Dargan’s POV
I woke early as always. Despite spending weeks at the bottom of a prison cell, I guess my biological clock was still fine and kicking. Gaia was sleeping peacefully next to me and seeing her there felt perfect.
Like it was meant to be…
But the second I turned over and realized that the space next to me was empty, a lonely longing settled into the pit of my stomach. I couldn’t explain it but it felt like there was a part of me missing. Or a part of something missing.
Something important…
Shaking off the emotion, I got up and took a shower. I realized that Ashley ran through my mind more than just once and while I couldn’t explain why I was looking forward to seeing her today.
Later…!
After I took care of Gaia…
With the intention to go downstairs and make us some breakfast, I instead walked back into the bedroom to see Gaia stretching out on the bed. The cover had slid down exposing most of her delici
Ash's POV“It wasn’t the first time she set you up, was it?”Rhea scoffed and rolled her eyes, crossing her arms over her chest as if trying to protect herself.“I can’t shift, but can still be put under an alpha command,” she snapped, placing her anger on whoever was in front of her. “So the answer to that will be yes.”“Why didn’t you tell them she commanded you?” I asked, watching as she passed me and headed for the bed again.“You think I didn’t?” She exclaimed with a mocking laugh and once more sat down, her eyes burning as they bore into mine. “When you’re dealing with a master manipulator, you’re screwed no matter what you do. Here, let me
Ash’s POV“I’ve told the alphas about this,” I told her while she was in the shower. I was waiting outside, and while she’d repeatedly told me that she didn’t need a babysitter, I just told her she was cute, thinking I’d leave her side right now.She wasn’t happy about that…I didn’t care!I didn’t invade her privacy, sure, but I was waiting outside the bathroom door, tapping my foot and waiting for her to finish. It also helped that I got to w
Ash’s POV“Just a second,” a female said, and as I looked up, I realized that it was the sheriff. She walked over, and while her face was the epitome of sympathy and concern, I still didn’t like how close she got.Instinctively, I held Rhea closer, ready to bite off heads if they insinuated anything. As if sensing my agitation, she slid her hand under my shirt and started rubbing my back. Currents of electricity ran up my spine, making it easier to breathe. My tense muscles relaxed under her gentle caress, and the fog of anxiety and anger finally diminished.“Can you be quick?” I asked, my voice still gruff from my wolf. “Rhea needs a shower, and I’d really want her to see a doctor just in case.”It
Ash’s POVThe whole thing was a fucking mess!I’d jumped into the closest river, getting blood out of my fur. And to throw humans off track in case they decided to go hunting. I mind-linked my alphas and alpha enforcer about the situation, hating that I didn’t have any answers for them.“I’m heading back now to see what’s up,” I growled, shifting back to my human form and quickly dressing. “Just make sure that the pack stays away from that part of the woods for a while. I’ll handle things at school.”
Present time…Ash’s POVMy mind came crashing back to the present when I heard someone scream. Practice was over, and I’d been waiting for Rhea to return to her car before I ran home and met her there.Only today she didn’t get to her car…My head snapped up, my world narrowed at the sound. Followed by low, snarling voices that didn’t belong anywhere near here. My wolf was quick on his feet, searching for the danger as my pulse roared in my ears. I didn&rs
Same flashback – same time!Ash’s POV“Are you here to help or to judge?” She asked, her prickly attitude a constant source of amusement for my wolf. “Because I only need one of those to pass math.”Laughing, I sat down next to her, pretending that I didn’t want to lean closer and let her skin brush against mine. Fucking shit, Ash, I admonished myself.
Flashback--- well, I assumed you wanted the whole story…Six months later...Ash’s POVI liked the way she looked at me…I’d just gotten out of the shower and--- well, old habit, I hadn’t bothered putting on a shirt. Water droplets dripped from my wet hair and down my naked torso. Despite everything, I’d never let myself go. But then again, I couldn’t afford to.
Hey! This is MY flashback. It’ll take as long as it takes…Ash’s POV “Morning sunshine,” I snickered, pulling away her curtains to let the summer morning sun in. “It’s another beautiful day in Hell. And your training starts in just a few minutes!”A loud, disgruntled groan had me spinning towards the bed, where a very unhappy Rhea slowly came to terms with her new reality. She rubbed her eyes tiredly, huffing and puffing as if she were the big bad wolf. Her hair was a mess on top of her head, making me remember my dream…
Flashback – but you’ll enjoy this one ;)Ash’s POVIn my dreams, I did reach out for her. My fingers gently caressed her cheek, and she stood on her tiptoes, brushing her lips against mine.Something hot and erotic exploded throughout my body, burning me from the inside out.I wanted her!But before I could take her into my arms, she was sliding down my naked body. Her blush as she realized that she too was naked, had my dick hardening and slowly oozing pre-cum.She licked her lips--- and then leaned forward, slowly lapping at my cock. Each stroke felt like a pull on my balls.Fucking shit!Groaning, I carefully tangled my hand in her hair, trying not to be too forceful. But I needed my cock in her mouth. I needed it so fucking much, I might just explode before---Her soft lips closed around my shaft, the feeling the closest thing to heaven I’d ever been.
