Her Reign

Chapter 19

JAXSON

I couldn’t get outside fast enough before I felt like I’m going to explode. This little shit had the nerve to go into my daughter’s bedroom and do God knows what to her. The thought of all the possibilities is driving me crazy.

I wanted nothing more than to beat the ever-loving shit out of him, but Alessia had to come in and stop me. I knew Alena had to have called her because when I left her, she was headed in the opposite direction.

I know Alena is getting older, but I don’t believe she is old enough to have a boyfriend. Besides, I don’t want her dating an alpha. I’ll be damned if he were to pressure her into having sex just because he can’t control himself.

I remember when I was his age. I was with Becca, and I always wanted sex. I couldn’t keep my hands off her. She would walk into the room, and I would automatically get hard.  We had such a connection, we thought at one time that we were mates.

I don’t care what Alena and Alessia say, I’m not going to be ok with this. I’m putting my foot down and forbidding this. They will not be together, and I hope he tries because I don’t mind putting my foot up his ass.

The back door opened, I turned to see Alessia coming out. I turned away from her because I already know how this conversation is going to go. She’s going to say what she wants and I'm going to say what I want. I’m going to end up sleeping somewhere else because Alessia is going to kick me out of my bed. It’s going to last until I give in, like I always do and apologize but this time I don’t think I’m wrong.

“Jaxson, I need you to relax. I can feel you and it feels like my chest is going to burst.” She said.

“The only way I'm going to calm down is when you tell me that you forced them to end whatever they got going on between them.” I said. I refused to look at her.

“Jax, you're her father. You love her and want what's best for her, but you also have to realize that she is growing up.” She said.

“NO! You're not going to come out here and defend them. I’m your husband, you need to stand by my wishes on this. She is still too young. He’s too old for her. He’s going to hurt her. He’s going to push her to have sex. I will not stand around and allow this because they think they care about each other. Dammit! He’s going to be an alpha in a couple months. He’ll be with his fucking mate, and she will be left broken. I’m her father! It’s my job to protect her. Alessia, you have to support me on this.” I said.

“It’s not like that. You have to calm down…” She said but I cut her off.

“Alessia, stop. They will not be together. End of discussion.” I said. I walked off the porch, shifting into my wolf. If I stayed there, we were only going to argue, and I don’t want to fight with her.

I ran through the woods as fast as I could. Everything is replaying in my head. I couldn’t calm myself and it only pissed me off even further. Alessia and Alena always get me to cave into whatever they want because I love them to death but not this time. I can’t. I won’t.

After being gone for hours, the sun was starting to set. I stopped and shifted back. I put my shorts on. I tied them to my leg before shifting. I could still feel my wolf wanting control. He hated the idea as much as I did. He wanted to go back to the house and beat that boy’s ass.

I’m standing there, my body is shaking. I swung and hit the tree. I punched repeatedly until my hands were a bloody mess. A loud deep growl came from within me that I'm sure everyone in the woods heard.

A few minutes passed when three patrol wolves came from behind the bushes to investigate what was going on. 

“Leave me!” I commanded.  

They all turned and ran away. They couldn’t leave fast enough because even though I was in my human form, my wolf was present. My eyes were black. The power that radiated off me was intense.

I sat there on a fallen tree, staring out through the dark woods. I’m not far from a lake and I can see the moon from a distance. It was peaceful but my nerves wouldn’t settle.  

I heard footprints behind me. I took a deep breath and smelled the scent of Thomas, Lucas, and Jessica. I’m sure Alessia sent them to find me but I’m not in the mood to talk right now. I just want to be alone.

“Hey big brother, what’s going on?” Jess said.

“I’m not in the mood right now, can you all please leave me alone?” I said.

“No can-do man, we saw what you did to the pack house. Alessia and Alena are upset. What happened?” Thomas asked.

“Don’t come out here acting like you don’t know. I know they told you what happened and if you're out here to tell me that I'm wrong and need to calm down, you're wasting your time.” I said.

I felt myself getting very agitated because Alessia does this all the time. When we disagree, she sends the others to talk to me.

“I know bits and pieces, not the whole story. I want to know what's going on through your head and why you feel the way you do.” Jess said.

I told them the whole story about walking in the bedroom, seeing what I saw. I told them what was said and what Alessia and I said on the back porch.

“Jax, I’m totally with you on this. I don’t think she is old enough to have a boyfriend. Besides, Damon has a lot of shit going on in his life. Daddy issues and from what I heard; he just ended a long-term relationship for some reason.” Thomas said.

“Both of you need to stop. Alena is 15, almost 16 years old. She’s not a little girl anymore. I know all of you see her as a child but all of us have raised her to be a smart, mature young woman. You must trust that she will do the right thing. We damn sure wouldn’t be having this conversation if it were Jace we were talking about.  Stop being sexist pigs, get her panties out of your ass and grow a pair. All of you are saying you don’t want him hurting her, but you're the one hurting her. You're making her choose between the guy she loves and her father. That's not fair. Jax, I was almost 23 when I met Lucas and you were ready to kill him so stop using that as an excuse.” Jessica shouted.

“She loves him?” I asked. I felt my heart drop into my stomach.

“Is that all you got from what I just said?! Oh my God, seriously! If you can’t get over yourself and real soon, you're going to be in the doghouse and lonely as hell. Alessia is pissed because of the way you acted and that you ran away from her. I so look forward to what she has in store for you buddy. I guess you like running around the kitchen, clucking like a damn chicken. I wonder what other things she can do to all of you?” She said. 

“Hey, I didn’t do anything. I haven’t said a word!” Lucas yelled.

“Baby, it's called guilt by association. Thank your boys for that. If they go in there acting like macho sexist assholes, wherever they sleep, you're sleeping too. Love ya guys.” She said. She turned and left back towards the house.

What the fuck just happened? My sister has been spending too much time with my wife.
