Chapter 28 (Jaxon)

I hold Eve, not caring who is standing around watching. I hold her until both of us start to breath more easily.

“Alpha Jaxon,” Alpha Jonas says. I look at him and he tosses me some shorts. “We prefer our guests wear clothes.”

I smile, grabbing the shorts out of the air and pulling them on quickly.

“I’m sorry to barge onto your pack lands like this, I just needed to know that Eve was okay.”

“You’re leaving?” Eve asks and I hear the desperation in her, the same one I feel, needing to be near her.

“No,” I say before turning to Alpha Jonas. “I’d like to stay if that’s okay with you, Alpha.”

This is his pack. I need to respect him as its leader.

“I’ll call your sister, let her know you’re here,” he says.

“That’s not necessary,” I tell him.

“Our packs almost went to war several months ago, believe me, it’s necessary,” he says.

Both Eve and I look at him. “What?”

“Jaxon, it’s good to see you,” Melinda says coming over to us.

“What did he mean by that Melinda?” I ask her, forgetting myself. “Sorry, I mean, Luna.”

“Don’t you know
