The Beta Trials by Cooper (Jace & Jordan)

Chapter 36 (Mason)

I will kill anyone who comes after my family. I’ve done it before; I’ll do it again.

I hold my mate until she gets control of herself. I know she hates to feel weak, but this knocked the wind out of her. “Promise me he will die, Mason.

Promise me that man and his family won’t take anything more from us.”

“I promise, Jara. He will not get to Jordan. I’ll let Seth know, he can watch over Taylor, and we can make sure that Nolan stays close to her as well.”

She nods, leaning into me.

When she pulls back, I take her face in my hands and look at her.

“That was very unexpected,” she says, looking embarrassed for having fallen apart. I can feel it through out bond too.

“Jara, that man hunted you, burned down Davis’s packhouse to get to you, and is the reason we lost our first child and your guard. You have no reason to feel embarrassed by your emotions. I’m furious. I want to kill him, and I don’t even know this kid. But if he’s Typhon’s son with a human, then he’s even worse than his father was,” I tell her.

She leans in and k*isses me, taking a deep breath of my scent. I push my anger down, giving my mate what she needs to feel strong again. We’re about to go into a room with other Alphas and Lunas and she needs to feel in control of her emotions.

“I’m going to go wash my face and then I’ll be ready,” she says.

I lean in, gently k*issing her l*ips. “Take your time, my love.”

When she goes into the bathroom, I mind link Elijah. Of everyone, he’s the one that will need to hear this just as much as we do. Him and Seth.

‘Alpha, what do you need?’ he asks in the mind link.

‘Meet me downstairs in ten minutes,’ I say.

‘Is everything okay, Alpha?’

‘No. This is important. I need you in this Alpha meeting this morning, but I need to speak to you first.’

‘I’ll be waiting for you,’ he says.

When she walks out of the bathroom, no one would know that she’s was falling apart a few minutes
