ALEXANDER POV~~~~~~I drove to the nearest town which consisted of only a grocery store, one cafe and a service station. most things were in the werewolf communities. The nearest city however was AVALON CITY. My usual comfort place but I couldn’t afford to go far when I had my mate, my very unhinged erratic mate back on FORREST PACK TERRITORY. I missed home, missed my pack. Yet this place had become my second home, I knew I couldn’t stay here forever that I would have to return back to my Pack. Not that anything ever happens there but I have been away for too long.My father's old Beta was running things while I was gone, I knew he was also tired, he ran the Pack with my father who was his only tie to the place beside his daughter and mate.I hated the idea of going back there, my family had all moved on because of me, couldn’t handle the way I run things. My father was a good Alpha to his people, but we clash too much, and I refuse to bow down to his old ways of doing things. I li
46(A) POV~~~~A damn tree, the beast thing I'm supposed to call a mate, tied me to a tree-like some stray mutt. I shift letting my wolf take control. I prefer this form, the other feels so naked and unstable. “Can we break it again?” I ask her as she struggles to snap it off again.“Too tight,” She growls back, forcing us to shift back.“What are you doing, why are you giving up, we need to get out of it so we can go home,” I tell her.“I am tired, you deal with this MATE BUSINESS. I don't want him to die, you need to find a way to escape him, keep him safe""Then get me out of this.”“You need to get out of it, I am tired, we have been in my form for 8 years. now, it's time you took control of your own body, let me rest,” She withdrew to the back of my mind. I refocus on my surroundings. Drake, my mate called him, was watching me from the bottom step. I bring my knees to my chest. I missed my hair, at least it covered me, though I was even shocked at how long it had grown.“Lana ge
46(a) POV ~~~~The car moves to lurch forward and I grip the seat as it moves. My claws digging into it held me steady. the motion is so fast as he moves onto the road. The motion made my stomach turn. My head feels funny as my stomach lurches in my throat.“MATE, FEEL ILL.”“Huh?” He says, looking at me.“Shit!” He says pulling over. I try to open the door but I can't figure it out. I need out, I need out. The door suddenly opens and I throw up the contents of my stomach on the ground. Only it wasn’t the ground but his boots. He jumps back a growl escaping him. I try to move but the strap over my chest prevents me from leaving the car. I claw at it. My claws slice through the strap freeing me as I jump out of the car retching.“Have you never been in a car before?” He asks, making me look up at him. He walks away to the boot of his car, opening it before walking back. He has a bottle in his hand and he offers it to me. I wonder if it is a trick.“Take it,” he says before opening the
ALEXANDER POV ~~~~Pulling up at Avery's apothecary shop, I look over the back seat. Both Tyson and Ace were fast asleep. I grab Ace's shoulder, shaking him. His eyes open to look back at me."What?" He asks before wiping his drool off his chin."I have to go see Aamon and Avery, wait in the car I won't be long. You step one foot from this car, you or Tyson you will be pulling my shoe from your ass for the next week"He swats my hand away. "Whatever" he growls going back to sleep. I growl at him but he rolls nestling back into his position and using the window as a pillow. Sitting up, I find my mate staring at them."You are no good at obeying orders,” I tell her and she looks away. "I was only looking""Well don't, now follow me"I tell her hopping out of the car. I stood stretching when I realize she still hadn't gotten out of the car. I roll my eyes, seriously? This girl has issues. I walk around to her side, opening the door."See this, you pull it and the door will open. Magic,” I
ASHINA POV ~~~~~The dark-haired man named Aamon took me into the shop. It smelled funny here, so many scents overwhelmed me. We stood there awkwardly as I peered around at everything."Do you like Alexander?" He asks, his voice making me jump in the dark room."He scares me," I answer. Aamon nods."He scares me too sometimes, what does your wolf say about him though?""Says mates are bad, they will kill him,” I tell him while observing him. "So she doesn't like him?""She doesn't want him to die,” I tell him."You think he will?" I shrug, he seems strong so I was unsure. My brows furrow at his question."You're very odd," he states."So are you, you smell funny" he chuckles. "What does Alexander smell like?""Good, why do you keep asking about him? He is your"- I didn't know what this man was to him. They aren't family though, they weren't the same species."Because I am hoping he won't kill you like Danika""Danika?" I ask him wondering who this person was everyone keeps mentionin
ALEXANDER POV ~~~~By the time we got home, I was completely exhausted. Tyson was still banging on the boot lid. Getting out, I walk to the trunk, popping it open. His cranky face staring up at me amused me. “I have been stuck in here for hours, jerk,” he says climbing out.“Next time don’t piss me off, be grateful I fed you. Now get your rubbish out of my boot,” I tell him. He grunts annoyed but does as he is told before stomping into the house like the defiant little shit he is. Walking to the back door. I jostle Ace awake.“Come on buddy we are home now, go inside,” I tell him. Zane hearing us pull up comes out.“Thank god I can finally go home, I thought you had left for good,” he says.“You’re right to leave thank you for watching over everything.”“That’s my job, you don't need to thank me,” he says before noticing the extra person in the car.“Hey, Zane,” Ace waves as he walks past him Zane walks down the steps to see who else was in the car.“Who’s that?” He asks, confused.“M
ASHINA POV ~~~~His body was different, I had seen a man naked before but never in the light and never this close where everything was on display. Even when I saw him in the forest naked I never truly paid attention to how different we were, to me it was just skin but now seeing him relaxed I noticed more, he had hair in places I didn’t, his skin looked harder than mine and he was bigger than me. A lot bigger than me....“Alphas are meant to look scary,” My wolf tells me. He turns me around obviously not liking me staring at him. Was it wrong to stare?I wet my hair, the water was hot, nicer than the streams or the cold buckets of water at home. The water is not making our teeth chatter.“I need to take your measurements later, if you're staying here you need clothes. I won't have you walking around naked,” he says, making me turn to look back at him. He was rinsing soap from his hair, his eyes closed as the water ran down his face. My eyes marveled over the strangeness of his body.
ASHINA POV ~~~~He stops at a door opening it, I look inside. "Main bathroom," He says, showing me inside before tugging me to another door near the end of the long hallway before the corner turns.“My office, if you can’t find me. I am usually in here, but until you can be trusted you remain with me,” he says looking down at me. He tugs me around the corner leading onto another hall, the house seemed never- ending. He stops at a glass door before pushing it open. “Infirmary,” he says, showing me inside. My heart skips a beat when I see the steel table in the middle of the room, jars of different liquid on the shelves reminding me of the table they would strap us to before injecting multiple things into us or removing things from us. Adrenaline hits me as my heart races. My wolf lurches forward a growl escaping me as she presses forward ready to attack when he stops trying to pull me in the room. Instead, he's looking down at me.He closes the door and I feel my wolf relax and my b
