Chapter 9


    ra was extra alert during training, observing all of Jaxon’s moves. She could not miss out on him


    leaving without her knowing. She was also careful enough to not draw the attention of the pack


    members and most especially, Charles. It was sessful in the end with Charles getting busy by giving


    some new trainees extra lessons.


    Jaxon left and ra, not as much as informing her friends who she came to training with and usually


    left with, began to follow Jaxon. Initially with people around. Jaxon did not notice but getting close to


    the Omegamunities where they were usually indoors sleeping after the stress of cleaning the pack


    and other homes, it became difficult to not notice.


    ra was initially surprised by the direction Jaxon was headed, not having realized that Rowena had


    left the pack. She was conflicted in thinking about who Jaxon was going to see but then, she realized


    that it was not what she thought. She continued to follow him without knowing where he was headed


    but it was toote for her to realize that he had tricked her into the woods.


    Hearing his voice resonating through the woods in search of his prey, ra’s heart was thumping very


    fast and she was looking for a way of escape but there was only one way in and one way out. Since


    she was already in, she could not leave without Jaxon seeing her.


    ra knew that her end hade and the best thing was to pretend that she was not there but hisst


    words caused her to begin sweating profusely, more than she did during the training session with the


    other warrior trainers.


    “For thest time, show yourself or I promise I’ll kill you if I rummage through these woods and drag


    you out, whoever you


    are.”


    Ah, ra was looking for a way to escape. If Jaxon found her out, she could not guess how it was


    going to end since the man showed no interest in her but if he rummaged through the woods, it would


    not take time before he found her. She did not


    want to die.


    Suddenly, an idea cracked in her mind and she stepped out confidently out of the woods. “It’s me.”


    Jaxon’s gaze turned murky perilously. He was expecting a man he could feast on to release all his


    bottled-up pain of not. having Rowena around but not the enemy herself. He wanted to tear her into


    pieces but she was also the reason why Charles did not fight for the title of an Alpha, for which reason


    Jaxon tolerated her.


    Jaxon was not keen of the responsibility, after he had given it up for his mate before but he strongly felt


    that after what Rowena had been through, it would be refreshing for her to lead the pack one day. That


    would be the best revenge to her enemies. This was one of the thoughts which prevented Jaxon from


    obliging to Jax demanding to take control to finish off


    ra.


    “What do you want and why are you following me?” Jaxon roared. Jax was still trying to take control,


    resulting in ant argument.


    ‘Charles is not here. Kill her and no one would know.”


    Jaxon was not surprised by Jax’s demands but, ‘A promise is a promise. I am a man of my words.


    “Avenge our mate’ Jax was not hearing it. The selfish beast only cared about his mate and no one else


    including his human.


    “I will, Jaxon Assured him. He was certain of it but it was also not going to be the way Jax wanted or


    expected it to be.

    “I was not following you,” ra lied but Jaxon knew what he saw and ra was displeased that he


    stared at her with hate, wondering what she had done to deserve it.


    “Don’t even try to lie to me,” Jaxon growled. There was a reasonable distance between them, as Jax


    would have used any opportunity to cause havoc.


    “I…wanted to let my wolf out so I was undressing when you run here. It was the reason I hid to put my


    clothes back on,” ra exined perfectly, except that Jaxon knew her more than she thought.


    “If you were here to shift, then what is stopping you from doing so now?”


    ra paled instantly. She had not yet shifted so it was not possible. Now she understood that Jaxon


    could not be fooled. However, another thought came into mind and she began to smile flirtatiously,


    whiles about to remove her clothes.


    “You don’t have to take off your clothes,” Jaxon said, shredding herst bit of hope. ra had wanted


    to seduce him with her s**y body but the man was just too smart to be toiled with. He was well


    prepared for the likes of her.


    “Alpha, my clothes will tear,” she sounded sincere, as she hid the smile that wanted to barge from the


    corner of her lips. She was too sure that Jaxon would change his mind if he saw her naked but was in


    for a shock.


