Chapter 7
Jaxson
“Jaxson! Are you even listening?” Cole snaps his fingers in front of my eyes.
Yes, I kissed Lana in front of them, but it was only a kiss. My wolf has been on edge since then. One hour and forty-five minutes ago to be exact. Now I'm supposed to be paying attention to Cole, but that's not working out so well. My wolf keeps giving me visions of how he wants to claim her and make her his.
“What?” I ask in annoyance to him.
Cole looks at me with a smirk, taking his shot. “So, you have figured out that she's destined to be your mate?”
I roll my eyes, and look out the window to where Natalia and Lana are playing with Gabriel outside.
“You know it’s okay to move on, right? She would want you to, especially since it’s your mate.” He says to me as he walks away leaving me to my thoughts. My thoughts go back to the visions my wolf gave me before Cole rudely interrupted them.
I remember when I was locked up downstairs after my wolf attacked her. When she was knocked out, Cole said she began to have nightmares. He didn't need to tell me that because I could hear her screams with my enhanced hearing. It hurt me to hear her in pain, and maybe if I didn't allow my wolf to overpower me then she wouldn't have had to go through that. It's all my fault.
The way she looked when Cole came to me about what was happening to her and had no idea what to do about it. I knew what was happening to her. Her witch side had been triggered, and she had no idea what was going on. She was so scared when I saw her. I needed to talk to my father, and quickly before her witch side got stronger, and took over.
Knocking on my father's office door, I walk in and he raises an eyebrow in curiosity. “I think her witch powers have been triggered somehow.”
My father was a good strong Alpha, but he handed over the position to me at a young age. He trained me and molded me into what I am today.
“Bring her to me.” My eyes widened at his order.
“I-I can't. She doesn't even know she's half-witch.”
My father grinned, “I don't think it’s a good idea for you to be keeping things from your mate, son.”
How did he…
He grinned at me again.
“I can smell a woman’s scent all over you. It's her right, the one you're talking about. That's why you came to me for information.”
When it comes to him, I can't lie to him.
“Yes. I haven't... she doesn't know we’re mates.”
He looks at me in disappointment and pinches the bridge of his nose, “Son, you have to tell her before Lorenzo figures out where she is, and something bad happens to her. Tell you what, why don't you and Lana come over for dinner, and we'll all sit down and talk.”
I don't want to, but I just agree. As I walk out I hear him say. “Six o’clock son.”
How am I going to convince her to go?
When I arrive back home, I see her bent over making me instantly wish I was fucking her from behind. She's got on shorts much too short to be wearing out here. Her white tank top rides up showing just enough skin making my body start to ignite, and start to stir in my pants making my pants feel much too tight. My eyes gaze down to her ass, then down her legs.
“Oh, I thought I heard you come in. Gabriel is with Natalia. I was just doing some laundry.” She says with a laundry basket in her arms.
I take the basket, and place it back on the floor, trapping her to the wall. “You don’t have to do his laundry. I’ve got someone that does that.”
She gulps when I grab her wrists and press my face in her hair. She tries to get free, but I hold onto her firm. “I want you to come to dinner at my parent’s house,” I say, inhaling her intoxicating scent.
“What? Why?”
Now's the time to tell her about being mates.
“Do you feel that?”
She looks confused then blushes. “You mean feel what's poking out of your pants? Look, if you're after a quick fuck or a blowjob, absolutely not. I'm not a whore.”
“No, you're my mate.” She tries to break away and gives up, giving into me.
“Fine. I'll go, but I'm not your mate.”
You say that now.
You'll see my little mate.
You’re mine.
My mother greets us at the door, and greets us hugging Lana, “Oh, you must be his mate...”
Lana's eyes widened, and her face flushed in embarrassment.
“Oh no, I'm not his mate.” She starts to say, but I put my arm around her waist while she shoots daggers at me.
“I'm glad I found my mate too,” I say knowing I'm going to pay for my actions later. It was worth it though.
We all sit down and start to eat when my father speaks up. “Lana, is it? Do you know that you're very special?”
Get right to it father.
“You're special because of being the last of your kind. A half-wolf and half-witch. Have you had any strange dreams lately?” She pokes at her dinner, suddenly dropping her fork and looks at him in confusion.
“What are you talking about?” She glares at me as she jabs her heel into my foot under the table. “You! You knew, and didn't say anything!”
“Nice going!” I growled, slamming my fork down on my plate.
My mother stands up announcing. “I'll go talk to her.”
“I told you to tell her!” He yells at me in frustration.
“I told her about mates, but I was going to ease her into it. Then you had to just rip the fucking Band-Aid off didn't you?” He grabs me by the collar of my shirt, but a soft and sweet voice makes my father stop.
“Jaxson, why didn't you tell me about being half-witch?”
The color drains from my face as she stands there with a pained expression. My mother forces my father out of the room to leave us alone. My wolf begins to take over begging me to take her. Not yet, you know that. She steps forward bringing her hand up to my cheek making me weak in the knees. She's the only one that can do that to me.
“I was going to, but then I lost control that day. Please, don't be mad.” I beg as she traces my lips with her fingers. She pushes a finger in my mouth and her taste is addictive like a drug.
I need it… crave it.
“I’m not mad, but a little hurt you couldn't tell me. Now, there is something else we need to address. You said we were mates. Can you prove it for me?” I waste no time kissing her feeling her body against me making the fire ignite inside me.
“There is one way, but you won't like it. You have to take my blood so that way you're linked to the pack.” She nods in agreement, and my canines elongate and I bite into my wrist as blood oozes out. She attaches her lips to my wrist sucking on my skin. The feeling is euphoric to me.
“Mmm.” I moan as she lets go.
“Now what?” She asks.
I bring my hands to hers, and she must feel it because the next thing I know her legs are wrapped around my waist grinding on me kissing my neck. My wolf starts to stir. He tells me my fantasy is about to come true and I have no idea what he means by that.
No one else existed right now.
Just Us.
Red to yellow.
Me to her.
My mate.
Our Luna.
The only thing that mattered to me at this moment was that she was in my arms. Our lips molded together as one. She tasted like honey and smelled like vanilla. Our tongues danced together as if they were dancing to a love song. I was making love to her mouth, and it was heaven to me.
She was under my control and completely submitting to my wolf. My wolf howled to me to take her, claim her, and make her mine. I can't do that to her yet though. A woman this fragile needs time to adjust to the idea of having a mate.
Not just any mate, an all-powerful Alpha mate.
I never want this moment to end. I can feel my canines start to elongate poking into my bottom lip as I started to kiss her neck. My teeth grazed the spot where I planned to mark her. I can smell the arousal off her tempting me, even more, to sink my teeth in her neck.
Fight it Jaxson.
It's too soon.
Control yourself.
I retract my lips away from her and look into her yellow lust-filled eyes meeting my red ones. Both of our wolves are in control and if someone doesn't do something quickly to separate us I just might fuck here right now. A force is begging to be released out of her. I can feel it.
A throat clearing makes us separate, “Now that's out of the way, can we finish our dinner. We still have some things to discuss.”
My father always knows how to ruin the mood, that's for sure.
“We’ll finish this after we get home, baby,” I whisper to her, kissing her on the lips.
“Lana let’s talk about your powers and try to find out why they're just now surfacing. You should have gotten the powers the first time you shifted into your wolf.”
