Chapter 40


    Hailey''s POV


    "Hailey, you don''t mean that..." Jaxon says to me and I chuckle at that.


    "I do actually. I am sick and tired of this love triangle I did not ask to be on and neither did Azuri. You


    have enjoyed this long enough and it is time you stopped pulling our strings. Just grow up and ept


    that it is now time to be with just one woman, just me and if you are not happy with that, well then, pray

    to the moon goddess to be more generous to you in your next life because I am telling you now, you


    are mine and mine alone. Now, get out of my room and go back to your pack, sort out all of your


    problems and the next time I see you, it will be our ceremony, where I will not tolerate any bullshit, from


    you or anyone else." I say and I walk out of my room before Jaxon, where Cayden joins me and we


    walk to the kitchen,


    "You hungry?" Cayden asks me and I shake my head no. My mind was still stuck on the threat I made


    to Jaxon just a few minutes ago. I felt the powering out of me as I said the words kill... the thought


    of having Azuri killed has never really crossed my mind in the sense of actually going through with it but


    there, I said it and I meant it.


    "Don''t steal any of my food then. I asked if you wanted food and you said no." Cayden says to me and I


    brush him off, still thinking of my encounter with Jaxon.


    He was jealous of the rtionship I have with Cayden, and I don''t me him. Cayden is good-looking,


    always by my side and mateless. He was the perfect guy to whisk me away and not have to prepare for


    the nightmare that is a boy I like finding his mate...


    Wait...


    Did I just say, a boy I like?


    Shaking my head of such a thought, my mind goes back to Jaxon and the argument we just had...


    Which I am sure Cayden heard all of it but here he was, acting all cool like he didn''t just get the world''s


    hottest tea. Why is he not as opinionated on it as the other things that gue my life?


    "Are you going to ask me why I told Jaxon to leave?" I ask Cayden, who was making himself a snack in


    the kitchen.


    "Nope." He says to me and I grow irritated.


    "Does it not bother you that I said I would have the other girl killed?" I ask and he shakes his head no.


    "Why not?" I ask him and he stops making his food to look at me.


    "I think you have every right to react the way you did. Besides, I am just your beta... I am to stand by


    you through it all and trust me, thest thing I want to find myself in is in the middle of love and war.


    Shit can get messy." He says to me and then moves to pick up his te, nodding his head at me before


    walking out of the kitchen. Somehow his response hurts my heart.


    He does not want to find himself in the middle of love and war... which means whatever it is that I am


    feeling, he is not feeling at all... right?


    My father walks in, huffing at the mess Cayden left on the counter before calling for one of the


    cleaners, I believe they are called the omegas and I don''t even want to get started on how they are


    treated in the pack, this pack or even Jaxon''s. I have so much to change when ites to a werewolf''s


    way of life and I can''t voice my distaste for everything just yet... I may not be allowed to be alpha if they


    know I n on changing every little thing about them.


    I havee to learn that werewolves are not used to change and with me still being so weak, and new


    to this game, they will not blindly ept my new rules. I have to figure out a way to win their hearts but


    once I have the women in my corner, everything else will be smooth sailing.


    I clean up Cayden''s mess just before my dad arrives with one of the young omegas. They look at me


    dumbfoundedly, a worried look appears on the little girl''s face after seeing that I have done her job and


    she runs to take the cloth I was using to wipe the counter from me.


    "Hailey..." My father says to me.


    "Look, I was human before I knew about all of this, and as much as I am trying toe to terms with


    my new way of life, some things are just habits," I say and walk out of the kitchen before my father


    could lecture me on forgetting about my past life.


    I make it to the lounge where I thought Cayden would be sitting because he likes to watch his sports


    and I find him there, with the TV off and our two special guests from the pack I am fated to join.


    "I think we should all talk," Jaxon speaks, looking at me first and then his eyes moving away from me,


    to Cayden and finally resting on Azuri.
