Jax:

I just spent what felt like hours, battling some dark demons through underground caves before finally finding Thor. Once I found him, I discovered the true source of my power. I was gifted special abilities from the God of Night, Toros.

Nia and I supposedly hold these special abilities to help bring peace or something. I couldn't process all of it.

One thing I warned about, My Father.

My father has been hindering my abilities somehow, and my brothers.

What bothered me more than that was hearing my father speak to my mate. He was used to women acting a certain way towards him. Unfortunately, my Nia isn't like any other female out there. After speaking to this God, I was thrust back into the shadows as Thor or ombre, helped guide me back.

"Nia?" I was yelling over and over in my mind. It took a while to reconnect with my physical body as Thor was thundering in my mind. I was still so unsure about giving him so much freedom but something told me I needed to change how I handled him if I wanted to truly understand how to use these new abilities. I could feel Nia's small fingers exploring my tattoos. Every touch was bringing me closer to myself. Thor and I still wanted to be close to her. 

"Nia?" I growled out loud as I finally heard my own voice in my ears. The moment I opened my eyes I felt Nia's familiar glow as I sat up trying to focus my eyes.

She rushed me, wrapping her arms around me tightly. Her smell, her touch, her energy. It was all so beautiful and bright. I quickly wrapped my arms around her. I didn't realize how much I missed her all this time.

Caleb spoke first, "Happy to have you back bro!" He was actually smiling. A small smile, but still a smile. He must have been worried.

"Holy shit bro! I really thought I was going to have to take Nia off your hands if you didn't wake up soon..." He chuckled as I punched him in the arm with all my strength, still not letting go of Nia who had her face buried in my chest.

She laughed, "Oh Riley, I doubt you could handle me..." We all chuckled as my father glared at us all.

"Luna Nia, I look forward to working with your pack, for now." My father said as he stormed out of the room.

I rolled my eyes and sighed, "I'm sorry my father is acting this way Nia."

"You mean how he always acts?" Caleb snapped back.

Riley chimed in, "I mean, I don't see the problem. We can just wipe everyone out and start new." Riley headed towards the door, "anyway, Jax, you need to get sexy and meet us out front. We've got the photo shoot in a couple of hours."

I groaned. Nia giggled, "Don't worry, I have to go with you anyway. Maybe it will be good to get away for a couple of hours, you know, get our minds off of all the madness happening here."

She smiled up at me as she said it. I frowned.

My brother's said their goodbyes as Nia and I were finally left alone. I pulled her into my lap. I had a strong desire to mark her brewing.

"Jaxson..." She warned as I begin running my hands up and down her thighs. Her skin was so soft and smooth. How could I not touch her?

"Nia..." I sighed, pulling her in for a deep kiss. I felt her grind her hips against me making me growl. I held her hips, forcing her core against my hard length making her whimper in response. I could smell her pleasure. Her need , as it filled the room.

"Mark her..." Thor rumbled in my mind.

I growled again as her movements became more desperate.

"Jaxson..." She whispered in my ear as I felt her bite the cord on my neck sending a little electric shock through my body.

I slowly moved my hands up her t-shirt, waiting for her to stop my hands before they got to her glorious breasts but she didn't. Instead she pushed my hands up further, "Please..." She begged making it hard for me to control my movements. I would take her right here if I wasn't careful.

When I reach under her bra, finally reaching her hard perky nipples I hiss. I start to grind harder against her, damn it. I can barely control myself. The urge to release myself is so strong, I'm not going to be able to hold back much longer.

Nia

I can't believe I'm doing this. My mind wants to stop, but my body isn't ready to give up until I get some sort of release.

Feeling his length grind against my wet needy core just feels so good. I start to whimper as I feel his hands travel up to my breasts. The moment he finds my hard desperate nipples, I practically lose control. I feel the shock wave of pleasure and pain shot throw me and I pull my thighs together, gripping on to him as Barbie and my body deceive me. He moves himself against my core roughly, once and then twice. Any wolf near by could hear my moaning by now, but I didn't care anymore.

I'm lost in the moment, feeling my body crave him. I want nothing more than for him to take me, right here.

