Jaz's POV
I stood behind the bar, polishing a glass, deep in thought. The club had shut, it was a little after three and most of the staff had left also, Levi was hiding in his office, he was worried about the repercussions of having Callie here tonight, being found by the alphas and escorted home.
"It's all coming together" I mumbled to myself, a smile tugging at the side of my lips.
Jax had come to me a few weeks ago, visibly stressed, about the elders wanting the brothers to take a luna before taking over our pack.
We had grown up together, he'd been my first love. But once he turned 18,three years ago, his wolf didn't recognise me as his mate.
He and I had been convinced we'd be fated mates, he promised me I'd be Luna of Deathshadow pack.
Then that day, everything changed. I stopped being the person he treasured, like I no longer existed.
We'd spent many nights together, staying up late, talking about how we'd run the pack. Together.
He left for alpha training with his brothers without so little as a goodbye.
I'd given him everything and he dropped me like trash he had no used for.
I was heart broken.
A year after their 18th, it was mine. That night I found my fated mate. Tom, he was a worrior in the pack. When he realised I was his mate he rejected me.
The pack knew of Jax and I's relationship, although not spoken of openly, it was definitely common knowledge.
Tom said he didn't want used goods for a mate.
I accepted his rejection, something turning cold in me.
Then he came back, Jax that is, alpha training complete. He and his brothers opened this club and so I applied.
I'd hoped him seeing me regularly would help him remember how much he loved me and we could be each others chosen mates.
But he didn't quite look at me the same, that boyish glimmer in his eyes didn't sparkle for me anymore. I came to terms just being friends.
Until Jax told me of the elders wishes. This was my chance. My chance to become Luna of Deathshadow pack.
My heart had raced, thoughts spiralling about being his chosen mate.
He'd interrupted my thoughts -"Alfie and I are going to look for her Jaz, our fated one"
Those words shattered my soul. I continued the facade of being his friend, a shoulder to cry on.
But friends we definitely were not anymore. He'd taken everything, empty promises and lies. I was meant to be Luna, he needed to see that.
So I formed a plan.
When Jax found his fated mate, I'd play the supportive friend, demonstrating my Luna skills, helping train her. Then I'd make her look incapable of being Luna, driving a wedge between them. Jax would come to his senses and realise I was right for him all along.
It was almost too perfect when Callie came along and the alphas recognised her as they're mate.
I'd thought she was just an innocent human caught in the middle of a simple hiring conflict. I took her in and got to know her, and her weaknesses. She was young, niave, and
With her wolf suppressed all these years, she knew nothing of our kind.
I chuckled darkly to myself. "So easy"
Levi came out to the bar -"who are you talking to?" He questioned sleepily, raising an eyebrow.
I quickly recovered-"oh just myself.. I was singing while I cleaned."
Levi nodded, accepting my lie.
"I'm headed home, are you good locking up?" He questioned casually.
"Yup! All good I'm nearly done anyway" my tone sickly sweet.
These men, I rolled my eyes internally.
When I heard the door click, I continued polishing the glasses.
Mind drifting to Callie once again.
After Knox had betrayed her, it made my task even easier. The bonds were wavering, although Jax and Alfie seemed besotted, Kane and Knox had already come to their senses.
Two down, two to go.
I could sense Callie was pulling away from them, then she made sure to continue staying at my place, refusing to stay at the pack house with the brothers.
When shopping this morning I'd saw the dress I bought Callie in a window box. It was truly stunning, the colour would complement Callie perfectly but the style would send Jax into red hot anger. He was very possessive, when we were together he made sure my skirts weren't to high, my breasts covered. He liked being the only one to see my skin.
The idea formed.
I brought the dress for Callie, if she wore this and they saw her, dressed as a slut, working in the club no less… he'd be disgusted by her.
I'd noticed as Callie wore the dress, a newly found confidence blossomed in her, she giggled with customers at the bar, waving her hips… flirting. I'd watched eyebrow raised. She enjoyed being seen as sexy.
I approached her, a smile spreading over my face. -"why don't you get up on stage?" I suggested casually.
"Oh no I couldn't" she refused immediately. So now she's shy?
"Come on, it's fun, are you afraid the brothers will be mad?" I pushed.
A frown deepened on her brow, Callie shook It off, straightening her back.
"I don't belong to them, let's do it!" She said, nodding her head in acceptance.
I arranged for one of the girls, Mandy, to help Callie find a stage outfit. I stood behind the bar , waiting for Callie's appearance on stage.
When she stepped out I saw as many of the men stood in the bar turned to her, jaws dropping. I rolled my eyes in annoyance.
I was beautiful. I was sexy. But even I'd never had this reaction from males in the club before.
As I went to walk away I spotted Jax and Alfie enter the bar. They're reactions proved my plan was working.
I quickly made myself look busy, as though I hadn't noticed their presence.
But they'd disappeared.
They must've left I smirked to myself.
I'd heard rumblings on the club floor, I leaned on the bar to look into the crowd to see what all the commotion was about. I saw Jax and Alfie stalking through the crowd, towards the stage. Callie noticed them too and quickly ran backstage.
This was it. They'd reject her now, and I'd be here waiting.
Then I saw some of the dancers run out from behind the stage, one headed straight for Levi's office. I continued working, waiting. Then Jax's voice flooded my mind "I know you're hear at the club. Bring me Callie's things and a blanket. We're taking her home."
I replied sweetly and quickly "yes alpha." Before shitting the mindlink.
Annoyance rushed through me, frustrated I called one of the girls to do the task Jax had just set me.
I breathed out,calming myself. I have more tricks up my sleeve.
