68 The Meeting Part 2
Brooke POV
I got very little sleep last night and it had nothing to do with Anna and Henry. After I changed my mind many times, I’ve decided to meet with Jayden today. I haven’t told Jocelyn yet but she was right. I’m afraid of a lot of things. I’m afraid she is wrong and Jayden was involved in us being taken. I’m afraid that he will finally say his words of rejection out loud to me. I’m afraid that even if he wanted me before, when he sees I have pups he won’t now. What I’m most afraid of is not knowing the answers to all the thoughts racing through my mind. Candace was right, I need answers and closure. “What if he wants you and our pups” Candace says. “Candance, I can’t think about that right now.” I pick Henry up, getting him changed and fed. As I rock him, I let myself think about what it would be like if he did accept us. A knock startles me and I push those thoughts away. “Come in”, I say, and Adrian walks in smiling. “Good morning my little ones.” I roll my eyes “good morning to you too, Adrian.” She leans down kissing my forehead before she steals Henry. I get up, taking Anna over to the bed to get her changed. “How did you sleep?” “Good, how about you” she asks. “Fine, the bed was comfortable.” “Wow, you’re a terrible liar.” “Fine, I didn’t sleep. I was thinking about what I should do about meeting with Jayden.” I sit in the chair and start to feed Anna. “So what did you decide to do?” “I’m going to meet with him.” She smiles “I’m glad, you deserve to be happy Brooke.”
“Adrian, that doesn’t mean anything. I will give him a chance to tell me if he was involved and to know the truth.” “Brooke, I hope that he accepts you and the pups. You deserve to be happy after everything that happened. You can go back to the pack and become the Luna you were meant to be.” “I doubt that will happen, besides, I’m not going anywhere without you.” She looks at me like I have ten heads. “Brooke” she starts to say and I cut her off. “That is not up for debate. If you can’t be there, then I won’t be there either. I don’t know why we are even talking about this. He is never going to accept me and
my pups. We can stay here with my sister and raise the pups.” Before she can say anymore, the door opens and Jocelyn sticks her head in. She smiles when she sees us. “I was hoping you would be awake.” She walks in, setting clothes down on the bed for me and Adrian. “Thank you”, Adrian says. “Do you want to get something for breakfast before I head to the meeting?” I take a deep breath “I would like to go with you so I can speak with Jayden.” A smile spreads across her face. “Jocelyn, this is just a conversation, nothing more.” “I understand,” she says but the smile never leaves her face.
She walks out of the room without a word and returns with my parents, who are holding my niece and nephew. “Mom, dad, and Adrian can stay with pups so I can take you to speak with Jayden. “Alright, I will take a quick shower and once I’m dressed we can go.” I grab the clothes and take a quick shower. Once I’m out, I run the brush through my hair and pull it into a ponytail. I’m so nervous but I can do this. “Yes you can. You are strong and I am with you” Candace says. I love my wolf. I head out and Jocelyn is waiting. She hugs me and I follow her downstairs. We reach a hallway and I can already scent Jayden. The most delicious scent of chocolate and raspberries invades my nostrils. I have to keep my focus. I can’t let wanting my mate cloud my judgment. Jocelyn knocks and I swear I think about running. When she steps aside and I see Jayden for the first time since we were taken, I couldn’t move if I wanted to. He truly is the most handsome man I have ever seen. He stands coming toward me but I stop him. I see hurt flash across his face but he stops. “Jo, why don’t you take Jayden and Brooke to one of the empty offices to talk”, Gabby says. “Of course” she says, and I back out of the room, keeping distance between me and Jayden. She opens an office door that is thankfully away from the Alpha’s office.
Once we are inside, Jocelyn closes the door, leaving us alone. He starts to step toward me. “Jayden please, I need space.” He steps back and looks into my eyes. “Brooke, it’s so good to see you. I thought I had lost you.” “Honestly, Jayden, I don’t even know where to start right now.” “You can say anything to me. You are my mate.” I don’t correct him. “Jayden, when we were taken by that ba**ard he said that he was given us by the Alpha.” He growls low but I continue. “Jayden, did you give us to Drayce because you didn’t want to be mated to me an omega?” “Brooke, I swear to you that I never
would betray you. You are my mate and when I find out who is responsible for what happened to you and Jocelyn, those responsible will pay with their lives.” Everything in me wants to believe this man but I have to think about my pups. He steps toward me but doesn’t touch me. “What can I do to prove to you that my love for you is real and I would never hurt you?” I remember conversations that Adrian and I had about the powers vampires have. “Give me your hand.” He smiles but looks at me confused. “I can read your blood now that I am a hybrid.”
