Chapter 8

**Lana**

I would be lying if I said I didn't feel an attraction towards Jaxson. He’s sexy as hell, and having a son made him even hotter. It made it hard to resist him. Ever since I'd met him for the first time, he'd always been on my mind. I'd always wondered why, and now I know. He told me we were mates then went to dinner with his parents. I didn't want to believe him, but then his father dropped the bomb on me. His father looked at me, taking a bite of his food.
“Lana let’s talk about your powers and try to find out why they’re just now surfacing. You should have gotten them the first time you shifted into your wolf.”
After I took Jaxson’s blood, I felt this fire inside of me that I couldn’t control. I never even knew I had wrapped my legs around his waist, or crashed our lips together. I tried to take control and pull away, but it was like I was being pulled to him. It had to be the mate bond Jaxson keeps talking about.
If his parents hadn’t got our attention, he would have taken me against the wall. Everything started happening so fast I barely was able to comprehend. Jaxson says we're mates, and his father says I'm half-wolf and half-witch. Is this what the woman in my dreams meant by it would all be explained to me? I can feel Jaxson’s hand on my thigh making its way up higher. I try to stop him, but he's always stronger than me. Well, he is an Alpha my wolf purrs to me.
“Jaxson, you'll have time to do that when you go home.” His father hissed.
His father seemed to be a powerful man and it showed when Jaxson removed his hand from my thigh. I just want to go back to Jaxson’s house and be done with this night.
“Lana Delecruz, that's your full name right?” His father asked me as I continued to poke at my dinner.
It was my name, but who was I? Maybe Lorenzo lied to me about my name. He lied about everything else, so why not this.
“I-I don't know about my last name, but my first name is Lana.” I stutter feeling nervous as he burned a hole in my head. His wife put a hand on his shoulder, and his stern face softened at her touch. I didn't dare look at Jaxson, because I knew the only emotion he was feeling was lust right now. I could hear his thoughts now, and let's just say he doesn't filter them.
“Okay. Sweetie, why don't you come with me while the men talk?” His mother tells me.
Jaxson grips my thigh once again and nuzzles his face in my neck inhaling my scent. He makes his way to my lips, kissing me dominantly making his claim known to my wolf. As his mother and I make our way to the next room, I can hear Jaxson in my head. He's telling me how he wished he could take me to the bathroom, and fuck me bent over the counter.
My face instantly heats up, and his mother seems to notice but doesn't comment on it. “Please, call me Giselle. You’re family now.” She insists.
“Are the men always this controlling of their mates in this pack?” I ask her as she sits down next to me. I hate knowing how bad Lorenzo damaged my trust for men. He always told me that I was his mate, and wanted to force me to submit to him.
Did he know I was a part witch?
Is that what he wanted from me?
“All men are possessive sweetie, but the Alpha men are much more powerful. Their wolves are very protective over mates. I know mine is. I know you've had a rough past, but you can trust Jaxson. I've never heard him talk about a woman so much. Not since her.” She said sadly smiling at me.
I knew what she meant by her. Gabriel’s mother. Jaxson never talked about her, but I knew he was in pain from losing her. I know I would be.
“I’m not looking to replace her. After all, I'm just taking care of him.” I try to say, but she shakes her head at me smiling. I would never dream of replacing his dead wife. It would just hurt Gabriel later on. I care about that baby more than anything.
“Sweetie, the minute you became mates with my son, you became so much more than that. The minute he staked his claim, you became his Luna. Our Luna. The pack has waited so long for this moment to happen, and now it has we’ll be much stronger. An Alpha makes us strong, but an Alpha and a Luna together makes us stronger.” She says as Jaxson and his father walk in.
Jaxson comes up behind me, and places his hands on my shoulders letting me know it's time to go. I look back at him, and his facial expression is dark with sexual desire. His parents can feel the tension between him and I, but don't say anything. They just let us walk away. Before we walk away, his father speaks up. “I’ll make some calls to my witch, and see if she knows anything. I'll let you know what I find out.”
Jaxson is quiet the whole way home.
Is he mad at me?
Did I do something wrong for him to act this way to me?
He's so confusing. One minute he's hot, and the next he's so cold. If that's how you want to play, then I'll play your game, Alpha. I will not submit to you so easily. Maybe I'm just not good enough for him.
“Stop thinking like that, Lana. It’s not like that.” He says calmly to me. I forgot now he can hear my thoughts. He had me so hot earlier, and now he doesn't want to even touch me.
