Chapter 44 - Jackson

To see Evelyn well and safe is the most wonderful feeling. I feel a contentment there, and I am suddenly wanting to hold her within my arms, but the fact I am now fully aware that she is not just my fated mate infuriates me. What sort of sick game is this by the moon goddess?! And the pain within my chest to see the mate mark she had chosen to return on Cayden was indescribable. She had chosen him it seemed. Yet I would fight for her. There was no denying that. I am not ready to give up on my second-chance mate yet. And I had no intention of sharing her.

“We will get you back to the packhouse, my love.” I smile at Evelyn. “Let the doctor have his room back.” I am trying so hard to act like I am calm, when inside my emotions are a churning mess. My wolf, Micco is unsettled like nothing else I have experienced before. I think this shared mate situation has thrown him as much as it has me. This was not a normal scenario for us. And I did not know how to handle it.

“Okay.”
