I woke up to someone pulling me closer. I opened my eyes to see I was in a different room than my own, and turned my head to see Jaxon asleep.
I looked around the room to see it was black and red. The walls were all red and the furniture was all black.
âMorning cherryâ I heard Jaxon say in a husky voice.
âOh. Morning. What happened yesterday?â I asked sitting up in bed and he laid his head on my stomach.
âErm..â I mumbled and he shook his head
âYou fainted. I think you concentrated to hardâ he said looking up at me with those big blue eyes.
Oh god Jaxon I thought sighing.
âYeah. I think I didâ I mumbled and he nodded and laid back down.
âWhat did you see yesterday?â He asked and I ran a hand threw his hair.
âKyle getting rejected. And then us siting downâ I said and he nodded
âWhat about the future?â He mumbled
âKyle getting married to another girl? It was kind of confusingâ I muttered and he nodded
âCherry. I was think we could go out today. Concentrate on us and not on all this work?â He said and I nodded
âYeah. Where are we going to go?â I asked
âI donât know. Where do you want to go?â He asked and I shrugged still running a hand threw his soft hair.
âMaybe we could go get some food? Or go to the park?â I said and he nodded
âWe could do bothâ he said sitting up and I nodded.
âIâll get ready. When are we going? And whereâs my bag?â I asked and he pointed to the closet.
âI put them in there yesterday. And how about in 1 hour?â He asked and I nodded
âYep. Now you leave and Iâll get readyâ I said and he smirked
âHow about we both get ready together. Save some waterâ he mumbled leaning closer to me
âNo Jaxon. Stop. Iâm very ticklishâ I said trying to push him away.
He grabbed both of my hands and but them over my head.
âWe will see how ticklish you really areâ Jaxon mumbled and leaned closer to my neck. He started trailing kisses down my neck.
âYou have to use your hands. But stopâ I said trying my best to laugh as he put his hands under my shirt.
Cold
âJaxon. Thatâs cold.â I mumbled as he stopped and looked at me.
âDo you want me to stop?â He asked with those soft blue eyes.
âI-I. Noâ I mumbled and he crashed his lips on mine. I wrapped my hands around his neck and pulled him closer. He nibbled on my lip a little asking for entrance and I denied it. He turned us around and I broke the kiss.
âHeyâ I mumbled smirking and leaned down to his neck, and started trailing kisses.
âCan I mark you cherry?â He blurted out and I froze.
I looked down at him and sat on his lower body.
âNo Jaxon. Iâm not readyâ I said and he nodded
âYou get ready. And then weâll go. Okay?â He said and I nodded and got off him.
âBye byeâ I said pushing him out of the room.
I had a shower and got dressed in a black skirt with a grey off the shoulder top.
I left my hair open and wore my black wedges, then walked out the room to run into Aoife.
âOh heyâ I said and she smiled
âHey beth. I just came to say bye, because Iâm going pack to my own house with my mateâ she said and I nodded
âWhich pack is your mate from?â I asked walking downstairs with her.
âThe Blue moon packâ she said and I nodded
âJaxon is waiting for you in the kitchen.â She said and I nodded.
I hugged her and said bye as she walked out the house with another guy. Who I am guessing is her mate.
âCherry are you ready?â Jaxon asked behind me and I turned around and nodded
âYepâ I said and he nodded
âLetâs go thenâ he said intertwining our hands together and I nodded.
Thank you beth. For giving a chance to Jaxon. Axel is really happy lexi said and I smiled slightly.
I didnât do it all for you lexi. Iâm happy I gave Jaxon a chance as well. He hasnât been bad to me at all. I replied and she nodded.
âCherry. Weâre hereâ Jaxon said pulling me inside the ice cream shop.
âOhâ I said as we walked to the counter.
âGood morning alpha. What would you like?â The girl behind the counter asked battling her eyelashes.
âWhat would you like cherry?â Jaxon asked smiling down at me.
â2 scoops of vanilla ice cream, with strawberry sauce and sprinkles. Oh and some water, for your eyes. I think you got a little dust in thereâ I said and she rolled her eyes and turned to Jaxon.
