Mine – The Alpha’s Possession By Kylie CHAPTER 26

“Hi. I was wondering where you were. I went to your mother’s house earlier but no one was there.” Ethan explained.

“I’ve been staying here. Mom and I aren’t exactly on the best of terms right now.” I say leaning on the kitchen island in the middle of the room.

“How do you two know each other?”

Jackson asked taking a step closer. But he wasn’t fooling me. He stepped between me and Ethan so that we weren’t directly in front of each other.

“Ethan was the head warrior at Richmond Pack while I was there. Taught me everything I know.” I say with a hint of undertone to make Jackson question what Ethan had taught me.

“That scent. I knew I recognised your scent.” Jackson says looking at Ethan, and not in a nice way. I could hear a slight growl coming up from his throat and Ethan looked at me in confusion and a little fear. He was clueless to the whole situation.

I couldn’t believe that Jackson was reacting like that when he was meant to be my mate but wouldn’t acknowledge me as his mate just yet. It was completely ridiculous to me and I just rolled my eyes behind his back.

“He’s the one that you went to go and see before I took you from that pack. He’s the one that you were sleeping with in Richmond Pack.” Jackson growled out.

“Yes. He was. Until I left the pack and I tried to call him numerous time and he ignored me.” I say taking the food to the counter and I started making dinner.

“I left the pack the day after you did. I got accepted for that training camp. I wasn’t allowed a phone.” Ethan says. And I stopped what I was doing and I turned to look at him.

“What?” I asked confused.

“I told you about that intense training program that I applied for. I got in, I just didn’t know how to tell you. But then you came to me that night and told me that you were leaving so there was no point. But while I was there, none of us were allowed phones. That was one of the main rules. We needed to keep focused on what we were doing. I saw all your missed calls when I left there.” Ethan explained. And I didn’t know how to respond to that.

All this time I thought he was being an arsehole but now I know it’s because he didn’t have access to his phone. And I felt like a bitch for thinking all those bad things about him. But I had to remind myself that we couldn’t get into anything here. We couldn’t get back into our old relationship here. Not while Jackson and I are mated and hadn’t rejected each other at least.

“Well, I’m sorry I called you a using miserable son of a bitch.” I say.

“What?” He asked.

“I thought you were avoiding me because you were done with me. So, I may have. called you a few bad things.” I say still making my dinner.

“I get that.” Ethan says.

“Well, why didn’t you tell me that you came from Richmond pack?” Jackson asked.

“Because I wanted to start fresh. Away from that pack. I know that I was the head warrior, but a few things have come out lately about that pack and I was thankful that I left when I did.” Ethan explained.

“Yeah. I’ve heard some stories.” Jackson says looking away.

“I haven’t. What’s going on back there?” I asked.

“A few things. Richmond Pack have declared war against another pack. A much larger pack that they can’t possibly win and things are going to start to get bad.” Jackson says.

“What pack did they declare war again?” I asked curiously looking around Jackson so that he could see my face.

“Us.” Jackson muttered out.

“Alpha Richmond was a good man. Why the hell would he declare war against you? ” I asked in disbelief.

“Because I might have pissed him off by not telling him that I was on his land to collect you.” Jackson says trying not to look directly at me.

“You were on another Alpha’s territory without telling him. Why would you do that?” I asked.

“Because I was just there to collect you. But obviously your father and stepmother had something to say about it to the Alpha.” Jackson says trying to defend himself.

“And why the hell didn’t you tell me about this? Maybe I could have called them and calmed the situation down. Thomas and Victoria would have made it sound like you kidnapped me.” I snapped at him.

“I didn’t want you getting involved.” He says.

“Well, guess what. I am involved. You men are all the fucking same. You can never bring yourself to ask for help from a woman.” I say grabbing my sandwich and heading for the door of the kitchen.

“Where are you going?” Jackson sang out behind me.

“To my room. And maybe to make a couple of phone calls that will smooth this supposed war over.” I yelled as I kept walking out of the room.

I walked straight up to my room and I sat at the desk and I put my sandwich down. and started eating it while I was looking through my phone. When I found Alpha Richmond’s phone, number I called it.

