NovelEnglish~ Knox ~ "Maybe I should go after him...see what I have done to affend him?" Cleo continues to chew at her fingernails, she had been a nervous wreck since Jace stormed out, Josie following him.
"I keep telling you Cleo, you haven't done anything wrong. It's his problem, not yours. Just leave him to sulk." Jaxon shrugs out as he sips back on a fresh bottle of beer. He didn't seem keen to check on Jace's mental state, unlike Josie.
"I think Josie went after him, in fact they should be back by now." I cast my eyes over the celebrations to the exit, she had been a while and I can sense that she isn't close to me.
She was worried about Jace and she had reason to be, that was completely out of character of him. Especially to take it out on an innocent 17 year old female. Not just any female, a close family friend.
Jaxon..sure, he flies off at anything, but Jace...no he was the calmer one.
Well he used to be, goddess knows what the fuck is going on with him at the moment.
"But I..." Cleo sighs out, her eyes scanning to the exit also. It was clear to see how concerned she was, and Jaxon's blasé attitude towards the situation wasn't doing any good for her growing anxiety.
"Cleo, listen to me. Don't go after him, just leave him be. I'll have a word with him in the morning. He's drunk and grumpy, not even I can be bothered with that right now." He adopts a more gentler approach, his hand landing on her shoulder in a comforting move.

"I promise I'll..." Cleo's eyes take on that glazed look, which is all too familiar amongst us werewolves, as she cuts herself off.
She gasps, gaining mine and Jaxon's attention again, her face paling as he remains in the mind-link.
"Cleo?" Jaxon shakes her slightly, forcing her out of the mind-link.
"It's Mum, something has happened..." "Your Mum?" Jaxon searches the celebrations, as do I, I see Alpha Orpheus near the band, talking to the guitarist during their break. But not Luna Rosa.
"She's at the hospital...something is wrong." "A patient?" I ask out, wondering why Luna Rosa not only has left the party but was all the way at the hospital. "Josie...it's Josie." A deep deafening growl escapes me, silence descends upon the pack hall, eyes turn to me.
"Stay here Cleo." Jaxon orders out as we both push through the crowd, desperation igniting within me.
I search through the mate bond, even though I haven't marked her yet, I can still pick up signals, signs of her emotions...
but I can't feel her right now. Fuck, why didn't I think, why didn't I feel that.
I had been downing drink after drink, not even thinking something would go wrong tonight.
as we both enter into the hospital rushing straight to the physiotherapy floor, I knew that's where she would be.
I thought she was with Jace, why was she here.
As I run around the corner towards the ward, I halt to a stop.
Blood I could smell blood.
I will never be prepared for the scene in front of me. I walk towards it, each footstep like walking through thick mud as I continue towards the chaos. Each footstep becoming heavier and heavier.
The bottom of her shoes are hanging out of the door way to her small storage room, a female's frantic voice shouting out to someone.
It's like a movie scene, something I would watch from the comfort of a sofa, not be fully immersed in the story line. Then I see him, Doctor Abel trying to restrain someone, who is fighting back.
"She needs help."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"If let him go, he'll flee.” Doctor Abel roars at the Luna, turning, his tuning, his eyes landing upon me. The male in his arms, aggressively fighting against his strong head hold is George. "Take him, so I can help her!" He orders atbut it is Jaxon that steps into his place.
As soon as the doctor is free he dives down, pulling Luna Rosa away and shouting my own mate's name.
I move towards the doorway, my eyes turning to find my matem unresponsive on the floor, her clothes For torned and blood staining the floor by her head. "Josie?" I breathe out, it doesn't even sound like me.
"Move!" My wolf takes control, his voice deep...demonic.
I said "I need to help her, she has a head injury." Doctor Abel exclaims.
move!" I push him aside, pickin her up into my arms, cradling her close to me. What the hell has he done, she was unresponsive in my arms.
"To the bed!" Do Abel orders at me, as he hastily pushes pastto prepare receiving her.
Clear Wout hip Corpu
"What did you do?" I hear Jaxon growl out, his heavy aura able to suppress George's attempt to m escape, his command powerful, being the son of the Clear Water's alpha. He wasn't even holding him anymore, George was knelt on the floor before Jaxon, like a subject waiting to be sent to death.