âAnd what can I get you, Alpha?â She asked and I wanted to kill her.
â1 scoop of vanilla ice cream, 1 scoop of chocolate and 1 scoop of strawberry. With chocolate sauce and lots of sprinklesâ Jaxon said and the girl nodded.
âYes alpha. Iâll get it to you right awayâ she said and went through a door.
âWhatâs wrong cherry?â Jaxon asked and I moved my eyes from her and looked up at him.
âNothingâ I mumbled and he rolled his eyes.
âCherry...â he warned smirking
âShe was so flirting with youâ I said and he chuckled
âItâs not funny Jaxonâ I mumbled turning around from him and everyone in the shop looked at us.
âCherry. She asked for what I want. How is that flirting? Are you jealous?â He asked turning me around and I crossed my arms, looking at the floor.
âI wasnât jealous. I donât get jealousâ I mumbled and he got down on his knees and looked at me.
âI am not marrying youâ I blurted out and he chuckled
âWhat! Are you ever going to marry me? I just got down on my knees because you werenât looking at me. I can see you beautiful face nowâ he replied and everyone awwed around us.
âYour ice creams?â The girl said and Jaxon looked at her.
âWere you flirting with me?â He asked standing up and taking the ice cream from her.
âN-No Alphaâ she stuttered
âdo not flirt with me, ever again. I belong to Cherry. Right Cherry?â Jaxon asked turning to me and smirking
âHm.â I said taking my ice cream cone off him.
âHere you go. Thank youâ Jaxon said paying her and we walked out the shop.
âWe never talk about that okayâ I mumbled licking my ice cream.
âWhy? Because you were jealous?â He said and I rolled my eyes and looked at him.
âWhat! I wasnât jealous. I donât get jealousâ I said and he smiled
âYou have a little- thereâ he touched my cheek and then licked his finger.
âJaxon...â I rolled my eyes.
âYes cherry?â He asked innocently
âI want to get to know you. I donât know a lot about youâ I said and he nodded as we reached a small park.
âWhat do you want to know about me?â He asked and I shrugged
âTell me, something, something you havenât told anyoneâ I said as we walked around the swings.
âWhat do I tell-â
âWhy do you have to take injection to calm down?â I blurted out and he stopped walking.
I turned around and looked at him, we were only about 10 steps away from each other.
âI have a problem calming downâ he mumbled throwing his ice cream in the bin.
âAnd that problems is?â I asked hoping he would share it with me.
âCherry..â
âPlease Jaxon. I have told you everything. And Iâm not hiding anything from you. Please tell me Jaxonâ I pleaded and he sighed and walked closer to me.
âYouâll think Iâm a monster, cherry. And I donât want thatâ he said begging me with his eyes to forgot about it.
âIf itâs because what I said about the other day, I didnât really mean it Jaxon. You were just scaring meâ I said as he held both of my hands.
âI donât want you to be scared of meâ he mumbled and I sighed.
âYou have to tell me, so I canât be scared. You getting angry is really scary Jaxon. What if you get angry at me, and you lash out at me. What if you hurt m-â he cut me off by covering my mouth.
âCherry donât. Iâll tell you! But I will never hurt youâ he said and I nodded
âLetâs go back to the pack house and Iâll tell you thereâ he said moving his hand and I nodded.
âYou promise to tell me everything?â I asked and he sighed and nodded.
âYou promise to not hate me?â He asked and I nodded
âI will never hate you jaxonâ I said and he nodded
We walked back to pack house, and when we got there we went to Jaxonâs room again.
âYou can Sit down cherryâ he said closing the door behind him.
I sat down on the bed and Jaxon sighed, running a hand threw his hair.
