*Three days after the meeting*
James pov

"It's my girlfriend's sister, Jax, we can't just, kill her." I reason with my brother. "Why can't we just arrest her."

Jax rolls his eyes at me, he loved action and violence.

He loved war.

Any opportunity for war, he took with out hesitation. My brother is a great king, but his lust for blood, I fear, will be his down fall.

"I talked to Riley, she won't do it, saying she has a plan." Jax rolls his eyes at the mention of the assassin.

"Well I trust Riley." I defend crossing my arms. Riley has never failed something after putting her kind to it, why shouldn't we trust her?

"Well I don't, her feelings are involved, so I'm thinking of something else." Jax explains as he looks through his contacts.

"Man, we shouldn't kill her, she has gone through a lot." I try to reason, though they just smile or roll their eyes at me.

"James, Desdemona is one of those people you can't just let live. I get where you are coming from but we have no other choice." My brother smiles lovingly at his mate, Mae Flower's, words.

I however huff at the two.

"I've never seen you so love sick, doing all of this just because you're with the girls sister?." I glare at my brother, Jared, for laughing.

"Dude is she even your mate?" Asher ask as he puts his feet on Jax's desk causing Jax to glare at him.

"Oh my gosh I better be in the wedding if she is!" Jasmine gushes and I roll my eyes at my sister and brothers.

"She is not my mate, exactly, but she is mine." I growl out as I cross my arms and huff.

"Oh cheer up little brother we are just teasing." Jasmine giggles as I flip her off.

A knock sounds at the door and I turn as it opens and smile at the two little kids peaking through. My twin nieces, Millie and Lilly, smile up at me as they rush in and grab on my leg.

"Mum! Can Uncle James come play!" Mae's face lights up at her little girls before looking at me. Great a reason for me to leave.

"Of course." The girls squeal at her words and I quickly pick them up putting them both on my shoulders.

"I got you now!" I growl playfully as I walk out of the meeting.

I needed a break from the hot heads anyway.

"You dragons want to shift?" I ask causing the girls to immediately squeal.

"Yea!" I set them down as we step outside. The girls quickly shift into their sapphire blue dragons and I follow suit and shift into my midnight blue dragon. The twins growl playfully as they climb on my back causing huff of laughter to leave me.

I step out of the shower and grab a towel drying off quickly and putting on boxers with black gym shirts. I towel dry my hair and rub a comb through it quickly before walking out of the bathroom.

A knock sounds through the room from the door and I look towards it with a huff. My sister always seemed to be on my heels constantly.

With us being closer in age, her being two years older than me, we definitely were closer to each other more so than the others.

"Come in." I grumble as I turn to grab my phone from my nightstand, it lights up showing a text from Annie.

Before I can grab it though I freeze as a voice slices through the air.

"Jamison." I snap my head to her. Clench my jaw as she stands in the door way. I'm frozen as she steps in and closes the door behind her.

"Kaela." Her ebony black hair falls around her in waves, its longer than when I saw her last time. Her golden brown eyes look into mine. She is skinny, like she was before, as if she never had a baby.

"James, I needed to see you. It's been so long I- " she stops herself as she steps closer causing me to take a step back. She notices my actions and tilts her head in confusion.
"James, come on don't be like that. I made a mistake, I'm sorry."

My eyes widen at her words. I wait for my heart to skip a beat, for butterflies to fill my stomach at the words I had longed to hear for so long.

I smile as those feelings don't come. My love for Annie was more than what ever small conncection we had. My dragon growled at her. He doesn't want her, he no longer sees Kaela as a mate.

"Kaela what about your husband?" I question confused about her sudden appearance.

"I left him, in the middle of the night, he doesn't know." She walks a couple steps closer to me and I put a hand out to stop her. A hurtful look goes through her.

"No Kaela," I say causing her to narrow her eyes at me and cross her arms defensively.

"Don't be like that James, we are mates! We are meant to be together! I left my husband and son to come and be with you! You can't just say no to me!"

Now it is my turn to glare. "Look Kaela, you made your choice, I moved on. Just because you can't live with the choice you made, doesn't mean you can come in here and shame me for mine."

She sighs as she looks me over. Her eyes wonder at my exposed stomach. I clear my throat as I go to grab a shirt. The first shirt I grab is a button up, it won't look right with the gym shorts but at this point I don't care. I start to put it on but she quickly yanks it from me.

"Don't hide what belongs to me, James." Kaela smirks making me roll my eyes as I quickly yank it back.

"I don't belong to you Kaela. You don't belong to me." I glare as I again start to put my arm in the button up.

I want so badly to yell at her. My dragon and I are angry. How dare she, once I finally pick the pieces of my dignity and put them back together. Once I find someone to have a connection with, she pops up out of no where wanting me back? I think not.

"Go back to your husband Kaela." I say with full seriousness as I put my other arm through the sleeve and pull the shirt on.

"I won't, I'm here to stay, you will love me, the longer I'm here the connection will grow and the connection will come back. We will become mates again." I glare again at her words. The audacity, I didn't know the girl, yet she came off like a bitch. She acted like we had history, we barely knew each other.

She takes another step to me and looks up to me. "I love you James."

I tilt my head at her and shake my head with a chuckle that lacked the humor it normally possessed.

"And I love Annie, not you." With that I turn and start buttoning up my shirt. But Kaela grabs my arm, catching me off guard and turn me back towards her. I curse at the slight tingles of where her hand touched me.

Though, it wasn't the fire that Annie sparked in my soul.

"Who the fuck is Annie?" Kaela spits the name like venom causing me to glare. Though it quickly turns to a smirk.

"Annie is my new mate, Annie is the girl I'm hopelessly falling in love with, she is more beautiful inside and out, than you'll ever be. Annie is the girl I plan to one day marry. One day have kids with. I've known that girl for a month or so but I don't even give a damn. She is mine as much as I am hers." I growl out causing Kaela to stomp on the ground before looking at me with a determined look.

Suddenly Kaela jumps at me as the door opens. Kayla's lips meet mine and I hear a gasp.

I quickly throw Kaela back as I turn and see Annie. My heart drops at the broken look taking over her face.

Damn it Kaela.

The Making Of Glitch:
When James says Annie has something in her eyes then pretends to look before saying. "Oh never mind it's just a sparkle."
My husband used that line on our second date. I thought there was something in my eye and he actually pretend to look before saying "oh wait it's just a sparkle."
