Chapter 0534 -Jace- "Here, lettake your things Auntie Rosa." I move around Jaxon, ignoring his sudden issues with Ares as I retrieve the bags from the floor to take inside into their guest room.

"Jace." She almost jumps aside at my closeness, her eyes concentrating on Ares as he meets Jaxon's scrutinising scare.

Good for him, he was an alpha himself and he needed to grow into his future title. About tJaxon got used to other males fighting back.

It can't just be myself and Knox all the time. Besides Ares is like a younger sibling to Jaxon and I...he wouldn't go out of his way to hurt him.

If anything he would be gentler with him that he was with me.

However, the warning rumble emitting from Jaxon's chest forcesto caution my brother's reaction.

"Jaxon..." I growl out, reminding Jaxon that this is my land and for once, he has to do what I want.

I won't have him acting this way, not when the last group gathering ended the way it did.

It seems to work, snapping him out of his anger long enough for him to redirect towards me.

"What?" He narrows his eyes at me, my own wolf pressing forward in preparation.

I won't have him challenging me, not here and not today of all days.

For once, I need things to go to plan.

"What is going on with you?" I find him through the mind-link and push on it, wanting to get to the root of his irrational anger of late. Until I lose my link to the Dark Phantom pack, and with my family close by, I can now use the mind-link again. Not all things had to be said in public.

Jaxon was always on the verge of a rage induced episode...but recently it seems to be heightened. That he could blow his top at any second.

"Nothing." "You don't have to be here." "Oh yes I do." He grunts back to me, barging pastas he follows Auntie Rosa and Uncle Orpheus inside the alpha house. Where my parents and Callie are already waiting for them.

Also heading inside, I find Callie is already making refreshments for our recent arrivals, but dread starts to wash over me. I turn to look behind me, one figure in particular missing.

Cleo's absence is noticeable. Their arrival just doesn't have the simpact without her.

She was always the first to embrace me, always the first to say how much she missed me.

A level of coldness spreads overwithout her being here, something I will just have to get used to.

"No Cleo?" Mum glances behindas I walk into the hallway, I guess growing up we were always drawn to one another, now I know why.

"She's not well." Auntie Rosa sheepishly responds, her gaze not meeting either Mum's or mine.

"Still? She's been poorly for a week?" "What's going on?" Callie moves towardswhispering into my ear.

"I don't know." "Did she see the doctor?" Mum pushes as she takes a seat next to Auntie Rosa, who awkwardly looks towards her mate and son. That feeling of dread continuing to gripalmost by the throat.

"Why ever would she see a doctor?" Auntie Rosa's laugh is highly pitched, even for her. She was hiding something.

"Since when do werewolves becill..." Mum shrugs, her brows furrowing as she searches the room... meeting my eyes on a confused glance.

"It's nothing.." Auntie Rosa shrinks into her seat, her shoulders almost coiling in on herself.

"Get her on the phone." Jaxon's aura is felt before his words are said.

"Excuse me?"

"Get her on the phone?" Jaxon demands out, his phone pointed out to Auntie Rosa as he stands in front of her. "Because I've tried her all week and she hasn't been responding." "She's just busy." Auntie Rosa shrugs out, her eyes moving at unbelievable pace as they dartet Pel between her mate and back to everybody else.

That sensation of dread grows, spreading deeper into my gut like a virus that won't guilt until it takesonce and for all. My wolf pushes forward and for

once I don't fight him. Something was troubling him and I had a reason to with Cleo! ve it was to d There are things that Cleo has said toin the past, things that I wouldn't share.
