Ash POV"What are you talking about? Nothing happened!" My voice sounds high-pitched.She pulls away from my neck to stare at my face. I try to look her in the face but I can't. She squints her eyes. "Are you lying to me?""No, I am not. You're seeing things." I reply, trying to keep a straight face.She turns to Kay. "Did something happen? Ashton won't tell me anything.""That's because you're imagining things." He responds and turns his attention back to Kelvin and Douglas.I am glad Kay did not say anything about it but his response only made Bennie more suspicious. I can tell she is about to say something but then Kate shows up.She walks to the tree with Flavia by her side. Flavia doesn't say anything even when Douglas tries to say hi to her. She just sits on the grass on the other side of the tree."Where is Ben?" Kate asks."Vi sent him on an errand," she replies and lays her head on my lap."Bennie," I cry. "Head beta.""Don't sweat it, she's not here."I shake my head, she ne
"Caspian," Vi says. "What brings you here?""Nothing much," he says as his gaze falls on me.I shiver and hope I look smaller as I slowly retreat behind Bennie. She doesn't notice, thankfully."We just finished racing around the field and the spar is about to begin. Would you watch it?" She asks.Caspian shakes his head, "I am here on another business. Ashton!""Yes," I answer a little too loudly."May I borrow her? Her part of the training is over isn't it?" Caspian looks at Vi with a conceited face."Yes," Vi drags. "However, she watches. Her injury is mostly healed so I am sure she will be able to spar with us soon enough." She glares at him.I gasp a little. Is Vi really expecting me to join them soon? I can totally join if I just have to use my arms even though I have never fought a day in my life but I am mostly worried about the wolf part.I don't know if Caspian told her, she doesn't look like she knows about it and I don't want to have to divulge it to everyone. It is still s
Ash POVCaspian literally kicks the door open. He pulls her into the room and closes the door behind her. He doesn't stop until they get to the bathroom."Want me to help you undress?" He asks with a smirk."No, thank you. I can do that myself." I glare at him.He is standing directly in front of me and doesn't look away. I can literally see the bright look in his eyes. He looks like an excited wolf."Can you look away, please?" I say with a displeased expression."What's the point? We are going to bathe together anyway." He smirks and looks very proud of his sentence.I swallow and take my top off knowing that his eyes are following my every move. I let the clothes drop to the floor and get into the shower stall as Caspian follows behind me.It is a little awkward and I face the wall, feeling very embarrassed. This was too fast wasn't it?"If you don't want me to join you? You don't have to condone this." He suddenly says."Huh?" I turn around to see him standing by the entrance bare
Ash POVI feel one of his fingers rest on my pelvic bone and all thoughts of doubt fly out the window. I push my hips forward trying to get him to touch me lower. I spread apart my legs without even thinking about it. I am like a dog in heat. I want his fingers there and I want it now."Ashton," he groans in my ears. "You can't imagine how much I want you."He slides his finger down and I swear as he touches my heat. "Fuck!" He curses.He gently rubs against it and whatever strength I have in my legs immediately dissipates as I buckle against him. He places his other hand on my stomach to support my weight as I lean on him.Without much warning, Caspian pushes his finger in and I squeak. He pulls it out and pushes it in as deep as it can go and I feel my walls twitch.Without missing a beat, Caspian wiggles his finger as if searching for something. I gasp as he hits a sensitive spot. He presses against it and all reason flies out the window.Caspian begins to shake his finger and I g
Ash POV"We should go before I get distracted."I blush and nod in agreement. What else can I say to that? Especially when it triggers memories from the bathroom. I am still tingling downstairs.I shake my head and completely shut down the thought from my head. I head for the door without hesitation. Caspian is by my side in an instant and he quickly opens the door for me."Thank you," I say and try to walk out the door but he pulls me back. "Now what?" I ask, feigning annoyance."Nothing," he says and tucks some of my hair behind my ears, then he adjusts his sweater and says, "This suits you.""It's oversized and I have to fold the sleeves else it will look like I am putting on a mascot.""You're a cute mascot." He says with his face inches from mine.I wheeze and look away from him, "What happened to not getting distracted?""I am not," he says and kisses my forehead while I keep my head bent. I am blushing like an idiot.It's a quick kiss and he pulls me out the open door as I re
