The Beta Trials by Cooper (Jace & Jordan)

Chapter 20 (Jace)

I walked Dr. Braxton and Kyra to the front door and after making sure that they knew their way to the hospital, I turned to head back inside and that’s when I heard the snarl.

I raced back into the main room leading to the dining room and found Taylor and Jordan facing off.

“Stand down!” Jordan snarls at Taylor. “He’s MY mate!” Taylor snarls back at her.

“Really? You want to go there? With ME?” Jordan snarls back at her.

I walk up to Nolan. “What the f*uck is going on?”

“Alpha Taylor texted me, said she wanted to talk, so I came here to talk to her. Jordan asked me what I was doing here and that’s when Alpha Taylor came out and began snarling at her to get away from me.”

I can tell he doesn’t want to be happy about the two of them fighting, but it’s hard not to feel good about your mate publicly claiming you. That, I understand.

“You stay away from him,” Taylor snarls.

“Oh, like you stayed away from my mate for the last few years?” Jordan snaps.

“I didn’t know he was your mate until recently!” Taylor says and the two of them keep inching closer together.

I know it’s wrong, it’s really wrong, but there is something about an Alpha wolf cat fight that is really f*ucking s*exy.

“Damn,” Nolan says, and for once, we’re in agreement.

“Yeah,” I say, never taking my eyes off the two of them.

“And I didn’t know Nolan was your mate until yesterday, so I’ll say it again. STAND DOWN!” Jordan growls.

“Jace, why aren’t you getting in there and breaking this up?” Alpha Mason asks as he comes and stands beside me, Alpha Seth right behind him.

I turn and look at him like he’s crazy. “Do I look stupid to you, Alpha? Those two would tear me to shreds. And no offense, but I don’t see either of you jumping in there,” I say to him and Alpha Seth.

He glances at me quickly. “We’re not stupid either. One may be my daughter and the other my niece, but we’re talking about mates here,” he says.
