Jaxon's POV
She was beautiful.
Goddess, she was breathtaking and I have to make her mine but how?
My dad said he just walked my mother to the woods and shifted in front of her to introduce her in to our world but that's just wrong. I mean, it worked for him but I doubt that would work on Hailey.
Besides, she's dealing with a lot now. Her horrible father and her mother passed away, I can't add on to the trauma. I will have to gently pull her in to my world but Azuri.
"Hey Jax.. want to hang out in my room?" Azuri asks and I shake my head no.
"What's your deal?" She asks me and I chuckle.
"I found someone else Azuri. You knew this when we started, why are you making it difficult?" I ask her.
"No. I knew things would end when you met your mate but you haven't so what's your deal?" She asks again.
"Look, we had a good run but the fire is out and I can't force myself to be with you. Don't make me have to use my authority to get you to stop playing my girl, you're not and you've never been. We agreed on this when we first got together so what changed?" I ask her and she looks down before looking up at me.
"I fell in love." She blurts out and I let out a growl.
"It is forbidden Azuri!! Why would you allow yourself to do that?! Fuck!" I shout out.
"It just happened okay? I had no control over it." She says to me.
"Brett told me this was a bad idea. Now even if I meet my mate, your wolf will want to kill her and she's only human. I'd have to have guards all around her to protect her from you! All because you couldn't wrap your head around the fact that we can never be together, not in the way you want. Fuck." I say before walking away from her.
"Are you going to tell your father?" She asks which has me stop in my tracks.
"No. It is forbidden for a shewolf to fall in love, especially with a male wolf who has a human mate somewhere in the world. If you are truly in love, you'll expose yourself to him and he will have to kill you." I say before walking away.
Azuri and I have always been friends but one drunken night we hooked up. One drunken night led to other nights and now this.
Now Hailey's life is in danger and that's all because of me. To save Hailey, I'd have to kill Azuri but she's my friend before anything else.
"What's wrong son?" Mother asks me as I throw myself on the couch next to her. My father was sitting on the opposite side.
"I found my mate." I say.
