Chapter 7
Jaxon gazed at Charles who instantly excused himself from the group of newbies he was training before. He knew Jaxon’s anger towards Clara for what she did to Rowena but was grateful that his brother controlled it because of him. Whereas when he reached his brother, he understood the reason for the confusion.
“Dinner?” Jaxon asked with raised brows. Until Rowena returned, he was determined to keep Alice company by having breakfast and dinner with her. Since breakfast turns to brunch because of their morning workouts, two meals a day was perfect for him.
“Sorry, it had been arranged a week ago. I am yet to handover the program of activities I was working with before. Alpha Zumla and his Luna would be dining with us for a business collaboration.”
Jaxon realized that he would not be able to spend time with Alice as he had wanted but then again, he could inform Alice when he goes for breakfast that he would have an early supper before attending the dinner. What mattered was his presence at the dinner and not the food.
“Okay,” Jaxon agreed. He decided to spend time with Charles at the pack office later to plan towards all the pending activities. He was also planning to invest all the profits made during his work in Canada into the pack’s business to help it to grow better.
Clara was not used to being ignored. Since Jaxon had not answered, she was displeased but forced a smile before drawing closer and asking again, “does it mean I can attend?”
Jaxon looked at Charles and said, “take care of your girl.” There was irritation in his voice which made Clara frown. She was used to having men’s attention but Jaxon was not even sparing her a glance which made her self-conscious, whereas she knew that she looked better than before. Charles was
quite disappointed by Clara’s behavior. How could she be flirting with his elder brother? Gazing at her with a displeased look, he asked,
“Clara, I already said you could come so why are you asking my brother?”
Clara’s face reddened with shame by Charles’s displeased gaze. How could he catch through her actions so fast? She needed. to be careful. Though she wanted the Luna title, if she got Charles offended, she might not be allowed into the pack house again and that would ruin her chances of winning Jaxon over. Putting on a pitiful look, she apologized, saying,
“I’m sorry, I did not mean to get you upset. I just wanted to be sure that my presence was welcome by the whole family.”
Jaxon went to take over the training, whereas Charles was remorse, feeling that he had been too hard on Clara. He leaned in to her and said. “You should rather be thinking about how to make yourself the most beautiful girl at the dinner?
He loved her beautiful looks and the fact that it all belonged to him and other men could only look on with envy. The only thing that confused him a little was how his brother could have such bad taste in his choice of a woman and accept at wretched omega like Rowena.
“You don’t have a problem,” Clara said coquettishly but Jaxon hated for bad examples to be set during training. Whiles. others were working hard, some of them were just engrossed in a love chat. How discouraging.
“Training continues!” Jaxon yelled. Everyone was sturdy including Clara, who felt that he was referring to her. She was already uncomfortable by his coldness.
During dinner time, Charles went to bring Clara whiles Jaxon welcomed the guests. By the time Charles returned with Clara, everyone else was seated. Clara’s eyes lit at the sight of Jaxon. He looked
so handsome in his black suit and the way he tied his hair in a bun. Jaxon’s hair was little long, resting around his neck. Whenever, he dressed formally, he would hold it in a bun, making it look as if it was short. It made hi m look s**y.
Clara was not looking bad herself. She knew how to use the curves she was endowed with, exposing them through the black body con dress she wore, which was bare back. There was a blue diamond necklace around her neck which Charles had given her when she turned 17. It matched her blue eyes perfectly. Sadly, everyone was already seated, seemingly engrossed in some interesting discussion and not paying her the attention she craved.

The old Alpha did not attend the dinner, leaving Jaxon to unearth his authority. Jaxon was a perfect host, striking only relevant conversations. He spoke to Alpha Zumla’s Luna, Zenna with profound respect and politeness.
“Luna Zenna, I heard that you have a large coffee farm.”
Luna Zenna beamed. She was in her middle age, just like her husband and was filled with delight for Jaxon because of how he carried himself. It reminded her a lot about Alpha Clinton himself, except that Jaxon seemed tougher and more ruthless than his father.
“You have your facts right.” novelbin
“So, what if we partner?” Jaxon laid his request on the table. Charles did not have to explain anything. After the brief meeting they had in Jaxon’s office, the man understood everything more quickly than he thought. He never forgot the affairs of the pack business when he was away, only catching up on the level they had gotten.
“You want to go into coffee business?” Luna Zenna asked with shock. She had proposed it before but Charles was not interested. Whereas, Jaxon’s priorities were different.
“Well. you can train some of our people and in return, I will give you all the financial support. We can also have the factory to process the coffee seed right here in the snow mountain pack,” Jaxon politely went on to explain. Luna Zenna understood that having the factory in the snow mountain pack meant that her people would be flooding in here to have their coffee processed, which would even create more opportunities for cross mating. She was excited with this idea but looking at her plate and that of Jaxon, she was slightly uneasy, feeling like she ate too much.
“I like this idea Alpha Jaxon but you have not touched your food.”
“I am not hungry.” Jaxon smiled and said, recalling how he ate with Alice. It was just like when his mother was alive. He was certain that this food would not taste as great as what Alice prepared for him and he was so full already. Charles had been quiet for a while, chiming in,
“My brother has not eaten ever since his return from Canada.”
Jaxon shook his head. How could Charles know about his arrangements? He would only speak demeaning things about Alice. “I have eaten more than you have ever since I returned,” Jaxon contradicted.
“How come I never saw you?” Charles frowned and asked, surprised by Jaxon’s response. There was no need to pretend. They were brothers.
“Because I have someone who cooks for me. She takes very good care of me,” Jaxon revealed but did not add a name to it, leaving everyone in suspense but Charles was also happy that Jaxon must have found someone and would soon get over
Rowena
Clara on the other hand had a dissatisfied look on her face. Who dared to double cross her? She would teach the girl a bitter lesson. Her cooking skills weren’t so good since she never practiced much, relying on her maids. However, since it required pleasing Jaxon to get the Luna position, she was ready to sharpen it.
“If you need someone to cook for you, I will be glad to do that. I’m quite good at it,” Clara chipped in. Charles frowned emphatically, asking,
“Hey, you have never even cooked for me before and you want to cook for my brother?” Jealousy coated his innocent words. Whereas, Jaxon only ignored the two people. He had already stomached so much and did not want to lose it. He looked at the Alpha sitting next to the middle-aged woman in front of him.
“Alpha Zumla. I think we can head to my office to sign this partnership after dinner.”
“That sounds good to me, Alpha Jaxon but if I may ask, do you have a Luna yet? I have a woman who would match your status,” he said with a smile, the atmosphere tensed.
