I still hadn’t gotten used to that title being with Jack
It was so weird. I hid a grimace.
—Camilla was always offered, an easy wolf—he started watching the
scene, I raised an eyebrow. —She has already gone through the bed of all
wolves. That was none of my business, Camilla was a free wolf to
involve as many wolves as he wanted, but not Jack. That cretin didn’t
I might want my partner.
—You left me because of that wild trouble? —I took the
teeth to hear her refer to me. —Jack, don’t you see I’d be a
perfect companion? I would be completely submissive to you, my Alpha.
I twisted my nose, feeling like throwing up with that pathetic scene,
hated female rivalry over males, was so high ridiculous. The
world was already too unfair for us females, we should unite and not
create enmities because of males.
Jack grabbed his arm, his eyes glowing and furious red.
—Watch your words, wolf, respect your Alpha and don’t dare make it
lower than you, because this is something that will never happen. Hayley is
my fated, my partner and if I insult her again, I’ll rip
your tongue as punishment.
Camilla looked like she had been hit with a slap in the face, stretched out the
back, outraged. My gaze fell on Nick beside me, the beat of
music that was playing was melancholy, I sighed.
You want to dance? The wolf asked me, suddenly.
I raised an eyebrow.
—How?
He opened a wide smile and extended his hand towards me.
—A dance, that’s all I ask. Will you grant me that honor?
I didn’t risk looking at Jackson holding Nick’s hand.
—Why don’t you do that?
He took me to the track and kept a respectful distance to me
hold, and guide me calmly, kept me attentive not to step on
your feet or stumble and end up causing a scene in the middle of everyone.
I felt Jackson’s gaze thrust into both of us like a blade in
my skin, now he would know how I felt with the approach of
Camilla.
—May the moon protect me from the glare of the Alpha—Nick broke the
silence and I let out a low laugh, denying with my head.
—No need to worry about Jackson—guaranteed the wolf.
Nick snapped his tongue.
—You know, I understand the Alpha.
—Really? —I asked after he turned me on the track, soon pulling me
again.
—I would also be jealous to have another male dancing with my
partner. Especially her being a lovely female.
Nick was a handsome male, taller than me. The dark hair, and
bright black eyes like onyx. He was polite and kind, knew
respect my space, just your unusual praise. But right in the
deep in my being, I’d like to be in Jackson’s warm arms,
being squeezed by him.
—I believe that trust in a relationship is fundamental—I replied
cautious. —The Alpha is lucky to have you by his side.
I realized the exact moment that Jack lost control with the praise of
Nick, I felt him coming and his hand touched my waist with
beware, turned my head and came across red eyes
flames that I loved so much.
I think it’s my turn—I told Nick, the voice cold and restrained.
—Alpha—he bowed his head. —He was telling his partner that she is
charming—smiled with her lips closed.
—Yes, my partner is charming—looked at me, jaw cracked.
Just smile for Nick.
Nice to meet you.
He held my hand and kissed it. Jack bent beside me, the body
rigid with Nick’s boldness.
It was my pleasure.
Nick pulled away, and I turned to Jack, wrapping my arms around
her neck with a provocative smile on her lips.
Are you done with your friend, honey?
Jack let out a deep breath, fingers squeezed the flesh of
my waist and I arched. He leaned our foreheads.
That was not cool.
I snapped my tongue, sinking my fingers into her hair.
Are you jealous, Supreme?
Jack rolled his eyes furiously, but did not deny it. And even if
tried, I wouldn’t believe, not to see that predatory look on him.
Jack was a dominant male, knew how the males were
possessive of their females and wondered how much it cost Jack
keep control. I myself almost flew into Camilla’s neck for her
daring, maybe he wasn’t the only one with control issues.
—It’s not nice to see another male complimenting his partner so
brazenly—he grunted, his jaw cracked.
Smile lightly as I tilt my head in your face and rub mine
lips on her cheek, bit her skin.
