The Opposed Alliance

Celine

Being with Jaxson for only a few minutes, I have came up with a few conclusions

One, he was attractive

Two, he was dangerous

Three, I didn't trust him, not one bit

So as we waited for Alejandro and Mike at the deserted Hub, I started to analyze more of what I have came across this perplexing night. My hip and head didn't really hurt anymore but my skin still felt like it was on fire where Jaxson was touching me.

Why was Mike involved in all of this and Why did Alejandro leave me? Maybe he didn't trust me. It's funny how I didn't even see him leave either. How did Jaxson even know him and get involved all do sudden? This world! You learn one thing new about yourself and everything turns upside down

Jaxson tapped his foot to keep himself occupied and looked out into the streetlights, eyes glowing. His curly black hair looked messy and yet perfect all at once. I'm sure my hair looked like a birds nest but didn't care at this point. But it was his eyes that captured me. They were something else and I was drawn to them. A purple that rimed all around his pupil, tinting lighter as it centered.

Mesmerized by his wonderous eyes, I didn't even notice that he caught me staring at him.

"Wow, didn't catch you as a stalker type. So sorry that I take away your concentration, but can't say it doesn't happen a lot. " Jaxson grinned at me. Ugh, he was the cocky, big ego type, great.

Turning away and ignoring his little comment, I ask "Why are your eyes purple anyways?" I wasn't cold but I still felt a shiver run down my spine every time I laid eyes on him, and I didn't like it. Hell, I didn't even know what the feeling meant or if it was good or not.

Jaxson lets his hand graze his hair as he sighs. "I guess I was born with them or something. I don't know. But I do like the attention I get with them, especially from the ladies." He winks at me and I roll my eyes.

Where the hell are those two and what did they want? I thought. How am I gonna contact Carter and tell him the predicament that I am now situated in? Things are not piecing together right at all.

The short silence was interrupted by a voice I've heard before.

"Well, well, well. Glad you both could make it." Mike said coming up from the sidewalk to side by me and Jaxson, Alejandro not far behind.

"I see Celine has been taking a notice in some aspires, haven't you?"Mike adds and I stand up.

"Okay, seriously what are you rambling about? You just got here and I'm already confused."

Jaxson has a comment of his own and says "Yeah this is kinda weird. You followed me out of your club and then follow us to the bar all while getting some random dude to follow you around too. You're a creepy little man." Jaxson is now standing too, beside me.

Mike merely laughs at this along with Alejandro. What is really going on here? I give Jaxson a questioning glance and he sends me one in return.

"The real question here is if you know who you really are or not? And my guess is one out of two of you know the truth." Mike looks at me and smiles, a smile that is ruthless and cold. This is not a side of Mike I've ever seen. I guess you really can't trust anyone these days.

I gulp.

How can Jaxson not know what he is, does he not know what a Variant is? I always concluded that he was, the purple eyes making that super clear, but is he blind from a world he is a part of?
