Chapter 426
“Brianna, do you need anything from us to get her room set?” Elara looks past me to the two coven leaders as they pace Juliette’s room.
“We can place some wards to make her more calm and less likely to run or try to escape. We will need to test her magic to see what she is capable of. We have elders on their way with supplies now.” Brianna says breezily. This is not her first rodeo. Noted. “We do ask you to leave a female warrior with us for the first hour so we can get her cleaned up and have a proper examination.” She looks away from Elara to Jason and back. A clear direction that he is not to be in the room while they examine Juliette. I’m worried about what they are expecting to find.
“I will stay with her, as Jason’s mate, I need first hand details so I can relay them.” She looks at me. “Can you handle Drake without killing him p>
“Of course.” I roll my eyes, but the question isn’t unfounded. He’s from my pack, has ties to Kennedy and now Jason through his mate. We have so many reasons to be rid of him. “Let’s go, man” I pat Jason on the shoulder.
He nods, still holding a trembling Juliette. Stepping through the door and walking across the room, he sets her gently on the bed. It looks like he wants to say something, but decides to keep his mouth shut. I can see her trembling increase as he walks away from her. Her eyes go wide in panic, as she looks to each person in the room for answers, but Jason keeps walking. I know he can feel it. It’s probably taking all of his will power to take each step out of the room. She doesn’t know why she is more scared now that she’s out of his arms, she doesn’t understand how the matebond works. I’m hoping Elara can help explain and get him answers to help them both. Copyright 2025 Miss L Writes and Ember Mantel Productions
I follow, shutting the door behind me. Jax and Dev take up a position by the door with Owen. As we make it to the main living area at the center of the packhouse we see Damon leading Gene, the coven healer in the direction we came from.
I steer Jason in the direction of the cells. “Remember we can kill him immediately. And he will try to provoke you p>
“No, his death will be slow and
painful. He hurt Ken and probably did the ame or worse to fuller Another growl rumbles through his chest. “How did you do it, man p>
“Do what?” I stop him in the stairwell down to the cells.
“She won’t look at me, she’s afraid of us. Everytime I touch her she flinches. The human part doesn’t scare me after growing up with Ken, but Juliette is a witch. She’s a witch that is part of the coven that s attacking your mate and your new pack. How do I turn off the bond? What the f*ck do I do p>
“Right now nothing. You can’t turn it off or suppress it. You can’t run from it or hide from it, but you both need to get some closure and clarity on few things before you decide if you are going to reject her or not p>
Another growl, “I can break a couple bones right? As long as I don’t kill him, I can
use him as a punching bag p>
“Yeah, just don’t kill him. We need answers and he wants you to kill him p>
I pat him on the shoulder and we head down to visit our former Delta.
