I spent that entire day in my room, and when night came, my sisters took my children away anticipating Ash’s arrival but he didn’t come. So I spent that night alone, and the next night and the next night too.

I sat at the top of the steps in the early morning cold, staring out at the forest hoping to get a glimpse of him. I was worried, not for his safety but that he’d left me again and this time he wouldn’t come back.

I have always known my relationship with Ash would never be easy, but I never banked on this. Once I found out all that he was hiding from me, everything seemed to get easier, despite the constant threat to my life. We were inseparable and so deeply in love. But when I found out I was pregnant, it all got complicated. Those three months without him were hell and when he got back and the month before I left they were awkward, loving, threatening, and then loving again.

For those seven and a half months I’ve spent loving him, it’s been a wild emotional roller coaster ri

  • Hiding From My Mate   Chapter 87

    Empty. I was forever empty. “Why don’t you just go lie naked in the snow?”“What?” I hadn’t noticed Ann was sitting beside me until she spoke. Her voice pulled me out of my daze. My mind had been completely preoccupied with the news that everything around me ceased to exist.“You are sitting outside with a giant ice pack on your back.”“Joe wants the bruise to disappear before Ash comes back.”I had moved to the back of the house and waited there for the guys to come back. After my check up, Joe joined them in the forest. He said they would be back after half an hour; I checked my watch, they were fifteen minutes late.“When is he coming back?” “Soon.” I looked at my watch again. They were sixteen minutes late. “What’s keeping them?”“Keeping who?”“The guys. They should be here by now.” I was getting anxious, did something bad happen to them? Did Ben’s training with Billy go horribly wrong? Was one of them hurt? Why

    “Give her a straight answer Billy or I’ll show you what I can do!” Ann threatened from behind me. Billy’s face creased at the threat and then his smile was back as he blew a kiss at her.I saw Joe and Ben come out of the forest at a slower pace than what’s normal for them. “Never mind, I see him,” I said walking towards them. It took a few minutes but I got close enough to shout. “What happened?” I called out.“Why?” Joe asked with a smile.“One you are smiling and two,” I looked at my watch, “You are twenty seven minutes late.”“I always smile,” he defended himself coming to a stop in front of me.“Yes. But when you smile like that it’s because you want to hide something from us.” I stared past him at Ben; he was a few feet behind Joe with his head down and his arm across his chest, “What’s wrong with him?&rdquo

  • Hiding From My Mate   Chapter 89

    I sat close to the campfire and stretched my hands out to the flames. Ash was busy putting up the huge tent. It looked like a hut, completely on the extreme side of a normal camping tent.I moved closer to the fire. I was wrapped up like a kesedia but I was still freezing! But Ash was walking around in a T-shirt like it was the middle of summer. “You are making me jealous.”“How so?” he asked me, lifting two huge logs and placing them at the sides of the tent.“I’m freezing my ass off while you have a natural heating system. I bet you can’t feel how cold it is.”He turned to me and gave me a smile, “No. I can’t,” he spoke lifting two more logs and taking them to the other two sides of the tent.“You don’t have to gloat you know?”He chuckled, “I’m not! Okay how about we share my heat?”I rolled my eyes, “How charitable

  • Hiding From My Mate   Chapter 90

    The next morning we strolled back to the house, enjoying our quiet white surroundings before we went back to our complicated lives. I wanted to stay a day or two longer especially after the wonderful surprise but I’d missed my kids and Ash also wanted to see them. My memories of the past few days of them weren’t enough. He wanted to stop being a secondary spectator and actually be there when they did something silly and memorable.I had one more treasured memory. And it was better than the first time we made love.We were barely out of the thicket before Billy appeared in front of us, bringing with him a very cold breeze that chilled me to the bone.Ash put his arms around me, “What do you want Billy.”He pointed at me, “Her.”“Why?”He walked- no, more like stomped- away. We had no choice but to follow him and finally see what I’d done wrong this time. Billy stopped a few times to

    “Because I know Ash... and I’ll also be there. Give me a minute.” I rushed to our room and placed Meri next to AJ then I rushed back out and joined the other humans on the steps.Josh rushed in and back out with a bowl of popcorn. I stared at him confused. He shrugged his shoulders, “Hey, if it’s going to be a show better than the Royal Rumble I need popcorn.”Ann laughed, “You sure can pick them Lee.”“Okay Ben, are you ready?” Ash asked loosening up his body like a boxer would before a fight. Ben gave me a long look and I could feel his fear. “She’s not going to help you Ben,” he taunted, crouching down and holding his arms out, silver slowly sipping into his eyes.“Don’t worry Ben, he’s exhausted.” I yelled out.Ash laughed. “Actually, after last night I feel rejuvenated.”“What happened last night?” Josh asked.

