Summer Moon

Chapter 21: Hurt

Jaxon Pov

I didn't want to leave her this morning but I have to or they will know about us.

I creep out of the back window in the bathroom before I started running in the woods, taking a detour before running back to my cabin.

I got there and Donovan is already there, sitting in the front porch.

"What are you doing here?" I ask.

"I came to check if she's alright" he said and I raise my brow at him in suspicious.

"Shouldn't you be asking Annadin about that?" I walk up to him. He shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't know but you seem to have something with her" he said.

I chuckle at him, "sense jealous that I may got her before any of yous"

Donovan shook his head. "I would love to but-"

"You're already with Annadin" I finished up for him. He look taken aback before clearing his throat.

"How do you know?" he ask.

"I saw you two the other day outside your cabin" I told him and I went to stand next to him, now facing the front.

"Don't worry, your secret is safe with me" I said and Donovan rub his neck.

"Yeah, her and me-" he look at me, his eyes widen. "It's not... She's not-"

"I know Don and like I said your secret is safe with me" I reaffirmed and he let out a heavy sigh.

"Yeah, it's a lot of risk and pretty much dangerous but I can't take the distance between us" he confess and I thought for a second of my relationship with Marie.

It hurt as hell to know that were in this camp together but we're not together, together.

"This whole thing hanging  on our head is crazy but it's what they set out and we can't turn it around" he added. I have to disagree with him on that. It doesn't really matter if we die of it as long as we start the uproar the others will carry it on and complete it.

It will take years as the council is pretty much set but one day, they'll no more.

"Anyways, are you coming to the meeting?" he ask.

"I mean its for anyone, so I'll be there" I reply.

"Late as always" he smirk abd I chuckle.

"Oh you know me" I said and turn back, opening the front door.

I went inside and instantly go to take a shower before I went downstairs to make myself breakfast. The meeting will probably take longer and I am not looking forward to see that guys face.

I clean up my kitchen before I head to go. However, suddenly I am overwhelmed by this anxiety.

"What's going on?" I ask my wolf as I try to calm myself.

"Mate is in trouble" he said and I wonder. How can she be in trouble when she's in a meeting.

Suddenly a pain gash to my shoulder and I let out a scream. "Oh no she's hurt" I whisper and try to regain control of my strength.

She's hurting. I mumbled and without another second thought I shifted into my wolf.

"Find her!" my wolf keep on running, finding her scent.

"Mate's hurt" those two words keep on ringing through my head as I desperately run into my wolf form searching for her.

"She's not in a meeting" he said and we run towards the cabin.

Donovan then link me. "She's hurt, please if you're near her. Help her"

I try to ask but his next words clear tings up. "My mate is hurt" he said.

His mate didn't matter to me it was Marie that got me worried.

As I near the cabin I hear things crashing and then the scream. I rush inside then jump through steps, skipping steps until I reach her room.

I bulge inside and let out a ferocious growl. Seeing two of the unknown wolves pinning my mate on the ground and one holding Annadin.

My blood boils and all I want is nothing but hunger for their blood.

My mate hurt.

They hurt her but I won't just hurt them. I am killing these bastards with my bare hands.
