LOGINSadie Simmons pov
As I stood there eyeing both of them, I noticed small similarities between them. “Hello, little brother,” Jaxon repeated again but in a more mocking tone. Forcing a grin, Justin said, “I didn't expect to see you here.” “Yeah, me either,” Jaxon replied then asked, "How is your father?” Hesitating, Justin answered, “He…he’s fine.” Narrowing his eyes at me Jaxon sneered. “I'm sure he’s doing well, otherwise how could he afford to fulfill your wishes to send your lowborn harlot into this prestigious academy?” Jaxon clearly mistook me for Jason’s sugar baby or some girl whom he bought her way in. Frowning I growled, “Hey, I’m not…” Lifting his splayed hand before my face I frowned over his rudeness. “I was talking to my brother,” Jaxon interrupted with a dangerous tone. I curled my lip angrily and eyed him with disdain. Justin stammered, “I’ve got things to do. I’ll be going now,” and hurried off, leaving me alone with the devil of a man. Jaxon turned to leave, but I called out after him, stammering my words after losing my gusto, I asserted emotionally, “Hey, Mister Cocky, I don’t care who you are, but I got in here on my own merits!” Jaxon turned, stepped closer, close enough for me to smell his intriguing cologne and feel his hot breath on my face. Staring into his two different colored eyes I exhaled deeply while my heart hammered in my chest. “You’re interesting, little white rabbit,” he said with a faint smile. “We shall meet again.” He then turned and strode off like he was hot shit. “What a self-absorbed butthead,” I muttered, and Stormy snickered in my head, “But his eyes were intriguing.” “True,” I murmured, having never seen two different colored irises on a person. “Sadie! I got us food AND a table!” Seeing Nina waving at me I headed her way. “What happened with you and Mister Sexy?” Sitting I shook my head as I took a wrapped burger off the tray. “He thinks I'm Justin's plaything,” I growled sourly. “Isn't Justin your ex?” Chewing on the bite I took, I nodded. After I swallowed, I said, “They're brothers but have different fathers I gathered from the conversation I overheard.” “Oh my, how interesting a family drama,” Nina gasped and I snorted. “I'm not going to be involved in any manner so don't give me that look.” “So why did your ex approach you in the first place,” she pried. Still disgusted with him for asking to continue our relationship while he was with Vivian, I gave her a pinched frown. “He wanted to have a secret relationship,” I growled low. “Gross. What a creep.” “Exactly,” I agreed as I took a fry and popped it into my mouth. “So the dangerous future Alpha was eavesdropping on you and Justin?” Furrowing my brow, I shrugged and told her I didn't know that he was standing behind me, making her laugh. “Oh, when he saw you both, he beelined straight over there. I watched the entire thing,” she responded. “You were watching him because you think he is Hot,” I accused, and she grinned slightly before admitting that she was guilty. Shaking my head I rolled my eyes as I continued to eat. “Do you know what their story is and why they have different moms?” She questioned me with a single raised brow. Peering at her, I told her that I wasn't aware that Justin even had an older brother, and she screwed her face in intrigue. “Wouldn't it be a hoot if you were matched with Jaxon, ha! It would burn your ex's butt, I bet,” she snickered as I grew mortified at the possibility.Sadie Simmons pov Still in shock from seeing my ex turn into a red mist and heartbroken over Aiden's departure, I scooted from the backseat and frowned slightly as I stood there by Jaxon. Putting his hand on the small of my back he escorted me into our home. My dad's gray eyes narrowed at us as he stood with a drink of liquor in his hand. “Where's Aiden?” Lowering my eyes, I shook my head and stammered, “His dad died, and he left to become Alpha of his inherited pack…He didn't even say goodbye or acknowledge me in any way. He only said to have Jaxon call him when we returned here.” Rubbing my chest after my words I felt tears collecting in my eyes. “He killed his ex-girlfriend under compulsion, maybe he's just a cold-hearted bastard,” Jaxon stated, and I glared at him, having the gall to say such hurtful things. “What? I'm only telling the truth,” he muttered and raised his cellphone. “I'm going to call him out on the back patio,” he added sternly. Waving him off
