Ashton's POV

Ashton POV

I watched as my mate, who I just marked, ran away. My wolf and I had mixed feelings; on one hand we finally marked our beautiful mate but the look in her green eyes she gave us almost broke us. She looked frightened of us, she was angry at us, she fucking threatened us with a swiss army knife. She could have hurt herself. But she looked like she really hated us and ordered me to stay away. I felt my wolf whimpering at the thought of never seeing our mate again. But I'm going to make sure that doesn't happen.

''Ashton" Josh shouted, and I growled at him. "Yes, I know you're still the Alpha, but what the fuck did you just do." This time I growled harder.

"I just marked my mate, something I should have done the moment I met her." I answered in a calm tone, trying to keep my wolf at bay.

"You know what is going to happen right, you forced marked her. If she's not accepting the mark she could die. If you're not completely the mating process by the end of the month, she could die, hell she could even die from the mark itself. Or what happens if she changes or goes in heat and you're not there. This is not your territory, and I don't think the Alpha here is going to happy to have a new rogue on his land. And lastly did you not smell the wolf sent on her, I think she met them already. I don't think she knows it yet but still. This is not good." Josh replied.

I know he was right. And that smell was one of the reasons I couldn't not mark her anymore. They needed to know she was mine. But fuck I need to make it up to her. I need her. I feel like I'm dying inside without her. And fuck I need to protect her. But how, Josh is right, this is not my territory. I did mention that I was coming, but I never asked permission to enter. I just went. And then there is my pack. I need to take care of them, hell my pack needs my sweet Luna Evie and I think she is going to need them.

"I KNOW OKAY, I KNOW I FUCKED UP. BUT WHAT DID YOU WANT ME TO DO? JUST TAKE HER WITH ME, KEEP BEGGING FOR HER FORGIVENESS? THERE WAS NO WAY IN HELL I WOULD LEAVE HER HERE." I told Josh in my Alpha voice. Josh bowed his head in submission.

"Yes Alpha, I'm sorry." Josh apologized "I'm just worried about Evie. She was my friend as well" he added.

"Yeah well, she is my mate, do you not think I would know what the best thing would be to do at the moment?" I asked him, knowing full well he was in the right and I was in the wrong, but still. I am Alpha not him. He needs to know his place.

"Would not be the first time you didn't do right by her." Josh mumbled.

"I'm going for a run" I didn't reply to Joshes statement and just walked off. I know they were friends, but she is my mate. It's my job to worry about her, not his.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I looked around to find a nearby forest. This was another territory, which was still kind of a problem, but I'll deal with that later. Anyway, there should be a forest nearby, wolves always live close to a forest to go run and sometimes go on hunts. I sniffed the air for a forestry smell. When I finally reached the one, I walked for another mile before I took my clothes off, hid them in a bush and shifted into my big dark brown wolf.

I ran for about 5 miles till I reached a lake. I went for a drink and a quick swim. When I was relaxing for a bit, I smelled other wolves nearby. I considered running for like a second, but it was probably no use. There were about 3 wolves coming my way and even though I'm an Alpha and could outrun them, I didn't want any problems with the Alpha here. So, I decided to wait and relax a little more.

Like I expected a minute or so later the three brown wolves arrived, one a little bigger than the other two. Probably someone of status. They shifted back and the one of status, who I think is the Beta asked me to shift. Not as confident as he would probably be most of the time, he could most likely feel that I am an Alpha. Not wanting any problems, I decided to comply and shifted back.

"State your business Alpha" the beta said.

"I'm Alpha Ashton, I'm here for my mate, she ran off and I followed her here. Your Alpha should know about my arrival" I said.

"My name is Dylan Jones; I am the Beta of the Silver Moon Pack. " So, I was right. Nice instincts Asthon. "Which territory you are currently on. So, I guess welcome to the Silver Moon Pack. Could you come with us to our Alpha to discuss this?" The Beta said, who I should probably call Dylan now.

I just nodded and we shifted back. I mean we were still all naked. Wolves are not really cautious about being naked, due to it was just normal growing up. Although I don't really enjoy walking around in human form naked in a forest. So yeah. Wolf-form it is. I also don't think humans would react kindly to four naked guys walking in the forest.

