Chapter 25: Chapter Twenty-Five

**Jaxson**

He looks a bit shell-shocked at her response, but before she can lead me away, he manages to get one last response.

“Alex, this isn’t over, I will have what belongs to me.”

She freezes in place for a moment, then turns to him and gives him her best burn in hell look.

“James after tonight, it won’t matter. You will have no claim on me anymore and there will be nothing you can do. You won’t feel anything for me anymore. So just go back to Jackie and enjoy your life with that bimbo you call a Luna.”

With her ending statement to him I feel the need to show that she is mine and he will not have my mate, I gently place her behind me, I feel the need to make sure he knows that she doesn’t belong to him, I bend down just a bit so that I am at his eye level, which ends up being quite a bit since I am well over 6’4” and I give him my

response.

“James, this beautiful she-wolf is MY MATE, not yours, you WILL stay away from her.”

I then stand to my full height and as I do I see his eyes follow me up so he can keep eye contact with me, and I feel her grasp my hand again when she turns to me and gives me her heart melting killer smile, I nod for her to head that way and we walk back to enjoy the rest of the evening together.

We make our way out to the yard, and I have the strong need to ask her what all that was about with James.

“Alexandria,”

“Just Alex, please.”

“Okay, Alex, if you don't mind me asking, what was he talking about back there when he said he made a mistake about what he did to you on your birthday?”

She again becomes a little tense, and I don't like it, he makes my mate feel uncomfortable and I instantly want to fix it.

“I guess I should tell you because you will find out one way or another.”

Now I feel tense, she grabs my hands and I begin to feel calm before she even begins to explain everything.

“My eighteenth birthday was Monday, and well as you know some werewolves find their mate right when they turn eighteen, and well I was in school on my birthday, my friend Annie who you met earlier and is now mated to your Beta John but anyway she and I were both there that day and she had no idea of what I am about to tell you until the next day. But….Well….James was my mate.”

she looks down like she is ashamed, I feel my heart breaking, he was her mate. What does she mean? Then it occurs to me that she said WAS, that must mean…

”What do you mean when you say he WAS your mate?”

I need to hear her say the words I'm thinking, I need to know if they are true or not. She takes a deep breath and tells me exactly what I knew. she goes on to tell me that he rejected her that day and how she was hurt but it was only because of the bond that made her sad, and how she was constantly bullied by him and his friends along with his girlfriend Jackie and her friends and how Annie was her only friend in school and how her life has been so hard.

I feel like my wolf is on the edge and when she grabs my hands it's like she knew I was close to shifting and going to tear this place apart, but when she looks up at me.

“Please you can't say anything to anyone about what James and Jackie have done to me, my parents don't know. And I don't want to get anyone in trouble. Annie is the only person who knows everything.”

I look into her eyes and release the breath I didn't realize I was holding, and I can't help but smile at her.

“I'm sorry you had to go through all that, but I also I can’t help that I am not sorry that he rejected you, because he was stupid enough to let you go, that means I get the chance to show you how a real mate is supposed to treat his Luna, and now I get the chance to show you how I plan to treat you, my queen. I promise not to say anything to anyone about James and Jackie….yet, but I will not hold off on telling them, we will have to tell them eventually.”

I pull her into my arms and give her a warm hug and breathe in her scent deep enough to calm me and my wolf, her scent is heavenly and brings me peace and makes me want to find the moon Goddess and thank her personally for bringing this wonderful she-wolf into my life. I plan to show Alex exactly how a queen deserves to be treated.

“You are my Luna; my queen and I plan to show you exactly how you deserve to be treated.”

She looks up at me and I think I just found my new favorite color, her blush is the cutest shade of pink and I can’t wait to see where else she blushes and then my mind starts to drift into other ways of making her blush, I can’t wait to make her blush more, I gently grasp her cheek in my palm and tell her, “And I plan to start right now with a dance.”

And I can’t help but make her blush a little more by saying, “I can’t wait to see where else you blush.”

Then her blush gets deeper, and she says, “Come on Romeo let's dance.”

This night just got so much better. We make our way back inside and to the dance floor and then we spend the rest of the night getting to know each other and spending time together and we find out everything from our favorite colors and what our favorite foods are and what we like to do in our free time.

Before we know it, it has become late in the evening, and when it's time to say goodnight, it's hard to let her leave but I know I will see her again tomorrow.

She and I have discussed getting together tomorrow and spending time together before she comes back to my pack with me, so I will call my dad tomorrow and tell him the good news and tell him that I need to extend my trip here and I can't wait to show her my pack lands and introduce her to my pack as my Luna. We share one last dance together before we decide to call it a night and I walk her back to her house for the night.

“I will come to see you tomorrow and we can spend the day together, you can show me around your pack lands.”

She puts a slight smile on her face and says, “Okay ALPHA,”

The way she just said Alpha has done something to me, and I think she knows by the smirk on her face and the way she can see the look on my face.

“I can’t wait to see you tomorrow; we will make a day of it together.”

We make it back to her house, and along the way we talk, and I tell her how I want to show her all my favorite places to visit on my pack lands, and how I can’t wait to show her when she comes to my pack. When we make it to her house, I feel a little hesitant about asking but I ask anyway, “I was hoping I could give you a small kiss goodnight, I know we just met but I can't help it and my wolf is going crazy.”

She blushes again, and says, “I think that would be okay.”

She places her hands in mine and leans up on her tiptoes but even on her tip toes she still can’t quite reach my lips I have to bend down a bit to reach her, I love how tiny she is compared to me, she has all that I am looking for in my perfect mate, she is like the goddess herself. She Is my own personal moon goddess; she is my queen and we have only known each other for a few hours.

And she already has me wrapped around her little finger. But when her lips touch mine, I feel like I am in heaven, her lips taste like Vanilla and Cherry and I can't help but get lost in her kiss, she is doing things to me that I haven’t felt in so long, if ever. I knew from the stories my father would tell me about finding your true mate, but I guess I never knew what it truly felt like until this very moment.

You can always have other wolves tell you what it feels like to find your true mate and what it feels like to share your first kiss together, but you never really understand the true feeling until your experience it for yourself.

When we finally pull away it’s only because we need to breathe and when I reluctantly pull away, we are both panting and trying to catch our breath, with my head leaning against hers I tell her, “Can I come to you in the morning?”

She smiles at me and says, “sounds good. Goodnight, Alpha.” There it is again; I’m going to need a cold shower when I get back to the Pack house. “Goodnight my queen.”

I wait until she is inside, and I turn to walk back to the packhouse with a huge smile on my face. I make it back to the Pack house and make my way to my room so I can have my cold shower.

After my shower I walk out of my room and down the hall towards John’s room to tell him everything about my night with my mate and his Luna, but when I make it to his door, I hear moans and groans coming from inside and I chuckle to myself as I turn and head back to my room.

I can always talk to him about it later. They didn’t waste any time mating each other. That’s okay though, after everything he has been through in his life, he deserves a good woman in his life. I’m happy for him and I can’t wait to get to know his mate and maybe she could help him by taking on some of the Beta duties alongside John.

I make my way back to my room and crawl into bed for a good night’s rest before I get to spend the day with my mate tomorrow, as I lay in bed I begin to think about our kiss and how my hands felt on her luscious curves and I think about her blush and I begin to wonder where else she would blush if I tried, then my mind starts to drift and I think I may need another cold shower, but before I could get up to do that I start to drift to sleep with thoughts of my beautiful mate.
