I woke up in the morning feeling light kisses being placed in my neck, cheek and nose. My eyes fluttered open and where met by Jaxon's forest green ones. I smiled and he grinned back, kissing my lips.

"Morning" I mumbled lightly.

"Morning beautiful" he said back, smiling.

I stood up front he bed with Jaxon's grumbling at me to lie back down.

"I need to go shower" I said in a 'duh' tone. He flipped over on the bed and buried his face in the pillow while I went to shower.

As I stepped out I found that I forgot to take clothes with me, again. I peeked my head from the door, the now seemingly short towel wrapped around my body, my hand clasping its ends tightly.

"Jaxon" I whispered.

He turned his head to look at me "yeah?" He asked.

"Umm, could you, you know, ehh, getmesomeclothesplease" I blurted out embarrassed.

He chuckled lightly and went to the closet, coming out with clothes in his hand.

He came up to the door, and when I thought he's going to pass the clothes through the crack he yanked it open, making me jump in surprise.

"Jaxon!" I whisper yelled at him.

His eyes roamed my towel-covered body, his eyes turning black in a matter of seconds. He looked back up at me, his breathing becoming quick, as he stalked towards me.

He got my hands into his, making my towel fall. He started to kiss my neck, and as he neared my breasts-

'Knock' sounded for the door.

Jaxon groaned in frustration.

"Go see who it is" my voice trembling a little from what just happened. Although he already saw me naked and umm, pleasured, me, I still am quite shy and not very self-confident, resulting in every time something like that happening, me behaving as if it was he first.

"Shit!" I heard Jaxon yell, followed by the door slamming shut.

I quickly dressed I the clothes he brought me, not paying attention that the underwear included a lacy bra and thong.

"Jaxon, what is it?" I asked quietly.

"Shit, Hunter, I'm so so sorry. I thought he already left the matter, that he wouldn't come anywhere near my pack or me or my mate, but-but he returned" he said, frustration and anger clear in his voice, although his eyes expressed another emotion; fear and worry.

"Jaxon I don't understand, what is it?" I asked exasperated.

"My beta just saw him, h-he said that he left a note, saying that he didn't forget about me, that he's still after me and wants to make me suffer. He still wants to make my life a living hell" he muttered quickly, as if to himself.

I came up to him, sitting him on the bed, placing myself on his lap, knowing that it will calm him down. He immediately placed his and around my waist and buried his face in my neck, inhaling my scent.

"He said he wanted to take you away from me, making me suffer infinitely knowing that I don't have my mate and knowing what he is doing to you. H-He wants you." He said.

"Who, Jaxon?" I asked, my voice barely a whisper, my body beginning to shake a little by hearing the truth of what he said.

"He won't come near you, I promise. I will protect you with my life and if that's not enough and I fail, I will protect you as a ghost, as a spirit, hell, I'll protect with whatever I am and become. I will never let him take you or even touch you. I promise Hunter, he won't get you, I won't allow it" he said, his breathing becoming more tagged with each sentence.

"Jaxon, I know this is hard, I know it's breaking you inside. I'm scared, I really am, but please, tell me, who?" I asked again.

"The rogue leader that killed my parents. Nikolas."