    I sat on the bed watching my happy babies wondering if Ben was alright. My eyes rested on AJ and it took everything in me to keep from crying. How did Ash’s mother survive all six initiations? The thought of it was driving me crazy. When and if that day came, I’d surely die from the anxiety.AJ grabbed my thumb and chewed on it, rubbing it against his bare gums. “I wonder if daddy will put you through the same thing.”He whined. He pulled my thumb out of his mouth and began kicking and waving his tiny hands around as his face creased in discomfort. “Are you wet again or hungry?”I checked his diaper. He was dry, “You eat like your father.”I looked at my watch. It had only been a half an hour they’d probably take another hour or two to rip Ben apart. I shook my head trying to clear the image of Ben’s head meeting the white ground in a bloody kiss.“Okay. Let’s just do something

    “No way Ash.” the tremble in my voice was in sync with my thudding heart. “It would be an easy win. More than what I had.” I got off the bed and moved around the room like I had ants crawling all over me. “I don’t like the way you said that.” He turned his attention back to AJ, “Like what?” “Like you are going to make it as hard for him as it was for the human you.” “And?” And? “What if he can’t do it, are you going to make him?” He growled angrily, “My son will not be referred to as a Canl waka! He doesn’t come from a line of cowards!” “Ash, don’t do this to me. I’m not your mother. I won’t survive it! AJ is the only son we have.” I begged. Hell, Kiyo can roll in his grave if he wanted to. My son was staying alive! He went silent. I felt a little relieved he was considering it. I hope. “Lee, why is he in so much discomfort?” I stopped moving around to look at him. The kid was close to t

    Maria walked past Joe with a bowl of water in her hands, bumping him in the process. “Training! It looked like you guys were taking turns trying to kill him!” She pulled Ben down on the couch, “take off your shirt!” She ordered.Ben looked at me, a hint of fear in his eyes. I didn’t dare say a word. When Maria was furious it was best to stay out of her way and just let her cool off on her own. She grabbed his shirt and pulled it over his head. Ben hissed when she grazed an open wound. “They took turns beating you up like you were some sort of piñata! Lee, help me.”I rushed to his other side and took the towel she handed me. “And then they use you like bait! What if they’d crushed you? Like you don’t have enough scars.”My eyes popped. If she spoke about the bruises... “Maria I’m fine and it was necessary if the plan was to work.”She stopped torturing Ben wit

  • Hiding From My Mate   Chapter 115

    “Felt...” the words died on her lips when a harsh burn scorched down her back. The tattoo there burnt fiercely like a fire razing down and entire forest. She wanted to scream but the only sound that parted her lips was a struggled cry. It hurt, worse than it did the first time she felt it. She felt Samson’s arms tighten around her, holding her stiffened body upright.When it was finally over, she fell into his embrace, her body still buzzing with the painful sensation.“How...?” she choked out.Samson carried her to the couch and sat down, cradling her against his chest. “Merilee is alive.”Merilee? She wanted to ask which one but it was obvious. The only time she felt her magick part from her with such excruciating pain was the night Martha came into her powers.If she was not wrong, Merilee was a few months shy of nineteen... wasn’t this happening late?She shook her head to clear her hazy mi

    Lena patted the young boy’s head and gave him a reassuring smile, “You’ll be fine.” He nodded and smiled back, then turned his face into his mother’s chest. A few minutes later he was fast asleep. “Asante,” his mother said, gently holding his broken arm steady on his side. Lena smiled and nodded. Watching the boy turn to his mother for comfort seared a pain through her heart as if a hot blade had been driven through her chest. She missed Martha and Merilee, her two beautiful daughters. But it had been years since they were gone. Merilee died in a car crush as a teenager. She was rebellious, envious and jaded by the fact she was not born first. Lena knew if they could switch places, Martha would happily give her the burden. Lena sighed, Burden? The duties of being born the first daughter from a twentieth-tenth generation faerie had never felt like a burden to her. Granted it felt like a duty

    Then everything in the room changed. I felt sick to my stomach. I moved back and put a hand over my mouth. I was aware of everyone, even my twins felt different but more like Ben. I looked at them. For a moment their eyes looked different but I couldn’t be sure. I felt too sick to be sure of anything in that moment. Loud hisses filled the room and then I was standing far away, Ash’s arms around me. “Lee, what’s wrong?” That was Maria’s voice. I felt a hand on my cheek and I knew that was her too. It was human. “I don’t know.” I whispered. “She’ll be fine once this is over.” Ben called out. I looked at him. His eyes had changed. I turned to Joe, his eyes were gold and his grip on Maria was tight. She was tucked into him, her eyes shifting between Ann and me. I leaned my head back against Ash’s chest and bit my teeth together as the back of my neck burned. “Just take a deep breathe,” Ash whispered in my ear. I did as instructed, and with each breath the pain subsided to being be

