JAXON POV

My eyes fluttered open due to the sun rays in our room. Taking a deep breath as the event from yesterday hit me, I looked down at her in my arms but she wasn't there. I was hugging her pillow.

I sat up, quietly and closed my eyes as my hearing intensified. Couldn't hear any water running or footsteps. I solely focus on her heartbeat but it was a little faint and I could hear the breeze and the crunchy leaves outside the cabin.

I got up and walked straight out of the room. Making my way to the front door. I saw her sitting outside on the stairs. Her blonde hair is in a high ponytail. Wearing an oversized white sweater and blue high-waisted jeans.

Tanner spoke "She's sad. I can feel it." I agreed with him.

I made my way out the door and sat behind her on the stairs, wrapping my arms around her small body and pulling her back against me. She closed her eyes taking a deep breath in as I kissed on her temple and she stroke my forearm that was wrapped around her chest.
Kissing her cheek, I asked, "Are you okay?" She looked at me with her blue eyes "Are you okay?" I just tighten my arms around her without answering. Comforting her. Before I could ask anything else, Alpha King decided to make his presence with two warriors behind him.
The warrior kneeled on the floor with their heads bowed at me and Caroline glanced at me right at the moment where I rolled my eyes. I was still pissed about the conversation Alpha King and I had.

How can he even think that I'd leave Caroline? How can he think I'd leave my mate for his petty royalty?

I stiffly nod "Alpha King." His eyes were trained on my arms around my human but he cleared his throat which made me pull her against me on instinct.
Looking back at him, he blinked but I caught his silver eyes. I knew his wolf, Phoenix was on edge. I said to Tanner "One wrong move, and I'll be ready." I felt as Tanner stretched his body and growled "Count me in."

Alpha King said, "We were under attack last night by rogues." I asked, "How many?" He sighed and replied"Twelve." I again asked, "How many of yours are dead?" And soon as I asked that, Caroline unwrapped my arms from around her, sitting up straight, listening attentively. He replied"None. But six were injured severely." Caroline asked, "And how many rogues did you capture?"

I knew the King did not like the women asking him questions about the pack business but I felt goddess damn proud of her.

Without making any eye contact with her, he answered "One dead. Three captured. Including the one Jaxon caught." I asked, "Is Greg dead?"
I heard her gulp and I hoped that Alpha King said yes. But I got disappointed as he said"No, he's alive. In the silver prison." He looked directly at Caroline "And he says that he'll only speak to Dr. Quinn." Caroline looked at me as my vision turned red and I was close to shifting. She quickly linked her fingers in mine that made me calm down and I growled"She will not be meeting him."
