All Chapters of The Alpha's Chosen : Chapter 11 - Chapter 15

JAX “I don't know much yet. A message came in saying the outer perimeter was broken. Someone blasted their way through the guards stationed at the edge of town.”“Wolves?” Aurora asked.My head moved in a slow shake. “No one mentioned wolves. That would be very unusual.”“Agreed.”Aurora pushed off the bed and started getting dressed fast. Her movements were quick and tense. A few seconds later, loud pounding hit the door.“At least your hearing still works,” I said while turning toward it.Something suddenly flew past my head.A clock.The rush of air brushed my cheek as it missed.“Good thing your aim is off,” I said calmly.“My aim is not off,” she snapped.A low chuckle rolled out of my chest. Seeing her fired up always stirred something inside me. It was hard not to enjoy it.The pounding on the door came again.“I hear you,” I called.“Then open the damn door. What the hell are you doing in—”The lock clicked open and I pulled the door wide.Theron stood there, already fully dr

AURORA I watched Jax closely.There was always something controlled about him. Anger sat deep inside him. Violence too. Both were tightly held back, like a wild animal kept on a short chain.We had known each other for as long as I could remember. Still, that quiet feeling never left me. The sense that he carried secrets he never spoke about.Trusting him had never been difficult. My life would be safe in his hands. That much I knew without question.He loved me with a fierce kind of loyalty.But whenever someone got too close to the darker part of him, he stepped away. He shut the door before anyone could see too much.Maybe that was simply the human side of him.He was not one of us. Yet something primal lived inside him anyway.

AURORA “That's Queen, Bitch. And if you don’t mind, I don’t want to play games or waste time. Tell me what you want.”“You really haven’t figured it out?” he replied.The two men standing behind me stiffened right away. Their bodies tensed like they were ready to jump in. A quick lift of my hand stopped them. I wanted to understand what he was doing before anyone acted.A small smile formed on my lips, though it felt forced.“Then why take others?” I asked. “If I’m the one you came for, let the rest of the Ironwood Pack go. You and I can settle this ourselves.”“You mean your father?”Anger rushed through me at once. It rose fast and hot, but I pushed it down. Losing control in front of him was not going to happen again.“Clearly you know plenty about me,” I said. “Why not explain what you actually want? Then we can see if there’s any way to reach an agreement.”His eyes stayed fixed on me. Cool and steady. That look stirred something deep in my stomach. He seemed far too confident a
