Jaxson POV   “I have to go” I was livid at councilman Jeff for making this a priority. I mean, it was a priority but damn. Scarlet is looking fucking sexy as hell, was on my lap and all I could think about was to fuck her brains out. Maybe I will sink my teeth into her. I was so close to finally mating her that I could taste it. She is even acting like she is willing too.  “Go?” She looked pissed but trying to control herself. Standing up, she bawled her fist up by her side.  “I got a job. Councilman Jeff got word that the location of your house was leaked and there was someone sitting on it. I need to take them out.” I couldn’t read her expression as it changed. I had a feeling I wasn’t going to like her response.  “I’m coming with you.”

Jaxson POV Scarlet was sleeping soundly beside me. My arm was wrapped around her with her back pressed up against me. It felt so right and just the way it was meant to be. I never really cuddled before but this is something I could get used to. Racking my brains to figure out how to make this work. She can use my office too unless it becomes a problem and as soon as Jared is eliminated, she will be able to come and go as she pleases. What is really making me nervous is they passed the law that Luna’s have equal power as Alphas. What if she tries to make changes I don’t agree with? I don’t know how I will respond bu– My internal dialog was as I heard the porch squeak. Warning bells were going off as every hair on my body was standing up. As quietly and gentle as I could, I slipped my arm out from around Scarlet. Careful not to wake her, I slipped on my underwear. I refuse to fight naked. With white knuckles, the door slowly opened to a pitch black house. It was then that I heard th

Jaxson POV Fucking damnit! This shit hurts like a mother fucker! Just waking up in the stupid ass hosptial bed, hooked up to these fucking machines, just pisses me off. I need to get out of here and see my pack. I don’t have time for this. “Scarlet!” I mind-linked her. She didn’t answer right away and I was about to link her again before the door to my room opened up and she came in. She will always take my breath away. Even with her covered in blood she is perfect. “What is happening?” “Calm down! You burned off the sedation quicker than they expected but they got the bullet out and you are stitched up. Should be walking without assistance in a day. Your healing is top notch. I need that!” She joked with me. I wasn’t feeling in a joking mood. “Did we lose anyone? How many did we capture? Where the fuck is Mason?” I asked the last question and she paled a little. “What? What is it? Did Mason get hurt?” I was instantly worried. “Ummm, he is fine…” She started but trailed off. “

Jaxson POV My man card was slowly being ripped to shreds as I held on to Scarlet as we walked down the hallway to the kitchen. I should be healed in the next day or two but damn, this shit sucks. No wonder Scarlet hated laying in bed, I couldn’t do it. Limping became easier so I was able to put more weight on my good leg so it wasn’t like I was completely leaned up against her. I just sent an email to the council about Scarlet and informing them of what has been going on. I told them all about Jared and his attempts on her life and the fact that we are fated and mated mates. I am really hoping this will put an end to everything. I would love to see Jared get stripped of his title. That would just put the icing on the cake. Plus, since it is now public knowledge, Michelle should see it too. Not that she has really bothered me lately but I feel pretty confident she will stay away. As we approached the kitchen, Courtney opened the door for me. All I wanted to do was glare at her but

Jaxson POV It’s been one week and it seems the mood in the packhouse is very low. We have been getting alot of work done but everyone is kind of like, meh. I guess it is a good thing we are having this Christmas gift exchange plus day together. Maybe that will lighten the mood around here. Scarlet has been working at her desk or will move to the couch to sketch. The only bad thing about this arrangement is she is distracting for me. If I’m not just staring at her, I am listening to her hum. She has a beautiful voice but damn if it keeps my attention away from work. I am pretty sure she has submitted like three new jewelry lines this last week. She has changed all fundraising to on-line so there isn’t another chance of getting stabbed. From what I have gathered, it is all running pretty smoothly. My club and restaurant seem to be running smoothly as well. No major issues and I have been able to handle everyone over the phone or via zoom. I will be happy when this is over because I
