One Day, I Woke Up A Werewolf novel Chapter 43

Hailey's POV

"What did you just say about your alpha and luna?" Jaxon asks Azuri, his face had suddenly contorted to one of anger and Azuri trembled in front of the man she just bared her heart out to.

"You forget your position and I let it slide because we are friends before any of this happened," Jaxon says pointing at the two of them.

"I now see how that was a big mistake on my part. Allowing you to speak freely to me has allowed you to disrespect my mate, my parents... generally the people way above you in ranking, and with your training, that is a little disappointing." Jaxon scolds, Azuri sitting back down and pouting like a child.

"Jaxon..." I try to say but it seems he had a lot to say to Azuri as he didn't even turn to face me when I called out to him.

"Azuri, I could have you killed for spewing such nonsense!" He says and Cayden sits back down now that I was in no danger.

"Oh go ahead! That would be better than having to live through a lifetime where I get to watch the love of my life sail off into the sunset with somebody else. To hell with this, to hell with you and your weak ass mate!" She screams out loud and stands up to walk away but Jaxon grabs her by the elbow and she stops, her face softening.

"You don't get to just walk away." He says through gritted teeth.

"We are clearly here to watch the lovers fight. Nothing you have said or done right now has helped you and Hailey in any way... It has only ignited a fire Hailey and I can clearly see is very much alive in the both of you... A fire that you seem to be addicted to. You could have just let her walk away because your main priority is Hailey but that is not the case is it? She knows the right buttons to press to have you choosing her every time over your own mate." Cayden says, standing next to me this time.

Jaxon let's go of Azuri, angry once again but this time, it was at Cayden.

"What are you saying, beta?" Jaxon asks, walking closer to Cayden.

"You heard me. Your lack of respect for My Alpha is very evident to anyone willing to pay enough attention and I cannot allow it, not in her place of residence. You speak about having a conversation that will not be had again but look at where we are, back to square one where Hailey questions your priorities and kicks you out... You go weeks without talking to each other and therefore delaying the prophecy." Cayden says to him without flinching, even though Jaxon's wolf was the one looking back at him.

Cayden moves over to face Azuri, who stood happy with her actions.

"And you, I ought to kill you for the disruption of balance in this meeting. Your alpha will not be able to stop me because of your ranking and he can mourn you alone for the trouble you cause my alpha in her home." Cayden says, grabbing her by the neck and raising her up. Jaxon growls, but as Cayden said, he can't save her.

Azuri looks to Jaxon for help but he stays quiet and she finally looks at me, just as time was running out for her and I place my hand on Cayden's shoulder. He throws her to the ground. Jaxon had a pained look on his face and that set me off.

I felt a fire burning inside of me, a fire that was growing, and before I knew it...

"You continue to humiliate me in front of this warrior. Her place in your world holds nothing to my position and yet you continue to ache for her somehow. I have done nothing to deserve this kind of treatment from you." I shout out and he fails to meet my eyes but his body was turned to face me.

Somehow I had released my alpha power, I had finally tapped into it and it was strong.
