tea, and she looks up when I come in with the easy smile, the one she reserves just for me. And I find it does soothe me a little. "You look like you need food," she observes. "Have you eaten?"‘Six months, possibly eight.’ is playing thr0ugh my head on repeat and I have to force myself to focus on her words. "Uh, not since this morning," I stammer."Sit," she orders, doing her best to look stern. "I'll get something from the kitchen."She goes in search of sustenance and I sit at my desk and look at the operational files I'm supposed to be

    Skye The words drop into the silence like stones into still water.Jaxon's eyes narrow. "What did you just say?""You heard me." My hands are steady now, even as my heart splinters. "Whatever sick arrangement you and Cassandra have planned, count me out. I won't be part of this.""You don't mean th

    Skye I can't breathe.The boy—this child who just called my husband daddy—is looking up at Jaxon with complete adoration. And Jaxon... Jaxon isn't denying it. Isn't pushing him away. He's just standing there with his hand on the boy's shoulder, watching me with those cold gray eyes like he's waitin

    Skye Of all the futures I imagined for myself, I never dreamed one day I would have to choose between my husband and my unborn child.My hand trembles as I smooth down the front of my dress—a soft blue one that Jaxon once said he liked. I've spent an hour on my appearance, wanting to look my best

    SkyeThe rumors spread faster than I anticipated.Despite Jaxon's best efforts to contain the narrative—carefully worded statements to the elders, strategic conversations with influential pack members—the truth has a way of seeping through cracks. By the end of my first week back, everyone knows th
