Chapter Four: Happy Birthday

Chapter Four: Happy Birthday

James 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 declare myself Rogue.”

Ashley’s POV:

My head was still spinning as I tried to digest the information my dad gave me. How could he do that to his mate? Why wouldn’t he let her go? Why did he make her suffer? I couldn’t tell if I was angry at him or if I understood why he did what he did. All I knew for sure was I was ready to go home. Thankfully after I ate enough dinner to make Dr. Anderson content, I won’t starve. He let me go home. I hadn’t even spent one night in our new house, and yet that’s the only place I wanted to be. As I walked out of the hospital, I expected to see my dad's truck. He said he needed to run home to get some stuff. But it wasn’t my dad. It was Alpha Michael waiting for me. ‘Of all people why him’ I moan to dash. I could hear her almost purring like a cat at seeing him.  ‘Knock it off Dash I’m serious we are waiting for our mate.’

I rolled my eyes, standing on the curb waiting for my dad when Michael walks over.

“He’s not coming Ashley.”

“What why? My dad wouldn’t just leave me. We don’t always see eye to eye, but he wouldn’t just leave me here. Right?”

“ He couldn’t handle you knowing the truth he went rogue after he got some stuff from your house.”

I could feel my knees trembling, and it took everything in me to fall to my knees crying. The tears were building in my eyes, but I wouldn’t cry in front of the Alpha. Before I could walk away, I felt Dash take over. Alpha Michael stepped back in shock as I shifted into a silver wolf. Not grey, black, white, or red, but truly Silver in the moonlight. Dash took off running towards home.

‘Dash, do you really think he left us?’

She remained silent; that was the only answer I needed to know it was true. As we approached the front door, Dash gave me back control. Thankfully it was dark, so I didn’t just provide every male in the pack a free show as I unlocked the door. Dad’s scent was old. The smell of Saltwater and pine trees was fading. I felt my emotions going numb. I shut Dash out, shoving her to the back of my mind and locking her away. In the last year, I had felt so much pain I couldn’t handle anymore. I walked into my room and shoved everything off the bed. It was hard to fall asleep, but I finally fell asleep as morning streamed through my bay window.

Today was supposed to be important. Finally, eighteen, Able to find my mate and leave this place. But right now, I don’t want to leave this house. I wandered downstairs, catching my breath at the smell of cinnamon and sandalwood. I knew that scent felt like home, and I could feel Dash trying to get free, but I wasn’t ready to feel everything yet, so I kept her locked away. The House was empty, but the smell was fresh. I walked into the kitchen to see chocolate chip pancakes with whipped cream and purple sprinkles, the same breakfast my mom made me for my birthday every year. ‘How did he know?’

That was enough to open the flood gates. Sliding to the floor against the wall, my chest felt heavy. Rogues killed my mother, my fathers’ actions got me cursed by the Moon Goddess, and  He abandoned me. Sobs ripped through me for what felt like forever. My eyes burned from crying when I finally managed to pull myself off the floor and sit at the table. I picked at the breakfast he laid out for me. Dash was still fighting me to get out. I let her come forward enough to communicate but not enough to take control from me.

“Happy Birthday to us Ash!”

‘Not now Dash I really don’t feel like celebrating.’

I decided a shower would be best. The warm water felt nice and seemed to soothe my soul.

“Ashley are you okay.”

The sound of his voice from outside my bathroom door had Dash Screaming.

“Mate! Mate! Mate! Mate!”

“I’m fine,” I tried to shout, but it came out as timid as possible

As I stepped out of the shower, he opened the door. His breath caught at the sight of me naked. Before I could process what was happening, I stepped closer. I looked up at him unashamed and carefree.

“Mate”

His lips crashed around mine. His arms wrapping around my waist, picking me up. I locked my legs around his waist. Michael moaned as his cock hardened; I could feel my Arousal climbing. Michael moved us to my bed as he kissed down my neck, lingering over my marking spot. As he laid me down, he let his hands trail over my DD breast. Leaning forward, he took one nipple in his mouth while he gently rolled the other between his fingers. My heart raced, and the pressure building between my thighs was almost too much to handle. I reached between my legs to clit to get some relief when Michael's hands grab my wrists, pinning my arms above my head.

“Not yet he growled”

  Nipping at my nipples, I pressed my hips against him, needing relief.

“Ashley,” Michael’s voice caught my attention, pulling me out of my lust-filled distraction.

“Is this your first time Ashley ?” Michael sounded concerned

I nodded my head, almost ashamed.

“ I was saving myself for my mate.”

Dash whimpered in my head, echoing the feeling of not wanting him to stop.

“ I can’t take you here.” He kissed my cheek as I whimpered, wanting him to touch me more.

“Please, Michael I need this. “I pleaded.

“Don’t worry Sweet Ashley before  is the week is through, I will take you in every way possible.”

“ Please, Michael you can’t just stop when you have me like this.”

Michael laughed, sitting behind me on the bed pulling me up to rest on his chest.

“Don’t worry mate you’ll be okay.” Michael wrapped his legs over mine, pulling my legs open not letting me close them.

“Show me what you like, Ashley’

I could feel my face turning bright red and my arousal heightening.

Michael reached into the top drawer of my nightstand, chuckling softly.

“Derrick told me about this when he got some stuff for you your first night here. I want to see how well you use it.”

I didn’t have to look to know what he was talking about. Michael handed me the vibrator and started kissing my neck.

Moaning, I lowered the vibrator, letting it settle just above my bud as I slid two fingers deep inside me. I could feel Michael smiling against my neck.

After just a few mins I felt a climax rock through my body. Knees bending, toes curling back-arching mind-blowing Orgasm.
