Signe POV

I follow Asher all of the way to the circle. He stops at the edge and turns, waiting for me to catch up to him.

“Is everything okay, Alpha?”

“It’s not too late to back out of this fight. There’s no disgrace in that, Signe. I really don’t want to hurt you.” I was touched by his words and his concern for me, but I needed to prove to him I wasn’t some lowly and incapable she-wolf.

“Backing out isn’t an option for me.” I say softly and reach out to touch his arm. The sparks shoot through me. I know how difficult this is going to be if I feel this amazing sensation throughout my body each time we touch.

He doesn’t remove my hand from his arm but he does look down at it. He stands there staring for some time before he looks at me and smiles.

“I will agree to hold back and not use all of my alpha strength, then.”

His words light a renewed fire in me. He thinks he's doing me a favor by offering to take it easy on me, when what he is really doing is cutting a low blow at

    Signe POVI watch Asher as he makes his way towards me from the other side of the circle. He's fast for his size, I will give him that. I wait and watch trying to figure out what his move will be. I've decided it's best for me to stay on the defensive to start out until I can get a read on him. Asher is still running straight at me and I watch his arm swing around towards my chest keeping his pace. I drop to the ground just as his fist was about to connect with my chest. He was going straight for the take down. 'He's trying to get this over and done with.' Aerona growls. 'He won't defeat us that easily.'Asher turns back around and for a brief second I see the shock in his eyes. He had fully expected to make contact with me. He looks up at me and I give him a quick smile and stick my tongue out at him. I should've just said, 'na na na boo boo, you can't catch me,' and really just committed one hundred percent to the childish act I had just performed. I mentally slapped myself in the

    Asher POV I hadn't expected her to fight like that and neither had Thor. I still can't get over the fact that I almost lost that fight. I had been cockcy. No wonder when I offered to tone it down and take it easy on her she had looked so offended at the suggestion. Signe wasn't just some ordinary she-wolf and I wasn't saying that just because she was my mate, either. It was obvious to me now that she had been training most of her life and didn't come by her position as future gamma of Crescent Moon solely by birth right. Towards the end of our fight, I noticed a new energy in Signe. She seemed to stand taller, her toned form seemed more defined than before and her eyes seemed brighter. The difference in their colors more noticeable than before. During the fight when I had her by the back of the neck, it felt like her wolf had grown as well. Which is one of the reasons I released her when she was thrashing around. I still had ahold of her arm and the sparks that were being sen

    Signe POV Asher finishes whispering in my ear and leans back. Goddess the shivers that shoot down through my body when his lips touched my ear. He is teasing me on purpose, and I must admit, I am enjoying it. He leans back and looks at me. There's a fire and intensity in his eyes that has me squirming in my seat. "Little mate." he says to me and then his lips are on mine. I've never felt anything so heavenly in my life. If I thought the sparks from his hand on my arm or his lips brushing against my ear were intense, they didn’t hold a candle to how this felt. Every nerve ending in my entire body is on high alert. I can't stop myself from melting in his arms as he wraps them around my back and grabs my ass with one hand and the back of my head with the other, deepening the kiss. I start kissing him back with equal fervor and neither of us can get enough of the other. He grabs my hair and pulls my head back breaking our kiss and exposing my neck to him. Asher takes a deep breath i

    Signe POVAsher and I rushed down to the training arena and saw everybody lining up and preparing for battle. All of the wolves and she-wolves that had been in the stands were making their way out of the stadium and back to their homes."Alex!" Asher yells to his brother."Alpha. They attacked at the eastern border as we predicted they would. They have a batallion of warriors and our own warriors are holding them off to the best of their ability, but they need reinforcements." Alex explains.Asher's Gamma spoke next, but I had yet to be introduced and didn't know his name. "Alpha, I think we should send our forces in at full capacity and show them what happens when they try and attack us.""I agree. Let's finish getting everyone lined up and--" "Excuse me Alpha." I cut in. "May I make a suggestion?"Asher looked at me, but instead of seeing the fire in his eyes from minutes ago I only saw irritation. Nobody spoke up and I decide to take their silence as permission to speak. "I believ

    Signe POVI race off in the direction of Alpha Ian on the ridge. If I can get to him and end this war before it can get into full swing, so many lives can be saved. With that in mind, Aerona puts on another boost of speed as I close the distance between Ian and myself.Alpha Ian is still looking down below at the battle before him. I glance down quickly and realize that our wolves have the upper hand despite the fact that we were outnumbered. Where had all of these Midnight wolves come from? I thought that when it was first reported, there weren't many Midnight wolves that had attacked.I turn my attention back to Ian. Soon I would be close enough to attack and I needed to try my best to assess him from this distance. He was large, which is typical for an alpha wolf. He stood as if he didn't have a care or worry in the world, which means he is overly confident. Good, I could try and use that to my advantage.Ian's focus is still down on the battle below. Taking my advantage, I leap in