When we arrived at the pack house, Dylan brought me to an office and knocked on the door. Am I really waiting to go inside? I'm a freaking Alpha, I don't need permission to enter. But then again, I still don't want problems with this pack, till I get my mate back.

After not getting an answer Dylan went in to check. "The Alpha is not here at the moment" Dylan said. "If you can just wait her for a second, I will go check where he is." I could sense he felt off asking an Alpha to wait. I don't blame him; authority means a lot to wolves. I was used to it by now. Only my own parents and other Alpha's and some Luna's were not nervous to talk to me. And Josh of course. That guy is not even afraid of me anymore.

"Sure." Was all I said.

"The Alpha is away on important business at the moment but will be back later today. Is it okay if you wait in the lounge? And do you want anything to drink or eat?" Dylan told me.

"Okay, do you know how long it is going to be?" I asked.

"No sorry, I don't. The Alpha had an emergency. So, it was kind of a last-minute thing."

"Okay, I will take a coffee, black, no sugar or milk."

"I will have someone get it for you." We walked in the lounge. The room kind of looked like my pack house. But then again all the pack houses kind of look alike. A lot of wood and a homey vibe. I took a seat on the couch. A few minutes later a girl around my age came into the room with my coffee.

"Here you go Alpha." She said with a flirty tone. I gave her a nod and dismissed her, not wanting any more problems than I already have. Not that I would ever sleep with another girl, except Evie. If she would ever give me a chance. This is going to be a hard few week. Who am I kidding, it will more likely be weeks or even months?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few hours later the Alpha was still not back. It was now 10 pm. Seriously, what was so important to make me wait for hours. Don't get me wrong, the pack members of the Shadow Moon pack made it as comfortable as possible. I got some steak with veggies and fries as dinner. All brought by the same flirty girl. I dismissed her every time. If I were not in this situation, where I had to keep my calm because I didn't know this Alpha, I would have put her in her place. Probably throwing her in a cell or something. Why are some she-wolves such whores. Like a bitch in heat. I feel bad for her future mate.

In the meantime, I called my father to see how everything was back at my pack. He was currently taking his old position as Alpha. He could survive a few more days as Alpha. I also told them about my situation. To say they were angry at my behavior would have been an understatement. They literally told me, that they would not be surprised if Evie would reject me for sure this time. My mom even told me she was ashamed of me at the moment. Which kind of hurt, but I understood where she was coming from. At home everything was calm now, which was not really normal. So, I assume something is coming.

After my call, Dylan came back to tell me that the Alpha was back and ready to see me. We walked to the office again and Dylan once again knocked on the door. This time there was an answer.

"Come in" I heard a voice. Dylan opened the door, and we went inside. I took a seat in front of this Alpha. He looked about my age as well. Which was not really weird. A lot of guys took over form their dad at the age of 20. "So, you are the infamous Ashton." Okay I guess this guy doesn't like me.

Well, this is going to be fun.

    Evie’s POVKristin, Alex, and I arrived back at the dorm. Kristin opened the door and waited for us to get in. "Are you coming?" She asked."No, go ahead. I have to talk to Alex about something." She gave me a wink and smirked."Sure, be safe and don't do anything I wouldn't do." She laughed."Ha, ha, very funny. I don't even do things you do." We were both laughing now. While Alex was just staring at us, like we were crazy. But I guess we are, so I don't mind. "But yeah, I'll be okay. Lock up when you get inside.""Yes mum." She said while walking inside. Now it was just me and Alex. "You wanted to talk? So, talk." I said to him."Well how about you tell me how you really got that bite on your neck." He shocked me."I already told you how I got it. There was a dog.""And don't tell me it was a dog." I signed."But that is th-" I tried to get out of the awkward situation."Please don't lie to me Evie, who is

    Alex POVWhen I was listening to Evie's story, I got so angry, she didn’t even know what was happening. How could someone do this to their mate. I wish Evie were my mate. I would treat her like the queen she is supposed to be, or should I say Luna. How can someone deliberately hurt their own mate.I felt like I was almost shifting because I was so angry. I wanted to choose Evie as my chosen mate, because I still hadn’t found mine and I felt comfortable with the idea of having her as my mate. But now, that's not even possible anymore. She's wearing his mark, Alpha Ashton of the Shadow pack. I heard the stories about him, he slept with almost every she-wolf in his pack. And apparently even after he found his mate. The pain she must have been trough and not even knowing why makes me and my wolf even more angry.I needed to find a way to help Evie, I don't know how yet but maybe one of the elders know how to help her. When Evie was finished with her stor

