“Jackson,” she called to him again. Once more, she reached a hand to him, touching his shoulder. But he pulled away.

His shoulders slumped forward, and she could hear that he was crying. Selene quickly moved around him. When she saw his face, his tear-stained face, her heart was gripped tightly. Her dream floated to the surface of her mind again.

Jackson’s pained expression as she had pulled away from him, his eyes begging her to stay with him. To let him keep her safe from the dangers, she didn’t know about. From Alexander. Just before Alexander killed her.

Selene closed her eyes, shoving away the dream and focusing on reality. She put her hands on either side of his face.

“Jackson,” she said, trying to get him to look at her. “Baby, please look at me.”

He lifted his gaze slowly, his pale blue eyes glistening with wetness. Selene smiled softly at him as her eyes were filled once more with tears.

“I could never forget you, Jackson. Never.”

Jackson pulled her tightly to his chest, holding her as though she would disappear if he didn’t keep her as close to him as possible.

“I’m sorry…” he whispered again. “I just wanted to create some distance between you, that’s all.”

“Ssshhh…” Selene cooed, running her fingers through his hair, comforting him.

“I swear, I didn’t mean to hurt you or anyone,” he said sadly, pulling away just enough so they could face each other. “I didn’t attack him, and I didn’t know about the arrow, really. But, I wasn’t lying about being scared for my life. I truly thought I might never see you again.”

He ran his thumb over her lower lip.

“I would do anything to get back to you, Selene, anything.”

Selene looked into his eyes and knew he meant it.

“I understand,” she smiled at him. Then, reaching her hand behind his head, she pulled him down towards her, kissing him gently.

She wrapped her arms around him and held him close.

Selene didn’t like that he had lied. But he had no way of knowing how she would react, that she would blame Galen the way she had. Jackson had made a mistake, but he was admitting it. So

Selene needed to admit her mistakes as well.

Jackson held her and kissed her head softly.. Then, while whispering ungrateful words of thanks and empty apologies, he smiled to himself, much too wide.

They held hands and walked close as Jackson praised Selene for how understanding she had been. She smiled and listened.

Though she couldn’t help but feel like nothing had truly been resolved. Jackson had apologized. He had tried to explain. Yet, when she thought for more than a moment about what had been said, she felt uneasy.

Selene had tried, several times, to ask a question about his reasoning. She had tried to clarify what he had told her previously to what she knew now. Each time Jackson would get so upset he couldn’t stop apologizing. He would tell her how worried he had been, and she would comfort him.

But she couldn’t remember getting an actual answer.

Selene wondered if she should try again. She looked up at Jackson as they walked. The sun was shining brightly through the trees above them, highlighting him in a dazzling aura of warmth. She smiled and looked away, chiding herself for suspecting him. Pushing her concerns back to the recesses of her mind.

In the distance, she could see the training grounds coming back into view. Their brief walk through the woods was coming to an end. She sighed sadly.

“What are you thinking so hard about?” Jackson asked, a smile in his voice.

“Just that I was enjoying my time with you,” she smiled back.

“Why does that sound past tense?” he asked. “I’m free for you all day.”

She laughed, “but I am not. I need to get to the training grounds.”

“For what?” Jackson’s voice was steady, a well-practiced control of his tone.

“Today is my first day of training with Alpha Alexander,” Selene replied.

“Isn’t Saul doing that now?” Jackson asked, clenching his jaw.

Selene looked back up at him. He smiled, his warmth pouring into her. But for just a moment, she thought she saw a flicker of something else. Something dark, angry.

“It is my responsibility, my assignment,” Selene stated. “If Saul takes my place, Winter has broken their word.”

“Wasn’t it Alpha Wyatt that changed the assignment?” Jackson asked. “Isn’t his word, Winter’s word?”

Selene stopped walking. She turned to face Jackson.

“I’m not sure why my father asked Saul to train Alpha Alexander, but it was obviously a mistake,” she answered, looking at him carefully. “The agreement that was made stipulated the top-ranked Berserker would train Alpha Alexander. So unless Saul challenges me and wins, that is still my role.”

