"Are you ready?" Jaxson asks turning away from the picture to look me in the eye. I can't help but feel a flush of heat looking at him dressed in black sweats with a tight black shirt showing off his impressive chest. My breath catches as I see him eyeing my outfit in the same way I'm checking him out, but as if he hears my inner thoughts he decides to glare at me. It should be scary to have him glaring at me but it isn’t. Oh no, it has a different kind of affect altogether.

"Are you going to answer? Or have you forgotten the English language since we last met lass?" He asks.

"Don't be a jackass already, let’s go," I say watching as he laughs deeply as he replies.

"No one’s called me a jackass in a long time. It almost seems comical coming from someone like you." My anger burns as he continues to laugh and Alex clears her throat coming up behind me.

"Jaxson, this is Alex," I introduce her through gritted teeth, while he turns on a charming smile.

"Hello Alex, it's nice to meet you." He says politely, no sign of the previous rude Jaxson. My jaw drops open before I grit my teeth in annoyance. Alex ,he is nice too?

"Likewise," Alex says winking at me.

"Let’s go," I repeat as I walk past Alex, who pulls me into a hug before I can escape.

"There is no way that man doesn't want to do naughty things with you," she whispers.

I shake my head at her as she let’s go of me and I follow Jaxson out to his car.

"So how is Freddy?" I ask when he starts driving for small talk.

"Being Freddy. He talks about you a lot. I think you have an admirer." Jaxson smirks at me.

"He is a sweet boy." I smile thinking of the little wolf.

"Yes but slowly becoming a handful. His interest in girls is a new one." He laughs and I can't but join in.

"I think that's normal for his age," I say.

"So tell me, lass, are you looking forward to me showing you how to protect yourself?" He asks me.

"I already know how to. So no, this is a waste of time," I tell him.

"No, it's not. You've put yourself in a dangerous world. I promised Freddy I would make sure you are safe, so here we are." He says, acting like it’s worse thing in the world. I cross my arms ignoring him to look out the window, not liking his asshole behaviour. For one moment I thought we could get along and then he ruins it.
