Taming Jax (First Wave Book 5) by Mikayla Lane Page A

up her arms until all movements in the room stopped. Reven stared angrily at the Prime who easily walked past his immobile form as if he wasn’t even there. Her eerie golden eyes held his for a moment as she passed him before reaching the bed.
     
    “Ahhh, you do not know the treasure you have. But you will. Both of you will.” Lara/Abexis said as she glanced up from the girls to look at Jax and Reven.
     
    “I will tell you what the good doctor cannot, and you can decide your path from there.” Lara/Abexis said as she released everyone from her hold, allowing them movement again now that Reven was calmer.
     
    Reven fought the urge to slap the woman’s hands away from his daughters, when Lara turned glowing golden eyes to him. “Her name is Melina. She chose you to be her new father as she chose the baby to be her sister.”
     
    Jax shivered when those golden eyes moved to her. “You were chosen by the baby to be her mother. The problem you face is that they refuse to be separated and the two of you refuse to reside together, much less form the mating bond required to give them the stable home that they will need.”
     
    Jax bristled in anger. “You have no damn idea what he, and I will or won’t do or what we are capable of!”
     
    “Shhh, it was merely an observation of what the current situation is.” Lara/Abexis said with an unnerving smile.
     
    “It’s an observation you have no damn right to make! Why the hell are you even in here?” Reven demanded as he clenched his fists in anger.
     
    “Reven, calm yourself. I am here because your new daughter is laustio, a Prime hunter. I believe I spoke previously about the unique abilities of our laustio and she has proven to be skilled beyond her years.” Lara said, her revelation silencing the angry man as David whistled low and stared at the unconscious child.
     
    “Oh shit.” Grai said as he sat heavily in a chair and put his head in his hands before a thought occurred to him.
     
    “Is…?” Grai began to ask when Lara/Abexis interrupted.
     
    “No, Tristan’s mate is not laustio. However, she is a hybrid. If I’m not mistaken, she is a hybrid of two hybrids?” Lara said, turning to Amun for confirmation.
     
    Amun cleared his throat. “Yes, she is the product of two hybrids. And the tests confirmed the presence of a Prime beast in the older child.”
     
    Lara smiled before turning to Jax. “The baby, as you know, has your gift. Melina… well Melina has many gifts. Some will bring you challenges, others pride, but I promise all will bring you joy. If you allow it.” Lara said to Jax as she squeezed her hands gently in her own, sending her waves of patience and calming energy.
     
    Lara gave Jax one last smile before moving to Viper who held the door open for his mate. She turned back one more time.
     
    “The children have given you the highest honor by choosing you to be their parents. If you cannot be what they need, they can and will choose others who will be.” Lara said warningly before leaving the room.
     
    Amun looked around and realized he didn’t need to be there anymore. “Well… I don’t think there is much more that I can add to that other than they will awaken soon. Melina’s voice will be rough at first, and her throat may be a little sore if she talks a lot. If you need me, you can reach me at any time.” Amun said before scurrying out of the door. He had no desire to be anywhere near that room if Reven, Jax and Grai decided to fight over the children.
     
    “I believe my charge is waking up, and I probably should go and keep him occupied for a little while.” David said as he slipped out of the door behind Amun.
     
    Grai lifted his head to see Reven and Jax glaring at him, and he sighed. “I have no intention of taking them from you. They have chosen you, and I will honor their wishes. Traze and David will be sent… I don’t know where right now, but they will be sent elsewhere while you try to become a
