“You should not make my subjects like to me, sister,” Alpha Jax reprimanded his sister lightly.
“Sorry, it’s just important that I get you all here,” she apologized.
“You made me scared for a moment,” Alpha Jax said barely taking his eyes off Ava.
“Okay, so everyone please be calm, I have something to show you. And Jax, no matter what it is, you will not stand up from your seat, to make rash decisions,” Lily made him promise.
“No problem. Let’s see what it is,” he agreed. Lily moved to her door. She locked it and stood close to it.
“What is it that you want to show us, that makes you lock the door?” Alpha Jax asked nervously. Ava looked around nervously too, but she made sure she does not look directly at Alpha Jax.
“Don’t worry. Benjamin, open the door to the bathroom,” she ordered. Benjamin went close to the bathroom. He opened the door slowly.
“Just open it at once, goddamnit!” Alpha Jax snapped. Benjamin opened it and Shane Moss came out of the bathroom.
“Hello,” he waved his hand awkwardly. He growled when he saw Alpha Jax. He was about rushing towards Alpha Jax when Benjamin pushed him back.
“What mockery is this, Benjamin?” Shane Moss growled.
“Just calm down, please. I am sorry!” Benjamin held Shane Moss. Alpha Jax stood up from where he sat. He looks surprised but not scared.
“Who is the runt who wants to fight? He looks strong. I like his aura. Intimidating, but not to me,” Alpha Jax teased.
“Jax, stop it!” Lily snapped.
“What? I…” Alpha Jax looked at Ava who looks scared.
“Sorry, but who is he?”
“Jax, that’s Shane Moss of othe night wolf…”
“What sacrilege?” He brought out his claws and rushed towards Shane Moss. Lilu rushed to him. She grabbed him.
“Ava, help!” Benjamin screamed at Ava. Ava looked at Shane and Alpha Jax. Benjamin seems like he has control over Shane, but it’s Lily who needs help. She joines Lily and held Alpha Jax.
“Leave me alone, let me kill this bastard. This son of hideous thing from the debt of hell. He wants me to surrender, let me show him what it is to surrender,” Alpha Jax cried, but Ava and Lily did not hold.
“Alpha Jax, please calm down,” Ava begged him. He looked down on her. He slowed down his rage and eventually, he stopped.
“I did not bring both of you here to have at each other’s throat,” Lily said.
“He wants to have your brother’s head,” Alpha Jax thundered.
“And you took what belongs to me,” Shane replied.
“I am an Alpha. Alpha of the bond moon pack. Nothing belongs to anyone while I…”
“Shut up, Jax! Will you just shut up for a while? You are too full of pride and that’s why you are bitter. Just calm down and hear me out,” Lily begged. Alpha Jax stopped and sat on his bed. Ava stood close to him, incase he wants to attack Shane.
“I brought Shane here to clear the air. For things to be settled. We don’t have to kill people because of the pride of one man. I know how hurt Benjamin and Shane are. How broken they are, but I beg you Shane, please forgive my brother and our whole pack,” Lily begged.
“Forgive us? What have we done?” Alpha Jax asked.
“Oh! You dare ask? You separated two mates for years. You made both of them suffer. You punished their hearts for the satisfaction of your ego. You have offended not just them but the goddess. And I dare say that’s why she is cursing you away from love,” Lily responded. Alpha Jax did not say anything.
“So Jax, your pride will not be hurt. You will be seen as the Alpha who still wins every battle. Just apologize to both of them, and let Benjamin go with his mate,” Lily advised.
“What?” Alpha Jax gasped.
“Yes! You are to let Benjamin go.”
“I will not allow such thing. Let Benjamin go, it’s like releasing what I…” Ava scoffed, then chuckled. She smiled and left his side. She turned to the door.
“Think about it Jax, you let Benjamin go, and you can have Ava,” Lily said out loud.
“I… I…” he stammered.
“You don’t want Ava? Will you still allow your pride to blind you Jax? Please, for you own happiness,” Lily went on her knees and she cried. Alpha Jax feel moved by her tears. He looked at Ava, and he noticed how she is avoiding eye contact with him. Both things hurt him at the same time.
“Please Jax, mother would want you to do this.”
Alpha Jax stood up from where he is sitting. He goes close to Shane Moss and extended his hand. He shook hands with them.
“I release Benjamin. Both of you can be together, and forgive me for whatever pain I caused you,” Alpha Jax said.
“See?” Lily stood up and jumped on him. She hugged him.
Alpha Jax hugged her back, but he dropped her quick. He went to where Ava has been standing.
“Ava, you too, please forgive me,” Ava gasped. Alpha Jax knelt before her in apology.
“I forgive you,” she said.
“And I use this moment, to ask for your hands in marriage Ava. Will you be my mate? Be my Luna and rule by my side till forever,” Alpha Jax proposed. Ava looked up. She saw Lily’s eye lit. Benjamin smiling and Shane also with a smile. Lily nodded her head. Benjamin gave her a thumps up. Alpha Jax has a smile on his face. Lily knew this is one of the thing Ava always wanted.
“No, I can’t,” Ava replied.
