Chapter 36 (Jaxon)

“Nolan, I’m Alpha Jordan. It’s nice to meet you. Welcome to my pack,” Jordan says, walking up to greet Nolan.

“Alpha Jordan,” he says, never taking his eyes off of hers. “I’ve heard a lot about you.”

“Only good things I hope,” she says, and I can tell she’s a bit flattered by his attention. “Very good things,” he says, seemingly ignoring everyone else.

I step up beside my sister. “I’m Alpha Jaxon,” I say, extending my hand.

Finally, he tears his gaze away from Jordan. “Alpha Jaxon, I’ve heard a lot about you as well.”

“I’m guessing it wasn’t ‘very good things’ like you heard about my twin.” It’s a not-so-subtle warning to back off. My sister is an Alpha. Every unmated male wants her. It’s made me very protective of her over the years.

“On the contrary, I heard you are an amazing fighter. I can’t wait to see for myself,” he says smoothly.

He turns back to Jordan. “Would you be so kind as to go over the plans for the week with me and show me to my room Alpha.”

“I can show you to your room,” Jace says, coming up on Jordan’s other side.

“Guys, Nolan is our guest,” Jordan says to me and Jace.

She tucks her arm through Nolan’s skillfully turning him toward the packhouse. “You’ll have to excuse my twin and my Gamma. They’re very protective of me.”

“As they should be. The only Alpha female in four generations who will take over her pack,” he says.

“You’ve done your homework, warrior,” Jordan says as I watch them walk away. “I never walk into a situation blind if I can help it. And you, my dear Alpha, are very intriguing,” I hear him say as they walk into the packhouse.

“What the f*uc*k is he doing,” Jace snarls beside me.

“Looks like he’s flirting with our Alpha,” I say, giving him a side-eye. It’s not like he has any right to act jealous.

“I don’t like it,” he growls.

“Then maybe you should spend the week in Uncle Seth’s pack with Taylor. I hear they have Jameson this week,” I say, turning and walking toward Eve. Jace needs to get his head out of his a*ss. You don’t f*uc*k with our cousin then act all possessive of your mate.

When I look at Eve, my aggravation falls away. I walk up to her, wrapping my arms around her waist.

“Are you always so protective of your sister?”

“Yes,” I tell her honestly.

“Do you intend to be that protective of me?” she asks, looking up at me through her long lashes.

“Yes, and before you ask, if you think this is protective, just wait until we have daughters,” I tell her.

That gets her attention and has her head snapping up to look me in the eye. “What?” she asks, surprised.
