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 POVI look over at Asher, hopeful, but the look on his face instantly sends despair careening through me. "Asher, I can't feel her. I can't sense her. I need to know. Please!" I beg him to tell me. I hope and pray to the Moon Goddess with every fiber of my being that I have not lost my best friend. My very essence of myself.I rip the covers off of myself. If he isn't going to tell me, then fuck him. I'll go and find the doctor and I don't give a damn about any of this shit connected to me. Without my wolf, I am nothing. I start ripping cords off of me and Asher grabs my hands stopping me from doing anything else."Let go of me!" I yell at him. I'm desperate to get information on Aerona. I need to know what they know and not be kept in the dark."Please Asher! Please!" I beg him and break into sobs. "Shhhh. Calm down, Signe. I was getting to it. I just have so much information to give you." He gets up and pulls me into his embrace again, stroking my hair in an attempt to sooth
Signe POVSeveral days had passed since I woke up and I was finally able to move around pain free on my own. My warriors came to check on me as frequently as possible and even my dad and Alpha Lance had come to check on my well-being. It felt good to get up on my own and move around the pack house. Breakfast would start in thirty minutes, and I had no intentions of being late. However, I did want to explore the pack house and get more familiar with it while I had the opportunity.I imagine I will return to full duty shortly and be back out on patrols for the pack. Also assisting Alpha Asher wherever I possibly could. I can't say that the thoughts don't excite me. Despite what happened, that is where I belong and where I wish to be. I hear footsteps walking up behind me. Even without my enhanced wolf hearing, whoever it was, wasn't trying to be all that sneaky."Good morning Siggy baby." Alex says cheerfully.I laugh at him and that awful nickname he gave me."Good morning Alex. I am
**Trigger warning. Some brief descriptions of sex without consent.**Ian POVI had made my way battered and bruised to the the rear lines and then called for my troops to retreat. I was tempted to keep them fighting and further distract Asher and his pack, but I had sacrificed enough wolves for one day.That's all they were to me anyways. A means to an end. A way for me to get what is owed to me. What I have earned. They were expendable. I could care less whether they live or die, but I need to not waste too many in my efforts to feel out Asher and his Blood Moon pack.The attack from the girl had been unexcpected at first. I relished in the fact that she had thought she got the upper hand on me. She entered into my domain ill-prepared and I took full advantage of it.She fought well for a she-wolf. If she makes it through this war, I will take her prisoner and force her to serve me one way or another. Be it on the battlefield or in bed. I like them fiesty and I truly enjoy breaking t
Signe POVIt's been two weeks since the battle and we haven't heard anything from Alpha Ian or Midnight since. Makes me nervous about what's in store for us with all of this silence from the enemy. 'It's the calm before the storm, Signe.' Aerona chimes in.'I can't agree more.' Aerona returned to me a couple of days ago and I was so happy I couldn't stop the tears of joy from pouring down my face when I heard her voice and felt her presence. Not that I had really even wanted to.'Oh you shush about that. You couldn't get rid of me that easily and you know it.' I smile at her response, because I know she's right. She is strong, which makes both of us strong. We have been pouring over all of the information from my dad about when he and mom found me as a pup. I don't remember much about the parents I had been with before them, since I was so young, but I remembered bits and pieces. Aerona was working hard to try and figure out where we came from as well. She told me that she had alw
Signe POVIt seriously must be something about this office that gets him going, because I swear I am beginning to see a pattern here. "What's the matter, Signe? Cat got your tongue?" He smirks at me.I lean forward and bring my face closer to his own. "Not at all. Why don't you tell me what you'd like to do about it... Alpha." And I smirk back at him. Challenging him. Teasing him back.His grip loosens on my chin and his hand falls away as he sits back down in his chair. "Believe me when I say, I'd lilke nothing more than to see to your punishment." The way his voice gets gruff when he says this makes me melt. "However, now is not the time or place for that. We have important matters to discuss."Just like that I'm deflated. The unspoken promise in his eyes from just a moment ago, now replaced by a look of pity. "What matters would those be?" I try to hide the disappointment in my voice."I think you know what I am talking about, Signe. What we have both been researching and trying t
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
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
