WebNovelChapter 0394 - Josie - "Woah, Josie what did you do?" Jace spots both Knox and I, and heads towards us, with that teasing glint in his eye.
"Nothing...why?" My eyes are locked on the front door, intrigue overwhelmingas I want to go inside and put an ear to the office door. It would be pointless, the alpha office is sound proof.
"You fled the Clear Waters pack, the house keeper of said pack is here the next day...just looks a bit suss." He casually shrugs but I know he's dying for information.
"Being the future alpha, shouldn't you be in that meeting?" Knox's voice isn't cold, but there is a bite laced within it....a defiant warning to back off.
Knox's hand even grips tightly on to my hip as he calls Jace out. He had a point, and judging by the way Jace's smile drops, he knows it too. "Jaxon's looking for you." Jace grunts out like a child that can no longer play with his toys.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Really?" "Yes, he's at the training grounds.." Jace quirks an eyebrow at Knox, a smirk forming back on those lips.
With a sigh, Knox places a kiss upon the top of my head before tapping my butt discreetly. He then walks away into the direction of the training grounds.
I move towards the house, only for Jace to take grip of my arm and holdback.
"I think whatever they are discussing, you shouldn't be in there. So what really happened?" "I..." Jace is my brother, a third part of me. Why can't I tell him, I would trust him with my life...he would never betray me, never betray us.
He'll find out soon enough...but then everything will change and even if for another hour...yes maybe I should let him enjoy that.
Even if he doesn't know..ignorance is bliss after all, isn't that what they say.
Not only am I going to share what has happened to me, but this needs to cfrom Mum as well. This is about the both of us...and I'm not sure if Mum is ready to share her abilities yet. My truth to others, completely impacts her too.
What even are her abilities...she said she could immobilise a component. Take or give energy, how did she even tab into that kind of power.
I had so many questions for Mum. When she found out, how she found out...questions, I will ask in time. "Josie?" "Hmm?" "You spaced out. What's going on...you know you can tellanything." He's taken a step closer to me, softness within his eyes. I can see that I was starting to cause him to worry.
"I know...and I will, when I can." "You aren't settling that rising worry within me." "Sorry..." I chuckle out.
"Anyway, whats going on with you." I softly smile, glad to change the topic for a while.
"What do you mean.." "Jace, I mean con. You leave, out of the blue...we can't get hold of you. Then you cback rocking this bad boy image." Today he was wearing black jeans, a black v neck T-shirt and black boots. He used to wear colours, but he was now black, grey or white. "Bad boy image?" "The tattoos...where have they cfrom?" "I just fancied a change." He shrugs out looking down at his own clothing.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"A change is a hair cut...growing a beard.." "I'm just deciding what I want for once." "Well in doing that, Jaxon's been an arsehole. You know his wolf attacked Knox's?" I'm all for Jace making positive changes in his life but something is eating away atthat this isn't as positive as he believes. That something really is bothering him.
"That isn't unusual, Knox can handle Jaxon's wolf. Always has been able to." Always has been able to? I don't like the sound of that.
"Well that won't be happening again, I'm not seeing my mate left with an inch of his life left." I growl out at him. "I'm sure it wasn't that bad. Knox always heals quickly."
"Jace...the wounds were that extensive that I didn't think he was going to make the night. How often has this happened?" Why was hen acting so calmly about this. What free rein has Jaxon had whilst being away...whatever has been happening it stops. I'll make it stop. "Not a lot, I'm usually there to help." Jace's calm attitude was annoyingmore than his actual words. Why was he acting so casual about this. "Well you weren't here to help. If Knox hadn't stepped in, then I would have felt the brunt of Jaxon's anger." "Jaxon wouldn't hurt you..."
"Jace, you didn't see him...it's like he was possessed. I've never seen him that angry. I think pad is worried nopy about retiring.." I keep my voice low, my head checking nobody was in ear shot. "Now I've heard it all, con Josie..." He laughs out but stops when I growl again.
"Jace, I'm being deadly serious.
Jaxon is different when you aren't here, he relies on you more than you qutah know." give out an exasperated grean, he needs to start taking this seriously. Jaxon can't go around hurting people just because he has an overly boisterous wolf. That's not on Knox to help him to control.
