Jackson stood numb as Elijah ran up the stairs, shell shocked. Jessica had her hand clamped over her mouth too shocked to speak.
“The boy Scarlett’s hinted to be in love with… it’s not Elijah is it?” Jackson asked quietly. If it was a one-way thing, he would understand but if this were from both of them… it would be problematic.
“And if it is?” Amelia retorted.
“They are step-siblings.” Jackson growled, his eyes flashing. Amelia hid the flinch that automatically threatened to overcome her body. His Alpha aura weighing down on her.
“Jackson… let’s talk about this calmly.” Jessica whispered.
“He is up there! Doing Goddess knows what with his sister!” He hissed.
“Oh, so now they are siblings? What happened when you were telling him they aren't actually siblings? For heavens darn sake, shut that mouth and man up! If you chose to marry and mate Jessica that’s on you! What if they turn out to be mates?!” Amelia snapped, her patience wearing thin.
“Please calm down, I don’t want Scarlett to hear us.” Jessica said softly. “She’s been through a lot Jackson.”
“I know, but Elijah, no wonder he’s been refusing to go to the mating ceremony. It’s because of this… I don’t care about love or not… He needs to find his Luna.” Jackson said, storming into the lounge.
Jessica looked at Indigo, motioning for her to head to bed. She nodded silently, making her way upstairs. She felt as if something was still there niggling the back of her mind.
Amelia shut the door to the lounge once she and Jessica had stepped inside, taking a seat on the couch as Jackson and Jessica sat opposite her.
“His feelings for her are strong and vice versa, I do think there’s a high probability they are mates. If they are, then she is the rightful Luna. Tell me Jackson, if that happens then what will you do? You will be the one in the wrong then. It will only show the two of you should never have been.” She said icily. Her words cut Jessica but Jessica knew it was nothing but the truth.
Jackson looked at Jessica, he loved her and he couldn't imagine life without her. “That’s different.”
“It isn't.” Jessica said quietly, looking at her hands. “Aunt Amelia is right Jackson, if we can do this, we can’t really stop them…”
“I don’t want them to hurt each other, especially Scarlett. We all know Elijah is a player.”
“One who seems to have stopped his ways.” Amelia said now standing up as she sighed. “Do you remember the first time Jessica appeared on pack grounds?”
“Of course.” Jackson said.
“I openly accepted Jessica because I had a dream that a special she-wolf will come to this pack and would need to be kept secret until her time comes. When I saw Jessica and the girls, I instantly knew it was Scarlett. That defiance in her eyes, that unbroken strength. Even today no matter what she went through, that will still burns bright. I know it was the moon goddess, I don’t know how but I know it was her who came to me in my dream and you all know Scarlett is special.”