    Evie’s POV Okay that just happened, after fleeing one wolf I found another one apparently. Well, that sucks. Anyway, when Alex left, I did what he asked. I went inside mine and Kristin's dorm. I remember how hard it was to get this dorm together. We specifically told the dorm manager that we wanted to have a dorm together. He told us that it would be no problem, but still we ended up not having one together. Apparently, he confused us with to other friends Maya and Daimy. I ended up having a dorm with Maya, while Kristin was paired with Daimy. When we found out we immediately switched, but we ended up being good friends with them and we sometimes go out with them too. When Kristin and I finally got our dorm we all went to the home store and bought all our stuff together. The dorm was already furnished with a big grey couch, 2 small black metal coffee tables with a wooden tabletop, a small TV and cabinet around and under it, wooden dinner table and chairs.

    Kristin went to school this morning, she had a later class than I did, at 10, I think. So, when she woke up, she turned on the music to listen to some pop music. Which was not a nice way to wake up, even if it was the second time. Now don't get me wrong I like pop music sometimes, I mean I like Justin Timberlake, but not early in the morning before I had my coffee. I'm more of an old school music kind of girl, like Bon Jovi and Queen and I kind of like country music in the morning. When she realized I was still at home and not yet at school she asked why, of course. So, I just said my neck hurt and that was believable enough. I mean it kind of does, not the kind I expected it to hurt, more like a tingling feeling. It's kind of irritating to be honest.When I finally got out of bed, deciding I couldn't go to sleep for the 3rd time this morning, I went to the bathroom to do my business. Got the braids out of my hair, now it was flowing in waves around my face and not the boring

    I was sort of still freaking out. I mean who wouldn't when they just heard you wolf probably shift in a freaking wolf. It wasn't even my choice. Now don't get me wrong, it would be kind of awesome to be able to shift into a wolf, but Ashton took my choice away when he bit me. Kat had the good idea to give me some chamomile tea. Something about my heart beating fast. I keep forgetting that they could here stuff like that. I was getting a little more relaxed, but I still didn't know what to do. "Is it still possible to reject Asthon once I've changed?" I saw Ashton looking up at the mentioning of his name. "It is possible, but because he marked you, he would most likely die of a heartbreak. You see, a wolf gets one mate in its life. Sometimes but rarely twice when a mate dies or when rejected fully before the mark." "What do you mean rejected fully? He rejected me the moment he saw me, and I rejected him months ago" "Yes, my dear you did say it,

    Kristin just ran into our dorm saying something had happened. "Okay what's wrong?" I asked looking confused at my shocked best friend. "Okay so I was just shopping for some groceries, because well you dropped the last ones. Not that I'm complaining. I mean I would probably drop them too if something like that would happen to me. But I got some vegetables and frui- "Kristin focus, what happened" I asked. "Oh yeah sorry, well as I walked out of the grocery story. I might have seen your ex." "Huh? What ex?" I replied looking curious. "Ashton, do you have any other exes I don't know about? Anyway, I think Ashton is in town" She said still with a shocked face. "Oh, that ex, I know" I replied. Seriously that's it? "What do you mean that's it. Wait, you knew? And you didn't tell me." "Yeah, uhm I saw him already" Seriously what should I tell her, that he bit me, that that is the reason I knew he was in town. For me.

    I woke from the sound of my alarm, I looked over to my alarm clock and saw it was 6.30 am. "Jeez I hate morning classes." now don't get me wrong I love mornings, well at least when it's not cold outside. It's the beginning of fall and now I have to wake up when it's still dark outside and it is really getting cold. I got out of bed about 10 minutes later, after an internal battle deciding if school really was more important that a good night sleep. I went to the bathroom put my towel on the heater, striped my pj's and got into the shower. After washing and conditioning my hair and washing my body I got out of the shower. Luckily because of the heater, it wasn't too cold, and my towel was nice and warm. Once I dried myself, I put on a matching set of a navy bra and panties and stood in front of the mirror. "Damn I look like shit". I had bags under my eyes and just looked tired. To be honest I haven't been sleeping well. "Well just suck it up, I have to go to school".

