Knox's POV
Anger boiled in me, my wolf paced uncontrollably in my mind, shackled raised. I'd woken in this mood I could shake and now this.
" you can't be serious!" I roared, Hunter my wolf growled in my mind.
"Calm yourself Knox" Jax said coolly next to me.
Calm? Calm? Was he serious?
Everything we had worked for, trained for spilt blood, sweat over was ruined. Ruined because we hadn't met our fated ones?
"I know you boys have earned this, it's your right and my sons. But I can't change the laws of the council. If you wish to take a chosen mate.."
That was it. I lost it.
Anger boiled in my blood, my wolf growled, barely remaining in my throat.
" I will do no such thing!"
I turned and stormed out.
Chosen mate? What were our parents thinking. The moon goddess had a plan for us, I could feel it, but they wanted to throw it all away by taking a chosen one?!
I needed to get away from the feelings suffocating me. I ran into the forest and stripped quickly, forcing a shift. Hunter needed to run just as much as I did.
As soon as the shift completed Hunter of in long strides through the fires. The wind whistled through our ears and ruffled our fur. we ran until tired. I shifted back to my human form ready to head back to the pack house. Hopefully my brothers had some good news. I still couldn't shake this unsettled feeling.
I dressed back into my clothes when I reached the edge of the forest where I'd shifted before.
I rubbed my hands over my face when Kanes voice seaped into my mind "Knox? Where are you? I need to get out of here? Do you feel old having some fun?" I could hear the childish smirk in his voice, knowing exactly what he was referring to "I'll be back soon brother" I mindlinked him back.
