Dargan's POV
“I know,” I replied, as there was no need to deny it. Hell, I would have told her in the words just now, if Gaia’s heat hadn’t come on all of a sudden. I wasn’t going to keep my Fated Mate a secret. Ashley was MINE and I loved that someone as strong and feisty was my mate. But---
“But I’m your alpha too,” I reminded her, and while that wasn’t the reason why I wanted to take care of her, it was the one easiest to explain. “And I made you a promise---”
“No!” She adamantly shook her head, a weak sob escaping her lips as even that slight movement hurt her. Tears rolled down her cheek and her beautiful dark gaze met mine. “I won’t be the reason that your bond is damaged. I--- I can’t do that to her.”
My heart just shattered at that!
She’d rather suffer the unbearable pain of heat rather than risk her friend being hurt. Despite everything, she was trying to protect Ashley, honoring their friendship more than her own well-bei
Ash’s POV“Rhea! Baby,” I gently woke her up. “I have to go. There is a problem at the office.”“What kind of problem?” She grunted, her displeasure clear--- still not a morning person. Grinning, I brushed her hair out of her face and enjoyed the disgruntled expression on her beautiful face. That alone already made my day a million times better.Just being able to sit with her...“I don’t know,” I sighed, running a hand down my face, wishing Dargan had been one of the people strapped to a pole and set on fire.But I owed him too much to actually think that…
WARNING: This chapter contains underage sex (age-gap couple)Ash’s POVCalm. THE. FUCK. Down!I grabbed the condom out of her hand and, with practiced ease, rolled it on. From the corner of my eye, I could see Rhea narrowing her eyes at me, clearly having some questions.But I didn’t have the patience to answer them…Once the condom was in place, I was on top of her again, kissing her as if she were the air I needed to live. I shifted my hip, pressing my swollen cock against her sex. She gasped, arching her back to give me better access. She was already wet, coating my erect shaft in h
WARNING: This chapter contains underage sex (age-gap couple)Ash’s POVI pulled back, making sure she could breathe. And yes, my masculine ego inflated to the size of Texas seeing my woman covered in my cum.It was truly a glorious sight...“Perfect,” I grinned, gently caressing her cheek. “Did I hurt you?”She swallowed thickly, the movement making my dick twitch. But shaking her head, she grinned, letting out the most melodic small laugh.“Not at all,” she replied, looking like a fucking goddess.Accepting
WARNING: This chapter contains underage sex (age-gap couple)Ash’s POVI pulled out my fingers, realizing that there was some blood on them. Not bothered, I liked it off, much to my wolf’s delight. He liked tasting her blood, wanting more. He wanted to sink his teeth into her neck and leave his mark there.He’d never behaved like this before…I’d had sexual partners before, and while it was an itch I wanted to scratch, my wolf had never been involved. Sure, it was an itch for him, too, but he was ready to discard them the second his itch had been scratched.But not Rhea!With her, he wanted more…WE wa
WARNING: This chapter contains underage sex (age-gap couple)Ash’s POVI had no idea what came over me--- but honestly, I didn’t care!I wanted this!Hell, I’d been wanting her for so fucking long, not having her was killing me inside. When I finally caught the heated look in her eyes – filled with need and hunger.Was it wrong?Yes!Was she probably vulnerable, and this was a bad time?Also yes!I just didn’t have it in me to care!One word from her and I coul
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.”
