CHAPTER 60

"Mrs.Cooper.Are you there?" I asked after a long pause.

"Yes.Sorry.I am here.I didn't know that Jackson had found his mate." She says.

"Oh.I didn't know that.I'm sorry.This must be a shock." I say.

"It sure is.You must be something special if you can tame Jackson." She says.

And then I went quiet after that.I hadn't tamed him at all.I explained to her that he was a hard nut to crack, but I didn't tell her about him hitting me.

And I just wanted to know a little more about his life.He's never even mentioned his family.

Not his father, the former Alpha, and the rest of the family.She told me that Jackson is the oldest of 8 kids.

And I was shocked to hear that.He had never mentioned his family, let alone 7 siblings.And she gave me a quick run down of the family dynamic.It wasn't anything really out of the ordinary except being the family of an Alpha.

That's all there was to it.I had a really long conversation with Jackson's mother and she was really pleased to hear that Jackson had found a mate and she was so happy to meet me.

She wishes to meet me in person soon, but she doesn't think Jackson will be returning home anytime soon.She tells me on the phone that I sound like I might be a good fit for Jackson.I don't have his volatile temper.

The temper that I saw yesterday.

After that I called Fiona, just to check on Stefan and she told me that he would be in hospital for a while.He's got a lot of injuries and I apologized to her.She sounded disappointed but said that it wasn't my fault.

I had a feeling that I needed to stay away from Stefan for a while now.I didn't want to, he was a good friend.But it was for his safety only.

When I got off the phone with her I laid down on the bed and I was staring up at the ceiling and I ended up falling asleep.I guess not sleeping the night before really caught up to me.

It wasn't really a peaceful sleep though.

I kept seeing the look on Jackson's face.

The look in his eye while he was beating Stefan.I woke up with a jolt and I looked over at the clock and I had only been asleep for two hours.

And I looked across the room and practically jumped out of the bed when I saw Jackson sitting in the chair across my room.

"What the hell are you doing? You scared the crap out of me." I yelled.

But he didn't answer me.He was just staring at me.It took me a moment to realize that he was staring at the bruise on my face.So I pulled my hair over that side of my face so he couldn't see it.But he got up and walked over to me.He sat on the side of my bed and he moved my hair away from the bruise.

"Don't cover it.I deserve to see what I did." He says softly, caressing the side of my face.
