บททั้งหมดของ The Jilted Alpha: บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

Jaxon POV Sable is quick witted and loves the underhanded digs. She acts like a warrior but in a female kind of way. She is quick on her feet and witty. It’s pretty amusing. I wonder what she packed from her parents. She was pretty quick about packing, even if she forgot to change out of the girlie daisy pajamas. I also took notice that she made sure to give Kent and I something to munch on. It wasn’t much, but she is used to living alone. I guess the snack size was more for her stature than ours. Still the gesture why nice. ‘Yeah, she remembered you and the guard needed to eat. You should take note.’ Drax said like a true smart ass. ‘Don’t be a smart ass. I already apologized.’ ‘Hmpf.’ He huffed and retreated to the back of my mind. It appears I’m going to continue getting berated for the foreseeable future. While she was packing, I observed her home. There are a lot of older items and some old photos on the shelf. I think most were her parents and of her as a little girl. Sh

Sable POV It’s been a couple of days. I have been at the hospital. This time though, the nurses are friendly and the doctor comes to see me. They even make sure I have meals. However, Jaxon has yet to come see me. I’m not leaving for a couple of reasons. First, I want to see if he keeps his word about calling Crane and Darius so I can get my stuff. Second, I was thinking a lot about leaving Dark Flame. Is Jaxon going to ask me to accept him as my Alpha and does he have intentions of marking me? So far, any progress I thought we were making seems to have evaporated. I’ve had nothing but radio silence from everyone outside of the pack hospital. I’m bored out of my mind. I’m not a stranger to being alone, but at least, I always have things to do. Here in the hospital, I have no one to talk to and no one has offered a book or magazine to read. I just lay here. I’m getting anxious already. My thoughts are starting to get away from me and with me being here and Jaxon, Goddess knows where,

Jaxon POV The last rogue is still alive but withering in pain. Sable pulls shift and I sucked in a breath. Holy Moon Goddess. She is perfect. Every part of her body is sculpted to perfection. Before I can get carried away with my thoughts, she moves past me and lifts the rouge up and slams him against a tree. Okay, I’m starting to see why she is a lead warrior. “Why did you want me, specifically? Who sent you?” The rogue starts laughing, “You’re special, Sable. Someone is very interested in adding you to their collection.” I snarl at hearing this asshole. “I will make your death painful, unless you give me a name.” Sable says, looking at the rogue with an eerie calm. “Do your worst, bitch.” He laughs again. She stays there staring at him and then he starts to choke and gasp for air. I look at Sable and she isn’t breaking eye contact with this guy. “A name.” she says once again. He’s shaking his head, “I…I…I don..don…know!” “Then you are of no use to me.” Sable says.

Jaxon POV I’m sitting at my desk looking at her. She really is beautiful. Her eyes especially. They look like honey when the light touches them at the right angle. When I kissed her in the woods, I saw her eyes up close. She looked shocked, but that honey color was there and green is there but more of a secondary color to the honey. It gives her an exotic look and it’s captivating. Her eyes light up when I mention calling Crane and Darius. I’m rewarded with a soft smile. I’m not sure what it is, but some of the tightness in my chest dissolves when I see that smile. Again, she is making me feel foreign things in my chest that I can’t describe. She sits innocently on the other side of my desk while I call Crane first. I will explain the situation to him and then ask to three-way call, so we can have some diplomacy when we call Alpha Darius. As the phone rings, I take note that Sable is sitting nervously, fidgeting with her hands. This woman just killed rogues in the woods and now she

Jaxon POV When Darius said Sable was his mate, I thought she lied. Then something inside of me became exceedingly possessive and angry at the idea that Sable and Darius were mates. ‘It’s called jealously, stupid.’ Drax said sarcastically. ‘Admit you want her to be your mate. Hell, admit you are falling for her, already.’ ‘I’m not jealous. I’m just possessive over what’s mine. That’s all.’ I say. I know it’s a weak argument, but I refuse to admit I am jealous. ‘As if I can’t hear your subconscious. Of course you are jealous. You know our mate is special and she is ours. The Moon Goddess gave her to us. Stop being stubborn.’ Drax insists. ‘I’m closing you out.’ I say, pushing him down and ignoring him. At least temporarily. Man, he likes to rub it in my face when he gloats. I was glad that not only did she claim me openly, but Crane, apparently, also called him out. It wasn’t until Alpha Darius back tracked that I started calming down. “Okay, so in two days we will go get y
