[Chapter 14 - The Mute Alpha]

*Unedited*

•••

*Autumn's POV*

Holy shit.

My body shot up in my bed, tingles shooting through my body. A thin sheet of sweat coated my skin and my breathing wasn't even.

I pressed my hand to my chest and felt my heart beating erratically.

What the hell just happened?

I laid back, my head against the pillow, and I pressed the back of my hand to my forehead.

I had the weirdest dream.

I must be insane.

Like who the hell dreams that?

I tried evening my breathing out as I tried to stop thinking about my dream. As badly as I wanted it to happen, I knew it was going to be a while. Something tells me it'll take a while for my mate to open up to me like that.

But the images of my mates scorching hot fingers grazing my skin and his hot breath hitting my neck and his soft lips on mine wouldn't leave my head.

I guess that's one of the struggles of it being that time of the month.

Fucking hormones.

Thankfully it ends today.

I rubbed my eyes before looking over at the clock sitting on the nightstand by the bed. It said 6:00 a.m. on it.

Great, now I get to fall back asleep and possibly continue that wonderful dream.

Unfortunately, sleep wouldn't come to me. I was wide awake. I rolled over in the bed to get comfortable. Except there was a cramp in my lower area that I couldn't ignore. Ugh.

With a sigh, I got out of bed and went to the bathroom. I stared at my reflection in the mirror. Brown eyes stared back at me. My hair looked like a rats nest. So I picked up my brush and brushed my hair, yanking out the painful nots. Then I placed my hair up into a bun on my head.

I gagged when I smelled my morning breath and quickly grabbed my toothbrush to clean my teeth. Imagine if Jax smelled this horrid breath. He'd reject me for sure. I'd be embarrassed.

I laughed at the thought as I brushed my teeth and rinsed my mouth with mouthwash.

After I walked out of the bathroom, I picked out a pair of jean shorts and a white tank top and slipped them onto my body.

I left the bedroom and walked down the quiet hallways. The sun was barely peeking through the windows, which created a little bit of light in the hallway.

I wonder if Jax is still asleep?

Probably not.

I made my way down the stairs, trying to not stomp loudly and wake him up just in case he's still asleep.

My stomach growled as I walked into the kitchen. I opened up the fridge to see what food Jax had. I pulled out the eggs and cheese with some milk. I'm in the mood for some eggs.

After I finished making the scrambled eggs, I fried some turkey bacon. I made sure to make extra for Jax since he's always busy with Alpha stuff.

Putting some food on a plate, I walked over to a stool and sat down on it and then I began eating.

I heard footsteps behind me and I turned to see Jax walking in. His dark brown hair was slightly messy, meaning he just woke up and his white T-Shirt was slightly wrinkled and hugged his torso, showing the outlines of his muscles. The bottom half of his body was covered by a pair of sweat pants.

He looked hot without even trying. Both my wolf and I could feel ourselves swooning.

How did I get so lucky to be paired with a god?

I had to look away before I started drooling. Fucking hormones.

My cheeks heated up when he caught my stare. And it didn't help when those images from my dream started appearing in my head. Oh God.

"I made breakfast," I spoke, trying to keep my voice steady. Then I quickly shoved forkful of eggs into my mouth.

He smiled and walked over to the stove where the food was. He served himself and then came to sit next to me.

We ate in silence, the only thing that could be heard was the sound of our forks hitting our plates.

"So," I randomly said, "how's it going with the rogue?"

Jax's hand clenched his fork, slightly bending the metal. Yikes.

I could tell he wasn't very happy about my question. Either he hasn't gotten anything from that rogue or what that rogue told him is pissing him off.

From here I could tell Jax was stressed. His eyes drooped and he looked tired. Maybe we should do something to relieve that stress.

My wolf immediately gave me suggestions but I had to brush them away. One, we'll do it when he's ready. And two, I'm on my period so it wouldn't be pleasant.

"Do you want to do something later?" I asked him, "You look like it's been a long time since you've done something fun."

He stared at me, sending me a conflicted look as if he wasn't sure.

"C'mon, it'll be fun! You really need to loosen up!"

Jax's chocolate eyes looked down at his plate as he thought my idea over. Slowly he nodded his before pulling his phone out from his pocket.

He typed up a response on his phone and then showed the screen to me.

I'm glad he does this instead of not saying anything. He at least tells me what he's thinking. Although I'm not going to lie, I have imagined him actually talking to me. I bet his voice is sexy.

I read the screen, 'Fine, I have a place in mind. This club on the beach. We can go at 8:00 because I have a meeting for a few hours and then I have to do paperwork.'

I smiled at his responses. I quickly hugged him excitedly before placing a quick kiss on his cheek. Then I went back to finishing up my food.

As I ate, I could feel his stare. I turned to look at him and noticed his eyes were a darker shade. I rose an eyebrow at him. "What?" I asked.

He shook his head, his eyes going back to normal before standing up. He took his plate and placed it in the dishwasher before leaving the room.

