Chapter 101
I sat outside engulfed by the thoughts of my dad’s diary. We stopped reading after week forty-two. Ben thought I needed a break, and I couldn’t blame him. After my dad’s confession I thought I was going to have an anxiety attack. I read a few more pages on my own and then I just couldn’t read anymore.
My dad killed someone. Correction, he ate a defenseless girl, and then he tried to kill himself.
And the freaky part is they both happened a few days apart from the twins’ birthday. The torment my dad must have been going through reliving what he had done every day. Did he ever regret trying to kill himself? If he had succeeded I would have never had those few months with him.
I didn’t know what to feel but the one thing I knew is that I was pissed off!
He had tried to kill himself. He had waited for the day he would die with much anticipation as he had waiting to see me again. How much of a fight did he put up to stay ali

“He was a suffering man. Death was an inviting relief.” He half yelled. “When I turned, I wanted to go home and bring my wife so that Ash could turn her too. And once our son was of age, he would turn too. We would be together forever. I would never have to face the risk of them dying.”Confused, “But you told Ash you didn’t have a family.”He arched his eyebrow at me. “What would you have said to a werewolf offering you eternal life, only if you were alone in the world?”I nodded, taking a sip of the Vodka.“Two years later, when I got home, Catherine was dead.” He clenched his jaw and then took a huge gulp of the alcohol, probably hoping to push down his exposed emotions but it didn’t work. It was like watching his heart beat.“She was a casualty of war. Hungry deserters killed her in our farm for a few potatoes. When she didn’t go back home, the neighbor we

I sat on my bed, staring at the diary for the second week, wondering what I would have done in Dave’s place. I’d finished reading it, and it was just filled with memories of everyone else except me. Even my grandparents made the cut, except my mom’s mom, Lena. Her part was like a cliffhanger in a novel.“Do you think she was like me? It would explain why we both didn’t make the cut?”The twins just stared blankly at me in response.I smiled, “This is why I like talking to the two of you. You don’t offer any stupid opinions.”“Maybe because they are babies and they have no idea what you are talking about,” Ash laid on the bed next to me.I cut my eyes at him, “I know they understand me.” I brushed the hair off his forehead. “Ash, do you know anything about my grandma Lena?”He shrugged, “How would I?”I pulled my hand away, too tempted

Ash let out a long breath and then turned to face forward. He stayed quiet for a long while, making me very uneasy.“Tell me about your tattoo?” I asked, hoping the light topic will change his mood.“What tattoo?” He asked drily.I touched his left shoulder, “the one you have here.”He looked at my hand on his shoulder, “it’s a tribal mark. I got it after the initiation.”“Is it supposed to show that you are a man? Was the bear not enough to attest to your manhood?” I joked.He smiled then looked at me, “I prefer that humor.” He took my hand and kissed it, “It’s also a symbol of where I come from, my tribe, my family and my earth name.”“Water?”“River.”“Will AJ have to get one of those?” I asked with much reservation. The more I asked about his family, the more I found out things I didn&rs

I sat on the floor facing the main door, my knees hugged to my chest. This was the tenth day since Ash disappeared and with each passing day I felt like I was losing my mind.“This is my fault, I shouldn’t have trusted him.”Maria put her hands around me. “Everything is going to be okay Lee.”Tears flowed freely down my cheeks, “I can’t lose him Maria. I just can’t.”“It’s been too long. We should have heard from him. At least you guys should have.” Ann lamented.Billy made a frustrated noise. “We’ve searched everywhere and there is no trace of him.”“I’d feel better if we could hear him or sense him. But there’s nothing, just silence.” Joe said.My head shot up, “What are you saying?”Maria tightened her hug. “He doesn’t mean anything by that.”“That mutt led him to

Ben knelt in front of me, his hands squeezing my knees. “I’m sorry Lee. I really wanted to tell you but Ash wouldn’t let me. He said he didn’t want to frighten you.”Billy walked to the door impatiently, “We’ll deal with that another time. Ben, take me to the last place you picked up Ash’s scent.”“Lee...” Ben wept.I looked up at him, “Go. We’ll take about this later.”“Lee.... he might already be dead.”I shot a livid look at him. “For your sake, you better pray he’s not!”He nodded and rushed out the door Billy behind him.Maria went to Joe. “Aren’t you going with them?”He held her tight in his arms. “They are just going for recon and then they’ll come back. We need too plan our attack carefully.”“Lee, are you okay?” Ann asked stroking my arm.No, I

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

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.”
Hiding From My Mate Chapter 109
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
