Chapter 13
Paxton’s POV
How dare that son of a bitch refuse to give the girls back to us? I want to tear the room apart. I have never been so disrespected in all my life. They wouldn't even allow us to spend the night on their land. The fact that lowly guard, that fucking nasty vampire, and Alpha Jaxon all dismissed me like that. They are going to find out just how big of a mistake they made today. I am calling the council first thing in the morning. I refuse to let them take them away from us. They are mistaken if they think that they can get away with it; those women belonged to my pack. I will never allow them to leave it again once I get them back.
We were so close. I was sure of it. We almost caught them, and it makes me sick to realize just how close we had actually been. I wish Rex hadn't told Clay to start honking at them to stop them. The girls were fucking running from us, for Goddess's sake. Of course, they would want to escape once they saw how close we were to them. I saw Brenna step in as the car drove past the fate. Once we got there, the gate was already back in place. We were so freaking close. We had to have been less than five minutes behind them. I don’t know what Brenna had told them, but they needed to listen to us, not them. I was not going to lose Cara to these jerks. That was not going to happen.
The fact that the guard had smirked at us as they closed another barrier between us infuriated me. How dare he. I was going to make sure that he was disciplined in the morning. They let the girls drive off without giving them back to us. Providing them shelter when they were rogues. Hell, Cara was a witch. I wonder if Jaxon was aware of that? That jerk of an Alpha refused to listen to reason, no matter what I said. They may have run away, but they were still lifetime members of my pack. None of us had hurt them, so they needed to hand them over. I will not leave here without them. I don't care what Jaxon or the council said about it.
We could no longer see any of them anymore, but we were not going to leave. They closed a solid gate into place while we were still standing there after their Alpha drove off. No matter what we yelled over the gate, no one responded to us. I knew that jerk was there, with the other gate guards. I could smell him. He thinks that he is so important. I have to make sure that the council steps in and makes sure he gets punished. He had no right to interfere like that. I am a ranked wolf, he is nothing. I think that I am going to need a formal apology tomorrow. Maybe make him get on his knees to apologize to me. Just thinking of forcing him to kneel and apologize made me feel better.
We had stopped to grab food before we got to our hotel. Thankfully, they had an overnight laundry service. I was not going to show up looking like a vagrant. I am sure that is what they wanted, for us to look bad. We ate dinner silently before deciding the method we needed to use to get them back.
“I can’t believe they let them into their pack. We could have only been a few minutes behind them. How in the hell could they have talked their way in there so fast? It is ridiculous, I mean Cara is not a wolf. How could they just let strangers into their pack? We would never have allowed a witch into our pack. If she hadn’t been Beta James' daughter, she would never have been allowed in ours in the first place,” Rex said.
“He is right. We had to have been close. Why would they have allowed them entry? I think that we need to mention the witch thing and say that she did something in our pack. She did attack me. She deserves to be punished for it. It is no small thing to attack the Beta of your pack for no reason,” Clay stated.
“That is a good line to tug. We can also mention that they were just upset because they just lost their parents. That should show that they were not thinking clearly in the first place. I will mention that they have lived there with us their whole lives. They were just upset,” I agreed with Clay and Rex.
I will not allow that kid to take Cara away from me. They were all three coming back with us. We made some good points on a sheet of paper to mention to the council. My bottom line, I was never going to leave here without them. I don’t care what Jaxon said.
My phone lit up, and I had to look up at the ceiling to gather strength for a minute before answering my phone. She will not leave me alone. “What do you want, Lisa?” I asked the moment she answered.
“I was just wondering when you were coming home,” she answered in a coquettish voice. It used to turn me on when we were teenagers, but it hasn’t done anything for me in quite a while.
“I am not coming home tonight, Lisa. I am having to deal with an important issue that came up,” I replied.