Jayden POV
When she says she can read my blood to see the truth, I don’t hesitate. I offer her my hand and she takes it in hers. I won’t lie, the tingles I feel make me want to pull her into my arms and show her that she is mine, but I know I can’t. She brings my wrist to her mouth and when I feel her fangs bite down, I expect to feel pain, but it is far from that. If anything, it makes the longing for her worse. After a few seconds, she pulls back and wipes the blood from her lips. A tear rolls down her cheek and I can’t imagine what she saw that would make her cry. “Brooke what” is all I get out before she wraps her arms around me. I hold her breathing in her scent and kissing the top of her head. She stiffens and steps back. “I’m sorry I shouldn’t have done that.” “What do you mean? Of course you should. You are mine and I am yours, Brooke.” “You have no idea how much I wish that were true, but the fact that you had nothing to do with us being taken isn’t the only thing we need to discuss.” “Brooke, Jocelyn told me what that ba**ard did to the two of you. None of that matters to me. I love you.” “Jocelyn didn’t tell you everything and honestly it will be easier to just show you.” She heads to the door and I follow her. We reach a room and I can hear voices coming from inside. She knocks and opens the door.
I follow her in and when I look around I smile. Jennifer, Wesley, and a woman I have never seen are playing with four pups. I can tell by the woman’s scent she is a vampire. “Jayden, we are so happy to see you” Jennifer says. “It’s good to see you too. This must be Jocelyn’s pups.” “This is Wesley and this is Brooklyn” she says, pointing to the beautiful boy and girl. I’m so glad they got to meet Jocelyn’s pups. I look at the two other pups, “they are beautiful too.” The woman smiles “thank you”, Brooke
says. I turn looking at this woman, my mate. This woman, who is the other half of my soul. “Brooke, are these our pups?” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Brooke POV
I can’t have heard him right. Did he really just say our pups? I look into his eyes and I swear I see unshed tears. I walk over, taking Anna and Henry out of Adrian’s arms. I walk back toward him. “This is Anna and Henry.” He reaches out without a word, taking Anna out of my arms. “Hello sweet girl, I’m your daddy.” I can’t stop the tears from flowing. He just claimed my pups as his own. He leans and kisses Henry. “I’m your daddy too, big guy.” “Jayden”, I start to say and this time he presses his lips to mine. I hear the door click and when he pulls back we’re alone. “You are my mate and Luna. These are our pups. Do you understand me, Brooke?” “I can’t believe this is happening. I prayed so many nights when we were in that cell that what he said wasn’t true and one day you would find me. I’m so happy that you did. I love you, Jayden.” “I love you Brooke. I, Jayden Marcus Black, accept you, Brooke Isabelle Curtis, as my mate and Luna.” I place my free hand on his face. “I, Brooke Isabelle Curtis, accept you, Jayden Marcus Black, as my mate and Alpha.” I feel the bond start to form and I still can’t believe this is happening.
“Jayden, I should have said this before you accepted me, but I want Adrian to be part of our pack. She is the only reason I’m alive and our pups are safe.” “Of course, you are my Luna and for what she has done she is important to both of us. She will be your personal security if she agrees.” “Thank you, Jayden. I guess you should go back to your meeting with the Alphas.” “No, we should go to the meeting. Do you think your parents will keep the pups a little bit longer so you can attend the meeting?” “I’m sure we won’t have to twist their arms.” He chuckles “I’m sure you’re right. I can’t wait to spend time with all of you.” “Jayden, how do you think your father is going to feel about all of this?” “Honestly, Brooke, he can accept it or he can leave.” “Jayden, you don’t think that he had anything to do with us being taken do you?” “I wish I knew Brooke. All I can say is that if he did he will pay with his life.” “Jayden” I start to say and he stops me. “He is no father of mine if he did that to you and your sister.
Now let’s go find your parents and get to that meeting.” I know he says that but it’s still his father. I lead him to my parent’s room and when we get inside, my parents are smiling from ear to ear. Adrian has a look like I told you so on her face. I roll my eyes. Jayden lays Anna down and heads for Adrian. She stands and he wraps her in a hug. “Thank you for saving Brooke and my pups.” “You don’t have to thank me, she is my sister and now you are my family too.” He pulls back “we would like you to become a part of the Onyx Moon pack and I would like you to be my Luna’s protector.” “I accept and I will protect you all with my life.”
We kiss the pups and head back to the Alpha’s office. We knock and walk in hand and hand. Jocelyn jumps up as soon as she sees us. She wraps me in a hug. “I’m so happy for you Brooke.” “Thank you, Jocelyn, for convincing me to speak to Jayden.” She pulls back and smiles. She hugs Jayden before we take a seat. Gabby smiles at us and Lake nods. “I think it’s time we figure out a plan to deal with the coven.”
Drayce POV
The phone on my desk rings. I expect it to be Joseph but it’s not. “Drayce, it’s Prudence.” I smile “Prudence I didn’t expect to hear from you so soon. I hope you have good news for me.” “I’m afraid not. I will not be involved with any plan against the Scarlett Rose pack and Tabitha.” She doesn’t even give me a chance to ask why and the line goes dead. What the f**k I scream? I will have what is owed to me. The phone rings again and this time it is Joseph. “What is happening Joseph?” He tells me about Jocelyn coming to the pack. “Was she still pregnant?” “No, she wasn’t and she was with the Alphas of the Scarlett Rose pack.” “I want what belongs to me Joseph. You had better find a way to get her back to me or the attack that happened to those two guards will be the least of your worries.” I slam the phone down and sit in my chair. If Prudence won’t help me, I will find a witch that will.
