The connection Benjamin tried creating into Ava’s soul was not useful immediately Alpha Jax grabbed her. Benjamin could not hear anything. The Alpha’s soul canceled his. But he heard some things about mates. It seems like Alpha Jax is about to have a mate, or is he intending to make her his mate.
Benjamin felt sad because this was a memory he always tried to seal out. A reality he tried his best to run away from. Alpha Jax had taken him away from his own mate. He had brought him here to serve him and be his master sex slave. His mate had been threatened and asked to never talk to Benjamin again. His mate belongs to the night-wolf pack.
Benjamin hated Alpha Jax from that moment but he budged it beneath his emotions. He does not show it to anyone. Even the Alpha himself believes Benjamin is his biggest supporter.
Benjamin is hell bent on making sure that Alpha Jax never sees his mate too. He encourages the Alpha’s promiscuousness just so he will not get a mate. And now that he suspects that Ava could be his mate, even though that’s not possible, he is going to make sure he destroys it.
On a second thought, Benjamin convinced himself that it is possible for Alpha Jax and Ava to be mates. Only that would explain the reason for the Alpha’s obsession with her. He had ignored most of his other sex slaves since Ava got here. Even though the Alpha might be fighting her with all his being, the truth is that he is accepting her as his mate. He might not notice, but the obsession and need to be with her alone proves to him accepting her.
“You know you don’t have to go too far as to getting us involved in their relationship or whatever it is. We could hurt them from a safe distance,” Falan said.
“I thought you were in love with her. I thought you did not accept him as our mate?” Benjamin asked his wolf.
“See, over the years I have come to realize that I cannot keep doing things for myself. I have a will greater than yours. But you have sacrificed so much for us. You have gone through a lot, so I must be less greedy,” the wolf replied.
“So what should I do? How do I affect both of them while being off fire range?”
“You should make Ava fall in love with you.”
“Is that not what I have been trying to do?”
“No! We have been trying to get to her wolf. Some of the methods I would have thought you will get to her wolf. It will convince her wolf. The affection I had for her is not for her, but her wolf. So you should work towards making Ava fall in love with you,” the wolf said.
“I will still need your help,” Benjamin replied to the wolf.
“Leave her! Her misery will be with him and you will be her comforter.”

“What do you mean I am weakening?” Alpha Jax raised his voice at his sister. She already pushed him out of Ava. Ava picked her cloth and dressed herself up. Her gown had been torn from behind. She covered it and tried to leave the room.
“Wait!” Lily ordered Ava. Ava turned around. She saw Lily looking directly into Alpha Jax’s eyes. That was something she dare not do.
“Jax! I am disappointed in you. Don’t you even have respect for our mother. Mother told you she liked her and this is how you treat her right after mother left?” Lily said. She turned and walked towards Ava. She covered Ava fr the rear and walked her out through the door.
Alpha Jax staggered immediately and both of them left. He felt a sharp migraine. His eyes became blurry, and his heart felt like it was constricting.
“What’s wrong with me?” He asked himself. He fell on his sofa, and tried resting. A heavy cough held him. He began coughing, till he rolled over from his bed. He gasped for hair while coughing. And all of a sudden, he spat out blood. Alpha Jax moved sluggishly to his bed. He brought out a cup and took water from his dispenser. He washed his mouth and spat it in the sink beside it.
He stepped back and sat on his table. He held his head high. Tears came out from his eyes, due to the cough. He cleaned it up and cleaned his running nose too. He sat in the same position for a minute more. Then he turned around, took his bottle of mistletoe and took a gulp.
He felt better. He could breath well and there was no chest pain. He took another gulp. Then he had a sigh of relief.