    "What are you doing here Ashton?" I asked again as he just stared at me. "Are you following me?" a minute later the bartender came back with my drinks, I paid for them and gave him a tip."Well, no, not exactly following" He replied, still with a lustful look in his eyes. "Also why did you give that asshole, that was just checking you out, a tip?"How are you not exactly following me?" I asked using air quotes with the not exactly following part. Also pretty much ignoring the stupid other question he asked me."Well, I was just going to get a burger with Josh, but then I smelled you in here, so I came to check it out?" He rubbed his neck in a nervous gesture."Well, that is just something every girl wants to hear, you smelled me." I said with a sarcastic tone."You know I did not mean it like that. You know us wolves can smell our mate from a few miles away. It's not a bad smile. For me it was the most wonderful vanilla and jasmine smell." He

    EpilogueEvie’s POV5 years laterI have been a doctor for five years now as well as the Luna of the Dark Wood Pack. I really love both jobs, helping and healing people is just my passion, and I’m glad that Ashton could finally see that too. We had our twins almost five years ago, damn time goes fast. Our oldest daughter Riley Katherine, the next Alpha of the pack, and our son Ian Lorenzo. Ian and Ashton are very protective over Riley, but what did you expect, boys will be boys. Riley on the other hand is a little dare devil. Always climbing on anything and playing roughly. Yes she’s defiantly the next Alpha alright.After the twins we had one more boy Benjamin James. We wanted more kids but when I was pregnant with Ben I had some complications, where I almost died. So, I decided it would be better to tie my tubes, Ashton was definitely on my side with that decision because he didn’t want to lose me. Oh, by the way Ben is three yea

    Alex POV I didn’t know what to do, I was frozen in my spot, as much as I wanted to move I couldn’t. Before me, was my mate, bleeding out on the floor. I felt tears streaming down my face. I finally understood why I was so drawn to Evie, I knew she wasn’t my mate, but she brought me comfort. “ALEX!” Evie shouted. “Come here and help me.” I could finally move and walked over to Evie and sat down beside her. I wanted to reach for Lily’s hand but didn’t want to scare her at the same time. “Lily, this is my friend Alex, he’s going to help you, okay?” Lily nodded her head. “Alex come her and grab her hand.” “Hi Lily, it’s nice to meet you.” I gave her a weak smile. “Well, I hoped it would be under circumstances.” Lily snickered. “It’s.. okay., it.. doesn’t.. hurt., that… much.” Lily spoke, and it was literally music to my ears. “Alex pick her up, we mind linked Josh, and he will be here in a few minutes with the car, the doctor is already waiting.”

    “Please calm down Eve, you’re going to burn a whole in the ground with the pacing.” Ashton put his hand on my shoulder. “Do. Not. Tell. Me. To. Calm. Down.” I growled at him. Yes, I was pacing, but that was my little cousin he had. Well not that little, I mean she’s 19, but still. He got to my family, MY FAMILY. “Okay, okay, sorry you’re right. But we will get her back.” I signed and put my head on Ashton’s chest. “I know, but I’m worried. It has been 2 hours since we heard anything.” After I called Alex, we tried tracing the call, but it was no use. The phone was either turned off or broken, so there was no signal anymore. The last known signal was, when I called her, but that was still hours away. Why oh why did she have to stop for food, oh yeah the famous family trade. We sent out scouts to look for her, they looked around the restaurant, but they hadn’t much to go by, because I just had a picture of her, nothing with her smell on it, so that was

    The new training schedule was in full mode, all the guys and girls that were of age and not hurt in any way or pregnant were participating. They all knew what was happening with the rogues, and that fucker Marcus? Marvin? Oh, wait Marco, yeah that’s right. He had a lot of support from rogues around the county. Even though he wasn’t as powerful and strong as our pack, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was happening. As for me, I was back in college, with Kristin, I wanted to finish my studies to become a doctor. It was hard combining being Luna of the pack, and full time studying, but hey there are a lot of people around the country that study and work at the same time, so why couldn’t I do it as well. “Are you okay?” Ashton asked, while taking a seat next to me on the grass, watching the training. “I’m not sure, it’s almost too quiet. I mean it was almost a month ago since the attack and nothing.” I let out a sign. “I mean I expected him or the rogu

