“Are you alright?” He asked and shoved Scott away, causing him to fall on his bottom with a loud thud before the man took my hand to examine my arm.
A soft tingling erupted over my skin at his contact, and I found myself stepping closer to him as if an invisible rope was pulling me in.
“I am fine. Thank you for helping me.”
“Always,” He said gently, “I’m Jaxson, although I prefer Jax. What’s your name?”
“Darling, there you are.” A gorgeous woman approached us before I could answer, and my heart sank. He already had someone, and she was exquisite.
She had long wavy black hair that flowed down her backless silver dress that fell to her ankles, and she was wearing a very beautiful looking tiara. She looked older than my new mate, but perhaps he preferred mature women.
I felt a rush of jealousy and quickly pulled out of Jaxson’s grip and looked at my feet.
“I have been looking for you.” The woman continued as she reached us, but then she noticed Scott on the ground. “What is going on here?”
“That is exactly what I want to know!” The angry voice of my Alpha called out behind me, and I tensed nervously.
My actions didn’t go unnoticed by the man beside me, and he frowned before looking back at my Alpha.
“Scott, what the hell happened?” Alpha Troy shouted, “Get up. Why are you on the ground?”
“He shoved me!” Scott pointed at my mate.
“Why?” The women frowned at him.
“He grabbed my mate!” Jax answered, and everyone froze for a second before staring at me.
“Your what?” The woman gasped. “Oh my gosh, sweetheart. That is wonderful. Where is your father? We have to tell him!”
Father? So… this women wasn’t my mate’s girlfriend, she was his mother?
“And your brother.” The woman went on as she looked me over, “Have you told him? They might be mates too!”
“I don’t understand.” I frowned at them, and Jaxson smiled the most breathtaking smile.
“I’m a twin.” He told me happily, “We’ve always shared everything, so we figured we’d also share a mate, I linked him when I first saw you across the room, but I didn’t tell him why. I just said I had a surprise, he should be here soon.” He began to look around the room of guests, some of whom were looking at us and listening to our conversation. “He will be so excited to meet his mate. I know I am.”
“SHE ISN’T HIS MATE!” Scott shouted and got to his feet, “OR YOURS, SHE IS MY MATE!”
I glared at him. How dare he?
“I AM NOT YOUR MATE!” I shouted back. It was the first time I’d ever so much as raised my voice at him, and he stepped back in surprise. “I REJECTED YOU!”
“WHAT!” Alpha Troy growled at me, and I looked down, “YOU UNGRATEFUL B*TCH!”
My new mate growled and pulled me behind him so fast I lost my breath, but just as fast as he’d moved me, his mother stepped in between her son and Alpha Troy
“Don’t even think about it!” She warned him with a stern glare, “There are hundreds of guests here this evening. You will not make a scene!”
“He called my mate a b*tch!” He argued through a clenched jaw as his claws came out, and his body began to shake, “You can’t just expect me to let that go!”
“Stand down immediately.” The women said firmly, and my mate growled and stepped back, glaring at my Alpha.
“Did he accept your rejection?” Alpha Troy asked as his wife, my Luna came walking over with Sky. “Is that why both of you have been sick today? Because you rejected him!”
“Yes.” I answered, “He accepted and yes, it’s why we’ve been sick.”
“You stupid b*stard!” Alpha Troy shouted at his son and shoved him, “Do you have any idea what you’ve done, what you’ve just lost me, take it back now.”
Lost him? What was he talking about? Was he angry I could no longer be used for my powers?
I had a few gifts that had developed as a child, and it was very rare for werewolves to have powers unless they came from an Alpha line, I’d only ever heard of Lycan’s having abilities without being from an Alpha blood line
Alpha Troy was thrilled when mine developed, however and he liked to use me for them as often as he could.
“I didn’t fully reject her.” Scott pointed out, “I said I’d keep her as my mistress. She should have.”
“YOUR WHAT?!” My new mate shouted, and Scott stepped closer to his father.
“Jaxson, enough!” His mother said firmly before turning to Scott. “Whatever designs you had for the young lady are no longer relevant. She belongs to my son now.”
“Like hell.” Alpha Troy stepped in, “She is Scott’s mate. She will be coming back with us.”
“He is not having her!” Jaxson said angrily and growled, “She is mine and I will rip his throat out if he even tries to take her from me.”
“Who?” Sky asked in disgust, “You can’t be talking about wolf less. What is going on daddy?”
“Wolfless?” My mate turned to me in confusion.
“I…” I hesitated nervously, “I didn’t shift at 16 like everyone else. I didn’t get my wolf until I was 18.”
“Of course, you didn’t.” The women said as she looked down at me with a confused expression, “Lycans don’t shift until they’re 18.”
“Lycan?” I frowned, “I…I’m not a Lycan.”
“Of course you are.” My new mate responded, “I can smell it. What made you think you were one of them?”
“What?” I frowned again and turned to my Alpha, “You said I was just a big wolf.”
“So what!” He spat back.
“Why would you lie to her about that?” The woman asked, “Where are her parents?”
“They abandoned her.” Sky said smugly and crossed her arms, “They didn’t want her. No one does.”
“I do.” Jaxson surprised me.
“You… you do?” I stuttered.
Jaxson turned back to me in surprise, “Of course I do. You’re beautiful.” He smiled and touched my face, “I have been waiting for you for so long. There is no way I’d ever reject you.”
“She isn’t yours to reject!” Scott shouted, “She is mine!”
“You had your chance, mutt!” Jaxson’s tone changed, and I felt a wave of power fill the air around him. Was he an Alpha too? He had to be. He felt so powerful. “She is mine now, and even if she had accepted you, she’d still be mine because I would have simply killed you to get to her, hell… I still might, so watch your damn tone!”
“Your majesty, please you can not allow this!” Luna Morgan pleaded.
Did she just say, your majesty? I looked at the woman next to my mate and stared at her in shock.
