Alpha Jax sat alone in his office. His head hung behind his chair. He has been worried about a lot of things ever since he heard of the presence of Shane Moss. His council members who were excited that he started joining for meetings have no clue as to why. Even the man who was sent to greet him had no clue of who Shane Moss is to Alpha Jax. The fear and tension in him heightened when the council member returned with a message from Shane Moss. He would come back for what is his.
Alpha Jax knows he is strong. He knows his own strength. He guessed he could possibly defeat Shane Moss in a one-on-one fight. But the fight with Shane Moss is not going to be about strength alone. It would define his political power also. And lately he has a bad reputation among his people. The idea of having multiple sex slave does not sit well with people but they could not voice out. He knows if given the chance and hope of protection, even his most trusted friend in the council would turn against him.
Another reason Alpha Jax would not want people to know about the past relationship between him and Shane Moss would be because of Benjamin. No one would want to accept that their Alpha is having sex with men amidst him still having multiple sex slaves. They would judge him with their moral compass which is probably flawed. But they won’t see themselves. Even those who are gays would come out to protest against him. Worse thing would be if they knew that in this modern day and age, he forced someone to be with him because of his position and power.
Alpha Jax will not be surprised if Shane Moss began spreading propaganda about his relationship with Ava. If he should find out how much he had to get her and how he had been treating her. At this point, Alpha Jax knows he has to keep things more hidden than they had ever been.
Three knocks on the door interrupted his ray of thoughts and fears. He ignored it at first, but the knock came again.
“Who on the goddess’s green earth is that?” He screamed in frustration.
“It’s me, My Alpha. It’s Benjamin.” Alpha Jax sighed.
“Come in!” He ordered. Benjamin walked in and looked around. He stood before Alpha Jax.
“What is it? Why are you here?” Alpha Jax asked. With recent developments of how he had been treating him, in fear of Benjamin not conspiring against him, he was not expecting Benjamin to be free with him.
“I want to let you know that Ava has been sick since two days.”
“How is that possible? She cannot be sick!”
“It’s the sickness of female werewolves. Their monthly discharge of blood,” Benjamin said.
“Oh that! It’s not something serious, is it?”
“It’s not too serious. Just that in the roster for your pleasure, it’s her turn tomorrow. And she wanted me to let you know,” Benjamin said.
“Oh I see,” Alpha Jax replied. He looked at Benjamin.
“If you do not have anything left for me, I will like to take my leave,” Benjamin replied. Alpha Jax did not say anything in reply to Benjamin’s words. Benjamin turned to leave.
“Come back here!” Alpha Jax ordered Benjamin. He stopped and turned back.
“Yes, Alpha Jax?”
“Before you leave, tell me about Shane Moss, your former mate,” Alpha Jax inquired. Benjamin looked around and frowned at the mention of the name.
“I know nothing about him anymore. You ordered me never to talk about him!”
“Same me is asking you to tell me how close you guys were,” Benjamin said.
“We were as close as every mate should be,” Benjamin replied.
“Now that’s it. I don’t care whatever your intelligence level is, do not ever riddle me when I ask you questions. Answer my questions!” Alpha Jax stood up.
“I am not sure what you want me to say,” Benjamin replied. Alpha Jax moved closer to him.
“What do you want me to say? That you took me away from him when we were beginning to have the best moments of our life or that you just switched up because you saw me doing the very job you employed me to do?” Benjamin flared up before Alpha Jax. Alpha Jax walked slowly to him. He grabbed him by the waist and looked into his eyes.
“Never speak to me in such a manner. I am your Alpha and I do with you as I please!” He growled deeply with a low tone. He spoke the words slowly. Benjamin fell on his knees. He groaned in pain and begged to be released from the position he is in. Alpha Jax raised him up, and punched him. He saw his lips burst and he smiled at him.
Benjamin scurried around the room for a minute. Alpha Jax got murderous intent from him.
“Now I don’t know what relationship you had with him and I don’t care. I just want to let you know that no matter what he is or who he becomes, if you ever keep in touch with him, I will know and you will suffer the worst death ever!” Alpha Jax said again. He turned away from Benjamin and sat on his seat.
“Now be gone, and get me that Ava bitch. Tell her to come to me now!” Alpha Jax ordered. He watched Benjamin stagger away. Alpha Jax knows he does not derive pleasure in hurting Benjamin, but it’s a necessary evil, if he wants to keep his fear intact in his mind.