âPlease donât hate me cherry.â He mumbled and I nodded
âI wonât Jaxon. Just tell meâ I said and he nodded and kneeled down infront of me and held my hand
âMy mom was a werewolf. And my dad was a vampire. You already know about the war and all. They were mates. By the moon goddess. They had Aoife, but she wasnât a hybrid. She got my momâs gene. And me, when I was born I had both of the genes. Iâm a hybrid cherryâ he said and I was speechless
âMy mom and dad died together in a attack protecting this pack. After that kyleâs dad, Luke, he took control of the pack until I was 16. I was only 11 when my parents died. At that time is with hard for me, because I was alone and constantly had two people arguing in my mind. If I didnât get them under control I would have been dead. I chose to be a werewolf instead of a vampire. But I am still both. This whole pack knows that I am a hybrid. For food, people mix blood into it for me. Itâs how I am cherry.â He said and I pushed him away.
âI-I canât believe you Jaxon. You kept such a big thing from me. And you lied as well. You lied so many times. You lied to my dad as well. He asked everyone at that party if there was a hybrid among us but you- you, ignored it. And me? Jaxon I am your mateâ I shouted standing up
âCherry pleas-â
âNo Jaxon. No! I told you everything. Literally every secret there is to know about me. I told you about Jake before I told my own parents. How could you Jaxon? I trusted you. You knew I was looking for the hybrid, and all this time you were right infront of me.â I yelled as he stood up
âCherry. I couldnât tell yo-â
âWhy? Is there another secret your hiding from me? Is there something else. Because I swear to the moon goddess, Jaxon that this is the best time to tell meâ I said and he shook his head and walked closer to me
âNothing else. I promise. You promised that you wouldnât hate me cherry?â He pleaded trying to hold my hand but I moved away.
âI donât hate you Jaxon. Iâm disappointed and hurt. I thought I was your mate. Is this how Mates are?â I asked softly, tears in my eyes
âCherry. Iâm really sorry. Please donât cry! I didnât tell you because I was scared. I was scared that you would hate me. I was scared that you would leave me. I was scared cherry. I waited for years and years. I watched everyone become happy with their mates. And me? I was left behind cherry. By everyone. My parents, Aoife she had to move away. I had no one left. And when I found out that youâre my mate? I was happy. And I didnât want anything to spoil it. I tried cherry. I tried my best to keep it a secret. I told everyone in my pack not to tell you. I was scared you would leave me when you find out that Iâm a monsterâ he shouted tears rolling down his face.
âJaxon..â
âNo cherry. I want to say it all. I missed you every day when you were at your own house. It was hard. I could hardly sleep. And itâs even harder for me because I have people arguing my head. I love you so much cherry. I loved you since the day I set eyes on you. And I know itâs because of the mate bond. But I do and know that I would love you even if there was no bond between us. I love you so much, cherry that it hurts. It hurts so much that I feel like killing myself. It hurts so much-â I cut him off by walking closer to to him and kissed his lips.
âI love you too Jaxonâ I mumbled and he hugged me tightly.
âAnd it doesnât look good if you cry. Your an Alpha remember?â I mumbled into his shoulder as he sighed.
âI would cry for you cherry. I would die for youâ he mumbled and I slapped him on his head.
âYour not dying on meâ I muttered and he nodded and held me tightly.
âIâm sorry cherry. Iâm sorry for not telling you. Iâm sorry for everythingâ he said and I nodded
âApology accepted. Now shushâ I replied sighing.
Jaxon hugged me for 10 minutes and then let me go.
âCherry?â He said leaning his forehead down on mine.
âHmmâ I mumbled
âCan I mark you?â He asked and I sighed.
âYou promise that there isnât anything else that your hiding from me?â I asked looking up at him and he nodded slowly.
âI promiseâ he said and I nodded
âYou can mark me thenâ I said smirking and he threw me on the bed with a bounce
âOof. Jaxonâ I muttered as he leaned over me and started kissing my neck. I closed my eyes and he sucked on my sweet spot.
âYou ready cherry?â He asked looking at me and his fangs were out as well.
âJaxon...youâre fa-â
âI know cherry. This is who I am. Do you accept me like this?â He asked and I nodded
âOf course Jaxonâ I mumbled and he smiled.
He leaned back down towards my neck and I felt teeth sinking into my neck.
âUghâ I moaned in pain. He kissed it softly and looked at me.
âYour going to feel sleepy cherry. I love youâ he said smiling at me slightly
âI love you tooâ I muttered and closed my eyes.