Sadie Simmons pov Exhaustion. That's what I was feeling throughout my entire body. I had drained my energy completely. Glancing down at my bloody hands in shock I shivered at what I had done and witnessed. Jaxon had been fortunate and had had his back to his brother turning into a red mist. Exhaling deeply I concentrated on not being nauseous. “Should we contact her dad now? Maybe he can help us get cleaned up quicker so we don't have to drive all the way home looking like we massacred a large group,” Aiden commented. “There's a lake up ahead I figured we could just jump in,” Jaxon replied. “Then we will be soaked. I want to get to the Academy. I've already missed my first two classes and a test,” I sighed in disappointment. “The Academy will allow you to make it up,” Aiden informed me. Nodding slowly, I told him that was good to know. I then noticed Jaxon watching me through the rear-view mirror. “I would like to speak with Caspian about what I did. I used a lot of energy
Aiden Shaw pov Phantom howled loudly inside my head suddenly and caused me to trip slightly into Jaxon. “Stormy is sending us a warning. Justin Norris has gone insane and has her tied up at her mom's house. She says to be aware of your surroundings,” I muttered, repeating what my wolf was telling me. “Grim sent me the same. I wonder if we should head back to the car since we are exposed out in the open,” Jaxon huffed as we stood on the sidewalk together. “Yeah, we should,” I answered and followed him back to his car. Getting in, I watched Jaxon's door open, but he stood there as another vehicle pulled up. Leaning forward, my eyes widened as I saw Justin sitting there, grinning behind the wheel of his vehicle. “Hey brother, fancy seeing you here. What do I owe this strange visit for?” “You know damn well why Aiden and I are here and we're going to get Sadie and get her back to the Academy,” Jaxon asserted. “Tsk ask, she doesn't want to be mates with either of you and
Sadie Simmons pov My head hurt and I attempted to reach up to touch the painful area, but quickly furrowed my brow. My arm wasn't moving, making me frustrated. Opening my eyes abruptly I saw that I was tied to my old bed. Glancing around I noticed that I was in my old bedroom at home and grew irritated. “Why am I here?” I questioned in confusion then heard the door open. “Oh honey, keep still. You have a head injury and need to remain calm,” my mom said firmly. “Mom?” I muttered, utterly perplexed. She came to my side and dabbed a wet washcloth on my head causing me to wince from the sharp stabbing pain. “I'm so happy that you and Justin worked it out,” she quipped. Shaking my head slightly I muttered painfully, “No, we haven't worked out anything. Where did you hear that?” “He brought you here, dear, and told me everything. Plus, he said that he would take good care of you, along with all my needs as well. He's such a good kid,” she said happily. “Mom! Listen to me. Pleas
Jaxon Norris pov A large hand felt around my chest, ending on my face, waking me. Glancing at Aiden in the dark and seeing the empty space between us I shoved him awake. “Huh, what?" He muttered tiredly. “Sadie is not here,” I growled. “Maybe she went to her room to sleep as you should do,” he asserted as he rolled over, giving me his back. Grim whined loudly in my head, “She's NOT in the house.” My eyes widened instantly as I jumped from the bed and shouted for Aiden to get up. “Sadie's been taken! Grim tells me she is not here!” Rolling over, Aiden rubbed his eyes and growled, “Your brother broke in and took her?” “I don't know? Did you lock the front door when you came in?!” Seeing fear enter his eyes, I said, “Let's go, and find our mate!” Slipping on my jeans, I waited for him to hurry, then I paused a moment and sniffed the air. “Follow me,” I growled as I hurried after the fresh showered scent of my mate heading down the stairs. Following Sadie's smell, I ended up
Sadie Simmons pov “I will head to the security office and see what I can do to help out Aiden. In the meantime, you two stick together and stay safe, “ Caspian asserted as he stood to leave. “Thanks Dad,” I said sullenly, causing him to nod and grin slightly. “Looks like your house staff has already left. I will lock the front door on my way out,” he added, then left Jaxon and me sitting at the dinette. Both our cellphones dinged, and I pulled mine from my pocket, then gasped. “Classes will resume tomorrow at regular time. Any testing that was scheduled for today will be done tomorrow per the Wolfcrest Alpha Academy.” “Guess they believe that Aiden Shaw is the person responsible,” Jaxon huffed as he rubbed his eyes. “Could he actually be?” I questioned and he eyed me callously. “No, I don't believe that,” he growled. “Well, what should we do? We have the entire day and night,” I muttered and glanced up to hear him chuckling. Raising my brow I asked what he found so
