"What are you doing?!"
"I'm going after her." Unbuckling his pants he shrugs them off and begins jogging in the direction of the woods before running and shifting into his large black wolf.
"You've got to be fucking kidding me."
"Luna." I turn to find Marcus and Sam standing at the door. "You need to come inside Alpha's orders."
I scoff and roll my eyes. There was no way in hell I was going to sit inside and wait for my mate to return. This is my ex-bestfriend. She betrayed me in a way I can't even fathom. I need to confront her. I shimmy off my thigh high boots and grab Ajax's pants and his shirt.
"Luna." Marcus says in a warning tone.
"Octavia you need to get inside." Sam, says taking a step forward.
"Yeah, right."
I take off running in the same direction Ajax did and clutch onto the clothes tightly. I wasn't going to shift because, its like I said, I need to confront her. To speak to her face to face. I push myself to the limit and pull up my tight dress slightly to allow more movement. If I don't get there in time there's no telling what my mate will do. I dodge through the trees and try not to step on any fallen twigs or branches with my bare feet. It was hard to do so, with only the moonlight to guide me.
Once I finally arrive I find them circling each other. Ajax looked ready to pounce and rip out her throat. On the other hand she looked calm and collected.
"Shift." I growl angrily, tossing the shirt in her direction and the pants in Ajax's direction.
They both stop and look at me. Neither one make a move to do so and I become impatient as they stare at me with blank expressions. "Now!" I growl out even louder. My wolf pushes herself forward trying to take control. She was extremely angry with Siren and wanted nothing more than to tear her into tiny pieces.
They both move slowly towards the article of clothing, never taking their eyes off each other in a paranoid way. My eyes never leave Siren as her light colored wolf morphs into the girl who was once my best friend. She covers herself quickly with Ajax's shirt.
"Octavia, I came back for you." She gives me a small smile and takes a step towards me. Ajax growls and copies her actions, moving closer towards me.
"Save the lies, you back stabbing bitch." I roll my eyes and she feigns a look of confusion.
"What are you talking about? I escaped from-"
"She said save the fucking lies." Ajax's voice was loud and sharp as he crossed his arms over his broad chest. He looks so h-
Stop.
"Siren, Siren, Siren. You know desperate was never my type." He emerges from the tree behind her, his claws elongated as he digs into the tree bark. He's playing with his prey. But we aren't here to kill.
"You're just as sexy as I remembered. Although Ajax over there is giving you a run for your money. Have you seen his eyes?" She glances over at my mate and his jaw clenches with a roll of his eyes. "And I heard he likes to play rough. Isn't that right?" She sends an evil smirk in my direction.
My wolf pushes even harder trying to tear down the wall and take control. She was growing more and more jealous by the minute. She clearly didn't like the way Siren talked about our mate and neither did I.
"Awe look at you with your pretty white eyes. Fight for control baby, you wouldn't want to lose yourself and kill me. I've got two men on standby, ready to make a call if anything happens to me." Her smirk only grew and my anger was fueled to the breaking point.
Ajax stands in front of me and wills me to relax, his hands coming to my shoulders to steady them and help me with my irregular breathing. It hurt. My wolf keeps pushing and clawing at the wall in my head, slowly gaining control. She was furious with Siren. She wanted her head mounted on our bedroom wall for all eternity. He wraps me in a hug, his warm chest and scent surrounds me making me relax.
I push myself back and Ajax to the side.
"You better get off my fucking land, you stupid slut. If you try to cross the border one more time you'll be rip to shreds at the territory lines and who ever hesitates to kill you will be executed without questioning. You have two minutes to disappear before I kill you now."
"Wow, little Virgin Mary finally grew a spine. Jalex loves the strong feisty ones. He's going to have a blast with you."
