The Stand-In Luna •Chapter 51•
AshleyJust when I thought I could take the agony no longer, something remarkable happened.Jace's cry of pain filled the air, and he let go of me at last. I dropped to the floor, immediately using my hands to catch myself. Hot tears ran down my cheeks, spurred by my freedom and the trauma of being so helpless.Flashes lit up the sky as Zane reawakened his powers, rushing towards Jace without wasting another moment. Jace tried to get out of the way, but he was too slow, and Zane's fist connected with his jaw, creating a resounding crack that sounded very much like thunder. The impact of the punch sent him flying backwards into a tree that partially splinted once his body came in contact with it.Bryce stood there breathing heavily with a bloody silver spear in his hand. Eyes glowing, body contorting inch by inch into that of a beast. I had never seen a Lycan shift before, but I knew it was something they didn't have to do often because they carried immense strength even in their hum

Ashley “Ungh . . .” Everything hurt. The light pushed past my eyelids, forcing them open. It felt like my body was on a rocking boat, moving up and down. And everything was upside down.“What . . .?” I grunted, trying to get my bearings. There was a weight around my waist, preventing me from moving so much. My abdomen rested against a hard surface.I was being carried on someone's shoulder.Memories flashed through my mind. James. Jace. Clara.Clara!I shook violently, trying to free myself from my captor. “No!”“Stay still, Ashley.”I didn't listen, but instead increased my movement until I jabbed my elbows into his back. “Let. Me. Go!” I pressed on again, and this time, my assault worked. With a grunt, Jace's grip on my body loosened as he lost balance. In the process of trying to right himself he forgot about me, and I used the opportunity to practically roll off him and down to the floor.I scrambled to my feet and looked around. We weren't too far from where Clara had found us
The Stand-In Luna •Chapter 49•
ZaneWhen Alicia told me that Ashley hadn't gone to the Sacred Grove that morning, the rush of confusion and anxiety that sunk into mybheart like poison was a novel experience. “She's never missed a day since she started helping us. I think something’s wrong.” Alica’s eyes fully expressed her discontent and sadness. She had started to see Ashley as family, so it must have been worrisome.I also hadn't done a good job of checking in on her that morning after she left. I had assumed that she had been a little embarrassed at what we'd done the night before and wanted to be away for a while. Maybe if I'd followed my gut, and pushed aside the fear of being too bothersome, I would have found her before things got to this point.Alicia touched my face for a few seconds, then touched my neck with the back of her hand. When she pulled away, her brows came together in a pinch. “Haven't you been taking the tinctures?”“I have been taking them. They just aren't as effective anymore.” With a huff

Ashley To say that I was incredibly relieved was an understatement. My soul nearly soared out of my body when Clara appeared, clad in black and leather like a modern avenging angel.“And just who are you supposed to be?” Jace asked, slowing down in his advancement. He didn't show it completely, but I took note of the little quirks he usually displayed when unsure of something.Clara came over to me and sliced off my bindings in mere minutes. The ropes came off in pieces, dropping to the floor uselessly. “Your worst nightmare.” She stopd to her full height, embodying the very essence of a general. “You finally had the guts to come here yourself, it seems.”“I am merely here to take back what your king stole,” said Jace, frowning. “Ashley doesn't belong with you people.”“You don't get to decide that, Alpha of Moonlit Silver.” She lifted a clawed finger and pointed it straight at his heart. “You are the only outsider here.” Her eyes darted left and right quickly. “Where's your accompli

Ashley “I'm not going anywhere with you,” I spat, moving away from him. “I told you already. I want nothing to do with you.”His smirk dropped a little. “I know you're still angry, but it's a misunderstanding that we can always talk about, like adults.”I almost laughed. “After you lied to me and then forcefully tried to mark me to make me ‘obedient’? No. That's not going to happen, Jace.”He sighed. “There's no time for this, Ashley. The Lycan King has set the Hunt Gathering into motion once again, and soon, it'll be near impossible to slip past the border.”“I don't think you understood me the first time. I'm. Not. Going. With. You.”Something dark crossed his face. “Well, you don't have mucu of a choice.” There he was, trying to force me into being with him once again. How had I been so blind as to not have seen it earlier? The possessiveness. The double standards he kept when it came to himself. I had been so blinded for the affection I had for him. But now, my eyes were clear,

Ashley I had to escape, but the odds of me being able to do that were very, very slim. For one, I was in a hole in the ground with the only exit a small squre window overhead.About a day had passed, and I could tell from the fresh rays of light sinking in from above once again. The warmth of the light was distant, but it filled me for a little with hope. As long as I still lived, I wasn't going to give up on finding a way out. The only thing that mattered to me at that moment was to break out and go to Zane, who must have been suffering from pains already.“Rise and shine, sleeping beauty.” James came to the little window and crouched, staring down at me like he had the day before. “How are you feeling today?”The smile on his face sickened me to my stomach. How could someone look so happy to be perpetrating evil? “Today is a wonderful day indeed, don't you think?” He tapped his fingers against the iron of the bars, creating little clanging noises. I will finally be rid of the tho
