Ashley As we arrive at the entrance to the hospital I feel my heart rate pick up its pace, my hands are clammy and in all honesty, I'm scared. I'm scared of facing the reality of my dad being dead, I'm scared of saying goodbye to him, and more than anything I'm scared of never seeing him again. Jack opens the door and pulls me inside he hasn't let my hand go since we left the packhouse and I'm grateful for it. We walk down a long corridor the walls are pristine white while one of the lights above our head flickers as the familiar smell of a hospital hits my nose and I want to gag, We stop at a door and Jack knocks on it before looking at me with a beautiful smile, I go to talk to him but the door opens, and out walks an older man he has been at least 60 years old, his salt and pepper hair is long enough that it's tied with an elastic band and his huge glasses rest at the end of his long nose but his smile is comforting and he instantly makes me feel more at ease before he's even sai

Alpha Calvin This morning ended up being an absolute shit show, that prick of an Alpha lied through his stinking teeth to get us to help him and god knows how many other packs he told that lie to. I don't understand why he did it and I don't understand why he had a problem with his Beta's son being gay. Fuck I couldn't give a fuck what your sexual preference is, it doesn't define you and it certainly doesn't stop you from being a good person. It took all my strength not to end his worthless life right there and then but fuck the fact that Ashley ended up being Jack's mate was the best thing I could have hoped for. He's welcome here and my Gamma Jack is one of the best men that I know and I already know that he's going to give Ashley the best life possible. I just wish that we could have got there sooner so that we could have saved Beta Matthew. I had only met him a handful of times but I always respected him as a Beta and finding out that he died because he stuck by his son's side

Ashley How can this man think that I wouldn't want him yet? I'm fucking melting for him but I can't deny that my nerves have quickly started kicking in and I'm pretty sure that he's noticed. He slowly pulls back looking at me with a look so full of love that for a second I forget about any worry but it soon comes back. What if he's disappointed with me because I never saved myself for him? I notice him staring at me and suddenly my worry is swapped for shyness as I look down at the plush grey carpet that my bare feet are sinking into. He hocks one single finger under my chin and lifts it up until our eyes meet and I hate the look of worry on his face as he leans into me until our faces are close "Talk to me, sweetheart." His tone is gentle and even though it shouldn't happen a shiver runs through my body that I know he notices as his worried look is quickly replaced with a small smirk and I see the gleam in his eyes. "I.. am... I." Fuck I can't get the words out no matter how hard

Alpha Calvin I've barely got any sleep again and it's taking its toll on me but there are too many unanswered questions swarming around my head for me to be able to settle. I check the time to see it's 6.05 am which isn't a bad time to be in my office working except I've already been here for 3 hours and worst of all, I've barely got any work done. A knock on my office door distracts me from my thought, someone knocking this early is never a good sign and I'm not sure how much more shit I can mentally deal with today. I shout for them to come in and relax slightly when I see my Beta Liam walk through the door with a pretty relaxed look on his face. "Morning Cal." "Morning brother." He takes a seat in the chair across from and even though he's smiling I can see the hint of worry in his eyes. I've known him long enough to know his looks plus I also know that same look is currently plastered across my own face. "It's early is everything ok? "Yeah I just couldn't sleep so I thought

Gamma Jack We spend some time with Nora and she made it known that she loves Ashley already even if we were only there for 30 minutes not that I'm surprised mind, everyone that's met him in the short time that he's been here has praised him and I know that both the moms love him already too. I check the time as we are leaving and realize that we still have some time before we need to meet the others for a breakfast meeting so we decide to take a walk along the river that Ashley was admiring last night out of our bedroom window. It's one of my favorite places to come on the parklands and I think it's going to be one of his too. Once we get about halfway along the river we take a seat on the narrow bank that faces the river and I can't help but wrap my arm around my mate and pull him in close to me, I always want to be touching him. "I love Nora, she seems like a sweetheart!" My mate has the biggest smile on his face and I find that I'm relieved at his words although I'm not sure
