Chapter 20 Jackson Pov

• The calming wind brushed against my fur as I raced against Simon up the mountains. I had always enjoyed running as it calmed my nerves and this time I had a bunch to let out. Recently, I haven't had the time to go for a run except during training. My responsibility as an Alpha was making it hard to stick to some of my routines. Drake had always found it weird that we chose to run during the night instead of the day but the night air gently stroking my fur was something so pleasant that always calmed me especially whenever I was feeling a surge of anger coursing through me.
• Amelia was adding to my frustrations with her constant closeness with Simon. Her face when I kissed her was screaming annoyed, as if the thought of me kissing her repulses her. I had never met a girl who didn't want me. Amelia was not willing to have me make love to her to bear our children. That girl was quite stubborn and she was pushing me to frustration. But what was making me extremely angry was the members of the council trying to force me to choose another mate and make her my Luna as if Amelia was nothing. According to my scouts, I heard some wolves in the poorer region of the city were planning a revolt as if that would make me change my mind. How stupid can they be? Amelia is here to stay. I don't know how long it is going to take to expose that bastard Eliot and his loyal dog of a brother because knowing Eliot, I am sure he is covering his tracks very well, hiding whatever dirty business he is involved in. I am just waiting for one slip-up in his step. No one was too smart, not even the scheming Eliot. The werewolf council members from different Packs wouldn't take me seriously when I told them that Eliot was up to no good but they always seemed to brush away my words, always saying that it's the power tussle that is talking but now they are all up in my business against the mate and Luna I should have as if I tell them what type of women they should sleep with whenever they go to those cheap brothel houses. What hypocrites! It seems like I should start cutting out some tongues of some wolves in the council, then that would teach them not to question the most powerful Alpha in the entire werewolf kingdom.
• "Hey, no thinking about Pack business when we are hanging out, remember?" Simon pokes my chest, snapping me out of my reverie.