Ash POVI watch her leave and I can't help the uncertainty I feel. What's this? I don't understand it and I don't like it."Don't pay her any mind," he says sternly. "She can be like that sometimes.""Why didn't you want her to tell me?" I ask, slowly tearing my gaze from the door."Because, it really isn't a big deal and like she said it was less than a week. I can even call it a relationship because it wasn't.""It is fine," I say darkly but it's not. However, I know if we talk about this any longer it will leave a bitter taste in my mouth and I want to enjoy the meal. I try to take reprieve in the fact that he doesn't just cook for anyone. It doesn't make me feel less shitty.Caspian returns to cooking while the conversation thins out. He doesn't say anything for the rest of the cooking and I don't have anything to say to him.I rest my head on the table and keep it there as my thoughts run amok. I am so annoyed that the only thing I can think about is how close they were before t
Ash POV"Tell me about you and Claire." I mutter and watch the color drain from his face.Caspian ran his hand through his hair. “What would you like to know?” He asks.I look away from him. Should I drop this? Was I being too nosy? Was this not as important as I was trying to make it?"Everything," I pout, still looking away from him."Alright," he says and sits on the bed beside me. "Claire joined the pack about more than a year and half ago. I can't remember when exactly. I found her shivering in the forest while on patrol." Caspian pauses with a loud sigh.I turn around to look at me and he pulls me to him. He lands on the bed and my head lands on his chest. I try to fight out of his grip but he holds my head."Stay," he says and rubs my head.I nod and place my palm on his chest. He seems calm but I can tell he is a little anxious."Apparently, she was on the run after her pack had been attacked. She was the only one who escaped, well, at least that's what she thinks."I nod to l
Ash POV"It is fine. I have always wanted to talk about it. As I said, I don't really understand the circumstances but it ruined the friendship between Nathan and Jamie. Jamie is the werewolf who came by my parents house, he used to be my brother's best friend."Caspian nods his head, "I think I remember him. Actually, I do remember him."He looks lost in thought for a second and I think he is going to add something but he just says, "I am listening.""Anyways, Conall is a big help during this time and my brother and I probably wouldn't have gotten over my parents death that easily if it wasn't for him."Conall was awesome, there was no other way to describe the role he played. He is a big part of my life and my brother too that's why even though it's a little glaring I can't bring myself to believe he would kill my brother or even have anything to do with it in the first place.I pause a little, after my parents death, all I have with Conall are happy memories. I wince but I already
Ash POVIt has been more than three days since the birthday party. It went off without a hitch. I had so much fun I can barely remember the incidents except that Caspian refused to let me out of his sight. He said I was too beautiful to be left on my own, according to him someone might kidnap me. Even though there was no chance of that happening, I did like the fact that he was all over me. It did get annoying at some point but he didn't stop me from having a good time.However, even though I had a swell time a couple of days ago, I am in bed with the sheets to my neck and a fever band on my head. I fell sick. It's a full moon today and the patrol is compulsory but Caspian is missing out on it to stay with me. I feel awful, he is the alpha of the pack but I am keeping him away like this."You know you don't have to stay with me. It's just a little fever, I will be fine on my own." I say as he changes the fever band on my forehead.He glares at me, "The fact that you think I would le
Ash POVIt's my birthday, I am actually more excited than I thought I would be but it wouldn't have been possible for me not to be excited not with the enthusiasm Claire has shown as the birthday party planner."You don't have to go this far Claire, I can handle this," I say as she forces me to take a seat in front of my dresser."Absolutely not. It is your birthday, there is no way I am gonna let you dress up by yourself.""But…""No buts," Bennie says and holds up two different earrings. "Which do you think will match perfectly, Claire?""Huh? Aren't you supposed to ask me?" I yell out."Nah, I am pretty sure the designer is the one who decides.""It's my day, don't I get to decide anything?""Of course not. Leave everything else to us. It's your day," Bennie says, wiggling her brows. "You're not required to do anything. Let the adults handle this.""Wait, what do you mean adults? You're just a couple of months older than me." I glare at her."Still older," she smirks.I glare harde
