Chapter 42: Chapter Forty-Two

**Alexandria**

I instantly know this bitch is going to be a problem, but I will not let her push me out, I already bear the Luna mark and my wolf has returned and seems to be stronger than ever before. I knew I was already strong because my dad is the head warrior of my old pack and so I can defend myself easily, but since everything that has happened and when my wolf returned, she seems so much stronger. So, this girl in the crowd doesn’t have me worried at all.

As I look around, I come back to her, and she looks at me and glares at me and looks at me like she is trying to kill me with her looks. I simply return my look to her and give her a smirk and wrap my arms around Jaxson and lean up to him and kiss him with more than enough love to show her she is no longer welcome in MY pack house.

When I look back out to the crowd she is longer there, and I mentally prepare myself for a battle with this bitch. When we make our way inside and up to our room, I find the strength to ask Jaxson the dreaded question I need to know an answer to, “Jaxson, who was the she-wolf in the crowd that look like she had a stick up her ass?”

He looks a little sheepish when I ask. So now I know my hunch is correct, but he manages to get out, “she is an old fling that I was with once a long time ago and she refuses to accept the fact that she will never be my Luna, but you don’t need to worry love, I will handle her.”

“No Jax, I need to be able to be a strong Luna and show this pack that my Alpha does not fight my battles for me, if she becomes a problem for me, I need to be able to handle it myself. If the pack sees you dealing with it, the pack will think I’m not strong enough to be their Luna.”

He looks at me like he is searching for doubt before he answers, “Okay baby, I will let you handle it, but if I feel like it is becoming too much of a problem, I will not hesitate to step in. I will not have my pack disrespecting their Luna.”

We smile at each other, and Jaxson shows me around the rest of the pack house, he shows me the kitchen, the backyard, the den, where I can find the workout room and we even have an entrainment room, I cannot wait to use that room! Annie is going to love it here. I can’t wait for her to get here later.

Jaxson and I make our way back up to our room and snuggle in for a power nap and some special loving’.

I can’t wait to start a family together with Jaxson.

After Jaxson and I wake up from our nap we make our way downstairs to the kitchen of the packhouse and before we make it to the kitchen, I can smell something delicious, and I can hear little whispers and snickers coming from people sitting around the table.

When Jaxson and I make it to the kitchen I see Ashley and a few others sitting at our table eating and when I make eye contact with other pack members sitting at the table and when they realize I am standing there they quickly look towards the floor and show their necks in submission to me and Jaxson.

Before Jaxson can even say anything I gently grab his wrist to let him know I want to handle this. I look to Ashley, and she has a smug look on her face as she is seated in my chair to the left of Jaxson’s which is located at the head of the table. I walk towards her and give her a look that lets her know she needs to get her ass out of my chair that she is currently occupying thinking she has a right to sit in the Luna’s chair.

I walk over to her and as politely as I can muster, I tell her, “Excuse me Ashley, but I believe you are sitting in the Luna’s chair, and as I'm sure you have heard yesterday in front of the pack house that I am the Luna, and I am Alpha Jaxson’s mate, NOT YOU! So……if you don't mind, I would like to sit down and eat dinner in MY chair…. Please.”

I continue to stand here and wait for her to move out of my seat and as she continues to stare me down with her glare, her face begins to turn red with the anger she feels against me and she thinks she is going to be able to beat me at this game she keeps trying to play, but what she doesn't realize is that I may be small, but my father was the top warrior in my old pack and my father would train me the same way he trained all the males in that pack, she isn’t going to win this battle.

She turns to look at Jaxson like he is going to save her and tell me to kick rocks.

“Jaxson, baby….” I cut her off before she can get another word out.

“EXCUSE ME?”

This bitch thinks she is going to swoop in and take my mate, she has another thing coming. Jaxson starts to let the rumble loose from his chest and I gently grasp his hand to let him know I got this.

“Ashley! First, you will address MY MATE as ALPHA! He is not your mate or your baby, you will address the both of us with respect and the proper title that we have over you. If you can’t then we will find a way to help you remember and I’m sure there are plenty of ways to motivate you to keep your place in this pack. Do I make myself clear?”

Silence…. nothing but silence comes from her, and I feel the need to clarify.

“I asked you a question Ashley.”

Eventually she gives up the fight and gets up from my chair and responds with, “Yes Luna, yes, Alpha.” and gives a huff and storms off out of the kitchen like a toddler that got their favorite toy taken away.

I must say that was kind of fun, I enjoyed putting that bitch in her place, let’s see if she can stay there. If not, I have loads of idea to help motivate her, I am a top warrior’s daughter after all, I have accompanied my dad plenty of times as I got older when it came to taking care rogue wolves.

Once we sit down to eat our delicious dinner together with a few other pack members and Annie and John too we sit and talk and enjoy everyone’s company. I have missed hanging out with Annie and getting do girly things together.

“Hey, Alex, it's been a while since we did anything together, why don’t we go shopping tomorrow afternoon, get our nails and hair did and get some new clothes.”

She adds on a wink at the end, so I know she is being sneaky with the clothes comment. and it's like she was reading my mind.

“Sure, that sounds fun. I could use a new look.”

I turn to Jaxson and ask, “What do you think babe? You have anything special planned you need me for tomorrow?”

“Not until tomorrow night my little mate, I will give you my card and you and Annie go enjoy yourselves.”

He reaches into his wallet to give me his card and I feel odd taking it, but I know he will give me a hard time if I don’t.

“Thanks babe.”

I lean over and give him a sweet kiss as I pull away, I hear a rumble deep in his chest, he is going to be ready for bed sooner than usual.

We sit and enjoy the rest of our dinner together and chat with each other and a few other pack members and talk about what Annie and I will be doing tomorrow, then Jaxson gives me a heated look that tells me he is ready to head upstairs and get ready for bed, but I know by the look in his eye we won’t be sleeping for a while still, and if I’m honest with myself, I’m not interested in sleeping right away either.

“Okay guys, Jaxson and I are going to head up and get ready for bed. enjoy the rest of your night, Annie, I will see you tomorrow, we can meet up right out from after lunch.”

“Okay Alex, See you tomorrow. Oh, and Alex?”

“Yes?”

“Try to keep the moaning and noises to a minimum.”

Before I can respond I hear a growl from behind me and I know it’s my alpha giving Annie a warning about making me feel embarrassed. and when I turn to look at him, I say, “Jax, its fine, if I’m honest I don’t mind the whole pack house knowing how well my Alpha pleases me and takes care of my needs.”

And when I catch the look in his eye, I take off running up the stairs towards our room because I know what it does to him when he hears me call him Alpha the way I do.

I’m almost to our door when I feel a set of arms wrap around me from behind and I let out a squeal and the next thing I know I am thrown onto our bed and Jaxson is stalking me like I’m his prey that he is about to devour and I am looking forward to all the ways he will devour me, he takes a deep breath and I know now he can smell my arousal and he picks up his pace a bit more and he climbs on top of me and before I know he has me breathless and sated and ready for sleep but I know sleep won’t come for some time yet.

After our time together spending most of the night with him inside of me and devouring my body like a man starved. we are finally snuggled up together in each other’s arms and drifting off to sleep for the night.
