They made their way toward the cluster of large tents, drawing immediate attention the moment they were sighted. It was as if they had become the sun around which the crowd orbited, and the scrutiny made Ashley nervous.She searched for Nathan, her brows furrowing when she couldn’t find him. It was rare not to see him at a public gathering, especially one as important as this. A sudden thought struck her, and her gaze shifted suspiciously toward Dane. Could he be responsible for Nathan’s absence? He wouldn’t be that petty... would he?She contemplated asking him directly but knew how sensitive the topic of Nathan was. Wanting to avoid a public argument, she decided to seek out Nora later instead of dealing with the stress of Dane’s temper.As they neared their tent, Ashley winced, feeling her head throb. She had been battling an intense headache since yesterday and despite her attempts to ease the pain, it had only worsened. Her body began to ache, a physical warning of what was to co

"Why isn’t she getting better? Why isn't she waking up? Do something!" Nora screamed at the doctor. The man’s hands shook as he rifled through his medical bag, sheer terror written across his face. Ashley coughed weakly, her fingers twitching as she reached for Nora’s hand to steady her."I am getting the Alpha," Nate commanded, turning toward the door."No! Please, just give me more time!" The doctor pleaded, his eyes desperate."You and I won’t have any time left if he finds out about this late," Nate countered, his voice grim.Suddenly, the door burst open, revealing Dane. His eyes were cold, sharp and calculating, as they settled on Ashley’s pale form. They were back at the packhouse now, but her condition had only worsened overnight.The doctor fell to his knees, trembling. "Forgive me, Alpha! I have tried everything, but nothing is working. I thought if I gave it time, the fever would break, but her body is rejecting every prescription!"Dane’s gaze hardened into a lethal stare.

Ashley sat under the wooden chair, gazing into the sky. A satisfied smile grazed her cheeks as she basked under the sun. It felt like she had been unconscious for so long when it was only a night of having to stay in.She was surrounded by flowers, each of them finer than the last. She felt more at peace there than she was inside her room.“I see you are doing well. You had me worried,” the voice said and Ashley’s smile fell. She turned to face him and he greeted her with a warm smile. “Can I seat?” He asked, gesturing toward the empty seat beside her. “Yes,” she said and he took his seat.“How are you feeling?” He questioned, settling his eyes on her.Shooting him a smile, she started, “I am not dead yet so that’s something to jubilate about.” Ending it with a laugh that had him smiling, amused by her humor. “Is it okay for you to be outside though?” He asked and I almost rolled my eyes. Why was everyone been so insufferable? It was merely a cold fever, that almost took my life bu

“I need a plane ticket,” Ashley said, her gaze dropping to the floor.“My phone…” she added uncertainly.Nora smiled. “I already took care of that for you. My father’s driver will drop us at the airport.”Ashley’s lips trembled as she smiled back, almost sobbing from gratitude.“Now instead of crying, we need to get moving,” Nora said. “You don’t have to pack anything. In the worst case, we will just buy what you need.”Ashley nodded and turned toward her closet.“Pick something light to wear. I will be waiting outside,” Nora added before walking away.A few minutes later, Ashley stepped into the compound. She stopped in surprise when she saw Dane standing beside a car, with Aurora and Silas nearby.Her gaze shifted to the other side of the yard, where Nora and Dane’s nephew, Nate, appeared to be in the middle of an argument.Confused, Ashley walked over.“What’s going on?” She asked, directing the question at Dane.Could he be trying to stop her from leaving?“If you are trying to st

When she didn’t feel the impact she expected, Ashley slowly opened her eyes. A gasp escaped her as Dane’s wolf stood in front of her, his massive jaws clamped around the other wolf’s leg.With a powerful jerk, he yanked the wolf off her and slammed it to the ground. But as the wolf was dragged away, its claws grazed Ashley’s left leg.A sharp hiss escaped her lips. Dane’s wolf immediately dropped his gaze to her, huffing heavily.Ashley stiffened. The way he stared at her made a chill run through her. His eyes held no trace of the Dane she knew, only the cold, unfamiliar gaze of a wild predator. It was like looking at her like she was a stranger.“Behind you!” Ashley suddenly shouted.But it was too late. Another group of wolves had already lunged at him.Dane’s wolf turned sharply, his body twisting with the fluid precision of a fighter. He met them head-on, ripping through them with brutal strength. One by one, he tore them apart until their bodies lay scattered across the forest fl