—And it’s no fun to see a horny wolf volunteering for your
companion—returned in the same tone.
Were you jealous, little wolf?
I held her face towards me and stared at those intense eyes.
—If Camilla dares to approach you again, I’ll tear the
Her throat with my claws.
Jackson’s smile was purely feline and wild, a shiver
ran down my spine.
I love your savagery, my love.
A stirring song with a sensual beat began to play. Me
I walked away from Jack and dodged when he tried to pull me again.
I approached Ayla and the dancing females and closed my eyes,
Standing back to the Supreme and swinging my body slowly
rhythm of the music. I turned my mind off and just focused on moving my hip in a sensual and provocative way, knowing that
Jackson was watching me dance.
I took a few glasses of whiskey that was served and turned them into mine
mouth, alcohol began to rise to the head, but it was not enough to
get drunk.
I danced to the full song, rocked and redressed my hip slowly,
touched my hair and threw them to the side, smiling discreetly at
turn me quickly and see Jack leaning on a tree, eyes
predatory fixed on me.
The Alpha’s gaze was so intense I could almost feel him caress my
body. The sensual dominance of the Supreme reached me and I gasped, my
skin warmed up and I bit my lower lip as I turned my back to
him, letting his eyes burn on my back.
I danced one more full song, but the track began to fill
unknown wolves. And though I struggled to stay in the middle
of so many people, breathing became complicated. I turned away from the
crowd and headed to another more deserted area of the forest, walked up
a small pond and took a deep breath, absorbing the fresh air of the night. The
stars and the crescent moon shone brightly in the dark sky.
—You look happy—I heard Clary’s voice ring behind me. I watched
fox walking towards me, with his heels in his hands. —They
They were killing me—whimpered.
—The night is incredible, Clary. One of the best of all my
life.
Kitsune stood beside me, watching the starry sky over our
heads.
—The Supreme did a good job—she declared. —He overcame this
time.
I know you don’t like Jack,
but helped him by me—I looked at her. —Thank you—I whispered emotionally.
Clary’s blue eyes shone, she smiled as she nodded.
—You deserve to be happy, Hayley. And Jackson seems to feel something real
for your sake.
I bit my lower lip, my pulse accelerated and I took a deep breath,
trying to control it. Everything about Jack was changing and not
was being able to fight the powerful feeling that grew
inside me.
And to be honest, I didn’t want to fight what I felt for Jack anymore. The
life was short and fleeting, so I’d enjoy mine till my
last breath. I would no longer fight my own happiness.
A movement in the clearing caught my attention, I lifted my face.
—Finally came the best part—said excited. —Come, that was idea
my—held my arm and came out pulling me back into the clearing.
When we arrived, I realized that everyone was with a kind of balloon
in hands. I found Jackson among all and when our looks
if they met, he smiled and raised his hand to me.
The world ceased to matter around us at that moment
There was only Jack and me. And the bond that hung between us, the intense bond that held us together. I opened my lips, and started walking towards him.
The wolves have made way for me, your future Alpha walk to his
partner. I didn’t hesitate to hold your hand, my skin shivered
when he pulled me closer, his warmth enveloped me.
—What is this? —I asked pointing to the balloon in his hand. Jackson
light a piece of cotton.
—It’s better known as a flashlight.
— And how does it work?
Hold on a second.
When everyone was ready with the flashlights, Jack held the
our and lifted it up. I held the other end of the flashlight and the
released, together. And when our flashlight was already in the air, the others
were released by the wolves and a breathtaking landscape appeared before
of my eyes.
The sky was completely illuminated by the bright lanterns. Jack
hugged my waist and I held my hands on his chest, his
eyes shone, bathed in the light of the lanterns. He smiled at me and
I reciprocated.
No, I wouldn’t fight my feelings for Jack. Much less the
away. I wanted him, I wanted Jack completely and nothing would separate us.
