The Mating Rights

Chapter 22

Jesse's POV

   I'm driving Taya home in the car that she took when she left me. I finally got my girl back and I'm going to do whatever it takes to keep her. We packed up some of her things in a duffel bag and went downstairs to talk with her aunt and uncle. I had to sit through the protective "if you do anything to hurt her" speech with her uncle Richard. He is quite fond of her and I think it's rather cute so I allowed it. His father was a werewolf but he didn't inherit the gene because his father was a very low rank so, he knew about us and her aunt is an attorney for some werewolves. They both knew of werewolves existence but never thought their niece would be the mate to an alpha. That is probably why they didn't flip out when they found out that she was staying with me... after I had taken her. 

   I look over at Taya and she is fast asleep. I can tell she hasn't slept much since what in her head was a break up and I know she needs it. I'd say it was just a tiny break but I'll let her think she had the option to break up with me. We're home in 15 minutes and I grab her duffel bag and put it over her shoulder. I pick her up and carry her to the elevator. We ride up and I can instantly tell something is wrong. I wake her and set her on her feet. 

   "Taya, something is wrong. I feel dark magic around us. I want you to run with me to the room the second these elevator doors open, okay", I say to her. 

   I don't know what the magic is for. I don't have many enemies and none of them would be stupid enough to attack so close to home base. My warriors are strong and adept to home invasions. It would be a kamikaze mission to do such a thing. 

   "Okay Jess", she says startled awake. 

   The elevator doors open and we are running towards the room. I open the door and shut it immediately. I put her duffel bag down on the dresser top and look towards the bed. Taya is laying there in a dark blue lingerie set and I'm confused as to how she moved and changed on the bed so quickly without me noticing. I open my mouth to ask her but stop as she sprays a mist around her body. I'm confused for a second then I'm overcome with lust for her. 

   I stalk towards the bed but all the while something feels wrong. Taya sits on her knees at the edge of the bed and strokes my legs then reaches behind and grabs my butt. This feels wrong and I can't understand why until Taya presses her lips to mine. 

   Suddenly I feel excruciating pain in my chest. I feel it and I'm crippled. I realize that it's not my pain, it's Taya's and I look back towards the door to see Taya stand there trying to open the locked door. She's crying and I don't get why. 

   I look back at the bed and see Jasmine sitting there. My wolf starts to shift realizing what happened and Jasmine looks scared. 

   "I'm.. I'm sorry Jesse. I didn't know she was going to be home tonight", the slut lies through her teeth. I see her pull the spray bottle out again and rush to snatch it from her. 

   "It's Alpha Jesse to you whore. You dare to try to enchant me? Who the fuck do you think you are", I yell in her face grabbing her by the hair and forcing her to look me in the eye. 

   I'm seconds from ripping her head off when Taya, my real Taya, comes to me and grabs my arms. She was reading my thoughts and I'm sure she's caught on to what's happened. 

   "Jesse, don't hurt her. I've called Max to come deal with her just please. Calm down", a sweet angel like voice asks me. I look down at Taya and pull her to my chest even with Jasmine's hair gripped in my other hand. 

   "I'm so sorry, I thought she was you it was a spell. Don't leave", I plead with her.

   "Jesse don't worry, I know. I understand. I love you. Just calm down", she asks me.

   Jasmine is crying and she deserves every piece of this but my world is in my arms and Jasmine didn't ruin us so I let her go. Max walks in as if on que and I mind link him the events that had just transpired. 

   "Max, take this whore down to the pack prisons", I tell him sternly. 

   She whimpers and Max nods and grabs her off of the bed. There are two warriors outside and they are shocked when they find out what happened. They comply and help Max who is taking Jasmine down to the prisons. 

   Taya looks at me and sighs, "could we go brush our teeth and then make out for a while"?

   God damn I'm the luckiest man alive. "Thank you", I tell her and then lead her to the bathroom. I get out the toothbrush and set about brushing her teeth then mine. 

   We go back out to the room then she asks, "did you ever fuck her in this bed". 

   I shake my head, "no, never in any bed my love. I told you what we did wasn't romantic. It wasn't love". 

   She smiles at me then says, "let me erase the taste of her from your mouth". 

   And I let her do just that.
