Chapter 76

Axton POV

Friday

The Supernatural council placed an official sanction on me, barring me from leaving the city for the next two weeks. Meaning Elena now has an extra two weeks to her Alpha anonymity clause. And I could not leave the city, therefore I could not see her or the kids unless by some miracle she came here.

Khan is furious, not so much with her but more so with me, yet still he is a little peeved that Elena would take it that far which now means unless she chooses to, I won’t see the boys today or have them for the weekend.

I haven’t heard a single word from her since, absolutely nothing, despite my constant messages. So for now, I had to suck it up or pay the anonymity breach fee. This doesn’t phase me, but Eli does not think it is in our best interest to anger Marco with how much influence he has within the councils.

Hearing the door open, Eli walks in with a smile on his face, holding the paperwork I have been waiting for.

“You got it?” I ask him, leaning forward.

“Yep, you officially own every scrap of land around her pack,” Eli confirms, handing me the paperwork. I chuckle. Ele- na is going to regret angering me because by midweek I will have organized for construction to start right along her bor- ders. Let’s see how she likes the noise. I glance down at the

paperwork and its massive stamp of approval, along with the council agreement for work to start.

“You’re a fool. You’ll only anger her more.” Khan huffs at

“That’s the point,” I reminded him. She’ll have to come to the city and I own this city, so nothing gets past me and nei- ther will she. If Elena wants to play silly little games. She is about to learn who she is playing against.

Khan laughs at my thoughts. “No, you’re about to learn. who you’re playing against.” he snickers.

“And I can’t wait to see her put you in place,” he adds.

“You’re aware you’re my wolf, right? Not hers! You should be on my side!” I snarl at him and I see Eli watching me. He raises an eyebrow at me while I argue with my wolf.

“But she is my mate. Sorry, but if I gotta choose sides. I choose the one where my throat doesn’t get cut in my sleep.” I shake my head at him. He seriously overestimates her. She has no influence beside Marco. My brows furrow, knowing that Marco is also one of my biggest assets.
