All Chapters of Desperate Omega Seduces the Cold Enigma for his protection: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Jax's POVThe messenger arrived at the border just after dawn.One of my scouts intercepted him before he got anywhere near the lair and brought him to me at the tree line.The boy was young, maybe nineteen, wearing Lunar Reavers colors and doing a poor job of hiding how terrified he was standing in front of me.Smart enough to be scared. That was the only thing working in his favor.He held out the letter with both hands. Formal. Sealed with the Lunar Reavers pack crest in dark red wax.I took it without a word and dismissed him. He practically ran back through the border trees.I did not open it immediately. I stood there in the cold morning air and turned it over in my hands once.The seal was clean and official.That alone told me enough to know I was not going to like what was inside.I walked back to the lair alone. Kai was still asleep. I had checked on him twenty minutes ago and he had been curled deep under the covers with one hand pressed flat against the pillow beside him l

Jax's POV I stayed very still. I had watched Kai's face while he read the letter. I had seen the exact moment his expression went from careful blankness to something that looked like the ground dropping out from under him. I had seen him put the letter down with both hands like he needed to be deliberate about every movement. And then I had watched him walk to the window and press his forehead against the glass and come apart. Knox was fear. I had seen Kai's fear of Knox. It lived in his body, in the way he flinched at loud sounds and checked exits when he entered rooms and woke up sometimes in the night with his breath coming too fast. This was not that. This was something older and quieter and far more specific. This was the kind of pain that came from someone you loved choosing to look away. I knew exactly what that felt like. I knew it in the particular way that only people who have experienced it firsthand understand it. I did not move immediately. I sat at the table and li

Jax's POV "Oh shit. I should have waited for a response before going in.” I thought to myself as I half ran outside. My hands were shaking and I was breathing too fast. I leaned my back against the wall of the corridor and tried erasing the image I just saw off my mind but that half naked picture had burned into my eyelids.I could still picture his hands throbbing his length, the way he arched into his own touch and that moan? God.By now his fruity scent pheromones had engulfed the entire hallway. It was thick, intoxicating, and dripping with pure, unadulterated heat.I let out an involuntary moan. The enigma had awoken, my temperature had spiked a little and I could feel a sharp ache clawing at my gut and spreading towards my lower abdomen.My own scent - usually something I kept tightly under control -hit the air like a punch. It turned dark, heavy, and completely aggressive, pouring out of me so fast it actually made my head spin.My rut.It wasn't just coming anymore; it was

KAI'S POV Last night was pure torture. I touched myself thinking of him, desperate for some kind of release, but the sounds of my own pleasure ended up drawing him straight to my bedroom door. For a brief second, I thought he was finally going to cross that line. Then he pulled away. Again.A soft knock sounded on my door, firm and unmistakable. My pulse spiked."Come in," I called, my voice still husky from sleep and lingering desire.The door opened, and there he was. Jax Wilder, all six-foot-five of raw power and restrained hunger. His dark hair was a mess, like he'd been running his hands through it all night, and those piercing eyes locked right onto me. He was wearing a simple black shirt that stretched tight across his chest and shoulders, doing absolutely nothing to hide the muscles underneath. My mouth went completely dry."Kai," he said, stepping inside and closing the door behind him with a quiet click. His voice was low, rough around the edges. "We need to talk.”I sh

Knox's POVThe Lunar Reavers pack house was too warm.I sat in the council chamber with my coat draped over the back of my chair, watching Ronan's advisors file in one by one. They moved like nervous prey, eyes darting toward me before quickly looking away. Good. Let them be scared. Fear made people predictable.Ronan sat at the head of the table, his face carefully blank. He had read my letter three times now. He kept folding and unfolding the edges like he was waiting for the words to change."The response from Wilder," Ronan said finally. "You've seen it."I had. The messenger had brought it straight to me before delivering it to Ronan's council. Smart boy. I had made sure he knew where his loyalty should lie."I read it," I said. "Your betrothed is still in his territory. Wilder refused to release him."Ronan's jaw tightened. "He cited the betrothal as invalid. Said I lost all rights when I traded Kai away.""He's wrong." I leaned forward, resting my elbows on the table. "The betr
