All Chapters of Deadly Mate: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Scarlet POV “I did!” A young girl, around 13 stepped forward. The parents were looking very nervously as their daughter slipped out of their hands and stepped forward in front of Jaxson and I. He visibly relaxed as he looked at her. “May I ask what your name is?” I asked sweetly. No reason to get worked up over this, this isn’t a true challenge since she is under age. “Kara.” She was looking at me with tears in her eyes, she had a broken heart. “Kara, that is a pretty name. Tell me, why did you want to challenge me for Alpha Jaxson?” I stayed with the caring approach. “I have had a crush on him for years! I wanted to be his Luna!” she burst out in full hysterics as she crumbled to the ground. My heart shattered for her. Walking up to her and bending down, I was careful not to touch her. “Kara, do you know what a challenge is?” “Yes! We f-fight till one submits and the w-winner gets the Alpha.” “Kinda, did you know the challenges are till death?” Her head snapped up to me

Scarlet POV Turns out, the trial was scheduled for Monday. The email came out and stated it was an emergency trial and it didn’t say why. I could only imagine Jared and Michelle losing their minds. They haven’t officially become Alpha and Luna but they were acting as such. I haven’t spoken much with Maverick or Jaxson since Saturday night. I don’t know what to feel. I know I am strong enough to see Jared and the thought of Michelle under Jaxson just lights a fire in me. I haven’t been ignoring them, just haven’t been overly vocal with them either. We were standing in the councilman's lobby, waiting for court to start. Thankfully, they took Jared and Michelle to another area to wait. Looking around, I looked at how everything was built. What their flow was and how they maximized all their space. Some of it made sense and some of it was just awkward. Almost to the point that I wonder if this building wasn’t something else before it was built. The light white colors made everything a

Scarlet POV “Jaxson?” my voice cracked as I held back the tears that threatened to fall. Holding my hand out, I had a warm red liquid that ran down my fingers. I had just gotten to the bathroom when I felt a rush of fluid soak my panties. With my fingers, I felt the outside of my legging and came back with it. My body was trembling as my mind was processing what exactly this meant. The brain was saying miscarriage but my heart was screaming no. It felt like all the air left my body as I was unable to breathe. The redness on my fingertips went so much but yet nothing at all. It felt like thousands of knives stabbing deep in me so hard that I was just frozen in place. I wasn’t even able to look at Jaxson as I just stared at the blood, wishing it wasn’t there. I’m not even sure what happened next but what I was able to mental process was being in Jaxson’s arms and the wind in my hair. Was there screaming? Yelling? I don’t know, it was like I was in a dream and it all seems unreal. The

Scarlet POV I have come up with a plan on how to make all this work. If my hunches are correct, I think I have figured all this out and now it is just time to get it all in motion. Jaxson was in own little world trying to figure out what was happening and didn’t even pay attention to where I was taking him. If I was correct, we need to tread very carefully and trust no one. Finally, we got to Jaxson’s house. It was filled with baby stuff that we haven’t put together yet but what he didn’t know is that I have been coming here when I was supposed to be working on the housing project sometimes. I needed a quiet space so that no one would bother me. I even designed a new jewelry line based off of this house, while I was here. “What are we doing here? Scarlet, we have too much work to do to be here!” Jaxson turned to leave. “NO!” I shouted and even stomped my foot. That seemed to amuse him so he stopped and folded his arms over his chest. “No?” he wasn’t mad but he wasn’t happy eith

Scarlet POV “Well, I mean it is just that. A theory. I have been thinking and after the rogue attack, I feel like I know what is fully going on. The bigger picture if you will. Let me get through the whole thing before you ask questions though.” She looked pointedly at them before continuing. “Jaxson hasn’t received a job from the council since we mated. The only job he did receive after we met, I went along and we mated and my house burnt down. Huge press. Since then, his priorities have changed and I believe that the council doesn’t see him as reliable or trustworthy not to do the jobs without question. Before, all they had to say was the person did this but never really provided proof. He was their puppet to eliminate people as needed. Since he isn’t a cowboy anymore, they needed someone new. The past few months that we have been together and not one job was offered to him but we know jobs have been offered to another person. We have talked about another assassin being out there. N
