SWNOVELS Chapter 75
Chapter 75
I waited all day for Jaxon to return. I baked and spent time with Kiara and Kieran to keep bavy but my mind was permanently on Jaxon. I tried to mind link and call him a number of times but his wall was up and his phone was unreachable I started to worry after the sun began to set. Aiden was also nowhere to be seen so I couldn't ask him anythi
Kiara asked for her dad a number of times but I had to tell her that he was out. I thought of all the worst case sottrarios. É wondered if he was dead or if he was hurt. I sat up in our bed once I had put the children to sleep and I waited for him but he never walked through the doors. I fell asleep in that position and the next time I woke up, it was to cursing-
"Why did you sleep like this?" Jaxon asked as he lifted me into his arms I risked a glance at the clock on the wall and saw that it was a little over 5 am.

"I was waiting for you. I kept my voice soft and I saw him flinch as if hurt by them. He placed me back on the bed in a lying position. "Where did you go last night? I couldn't reach you I was worried"
"I was trying to figure things out I am sorry I made you wait, Freya. I wanted to get back to you but I was busy and I forgot Don't wait up for me like this again"
"How do you expect me not to? You were gone without as much as an inclination to where you were going. Anything could have happened to you, I looked mer him properly and I noticed that there were wet spots on his shirt. I reached out and my hands c*me **ck bloody. "Oh my, are you hurt! What happened to you?"
I was about to go in full panic mode when he took a step back from me. I reached over to my side and turned on the lamp on the bedside table. The blood wasnt just splattered on his shirt but also on parts of his face. I knew that none of it was his own but that didn't stop me from being worried about him.
I rushed out of bed despite his protests and pulled hum towards the bathroom by his arm. He let out a sigh but allowed me do as I wanted. Once we were under the harsh light of the bathroom, I could tell just how bloody he was and I felt bad for whoever it was that he was in a battle with I dragged him under the shower and slowly stripped him of his clothes
"if you wanted to see me naked then all you had
"What happened Jaxon I want the truth this time."
ask" he teased and I shot him a dark look. "It's too soon. I get it."
I turned on the shower and began to lather the wash cloth. He tried to take it from me but I stopped him with a hard glare and he finally relented.
"I went to Noxian's pack to search his belongings and tind out if there is anything I could find out about his partner in the palace. I went with Aiden and unfortunately we didn't find anything but some of his loyal soldiers were not too happy to learn that he was dead. They attacked us but we dealt with it quickly. Most of them know better and know to stay out of of way but there will always be a few who never learn." I tried to imagine how he felt in the moment he was attacked. I was grateful that he was safe and that the poison was out of his system. I could only imagine how things would have ended up if he still had the poison coursing through his system.
"What happens to the leadership of Noxian's pack? Is it yours now?" I asked set down the wash cloth.
"On paper, yes, but I have no interest or desire to rule a pack of wolves. I have enough on my plate here so I allowed them to elect a new leader. His name is Tyson and I hear he is a good man. They still answer to us and I can always step in if I choose
I watched as the shower rinsed of the blood and soap from his body. I watched the little pink sods disappear into the drain and I was about to leave to get a towel when Jaxon reached out and pulled me into the shower. I let out a gasp as I came in contact with his wet body.
"You're already here," he teased softly. "We might as well make it profitable, don't you think?"

Kieran. He told me Jaxon and I didn't leave the room until sometime around seven. By then, Kiara was awake and so that he would handle both of them so I busied myself with breakfast. By the time he returned, I looked over at Kieran who looked better than when he first came. I smiled to myself as I saw him whispering to Kiara, He was slowly coming out of his shell and I was happy.
We ate breakfast and for the first time, Kieran joined in the conversation. I could see that even Jaxon had a proud smile on his face. When I thought about the possibility of Kieran going to another home, a small frown marred my face. I was beginning to have second thoughts about it but I shoved it into tie recesses of my mind to be handled another day.
"I may
may have used up all the flour, I told Jaxon over breakfast and 1 saw him shake his head. "I haven't been out in a while. I was thinking maybe I could go get some myself."
He looked like he was about to refuse but Kiara jumped in. "Can't go too? I want
Kieran perked up at that. "Marshmallows? I like them."
at to go to the store and get marshmallows."
Jaxon was caged and he knew it. Finally, he let out a resigned sigh and pulled out his wallet. He handed me his black card and I smiled. "You're going with guards. That is non-negotiable" "Deal
He murmured about the agreement for the rest of breakfast but didn't care, I was happy. Once we were done, he offered to do the dishes while I got everyone dressed to go out. Kiara was ready in her light blue dress but I opted for something more casual in jeans and a shirt. Kiara filled the entire car ride with her words and questions. Jared and Jael drove in front and 1 could see them smiling ever so often. When we got to the store, Kiara practically dashed in. I came for just flour but she grabbed anything and everything she thought she wanted. I returned a few but left most of them in. Kieran on the other hand stayed obediently by my side. clutching my hand as if scared of doing the wrong thing.
I noticed him staring at a bag of jelly beans for far too long so 1 stopped and squatted to his height. "Do you want it?"
He quickly shook his head and I raised a brow at him. "It doesn't matter. Mum said jelly beans were too expensive."
"It's okay, you can have it," he looked hesitant for a second but after some assurance from me, he grabbed a bag and placed it into the cart. I put in a second one for good measure. "If you want anything, you can just get it, okay? I won't mind."
He didn't pick anything else but whenever I saw him staring at something for too long. I would grab it for him. At the end of the day, we had a cart filled with goodies and just a few groceries for the palace. When I got the total, 1 paid with Jaxon's card hoping and praying that he didn't get upset on seeing the total.
Jared and Jael carried the plastic bags into the car while I helped the children into the car. I was doing that when I felt someone watching me. The hair at the back of my neck stood on end and I turned trying to find out who it was when I or rather her. The woman had a mask over her face so I couldn't see her features but I could have sworn I recognized hel anywhere.
When she realized I had seen her, she rushed away. I tried to convince myself it was someone else but I knew it was impossible al practically rushed into the car and ordered the twins to step on it. They looked at me concerned but I said nothing. I wanted to talk to Jaxon first before jumping to conclusions.
As soon as we got to the palace, I grabbed the kids and rushed in I heard the twins following close behind but I didn't have the time to pay attention to them. They knew which bags belonged to which kids and knew they would ensure that everyone got what they wanted.
Jaxon was in the living room when I entered. He looked up at me and a lazy smile grew on his face. "Almost one thousand dollars on just candy, I don't know if I should be worried or impressed."
"There's a problem. The smile on his face instantly dropped and he rushed to his feet. "I looked dowie at the kids with a soft smile. "Why don't you both go to Kiara's room, Nadia will be here soon?" 12:47 Fri, May 24 GRM.

"Me too?" Kieran asked and I nodded.
"Until we put you in school, you need to learn. I'm sure Nadia won't mind." I waited until they had disappeared before I turned to Jaxon. "I saw Violet outside the store."
