CHAPTER FIVE

VOLK

I decide to leave very early and refuse to think about the girl from last night, which only makes it harder. Whatever torture she was receiving here must have been more brutal than I could imagine but I still could not take her home. I could not fathom how I would live the rest of my life with a woman who could barely stand on her two feet and had no wolf. Her thoughts never leave me as I get into the car and seat in the passenger seat. I never let anyone drive me but I was in no mood to drive and I could not possibly focus on the road if I did. 

"You are not driving?" Lowell asks in shock as he gets in the driver's seat.

He had been keeping his distance from me since yesterday and whether or not I could understand why he was being so cold, I still could not bring myself to take her. 

" Yes.” I say to him without lifting my head. 

He doesn't say another word as he gets in. I realize I cannot find Qareen and Qar'een nor their car anywhere.

"Where are the twins? I ask. A bit panicked. They never left my side without a reason or my instructions. 

"I told them to head on, I didn't want them to see you in your current state?" Lowell says.

"And what is that supposed to mean?" I ask.

" Well, Volk, you're currently not thinking so I told them to keep a safe distance lest you jam into them. You can call them back if you wish, I didn't know you wouldn't drive. Must be a tough day for you." He says.

I ignore his little joke at the end and simply focus on watching the road as he starts the ignition. 

Almost an hour passes before we are back home and Lowell finally parks the car. Immediately we arrive, I sense the presence of my mate. Conri stirs and I am almost certain of it. He had been silent since last night and as soon as he begins to get restless, my fears are confirmed. 

Lowell gets out of the car immediately and I know he must have guessed what I am thinking. He half runs to the car were the twins stood and I know that he must have been hiding her there. It occurred to me why they left before us. He knew I would sense her if we were close.

Anger begins to make my blood boil and I feel like smashing Lowell's head. Conri refuses to support my rage and stays docile. He was satisfied that his mate was here, home with him.  The thought of him make me almost vomit and I raged after Lowell. 

"What in the world do you think you are doing?" I demand. I was speaking at the top of my voice. 

" The right thing, Volk and you will thank me for it." 

" I never asked for your help in this. It is none of your business. I have made my decision and nothing would change it. Return her or I will." I tell him. 

I hear footsteps approaching and I turn to find Ashina walking towards us. Before I can utter a word, I feel my cheek burn before I realize she had slapped me. 

"Life is not all about power, brother! You still know nothing if you think your pride comes before your mate." She spits.

She says the last bit with disgust. Ashina had never once talked down at me and it hurt more than the slap she had given me. I knew it was well deserved because I knew I was acting a jerk.

I start to walk into the house when I hear Lowell screaming.

"She's unconscious Ashina. Get the Doctor! Call Gabe!" 

I stop dead on my feet but do not have the heart to look back. So I walk into the house. 

Almost four hours had passed and I spent the entire time in my study. I had not had a single meal the entire day and I didn't know what state the girl must have been in. I feared it was all my fault and if anything were to happen to her, my mate or not, I would never forgive myself.

I sat at the desk and when I heard feet approaching, I pretended to be doing paperwork.

" Do you not hate yourself Volk?" Ashina asks as she walks in.

I raise my head to look at her and she winces.

"I thought watching Rudina almost die was the most horrible thing I could see today but you look like hell." She says.

Rudina, that was the girl's name.

"Get to the point Ashina, I'm very busy." 

" She has been raped several times and has four broken ribs. She has lost too much blood and it is even a miracle that she is alive. Do you know what horrors she has been facing, Volk? Can you even imagine it?" 

I feel my insides burn. Everything about the Blood moon pack was true and I felt like biting of Jeremy's head with my bare teeth.

" Oh, what's that brother? Anger? You're upset? I thought you didn't care?" Ashina gloats.

" I still have no intentions to keep her as my mate but the Amaroks would pay. I promise." I state.

"Oh please, Volk, save us the righteous bit. You intended to leave her for dead."

"I still do not intend to take her as my mate and I do not care what any of you think about it. I am Alpha and I shall not have a weak Luna." 

Nothing was going to change my mind and as Ashina went silent as she stared at me, she must have realized that.

"We'll see what Dad has to say about that." She finally says and walks out of my study.

 

ASHINA

”You know what's most difficult? Wanting to drive a stake through him but also loving him cause I know he's a good person.” 

