Two weeks later
Ash POV:
“Jaqueline, its finally here. Tomorrow night I will become Michaels Luna and hopefully things will calm down a little bit.”
“ Oh Ash, we both know that it wont ever calm down. This is a werewolf pack after all. “Jaqueline laughed.
“you’re right and it doesn’t help my mate is clinically psychotic.”
“Who are you calling Clinically Psychotic” Michael entered the room giving emphasized air quotes around the phrase “Clinically psychotic”.
Wrapping my arms around Michael.” Why you of course dear Alpha”.
Before I could even laugh at the face he made ; his lips were crushed against mine.
“I’m stealing you away from here. Tomorrow is going to be long and eventful”
Michael POV:
As if a switch was flipped my future Luna went cold and limp in my arms. Pulling her to a cradled position in my arms I carefully laid her in the bed
Sorry I didn't post a new chapter last week. I'm not going to lie. I hit writer's block.
Chapter 16Walking into the Elder council meeting with Michaels Dirty little secret was torture. We sat at opposite ends of the conference table. Michael said it was so I couldn’t anticipate what he was going to do as he controlled the speed and intensity from his cell phone. The elders gave strange looks as normally the Alpha and Luna would sit next to each other. A brief second passed as I detailed my conversation with the Moon goddess emphasizing that she said, “beware of things that disappear in orange smoke”. A low hushed conversation spread among the table between Michael and the Elders.*Mind link*“Ash, you’re not going to like this. But do you remember what color smoke Veronica disappeared into?Michael asked me.“I didn’t go upstairs Michael I left remember. It wasn’t exactly the happiest day of my life.” To drive my point home, I made the whippdie doo motion wi

Chapter one: Remember to breathe Ashley’s POV A long-forgotten house came into view. The shutters lay in shambles on the ground, and the door looks like it is barely hanging on. It wasn’t Luxurious, but for now, it was home. We moved from Oregon, where we had an apartment over the corner coffee shop. Walking to school was questionable. We lived outside the pack in the Human town because my mom was human, and my dad is a werewolf. While it’s not outlawed anymore, it was still frowned upon. I live with my dad; my mom died in a Rogue Attack last year. The wounds are still fresh, and every day is a struggle. We left Oregon because the memories were too much to bare. Alpha Derek was great, but too much reminded us of her. Dad and I aren’t close; he spends most of his time in his study. I’m not sure if moving to Florida was the right choice, but there’s an Alpha here who said we could join his
Chapter two: “Why me”I was pulling the covers up around me as the door opens to reveal Beta Derrick.“ Time to get up sleepy head you’ll be late for the first day of your last week of school.”Anya growled, “ he’s way to chipper for tohis early in the morning.”Rolling my eyes at her, I reluctantly get out of bed.Derrick throws me a bag.“Alpha asked me to pick some stuff up from your house.”I stop dead in my track. He went through my drawers. I could feel the heat radiating off my face of pure embarrassment, not that I have anything I shouldn’t in those drawers but well…. Privacy much.Regaining my composure at the sound of Derricks' laughter, I quickly got ready for class. Thankfully this week consists of mostly half days.Walking out of the packhouse, I started to walk towards school.“Ashley! Get in”
Chapter Three: What happened?Michaels POV:“What’s wrong with her Andrew?” Surely the pack Dr. would have the answer. Right?“Alpha, I don’t know why she isn’t waking up. Her vitals are stable, and we haven’t given her anything to keep her unconscious. The best we can do right now is wait and see.”Murdock growled. He is impatient, especially with Ashley’s eighteenth birthday coming up soon. He just wants to claim our mate.“Derrick,” I called out to my Beta.“Call her father let him know where she is but tell him I need answers.”…………James came rushing to the hospital. The trailer f=of the remainder of their stuff was still hitched to his truck when he got to the Pack Hospital. He headed straight for Ashley’s Room. Derrick blocked his path and sent him to the conferen
Chapter Four: Happy BirthdayJames POV:I hate to leave her. I wasn’t a very good father to Ash, but she always made me proud of her. She is smart like her mother, and she is timid until you push her over the edge. She can have a fiery temper given the right circumstances.I looked around the house; I had planned to fix it up for her gave her a place to call sanctuary. After one quick look around, I left a large purple present box on Ash’s bed. It was a gift from her mom before she was murdered.Stepping out of the house, I saw Alpha Michael. I nodded to him.“James, Derrick will escort you out of the territory. Ashley is in good hands I promise.”“Alpha, I left something important to Ash on her bed upstairs please make sure she gets it.”“I James Garrison hereby denounce my loyalty to Alpha Michael Piers and The Red River pack. I dec