    “Don’t worry about it. I will mindlink someone to bring you clothes before you shift back so stop wasting


    time” Jaxon’s eyes rolled to the back and ra knew that he had actioned on his words by mind linking


    someone to bring her clothes.


    Tears began to roll down her cheeks, Jaxon raised his brows. “Did I say anything wrong?” He taunted


    her but she shook her head. There was no way out and she had to admit that Jaxon was too smart for


    her. He was the rightful Alpha because his instincts were sharper than that of Charles and he could not


    be fooled.


    “I’m sorry, please don’t tell Charles that I followed you,” ra began to confess but Jaxon discerned


    that there was more and was not ready to let it go.


    “Unless you tell me your reasons.” he demanded calmly. Looking at Jaxon who had a striking


    resemnce to Charles, ra was surprised that their characters were very much different.


    “1”


    “If you lie again, I will ensure that he hears about this,” Jaxon threatened, not giving her the room to lie


    to his face again. ra was at the cross roads but also knew that Alphas kept their words. As such,


    she believed that for as long as she confessed, Charles would not know.


    “Okay. I just want to be close to you. I felt jealous when you said you had a mate. Everyone knows in


    this pack that I should. be the rightful Luna.” As soon as she was done speaking, she saw the change


    in Jaxon’s eyes, her hopes cracking. Knowing her true intentions, Jaxon felt pity for his brother but it did


    not register in his countenance.


    “Is that why you so desperately wanted my brother when you knew that he would be the Alpha?” Jaxon


    already guessed but needed the necessary confirmation. He also did not want ra to know that his


    surprise for her had arrived, thereby maintaining his gaze on her.


    “Yes, but please, I’m very sorry,” ra admitted and pleaded. Jaxon was grateful for the confession. At


    least, Charles would. know what he rejected a good woman for, even if she was of a low rank.


    “I can banish you for toiling with my brother’s feelings and invading my privacy but I won’t,” Jaxon said


    to ra’s amazement. She smiled at the thought that Jaxon had feelings for her like the other men but


    was just pretending or afraid because she was already dating Charles.


    “You won’t?” ra asked with glee, ready to assure him that she would break up with Charles, when


    she saw Jaxon looking


    above her head.


    “Oh, brother. I thought you wouldn’t miss out on your woman’s shifting but I have to run,” Jaxon said


    whatever came to his mind and took to his heels. ra’s heart fell out of her chest as she turned


    around, shock making her dizzy when her gaze met Charles’s dark ones.


    ‘Did he hear anything? It was as if her world was falling right in front of her. Charles’s expression was


    neutral. He left the training area as soon as he received the mind link from Jaxon and was very much


    disappointed by what he was finding out from it. However, he was weirdly calm.


    “My brother told me to bring you clothes. Are you alright?” Charles heard everything but pretended as if


    he didn’t. The pain that ra was only in for the title hurt badly but for his revenge, he would not let her


    know. His lips thinned into a smile. “If you are alright, then lets’ go.”


    ra fell out of her shock, realizing that Charles had not heard a thing. She smiled back. “Yes, please


    let’s go.”


    As they walked back to her house, ra knew that she had to stop chasing after Jaxon. He would


    never give her attention. The only way would be to get his mate out of the way. If she had to wait for his


    mate to surface, then she would also have to


    let Charles know that she had eyes for him alone, so he does not break up with her.


    As soon as they reached her house, she hugged Charles and said, “I love you Charles, I hope you


    know you are the only one I


    want.”


    Charles recalled everything he heard a while ago. The words that revealed her true intentions towards


    him. It was great that she had not shifted and they had not yet marked each other because those words


    kept sinking in his mind.


    I just want to be close to you. I felt jealous when you said you had a mate. Everyone knows in this pack


    that I should be the rightful Luna


    An evil smirk formed in the corner of his lips as he hugged her back, “I know, and I love you too.”
