Jaxon

When I left Skye the note saying I was leaving on pack business, it was a lie.

I drove to my family's cabin in the mountains instead—a place I haven't been since before I took over for my father as Alpha. It’s the only place far enough from the pack that I could think without the weight of responsibility, of expectations, of Skye's hurt eyes following me through every room of the Alpha house.

I spent two days there. Two days forcing myself to confront truths I'd been avoiding for three yea

  • Pursuing My Rejected Luna   Chapter 68

    SkyeThe date of the summit is approaching fast. Too fast. There’s not enough time to prepare myself mentally for the challenge of managing Jaxon's jealousy and Nicolai's presence while maintaining the facade I agreed to with Jaxon.How am I supposed to figure out how to survive a weekend where everything I've been carefully controlling could explode in my face?I'm standing in front of my closet, reviewing my wardrobe options, when Jaxon appears in the doorway."I got you something," he says, holding out a small box.Another gift.I take it, already knowing I'll feel nothing when I open it. And as I suspected, inside is a delicate gold necklace with a small pendant. Expensive. Tasteful. Completely generic."Thank you," I say. "It's very pretty."I close the box. Set it on the dresser with the diamond bracelet I haven't worn. Is it heartless and ungrateful? Probably. I’m just too tired of pretending to care. Jaxon's face falls slightly. "You don't like it.""It's beautiful. Really."

    JaxonI’m not sure why I’m surprised when the news reaches me that Nicolai Woolf is still in the area. Even if Skye is telling the truth, that she feels nothing more than friendship for the Alpha, it clearly isn’t mutual. Anyone with eyes can tell he’s lusting after my wife. The jealousy that hits me is consuming. I find myself watching Skye constantly. Looking for signs that she's in contact with him.Is she texting him? Calling him? Making plans?I promised not to monitor her. Promised to give her space and trust. But the temptation is overwhelming.I catch myself checking to see if she's on her phone every chance I get. Tracking who she talks to and for how long. Noting when she steps away to take calls.It's exactly what I promised not to do but I can't seem to stop.Skye may not have noticed yet, but my Beta certainly has. He corners me in my office for the sole purpose of calling me out on my shit."You're doing it again."I look up from the reports I'm not actually reading. "

    JaxonI'm failing.The realization hits me as I stand in an upscale boutique in town, staring at display cases full of jewelry with no idea what I should choose. Does Skye even wear jewelry?I'm trying to court my own mate, and I have no idea how. Fuck me sideways!"Can I help you find something?" The saleswoman approaches with a professional smile."I need a gift. For my wife.""Wonderful! What does she like? What's her style?"I open my mouth. Close it.What does Skye like?"She's... elegant," I try. "Classic."The saleswoman's smile doesn't waver, but I can see the pity in her eyes. She's dealt with husbands like me before. Husbands who know nothing about their wives."How about this?" She pulls out a diamond bracelet. Delicate. Expensive. The kind of thing that screams "I spent a lot of money because I don't know what else to do.""Perfect," I say, because what else can I say?I buy it. It costs more than most pack members make in a year. And it feels completely hollow.But it’s th

    SkyeLater that day, I'm in the garden when Jaxon finds me."Did you know Woolf is still in the area?" His fists are clenched at his sides like he’s been fighting himself not to ask and lost the battle. I look up from the roses I've been absently tending. "Yes."No point in lying.Jaxon nods slowly, his jaw tight. "I know you've been in contact with him. I know he's important to you."Here it comes. The jealousy. The accusations.But Jaxon surprises me."I can't ask you to cut him off," he says quietly. "I know that's not fair and violates our agreement. But I need to ask one more time... is there something between you?""We're friends," I say honestly. "That's all.""But you care about him."It's not a question."Yes. As a friend." I meet his eyes. "The same way you care about Noah. Nicolai has been there for me when I had no one else. He helped my family when you refused. He's been kind when kindness was scarce."Jaxon's jaw clenches, but his voice stays level. "I understand.""Do y

    SkyeI stare down at Jaxon kneeling on our bedroom floor, and I don't know what to feel.Anger? Vindication that he's finally admitting he was wrong? Exhaustion at the thought of trying again?All of the above?I just agreed to give him a chance. Said the words out loud. And now I have to figure out what that actually means.Jaxon stands slowly, his eyes never leaving my face. Searching for something—hope, maybe, or forgiveness I'm not sure I can give."Thank you," he says quietly. "For this chance. I know I don't deserve it.""No," I agree. "You don't."He flinches, but doesn't argue."I'm going to give you space," he says. "Like you asked. But Skye? I meant what I said. I'm going to try. Really try.""We'll see."He nods once, then leaves, closing the door quietly behind him.And I'm alone.I sink onto the edge of the bed, pressing my hands to my face.What did I just agree to?Giving Jaxon time. Another chance. After three years of coldness and neglect and outright cruelty.I don't

    JaxonOnce we're alone in our bedroom, I don't know how to start.I've rehearsed this conversation a dozen times in my head. But now, facing her, all my carefully planned words evaporate."I went to the cabin," I blurt out. "To think.""Your note said you left on pack business." She states the fact flatly, like the falsehood doesn’t surprise her. "I lied. It wasn't pack business." I run a hand through my hair. "I needed to get away. To figure out what I've been doing wrong. And I realized... I've been doing everything wrong."Skye crosses her arms, waiting."From the beginning, when I accused you of drugging me," I continue. "After your Shifting Party when the bond snapped into place and we mated… I woke up the next morning feeling so groggy, with only flashes of memory. I felt so out of control. I was so convinced you'd manipulated me somehow. Forced the bond.""I know." Her voice is cold. "You told me that. Multiple times.""I know. But I never... I never really listened to your den