    Asher POV"What injuries did Ian sustain from the fight?" Alex asks me, but I'm not really listening as I sit outside in the waiting room as my mate undergoes potentially life saving surgery.Why did she have to be so stupid? Why did she think that she could take on Ian herself? He's an alpha and she's a gamma. She's an exceptional fighter, yes, but she made a huge mistake. One that may very well cost her her life. "Asher?" I hear my brother again and this time I look at him."Yes?" I'm exhausted. We have been in the hospital for eighteen hours, twelve of which have been for Signe's multiple surgeries. She lost so much blood that her body wasn't healing itself and it seems as though Ian might have laced his bite with wolfsbane, which means he has somehow built up an immunity to it."What injuries did Ian sustain from the fight?" Alex asks again, ever patient. He knows my mind is elsewhere and he is trying to distract me from it. Something I very much appreciate about my little brothe

    Asher POVIt has been three days and Signe still hasn't woken up. The doctor says her body is likely working on healing itself and hopefully her wolf as well, as they fear her wolf may not have survived the surgeries and sacrificed herself to save her human half. 'Aerona is still there. I can sense her.' Thor assures me. I hope he isn't just imagining their bond because he so desperately doesn't want to lose her.In the days since the battle we have not seen or heard anything from Alpha Ian. Likely he was home and licking his own wounds clean. Doctor's had also confirmed my suspicions about wolfsbane in Signe's bite marks that had been inflicted by Ian. Meaning he had come up with a way to make himself immune to a high dose of the poison, or had found an opportunity to pour it into the wounds.With Signe still asleep, I had yet to figure out exactly how things went down during their fight. I needed some of those details to verify or negate my suspicions. Either way, I had my team loo

    Signe POVI look over when I hear his voice and see Asher sitting beside me. I'm in the hospital and I am alive? How is that even possible? I thought for sure that I would be dead.'Aerona, are you there?' I search for her in my mind, but I am unable to find her. 'AERONA!' I yell to her frantically now. 'I need you! Where are you? Please! Just tell me you're okay.' Tears begin sliding down my cheeks and I sift through my mind for any trace of my beloved friend. I can't help as the sobs begin racking my body,A strong pair of arms wrap around me and pulls me in tight for an embrace. Without my wolf strength, he is squeezing me too tight and I begin to feel my air being cut off."Asher." I barely get out."I'm so sorry, Signe. I should have been there for you and kept you by my side like I said I would. This wouldn't have happened if I had just followed through with my own plan."He releases me and I suck in a big breath, causing me to cough and sputter for several embarrassing seconds

    Signe POV Asher smirked back at me. "Is that right?" "Mmmhmm." I let my gaze wander up and down his body in clear admiration. "As good as you look in those clothes, I am sure you look better without them." "Well then. Can't have you just wondering what I look like naked. I suppose it's time to let you make the determination for yourself on how I look best." Asher winks at me and I feel my heart skip a beat. Our back and forth taunting and the constant teasing from him just made me want him more and more. "By all means." I wave my hand out in a gesture letting him know to please continue. Asher takes his clothes off slowly and seductively. Which, I won't lie, I wasn't aware that was something that men could really do. I watch as he strips off his final piece of clothing and he stands there in all of his glory staring at me while I stare back at him. I knew he had a good body, but I didn't realize it was this nice underneath his clothes. His pecks are well defined and his

    Signe POVThe sensation of his teeth biting my neck is almost enough to send me straight over the edge and he hasn't even bit hard enough to actually mark me yet. A low laugh comes from Asher as he pulls away from me. He tongue runs up my neck to my chin and he places a little nibble before peppering kisses across my jaw over to my ear. "What's the matter?" He says in between kisses. "Cat got your tongue?"Each time his lips contact my skin it sends a jolt of electricity coursing throughout my entire body. "Mmmm." Is all I can manage to get out as he continues to ravish me. I should be embarrassed by my lack of speaking ability, but it's clearly not my fault I've lost all of my speaking capabilities in this moment. "Remember that punishment I mentioned earlier?" He whispers into my ear. I nod my head and try not to appear too eager to find out just what my punishment will be."Good." He gives me a little sideways grin that makes my heart skip a fraction of a beat. "You're going to

    Signe POVHe wants me. It's so hard to believe and I can barely grasp it, but it's true. The way he is looking at me now tells me so much in comparison to how he was looking at me earlier today."I said..." He leans forward and runs his tongue along my jawline and to the base of my ear and Aerona starts to purr in response. "Who do you belong to?" He whispers to me again."YOU." My response is instant and without hesitation. His mouth is on mine before I can say or do anything more. Asher bites my lower lip bringing it into his mouth while sucking and nibbling on it. I can't stifle the moan that escapes from my mouth. He pulls away from me and pushes me backwards. I land on the bed with a soft plump as I sink into the comforter laid on top of the mattress.I can't help, as I stare at this alpha wolf, but to feel an ache and a need for him deep within me. The way he is looking back at me is filled with warmth and affection and I've never felt so complete from a look before in all of

