Chapter 14
I stared at him for two seconds and then I turned on my heels to leave. I had barely gotten out of the
office before I felt a hand wrap around my wrist and I was pulled back into the office. The door was
mmed shut and Jaxon was staring down at me with a raised brow. I swallowed down the knot in
my throat and stared up at him wondering how he managed to move that quickly.
“I want to leave,” I said and I saw him roll his eyes but he didn’t say anything else and instead led
me to the avable seat opposite his.
He walked around the table to take his seat and I had half a mind to get up and run again but I knew
he would catch me and I wouldn’t have put it past Jaxon to tie me to the chair if he wanted me to
stay so I forced myself to sit still and I ced my hands in myp.
“What is this about?” I asked once he was seated and his eyes lifted to mine. They were intense
and 1 felt like they were boring into my soul. It took all my willpower not to look away and admit
defeat.
As if he knew that I was struggling, I saw the corner of his l*ps quirk up and I hated the fact that my
body reacted to it and my core clenched around nothing. I knew if I wasn’t careful then he would
smell my arousal and things. would get moreplicated so I thought about every disgusting thing
on the surface of the hoping it would calm me down.
Once I had gotten my thoughts back on the right track, I leaned back into my chair, as far away from
him as ! could possibly get. I could feel his amusement but I ignored him and tried to avoid looking
at his face. Even though I couldn’t see him, I could almost imagine the smirk on his face as he
watched me and it annoyed me.
“What do you want?” I asked without looking at him. “I have other ces to be.”
“I’m sure you canst ten minutes without going back to your room.”
I looked up at him at those words and he cocked his head to the side as if daring me to say that I
had something. else to do other than going to my room. It grated on my nerves that he was right
and more so that he knew he was right. Instead of saying anything, I just rolled my eyes and
crossed my arms over my chest
“I don’t have time for this Jaxon,” I started to rise and he spoke in a voice so soft that fell shivers
climb up my spine.
“If you standup, I will tie you to that chair,” I froze instantly and raised a brow at him but he only
smiled cruelly in return. “Try it, I dare you.”

I knew he wasn’t bluffing so I huffed and sat back. “What do you want Jaxon? I’ve asked this three
times already and I know you didn’t call me here just so you could look at me.”
“Kiara,” he said simply and just like that, he had my attention.
As much as I didn’t want to be around Jaxon, I was willing to brave it if it was because of my
daughter. Gone was the yful air and I could see on his face that he was serious about the entire
thing. If he had started with her name, I never would have tried to leave.
“What’s wrong with Kiara?” I asked. “Did something happen that I don’t know.”
“She’s three,” he began. “When I was three, I started learning about the pack under nannies. It
won’t be like. school, it would just be her knowing the things she should about the monarchy and
about lycans. We are different from wolves in a lot of ways and she can shift as early as eight years
old. I shifted for the first time at
seven.”
My mouth fell open in shock. I thought I wouldn’t have to worry about shifting for the next ten years
but Jaxon was telling me that it could happen in four. It felt like a fever dream and I felt like if I
pinched myself I would wake up with a jerk. I searched his face for any hint of amusement and
hoping he was saying alf of that to make me stay but there was nothing but sincerity in his eyes.
“Why don’t we know this?” I asked. “Don’t you think this is something that should bemon
knowledge?”
“No, werewolves do not need to know about the way of the lycans. There is a reason the lycans rule
over the wolves and not the other way around.”
“That is the most condescending thing that I have ever heard.”
“It is fact,” he said dismissively as if he didn’t care to talk about it anymore. “I have contacted one of
the best nannies in the world and she will start with Kiara from tomorrow. She is likeable and I’m
sure that Kiara will end up loving her.”
It took a few seconds for his words to settle in my head and when they did, I got a little annoyed. He
had turned, away from me as if he was done speaking and I cleared my throat bringing his eyes
back to me.
“Is something wrong?”
“Of course something is wrong,” I said sitting up straighter. “You didn’t even ask my opinion on it.
You were informing me that you were getting a nanny for our daughter. That’s not how parenting
works, you don’t just make decisions without telling me.”

“You mean just like you hid my daughter’s presence from me.”

I raised a brow at his dismissive tone not understanding what was happening. A few minutes ago,
he was teasing and smiling and now he was being dismissive and rude. It was confusing and it felt
like I was going to have whish from his quickly he was changing his personalities. I wanted to
scream but I kept a neutral expression.
“I had a justifiable reason for keeping her from you,” I said simply. “You don’t have any reason right
now.”
“She’s my daughter and I am acting in her best interests. You know it is in her best interest because
you can’t teach her about lycans and I am too busy to do it.”
“That doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be informed,”
“Freya please,”
I hated the way he spoke like I was a child and I was being unreasonable. He was the one being
unreasonable and I wanted nothing more than to scream at the top of my lungs but I said nothing.
Instead, I stood to my feet and his eyes followed the movement. Through his window, I could see
that it was a full moon and the light from the moon was shining directly into his office.
“F*ck you,” I spat. “Here I thought you had actually changed but you really are the same dick that I
ran away from. I don’t give a shit if Kiara likes it here. If I see any signs that you are like this around
her, I am taking my daughter and I am leaving.”
I made sure to put a lot of emphasis on the word ‘my‘ and then I turned on my heels to leave. I
actually thought I had gotten away with it and he let me get to the door before his hand came to the
side of my head and held it closed. My breath caught in my throat when I heard the loud bang as his
hand came in contact with the door.
Even though I tried not to, I still jumped and I held my breath as I felt his hot breath fanning the back
of my neck. We both stayed silent but for vastly different reasons. I could feel him pressing into my
back and he was as hard as a rock. I couldn’t help but wonder how that was possible when we had
just argued.
As if he heard my unspoken question, I felt his l*ps graze my ear slightly. “You’re hot when you’re
angry.”
His teeth grazed my earlobe and it took all my self control not to moan out loud, I could feel my self
control slipping by the second and I knew that if I wasn’t careful then I would end up in his bed once
more and I wanted desperately to avoid that.
“I want to leave,” I forced the words out of my mouth and they tasted like lies.
?
I heard him chuckle. “It sounds like you’re trying to convince yourself. Why don’t you try again
Freya?”

“Jaxon,” my voice came out shakier than Woul Trave (NCU UI
to my neck and he sucked the skin into his mouth. “Jaxon please.”
I wasn’t sure if I was asking him to continue or let me leave. He chuckled once more against my
skin and then he took a step back. I felt cold and I wanted his presence back. I turned to him and he
lifted the corner of his l*ps then gestured to the door.
I nced at the door then back at him and for once I followed my head and I ran out as fast as I
could.
