“Fuck, Brick. She is not of age yet; she is too young.” He howls in my head because we both know what this means. We will have to wait until the next Harvest Moon before she is able to find us.
I am waiting for her parents to get out of the SUV, but it doesn’t happen and now I am more confused than I was when I saw her. “Jax, I want you to meet my second chance Mate.” Dad says and I smile at his words.
“This is Aspen. Aspen, this is Jax. My second Son.” He says as his arm slides around her shoulder. “It is nice to meet you, Jax.” She says with a huge smile on her face.
I pull her into a hug and tell her it is good to see my Dad smile again. As I stand up straight again I look into ice blue eyes and I can’t help but smile at her. “Hi, I am Jax and you are?” I ask as I hold my hand out.
“This is Hunter, my Daughter.” Aspen says and I quickly look at my Dad. “That is a conversation for tomorrow, Jax. Just know that there is a good explanation.” He says and I nod my head, I know he will not tell me anymore than that.
The four of us walk around back when Macy steps in front of me and I growl softly at the female that is blocking my path. “Jax, why didn’t you wait for me?” she asks and Brick rolls his eyes in my head.
“Macy, I hate repeating myself. I am not interested in you, never have been and never will be. I will wait for my fated Mate as long as it takes.” I step around her after I am finished speaking and I pull Hunter with me as Dad steps around her other side with Aspen.
“Jax, you are kidding, right?” Macy asks and before I can respond Hunter turns around, stepping in front of Macy. I hear Dad gasp and from the corner of my eyes I see Aspen put her hand over her mouth.
“Are you stupid?” Hunter asks. “Jax told you he is not interested, which part of that is so fucking difficult to understand. Stay the fuck away from my Brother or you will meet the underside of my boot, Bitch.”
She turns to me with a wicked smile on her face and interlinks our arms as she pulls me with her. As soon as Dad knows for sure that
Macy can’t hear us, he whispers, “Hunter, I told you to mind your words. Even though she deserved them.”
“Thanks for the save back there, Little One.” I say as I pull her closer to me and Brick pushes forward a bit, making me kiss the top of her head. “Yeah, right now you like me. Just give it a week, than you will start to look for a place to bury me.”
Dad starts laughing as I look dumbfounded at the young girl in my arms, Aspen shakes her head as she is giggling and I have this feeling that she might be right about that.
Justin’s P.O.V.
Jason and I block Macy and Suzy, giving our Brothers the chance to get out of the claws of these shameless She-wolves. Everyone knows that we will never settle for a chosen Mate, but it doesn’t stop some from trying to get into our bed.
It is not that we are still virgins, we are just very picky when it comes to the She-wolves we sleep with. Every She-wolf we have slept with has had a Mate and lost him for whatever reason.
They understand they are nothing more than a means to an end and they use us in the same way we use them, to get rid of an itch. It has been months since I have been with a She-wolf and I know it has been almost as long for my Brothers as well.
Sometimes I wonder why any She-wolf tries to find their way into bed with a high-ranking Wolf or Lycan, why can’t they just wait for their fated Mate like most of us do. I don’t want my Mate to run in to a She-wolf I slept with at the Palace or the Pack-house.
Once we know that Jax and Jayce got away Jason and I walk out the backdoor of the Palace, Jason leaves towards the right and I walk straight ahead towards the bar. Slade is pacing up and down in my head and I tell him to take it easy.
Suddenly I smell the most intoxicating scent ever and I snap my head around towards the source of it, I barely refrain myself from roaring the word “Mate” as I see Dad walking towards me with a woman on his arm and a young girl.
“Slade, she is too young. We can’t let her know that she is our Mate.” Slade hates that he can’t claim her, but he knows that I am right. This will be a difficult year for us before she is able to tell that we are her Mate.
I will need to keep this to myself, but I will make sure we spend as much time together as we can and make sure that I will not give away anything to tip her off. Not that we are not allowed to, but it is better for her if she finds out the right way and not because I have been acting like an overprotective ass.
Dad smiles at me and I look at the woman next to him, “Hello, you must be this old guy’s second chance. I am Justin, his youngest Son.” I say teasingly and she giggles as my Dad looks at me in shock.
“Hello, Justin. I am Aspen and this is my Daughter, Hunter.” The girl looks up at me and I am surprised to see her eyes. “Wow, I like the color of your eyes. They look amazing, Little One.”
She looks at me and then she starts to look around as if she is looking for something. I look at her with confusion written all over my face, than she says, “I was wondering if you had a stalker, just like Jax. Thought I might need to explain things to her, just like I did with Jax’s lady friend.”
Dad and Aspen start laughing and I just look at her dumbfounded, I cannot believe what she just said. I will have to ask Jax about this in the morning, because I would like to know what happened between her and Macy.
We talk for a few minutes longer and then Dad tells me that they will walk around some more, mingling with the guests “the King” invited to his Palace. “Stay out of trouble, Little One.” I say as they walk away from me.
Jason’s P.O.V.
I had seen Dad talking to Justin with a woman on his arm and a young girl standing next to them. I know who the woman is, but I wonder what the young girl is doing with them.
Logan is going nuts in my head and it gets worse the closer Dad comes and then I hear him say “Mate” in my head. I manage to keep from blurting the word out as I realize that the scent of my Mate comes from the young girl walking next to Dad.
“Jason, this is Aspen and her Daughter, Hunter. Ladies, this is my third Son, Jason.” Dad has a huge smile on his face as he looks down at Aspen and I smile as I see Dad happy for the first time in decades.
