Capítulo 23: Chapter 23
JAXSON
It has been three weeks since I've talked to Alessia. She won't even look at me. When she sees me come towards her, she turns around and goes the other way. A couple of times, I've managed to corner her, just to hear her voice but Emily or Jessica are always on guard and pull her away from me.
I can't blame them though. I made my choice. Holding on to her isn't fair to her. I just didn't think it would be this hard. I can see it's hurting her too. The bond is still so strong. I'm sure that she feels it too but doesn't know what it is.
I'm in a meeting with a two other alphas from the area, Chase and William. We are suppose to be discussing alliances and and treaties but I'm not paying attention. My thoughts are on her.
I haven't spoken to my wolf in three weeks either. I don't feel him except when I'm around her. I feel his sadness. If I speak to him about anything, he just ignores me.
Today when I was leaving for my meeting, Becca and I have been arguing. She kept whining and it was really irritating me. She is upset with me because I haven't touched her since being with Alessia. I can't, now that I know it causes her pain. I opened the front door and slammed into Alessia. My mind was so distracted that i didn't even smell her until my chest was against hers. I reached my arms around her waist to keep her from falling. After she regained her balance, I still held on to her. I put my face in her neck. Even though I could smell Micah, both my wolf and I calmed down. My body has instantly felt a peace. I couldn't help but kiss her neck. It felt so good.
She tried to push me away. I couldn't help but ask her for a minute to hold her. I needed it more then she will ever know. She gave it to me. She stopped pushing me away. I felt her hands on my chest. She was relaxing her body.
Her hands made their way to my sides and she held it.
Then I heard Becca's voice calling my name. Alessia pushed me away with such force I stumbled back. She looked at me like she hated me. What have I done? I fucked up.
I was pulled from my thoughts when the door opened and Micah came in. I knew he was suppose to be here but here he comes almost an hour late.
"Sorry for being late, I got caught up in a very important phone call." He said while smirking at me.
The conversation got off track with the other alphas. They started talking about females. Only one of us has a mate so they were talking about different conquests.
I just sat there because I didn't want to be having this conversation.
"I recently met this amazing woman and things are going great. She's not my mate but I could definitely see a future with her." Micah said while staring at me. My wolf was ready to make an appearance because we both know who he was talking about. "Oh really, what is she like?" Alpha Chase said. Micah pulled out his phone and turned it around showing everyone a picture of Alessia and him. He had his arms around her, staring at her. She was smiling at the camera. I was trying desperately to keep my wolf at bay. I'm digging my claws into the chair. He's watching my every move. "Oh Jaxson knows her, she actually lives with him. She is his sister's best friend. Come on Jaxson, I know you fucked her, what is she like?" He said.
That's all it took. I flipped the table, it flew across the room. I shifted into my wolf. He was ready to shred Micah to pieces. How the hell was he going to disrespect her like that.
Micah shifted as well. I lounged at him. The other two alphas shifted as well trying to break us up. My claws tore into his chest. He bit down on my shoulder. I flipped him and my claws ran across his face. His claws dug into the bite mark on my shoulder. As he tried to dig deeper, the other alphas managed to get in between us. "SHIFT!" Chase yelled.
By the time I shifted, I noticed that all our betas had entered the room. Jake handed me shorts. Other wolves came in fixing the furniture and put it in place.
"What the hell is going on?!" Chase yelled. I'm still fuming. I have blood running down my chest from my shoulder. It's deep so it will take a while to heal. "Jaxson is mad that I'm involved with his mate. It's not my fault that you didn't accept her so now she is mine to do as I please." Micah said. I went after him again. I punched him in the nose, breaking it. He punched me in the mouth, busting my lip. Everyone got between us again. "Stay the fuck away from her, you wanna disrespect her like that, talk about her like she some whore. I will kill you!" I yelled. I have so many men holding on to me and I'm flinging them around like they are nothing. He's just standing there with a fucking smirk on his face.
Alpha William escorted Micah out of the room. Chase and Jake tried to calm me down. Jake was shocked. He's my best friend and he's just finding out that I found my mate. He adores Alessia and I'm sure he's going to be pissed at me. He couldn't stand Becca.
I sit in the chair shaking, I can't calm down. I've known Micah has been spending time with Alessia. No matter how much I hate it. I couldn't say nothing. But today proves that she is just a pawn to get at me. But how did he find out she was my mate? There are only three people that know. Alessia doesn't know so she couldn't have told him. I doubt she would sit there and describe the sex we had with him. This doesn't make sense.
I may hate the son of a bitch and vice versa but we've not actually done anything to each other to cause him to want to come after me, possibly start a war over.
My body is shaking. My fists are balled tight. I want to finish what I started but I have to calm down.
"Man, what the hell is going on? How the fuck is Alessia your mate?" Jake asked. Chase was sitting there next to him, waiting for me to answer.
"She showed up. I was with Becca. I didn't know what to do but we ended up sleeping together. Right after, Becca ended up pregnant. I'm trying to do right by my child." I said leaving a few things out. "Why didn't you tell me?" He said. The look on his face, he felt betrayed and saddened. "I'm sorry. I don't know what to do. Alessia is getting close to Micah and there ain't a damn thing I can do. I've tried. She won't talk to me since she found out Becca is pregnant." I said putting my head down. I covered my face with my hands. I feel the tears swelling in my eyes. "Does she know your her mate?" Chase asked "No."
Jake walked out. It was obvious he was upset with me. I got up and went outside. I got in my car. Jake was already in the passenger seat.
The drive home was silent. Jake just stared out the window. His fists tight in his lap. We pulled up and Jake jumped out of the car. I got out and went into the house.
Everyone was sitting in the living room. They turned to look at me and everyone just stopped. They were in shock. Emily and Jessica came running to me because of my injuries and the blood all over my chest. I didn't hear anything they were saying because I was too focused on Alessia. She stared at me from across the room. Tears filled her eyes and her hand was over her mouth. I cleared my throat. "Alessia can I speak to you in my office?" I said. I didn't even wait to see if she moved before going. I can hear my sisters calling my name. I just ignored them.
In my office, I went to the bathroom and cleaned the blood off me. I grabbed the first aid kit and wrapped my shoulder. As I came out, the door opened and Alessia walked in.
I told her everything that happened. Everything that Micah said. Well everything except the mate part. She sat there and said nothing. "I have strong feelings for you. Feelings that won't go away. I think about you all the time. I want you but Becca is pregnant. I can't just abandon my child." Tears filled her eyes. She turned away from me. I got on my knees and pushed myself between her legs. I grabbed her face with both my hands and made her look at me. "I love you. I just wish things turned out different." I whispered to her. I leaned in and kissed her lips. She kissed me back. It was a soft kiss. She put her arms around my neck and gave me a hug. I wrapped my arms around her waited and just held her, tears running down my face.
Pulling away, I looked at her. "Baby, you need to stop seeing Micah, he's no good for you." I said.
She pushed me back, got up out the chair. Sue turned with her arms crossed over her chest. "How dare you! Oh you can be with Becca but I can't be with anyone. Micah treats me good. We have fun together. He does show me respect, maybe he said those things to get under your skin. Besides it's none of your business who I'm involved with, you don't want me!" She was angry. She stormed out and slammed the door.