Chapter Five: OOPSAshleys POV“ That felt amazing” I breathlessly said to Michael. His rolling laughter threw me off guard making me “want to cover myself. I wasn’t sure what about this moment was hilarious.Michaels POVSeeing her climax was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. I can tell how un-experienced she Is and I can’t wait to claim her and show her all the ways I can make her cum. Rolling laughter bellowed out as she said that what she did felt amazing. she had so much to learn my sweet innocent mate. Kissing her shoulder up to where I would mark her and removing the sheet, she used to cover herself “ there are so many things you haven’t experienced yet that will feel a million times better.” Ashley’s eyes grew like saucers contemplating what I had just said. Climbing out of her bed “ I’ll se

Chapter 14:Michael POV:She was fragile and had been through so much, but she needs one thing that I could help her with right now.Murdock: “Mate!”Michael:”she’s in heat but we have to be gentle.”“Ash, I’m going to help you, but I have to be gentle and slow – “Her lips crashed down on mine before I could finish my warning. Her scent amplified my lust for her; the skin was radiating heat calling out to Murdock. Pulling her away at arm’s length to catch my breath.I fastened my hands on her hips, loving the way her velvety skin felt under my fingertips. Gripping her tighter, pulling her into the cradle of my body as I eased her lips open under and my tongue invaded. She’d given him permission. She didn’t care about condoms. Fuck. I could fill her up about a hundred times over. Everything he had belonged to her, especially his heart. I co
Chapter 13: *****Murdock and Dash conversation******** 'Murdock, your so close now I can easily communicate with you,' 'We're coming for you. Hold on just awhile longer.' 'I'm trying to I promise but Ash's body is too weak our accelerated healing has slowed down to nothing. Prepare Michael that he might be pulling her dead body out of here.' 'Don't talk like that we are just outside the building hidden in plain sight. Don't let her panic or give up. I know that room is soundproof, so she won't hear us coming. Make sure she knows you guys aren't alone.' 'Keep him safe, she won't make it without him.' Ash's POV This room robs you of your sense of sound. Screams for help dissipate against the walls. My sense of smell has become numb from the metallic scent of blood that cakes the floor; most of the fresh blood is mine. Shortly after the guards brought me in here, Zade arrived; he to
Chapter 12: StrategyThe ground disappeared from under my feet, and suddenly I went from standing in the clearing by the packhouse to darkness taking over my vision. I can feel the air whirling around me, the ground no longer beneath me. Moments later, with a hard thud, my body plummets to the ground. Varan stands above me, looking down. "My apology's Alpha, my magic reserves are fading as the equinox is only a few days away."Picking myself up and dusting off. "it's fine Varan, I understand. Did everyone else make it in one piece?""Yes, I successfully teleported all of the warriors, however teleportation doesn't agree with some of them" several nearby warriors were throwing up their dinners or dry heaving at the very least—a booming voice echoes over us."Alpha Michael, I'm glad to see you and your warriors have made it safely. Varan it's a pleasure to see you again."Varan spoke to my right, "old friend it is always a pleasur
Chapter 11: The winds will howlThe last thing I remember was standing before an ornate wooden door at the end of the hallway with stained glass windows. The next thing I remember, I was fighting to stay conscious. I have to get a hand on this premonition thing.“What did you see ?” the man’s voice rang in ears, his foul breathing hitting me in the face like twenty lashes. As I obtained a firm grasp on my conscious state, Dash rushed into control and, with a poetic voice, stated.“The winds will howl; the snow will bleed red a twister is coming and your house of cards will fall.”Her words sent a chill down my spine. My premonition was vivid; I was on the edge of a red-stained snow-covered battlefield—naked human bodies left in the snow. The winds were storming, and grief from those who suffered losses echoed in the air like the funeral march. I would recognize the wolf who stood in the middle of the field. The man befo
Chapter 10: An Unlikely AllyAsh POVThe cell has become too familiar. I have counted every slate of stone that makes the floor walls and ceiling. I found myself counting the times I’ve been beaten instead of days long for the sun and ash longs for the moon.‘how long has it been ash?’‘It’s been seventy-two beatings Dash I don’t know how many more I can handle. Our healing ability has been reduced to almost nothing.’‘we have to hang on just a little bit longer ash. Murdock is coming I know it our bond is weak since we haven’t made it but it’s still there...’The door swung open. I kept my gaze on the ground. I find that the beatings hurt less this way. I have become familiar with my assailant’s scents, but this one is different; I haven’t smelt it before. It smells like oranges and fresh-cut grass, unlike the usual vomit-i
