XanderThe smirk on his face makes me want to hit him. Somehow, I keep it together.There was movement upstairs. Most likely Blue was coming from her room and she did not need to see me throwing the first punch. Even if her wolf had threatened me not long ago.Jaxon glances to the ceiling, frowning.“She is clearly on her way down.” I mutter.“She said she was staying in her room. I just sent Ophelia up with some bits. Something isn't right”There is a massive crash above us and Jaxon charges past me. Following him, I raced up the stairs, closely behind my brother, taking two at a time.“STOP.” Blue screams at the top of her voice. “Please, stop.”Bursting into her room, we find our father, pinning her to the ground and trying to pour some liquid in her mouth. I could already smell it. Wolfsbane. It was strong too. Probably enough to do damage to Blue as well as her wolf.“FATHER!” Jaxon charges him, knocking him off of Blue. The vial shatters on the carpet, the remaining liquid spill

JaxonI fucking knew it. There was no way he was standing aside and letting me be with Blue. It was obvious, if he couldn’t have her, then no one could.Ophelia was shouting until she was red in the face. But the pack were just exchanging looks and if I didn’t do something soon, they would start accusing Ophelia.“Ophelia, you need to stop!” I walk the few steps towards her and lower my voice. “You will be blamed otherwise.”“She is a monster.” She growls back at me.“And clearly it wasn’t her. She was with me and the others, all day.”“All day?”“Yes and every single one of them can verify it. After you and Xander left, I showed Blue around the pack, introducing her to some of the members that she hasn't met. Now if you keep accusing her when others clearly know she was with them, it will make you look guilty.”She closes her mouth.“Where is my brother?”“I don’t know. I haven’t seen him since we got back.” I scan the grounds and spot Blue stomping towards him. He was leaning agains

JaxonNone of us manage to get any sleep. Blue had too many questions about our uncle. Questions that I couldn’t even answer. Xander, well, Xander was just being Xander. Quiet and mulling over the photos we had found.Uncle Quinn doesn’t answer when I call, instead his Beta picks up the phone.“Yes?”“It’s Jaxon.”“I wondered when you would be calling again.” His monotone voice gave nothing away. Was he annoyed that I was calling? He wasn’t even in charge.“Is Uncle Quinn there?”“No.”“Can you get him? I need to speak to him.”“No.”“You don’t need to be a dick about it!” I snap in irritation and Blue frowns at me from the other side of the office.“I can’t get him for you, because Alpha Quinn has already left.”“Where is he?”“He is on his way to you.” He hangs up without saying anything else and I find myself staring at Blue.“He wasn’t there?” “No, he wasn’t. He is on his way here.”Her eyes are wide as she processes the information. “But you said…”“I know. But we can’t hide you

Jaxon.I had so many questions buzzing around my head. Blue stares at me with her jaw hanging open. I should have warned her about Red Moon, but I never thought it would be a problem. I didn't think she would ever go that far.“Let’s go inside. We can talk more about your brother." I hated the idea of him being out there. Blue had told me that he broke contact with her when she told him she was mated to us. If he was here, that could only mean one thing. He was going to try and get her away.“Where’s Quinn?” She asks me quietly, looking around.“Rummaging through the office. He seems to be looking for something.”“What?”“Who knows!” I shrug my shoulders at her, but I see how her eyes run up and down over me."What about Xander?""Probably with him. I don't know what's going on with him. I thought we had agreed that we would help each other."“Hmm. Why are you not wearing a suit?”“Because I thought I was going to have to shift to come looking for you. And you have already ruined one

BlueJaxon continued checking over my hands when Quinn and Xander left. The half moons from my nails had already healed but he was still wiping away the remnants of blood, taking his time. Making the most of me letting him touch me.I hadn’t told him yet that I didn’t mind him touching me anymore. The little sparks on my skin brought me comfort, just as his scent did. But he was always respectful, asking my permission before doing anything. Or maybe he was afraid that I would freeze up like before.“Are you sure you’re okay?” He asks me for the millionth time.“It was because I was annoyed. But it’s healed, nothing to worry about.” I give him a smile and the gold in his eyes light up.“Is it weird?” I ask quietly.“Is what weird?”“Finding out that Quinn is your father.”“No weirder than you finding out you have a human mother.”I hadn’t really had a chance to think about it. Or why the Beta’s had taken me from her. “Do you think the Beta was my father and that’s why they raised me?”
