Her Alpha Mate

Chapter 10

Mia's POV

"You're coming with me"

Wait what? Did I hear him right? Maybe he's kidding. He doesn't want me to die, does he?

Suddenly I heard the dining table shattered into pieces and Jaxon roared loud.

"YOU WILL NOT TAKE HER" Jaxon growled

Nick pulled me to his side and then back of him so I can't see Jaxon from behind Nick's tall frame. This guy is really tall!

"And why not? If you are going to reject her and make Veronica the Luna, why can't I take her with me?" Nick asked.

Oh Nicholas! What a valid point.

But what shocked me the most was Jaxon's demeanor.

Jaxon fell short for words. I wanted him to talk about something. For me. About me. To at least listen to something from him that would give me the tiniest bit of hope.

But no, he stood there like a statue. Staring at a wall. He wasn't even fighting to say anything anymore. Does it mean I'll have to leave with Nick? Leaving Jaxon? Leaving my Alpha mate?

"But she's older than you Nick," Jaxon whispered.

"Ooh! Now age is a problem for you huh brother?" Nick spat.

And Jaxon stood silent again. He was roaring a few minutes ago. He was fuming with anger. He clearly told Nick not to take me with him. Now why the heck is he silent?

"So you don't want me really?" I asked Jaxon.

He looked at me. With an expression that I can describe now. Hurt. Hurt. He's feeling so hurt.

But why? Shouldn't I be the one hurting?

"Nick. I'm sorry. But I'll consider your offer and visit you someday. Right now. I need some time. I'll stay with Ashley. But trust me, I'll come" I said to Nick and he nodded his head.

"Give me a call whenever you are ready. I'll be there since an asshole just doesn't want you. I'm leaving now. I have Alpha stuff there. I'll use it and my men will come here to get my things. Just be careful Mia." He said while giving me a kiss on the forehead.

He left then without even looking at his brother. By his face I can see he's not happy by his brother's actions. I don't blame him though. I feel that everything that's happening right now, is just Moon Goddess's mistake. She picked wrong mates.

I walked to my room and plopped on my bed and just laid there like a corpse. It's just hard for me. Why isn't life just like I wanted it to be? Does Goddess hate me to that extent? Why? I've always been a good child. I never did anything when I was asked not to. Why me Moon Goddess? Why is it me?

I know my life is bland but too much drama at a time? Like really!??

After what seemed like a long time I was thirsty. I am not that typical girl who doesn't eat when sad. But in contrast, I eat a lot when my mind isn't at peace.

I walked towards the kitchen and took the leftover Mac N Cheese and put it in the Microwave Oven. I ate it when done and started walking back to my room. I only hope I woke no one.

I was about to cross Jaxon's room when I heard his whisper. Thanks to werewolf hearing. Then he made a sound of hurt. I was worried. I wanted to see what happened. What if someone just attacked? What if he's doing something to himself? Oh no!!

I kicked the food till it opened and saw Jaxon on his bed. His eyebrows scrunched together and he was panting loud.

"Please. No!" He whispered

He was having a nightmare. He started shivering too. He was repeatedly murmuring the words please and no.

"Jaxon" I called him.

He was still dreaming. But now he held his heart and was withering in pain. I was sick and worried for him now. Is this a witch's plan or something?

"Jaxon, calm down. It's just a dream" I sat on the bed beside him.

"Calm down Jaxon. Just a nightmare. " I repeated again and this time I touched his cheek.

He started calming down. Oh Thank Goodness for the matebond.

"I'm here. It's just a dream. You're ok" I said stroking his soft brown hair. He was calming down.

I patted on his chest thinking that would make him sleep. But boy was I wrong. He caught my hand with too much strength that made me wince.

"Jaxon. You're hurting me" I winced again and this time he opened his eyes. His face was covered in sweat and he was panting loud.

"Mom" he whispered and gripped my hand tighter.

"Jaxon. It's hurting" I yelled this time which made him come to his senses.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Did I hurt you?" He asked me.

Well that was strange. That means he didn't remember anything? That I was calming him down and he gripped my hand too tight that it left a bruise? What is happening anyway?

"No. I'm fine. Looks like you had a nightmare. You okay?" I asked him.

He looked at me and searched for something on my face. His eyes instantly softened when he stopped searching. And he nodded.

"Ok then. I'm leaving" I said and turned around to leave.

I was stopped when Jaxon held my hand again. But this time, his touch was gentle. And this time, Sparks flew from the place he touched and it gave me tingles. It felt so comforting that I wanted him to touch me more. They are tingling me, but in a good way.

"Stay," he whispered, which made me look at him. Did he just ask me to stay?

"Please" he murmured.

My heart felt heavy looking at him. This is the first time he asked me this. So I nodded. I sat right beside him. He slept comfortably in my lap. More tingles erupted and it felt so good.

I started stroking his hair with my left hand while he held my right hand close to his heart. I started mumbling some sweet words that helped him sleep. He is having a tough time sleeping and something in me said that it's related to something that happened in the past. But I didn't question.

It was hard looking at Jaxon that way. But now, he's sleeping. Little snores made their way out and he looked peaceful. I tried to get away from his grip. But that only made him hold my hand a little more tight.

So I gave up. I gave off into the matebond. No matter how hard it is, just his presence makes it all better. Just like my presence makes him better. Moments like these.. I hope Jaxon could see what mates truly are.
