Kayden
My wolf Jax is angry with me.
He has a softer heart than mine.
I don’t blame him not when he still feels the sparks every time we touch her.
I find myself wanting reasons to touch her just to feel the sparks that I will never feel with Lexi.
Why do I do it?
Even I don’t know sometimes it’s easier to blame it on Jax like at the hospital it was partially my fault too but in the office, it was all mine.
I couldn’t even blame Jax even if I wanted to.
It’s been a day since she has been at the poll on the leash.
Each hour Jax begs me to let her out but I shut him out each time.
He refuses to acknowledge her as our ex-mate to him she is still our mate.
The concept of rejection just doesn’t sit right with him.
‘Please Kayden remove her from there our mate is suffering.’ Jax begs in my head once more.
‘She ain’t our mate!’ I snap back at him.
At least not anymore.
‘ You have to accept that she rejected us she didn’t want us.’
‘ How sure are you she doesn’t want us now?’ He stubbornly asks.
I keep quiet cause I don’t know what answer to give him.
I chose I should remain silent or else this banter won’t stop.
‘ I know you pretend to hate her but deep down you want her too.’
I roll my eyes and then shake my head at his snide comment.
‘Dont put thoughts in my head.
I don’t want her.’ I state as a matter of fact.
He snorts more like his way of chuckling.
I am surprised he drops the issue and goes quiet like he usually does.
I am hidden by the shadow of my window in the pack house as I observe her.
Tied to a post and isolated.
I must admit the punishment that Lexi gave out was cruel beyond cruel but I didn’t want to interfere not in front of everyone the last I want is for her to know Lucy is my ex-mate.
Lucy’s wolf calmly lays there with her head on her paws.
She doesn’t seem bothered at all, if anything she appears more relaxed than I am.
Her head suddenly lifts and looks straight at my window.
Her wolf’s eyes are a bright golden color.
I am frozen to my spot I don’t know if she has noticed me or not.
It’s too far for her to even do so.
She stares one more time before she back to laying her head over her paws.
I continue to observe, Ace is somewhere near watching her too but careful enough not to get close to her.
My blood boils and I don’t know why.
But seeing Ace close to Lucy is doing things to make.
I just wanna grab him and snap his head real hard he won’t ever wake up again.
“ AIDEN!”
I shout in our mind link.
The only time he is formal is when everyone is watching but when it’s just two of us he doesn’t need the title shit.
“ Find some kind of job for Ace to do.” I can’t even hide the irritation in my voice.
I hear Aiden chuckle in the link, “ and why is that?” He asks though it sounds more like he just teasing me.
“ Do I need to have a reason!” I snap.
He bursts out laughing and I get even more irritated.
What is Aiden’s deal?
“ It doesn’t make sense why you suddenly hate Ace is it because he is hanging out with Lucy?”
I scoff, “ of course not.
I just feel he hasn’t been giving much work to do lately.”
He snorts at my answers am sure he doesn’t believe the crap I just said even I don’t believe it.
But he has a point ever since I discovered them together seated laughing with no care in the world and then those kisses he gives not to mention the nickname.
Everything just made me want to beat the fuck out of him.
I have been on edge ever since and when I teased Lucy with the same nickname landed me getting insulted, that just made me even angry no wonder I couldn’t forgive her.
“ Am sure that’s the reason.” Aiden teases that his voice is mischievous as always and that he is the older one.
“ What other reason can be there?!!” I snap once more.
I think I need a run maybe then my temper will simmer down.
“ How would I know ?” He mocks me once more.
Foolish bastard
I close the link and make my way to the shower.
I turn to the water to be as cold as possible the shower is quick but it doesn’t help cooler me down either.
I am snapping way too much.
In my bedroom, the door opens and Lexi strides in.
She has dressed in a sexy-looking suit.
She bats her lashes at me and then pouts.
I know what she wants but I am not in the mood.
I don’t even think my dick will respond to her.
She slowly walks over seductively.
Other times I would have been panting like a rabid dog but now I just watch her.
She reaches me and puts her hands over my naked chest.
She pouts her lips once more.
But I am not even moved by her antics.
She kisses my neck and my body shivers.
She smiles as she mistakes my repulsive reaction for pleasure.
Jax is rejecting her touch like he always does.
All he wants is to make up with his mate.
A mate who is too stubborn to admit her wrongdoings.
“ I missed you, babe.” She says in a sexy sly voice as she pampers my chest with kisses.
I stand there frozen it’s like my body has a mind of its own.
She grabs the towel that is still hanging loosely on my waist. This chapter is updated first at g.com.
My hand is quick to go over her to stop her from making any more moves.
She stops and looks into my eye.
She has a questioning look and I peck her lips smooth things out.
“ Can we do this later, Jax is giving me problems he hasn’t had a run in such a long time.”
It’s true at least even though I hide through him.
“ Why is it because his ex-mate is nearby?”
The question catches me off guard.
I keep my face straight as she attentively looks at me.
“ No his mate isn’t even nearby he just needs his run.
I don’t even think he will ever be seeing her.”
She smiles, then kisses my lips.
“ I am glad ’cause I don’t want her waltzing back into your life to create any problems for us.
My wolf and I have already accepted you as our mate.
We didn’t even think we would find anyone else after our mate died years ago.” She says with a sad look on her face.
I know that feeling very well.
I hug her tightly and kiss her temple.
“ No one is taking me away from you,” I assure her.
She nods and steps out of my arms she wipes the tears that began to fall.
“ Go for your ran and then when you come back we will have a tumble in the bed.”
I smile at her words while Jax plays images of Lucy being the one in my bed.
My dick instantly hardens and Lexi notices it.
She blushes hard thinking my hard-on is for her when it’s my devious wolf playing dirty tricks on me
This won’t be an easy battle to win not when my wolf is fighting me like this.
All he wants is Lucy and we constantly keep having this talk and he won’t just listen to anything I say.
“ I can see someone is more than eager.” She flashes her eyes at my hard dick.
“ Too eager if you ask me,” I smirk.
“ Let me just go for this run.
“
I rush to my closet where I grab some shorts and a shirt and I am out of the house.
It’s already dark out and the wind is blowing hard, a sign that it might rain tonight.
I hope it doesn’t cause that fair well for Lucy.
Why the fuck I am even worrying about her.
‘ Cause she is mate.’ Jax replies.
‘ No, she rejected us and left us to die remember?
‘
Maybe that will ring a bell.
‘ We can forgive mate.
You have to make her suffer enough.’
And we are back to this argument all over again.
It’s a daily routine of ours.
‘ I don’t need you telling me what to do.’
The wind continues to blow and I find myself near Lucy’s wolf.
She pretends not to notice me which I am not surprised about.
Jax keeps pushing me to release her and I keep fighting him to leave me alone.
Finally, I walk away leaving her there, I don’t why I feel a ping of guilt maybe it’s cause we all know how harsh this punishment is.
I reach the wood and shift into my massive wolf and the moment I do there is a splash of thunder before it begins to pour heavily.
My mind is one particular she wolf Lucy.
