I rolled my eyes, and continued to eat my food.
“Most of the disappearances were happening in these very woods” He went on “Your father sent a group of men to investigate, the town was only just starting out, and Alpha Troy allowed the Lycan’s to camp in the woods, most likely in this very spot. Two days, they searched the woods for the missing werewolves and for two days, they found nothing”
“Probably because there was nothing to find” I interrupted, and Jay’s face fell “Those werewolves, if they were missing at all, probably just went into hiding”
“Alpha, you’re ruining the vibe” Milo scolded me, and I laughed and held up my hands in defeat.
“My apology, please, continue”
“As I was saying” Jayden continued “They found nothing, but then, on the third night, the night of the full moon, the men ventured deeper into the forest trees. Tree’s so thick and growing so close together, that they were forced to shift and continue on foot. No animals could be heard for miles, and that’s when they found it”
“The burning women?” I said in an eerie tone, but Jay shook his head at me.
“No” He gave a huff, and I smiled in amusement. Jax would love this. He enjoyed a good ghost story. Me, on the other hand, found it all so boring, give me a nice action story, and I was hooked “They came across a clearing with a mass grave, not even a grave really. The bones were scattered over the ground, no one had bothered to bury or burn the bodies, and just left them to decay on the dirt’
“Scary” I interrupted again, but Jay ignored me.
“The men had no idea what to make of this” Jayden told us, as he looked around at all the men “Who could have done this, why had they done this? Were these the bones of the missing werewolves? No one had time to find out. Just as they started searching the area for clues, a woman covered in flames emerged from behind a large grouping of trees, the fire grew larger and started to wrap around the perimeter of the clearing, trapping the men inside, and one by one, they went up in flames, and the women vanished into nothingness”
“Is that so” I smirked “So… if they all died, who got out to tell this story?”
Jay looked crestfallen “I suppose they managed to link someone in the city to let them know what was happening”
“If that’s the case, then how did they know the women vanished, if she did so after they were all dead?” I asked, and once again, Jay looked defeated.
“Oh, you just don’t get it, Alpha” Milo waved his hand “That’s not the only sighting of this woman. Over the years, there have been loads of reports”
“There’s a dragon settlement in the next city” I pointed to my left “If there is a woman on fire, did it ever occur to you fools that it may have just been a dragon. There are still fights between our kind. Maybe they killed the werewolf scum?”
“I guess we’ll never know for sure” Danny commented.
“Yes, let the mystery continue” I rolled my eyes again.
“Tell us another story Jay” Ace pleaded “You must have more”
After that, I had to endure three more ghost stories, before the subject was changed to women, but when Danny asked me about Maddie, I growled, and he quickly turned to Jay, and asked him about a blonde he’d hooked up with a few days ago.
“I’m getting some sleep” I rolled out my sleeping bag near the fire, when I’d had enough of the conversation “Wake me at dawn”
“Yes sir” Milo responded.
After a quick check in with Jax, who told me all about their night, I fell into an uncomfortable slumber. I misseed Maddie in my arms.
MADELYN’S POV
I groggily woke up feeling cold, the silk sheets that were usually heated by my mate’s bodies were freezing to the touch and I shivered as I sat up.
As I looked around the quiet room, I realized that Jax wasn’t beside me, and upon inspection of the alarm clock on Koda’s side of the bed, I saw that it was only 7am.
I climbed out of bed, my bare feet hitting the cold floor, and I shivered once more, before following after Jaxson’s fading scent.
I expected to find him in the kitchen, or his art studio, but his scent weaved through the manor and onto the gym.
I pushed aside the slightly ajar door, and paused when I saw Jax doing push-ups.
He was shirtless, and sweat was glistening off his muscles, indicating that he’d already been awake for some time.
My eyes swept over his body, he really was so s*xy, his wide muscular back tensed with each movement, and his legs and arms were thick and strong, as he pushed himself up.
I felt a wetness between my legs when I began to fantasize about being beneath him while he pushed up and down, and I bit my lip as I longed to run my tongue over his chest.
He must have heard me, or smelt my scent, because he looked over at the door, and quickly sat up on his knees.
“Morning” He greeted me with a gorgeous smile, as he grabbed a small towel and wiped his face.
“Good morning” I blushed, a little embarrassed at being caught perving on him.
“Did I wake you?”
I shook my head “The bed got cold. Have you been working out long?”
“Sorry, I should have restarted the fire for you before I left the room” He said, and brushed a few loose strands of his hair back behind his ear, that had fallen from the small bun he’d tied his hair into “I got up about an hour ago, and didn’t realize you’d be cold without me”
“Why did you get up so early?” I asked, and wandered closer to him “Did you have a bad dream?”
“No, nothing like that” He reached out and took my hand, and gave it a sweet kiss “I always get restless when Koda and I are apart, it’s a twin thing”
“Oh, I see” I nodded, was it really a twin thing, or was he worried something would happen to Koda? “So, you usually just work out when you’re restless”
“Among other things” He smirked, and his eyes swept over my body.
I was only in underwear, and one of Koda’s shirts, but it reached my mid-thighs as I was so much smaller than my mates.
I blushed again, and thought I’d take this opportunity to live the fantasy I’d just been imagining.
“You could have woken me to do…. other things” I pointed out.
Jax laughed softly “Next time for sure”
“Next time?” I raised my eyebrows at him, and laid down in front of my mate, with my legs on either side of his body.
His eyes darkened, and went straight between my thighs, and I felt very powerful, that I could elicit that kind of lust from him.
“Why don’t you finish your workout?” I smirked at him.
This time, he raised his eyebrows at me, and smiled.
“Come on Alpha” I teased “No slacking off!”
Jax laughed again, and leaned over my small body, he smiled and started doing push-ups again, while I ran my hands over his chest and bent my legs, so that I could feel his body sliding up and down.
He looked down between us, before staring into my eyes, and lowered himself more with each down movement, making sure to press his body up against mine to cause friction between us.
I was getting very turned on, every time his d*ck, which was hardening, rubbed between my thighs, I wanted to lock my legs around his waist, and keep him there.
I couldn’t help but run his fingers down his damp chest, all the way down to his shorts, and I slipped my hand inside, and grabbed his p*nis.
He moaned softly and paused his movements, but I was having none of that, I wanted him to keep rubbing up against my body.
