Mate ...s ?!?!

[Orion’s POV]

What just happened?

Did Jax just walk away from us? Did he just walk away from us both!?

I looked over to Jace and I could see that he was just as shocked as I was. He looked very shell shocked. Like he was just as frozen as I was. I never thought that I could be a part of someone questioning their way of doing things. That was what Jax was doing right now. He was questioning himself on a far deeper level than anyone could ever realize. I had seen it in his eyes as he turned away from us and walked away. I was waiting for him to turn around, to realize that leaving the two of us was not the right way. To see that leaving us was not the way to work through this.

The soft clicking of the door was so loud to my ears that when it actually hit me, the reality that Jax had just walked out on both Jace and I, I lost what little sanity I had left in my mind at that moment. Suddenly, I felt a scream fill my lungs and escape through my mouth as I fell to the floor in tears. A strong pain filled my body as I screamed out in agony, I wanted to run after Jax, to pull him back and tell him how wrong he was for leaving but the pain in my body was too much for me to bear. Jace’s arms wrapped around me and the world seemed to fade away from me as the darkness took over again.

[Unknown POV]

I was watching the Alphas very closely. Those Twins were obstacles in the way of my prize of the White Wolf, ones that I would be more than happy to dispose of, but now was not the time. However, when the more dominant one took off out the back door and into the forest, I saw that my opportunity to take at least one of them down was upon me.

I raced after him. He was the biggest problem. He had the most power between the two of the Twins. The one that always thought with his brawn and not very often with his mind. However, if he got ahold of you, the chances of you surviving were lessened greatly. Jaxson King was only 20 years old and had already made a name for himself among the Wolves. He was a beast in Wolf Form and he was going to end up becoming the Alpha King if he was left alone and to his own devices.

A deadly fighter and an even deadlier mind. The other one was the one that had more brain however, they Balanced each other. While this one was intelligent, the other one was a genius. This one fought like a machine, always anticipating his enemy’s next move. In a fight he was unbeatable.

I had already taken an interest in these Twins for possible allies, but now they had something I wanted and now they were in my way and it was going to be a very interesting to see who came out the victor in this battle. I followed the one deep into the trees as he growled and huffed in frustrated anger. He was obviously upset about something. Something that could possibly be used in my favor.

I was going to use everything I could against him. Everything I could to get what I wanted.

[Jace’s POV]

I can’t believe Jax just walked out on us like that. He just left us. He left me. He actually turned his back on me. Jax had turned his back on me and Orion leaving us behind as he just walked out.

I felt a part of me break as Jax just walked out like he did and so did Orion. While the impact on me was much more hurtful because Jax was my twin, Orion was the one to let out a wailing screaming cry. One that echoed through to Guren and my soul felt his pain as well as my own. I just stood there. I had lost all feeling in my body and mind. I had no feeling left. Everything had walked right out the door with Jax.

I can’t believe Jax had just walked out on us like that. After all that’s happened. After all we have been through, he just leaves. After everything we have fought for and everything, we have been through he just quits on me. We finally got what we had been promised. A Mate that would Balance us in ways we could never see, someone that will always love us for everything we can’t be and he runs at the first sign of trouble.

Jaxson Sawyer King, the Alpha of Alphas, ran from his Mates in fear. What the hell am I going to do?? How am I going to handle all of this on my own? Orion needs more than just me to love him. Cassie was not ours. He did not belong to Cassie. I had nothing to offer our little Mate because I felt stuck myself. I felt this pain inside my body. Orion was screaming his little heart out at this point, his tears my own, and my mind is completely blank on what to actually fucking do. I had no idea how to comfort him, how to make him feel better.

Then Orion’s wailing suddenly stopped and I heard a soft thud behind me. I look over to see him passed out on the floor. I move over to him, feeling like I was moving in a fog. He’s fine just brokenhearted. Just like me. I guess I’m going to be the next one to pass out. I could feel the darkness creep up on me and all I could think about before I let it take me over was wrapping myself securely around Orion. Someone had to protect him now. We were all we had left. Jax had left us.
