Little One

Paige's heart pounded she tried to look as natural as she could as she rushed to the bathroom. It's empty thankfully. She went to the sink and splashed her hands and face lightly with water to calm herself.

Paige looked up into the mirror and reminded herself that she was safe and with Jaxson. He wouldn't let any harm come to her she hoped that he wouldn't want her me anymore. Paige had always hoped that he would find his mate and come to forget about her. She has run and changed Cities many times for over a year now hiding from him and now she is face to face with him once again.

Should she run again, leave here, leave Jaxson, cupcake and Axel. She didn't think she could though. Maybe if she just makes up an excuse and tells Jaxson that she had to go home.

Paige collected her thoughts and walked out of the bathroom and there he is. He's tall and muscular body leaned against the wall. He had to of been waiting for her.

"Little one I missed you, surely we should catch up. I know you miss me too".

He grabs her arm and pulls her towards the exit. His grip could shatter her bones in her arm it was that tight.

She had started to pull her arm back, looking around for help. Anyone who she saw lowered their head as if they hadn't seen anything. She was on her own. Her heart panicked as she tried to break free from his grip.

"Son, calm yourself. Is that you Paige?".

Paige heard a loud and familiar voice in front of her. She smiled at her saviour.

"Yes, it's me CEO Salvator".

"Good good, the main hall is this way. You look stunning my dear. I have missed you".

Mark lets go and CEO Salvator leads me to his table. I hold on to Mr Salvator until I see Jaxson. Jaxson walks up to us visibly worried about her. She rubs her wrist and smiled to let him know that she was ok.

"I was just about to go looking for you".

Jaxson then puts his arm around my waist his strength in his arms gives me the courage and I feel safe again.

"CEO Salvator". Jaxson shakes his hand formally.

"I'm not CEO anymore, the company is now in my son Mark's capable hands."

He then pats his son's shoulders.

"Yes, of course, we have met briefly before". Jaxson gave a small nod in Marks direction.

"Are you and Paige an item?". Mark looked straight at Jaxson, this is what he really wanted to know.

"Yes, do you know my lovely girlfriend?".

Jaxson smiled and pulled her closer kissing her temple. She heard a low growl, no doubt it was from Mark. She kept her head lowered, she has heard his nasty growls before and knew what they meant.

"Yes, she was my P.A for many years, I had hoped she and Mark would work together. I also hoped she would be my granddaughter in law one day. Unfortunately it didn't work out that way". Ceo Salvator interrupted to cut the tension between the two.

"Lucky for me then". Jaxson says and smirks at Mark. There is another growl from Mark. Paige wondered if Jaxson could hear him too or was she remembering the past. Does he know about werewolves she wondered?

The MC goes to the stage and announces dinner. We take our seats which happens to all be at the same table. It's awkward, she can feel Mark staring so she keeps her head lowered. Jaxson holds her hand and rubs the back of it, he lifts her head to look at him.

"We will head home after this ok. I just need to buy something first". Jaxson reassured her and gave me another breathtaking smile.

"Ok Jaxson".

Paige then keeps her head towards the stage. The auction begins and there are plenty of expensive items and lots of bidding going on. She was still doing her best at ignoring Mark and his intense staring.

Next, they auctioned a diamond, she couldn't understand all the terms but its beautiful.

"1 million". Jaxson shouts out.

"2 million". Mark shouts.

"5 million".

"8 million".

They go back and forth neither seeming to want to back down.

"1 billion". Jaxson said.

Mark goes to shout out again but Mr Salvator grabs his arm to stop him.

"Leave this, do not continue to bid against CEO Jaxson. We are friends that will do business". Mr Salvator tries to calm the situation.

Mark huffed but did not continue to bid.

Thankfully that was it and we could leave now Jaxson had bid and won.

"Sold. Please see the front desk before you leave to complete your purchase." The MC was delighted at the final price and smiled at our table.

"Ready to go beautiful?". Jaxson grabbed her hand and helped her to stand.

"Yes definitely".

He leads us out and she takes her first deep breath since she had seen Mark earlier that evening.

"I'll be quick to complete everything. Why don't you keep warm in the car".

Paige took the keys Jaxson offered.

"Thanks my feet are killing me". She was relieved that she didn't have to stand about any longer.

She went outside and felt like she could finally breathe again, the cold fresh air hits her. Away from Mark's stares and hostility again she felt free. Looking around she forgot where they parked.

Walking through the cars she found it eventually, there are so many Bentley's. Thankfully Jaxson's Bentley has cupcakes stuffed toy Pikachu in the back seat or she might never have found it.

"Little one!".

Paige froze when she heard Marks voice, he calls her the nickname he gave her and it sends chills up her spine at the memory of the last few times they were together. She wanted to run but her feet were rooted to the ground. He was a werewolf where could she run, she wouldn't get far even if she could run away. She could only try to stall for time until Jaxson arrived.