His hands now on my hips halt my movements. I look him in the eye and see the deep black and red swirls beginning to fade. I half smile as the heat on my face rises. His face looks almost in pain as he quickly moves me off of him, gently placing me on the side of the bed and quickly moves to the shower room. I fix my clothing, not sure what to make of the sudden distance between us. Did he really just toss me aside?

He turns, clearing his throat, "You should probably go get an update, and I need to get ready for this photo shoot."

I furrow my brows. Seriously? We were just about to rip each others clothes off but he's more concerned about this damn photoshoot? Am I not good enough for him now? What the hell!

I scoff walking across the room to the door, brushing by him without a glance, "Fine..." I grit out as I open the door, "...wouldn't want you to let down all your fans." I slam the down behind me.

The tears in my eyes trying to escape are quickly dried when I see Nigel. He's at the end of the hall way speaking to Dr. Mae.

He picks up on my distress easily and walks down the hallway to my side. I try to walk faster to avoid the conversation but he can easily keep up.

Curse my shortness.

"Is everything ok Nia?..." I ignore the question, I'm not sure how to deal with him right now. I've just been rejected by my own mate and the last thing I need is his comments. "... Listen, Nia, I know there's a lot going on right now, but I'd like to show you all that we've found on the moonstone pack." I stop in my tracks and look up at him.

He's really such a beautiful man. It's interesting that just a few months ago I was still hoping that he could have been my mate. He's funny, sweet, caring, he always knows what I need and when I need it. We know each other so well. I half smile as I notice his concerned look.

Sighing, I continue walking, "Speak Nigel, I don't have much time." That came out more angry than I wanted. Oh well.

"It seems many of the rouge attacks were centered around other rouge packs and clans that oppose war." He waits for a response, but I keep marching forward, my thoughts brewing.

"It also seems that Caleb may have been behind many of the deaths of rouges and humans who oppose war or have supported anti war causes. Riley as well..." I slow slightly, why would they risk something like this?

"Jax too..." I froze at his last statement. I turned to look at him. "...I didn't want to believe it either, but, all of the most powerful warriors of the moonstone pack have been killing our own kind."

I feel the heat in my body rising, I can feel my whole body tense, "Nigel! You better show me some solid evidence of this NOW!" He rushes to put his hands on either side of my head.

I quickly grant him entrance as he starts pushing his memories into my mind.

I watch as he and Nuru begin putting up information on their wall in their office. Pictures of Riley, Caleb, and Jax, spread across the wall. Other warriors from the moonstone pack are also pinned up. I watch in sadness as they pin photo after photo of rogues murdered underneath them.

Post-it's soon fill the board with notes. I see my mother come in, she looks at the board and tears fill her eyes. She shakes it off and calls someone, quickly walking out of the room again, then Nuru races after her.

Nigel brings me to another day, an envelope. He opens it and I see photos of Kyle and Dorin, his father. They are meeting with someone who looks like he could kill anyone in an instant. Who is that?

Then I'm pulled away to another memory, this looks recent. I watch as Nuru bursts into the room. He looks like he's ready to destroy everything. He looks up at the wall, and starts rambling on and pointing at pictures. I can't quite understand what he's doing.

"They're wiping out OUR SUPPORT! At this rate they will have their war whether we want it or not!"

"We must tell NIA! NOW! We can't let her go through this!" Nigel... Sweet Nigel...

Nuru roars and I see his canines begin to drop. Nigel places his hand on his shoulder, forcing him to calm.

Nuru looks at him with tears in his eyes, "I can't do that to her Nigel. Rejecting a mate bond, that's something no creature should have to endure..."

Nigel yells, "That's your sister! What if he forces her to go along with him somehow! Fuck NURU!"

"Shut up NIGEL! She would never abandon her family..." He turns and walks out.

When I open my eyes again, Nigel is wiping all the tears on my cheeks. "FUCK!" I yell out loud, pushing him away and running into the pack house. I don't make eye contact with anyone. I push everyone out of my way and swing open my door, landing on my bed.

My heart hurts. It feels as if it's been broken into a million pieces and trampled on by the one person the moon goddess said I should trust.

"Nia, Mate...." Barbie whines in my head.

"Shut up Barbie! Our Mate is a killer! War hungry! I want a new mate!!!"
