Cadmus Idris Rat King of Jackson

“I’m not going to kick Achilles out without proper justification, Cadmus. You just declared him no longer apart of your pack. You have 12 hours to tell him yourself and get out of my city. Any further contact without my approval will be seen as a challenge… That’s extended to Jaxson and every other member of my pack.“ He stated rather than questioned. “You’re a disgrace to our kind and fathers across the world.“ 

“You can get that notion out of your mind whenever you’re ready.“

“He’s weak, and an unfortunate failure. You must have had him followed, at least right when he got here.Must have seen the places he went, who he went with.You’re fine having that in your pack? He’s a disruption to a perfectly functioning pack. Don’t act like the ridiculous thing to do is cut out a problem pack member.”  Cadmus shook his head and stood. “I’ll be gone in two.”

“No, Cadmus. That’ll be you. He’s still technically apart of your pack. I’m not a messenger, you can tell another one of your sons you don’t want him yourself. I’m sure your allies would love to hear it too.“

“I’m not running an orphanage. Every head is another mouth to feed and responsibility for me and my mate.“

“Fine. Though the kind thing to do would give him a day before you kick him out. Let him try and call around to see if anyone hasn’t heard of his reputation.”

“Why would I taken in another one of your sons?“

“Kick him out if you wish.”

“And it took you how many months and holidays since he’s been here?“

“Almost 9. And 3 major holidays, plus his birthday.” He replied mildly. “He seems to be doing well here, and I was wondering if you would be willing to take him into your pack permanently.”

“Oh yeah? That’s what you’ve been doing with me?“ He chuckled. “Sammy is the toughest nutter out there.“

“Do you think that’s what I’ve been doing to you?” Cadmus stared at his son, in approval. “Did you know you brightened up when you spoke about her.”

“Sammy is her own person. You can try but I’m not sure you’ll be greeted with hugs and kisses.“

“I’ve been told I’m very charming, can crack even the toughest nuts.”

“Yeah. I am.“

“Then that’s what matters.”

“She never left my side. She’s my best friend. I didn’t steal her. We left together and no one bother to come looking. If you lose something important you kill yourself looking for it. Da’, you Casey Anthony’ed the shit out of this situation.“

Cadmus gave his son an amused eyebrow raise. “Well, I didn’t kill you, but your point was made.” After a few minutes of driving, he looked over at him. “Are you happy with her?”

“Because I didn’t trust you enough to tell you she’s mines. We mated just before you came waltzing back into our door.“ Jax explained looking straight ahead with his arms crossed over his chest. “Nick didn’t trust you so neither did I. I knew you were stroking my ego. Telling me things I wanted to hear. Be glad… Because it worked… I always wondered what it would be like to have a real dad and you played that card well against me… I trust you… I seen you fight, sleep and eat. I know now that if it ever comes to it I can kill you…” Jax confessed looking over to Cadmus. “Sam’s alive and well. She was running shop but now Nick has her on the field.“

“Fair enough.” He absorbed all the information Jax poured out with a rye smile. “I suppose at least it worked out that you stole her away. Did you keep in contact the whole time and just re-meet recently? Or did you two just not want to rush into mating?”

“Samantha. Sam. What do you think happened to her?“

“After you took her? I don’t know. You seem to dodge that question every time I ask.”
