Chapter 36 Jackson Pov

• I can't believe it's been years since I last visited them, I guess being the most powerful Alpha made me miss my monthly visits. I miss you guys so much and I wish you were here. I know that Simon misses you two even though he is still upset with Dad but I know that one day, he will come around.
• I dusted the grave of my parents with my gloved hand and gently placed the flowers on it. Sitting down there, I talked to them as if they were in front of me. I have always been close to my parents. If not for my father, I wouldn't have been the successful Alpha that I am today. His death was so sudden and came as a shock to me. The former Pack doctor ruled it as stress but I have never seen someone who was stressed out and vomited blood. I knew that he was poisoned but I didn't have enough evidence to know who was responsible for his demise. My mother couldn't stay without her fated mate making her sink into depression but no matter how depressed and drunk she was, her responsibilities as a mother never failed in accomplishing them. She took care of us the best way that she could but she couldn't last more than a year before she joined my father and I know that they are in a better place right now. I was the one who raised Simon together with Drake, we both formed a protective shield for him. While he was doing the job of protecting Athena from prying and gazing eyes. It was just the four of us against the world when the Councilmen did everything they could for me not to be chosen as the Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack, I thought that they would leave me but they stood by me and fought back saying that I was the rightful person.
• I'm not nobody that the Councilmen were trying to appoint someone that they could manipulate into doing their dirty deeds. At first, I wasn't thrilled about being the Alpha, I tried to run away from my responsibilities but when I remember my father's fearless face even in time of his death, he was still one of the greatest Alpha's this werewolf community has had. That pushed me not to let his death be in vain. If I had let those councilmen have their way, by giving up on being an Alpha and running away, my father would never have been happy with me so I have to do the needful and take up the role of an Alpha, leading my Pack to victory if we were ever attacked. The Councilmen knew not to mess with me. They have used so many tactics against me but they always fail. I know that my mom would love Amelia. Both of them have similar qualities, they are both stubborn and not afraid to speak up the truth. It was so sad that they were not here right now but I would make sure that I would keep my father's wishes and get married especially now that I have found my mate. Even though she can't feel the bond, I will guide her every step of the way and I will make sure that I will keep Athena out of trouble.
