Chapter 5 Fifth Chapter.

"Unfortunately, my good buddy has died away. Sadly, he went away while we were still in our youth. Oh, so there is something that we are both familiar with or knowledgeable with. In addition to this, once I had lost my girlfriend for such a significant amount of time, I was unable to find her again.

Mera couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for him as she took in his gloomy demeanour. She could see that he was going through a difficult time. Nobody could really understand the agony of losing a life partner unless they had gone through something similar themselves at some point in their lives. "I apologise."

The only thing he did in return was give a little shrug. You and jaxson, when considered together, make even less sense than you did before. "Hmm," she said. If the two of you are not really meant to be together, then this suggests that he went with a headstrong individual. It has to be love; there is no other explanation.

"Huh." In order to prevent herself from snorting, Mera bit her lower lip. Love? It doesn't seem likely to me. jaxson was hellbent on fucking her due to the fact that she hadn't responded to his charm, and it was evident that his ego couldn't handle the impact. Nothing else can account for why he was so eager to finish the task. As for the factors contributing to his desire to make her his partner, the only thing that made sense to her was that he was attempting to establish some type of connection with her father. She couldn't see why he would do that.

Ken responded, "When is the mating ceremony scheduled to take place?"

Oh, there would be zero rites associated with romance at all. jaxson was quick to have it over with because her father insisted on their having one before he would hand her over completely-simply so that he had an excuse to have a get-together with all of his supporters and seem like the big man. jaxson was anxious to get it over with because her father insisted on their having one before he would give her over completely. Due to the fact that jaxson's father insisted on them being one before he would entirely give her over, she was keen to get it over with as quickly as possible. She wouldn't give someone the time of day if they weren't someone she cared about or even genuinely liked, much less considered marrying. Then there was the issue of jaxson being a control freak with an unhealthy obsession; she learned this information via jaxson's dealings with his enforcers, all of whom dreaded him. She had the idea that other people did not have the same level of dread for him as she had. It appeared as if he had some kind of influence over them, as if he knew all of their deepest, darkest secrets or something along those lines. It seemed as though he knew all there was to know about them.

In addition to this, if the allegations about jaxson are accurate, he gets his kicks out of inflicting women's suffering, and this is something that you should be aware of. She had no issue believing that, particularly when she considered the fact that he had left his mark on her while they were in the middle of a nightclub. This made it much easier for her to accept the truth. She had expected him to beat her after she had almost crushed his testicles with her hand in an act of revenge, but when he could finally stand and had finished panting, he merely smirked at her. After she had practically crushed his testicles with her hand in an act of vengeance, The response he gave her took her by surprise. Even though he gave her a menacing look that appeared to vow revenge, he did not stop her from leaving. He only watched as she walked away. It would seem that he was attempting to get some more time for himself.

In her efforts to escape the mating, she went to see her father as her first stop. Due to the fact that he was so intent on securing the partnership, she did not get any aid from that source. Her next objective should have been to become her Alpha, but since her father was already in that position, she was unable to pursue that path. It is likely that she will make an effort to distance herself from the group; nevertheless, doing so would not improve the situation that she is now in. Since she is a lone wolf without any protection, pack, or territory, she would be an easy target for jaxson to capture, and it is probable that he would be the one to take her.

The only other family she had who was still alive was her uncle, who had been her mother's youngest brother until she passed away. However, she hadn't seen him in ten years since he had gone on to mate with another pack by that time and she hadn't been able to track him down. Her plan was to inquire of him whether or not he would broach the subject of her joining the pack with his Alpha; nevertheless, she didn't have high hopes that this tactic would be successful. She was a healer, but she was also a latent, and she did not believe that any Alpha would be very interested in adopting a latent wolf. She was a healer, but she also had latent abilities. The problem was that even if the Alpha did take her in, would he be willing to battle jaxson if he came to bring her back, infuriated because he had been thwarted in a manner that only a control freak could be?

It occurred to her that she could tell Ken that she detested jaxson even more than he did, but she chose not to. She reasoned that there were times when it was better to stay with the devil you knew, and this particular devil had the potential to be even more nasty than jaxson. Consequently, she opted against telling Ken that she disliked jaxson even more than he did. Instead of replying to his question, she got herself comfortable on the seat, crossed her legs in a pose similar to yoga, and started drinking the coffee that Smiley had brought over for her rather than giving him an answer.

"Does your lack of response mean that you haven't decided on a time yet?"

Oh, I thought I had already responded to it! It's probably because you have nothing to do with the reason why it happened in the first place.

He was suddenly conscious of a smile appearing on the outside corners of his lips. You must be very thrilled about the possibility of rapidly climbing the ranks of the pack to eventually become the Alpha Female.

Due to the manner in which he was speaking, she could not help but give him a scowling look. "Have you only ever encountered ambitious women in positions of power?"

He gave a shrug in response. "Isn't it the stuff that every wolf hen fantasises about?"

"Oh yes, and I couldn't be more thrilled about the upcoming opportunity," the keynote speaker said.

The fact that he liked the sarcastic aspect of her personality came as somewhat of a shock to him. "I was under the impression that you were a healer."

"I am."

"In most cases, they have gentle dispositions." "I am completely speechless."

"I've heard that you're quite a powerful healer."

That was indeed her. There were three quite different types of people who worked in the healing profession. Some were able to work on an emotional level, easing people's emotional wounds and assisting them in the healing process. Some people were able to take on the aches and pains of others, which had a calming effect similar to that of a sedative and aided in the process of getting well more quickly. Then there are those like Mera who can cure physical wounds in a matter of minutes, ensuring that the patient will make a complete recovery, whatever the severity of their condition.

"Do you tend to sit in strange positions all the time?"

"You should just count your blessings that I'm not sitting on one of the stools at your kitchen island right now. You will find me sitting in the same spot the vast majority of the time whenever I am in the kitchen. It's conceivable that it was because it brought back memories of when her mother used to seat her there as they cooked together, but it's also possible that it wasn't because of that reason at all.

He asked the question with a devilish smirk that he knew was meant to be provocative and queried, "What about in the bedroom?" "What about in there?" "Do you find yourself in some strange positions as well?"

"It is dependent on whether or not the male is able to successfully pin me down."