“Hello.” He answered.

“Alpha Richmond. It’s Taylor Stevenson. “I say.

“Taylor. It is so good to hear your voice. How are you?” He asked.

“I’m fine. Listen, I just heard something disturbing. Are you really starting a war with Alpha Jackson?” I asked.

“He kidnapped you from my pack.” He says.

“Did Thomas and Victoria tell you that?” I asked.

Yeah. They did. They said that he forced you to leave.” Alpha Richmond says. And I let out a heavy sigh.

“Listen, I didn’t want to go that night. But he didn’t force me. He didn’t carry me to the car and force me to leave. I left on my own. I decided to go, so I did. Thomas and Victoria are just pissed off because he walked in and started throwing his weight around. That’s all.” I explained.

“Are you telling me the truth or is he there with you?” Richmond asked.

“I’m in my room, alone. In the packhouse where I am living. He didn’t kidnap me. I know that he should have asked permission to be on your land, but whatever Thomas and Victoria told you isn’t true.

They’re just starting their usual dramatic bullshit because they don’t have me there to push around anymore.” I explained.

“Oh my god. What have those two bastards done?” He asked.

“I think they have caused a meeting between you and Alpha Jackson to smooth things over. I don’t want anyone going to war for me. I wasn’t kidnapped. I left on my own and if I wanted to go back to Richmond pack then I would have gone back already. Believe me.” I explained still eating my sandwich.

“Alright. Thank you so much for this call. But why did it take you so long to call me about this?” He asked.

“Because I only just heard about it. The Alpha wouldn’t disclose something like this to a pack member.” I say.

“Alright. I’ll be in touch with Alpha Jackson. I am very happy that you’re safe. ” He says.

“Thank you, Alpha Richmond.” I say.

“Alright. Don’t be a stranger. You call whenever you need to.” He says.

“I will. Thank you. I’ll talk to you later.” I say hanging up and I finished my sandwich but there was someone standing just outside the door and I turned around to see who it was.

Jackson was standing there leaning against the doorframe. And I looked at him but then looked away and grabbed some books out of my bag to do my homework.

“Did you just stop a war?” He asked from the door.

“Never send a man to do a woman’s job.”

I smirk while still not looking at him.

“Well, maybe I should have come to your about this in the beginning. I didn’t think your father would have made him believe. that you were kidnapped.” Jackson says.

“He’s not my father. And you have no idea what those people are capable of.” I say. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I guess I don’t.” He says walking inside and instantly I caught his aroma hitting my nose and I had to stop breathing out of my nose.

“Did I invite you in?” I asked as he sat on the bed.

“You and Ethan. I need to know everything.” He insists.

“No. You don’t. Besides, you wouldn’t be able to handle everything.” I say flatly.

“Taylor. Don’t make this harder on me. then it already is. I just initiated him into the pack. Which means I can’t kick him. out without good reason.” Jackson says.

“If you’re worried about us hooking up again while he’s here, then you don’t need to worry. Unlike you, I’m a faithful mate.” I say.

“I haven’t been unfaithful to you.” He says looking at in confusion, so I turned to look at him. And I saw the hurt on his face.

“You are being unfaithful to the mate bond. That’s just as bad as if you’re cheating on me.” I say.

“I’m sorry if it feels like that.” He says looking down.

“Is there something that you need? Because I have a lot of work to do.” I say.

“Yeah. I was told about the accelerated program that you’re doing.” He says.

“Well, if I have no reason to stay here then I might as well finish high school and get the hell out as soon as possible.” I say looking back to the desk and opening my books.

“You’re going to leave?” He asked.

“What else am I meant to do? Be the laughing stock of the entire pack for the rest of my life? Now, can you please leave because I really do have a lot of homework to do.” I say.

I heard Jackson breathe out heavily and he stood up and walk towards the door. I looked up just as he opened the door and I saw Ethan on the other side leaning against the wall. I don’t know if he was waiting for Jackson or if he came up to see me and heard us talking. But I didn’t care to ask. Jackson closed the door behind him and I started getting stuck into my homework.
