Alexia Eden(90)

All I have to take with me is in a raggedy old duffel bag and I’ve left clothes here for when I come back on weekends. I give him one last kiss then leave after putting a pair of Uggs on and Drakes hoody that he told me to take with because it smells of him.

I exit my room and keep my eyes away from Jax's door. I walk quickly out of the back door and to my car. I throw my bag in the backseat and climb in. I hear doors opening and the light turn on near the back door so I quickly reverse my car and drive away.

I look in my rear view mirror in time to see Jax run out the house calling me to come back but I just continue to drive away…away from Jax.





CHAPTER 30:

My phone has been ringing non-stop and I know who it is….Jax.

The pack house is quiet and it looks like everyone is still asleep, all the lights are off and since its cloudy and foggy outside the morning is still dark. I guess today is going to be just as gloomy as I feel.

I take my dirty boots off at the door leaving my socks on and tip toe up to my room. I step inside and tiptoe to my bed, my eyes start adjusting to the darkness. Just as I’m about to put my bedside light on I notice two large figures sleeping in my bed….Talon and Tyler.

I smile to myself. I love these boys.

I pull my hoody off and creep onto the middle of the bed between the two of them.

Damn they’re heavy sleepers…I thought werewolves had good hearing.

I climb under the covers in the middle. Tyler is lying on his stomach with his hands under his pillow facing the window. Talon is facing me, with his one arm bent under his pillow and the other resting on the bed near his chest.

I pull myself into Talons chest facing him, so that my ear is against his beating heart with my head under his chin. I gently lift his heavy arm and pull it over me as I pull my arm around his waist holding him close to me.

I sigh as I breathe in his scent which smells similar to Tyler’s which is sweeter where Talons is all musky and all man.

I pull him into me needing the comfort to soothe the sadness I feel after seeing Jax with the pretty girl, Talon tenses as he wakes up and then he puts his arm around me with his fingers lying on my lower back underneath my shirt. I hear him breathe in my scent and squeeze me gently as he kisses my forehead.

“Missed you my Angel…” he whispers against my temple.

“Missed you too Talon.” I whisper back and snuggle up to his warm body.

“Why didn’t you tell us you were coming? What’s the time?” he says in a gruff morning voice.

It’s still early but I just needed to get away. I needed to see you guys…” I whisper swallowing my tears as I think about the past few days.

I wonder if they know that Georgina wasn’t my mother?





“You okay?” Talon says as he places his palm on my jaw and moves my face upwards to look at him, revealing my teary eyes.

“Oh no baby, don’t cry.” He wipes the tears away and holds me tight with his cheek against mine while he rubs my back gently. He pulls away from me after a few minutes and looks down at me with a troubled look on his face. “What happened?”

“Georgina’s not my mother…. And h...he wasn’t my father. I don’t know who is and Alex and Johnny have been lying to me the entire time. I don’t even know who’s telling me the truth anymore? I’m just so exhausted Talon.” He squuezes me as I let out a deep breath but I continue. “To make things worse, I’m so confused. I have a boyfriend but I’m in love with my best friend and I just caught a girl walking out of his room this morning dressed in his clothes. Then when I finally decide to tell him I’m in love with him he just stands there, he didn’t say anything. Not one word! I’m such a terrible girlfriend Talon, I don’t know why my emotions are all crazy, I know I love Drake but I know I need Jax and I don’t know how I will be able to be me... without him.” I ramble on as the tears and sobs break out again into my hands against his chest.

He pulls me closer into him and rubs my back, my cries and trembling body eventually stills while Talon whispers comforting words in my ear, I finally fall asleep embraced by his warm body shielding me.

I wake up and the room is still dark, I look over to Tyler who is still sleeping the same way I found him when I came in. I look up to see Talon just looking down at me; I take his hand and kiss it.

“Thank you.” I whisper. He smiles at me and kisses my forehead.

“Lexi?” I lift my head to look up at him, he moves the hair out of my face. “I love you too… you know.” He says shyly. I smile at him remembering the text I sent him and Tyler and the way each of them replied.
