"Leo," I mumbled.
"Leo, as in the alpha of our pack?" He asked, and I nodded. He growled, getting off of my bed. I immediately jumped up as well and scrambled to keep up with him as he exited my room.
"Jax, where are you going?" I asked, running to keep up with him. He was already at my front door, opening it and shrugging his jacket on. I briefly looked around outside, seeing that it was night time. We must have been talking for a long time.
"To go find Leo. Alpha or not, he's dead," Jaxon said, getting into the car. I hopped into the car with him.
"No, no, no. That's a very, very bad idea," I spoke quickly.
"Why?" He demanded. I opened my mouth to answer, but closed it, not knowing what to say. "Exactly," Jaxon said. I sat silently as Jaxon drove to the pack house. When we got there, Jaxon immediately got out and I ran after him.
"Jax, I really don't think this is going to change anything," I tried reasoning, but he wouldn't listen to me. He slammed the door open, startling some of the pack members.
"Where's Leo?!" He shouted.
"Movie room," someone said. I ran after Jaxon as he headed there. Leo and Alex were sitting the couch, watching some movie. Leo and Alex turned their heads when they heard us enter, and when Jaxon launched himself at Leo, Leo was immediately on his feet. Jaxon swung at him, successfully punching Leo in the face. He cursed, rubbing his jaw.
"What the fuck, Jaxon?!" Leo shouted. Jaxon tried punching Leo again, but he jumped out of the way.
"How could you do that to her?!" Jaxon yelled, lunging towards Leo and pinning him against the wall.
"What are you talking about?!" Leo shouted, pushing Jaxon off.
"You fucking rejected her! She was the best thing you could have ever had, and you basically threw her away!" Jaxon shouted. Everyone froze.
"She told you," Leo stated, breaking the silence.
"It was implied,' I argued.
"The way he's acting now and what he just said proves that he wants us,' Rosie argued back. 'I know that you feel the mate bond with Leo. It isn't broken,' she said before blocking me out, successfully ending the conversation.
I hadn't even noticed that we had already arrived at home. Alex and I got out, saying goodbye's to Jaxon before he left. We entered the house and I immediately headed up to my room. I took a quick shower before finding a Victoria's Secret pajama set that I found in one of my suitcases since I hadn't unpacked yet. I put it on before climbing into bed.
I was exhausted from the days events, and I was soon drifting to sleep. The last thing that was on my mind was that I knew that Rosie was right. I felt the bond with Leo, and it was growing stronger and stronger each day that passed.
Ever since Leo told me that he would do anything to get me to forgive him, he's been doing just that. If I needed something, he was there. If I wanted something, he would give it to me. He was always around to help me.
My wolf has been constantly telling me to forgive Leo, and to be honest, I wanted to. So very badly.
