Two hours later, Jax was out of patience.

After the ceremony, the guests had been escorted back into the main house where an elaborate dinner was to be held. It had brought him a sort of primal satisfaction to see their claim on her, and it had been a struggle not to pick her up and carry her away so the three of them could be alone. He’d wanted to say fuck the dinner, but the way Serra’s face lit up when she had learned what his mother had planned for them had made him bite back his impatience.

He and Archer had put their shirts back on, resigned to the fact they would have to wait to get Serra alone. Forced to be social, Jax had been pleased to watch Serra enjoy herself throughout the meal, and talking to the guests after they were done eating. He knew she was usually uneasy around strangers and in large crowds, but she seemed to do well enough as long as he or Archer remained by her side.

They had introduced Serra to many of the guests she didn’t know, but there were some that she had met before her mother had taken her away from them. Jax’s youngest brother, Connor, had been thrilled to see her again, and it warmed his heart by the way she seemed at ease with his family. He had also introduced her to Connor’s best friend, Simon. It made Jax proud that Connor had befriended the young man he and Archer had helped gain entry into the Academy only months ago.

Simon and his little sister had been found in the badlands by their friend Alexis and her four Dragon Warrior mates. When they discovered the two teens were being abused by their father, Alexis had sent the teens to Jax and Archer, who had made sure they found a new home within the Alliance. Like it had been with Jax and Archer when they were young, Connor had instantly formed a friendship with Simon, and the two were practically inseparable now. When they came of age, Jax had no doubt that Connor and Simon would make a powerful elite pair.

Marissa, Simon’s sister, was also a guest, and Jax knew his mother had taken an interest in ensuring the youngster had found happiness after suffering such an awful childhood. The young girl seemed to blossom now that she had gotten over her initial fear of the Alliance. It made Jax angry that so many people in the badlands misunderstood the Alliance and what they stood for. He blamed the rebels for that. They spread their lies and caused problems out in the areas the Alliance didn’t monitor closely.

But that wasn’t something Jax wanted to think about tonight.

Now, Jax was sitting back in his chair as both of his fathers’ voices drolled on about something or other. He tuned them out, watching Archer dance with their chosen, loving the way her body moved in that dress that looked like it had been painted on her.
