Ashley's POV

"Didn't you visit last night?" Rachel asked, her brow creasing as she studied my face.

I shifted my eyes for a second, my mind racing. "Yes, I visited. I promised your daughter that I'd return with help."

Her eyes rested on me, her voice not much above a whisper. "You returned later too, didn't you?" she went on, her voice soft but full of skepticism.

I opened my mouth to speak, but a harsh tone came crashing across the air. "That's enough." David was coming in close, his eyes on Rachel. "Your daughter's calling you. Go to her."

Rachel's eyes widened, and she sprinted without a word, dashing back into the room, a look of excitement flashing from her.

I looked at David, my tone low. "Why'd you interrupt her?"

He looked at me, his face stern. "You want the whole Oakwood Pack whispering about some mix-up? It would get us into trouble."

"Trouble?" I echoed, my tone firm, eyes narrowing as I glanced at him.

"Let's stay in the present, Ashley," he said to me, his voice calming.

  • I Am The Alpha's Rejected Mate    Chapter 131

    Ashley's POV "Move!" Zara snapped. "Fast!" She turned around with urgency, the fire behind us blazing like a second sun and illuminating her fierce eyes. We all broke into a brisk walk, nearly jogging. We stumbled over the uneven terrain, passing the gravel that gradually turned to packed dirt, then narrowed into winding paths. The moonlight flickered through the trees, casting eerie shadows that seemed to dance at our feet. After several tense minutes of weaving through the paths, Zara came to a sudden halt. "Hold on a sec," she muttered, slipping her hand into her pocket and pulling out her phone. Raising it up slightly, her arm extended over her head and slowly made slow arcs, more like she was drawing invisible lines in the air. "Damn it," she muttered, clearly frustrated. She took two steps to her right, then to the left. David opened his mouth. "Do you mind .." "Yes!!" Zara hissed before he could even finish. She turned to us. "The explosion of the ambulance made it dif

  • I Am The Alpha's Rejected Mate    Chapter 130

    Ashley's POVThe hum of the engine slowly became a lullaby, the vibrations of the road becoming a slow, steady heartbeat beneath me, harmonizing with mine. Zara spoke not another words after the checkpoint saga, her focus welded to the road ahead. David had leaned back too, his hands far away from his neck and his eyes slipping shut now and then. Where we were going to? I had not a flinch of an idea, but I knew for sure that I could trust Zara with that. The tension of the day, right from the fight back in the police station to that in Zara's makeshift house to the explosion in the bar, it all came crashing down like a weight over my chest and finally, exhaustion won. The darkness swallowed me whole as I shut my eyes. Then I was standing. But no longer in the car, not even in New York city. I stood barefoot on a cool marble flooring that was surrounded by a fog. I looked around, confused and ever willing to leave. But two figures suddenly appeared before me. They were partially o

    Ashley's POV"David!!" I called again, my voice shaking as I reached out to him. He was still, unmovingHis body lay limp on the stretcher, eyes shot and jaw slightly slack. "Damn it Ashley, so David's gonna die like this?" "Shut up!!" I rebuked Zara, feeling cold fear creeping up my spine and rooting me in place. Zara scoffed, yanking the handbrake and swinging the driver's door open. Within seconds she was already in the backseat, sliding next to me. "Move Ashley, please!" she barked, kneeling beside David and grabbing his wrist in search for his pulse. At this point I had lost understanding of what was really going on. Did David kill himself or let himself die?"David, please," I whispered, my hands trembling terribly as I cradled his face. "Don't do this."Then something happened suddenly and Zara gasped. I followed her gaze--and froze. "It's... closing up." I noted, pointing to the wound on David's neck. It wasn't just clotting, it was closing right before our very eyes.

    Ashley's POV"We'd outrun them, chil Ashley," Zara replied, not slowing down for even a second. Her hands were on the steering wheel with such force that her knuckles had turned bone white. I could feel every jerk of the vehicle as I kept pressure on the gauze on David, adjusting the wrap and trying to hold the wound together with nothing but sheer will. "You can do this David," I whispered, feeling yet another jerk of the vehicle as we tore down what seemed like an endless stretch of cracked roads. The bleeding had slowed, but hadn't stopped yet. I noticed his eyes blink open again, dull and struggling. "We made it out David, just hold on," I said in a soft voice. Zara took a sharp left, the tires screeching as we drifted slightly before catching traction again. We passed a dark alley, the buildings around blurring into silhouettes. There was no more flashing lights or yelling or siren. Just the gutteral growl of the engine and our ragged breaths. "We've lost them completely As

    Ashley's POVA scream clawed itself up my throat the second David staggered back, his blood spurting from the gas across his neck. "David!!" I choked out, reaching for him. But Zara was already moving, a blur of silver and rage. She lunged without warning, with eyes glowing, feral and unblinking. The shadowy figure seemed to be preparing for another strike on David.But slash! went the sound of Zara's claws at it ripped through the assassin's neck. It formed a swift, savage arc. I gasped as I saw the figure's head detached cleanly, watching as it soared a few feet before landing with a grotesque thud on the ground. It rolled backwards, with eyes wide open in a surprise that was frozen, and stopping by a shattered bottle of whiskey. Blood sprayed in Zara's face, coating the door behind like some grotesque mural. But Zara didn't flinch, more like she had done this dozens of times before. David stumbled forward, with one of his hands gripping his neck in an attempt to stem the flow

  • I Am The Alpha's Rejected Mate    Chapter 126

    Ashley's POV"Ashley!!" came the scream from David as he turned swiftly towards me. The sound around me became muffled, more like I was submerged underwater. The scream faded, the gunfire dulling to a distant thrum. I watched as Zara's outstretched hand seemed to still in mid-air, with her expression twisted in a scream that no longer had a voice. Even David who had just turned to me froze, his hand halfway up and reaching out. But it was stuck in place like a paused frame in a film. And in that frozen second, his eyes met mine. It said much more than it had ever done in time past---don't die, don't get killed.Survive you bloody Ashley!! Before I could even process enough thoughts, I moved, no, I was pulled by a force I could recognize anytime. My wolf!! It dragged my body. It was in total control of all I did, more like it knew that I needed to survive this. I couldn't die this way. No, not by assassins in the least. My arms stretched toward the blinking metal death that rest