    Kristin’s POVI was at the gym, working my ass off, just to make Josh happy because that guy loves working out. And I would do anything to see that smile of his.“Come on babe, just 5 more.” He was talking about push-ups.“No, I don’t want too anymore. My arms hurt.” I protested. I mean, I care about my looks, but I’m more of a pilates and running kind of girl. Not this butchering of building strength. “Why do you like this so much. This is literally torture. I could still be sleeping.” And I needed it, after hearing Evie and Ashton last night, I got so horny, I almost jumped Josh’s bones.“Okay 2, that’s my final offer.” He laughed, yes, the fucking idiot had the decency to laugh at my dismays. But I did it, I did to more fucking pushups and I crashed to the ground.“Happy?” I looked up at him.“Yes babe, you did good.” He picked me off the

    Ashton's POV I woke up with my sweet mate in my arms, which was pretty much the best morning ever. Last night she let me mark her, and she even marked me, which kind of surprised me. Not a lot of she wolves have the strength to mark their mate, it happens a lot more often with a she wolf that has another she wolf as her mate, but a she wolf marking her male wolf doesn't really happen, especially an Alpha. But fuck it felt good, her claiming me. I was already hers, but this just shows it off, but it also means that Evie is strong. And I couldn't be prouder. I looked at her laying on my chest, still in a deep sleep and decided to bring her some breakfast. She probably won't wake up for a few more hours, so I have time. I quietly got out of bed an put on some shorts and a shirt and walked out of my room and down the stairs. As I walked in the kitchen, I saw my mom standing.Shit I forgot to introduce them. "Well good morning son, nice of you to com

    "What, you want to do that now?" I got nervous, because yes as cliche as it sounds, I am a virgin. I was always too busy with school and just didn't notice when someone liked me or was interested in me. So yes, the old cliche of the bad boy Alpha man-whore and the (not so) shy virgin girl. "I mean I want that too, but. Ughh, I don't know." I got frustrated with myself."Hey babe, relax okay. I won't do anything you aren't ready for. That's why I wanted to talk to you. Yes, I want to be able to communicate even if we're not close. But I would never force you okay.""Okay, I want you to mark me." I'm not even sure why I said it. But the moment the words left my mouth, Ashton's eyes went darker."Don't say it if you don't mean it baby." He growled."I mean it." I said as I brought one leg on ether sides of his lab straddling him. I leaned down and crashed my lips against his. He immediately kissed me back with the same passion, which caused me to smile. He l

    When we arrived at the pack house, my dad ran outside, saying something about someone breaking through the border.Seriously now, we just arrived."Rogues." Ashton and Josh said at the same time."Rogues? Now?" Shit not now. "Did they know we were going to back today?"Yes now, fuck I don't know if they did, we have a problem. Go inside with Kristin and look for your mom and mine. I will find you later okay?" He gave me a quick kiss and ran off with Josh."What the hell."Okay now is not the time to be stubborn. "Come on Kris, let's go inside." I pulled her with me. I looked for my mom and Ashtons mom and found them in the office.Well not really the way I wanted to meet my future mother-in-law. "Hi mom and hi I'm Evie, I heard about the rogues. Are all the mothers with children inside?" Not really having time to do the whole meet and greet now, we will have time for that later."Hi, I'm Amanda, Ashtons mom

    Josh’s POV It was around 8 pm, the night of Evie’s first shift. Kristin and I decided to stay behind to give her some space. The first shift is hard, so she needed to stay calm. I was sitting on the couch with my sweet mate in my arms. "How do you think it's going with Evie?" She asked. "She will be fine, have faith, she's strong." "Yeah, she is." She was quiet for a while and looked at her phone. "What's wrong?" I worried; Kris is never quiet. "Uhm I kind of told my mom about you, and she uhm. She wants to meet you." She said quietly. "Sure, when?" "Now?" She replied, like she's questioning it herself. "Oh, uhm okay, let's go I guess." "Wait are you serious? You don't have to; I can come up with an excuse that we're too tired or you're too busy with pack stuff of --" I silenced her with a kiss. "Babe it's okay. I mean we leave Friday.
