Chapter 74

Elena POV

Axton has been impossible all afternoon, we have done nothing but argue over my pack’s security and I can see the women are becoming antsy, his aura radiating out of him has them shaken.

“You need to do something Elena, the women are too frightened to come eat with us.” My mother mindlinks me which makes me press my lips in a line. His aura may not af- fect me, my mother, Luke or our sons but these women are Omega and I was getting too tired of reminding him to tone it down. I was willing to work things out with him after seeing him until he once again wanted to remind me of how insignifi- cant I am compared to him.

Sondra looks like she is about to blow his damn head off any second, my mother has been keeping her distracted. Glancing out the window where we usually set up for dinner together each night with our little pack, the place is complete- ly bare.

“Axton, you need to calm down. I am letting you stay.” I remind him for the hundredth time.

“No, all this time you have had them unprotected, and now you expect me to leave them out here with you. My men can’t be out here until Monday, so until then, either I stay or you can come back to City with me!”

I press my lips in a line, he knows I can’t do that. These women have been away from pack societies for years, they won’t follow and I can’t abandon them out here.

“I agreed to let you do border patrols. I am giving you what you want.” I tell him while Lexa growls in my head.

“Yeah why don’t just roll over and show him our belly Ele- na. Having to walk on eggshells in our own pack, this is bull- shit.” Lexa growls at me.
