The Jilted Alpha (Jaxon and Sable) novel Chapter 40

Giselle POV

I’ve been running for three days. I’ve had to shift multiple times to cover more ground. I wasn’t supposed to turn out this way. How the hell could I be used as a pawn? I loved him, no doubt. I don’t want to do as he asks, it could end my life. He knew it and he didn’t care. He said there is something there he needs, and I will help him get it.

I was left purposefully injured. I have been weak these last three days. Now I am almost at Winter Moon. I know he has grown the pack. I know it would have better for me to stay there. I have a lot of regrets about how I treated Jaxon because of my ambition. I’m hurting so much more now than I ever did back then. I thought the Moon Goddess made a mistake. How foolish was I? If it weren’t for my pup, I wouldn’t do this at all. I would leave and take my son with me. But Jasper is threatening me with his life. His own blood! How could he?

Either way, one of us loses our lives. I would rather Jaxon kill me and my son be spared from Jasper’s wrath. I would take that fate a hundred times over as long as my son survives. When my family found out what I had done to Jaxon, they disowned me. His family also wanted nothing to do with me. My son is the only family I have left that doesn’t hate me and that isn’t disappointed in me.

I have another two days before I reach Winter Moon. I will follow Jasper’s instructions. When everything is said and done, I will find a way to escape with my son, somewhere quiet and secluded, where no one will find us. I just hope I survive this ordeal to make it happen.

Diane POV

He introduced her as his Luna! He always said he wouldn’t take on another Luna. He didn’t want another mate, ‘fated or otherwise’. What a bunch of bullshit. I love him. I know what he likes. When we are at events, I make him look good. I haven’t been given Luna responsibilities, but I know I would have done them to perfection.

So, what if I slept with the warriors? How many women did he sleep with? He is just as guilty as I am. Which makes us perfect for each other. Seeing him kiss that bitch in the dining hall made my stomach turn. He should be kissing me, announcing me, and celebrating me!

That bitch is from Dark Flame. I found out Alpha Darius is over that pack. She was his Lead Warrior. Maybe if I work out an agreement with him, we can help each other. He can take back Sable, and I will keep Jaxon and we will stay out of each other’s way. I need to find a way to make them willingly reject each other. Then there will be no other ties between them. If not, then I will have to take drastic measures. I hope it doesn’t come to that, but I will save the very last penny of the allowance I was given monthly by Jaxon to pay someone to handle this problem if need be.

Darius POV

I have been in a drunken stupor ever since I found out that Sable is fated to Jaxon. The Moon Goddess must hate me. Brock has been angry with me for not getting Sable back. I can’t just barge into Winter Moon. We are not strong enough. I want Sable back here, with me. She should be my Luna.

“Alpha, we received word from Winter Moon. They have provided us with a list of who is coming, how many and also for the Elder Council. Elder Crane has also provided us with additional instruction for a smooth and peaceful transition.” My beta Anton tells me.

“Alpha Darius.” I answered.

“Alpha Darius, this is Diane Richards. I think you and I should talk.” The woman’s voice on the phone says.

“Who are you?”

“I am a pack member of Winter Moon. I should be the future Luna. Alpha Jaxon is mated to Sable Embers. She was a member of your pack, wasn’t she?”

My ears perk up, and this woman now has my undivided attention. “Go on.”

“I will make this quick. I want to help you get Sable back and away from Jaxon. If you help me, I’ll help you.”

Finally, an inside informant. This could work. “What did you have in mind?”
