Scarlette recently lost her mother and has been on the run ever since. She has no idea that she is one of the most powerful witches around. She meets a mysterious stranger, feels a pull to him not knowing he has dark secrets of his own. What happens...
When Scarlette left with Chloe, I felt a pain shoot through my heart. I know she felt confused. She didn't understand the mate bond we shared or what it even means. She doesn't realize that she is powerful or what I even am. How can I tell her all of this without scaring her away?
"Don't worry Jax, give her time. She'll come around." Mitch said trying to comfort me. "You don't understand Mitch, your mate has always known that she is a witch and that you're a were. Mine doesn't even know any of these things exist, let alone that she is one herself!" I yelled as I walked over to my harley davidson. "We really need to tell her man. Chloe can try to unbind her powers." Mitch suggested. "Then what Mitch? She finds out she's a witch by accidentally blowing up her apartment building by waving her fucking hand?" I yelled before starting my bike.
I took off before he could answer me and rode back to the pack house to try to come up with a plan and not to lose my shit and destroy anything. Perks of being an alpha, I feel emotions stronger than other weres, especially when it comes to my mate, my Luna. I turned my phone on silent mode when I walked into my office. I didn't feel like hearing any inspirational shit from Chloe anytime soon. I took off my shirt and decided to work out to blow some steam. I left my phone in my office and walked downstairs to the pack house gym. I spent the next two hours straight on my punching bag. After taking a shower and cooling off, I felt slightly calmer, but not much more. I decided to check my phone in case there was an emergency. My pack members would've mindlinked me but others couldn't. I saw that I had one text from Chloe and huffed aloud as I clicked on it.
Chloe: Don't hate me, but I have a plan. By tomorrow night, everything will be okay. :-)
I couldn't even begin to figure out what Chloe was up to. Shit. I tried calling her to demand that she tells me her plan but she wouldn't answer her phone.
Me: Chloe. Answer your phone!!!
Chloe: Nope. Trust me Jax.
Chloe: Oh! Don't bother trying to mindlink me in your Alpha tone either. I blocked you out.
Damn her and her witch genes!! I mindlinked Mitch instead. Mitch. What the fuck is Chloe planning? I waited a moment before he mindlinked me back. I honestly have no clue man. She has me blocked from her mind too. Whatever it is, she's determined to make this right.
Well shit. I know Chloe is stubborn, but what if whatever she's planning makes everything worse? If it could get worse that is. I need to learn more about Scarlette's background. I grabbed my phone again and called Jareth. "Jax? What's up?" Jareth answered. "I need you tell me everything you know about Scarlette." I told him. There was silence on the other end before I heard him sigh. "I'll be at your pack house in a little while. " he said and hung up.
I poured some whiskey over ice and carried my glass over to the couch, sat down and watched the fire roar in our fireplace.

I heard my front door open and shut. Vamp speed. I almost forgot about that. "Drowing your sorrows so soon?" Jareth joked as he poured himself a drink. "If she really is the last descendant of the Salem witches, you know what this means Jareth." I told him solemnly. "Ah. The prophecy." Jareth said as he sipped his whiskey and sat down on the other side of the couch. "A bit poetic if you ask me." Jareth said with a smile. I glared at him. I didn't find anything funny nor poetic about this. "Jareth be serious for a moment. Scarlette is already in danger as it is but she has no idea what kind of danger she will be in if she is part of the prophecy." I snapped at him and finished my drink.
After a moment of silence, Jareth spoke up. "Jax I understand your concern for her, she is your mate after all. You need to see the bigger picture here. Not only will she be your Luna and your pack's Luna, but she will be the most powerful witch alive and could potentially become the world's first hybrid."
I froze when he stated the last part. Hybrid? That's a myth. There has never been a hybrid before, well a successful one that is. Every single witch, were, and vamp that ever attempted to become a hybrid died trying. "Impossible." I said as I shook my head. I stood up to refill my drink. "Such the cynic. Have you not read your history Jax? Did your grandparents and parents teach you nothing?" Jareth scolded me, I growled lowly warning him. "The last living descendant of the Salem witches was always meant to be mated to one of the strongest alphas so that he could not only mate her, but bite her and change her into a hybrid. Half witch and half were. Together they will ensure that the treaty is maintained and they will lead all of the supernaturals and maintain the peace." Jareth explained.
I thought over his words. What scared me, is that she is in fact mated to me, one of the strongest alphas. My bloodline and hers combined alone would create powerful pups. If she became a hybrid, my godess. We would be the most powerful leaders and our pups would be even more powerful. Great, even more big news to throw her way.
"How do I tell her Jareth? How do I tell her everything?" I asked him sadly. "I can't help you with that I'm afraid. All I can tell you is that you better do it soon before she finds out the hard way Jax. It will only be worse if you keep waiting." With that, Jareth finished his drink and stood up. "I'll be leaving now. I hope I've been some help in some way." Jareth said as he headed towards the door. "Thank you." I called after him.
I crawled into my bed and hugged my pillow to me wishing that it was Scarlette. I had too many questions on my mind. Will she reject me? Will she be afraid of me or herself? Will she run away? I groaned and finally closed my eyes and found sleep.