Maybe I'll just go upstairs, and finish myself off.
Do you hear that thought, Jaxson?
I hope you hear me moan when I finger my pussy.
“I’m warning you, Lana.” He hisses through gritted teeth. His knuckles grip the steering wheel tight. I know I'm provoking him, and right now, I don't care if he's getting angry. I’m sick of men trying to control me.
You hear that, you don't fucking own me.
He slams on the brake as he's pulling up to his house. I get out of the car and try to run to the house, but he pushes me back to the side of the truck. His eyes flicker from his normal ones to his red ones back and forth. He’s fighting his wolf hard, and to say it didn't turn me on would be a lie. His face dips down to my neck inhaling deep, and I feel him scraping his canines on me. He's fighting his wolf on whether or not to claim me officially. I try to push him back, but it only makes his wolf angrier.
“Stop it Jaxson, the whole pack is watching!” I growl at him while the pack watches the scene unfold before their very eyes.
“I don’t care! You're mine now, baby.” He hisses with his red eyes glowing brightly in the dark. His teeth are still scraping my neck, and he yanks me by the hair making my head fall to the side. His teeth tear into my skin, making me scream out in pain. He presses his hand to my mouth trying to muffle my screams. His wolf is in complete control, and not letting me go anytime soon.
My pain suddenly goes away, and then all I feel is pleasure throughout my body. I find my hands finding the back of his neck and moaning his name. It only makes his skin feel hotter against mine. He retracts his teeth from my neck and finally comes back to me. No canines or red eyes. He must have realized what he'd done because he steps away with a fearful look. “Lana...what happened?”
Anger courses throughout my veins when I hear him say that. I can feel my eyes changing and my wolf taking over now. He looks at me in fear for once. He should be scared. He marked me only because he was angry. My claws swipe at his side, knocking him down with so much force.
“You asshole! You marked me! You fucking marked me!” I growl, lunging at him.
“Lana, your eyes aren’t yellow anymore.” He tries to say, but I'm not listening to what he's saying. Now it's my turn to let my wolf take over. He flips us over, reversing our position. I can feel his erection poking into me, and making me instantly turned on all of a sudden. My canines have elongated and my eyes are whatever color he said they were. My teeth find his neck, and I sink them in just as he did to me.
You mark me and I'll mark you, jerk.
It's only fair.
His moans in my ear are just making me want him even more right now. I rip open his shirt and run my hands down his muscled chest at the same time I release my teeth from his neck. Our lips find each other and it's so intense we don't even realize we still have a small audience. Cole and Natalia stand there not knowing what to do. It doesn't matter who's watching right now. We have no control over ourselves and feel nothing but one thing our bodies crave. Lust.
He wraps my legs around his waist as I fumble with his pants as I beg him. “Take me! Right here…right now.”
I moan in his mouth as our tongues meet in mine. He pushes up my dress to my waist and rips my panties off, thrusting himself deep inside me. I'm pretty sure our audience has left. I'm pretty sure Natalia doesn't want to watch her brother, and best friend have sex. I know I wouldn't want to see that.
“Yes, right there Jaxson!” I scream out digging my nails into his back. He thrusts even harder. His grunts and my moans are the only things that can be heard throughout the entire pack right now; I just hope nobody is out here taking a run, and discovers what we're doing. “Please! Harder, Alpha Jaxson!”
This seems to do something to him; because his thrust becomes much more forceful, and faster making it much more intense. I feel my walls tighten up around him making him growl out in pleasure.
“Lana! I’m-I’m…yeah, baby, you’re on fire.” He says, as I feel him twitch making my walls tighten up even more when he thrust one final time.
His body collapses against mine as our foreheads touch, and he pecks me on the lips. Both of us are out of breath with our chests heaving up and down. "God Lana, that was amazing." He says out of breath. We both straighten our clothes and I see him pick up my panties and put them in his pocket. I cock my head to the side as to why he would need them in his pocket.
“What? It has my mates scent on them. You think I’d leave them out here? Too many unmated men in this pack.”
I find myself getting tired, but before I go to my room I'll check on Gabriel. I walk in his room and spot Jaxson laying with his son. The sight warms my heart. He looks just like Jaxson. One thing I know for sure, he's going to be a little heartbreaker. I walk up to kiss Gabriel goodnight when a hand grabs my wrist.
“Please, stay with me. I only sleep well when you are in my bed.” I put Gabriel in his bed and climbed into bed with Jaxson. An arm wraps around my waist as my eyes start to close. That night, no nightmares came.
