Chapter 18
SASHA POV
The past ten days have dragged by. Yesterday, the young members gave us their opinion of my training course and overall it was mostly positive. A few felt as if my beginning level was a bit too advanced, so I will be altering that. But everyone 15 and up loved it.
Chelsea is taking me shopping today, and tomorrow is supposed our last day in White Crest. Ben and I haven't really spoken since our dinner date. Natalia has been growing weaker and weaker, but I am still undecided. My brain has gone over so many different variables. The fact that accepting Ben means accepting his past and tying myself to White Crest doesn't sit well with me.
I have spent the past 18 years tied to Riverstone. This is the first pack I have visited outside of home. Do I really want to tie myself down to another pack immediately? Do I want to cut my tour and become a Luna? Is Ben worth sacrificing my free

SASHA POVExcitement hits me like a ton of bricks as I wash my body with my citrus body wash. Chelsea should be here in about thirty minutes to start helping me get ready. Natalia is in high spirits, and I can't help but smile at her.I let her take an extra-long run this morning since this is the best she has felt in days. Ben had seen me returning to the packhouse, but we hadn't spoken to each other. I had tried to smile at him, but he had turned away too quickly. I know I have hurt him, but tonight, I will fix it. I will apologize for not hearing him out. I will try to move on and forgive him for his past mistakes. A mate is sacred, and I shouldn't give mine up so easily. I shouldn't give up before we even begin.Luis- Your Father called.Sasha- I will call him when I get out of the shower.**************"Riverstone Jason speaking," my dad answers, and I smile."Hey, dad," I say, and I hear dad switch

BEN POV"Ben, you need to ease up, man," Vince whispers harshly as he grabs my arm.I snarl and jerk away from him. This is the best I have felt in almost two weeks. My body feels light and not sluggish... My attention drifts, and my eyes begin to watch the flames as they lick at the logs."Ben, you know what drinking does. The doctor told you never to drink again. Ben, listen, man, that shit is going to mess with your brain injury. You need to be sharp," Vince says harshly, and once again, I growl.Ace and I need relief. How does he not get it? My mate is most likely going to reject me tonight."Mates.....I need this. We both are mateless," I slur while poking Vince in the chest. My brain puts together the fact that we both will be mateless.Vince immediately freezes, and his head drops slightly. Guilt hits me. I hurt my best bud."Hey man, it's
The Princess's Mate Chapter 21
BEN POV I groan loudly as I roll over. My head feels like it is splitting. My body feels like it was run over by a bus. I manage to make it to the restroom on autopilot. I empty the tank and head to the sink to wash my hands. When I see my face in the mirror, shock floods my system. I look like warmed-over death. My eyes are bloodshot, and my skin is deathly pale. My under eyes look like I haven't slept in years. What the hell happened last night?Ben- Vince.............Ben- Ace............ My links fail, and panic floods my system. Where the hell is my wolf?Ben- ACE? ACE? I run out of my room and sniff the air, but nothing comes to my nose. No scents. That isn't right. There should be pack members in the house. I sprint to my office, but my pace is human slow.
The Princess's Mate Chapter 22
SASHA POV I sigh as I fold another shirt. Tomorrow we leave Blue Hill. This pack has been nice, but I'm just not into it. Natalia and I can't stop thinking about Ben. It doesn't help that he calls Chelsea's phone every other day. Luis and Roland have been worried about me since my fighting has been weak. But I don't know how to find that spark again. It's like I am lifeless. I don't feel the pain like I did when he hurt my feelings.......I'm just kind of numb. My cell rings, and I glance at the number. Mom. "Hey, mom," I answer, trying to sound happy and not exhausted. "Hey honey, do you have a minute," mom asks, and I get a little worried. "Yes, I'm not doing anything important, just packing," I answer, and she sighs. "What's wrong," I ask, pausing my movements. "White Crest is falling apar
The Princess's Mate Chapter 23
SASHA POV I stare at Ace's mark with mixed emotions. Part of me is happy that I am claimed. My mate and I are halfway to being whole. But the other part of me is worried. Ben and I haven't truly spoken since our disaster of a date. I will admit it is pretty, though. It isn't complete, but it looks like I will have Ben's initials in White Crest colors, which is a typical wolf mark. I finish putting up my hair, and I change into my running outfit. I don't know what the plan is today because last night I ran from the room after Luis assaulted Ben. I don't know if Ben plans to hold a ceremony to be reinstated as Alpha or what. I don't even know what my plan is. Last night was one impulsive decision after another. I jog down the steps, and Ben's scent hits me in the face. My nerves instantly begin to make me feel sick. Is it normal to be this n
The Princess's Mate Chapter 24
ALPHA BEN She looks like an absolute dream, and her lips feel like satin. While I look like I aged another ten years, she looks as fresh as a daisy. I'm still in shock that she is even here. Let alone here with Ace's mark on her neck. It is as if the last month hasn't happened. Chelsea keeps sending me smug looks, but I am ignoring her. I do not know why I have a full audience, but I am sure one will say something soon. Luis and Roland have never been shy with their dislike of me. I hear footsteps, and my head snaps up, but the scent that flows from the doorway isn't Sasha's. Instead, Vince strolls into the room and joins my onlookers. "So, where are you taking her," Luis asks in a strained voice that barely contains his sneer. I pull back the growl that I want to send his way. I know causing more friction between the two of us will do nothing
The Princess's Mate Chapter 25
SASHA POV Ben's cheeks are flushed as he sits back down. Our bond is now whole, and the feeling is overwhelming. His emotions aren't just flowing within me. It is as if he is shooting them at me, and with each shot, they are shattering a piece of my uncertainty. I feel absolutely nothing that would lead me to believe Ben is trying to fool me. His emotions pour out happiness and contentment, but there is a hint of smugness. As if he is happy about proving me wrong about his interest in that annoying she-wolf. Which makes both Natalia and I happy. "Will it always feel this powerful," I ask once again in a soft voice that I only seem to use with him."I'm not sure. You have had your wall up most of the day, so I haven't felt much—just your stronger emotions. Like when you stubbed your toe getting in the shower," Ben responds with a smirk and humor dancing in his eyes.
The Princess's Mate Chapter 26
SASHA POV I rush into the packhouse with Ben laughing behind me. I can not wait to show Luis and Roland this cake. It is amazing!Sasha- hey, come to the kitchenLuis/Roland- okay I unbox the slice of elegant chocolate and wait. Ben takes out five glasses and pours milk into all of them. I watch him with open curiosity before realization dawns on me."I'm not sharing," I say, and Ben's head snaps in my direction. He looks stunned for about two seconds before he begins laughing harder than I have ever seen him. "So you are going to show off your cake and then eat the whole thing in front of them," Ben asks between laughs and wiping his tear-filled eyes."Yes. Luis and Roland know how I am about sweets. This piece of divine perfection is mine. I just want the beauty to go down in history before being dev