That was weird.

•••

There was a knock on the door. I lifted up the remote and paused the movie I was watching. Who could that be?

I walked over to the front door and peeked out the window. It was a girl. Confused, I opened up the door and found the girl smiling at me.

She looked about my age, maybe a couple years younger, and she had black curly hair that went to her mid-shoulders and a small, petite form. Her round grey eyes shined with excitement and her thin frame was covered by small shorts and a black crop top.

"Luna," she bowed her head.

My eyebrows shot up as I slowly blinked in confusion. Who is this girl and why do I suddenly wish I had black curly hair?

"Um..."

"Sorry to bother you, but Alpha told me to keep you company," she told me.

"He did?" I asked. She nodded her head before inviting herself in. Again, who is this girl?

"I'm Mysha," she said as she walked into the living room as if she's been here many times before and sat down on the couch next to where I was sitting.

"It seems like you've been here many times," I gritted out, thinking about her getting involved with my mate. I'm not sure what's going on in my head. Maybe it's because of my period. Or maybe my wolf. She gets jealous easily.

The girl noticed the tone in my voice and she laughed. "Oh, I've been here many times. But it's not what you're thinking. I used to date Theo."

My mouth formed an "o" and it felt like stupidity slapped me across the face.

"Yeah. I don't think Jax has really done any of that dating stuff. He's been closed off and whenever a girl hits on him, he brushes them away. I wouldn't be surprised if he's still a virgin or better yet, hasn't had his first kiss. Girl, you're going to be his first everything."

Didn't Theo say that, too?

Then her eyes wandered down to my neck. "I see he hasn't marked you yet," she said with a frown. "That's odd."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Usually after a couple of days, the males mark their mates. And Alphas especially are possessive over their mates, so they usually mark them when they first meet."

"Oh," I mumbled, rubbing my neck with my fingers.

"But don't worry, it'll happen soon. You're a babe and he won't be able to keep his hands off you." She winked.

My lips tugged up into a small smile. "We're going out tonight once he's done working," I told her, "He wants to go to this night club."

"Oh! I've been there! That's where I met Theo. It's really fun," Mysha beamed with excitement. "I can help you get ready if you want."

I nodded my head and we continued watching the movie I was watching, giggling and fangirling over the hot guys in the film.

•••

"Which one?" Mysha asked as she held up two dresses.

I scrunched my nose as I inspected the dresses, both looking very revealing. They were short and tight. One was red and the other indigo. The red one was strapless and the indigo had a strap that went around the neck and tied in the back.

I shook my head and continued searching through the racks of dresses. "C'mon, these are sexy. You want Jax to want to take you against the wall," Mysha wined as she held up the dresses.

I rolled my eyes. "But I don't want to look like a hooker," I shot back. That shut her up.

My eyes scanned the dresses, looking for one that look hot but not like I was looking for a one night stand.

"How about this?" Mysha asked holding up a dress. At first, my eyes widened and I smiled when I saw the cute dress she pulled from the rack. But then I frowned when I saw the opened back. That's a lot of skin that would be showing.

"I don't know..." I replied.

"Please!" Mysha pleaded, "You'd look so cute in this. At least try it on!"

"Fine," I finally gave in and snatched the dress from her. Then I walked over to the dressing room and slipped it on.

I stared at myself in the mirror. Damn, Mysha was right. This dress was cute. It was simple. The fabric felt nice against my skin and hugged my waist. And it tied in the back. It was shorter than I would have liked, but at the moment, I didn't care.

(Autumn's dress)

"Show me!" Mysha ordered from outside the stall. I walked out and she squealed. "We'll take it!" She called out to the lady at the cash register.

•••

"Let me know how it goes," Mysha said as she typed her phone number into my phone. Then she sent me a smirk, "Make sure to mess around with him and show him that you want him."

I laughed before shoving her out the door. Jax came home a little while ago but Mysha wouldn't let me see him. She was too busy doing my hair and makeup.

She was going a little overboard with this. We were just going to the club, I don't understand why she did all of this.

Fortunately, she lightly curled my hair and applied a light layer of makeup.

Now I was waiting for him in the living room, waiting for him on the couch. I don't know why I'm so nervous. Maybe I'm afraid he won't think I'm pretty.

I heard his footsteps come down the stairs and my heart started beating faster. I looked at the entrance and found him standing there staring at me.

His hair was like usual, just not as messy. And he wore a black button up with the sleeves rolled to his elbows and a pair of jeans. His arms were crossed over his chest.

I stood up and walked over to him. His eyes scanned my body and a sound erupted from his chest. My cheeks heated up as I felt his eyes on me. I looked down and fiddled with my fingers.

Sparks made my skin tingle when his fingers lightly touched my chin and lifted my head, making me look up into eyes. His eyes bored into mine, awe and adoration swirling in their depths.

He took my hand and lured me out of the room. We walked out of the house and got into his car. During the drive to the beach, I didn't say anything, leaving the car completely silent. The only thing we could hear was the engine of the car and the radio playing quietly.

