What do you do or say when you get such a revelation? How do you react to that kind of information?
“You’ll have to repeat that” I all but whisper.
Maybe I hadn’t heard him right. Despite being a werewolf, it was still possible to mishear things.
He sighs. “Jax isn’t my biological son”
I just stare at him. My mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water. My mind unable to form a single sentence.
I came here prepared to shock him. We hadn’t made any long term plans and we definitely hadn’t planned on having a baby. So I was sure that he would be astonished by the news. Instead the tables have been turned and I am the one in shock.
“Say something” he pleads.
I can see vulnerability there. Something that I would never have associated with Sebastian Ashford.
“How?” That's the only word that comes out of my mouth. The only one I can form.
He even looks more vulnerable as he prepares to let me in on this secret. Something I’m sure not many people know.
“I take my vows to the goddess very seriously so even though I didn’t love Miranda I knew I couldn’t cheat on her. Of course we slept together whenever the need arose but that was the extent of our relationship” he began.
The green monster awakes within me and I glare at him. I didn’t want to be reminded that he was once involved with Miranda.
Especially not in the biblical sense. The thought that he has ever touched anyone but me brings out the possessive side of me. A side I didn’t even know I had.
He smirks knowing the reason why I was glaring and then he continues.
“Almost a year to our first anniversary, she told me that she was pregnant and of course I had no problem with that, no reason to doubt. I knew I wanted children, so for the first time since I felt the bond with my fated mate shatter, I was happy. I was hopeful” he said.
“Jax was born and I fell in love with him the moment he was placed in my arms. He was perfect and he was my son. I didn’t love Miranda and she didn’t seem like it bothered her but I loved Jax with my whole heart. I remained faithful but I guess Miranda didn’t get that particular fucking memo”
I see the anger as it starts rising within him. Hot burning anger.
“What happened?” I asked.
“She told me that she was going on a girl’s trip and being the mate I was, I paid for everything. Imagine my shock when I saw her kissing another man in the same restaurant I was holding a business meeting. she didn’t see me and I didn’t mention it. Continued pretending that I believed she was on her mini vacation”
He may not have loved her but she betrayed. That’s a big fucking for an alpha male. That kind of disrespect is heard to take in.
“I had my P.I dig into her activities and past. I needed to know whether it was something that only happened recently or something that has been happening.”
“What did you find out?” I ask but deep down I already knew.
“She had been cheating on me from the beginning of our mating. She didn’t even wait a week after we had concluded the mating ceremony before she was accepting other men into her bed. Given everything we found out, doubts about Jax parentage started setting in. She was cheating so there was a possibility that Jax wasn’t mine”
