We all follow behind as my dad's stretcher is being wheeled toward the emergency room. They stop us at the door, of course, that's as far as we're allowed to go. I am restless and couldn't sit still. Pacing the length and breadth of the limited space in front of the emergency room. I can't help but think about how he has lost so much color. How he now looks much older than his usual robust self. I just pray the doctors will be able to repair whatever damage the silver bullet might have done to his internal organ before it's too lateI hear footsteps coming down the hall and I look up to find the Alpha and Beta of the Night Howlers pack coming toward us. He's about my dad's age and also one of the strongest Alpha in North America but this is the f irst time I'm meeting him in person, I'm sure Justine would have met him on several occasions during council meetings and pack businesses. I'm the bastard son after all. I walk toward them to meet them halfway"Alpha..." I say and bow my he
Ash's POVAs soon as the driver that brought us left, Martha immediately started to dish out instructions. When she's done telling me what to do, she goes to the kitchen area to start the cooking while I find my way to the hall closet to get some bedding before taking them upstairs.I'm still cleaning the first room when I hear her shout out my name. My heart sinks out of fear since I thought maybe she fell or something. So I rushed out of the room preparing for the worst. I breathe a sigh of relief when I find her standing at the foot of the stairs looking well but madder than a wet hen with her coat back on and her walking stick in hand."Where are you going?" I ask as I walk down the stairs to meet her"This is the twenty-first century, Ash! You really need a phone! We need to get you one as soon as possible! You made me scream like a banshee when I could have just called your phone!" She says in her sharp southern twang all the while tapping her walking stick on the floor"Yes,
AUTHOR'S NOTE**Sorry I missed a chapter! Editing take like 3 days to process so I decided to put it up here as I didn't want any delay in uploading my chapters**–––––––––------------------------------I stand frozen behind my desk, while my father's words continue to play in my head even long after he has left…'If I had just stayed away from her. If we had not come back together!'"What the fuck!" I swear softly to myself and look at Eric when the realization of my dad's statement dawns on me "Tell me you heard and understood what he said. Did you hear the part where he said 'If I had just stayed away from her if we had not come back together!'?"Yeah! Did they really come back together? Considering how we're all aware of how they both felt about each other, is it possible for them to ever come back together without us knowing!?" Eric asks back at me looking as dumbfounded as I am."You heard what he said, didn't you!? And I don't think he would ever lie about such a thing just t
'I'm so sorry, we lost him!' I feel a cold air kind of sensation wash over my body as the doctor's words echo over and over inside my head.'Lost who!?... My dad!?... My dad is dead!?' I continually thought to myself in disbelief. The doctor is still talking and I also hear distant voices talking around me but I can't make sense out of all what they're saying. Nothing else penetrated my mind apart from the bad news the doctor just gave me.He pats me on the arm when he's done talking and walks away. ''I'm so sorry, we lost him! My dad is really dead!" I say out loud this time since it feels as if I'm in a dream"But how can he be dead when we were just talking some minutes ago!?" I ask no one in particular. For someone who is known for his prowess on the battleground, I know I probably look stupid to the people around me because of how I talk about death as if I don't know there's just a step between life and deathSomeone lightly slaps me on the back and I see it's Eric when he c
Ash's POV"Oh, my God!..." I gasp and the half-naked man whirl around on hearing my voice, but not before I had a glimpse of the monstrous-looking wolf with blood-red eyes tattoo that covered the whole of his back He looks surprised to see me and slowly lower the pho ne he was speaking into when he had his back to me. Gauging me like a predator, he makes his way to where I'm standing, rooted to the floor.He looks so fearsome, exactly like the wild-looking wolf with red eyes drawn on his back and I want to bolt for the door but I don't. I'm mesmerized as if I am captured with magic by the easy and calculating gait with which he walks toward me.His head is cocked aside in a wondering manner while his green eyes that are drilling into mine flicker between their natural color and blood red. "Who are you?" He asks, his tone cold and deadly to my ears, still, I'm entranced by him and can't get my mouth to reply to his question.By God, he looks fierce but damn good-looking! I'm scared b
He kissed me and I can't help but melt into him. I know I'm not supposed to encourage him by kissing him back since I don't smell his essence as my mate but I can't stop my body from responding to his kiss. It's exactly like Martha had described it... Fire!I remember what Martha told me the previous night after I told her my kiss with Ethan was nice. She said... 'A kiss with your mate wouldn't be just nice... It will seem like a fire is lit in your heart. A passionate fire that will burn and consume you from inside outI can't smell his essence as my mate but damn! His kiss feels exactly like Martha's description and my body yearns for more. When his hand moves under my blouse and caresses my boobs, my nipples instantly harden in response. It feels as if he lit some kind of heat in the pit of my stomach that is burning from within me till it spreads all over my body. He rolls my hardened nipples between his fingers and I gasp into his mouth. I wasn't prepared for such shocking pl
Thor's POVI instantly know it's Eric when the door suddenly opens even before he walks through it. I was supposed to come to grab a quick shower while he went to get clothes for both of us to change into since we were both covered with the stain from my dad's blood. But instead of getting a shower, I was met with a surprise that turned out to be a distraction. A distraction because I totally let down my guard while we were together. At that moment, anybody could have crept up on me and I wouldn't have known in time until it becomes too lateI instantly cover the girl with the whole length of my body, making sure none of her private parts is showing before Eric walks through the door."Get the fuck out Eric, now!" I shout at him and he immediately turns back "Your clothes are here. I'll be waiting for you downstairs." He says behind the closed door and I listen as his quiet footsteps walk away, and down the stairs. Something that I should have done before he walked in on us if I had
"You found your mate!?" Eric says and smiles broadly at me. Wow, that's good news man!..." He really looks happy for me but I don't share his excitement. I just turn on the shower and concentrate on washing my body as the spray of the water jets down on me. Not that I'm not happy to find my mate, as a matter of fact, my mind is preoccupied with the thoughts of her. The few things I noticed about her in the little time we spent together baffles me.Eric stops talking but continues to watch me shower with his arms folded over his chest. I guess he senses something is bothering me. I finish showering and he hands me a towel. Even though he isn't talking anymore, I can feel his eyes watching every one of my movements as we move to the bedroom till I finish dressing in the clothes he brought me."Why are you brooding as if you're about to commit murder, Thor? He finally says, breaking the long silence between us."Now that you finally found your mate that you've been anxious to find fo