"You look nice," I blurted out when he put the car in park.

He smiled and held up his phone.

"You look beautiful."

I smiled back at him and leaned across the console to plant a kiss on his cheek. "Thank you," I mumbled against his skin.

We got out of the car and the ocean breeze smelled like salt. It was definitely cooler than earlier since the sun was setting. The was sky painted with blues, purples, and pinks.

Multiple people were walking towards the entrance of the club, lining up in front of the bouncer.

Jax took my hand in his and led us over to the front of the line, cutting everyone. They sent us curious glances, but didn't seem too bothered. Probably because he was their Alpha.

The bouncer bowed his head and allowed us through. When we entered, we were greeted with a dark room and a crowd.

Bright neon lights decorated the room and loud music blasted on the speakers, causing my chest to vibrate with the base. People filled the room, dancing, drinking, talking, and other stuff I don't want to see again.

Overall the place looked cool.

The song Say Amen (Saturday Night) by Panic! At the Disco played and I smiled. I love this song. I squealed and tugged Jax over to the dance floor.

When we reached the dance floor I started jumping around and sang to the song looking like a fool. Jax watched me in amusement, chuckling.

"C'mon," I motioned him to join me but he shook his head. "Do you not know how to dance?" From the look on his face I could tell he couldn't dance.

I grinned and moved forward, grabbing his hands and placing them on my hips. Then I started swaying my hips to the beat of the song.

I laughed at Jax's stiffness and tried to loosen him up. He was a tough cookie to crack, but I was finally able to get him to dance.

We were laughing as we danced together, looking like idiots. He spun me around and gripped my waist.

"Let's get something to drink," I suggested when my feet started getting tired and a song I hated began to play. Jax followed me over to the bar where we ordered some drinks.

A group of girls passed by, giggling as they eyed my mate like he was a piece of meat. "He's mine bitches! Get lost," I growled at them as shielded him from them.

The bartender passed us our drinks and I took a sip of mine, the liquid burning my throat.

Once I finished my drink, I headed over to the bathroom since I had to pee really badly.

I entered the bathroom, which was very clean. A girl was standing by the mirror fixing her makeup. Her clothes were wrinkled and her hair was a bit messing. I bet I know what she was doing.

Once I finished using the bathroom, which I discovered hell week was finally over, I washed my hands. The girl was gone, but another girl came in. When she noticed me, she scowled.

"You're Jaxton's mate, aren't you?" She asked.

I narrowed my eyes, not likely the tone of her voice. "Yes," I responded proudly.

"Your mate lost his virginity with me," she smirked as she leaned against the wall. What does that have to do with anything? Both Mysha and Theo said he was a virgin, anyways.

I laughed humorlessly, "I find that hard to believe. I'm assuming you're a whore, so I doubt he'd be that dumb to give himself to a girl like you."

The girl growled and moved towards me. She was pretty tall and was practically a human-version of Barbie. She had "bitch" written all over her.

I crossed my arms across my chest and stared at her with pursed lips. Who does she think she is?

"I'm going to be your future Luna, so you better watch it," I warned her.

"Or what?" She sneered, "You look weak, pup. You're not fit to be Luna."

"And you are?" I shot back.

She made a move to attack me but I dodged her and punched her in the face. She fell to the floor and I walked over to the door and opened it.

As I stepped out I felt weight hit my body. I fell face-first to the floor with weight on my back. Pain surged to my head as I felt my hair being pulled.

Is this bitch seriously pulling my hair?

We're werewolves. This isn't suppose to be a damn cat fight.

I kicked the girl off of me and stood up. People stopped what they were doing to watch what was going on.

I stepped over to the Barbie and punched her in the face. She tried to punch me but I caught her arm and twisted it. She screamed as I kicked her in the stomach, causing her to fall into the wall.

Blood pooled from her nose, but I didn't stop there. I came at her again, punching her repeatedly in the face. Then once I was satisfied, I stepped back. "I suggest you keep that mouth of your's shut, before you get killed," I told her before turning away.

Jax was standing at the front of the crowd with wide eyes. "Let's go," I told him as I walked by. He followed after me and opened the door.

Once we got in the car, the ride home was quiet. And when we reached his house, I stopped Jax from getting out of the car.

"I'm sorry I ruined this night. That bitch started it. She was being disrespectful," I whispered sadly.

Jax watched me as I looked down at my lap. I was trying to find words to explain what had happened, but I didn't know what to say. We were having a nice night and I went and ruined it because of that Barbie.

Jax unbuckled his seatbelt and opened the door. Then he walked around the car and opened my door. He took my hand and tugged me towards the house. He unlocked the door and we entered the house.

The door closed behind us. "Well, I'm going to go take a shower," I stated before going up the stairs. Before I reached the top I noticed Jax still watching me. "Do you want to join me?"

I don't know if I was joking or if I was being serious, but my hormonal self got the best of me.
