Chapter 0492

-Jace-

"You need to control your temper more." Josie unfairly reprimands me as she circles around me in the courtyard outside the alpha house, her wolf shining out through her eyes.

Fuck, she looks like Dad except for her red hair. Those eyes are haunting to look at just like his; grey ash turning to an orange flame every time her wolf comes forward. She was angry at me, but for once I wasn't the asshole...he was. "He jumped me!" Her accusation was unjust, she wasn't even in the Alpha office when Jaxon jumped me...pushing me up against the wall.

I had been all but removed from the alpha office by Knox, even though I was not the one in the wrong.

"Why are you not yelling at him?" I point my fingers back towards the house, full well knowing Knox was now having to deal with Jaxon's temperamental beast.

"Oh, I will believe me. You need to be mindful that your absence hasn't been easy for Jaxon, nor me. Where I use words, Jaxon likes to use his fists."

"Don't I know it." My hand inadvertently rubs against my neck where he had applied most of his

body weight.

I was ready to take him on, to give him that fight he was so desperately craving...and I would have done, if Knox hadn't pulled him off me.

"If it wasn't for your mate..."

"My mate is perfect thank you, remember that next time he is saving your ass." Josie retorts, her eyes darting to the front door as Jaxon exits, followed closely by Knox.

Jaxon's eyes are once again burning with anger, a step made towards me...only for him to stop when Knox places a hand upon his shoulder... pulling him back.
