Se connecterI sat at the head of the council hall with Roxy beside me, my hand firmly wrapped around hers. The murmurs that filled the room were louder now, no longer restrained whispers but open reactions to what I had just declared. The light bulbs flickered, casting uneven shadows across the faces of elders and pack representatives seated before me.“I will be marrying Roxy,” I said, my voice steady, carrying across the hall with the authority that came with being High Alpha. “And by that union, her pack will be bound to the clan.”The silence that followed had lasted only a few seconds before the Loud murmur filled the room,some shocked, some curious, and others outright disapproving.Now, as the noise settled into a tense hum, one of the elders rose slowly from his seat.Elder Korrin.The man was old, but his presence still commanded respect. His silver hair was pulled back neatly, and his sharp eyes fixed directly on Julian with unmistakable challenge.“High Alpha,” Korrin began, his tone
Jax’s pov I sat in my office, staring at the documents on my desk, but I was not reading any of them. My mind was on the meeting I wanted to hold today. The decision I made wasn't just for the Willow Pack. It was one that would affect the entire clan. As High Alpha, every move I made carried weight, and I could not afford to make a mistake.I knew the willow pack didn't want to be added to the clan, they enjoyed being an independent pack but the independence had gotten into their head too much. That an Alpha thought to kill his wife.The former high Alpha couldn't convince them to be under the clan , but I wasn't having that, they said I would have to be a member of their pack , so I was going to mate a member, giving them no further excuse.Since Malakai was still missing , I had another beta Nick from the willow pack be a stand-in for him, while searching for him, the affairs of the pack still had to carry on.I leaned back in my chair and exhaled slowly, then I reached for the int
Roxy’s pov I was pacing just outside Julian’s office, my thoughts were scattered, I was debating if I should tell him or not , what kind of daughter would he see me as.I didn’t know how long I had been there. A few seconds or maybe minutes but It felt longer because my mind kept going back and forth on the same thing, I sighed , raising my head up.Should I tell him or not?I stopped in front of his door and stared at it again. My chest felt tight for reasons I don't know. I knew why I came here, but now that I was actually here, I wasn’t sure anymore.It wasn’t just a trivial matter It was about my father The thought alone made my jaw tighten. I didn’t even like calling him that anymore. He had lost that right a long time ago.Still, I couldn’t ignore what I was thinking.I had a strong feeling that he knew where Jax was.I didn’t have any solid proof, I was relying on Just my instincts and the way things felt wrong whenever I thought about him.It had to be him, he was the only o
Jax’s pov we would soon be found. He was seated closely to my right , his head resting on the wall as he closed his eyes, I was sitting on my side, my legs folded and my head on the wall.It's been nearly a month and we haven't seen any faces nor do we know where we are. I knew Roxy would be searching for me as soon as she found out that I was taken, but I wasn't sure she would find us that easily.Whoever took us didn't want us to be found and they were very clever people. The room was always dark and whenever we brought food, the room was sedated before they entered, they were fully masked so the gas didn't affect them nor were we able to see their faces.I understood along the line why the room stank like that , no matter how much we shouted on top of our lungs that we wanted to use the toilet, there was never any reply, so resulted in using a corner of the room for this purpose.We also stank and already got used to the smell, we hadn't even brushed or had a shower for a while,
Roxy’s pov The car finally stopped at the front of a very big houseI looked out the window and the farmhouse stood as elegant as ever.My father’s farmhouse.This was where he spent his weekends. Back then, I never knew why. He always said it was for Alpha duties, for work, for things we wouldn’t understand. My mother believed him and I believed him too.We were both wrong and this was where he kept his other family.I remembered the day everything came out .My mother had found out the truth, and I had been there when she confronted him. I could still hear her voice, broken and angry, asking him how he could do something like that to us.And he didn’t even deny it but instead, he married the woman, just like that.And when my mother tried to fight it, he said the words I would never forget.“I am the Alpha and I can do whatever I want.”I blinked and pushed the memory away, I couldn't be distracted, this wasn't what I was here for.I opened the car door and stepped out.The air felt
Roxy’s pov I felt it immediately, and my body reacted at once . The moment the room went quiet, the air changed. It became thick and heavy,with tensions. It might have been there but I hadn't noticed till I went quiet and he moved away.I didn’t need anyone to tell me what was going on my body already knew. And for fuck’s sake, it made me wet as hell. I stayed still, my eyes closed, trying to ignore it, but it only made everything worse. Without sight, I felt everything more. I knew how far he was from me and I knew he was trying hard to restrain himself. My need pressed against my skin and my lungs that my breath became uneven. Heat spread through me, low and slow, settling deep between my thighs. I clenched and unclenched my fists slowly , breathing in slowly to get myself back, my wolf was already scratching to be let out, I haven't had sex since I came here , my hands were the only thing that gave me pleasure. I swallowed hard and opened my eyes slightly. Jillian had a
