Harmony

The guys have given me some space after Jax’s outburst, as shocked as I was because of it. He’s never spoken to me or anyone that I have seen like that. Piling that on top of all the fucked-up shit that Ryker informed us about, it’s a bit overwhelming. The guilt pulls at me. I could have taken her with me, taken them all with me. It wouldn’t have taken that long to run and haul them out. Right? I would like to think that would have changed her. Some people just choose to go the other way. I know in my gut she is one of them. No matter what she has been through, it doesn’t change that she is just a shitty person. What puzzles me more than anything is why she would continue to talk to that man. What I wouldn't give to get my hands on those letters.

Would Jax really chain me to the bed? In any other context, that might be a good time, but stopping me from doing what needed to be done just makes me want to do it more. I could handle it. I’ve been through much worse. They would protect me, but also, I can take care of myself. I don’t like being told what to do.

James sticks his head around the door, finding me standing in front of the balcony.

“Are you ready to say Alexa yet?” he asks.

I frown, confused until it dawns on me what he means, remembering our secret word. “Not yet, but close,” I sigh and sit on the end of the bed.

“Listen, he’s just scared, and an Alpha that is scared is going to say things that he may not mean. Especially to his mate, he hasn't marked, and that he is worried about. He usually can handle any situation.” James sits beside me, picks up my hand, and plays with my fingers.

“I get it. I can see where he’s coming from but what if talking to him will help us find Cindy?”

“What if it doesn’t? What if he just plays with your emotions? And gives us nothing. Jax has to live with causing you more pain. Being a male shifter not yet bonded to the mate he wants desperately is fucking with his head. Not to mention if you get physically hurt, he will lose his shit and probably kill the guy.”

“I should talk to him. I understand. I won’t be using our code word. It’s just so frustrating. Not being able to contribute anything.”

“That’s not true. You, more than any of us, may have some insight into what makes him tick. What about her? You might know more than you think to help.”

I never thought of it that way. I was pretty young when I knew them both. Relieving the details will be challenging, but if that’s the one thing right now I could do, I’ll do it.

“Where’s Jax?”

“He’s beating the shit out of the bag downstairs. Just for the record, he feels bad.
