SWNOVELS Chapter 31: Jaxon
“Anything?” Jaxon asked Mario after he had come out from Jain’s room.
Security had been tightened up in his parents’ house. He didn’t want to do through the same situation ever again. His sister was very afraid of what had happened and he hated seeing that kind of fear in her eyes. She was traumatized. She wasn’t going to recover anytime soon.
“We tracked the location of the facility,” Mario replied, showing the tracking on the tablet to him. “She has been there for nearly five hours now.”
“What’s in there?”
“An hospital,”
How original. That was a perfect cover to do a training facility for the hunters. It wouldn’t be suspicious to see people came in and got whether with bandaged or healthy.
Jaxon nodded, “Gather our Enforcers. Send scouts in.”
“Yes, Alpha,”
The Gamma left the place while Jaxon stood outside his sister’s room for a while, thinking as how he was going to make it into the facility. He had risked Zia’s life by sending her to her father. That wasn’t Jaxon’s intention. He was never going to return her to her family. He wanted to make her talked about everything but without evidence, Joshua Ashton and his men would get away again. Her words weren’t enough to lock her father away. Granted, the hunters could always build another training facility but ruining one down would make everyone else fidgeted in their seats. That was Jaxon’s plan. He wanted to ruin the famous Ashton’s family and their business as a message to other hunters that Jaxon and his people would always come after them sooner or later.
Jaxon grabbed her by the arms and slammed her back to the wall, “Don’t play dumb with me, Zia. Where did he take my sister?”
She winced at the pain, “I don’t know what you’re talking about!” she answered then it looked like she finally understood something. “Jain? He took Jain?”
The Alpha punched the wall behind her with his right fist as his eyes turned pitch black indicated his wolf was close to the surface.
While his right hand was embedded into the wall, his left hand was secretly reaching for something inside his pocket and put it into Zia’s pocket. She was too scared to realize anything right now.
That was how Jaxon got the tracking device into her pocket. He knew Joshua would condemn anyone who betrayed him to the facility. The Alpha had heard so much about the facility but could never find the actual location. Maybe right now, there was a chance for him to tear the place down.
“What are you going to do, son?” His father, Riley, came.
Jaxon rubbed his face and pulled away from the wall as he walked side-by-side with his father, “I’m thinking about it, dad.”
“I saw the way you were looking at her,”
The current Alpha tensed but he relaxed again, masking his emotion like he always did, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Son,” Riley squeezed his shoulder, “Sometimes fate put us through something we don’t expect. Maybe there is a reason why you were fated with her.”
“There’s nothing else to talk about, dad.” Jaxon excused himself as quickly.
He got into his truck and drove to the pack mansion where his Enforcers were already waiting for his instruction. He didn’t want to think about Zia as his mate anymore. He had said his rejection. It was up to her to accept it. His only focus was to dismantle the facility from its root. He turned to Mario who had just finished talking over the phone.
“Our scouts are making their way, Alpha.” The Gamma informed.
“Here’s your map,” Grover walked out of the pack mansion, joining everyone in the backyard.
“I wonder how you got it.” Jaxon asked the club owner.
He chuckled, “Alpha, trust me, you don’t want to know where I got the map you needed.”
“You knew about the place?”
“I worked with a famous huntress, Alpha. I know many things that you don’t.”
“Anything from Alpha Cohen?”
“The last thing I heard, he was on a mission to save some people with Liam, Brandon and Serpentine Pack. I couldn’t get in touch with them since then.”
“Jaxon!” his mother, Clara, ran out with a phone and scared expression, “Georgia just called. Cohen and his pack are under attack by something.”
Jaxon was torn between helping his ally or going in full force towards the training facility. The tracking wouldn’t last long before Joshua and his men found about it. They’d move again and got away again. That was something Jaxon didn’t want to happen. It was only one chance to end this once and for all. Several phones owned by his ranking members rang at once. They were talking something about the attack against Cohen’s pack. If everyone received the same phone call regarding the attack, that would mean something atrocious had happened and it was out of control. There was no attack the Southern Werewolves Pack couldn’t repel. Jaxon watched from one call receiver to another. Situation was getting harder. Should he go after Ashton or helped Cohen and his pack instead?
“Alpha Zachariah and Nathan are heading to Alpha Cohen’s territory to assist him. Sir Dalton is heading there too. They said it’s really out of control.” Mario told him.
“Mom, put the pack mansion into a lock down. No one comes in and out until we come back,” Jaxon instructed his mother who nodded and rang the emergency alarm.
He might missed the only chance he got to destroy Ashton but Jaxon couldn’t let his closest ally went down. Alpha Cohen was the main priority of all packs after what had happened to the previous Council. Without Mira and her endless pursue for the dark secrets of the previous Council, everyone would have been deceived until the end of their lives.
“We’re going to help Alpha Cohen and Luna Mira!” Jaxon instructed his Enforcers. “I want everyone to be very careful. From the phone calls earlier, it was clearly that neither Alpha Cohen nor Luna Mira knows what kind of threat they are facing right now. So, stay in group. Don’t stray away.”
“Yes, Alpha!”
