2 years later.( Jaxonâs p.o.v)
âOliver stop. Youâre hurting her!â I yelled trying to get him off Anna.
âIâm sorry daddy. We were only playingâ he said standing up and looking at the ground
âI know son. A new episode of thundermans is coming on. Why donât you and Anna go watch that?â I sighed and he nodded
âYes dad.â He shouted and held Annaâs hand and walked out of the kitchen.
âJaxon!â I heard Aoife shout and I turned around to see her walking towards me.
âWhat did he do now?â I asked and she smiled
âNothing. Iâm making dinner today. What do you want for dinner? I was thinking I make Oliverâs and Annaâs favourites because it is Annaâs last day here?â She asked and I nodded
âSo are you guys leaving?â I asked and she nodded
âYeah. Alex needs me there with him. And he wants his daughter backâ she laughed and I nodded
âOkay. Iâm just going to be upstairs in my roomâ I mumbled and walked out the kitchen.
I went inside my room, and to the walk in closet. I pulled out the the white coat and walked towards my bed.
I laid down and pulled the coat closer to me. It still smells like cherry.
Itâs been two years since cherry was taken. Oli was sent back to us. And a couple of days later, two big boxes came. There was Cherryâs and James head in both of them. And there was also a note saying your welcome
We tried our best to find cherry or the person who sent the note, but we couldnât. We tried the supernatural council and everything. It was like everything just disappeared and everyone agreed to it.
I didnât. Every night I go at night to find cherry myself. I go past my own territory and onto a hill. I try everything, but sheâs no where to be seen. Itâs like she just disappeared, but I donât agree to it. I know sheâs alive because I can feel the mate bond. But itâs weak. Really weak.
âDaddyâ I heard Oliver say coming into the room
âIâm here son. Come hereâ I mumbled turning around in bed as he climbed it.
âWhatâs wrong daddy? The thundermans finished. Max was blueâ he exclaimed smiling and I chuckled
âThatâs good. Come here lay down next to meâ I mumbled and pulled him closer to me.
âDaddy, Chloe, she shouted at me todayâ he whispered and I sighed
âDid you do something bad to her?â I asked and he shook his head
âNo daddy. All I did was run into her. I said sorryâ he said and I nodded
âIâll talk to her. Has kyle and Rachel come?â I asked and he shook his head
âNopeâ he replied and I nodded and wrapped a arm around him.
âDaddy when is mommy going to come back?â He asked quietly
âSoon son. Soonâ I replied and he nodded.
âWe canât tell mommy that we have ice cream before dinner on Saturdays okay?â I said and he nodded
âYesâ he exclaimed.
âWhy donât you go downstairs and play with Anna. Sheâs leaving todayâ I said and he shook his head
âI want to go to sleep. Iâm tiredâ he replied and I nodded
âOkay. You go sleep okay. Iâll be right hereâ I mumbled pulling the covers over us.
****
âDaddy wake up. Uncle kyle is hereâ Oliver shouted jumping on the bed and I nodded
âIâm up. Letâs goâ I said picking him up
âSupermanâ he shouted and I chucked running downstairs.
âAuntie Rachel. I missed youâ Oliver shouted as I put him down, and he ran and hugged Rachel
âI missed you too Oli. Have you been good for your dad?â She asked picking him up
âYep. But you canât tell mommy that we eat ice cream on Saturdays before lunch. Daddy told me not to tellâ he whispered into her ear
âOh wow. You canât tell then. I bought you something. Go get it from kyleâ she said putting him down on the floor and he ran out the living room to the kitchen.
âJaxon? When are you going to tell him?â She asked and I rolled my eyes
âTell him what? That his mom is dead? Because sheâs not Rachel. You know sheâs not and I know sheâs not. I can feel it Rachelâ I told her
âFor two years he hasnât seen his mom. How many more times are you going to lie to him? He is going to be older, Jaxon. He needs to knowâ she explained and I shook my head
âHe know his mom is alive. And I know she is. Thatâs it Rachelâ I mumbled and walked out the room. I went upstairs to my room to see chloe sat on the bed.
âAlpha how are you today?â She asked crossing her legs
âChloe you need to leave. Just because you rejected Ryan, does not mean you can flirt with me.â I explained sighing.
âOh but thatâs the whole reason I rejected Ryan. I like you. Your more sexyâ she swayed her hips walking towards me.
âSTOP!â I used my alpha voice and she stopped infront of me.
âLeave. Right now and donât you dare do this whole act again. And donât talk to my son. Donât look or touch or even shout at my sonâ I yelled and she walked out the room. I closed the door behind her and leaned on it.
Ever since cherry has gone, chloe rejected Ryan and sheâs been after be a lot. I have told her so many times not to do all this but she doesnât listen.
Because of her Ryan doesnât talk to me much. Itâs just when I call him. Other than that, he doesnât talk to me. He moved out of the house and to his own house. I told chloe to move back to the pack house and she did.
There was a knock on my door and I opened it to see kyle.
âOh Heyâ I mumbled and he walked inside with Ryan behind him.
âYou two? Sort this out. This is annoyingâ kyle sighed
âKyle-â
âKyle-â
I groaned and Ryan chuckled
âSorryâ he mumbled and I nodded
âIâm sorry too Ryan.â I replied and he shook his head
âItâs my fault. I was just jealous because chloe was my mate but she always talked about you, she liked you. And when she rejected me, I thought it was because of youâ Ryan mumbled sitting on the bed
âThatâs stupid Ryan. I would and never like chloe. I actually hate her. Sheâs really annoying. And how could you think that it was because of me? Thatâs stupid. Because you know I wouldnât dream of being with anyone else than cherry. And Iâm not going to cheat on her. Sheâs my mateâ I explained and they both sighed
âJaxon, bethany- sheâs not coming backâ kyle said and I shook my head
âShe promised to never leave me. I know sheâs coming back. I know she is. She loves me so she has to come back!â I shouted
âJaxon sheâs dead!â Kyle shouted and I growled
âThatâs your luna your talking about. MY MATE! Sheâs not deadâ I growled knowing my eyes were black.
âSorry alphaâ they both apologised
âLEAVE!â I yelled and they both walked out the room.
âSHEâS ALIVE. I FUCKING KNOW IT!â
âSHE CANâT LEAVE ME. SHE PROMISEDâ I shouted punching the wall just as the door opened and Oliver ran in with Rachel behind him.
âOli come back here. Your dad is a little upset. You can talk to him laterâ she mumbled not coming into the room and Oliver shook his head
âDaddy. Whatâs wrong?â He asked quietly and I sighed and laid on the bed
âI canât give up Oliver. I need to find your mom. I need to find cherryâ I mumbled and he laid his head on my chest, Rachel closing the door behind us,when she realised I was calm.
âDaddy, mommy is coming back. You said mommy is just in the stars. She went to get me a star right? So she has to come back and give it to me. And you said mommy is hereâ he touched my chest and I smiled
âYeah. She is. I know sheâs coming back. It might take a long time. But she will be back. Soonâ I mumbled sitting up in bed
âShall we get pizza?â I asked and he nodded
âYay!â He shouted and ran out the room.
Oliver is the only reason I am living.
