Haden Her legs were still locked tight around my waist, my hands under her thighs. I could feel every muscle in her shifting against my grip. Every shallow breath she took matched mine. For a second, neither of us moved. Ashlyn was always an idea I couldn't imagine, a woman who couldn't be mine. She was always something I wanted but knew I couldn't have and then she looked at me. The kind of look that made my brain shut off and all I could do then was be with her. She was my first in many things and I wanted her to be my last but the fates had a different plan for us because it gave me a mate and Ashlyn it left for John. Now she was here and our breathing was tangled as our limbs. And I couldnt deny the way my pulse kicked up, the low hiss of my wolf wanting to be consumed by such power. I didn’t think about the case, the dead shifters, the political bullshit which now called my name as the leader to the pack or the shit storm brewing outside these walls. I thought about he

Ashlyn We left just after dawn. When I spotted Haden his jaw clenched at the sight of me. And my eyes skidded to Kellan who was joining us. The morning was fresh and after my run in with Holster I doubted any one could piss me off more. We took four chevs and one Land Rover. Each one packed with six shifters, not all were wolf, some were nomads turned pack. Adrian was an Alumni. He was one of the Sentinels that arrived this morning. They were sent by the council. Our chev wasnt the only one full of tension. Curt drove the lead vehicle, with Adrian and his crew. Lechandray took the second, I rode third with Chase, Kellan, Cole, Casablanca and Howard. Haden brought up the rear with the rest of the Sentinels and two junior soldiers. I was relieved not to ride with him. He wasn't thrilled at the realization that we almost went there. Though he lost his mate and was fair game like myself a part of me wasn't over Deacon. He was human sure but I just left him. What the hell w

Ashlyn I stood by the opening of the door watching the two panthers whisper to each other. “Ashlyn, Let’s talk inside,” he said, then motioned for us to follow. The air thickened as I entered his tower. We were thirty-six . A strong pack if they did something and that is if the honshu didn't destroy the entire city. She could be destructive if pissed off. And over the last eight years a lot changed. The honshu was a hundred times stronger and meaner. The tower wasn’t just an architectures dream. It was alive with so many people walking around busy about there day. There were cleaners, soldiers, some kids, parents, and dogs? A small puppy ran up to Kellan and he dropped down to pet it. The place was a lot different than we imagined. Ellan led us down a corridor with artsy black tinted glass walls, faintly reflective. "It's not much different to its copious outdoors." Chase whispered coming to standing inline with me. "It's a false interlude. They just want us to t

Ashlyn "I think we can eat first then proceed with the discussion." Haden spoke breaking up our little trio. I walked out the second I cleared the doors. Didn’t speak. Didn’t look back. Didn’t care who followed. The air outside hit different, it was a lot denser, and hotter as I walked outside into the sun. My skin still burned from the shift, and my hands were still shaking from everything I didn’t get to say and that look in his eyes. Fucking Deacon. No—Krav. The name tasted like lemon on my mouth and I hated it, I hated how my body betrayed me to him I hated how the guilt I felt made me want to hit him and kiss him. Human my ass. I stopped at the edge of the ward, fists clenched, boots digging into the dirt. The wards along the trees pulsed faint and steady, a reminder that this wasn’t my territory, that everything was watching. The panthers were notorious for their ability to blend in and go undetected. “He lied,” I spat, to the sun “He was the one who

Ashlyn Right. The hearing. I could've blamed New York for that, or better yet the ones who put me with humans. Not that I surrounded myself with many. Apparently, the boyfriend that I thought that was human was not actually human. So I guess I didn't have any reason not to use an inside voice. I mean, most of my friends in New York were shifters like me, but we didn't need to whisper to each other or keep secrets. I thought we had a good thing going. When I think about it, There were moments where we would sit outside and gossip about Deacon or Krav, but he never said anything, and that made me think, what else was he lying about? So all those times when I nitpicked him, all the times when I said something bad that he shouldn't have heard, God forbid, when Ardan and I spoke about dragon stuff, was he listening the whole time? Was he just sent there to spy on me? Could he be part of all of this? I scrunched my face as I felt the entire room now faced me. My body was still humming with
