What game is Ian trying to play at here? Do you think he really knows anything, or do you think he's playing more mind games?
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 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. "Please know that I am grateful to you for saving my life that day,
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 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
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 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
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 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 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
