The Rogue Alpha and the Werewolf King (by Hailey Kristine) novel Chapter 74

Chapter 74

Evangelina’s POV

I sleep for the next few hours and wake up feeling slightly better. I know that Veena is working over time to heal my wounds. When I open my eyes I see a figure standing over me, staring at me. It takes my eyes some time to adjust, but I realize that it’s Jaxon and his heated gaze catches me off guard as I move to sit up, he helps me when I struggle.

After situated he stands back, eyes on me and an emotion I cannot comprehend is on his face.

“He is your mate isn’t he?” Jaxon asks and I look at him in confusion.

“What?” I ask, my voice coming out coarse.

“Warrick is your mate.” He states, and my eyes widen in surprise.

“Um.. I. I don’t know what you are wanting me to say.” I say and he shakes his head and sits at the side of my

bed.

“I don’t want anything. I figured it out when he had phantom pains in the same area you were injured. Then it all came together.” He explains.

“Oookay?” I ask in confusion. “Wait he could feel the pain?” I ask when I process what he just said.

“Yeah. I don’t understand it either. Normally you can only feel the pain your mate is in after you are mated a

marked.” He says.

“Right.” I say, not knowing what else to say. We sit there in a weird silence, until he breaks it.

“Why haven’t you rejected him?” He asks.

“I can’t.” I say lowly and look away from his intense gaze.

“Of course you can, it’s easy. The pain from breaking the bond can’t be as worse as the pain he is causing you.” He says, getting angry.

“You don’t understand Jax. I have seen what happens if we formally reject the bond. I can’t do it. After the war we won’t have to worry about it.” I answer and he looks at me in question.

“So it has to do with the war? You can’t reject him because then we will lose the war. That’s it isn’t it?” He asks and I nod my head. He hangs his head in defeat. “But he is hurting you.”

“I can handle a little pain, if that means our people will be safe.” I answer and he shakes his head.

“You shouldn’t have to.” He answers.

“Oh, but I do. I have accepted that and so should you.” I say as gently as possible.

“He doesn’t deserve you.” He says as he grabs my hand and looks me in the eye, his orange showing raw

emotion.

“After the war, you complete the rejection and become my chosen mate. I will treat you the way you should be treated. I will do whatever you want, just give me a chance.” He almost pleads. I withdraw my hand and

harden my

face.

“Jaxon, we have talked about this. You are a great friend, but that’s it.” I say and he shakes his head.

“I can’t fight it anymore. My feelings for you are too strong. You calm me, the pull I feel to you is unlike

anything I have ever felt. Just give me a chance.” He begs and I shake my head and scoot further up the bed to gain some distance from him.

“Jaxon no. What you are feeling is probably the true Luna pull. Please don’t confuse the feelings,” I say.

“How is it so hard to believe that you were made for me? You are perfect in every way. I know you feel the pull. Just let this happen.” He says reaching for me, but I swat him away.

“Jaxon, I am NOT your mate. I was NOT made for you. You need to leave and try to remember that you DO have somebody out there who the Moon Goddess has truly made for you.” I try to reason, while being stern.

“But..” He starts.

“Leave.” I order sternly, cutting him off. He looks down and leaves without another word. Once the door shuts I let out a large breath.

“What the hell was that?” I ask Veena, I can feel her confusion at the situation.