“Let me guess, that important issue is Cara, right? Are you with her? You better not cheat on me, Paxton. I won’t allow it. I am your mate. I will feel it the moment you do. Don’t push me too far. I will not allow you to hurt me like that. You chose me, remember. It was because I was the best choice in the entire pack to be your Luna. You need to remember that our pack members will never accept her, no matter what you do or say. So stop with all your plans; you are stuck with me,” Lisa spat into the phone.
“Lisa, I have three pack members in danger out here. The Black Adder pack took three of our pack members. Am I supposed to let them be tortured because you are jealous and have an issue with Cara? I would do this for any of my pack members. Have a nice shopping trip and take your time. I am going to have to involve the council in this. I don’t know when I am coming home, you already know I left you father in charge. Don’t spend a lot of money. You have a limit. It is twenty thousand dollars. Not one cent more,” I told her.
I heard her huffing into the phone. She wanted more, but that was not going to happen. I will sit her down and have a long talk with her once she returns from this trip. She spends too much. This is the last one for the year. She is going to be pissed about it, but that is a fight for another day. I already knew why she was calling in the first place. She wanted to work me up to try to get a higher budget. It was not going to work. I already knew what she was planning.
“I doubt you would do it for all of our pack members, but be careful. I would be fine with you just bringing Brenna and Luna back home. We don’t need Cara there anymore. She is basically a human and isn’t worth her keep,” Lisa finally replied.
“You don’t get to decide that, Lisa. Good night,” I told her. I could hear her saying “Good night” back to me as I hung up. I didn’t think it was possible for me to get even madder than I was, but Lisa managed to push me to it. I wanted to crush my phone in my hand, but I forced myself to calm down. I need to focus on the problem at hand. I need to convince the council to return them to me. Once I get my hands on them, I will ensure they never get away again. That thought managed to get me to calm back down.
“I know she is your sister, but I am sick of her,” I finally mumbled to Rex.
“You are preaching to the choir man, I already knew,” he replied.
“Let’s get some sleep, guys. I plan on being on the phone with the council first thing in the morning,” I told them.
“We need to get our stories straight before you call. We should meet for breakfast and go over everything. Then you can call the council and try to get someone out here to help us. They can’t keep a council member out of their pack,” Clay stated. He is exactly right. They couldn’t prevent a member of the council from entering their pack.
“That is a great idea, Clay. Let's do that. We will go out to Black Adder with them and see if they dare to refuse us entry again,” I replied. A few minutes later, they exited my room and headed to their own rooms.
I got in bed and lay there for an hour. I was angry and frustrated. I wanted Cara in the worst way, and my mind wouldn’t stop. I should have caught her before they got into Black Adder. How could Jaxon stand against me? I knew that I would not be able to sleep, so I went to take another shower. We had all taken one earlier when we turned our clothes into the laundry service. We needed them back as quickly as possible.
This had been a long day of travel, and I was tired, but I needed to deal with this growing issue first. I knew sleep would be impossible until I was able to cum. I got the water running a little warm and got into the shower. I got a handful of soap and leaned forward to brace my forearm on the wall as the water slid down my body. I gave a few short strokes as I grew harder.
My wolf, Mace, flooded my mind with images of Cara’s face and body. I wish I had just stayed behind in her room last night and ignored her sisters. I could have already gotten her pregnant by now. It was as if we both knew it for a fact. My cock grew even larger at the thought of taking Cara. She would probably have fought me, which turned me on even more. Her trying to prevent me from taking her wouldn’t matter to Mace or me. She was ours, even though I marked Lisa. I never wanted Lisa to be my Luna. I just wanted Lisa to leave Cara alone.
A few more tight pulls on my cock, and I released onto the shower wall. I can’t remember ever coming so hard in my life, not even my first time having sex. There was just something about Cara that called out to me. She was not just beautiful, she was kind, and she had a killer figure. Cara was a good person. Lisa had every right to be jealous. I have never wanted anyone like I wanted Cara. I dried off and was finally able to get the rest I needed. Tomorrow was a big day. I needed to do my best to get her back. I was not going to give Cara up without a fight.