    Asher POVI can't get enough of her. Her taste. Her smell. The way she feels beneath my hands as I run my them over her body and find a place to hold on to. Her ass. It's like it was made for my hand. Round and firm and the perfect place to grab on to and pull her into me.She squeals when I pull her forward and the sound sends a electric shock through me. I want this she-wolf. More than she will ever know and even more than I can understand. No matter how hard I have tried to fight it these past couple of weeks, I can't stay away from her.When she began the words for her rejection, my heart surged with devastation. I couldn't allow for her to reject me. Not when I want nothing more than to be with her in every way possible and never let go.She wraps her arms around my neck, pulling herself even further into me and deepening our kiss. Still, we aren't close enough. I grab her hair and pull her face even more into mine as I am ravenous. However, she begins to fight against me and pull

    Signe POVI sit down on the bed and face the door watching to see if Asher has decided to follow me yet. After a minute or so I glance at the clock on the nightstand. Four twenty-two. I will give him untill four thirty before I start packing my stuff to leave. Then I will find him and reject him and walk out of that door and his life for forever. 'We really shouldn't do this. Rejecting our mate will do us more harm than good. Maybe it's best if we just create some space between us. You know what they say. Distance makes the heart grow fonder.'She has a point. I don't want to reject him. Not truly. But the way he made me feel earlier in front of Ian. I have never felt more unwanted in my entire life. 'Honestly Aerona, I don't want to do it, but I feel he made it pretty clear where his thoughts lie on the topic before we came here and all this afternoon did was confirm what he has already told us. I thought that I could change his mind. That we could change his mind, but I don't thin

    Signe POVThe car ride back to the pack house is a quiet one, giving me plenty more time to think about what had happened with Asher and Ian. Mainly Ian.He called me Siggy. Only one person has referred to me that way since my arrival. As much as I don't want it to be true, I need to confront Alex about this. I don't want to believe that Alex would do that to Asher. But why else would Ian refer to me as Siggy, when he knows that my name is Signe.We park in front of the pack house and Asher gets out of the car without a word. I open my door before his warrior has the opportunity to do so and move around the car quickly to catch up with Asher."Alpha?" I say quietly, hoping he won't hear me or that he will ignore me and keep walking. I'm losing my resolve for my earlier plans now that my anger is beginning to subside due to my concern about Alex.He stops and turns to face me. "Yes?"There it is again. That emotionless face. The one that reflects how I was feeling not long ago when we

    Signe POVWhy is it that either of these assholes thinks they have any say in my life. It doesn't matter that they're Alpha's. Neither of them is my Alpha. "Seriously enough!" I'm fuming. Actually, I am more than fuming. I feel like a bomb ready to explode at any moment and I know that Aerona is ready to shift the moment I say go.I look at Ian who is still smiling at me. Does he ever stop smiling? He's completely insufferable.I take a step toward Ian in my anger. "You! I won't be coming with you. Period. End of story. So get any crazy ass thoughts that it might happen out of your mind, because it's not." I huff at him.He stands there. Smile never wavering. In fact, it's only gotten bigger and now I can humor in his eyes. Does he really think this is funny? I can't look at him anymore or I might just lose all the control I am so desperately holding on to.I turn to Asher. "Alpha Asher," I'm back to formalities now.

    Asher POVIan appears giddy with the information he just revealed. As if he knows he has just opened a can of worms. But how would he know?“That’s interesting I guess. I’ve never met anybody with eyes like mine.” She feigns disinterest and I can’t help but smile internally. She’s smart and knows not to give anything away to Ian, but he’s still smiling at her as if he knows something she doesn’t. Not only that, but the way he is raking his eyes up and down her body, yet again, causes me release a growl deep in my chest. I don’t like the way he is looking at her. Not one bit. If he doesn’t learn to quit eyeballing my mate-‘He doesn’t know she’s your mate, you idiot.’ Thor growls at me. “You’re not even the least bit curious to know about her?” He’s trying to bait her now. “How her family never loved her and left her to die after trying to drown her in a river.”Signe makes a pained noise, but plays it off like her leg got a cramp. I continue watching her, but she never turns to loo

    Signe POVAsher and I sit in the car in silence on our way out to the border and I have about a million and one thoughts running through my head so fast, I can't seem to hold a single thought down. Did he want to challenge me for taking his ear?Did he want to finish the job he started?Did he want to demand that Asher have me killed for attacking him?Too many thoughts, both rational and irrational going through my head and as I feel the car begin to slow down as we near the border I can't keep my heart from racing."Signe, you need to calm down. Your heart is pounding a mile a minute. Get ahold of yourself and we will figure out what it is that he wants and then send him on his way." He's trying to reassure me, but the irritation I can hear lacing his tone does anything but.I nod my head and focus on breathing. Aerona reaches out and I feel a sense of calm wash over me.'Thank you.' I say to her as she continues pacing back and forth in my head, still remaining more calm than I had
