Chapter 29: Chapter Twenty-Nine

**Jaxson**

That seems to get everyone to quiet down quickly, and they end up baring their necks to me in submission.

I walk over to James and Jackie, and I know he can see the rage on my face, and he tries to remain strong, but he knows it’s no use, he cowers like the scared little pup he is. He can tell I am already on edge because I was unable to find my mate right away. So, this little shit is about to feel my wrath because I know he had to have had something to do with my mate going missing.

My rage at this moment has so much power behind it that Alpha Robert wants to lower his head and submit to me, this little shit is going to tell me everything I need to know and right now.

When I look down at James his chin is just about on my chest because of our height difference and when I look down at him and I say, “Where is she you little shit?!”

He wants to lower his head but manages to resist, only because I didn’t put much authority into my tone.

“I don’t know what the hell you're talking about Alpha.”

He is lucky his father is here, or I would throw him across the room through the wall.

“I know you had something to do with Alex going missing. You may think your daddy will protect you but if I find one hair on her head out of place, I will have your head on a pike. I know about EVERYTHING.”

His dad manages to hear what I said and has a response to that.

“What are you talking about Jaxson? What has my son done?”

When I look to his dad, I now understand that Alpha Robert really had no idea what was going on with Alex at school. I now know that I must tell them everything, I sure hope Alexandria can forgive me for this. I take a deep breath and look to Alpha Robert and then to her parents.

“I hate to be the one to tell you all of this, especially since Alex has asked me not to say anything,” Annie looks at me and begs me with her eyes not to say anything, but I look to her and say, “I’m sorry but I must, it’s a matter of Alex’s safety now.”

I look back to Alex’s parents and continue my story.

“When I first met Alex, she had to inform me of how we even came to be mates in the first place, I wasn’t supposed to be her mate,” Her parents look at me with confusion written all over their faces. I take another deep breath and continue “James was supposed to be her mate,” Her mother lets out a gasp and her dad lets out a growl that I could have sworn would come from an Alpha if I didn’t know any better. That is when Alpha Robert has a look of rage on his face, “Robert, please let me finish before you handle James.”

Alpha Robert gives me a small nod and says, “Of course Jaxson, please, continue.”

Then I continue on, “As I was saying, James was supposed to be her mate, but he thought she was weak and wouldn’t be a very good Luna, so the day she turned eighteen, he figured out his mate was Alex and he rejected her right away and with Alex being as strong as she is, gave him a rejection as well right away as well, and before all of this she has come to despise him and Jackie along with all of their friends over the years because of the fact they would consistently bully and belittle her and make her feel fat and worthless.”

I manage to get the last of it out through clenched teeth and let a growl loose to show how close I am to losing control of my wolf. I turn to her parents and her dad looks how I feel, and he looks like he wants to rip into James for all the heartache he has given his sweet daughter.

“You. Little shit! I can't believe you! Are you that stupid and that heartless to reject my daughter? Or are you just that full of yourself to think that you feel nobody is good enough for you?”

James has a look of shame on his face.

“I’m sorry Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, I don’t know what to say, but I promise you I didn’t have anything to do with her going missing now.”

I can't believe after everything we have discovered about, and he is still lying to our faces. But I can tell her dad isn’t done yet, he turns to Alpha Robert.

“Alpha what I say next I hope you don’t take it personally, but I feel my family is no longer safe under your command within your pack. And When James becomes Alpha, I feel that our safety would be in even more jeopardy, and once we find Alex, I would like to leave the pack.”

He turns to his mate like he is looking for her to agree with him and she gives a slight nod in agreement with him. I take a Step towards her father.

“Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, once we find Alex, you are more than welcome to join my pack when Alex and I head home together. But for now, let's find our girl and get her home.”

He gives me a nod in agreement and I give him a gentle slap on his shoulder and a smile to his mate.

As we stand in the Alpha’s office with his Beta, my Beta, James and Jackie, along with her parents and Annie, I mind link John to let him know to keep an eye on James and Jackie. I don’t want anyone to know that I am onto him and that I still think he may have something to do with her going missing. I let John know to track their every move, no matter what it is. James and Jackie leave the office and that is when we start to track their moves.

I turn back towards the Alpha.

“I need to make a few calls and I will be back so we can make a proper plan to find my mate.”

I am going to make a call to my father and have him send my best trackers to find her. I turn to leave, and I stop dead in my tracks when I Make it outside the Alpha’s office to see James standing there. What I hear come out of James’ mouth doesn’t surprise me at all and I don’t believe a word he says.

“I hope you find her Alpha; I sure hate to see anything happen to her, I may not be her favorite person right now and I may not have true feelings for her other than the mate bond that was, but I don’t want to see anything horrible happen to her, despite everything, I still care and don’t want to see her hurt.”

“Yes, well for your sake you better hope I find her soon.”

Meanwhile Jackie has been silent the whole time she was in the office and now she is nowhere to be seen. I’m glad I put John on the task of keeping track of her and James. I don’t know what he ever saw in her, me personally I see her as nothing but a pathetic waste of space. It’s a shame that James thought she would be a better Luna than my Alex. I turn to walk away and make my way to my room to call my dad to have him send reinforcements.

When I make it to my room, I call my dad, and he picks up on the second ring.

“Good evening son, how are things with your little mate?”

I take a deep breath and it's like he already knows, “What's wrong son, what has happened with my future daughter-in-law?”

“Dad,” I pause so I don't break down during this call, I need to be strong for Alex, if I break down now, I feel like I may not be able to go on, but I need to find her, I need to stay strong for her. I take another deep breath and try again.

“Dad, something happened to Alex, someone took her, and I don't know who did it, but I have a feeling the little shit future Alpha James had something to do with it. I'm losing it here I don't know what to do, she is my mate. Goddess, if something happens to her…”

“Son, calm down you will find her. I will send our best trackers to help you find her, you need to be strong for her, she needs you Jaxson, just stay calm and keep your cool. If it turns out that James had something to do with her disappearance, then we will take care of it.”

“Okay dad, thanks for sending the trackers, and we will be having two new pack members aside from Alexandria, her parents want to join the pack once we find her, her dad feels like their safety has been put in too much jeopardy to want to remain here. “

“Okay son, I’ll put things into motion. Go get some rest and go find my daughter-in-law. I will have the trackers on the road in a couple hours, so they are there in the morning. We will find her Jax, don't worry, she is a strong girl. Try to get some sleep tonight and start your search again tomorrow morning.”

“Okay dad, thanks again. goodnight.”

“Goodnight son.”

When I hang up with my dad, I make my way back to the Alpha’s office to plan and let him know I have my best trackers coming to help us with the search.

Once we have a plan set, I make my way out of the office and back to my room to take a shower and when I’m done with my shower I dry off and change into a pair of running shorts and make my way to bed to try and get some rest before I begin my search for Alex tomorrow.

I’m not sure how it happened but lying-in bed thinking about what life will be like with Alex helps me relax a little and I eventually drift off to sleep dreaming of Me and Alex and what our pups will look like.

“I have to find her.”

With those final words that fall from my lips I drift off to a restless sleep.