  • Hiding From My Mate   Chapter 112

    Three days passed and the house was like a minefield. Maria wouldn’t speak to anyone else but Ben and me. She also never left Ann’s side. She moved all her things in Ann’s room and Ben and I would go downstairs to get her something to eat.Billy felt uneasy staying with Ann. One the guilt of not being able to defend her was eating at him and two Maria made him feel very unwelcomed. But she didn’t care much about justice, or better yet vengeance. She was waiting for Ann to wake up. We all were. The three of us would guess how she’d look like, the color of her fur. But most importantly, how long it would take to subdue her craving for human blood and flesh.Of course we wanted to see the change. No one was looking forward to the pain that would come with it. But mostly, we were waiting for the first thing she’d do once she woke up. Hopefully go for Sabrina’s neck.Sabrina knew it too and it made her very uneasy. She

    He pulled away and looked at me, holding my head back so that I looked into his pleading eyes. “I love you, only you. You know that so please don’t doubt my love for you or the twins.”I knew that, but Sabrina was standing in the living room disputing how much he truly loved me.I went to pull away but Ash pulled me back, trapping me in a long desperate kiss.And for the first time, I felt his heart beat in sync with mine. I felt his soul touch mine in a connection that was more than physical intimacy. Every single thing of him intertwined with every single thing of me. We were one and the same.And yet...“How much of an influence does my blood have on you?” I whispered breathlessly on his lips.“Like an energy drink would have on you. And yet it feels like I’ve just kissed the true you for the first time. You feel more a part of me than you ever did before. I don’t think I’ve wanted you

    “Aww!” I cried out at the sizzling pain in the back of my neck. It felt like burning larva as it slowly crawled down my neck to the mid of my back. I stayed very still until the pain faded away. What the hell was that?I blinked my eyes open and looked around. I was in my room. Alive, I think.I rose up slowly into a sitting position. When I didn’t topple over I stood up on my feet on the warm floor. I rocked for a second as the room tilted. Once I felt steady enough I walked to the bathroom and pulled open the folding mirror.There was a large tattoo on the back of my neck. How the hell did that get there?Before I could explore further, Ben’s urgent voice filled the room. “Lee, Lee!”“I’m here,” I announced walking out of the bathroom.I saw his face relax and then crease as his eyes filled with tears. He rushed to me, hugging me tight against him.I cradled him, “Hey, I&rs

    Five more werewolves shuffled into the room as Baku and Seth made their quick exit.I pulled out of his grip, “Not yet. Hold them off as long as you can.” I ran to Ash and sat next to him. I was close to sobbing when I saw his battered body. He had shrunk to my size.“Lee what are you doing!” Joe demanded.I turned to him, “What I have to.”He made to come near me but Ben stood in his way, “the fight is over there!” He bellowed.“Get out of my way!”“Joe, please,” I begged.“Joe I need you!” Billy yelled. There were five more of Baku’s men in the room. They stood in a circle around Billy and stalked towards him, tightening the circle with each step.“One minute Lee, not a second more!” Joe ordered rushing away.“Ben...”“One and a half... I know.” He answered without looking at me, wo

    It took a few more dodging before Ben put me down, a solemn look in his face, “He’s in here.”I walked in, a quiver in each step I took. It wasn’t the hostage room I expected. It was beautiful and could have easily been mistaken for a living room if there was furniture in it. There was only one royal-like chair against the wall sitting on what looked like a very expensive rug. It was probably where Baku sat as he watched his men torture Ash. I felt the rage inside me boil up as I rushed to that chair. All I wanted to do was rip it to shreds!“Lee!” Ben called out to me, his hands on my arms. He turned me slowly, “there he is.”I felt my legs give under me when I saw him. That chained, withered, bloody body on the ground could not be my Ash. He just couldn’t!Ben held me tight against him, “He’s not dead but I can’t let you go to him. We’ll have to wait for Billy and Joe.”

    I pulled off my coat and sat on it. Five more minutes on the cold floor and I wouldn’t be able to feel my ass again.The chains jingled when Ben tagged on them, “maybe this wasn’t a good idea after all.”He was on the other side of the cold dark steel room. Just like me, he’d been chained to the wall but he had six chains on him; one around his neck, one around his waist and the rest on his hands and legs. I only had one, around my wrist. It made sense, how could a little human break a chain used to weigh down anchors!“Can you tell if Ash is here?”He nodded, “I caught his scent when we boarded. He should have been here by now.”I felt relief flow through me, “Why?”He smiled, “Because you are here. Your scent should lead him right to us.”“Why.... do think he isn’t okay?” I stammered under a whisper.“He could be weak and cha
