Oh But It Is Jaxy Boy

Ash

Jax and I have been travel buddies for about a year now. We have never gone our separate ways. I stopped contacting John a week after I met Jax. I don't want anyone tracing me back to him. I still haven't told Jax about me being a Mura. No one knows except that one Alpha I met in the woods. Jax and I have made some allies with packs in North America which would let us stay with them for a bit. In return, we would help train their pack to better defend themselves against rogue attacks.

A couple days after I met Jax, we were attacked by rogues and to say I was unprepared would be an understatement. I managed to kill one rogue in the amount of time Jax killed five. Since then, Jax has taught me everything he knows and I make a run for his money when we spar now.

I haven't let out my wings since the day I got them, but I did learn about two powers I have. Pyrokinesis and telekinesis. I can control fire which is useful when starting one on cold nights. Jax thinks I am just really good at making them with two stones. If he had half a brain, he would know that two rocks can't make a fire. I'm lucky that he is stupid at times like those. The telekinesis is a bit of a different story. It seems to only work when I am feeling very strong emotions and I have yet to master it so I don't rely on it yet.

"Jax, wake up," I shake his shoulders.

"Just one more minute mom," he groans and rolls away from me.

I roll my eyes, "Come on you idiot, we need to get going. I heard we have a message from a pack wanting our help."

Jax jumps awake, head butting me in the process, "Bed! I mean, let's go help people in need."

I rub my forehead where he smacked it, "Watch it Jax."

"Oops."

We pack up our campsite and head off towards Lana's place. She is a witch who helps us out from time to time and it is also how we know when a pack wants our help.

We are only an hour walk away from Lana luckily so we can take our sweet time. The walk is quiet until Jax speaks up.

"We have known each other for a year now," he states.

"Yes, we have," I reassure him.

He seems hesitant as to what he is going to say next. "Why," he takes a deep breath, "Why don't you trust me with your secret yet?"

My eyes widen slightly, "What do you mean?" I try acting dumb.

"There is something off about you and I have known since I met you, but I always kept my mouth shut because it isn't my business. I thought that when you trusted me, that you would tell me what it is. Do you not trust me?"

"I trust you Jax, it's just that...it is something that I haven't told anyone. Only one person in the world knows and that is only because they found out before I did."

He nods a few times, "I understand. Can you please tell me when you are ready?"

"Of course I will," he does deserve to know.

The rest of the way we stay silent, being busied by our own thoughts. I don't want Jax looking at me differently just because of what I am. What if he turns against me? No. He won't do that, he is my best friend, we are like family.

I knock on Lana's door and wait for her to open up. We are the only people who can walk easily through her wards without being trapped. I remember the first time she invited us here, she forgot about her wards and we were stuck in one for hours before she came out of her house and saw us there.
