Chapter 21: Chapter 21
Jaxson
After coming home from being out all night with Jessica, I was exhausted and felt defeated. The disappointment and anger that Jess looked at me with was too much. She has always looked up to me and now with this whole Becca situation, it's just not the same.
I came through the door and saw Jake standing there. He looked stressed. "Man we need to talk. Let's go." He said going towards my office. I'm nervous because Jake is usually goofy and playful but now he was dead serious.
We get inside and close the door. "I think you should sit down. I need to tell you something and you need to stay calm." He said. "Ok, but hurry up because your freaking me out." I said.
He stood there, took a deep breath and ran both hands through his hair. "Last night after you left, I was in bed and with Emily. We heard yelling so I got up to see what was going on. I stood at the balcony when I noticed it was Becca and Alessia." He paused. I could feel my heart racing out of my chest. My wolf getting anxious.."I don't know what started it or what happened in the beginning but apparently Becca smelled you on her and flipped out. She hit Alessia." He paused again. My heart just dropped to my stomach. "You can tell at first, Alessia was trying to hold back but Becca kept on striking her several times.. She went for Alessia's throat. Alessia started defending herself and fought back. By the time I made it down the stairs, Becca's nose was broke, black eye and swollen cheek. Not once did I see her hit Becca anywhere other then the face. When I finally got to them, I caught Becca from falling and she immediately claimed Alessia attacked her. Yeah Alessia kicked her ass but Becca was the agressor." He said. I almost felt relieved that Alessia was ok. My wolf was fight to get out. He was pissed.
"Jax, Alessia will be ok but she looks bad. Her neck is scratched and bruised. It looks nasty. Emily had the doc check on Becca. Doc said she is fine. Emily cleaned up Alessia." He finished saying. I wanted to run to check up on her. This is all my fault. Jake must have sensed it because he told me that Emily told Jessica when she came in and she ran up to her. "Jess is still with her, she said she was going to stay until she woke up." Emily said walking through the door. She apparently heard our conversation. My head dropped. I felt so guilty.
They left and I just sat there for a while. Thinking of what I'm going to do. I got up and went to my room, stopping at Alessia's door but walked away. I doubt she wanted to see me anyway.
I opened my door and closed it behind me. Becca was laying in bed but awake. The TV was on. She turned it off and turned towards me. "Where were you all night?" She asked looking nervous. "I was out with my sister. What happened?" I asked wanting to know what she was going to say. Tears filled her eyes. "I went downstairs because I was hungry. I saw Alessia and she was taunting me about you wanting her. I told her you were mine and she attacked me. She just kept hitting me. Jax I didn't want to fight because of the baby but I had to, I had to protect our child. Look at my face, she broke my nose. Doc said I have to take it easy so the stress doesn't hurt the baby. Alessia has to go Jax, she can't stay here. You have to tell her to leave. She is a danger to me and our baby." She ranted.
I closed my eyes. I knew Becca was lying, I cut feel it plus I believe Jake plus since knowing Alessia and hearing about her from Jessica, Alessia doesn't sound like the type of woman to act like that.
"You know Jake saw the whole thing." I said. Her eyes widened, she knew I know she lied. I went to the window and turned my back to her. "Jax! Your scent was all over her! Ever since she came here, I knew something was wrong! You want her don't you?!"
Taking a deep breath, I turned to her. "I slept with her. While you were gone, we had sex a few times." I said.
Tears ran down her face. She looked devastated. I sat at the bottom of the bed. I put my elbows on my knees and covered my face with my hands.
"WHY? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO US? I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME! I'M PREGNANT WITH YOUR CHILD AND YOU TELL ME YOU CHEATED ON ME WITH THAT BITCH!" She screamed.
My wolf started fighting to get out again. He didn't like her talking about our mate like that. "Becca it's more complicated then that, I didn't just hook up with her. She is my mate." I whispered.
Becca's jaw dropped wide open, her eyes were huge and her face paled instantly. "She doesn't know ok, I haven't told her she's my mate. I didn't mean for any of this to happen. When I saw her, with her being human and not knowing I thought I could just not tell her and still be with you but the bond is strong." I said. She just sat there crying. After a while, she got up and stood in front of me. "I rejected my mate to be with you, you promised you would do the same. We are going to have a baby together. You can't leave me." She pleaded. I was stunned. I didn't know she rejected her mate. She never told me she found him. We talked about this several times and she kept this from me. If I had known, I would have told her to be with him.
"You never told me you found your mate and rejected him. Who is he?" I asked. She stood there not saying anything. I was fuming. "WHO IS HE?" I yelled. She flinched and took a step back. "It doesn't matter, he's nobody. I chose you. We are going to be a family and that what matters." She responded and got back into bed.
"Doc said for you to stay in bed so I'll have your meals brought up to you, do not leave this room." I said walking out.
I was angry. I was confused. She lied to me. But the fact remains, she is still pregnant with my child. If she wasn't, I would be claiming my mate right now and I'd send her back to hers but that's not an option now. I have to do whats best for my baby.
I walked into the kitchen where Emily, Jake and Thomas were standing. They looked at me, not sure what to say. I helped bring the food to the dining room and we all sat down.
Jessica and Alessia walked in. My heart dropped, my wolf whined. Her neck. Oh my god. Tears filled my eyes but they didn't drop. I had to look away.
I wanted to run to her and hold her but I couldn't. I might be furious with Becca but I couldn't abandon her. I didn't want another man raising my child. I wanted to be there for it all.
This is what I have to do. I can do this.
'Please go to our mate.' My wolf whined. 'No, we can't be with her, stop forcing her on me. It's only making things worse for all of us. If you truly love her, you will let her be.' I said back to my wolf. He whined and I felt him slip away. I felt empty.
Alessia sat down at the table. She ignored me the entire time. Not once did she look at me. Nobody at the table spoke to me. They held their conversations between them but it didn't include me.
I got up after finishing and went to my office. I locked myself away in there all day. I didn't want to speak to anyone