Jackson blinked and then laughed. “I’m sorry, I wasn’t trying to make you angry. I understand. I just thought it had changed. That was all.”

Selene furrowed her brows. “How did you even know about it?”

“I must have heard it on the training grounds earlier.”

“Saul said he was only asked last night…” she questioned.

Jackson shrugged his shoulders. “Gossip gets around.”

Selene felt more he wasn’t saying, but they had argued enough today. She let it go.

“Still,” he said, “wouldn’t you rather spend the day with me?”

Jackson squeezed her hand playfully. Selene looked up at him and smiled brightly.

“How could I not?”

“Then play hooky,” he offered, a devilish grin on his face, “you just got out of the hospital. They’ll understand if you put it off another day.”

Selene laughed; Jackson’s playful voice was comforting. Reminding her of all the time they shared together before her life got so complicated. It was a tempting offer.

“I wish I could,” she sighed. Jackson looked away. “It has already been put off so many times. I can’t be selfish.”

Jackson stared out into the trees, Selene knew he was disappointed, but she couldn’t skip out on her duties to play. Deep down, he knew and understood that. She was sure of it.

Selene looked up; the sun was already high in the sky. She was running late. But, she still needed to warm up before Alexander arrived.

Standing on her tiptoes, she turned and kissed Jackson’s cheek.

“I have to go,” she smiled. Selene took a step forward, almost stumbling as his hand pulled her back.

He wrapped his arms around her, hugging her from behind, and set his chin on her shoulder.

“Why are you in such a rush,” he said sweetly into her ear, “not even a proper goodbye.”

Selene laughed.

“I feel like we haven’t had much quality time together lately,” he said.

“What do you mean?” she asked, remembering all the time they had spent together in the past few weeks since she returned from Summer.

“I miss you,” he whispered against her throat, kissing her softly.

Selene closed her eyes, feeling the warmth of his lips against her sensitive throat. It felt good, his touch, his kiss. It was comforting.

But she needed to go. Alexander would be waiting.

Selene leaned away from him, turning to look him in the eyes.

“I need to go warm up before training,” she said honestly.

“Oh,” he said with a smirk, “is that it?”

Jackson lifted his chin and spun her around to face him; he placed his hands firmly on her hips and gave her a mischievous grin. Then, turning her once more, he backed her up until she was pressed lightly against a tree. He leaned in close.

“I can warm you up,” he whispered, hovering just above her mouth.

Without giving her a chance to respond, his mouth covered hers in a rough but fervent kiss. His mouth opened just enough for his teeth to graze her bottom lip, sending an exhilarating shudder over her.

She moaned softly against his mouth. His tongue begged entrance, and she allowed him without hesitation. Their tongues tangled together, tasting each other, and fighting for dominance.

Selene felt her body heating up, pleasure rolling over her as her heart pumped faster and faster. Then, when the need for air overtook them, she pulled away, gasping. Jackson’s greedy eyes flashed at her with an intensity that excited her.

Jackson smiled to himself as he sensed her enthusiasm building.

Barely taking a breath, he began to trail kisses down her throat, dragging gasps and soft moans from her.

As his mouth danced along her collar bone, she drew a ragged breath. The feeling of his soft lips against the tender flesh sent flows of pleasure down to her very core, pulling out of her a desperate whimper as his mouth moved away.

The embarrassing sound that had escaped her lips woke her from her stupor long enough to realize that they were in an open area. Anyone could walk along this path at any moment.

“Jacka–ah…” she tried to speak, interrupted by a soft moan as Jackson’s warm tongue ran over her collarbone once more.

Selene bit her bottom lip; as much as she enjoyed these activities, she knew they needed to stop.

Jackson squeezed her hips tightly as he pushed himself against her.

She gasped.

“Jackson…” she gasped out. “Jackson, we need to stop.”

He did not respond to her words. Instead, he ground himself even more assertively against her, pinning her to the tree with his lower half. An unmistakable hardness rubbed against her through the thin fabric of their clothing.

Selene’s back arched reflexively as she felt him, all of him.. An aching pleasure spread within her like wildfire.
