Chapter 76

Book:Alpha's Puppet  Published:2024-5-31

Immediately Lily left Alpha Jax’s room, he knew she wouldn’t leave immediately. He could feel her heart racing while she kept pacing around the corridor. He could not say anything to her. He already told her he would be fine. And he knows he is going to be fine. But all of a sudden, it’s appearing as if he won’t be fine. He began feeling dizzy.
He heard Lily curse a sex slave to walk out of the pack. He realised she must have done it out of anger or frustration. Alpha Jax could no longer stand the weakness in him. He decided to take the potion he collected from that witch. He walked towards his water dispenser. He poured water into a glass cup. He walked back to where the big bottle is. He tried opening it but he could not. He dropped the master first. He wanted to muster all the strength he has left in him, and immediately he did that, he fell unconscious.
Ava came from no where but he see her walking down the balcony, then on an aisle. She knelt before a priestess of the moon goddess so she could be blessed. She has a native dress of the werewolves. And bloods splashed all around her. Alfa Jax stood a bit far from her. He had a staff in his hand. It’s not the staff he got while he was an Alpha. It’s another one. A staff shaped like a sword, but with naked werewolves carved onto it.
He looked around to see other familiar faces. He saw Benjamin smiling, his sister clapping. His mother sat on a chair and gave him a broad smile. Those smiles she use to give when his father was still alive. He saw lots of other faces but none of his sex slaves. Alpha Jax began walking towards the priestess too.
“And here comes the beacon of love,” she announced. Everyone began clapping for him. He walked majestically with his bodyguards behind him. They were matching.
Alpha Jax went straight and knelt before the priestess.
“Alpha Jax, do you take Ava Deal as your perfect Luna, blessed by the moon goddess?”
“I do.”
“Ava Deal, do you take Alpha Jax as your perfect Mate and Alpha, blessed by moon goddess?”
“I do,” Ava replied.
“And now the conjugal bliss is sealed,” the priestess announced. Alpha Jax stood up and walked towards Ava. He dragged her up and gave her a kiss. A very passionate kiss.
“I love you Ava,” he said.
“Do you?” Alpha Jax got pushed and drawn into a room where he saw himself sitting on a stool before himself.
“Do you love her now?” The other version of himself asked.
“Yes, I do?” He replied
“Do you remember how you use to treat her? Like trash. Like she is not existing, just because you are too scared to accept the truth. Too scared to let go of the mistakes of a dead woman,” his alternate self said, referring to Natalie.
“I know I fucked up. And I tried fixing things,” Alpha Jax said.
“I- I- I am doing my best to make sure she forgets how I use to hunt her. The sort of horrible person I was. I am trying,” he stammered, almost in tears.
Alpha Jax saw an ethereal movement out of himself. The figure looks like him. It’s some sort of his future self. Or what he is supposed to be in the nearest future. Now he can express himself.
“What did he say?” Alpha Jax asked his alternate self, refering to what his future self said.
“He apologized for treating Ava wrong. He begged and promised to treat her right,” the alternate self said.
“Ava? Treat Ava right? Have I ever treated her wrong? She is a sex slave of mine that I bought with my money,” he growled.
“She is your mate assigned to you by the moon goddess,” his alternate self said.
“The moon goddess? We all heard about the stories of the moon goddess. Why did she not accept men’s proposal when they came to her? I can’t make my decisions by myself? No, I do not care what Ava I’d, she will remain my sex slave,” Alpha Jax snapped. He stood up and walked towards his alternate self.
“Then why have you been punishing that poor boy you collected from his mate? Why have you been punishing him? Is it not because you fear Ava will be lost to him?” His alternate self said.
“Oh no, what nonsense do you spew from your mouth? How dare you?” He moved violently to his alternate self. He tried to touch it, but it faded away. His alternate self appeared behind him. It held his head and blow into his face.
“Wake up! And face your reality.”
Alpha Jax gasped. He could feel himself stronger than he was. But he is confused and angry at what he saw in his dream. Him and Ava? Something that would never happen. He realised he has been having soft approach towards her lately, and that he has not been treating her like she deserves.
“No, no, no, no, no! I cannot let this happen. Not with any woman, not to talk of with my slave,” he said and rushed to take a glass cup. When he got to his mini bar, he saw the glass of water he took before he went unconscious. He poured a new water, and went to the bottle he got from the witch.
He poured a capful of it into the glass water and drank everything almost immediately. He could feel his chest heavy but then a moment of relief came, and he went back to his normal self. He sat on the chair for some minutes to regain his strength. He feels whole again like the Alpha Jax he was. Now he has the strength to punish Ava, and go after Shane Moss. But the nearest victim should suffer first.
“Ava!” He roared.