I say to Lowell as I barge into our room. He's seated on the bed, with his shirt off and a blanket draped over his thighs. I feel my throat starting to get dry as I spy the bulge under the flimsy blanket. His lips curve into a smirk and even though I should not be thinking about sex right now, I can only picture him diving deep into me. 

” You want to be thinking about Volk right now?” He asks as he gets on his feet and starts to walk towards me. He never bothered with the blanket as he stood so I am graced with his dick standing erect and leading the way to me. I gulp and try to ignore the heat all over my body and especially between my legs. I had known our night would be eventful knowing how much Lowell couldn't have survived two days without sex. He would always say ”It’s a werewolf thing.”

Immediately he is close enough, he reaches for my shoulder with both arms, spins me so that I am facing the door then pulls my back to his chest. I grasp at the sheer contact of our bodies. The thing with having a mate was, everything felt too good and too intense at the same time. He keeps one hand on my shoulder and moves the other down the length of my arm, sending sparks through every cell in my body. His arm continues to travel down until it is beneath my dress. 

I whimper when his finger trails up my bare thigh and my head falls back on his chest. I had chosen a free chiffon dress for the day and wore no bra because I knew Lowell hates anything that restricts his access. His finger reaches the base of my thigh and then starts to draw circles just before my underwear. The pleasure of it made me want to lay there forever but I knew that was nothing compared to the one million things he could do in bed. He stops drawing circles and in one swoop pulls my underwear down stopping midway on my thighs. He brings his lips to my ear and starts to nibble on it, at the same time his finger goes into me and the other hand on my shoulder starts smouldering my breast. I let out a sound not befitting to a lady and Lowell chuckles in my ear. His breath sends move shivers through me and he starts to guide us back to the bed. 

Somehow, I had forgotten I had feet and didn't know how to use them. As If reading my thoughts, he stops all of the maddening pleasing and scoops me off my feet. I feel lonely already with his hands withdrawing from teasing me. He sets me on the bed and brings his lips to mine. He smelled like Shampoo and soap and tasted of mouthwash. 

I let my tongue dance with his and sparks flew in my head. I almost caved because nothing felt better than having a clean wolf who was about to make love to you in bed.  He gets on the bed with my legs lying between his. I raise them immediately and my dress falls way above my thighs. My underwear is still there so I cannot spread my legs.  I try to pull it down and he helps me out of it never taking our lips off each other.  He brings his finger back into my very wet vagina and I feel as he slides it in. The sound I make is lost in his mouth, he puts in two fingers this time and I begin to yearn even more for something bigger. 

“Please, Lowell. Give it to me already.” Comes my muffled voice. He giggles and takes his lips off mine. I look down and see his dick already ticking like a bomb about to explode. I made a mental note to check if it grew bigger every time.

”You never have to beg me, Darling.” He mutters.

He brings his lip to my nipple and grazes it with his teeth then runs his tongue over it. He palms my other breast and pinches at the nipple. I feel tears in my eyes from need and pleasure. He brings his lips back to mine and just when our lips touch, he drives his dick into me. 

Much later, after our second round of sex, we are still tangled in bed. Lowell was exhausted from the journey and also from us. I kiss him on the lips and carefully get out of bed. I go to Lowell’s work table and I take a seat. Picking up my Cell phone, I dial Mum’s number.

”Hello, mum.” 

”Ashina, is everything alright?” Mum asks.

”Yes and no, mum. We are all well. Volk found his mate at the blood moon pack.” I tell her.

”Oh, that is wonderful.” She says with so much excitement in her voice.

”Yes mum, but Volk wouldn't even spare her a glance. He intended to leave her there until Lowell snuck her out in Qareen and Qar’een’s car. She's a frail and very weak girl,  mum. The pack doctor confirmed that she had been abused for years and had several broken bones. Mum, she is in a dire situation and I am really worried about her health.” 

She goes silent for a while and I hear voices a bit distant, coming from her end. 

”Ashina.” Comes Dad’s voice. 

”Hello, Dad.” I say.

” We are to be back in a week but I can shorten it to three days. Tell Volk that I would expect that the girl has warmed up to her status by the time I'm home and has gotten exceptional care. Else, the consequences would be very grave.” 

I smile in satisfaction. Volk fears just one person in the whole world. His father.
