It was a solid thirty minutes after Ava left Alpha Jax’s room. He was going completely crazy, as he flung his war books down the floor. His eyes were red, not with tears but because of the anger that threatened to suffocate him.
He roared into the dark in a barely conceived rage. This was the first time a slave had been so bold to shift while he was still inside her cunt. What the hell did she think she was to act the way she does? She was nothing, and he would never accept her as his mate. Never!
“Are you done throwing tantrums?” Rama piqued up from his mind.
Alpha Jax slammed the book down. His wolf was back again with his consistent whining. They didn’t see eye to eye on some issues and this was part of those issues. It took everything that Alpha Jax had to pull him back in when Ivanka had made her disgusting appearance. Or, Rama would have fucked her raw. That would have pushed everything too far. It would have been bonding on another level. And, he didn’t want that!
“I do not want to talk to you, ” Alpha Jax snapped at his wolf.
“You must talk to me. If I leave your body, you would be worse than a human, and the title you enjoy so much would be taken away from you,” Rama sang in his mind.
Alpha Jax gritted his teeth together. This was a part of being a werewolf that was so inconveniencing. He and his wolf were separate souls. The goddess blessed him with his wolf very early, at the shy age of 8. It had taken all he had to create a relationship with the Alpha wolf, who was equally as stubborn as he was.
“Fine, since you’re already here, why don’t you get it all out of your system,” Alpha Jax quipped sarcastically.
“Then, I will speak. I don’t understand what your problem is with Ava. The goddess has blessed you with a sensible and strong mate, but you’re ruining your bond with your dastardly acts,” Rama pointed out smartly.
Alpha Jax rolled his eyes as he sank down on the bare floor. His books surrounded him like angels and he was grateful for that. Rama was a staunch believer in love, so it was no wonder that he felt that he was actually making some type of mistake.
“I don’t do love, Rama! The last time I did, what happened? Do you remember what you want to do when it’s convenient?” He shot back.
“That was in the past. Move on, Jax. I’m telling you, I can’t live without Ivanka, she is my woman!” Rama said fiercely.
Alpha Jax picked up the book and slammed it across the wall. The pages bled through like it had a mind of its own. He watched it spill across the tiles and that made him feel more annoyed.
“Shut up!” He snapped at his wolf.
Without much pressure, he closed the connection. He didn’t want to hear Rama’s despicable voice. What he needed was a vengeful sex, and he was going to get it.

Ava let her hands fall to her sides. She slid down the door as tears fell from her eyes. She felt like her heart was being shredded in twos. It hurt so much that she couldn’t even breathe.
Since she got here, she has been telling herself how much it didn’t matter if her mate accepted her. But, it actually mattered because this was her life.
She nailed scraped parts of the wood off the door as she kept moving them through the length of the door. She kept at it, not once did she care that someone might pass through the hall, and see her naked.
“Why?” She whispered.
Her body felt like it was on fire. She needed to find some sort of release or she might break down this door, and demand an explanation from Alpha Jax. That, she wouldn’t want. She didn’t crave to be humiliated more than was strictly necessary.
She pulled herself to her feet quickly, and ran down the hall, off the stairs and through the gates. There was none to stop her. With careful acrobatics, she jumped up the sky, and gave reins to her wolf. Ivanka howled as her paws touched the ground.
It felt so nice to be free. It was so nice to let Ivanka do her thing. The poor thing was as distraught as she was, and that was perfect. For once, they were in sync. What Ivanka had done for her to gain respect had humbled her, and she was so grateful for her, and their friendship.
She moved through the grassland, into the forest. It was mainly her paws doing the work, and not her mind. She just wanted to be an animal. One of her paws broke a tree branch, but she didn’t stop. She kept going for a good hour.
Then, she heard a sound, like a collective howl. She glided to a halt, and took solace behind a tree. Her brown eyes crept into the night as she searched keenly on where the howl had come from. She couldn’t make out anything in the dark.
The howl sounded again, more disturbing than before. She moved towards her right, shook her fur, and wondered if she should call for help. But, even if she did, she wasn’t yet an intricate part of the Bond Pack, it would be a useless action.
She felt another wolf, nudging her with his head on her stomach. Frightened, she moved right, bared her fangs, and got ready to attack. Her front paws were almost at the point of inflicting pain on the wolf.
It shook its big head. Then, howled low. It was code for, you’re not in danger. Right before her eyes, the brown wolf with hints of white transformed into a handsome human. She shook her fur once more, as his features became more distinguished. It was Benjamin!
