“What happened?” Uriel couldn't stop asking when he saw how Jaxon angrily threw his things. He watched him gnashing his teeth in so much madness.
Jaxon was still lacking sleep because Veronica had left him. They both do everything to search for her and discover Veronica is staying with Veron in his pack. What made him more annoyed was Veronica slept with Veron in the same room. He wanted to choke Veron until he finally stopped breathing, but he knew Veronica would be more outraged by him.
He didn't want her to get mad at him more, especially when he wanted her to forgive her. He finally realized his lessons in a complicated way. He knew Veronica would not return to his pack until he didn't change himself.
What made him more embarrassed was Veronica got mad at Ava and James, who only helped him. He was the one who needed to be blamed, but Ava informed him Veronica had decided to have a mating ceremony with Veron. That was why he didn't bother to ask the Alpha King about his intention when he invited him to come to his pack. He wanted to know the truth.
“Damn him. How dare he kiss my mate while I'm with them?” He snarled and threw the vase. He was panting. His eyes gleamed, and his beast wanted to come out from his body and control him.
“You should calm down. Don't give Veronica another reason to get mad at you. Alpha, you must learn how to control your wolf, do you want to lose her?” Uriel was the one who acted like an elder to him. Jaxon was stunned. He didn't want Veronica to get outraged at him again, but how could he ever halt himself if he was jealous?
Veronica was such a sweet woman to Veron, and she was only exclusive to him! She was his mate!
“Veronica is emotional. She thought we made her stupid. Don't do anything to add a fire to her anger towards you. Why don't you do something sweet to make her feel better? Like, buy her some chocolates. Do her some ice cream like what she always prepared for you.”
Jaxon paused. He wanted to do it for Veronica, but how? He didn't even know how to make chocolates or even ice cream! It was Veronica who always put some effort into him. He felt he was a hopeless teenager who wanted to get his crush's attention badly. He sighed. He couldn't believe he needed to learn how to cook or bake.
He didn't mind learning about it if it was only for Veronica. He coughed. His cheeks burned in embarrassment. He never felt how useless he was. Perhaps, it might be why Veronica decides to leave him so fast.
“H-How? You know how I hate to learn those things. It's not my forte!” He was such a child who continued complaining to his father. He moaned in irritation when Uriel laughed at him after hearing him say those words. He gasped, and tightened his hold to his glass, “I'm willing to learn, okay?”
“I can help you with that. I can ask someone to teach you. Alpha, if you want her to be back on you, then it's better if you treat her as your queen. Don't always use your balls whenever you feel in heat. Veronica needs an assurance that you're serious about getting her back.”
“Y-Yeah, I understand.” He paused. He looked around to see if he made a mess. He gasped when he noticed the shattered vases. “Can you ask someone to clean this mess? I don't want to see it.”
“Why don't you start cleaning your mess? Since it's you who make it.”
“I'm the Alpha, Uriel. I'm commanding you to ask an Omega to clean this mess, or else I will stab this shattered glass in your neck.”
Uriel sighed. He wasn't scared of Jaxon anymore since he already knew who he was, aside from that, he needed to teach Jaxon how to do some simple things so Veronica wouldn't think that she had another baby once they were both back to each other.
“Alpha, if you are serious about getting Veronica back, you will do anything that I want you to do. I'm only trying to help you. Seriously, I understand why Veronica easily leaves you. Do you even know how bossy you are? A pervert man who wants always to scratch his balls.” Uriel remarked that Jaxon widened his eyes in disbelief. He couldn't believe that Uriel dared talk to him that way. He might be losing his mind.
Bossy? Of course, he was the Alpha! He was the one who always ordered someone, but he worked for his pack, too. A pervert? How could it be his fault that whenever he was with Veronica, he was always in heat? He didn't think it was his fault.
“Are you bluffing?” He only asked. He didn't want to take Uriel's words seriously.
“No, I'm not. I only tell you this so you will know what's wrong with you. If I'm Veronica, I will not ever give you a chance. She had a son, and it was Morgan. She doesn't need another son who is a grown man like you. She needs a man who will stay beside her whatever might cause.” Uriel severely muttered, making Jaxon massage his nape in madness.
Uriel dared to speak the truth and didn't mind what he felt. A baby? How could it be his fault that sometimes he wanted Veronica to care for him?
“Are you fucking serious about what you have to say? Uriel, I can't believe you speak those words to me. I'm your Alpha, and you are trying to disrespect me.”
“Alpha, I'm not disrespecting you. I'm telling you this because I want you to be better for Veronica. Seriously, I don’t fucking mind if you get angry with me for being honest with you. But you need to wake up from reality. Your mate wants you to see you are serious about her. What will you do if it’s Veronica who is treating you badly? Will you get mad because she’s giving you some mixed signals?”
“Of course! I am.” Jaxon was taken aback when his lips were the one who instantly answered what Uriel had asked him. It seemed his heart wanted to be honest, even for a single time. What made me more scared? He feared Veronica might stop loving him like she always did to him.
“If you are scared to lose her, why don’t you want to do something for her? Veronica might be thinking that she is the one who will be with you until you turn old. She might be scared that you can easily throw her when it comes to Helene. Let’s be frank with each other. We know how bad you are. You sleep with them at the same time.”
“Uriel, I don’t think that’s why Veronica is so mad at me.”
“That’s one of the reasons, Alpha. You treat her like a whore even though you might be planning to make her your Luna.” Uriel sternly replied.
Jaxon was speechless. He wanted to know if it was too late to know what Veronica might think about him. He always needs to put her shoes in him even though they might not be fitted.
“Okay, I don’t want to strangle you anymore. You need to be thankful that I’m being grateful for your honest remarks. I don’t want to say this, but I want you to know I’m lucky to have you as my Beta.” He only whispered the last words, but Uriel stopped. He didn’t know what he would say, especially when it was the first time Jaxon had told him those words. He thought Jaxon might not appreciate what he always did for him, like his father had always told him.
“Alpha Jaxon, if you’re telling me those words because you want to say something nice to you, too, then you are wrong.” Uriel plastered a smirk on his lips, making Jaxon's mouth parted in disbelief. He was acting kind to him, but he even made fun of him. He was sure Uriel was laughing when he turned his back.
“Hey! What about this mess? I’m ordering you to ask an Omega to help me clean with it.” he shouted. Uriel might have finally forgotten that he wanted him to clean the mess he had created. He didn’t even know how to clean it, and he was sure it was very difficult.
“As the Alpha, you must learn what your pack members work. How will you know how difficult it is if you are only watching them? You know how the Alpha King is trying to be a dictator; don’t be like him. We don’t like a dictator Alpha but an Alpha who empathizes with his members. If you want your members to be faithful to you, you need to love them as your family, not as servants that you can order with. Think that’s your first task. I want you to finish it once I get back here.”
Jaxon was full of disbelief, how would he ever know how to clean the mess he had created? What did he need to use?
He only watched Uriel walking away from him, who he didn't bother to check his reaction.