Ash POVI move my head even faster and he grabs my hair to pull me off him. I don’t understand what this means and I hold, not letting him pull me off.“I am gonna…” he blurts out and I feel him spurt against the back of my throat. I swallow before I realize what is happening.“Did you just swallow?” Caspian asks as he pulls back my head with horror in his eyes.I smile up at him, nodding. “Why? Spit it out.”“I can’t,” I reply. It wasn’t exactly my intention to swallow. I can taste it at the back of my throat and it tastes gnarly.“Why did you swallow it?”I stick out my tongue, “It tastes weird.”“Don’t say that,” Caspian says with an embarssed expression and I burst out laughing.He grabs my cheeks and pinches them a little too hard, stopping my laughter immediately. “Ow,” cry, “That hurts.”“Serves you right.”I try to kiss him and he shrinks back in fear. “Nooo, I don’t want to taste it.”“I swallowed it,” I glare at him.“You didn’t have to,” he says and looks away.I raise a
Ash POVI am kneeling on the bed with my legs across Caspian. He is sitting on the bed with his back against the bed’s headboard. He is hard as a rock underneath me and I feel him press against my sensitive parts. I can swear I feel him grow some more and it takes me everything not to squirm against him. His hands slowly make their way up the back of my shirt, I try to keep still as his warm hands caress me. They slowly move from the back to the front until cups my breast with his hands. I break the kiss and lean on his shoulder as I try to catch my breath. His hands on my chest don't slow down and all I can do is hold on to him as the waves of pleasure carry me away. I am supposed to be in charge, why am I the one panting against him while he is in perfect state? Without thinking I softly bite the side of his neck and Caspian groans against me. I bite harder and he curses. I suck on his neck and he squeezes tighter on my breasts.His fingers pinches the tip and I gasp, I throw my
Ash POV"Wait for me," he whispers directly into my right ear. I feel his breath on my ear and the side of my neck, it sends shivers down my spine.I nod obediently and he pulls away from me. I watch him while rooted beside the door. He doesn't turn around and I keep watching him until the bathroom door closes.I put my hand to my chest, it is beating so hard I am sure he heard it before he left me. I groan and climb to the side of the bed.I slip between the sheets and pull the cover sheets all the way to my face. My face reddens as I think of what will happen when he comes out. I cover my face with my palm and close my eyes."Oh no," I mumble. I can't quell my excitement.I sleep on my side with the sheets pulled all the way to my head. It's a little hard to breathe underneath it but it hides my face.After what feels like forever, I hear the bathroom door open and fight the urge to peek out of the sheet. I hear Caspian bustling around in the room and then I hear his footsteps appro
Ash POVI don’t know who is more surprised by the kiss but Caspian recovers quickly as he presses me against him and kisses me hard.I pull away from him gasping for air. "We should go inside," I say with my head down."Indeed," he says with amusement and kisses the top of my head.He removes his hand from my waist and grabs my hand. He pulls to the door and holds it open until we both go through the door.I immediately smell cooking but Caspian doesn't let me go and just pulls me through the living room and to the stairs. We stop in front of his room and he still holds me tightly."Caspian," I say gently as he opens his door."Yes," he responds but doesn't make any attempt to look at me."Let me go to my room and clean up. I will join you in a moment." I say as gently as I can even though I am fighting the urge to smack the back of his head."No," he says without any explanation.I open my mouth to protest and he pulls me into the room and shuts the door. He closes the gap between us
Ash POV"Just be happy with the person you like and stop being so stiff and let someone love you." She says with a bright smile."I can let someone love me, stop saying weird things." I glare at her."Oh really, I can tell you're the one with the issues in the relationship because Alpha sounds like he wants to keep you all to himself. I mean anyone with an eye can see that.""He just has a protective streak," I say with a pout."Protective my ass. Do you see him lifting me in my arms? Why do you think I thought something was going on between you two?" She smirks knowingly.I sigh, I want to tell her my fears but I will have to tell her more than I want to and I don't think I am ready for that."I do think it's a good thing," she says when I don't say anything. She looks to the corner of the room and screams out. "Holy smokes! Look at the time. Vi is gonna have our heads.""Oh my goodness," I say, following her gaze. "It's past five. What's Kay doing?"I rush out of bed and yo the war
Ash POV"Claire!" I cry. "I can't breathe.""Oh my God. I am so sorry." She says and immediately lets go of me.I lean forward and go into a fit of cough which subside quickly, thankfully. I take a deep breath and lean back on the couch."It is fine," I smile faintly at her.She still looks worried and she leans on to check my face. "Are you okay?" She asks.I nod, "Yes, I am.""Sorry about that," she chuckled awkwardly. "I just wanted you to know how sorry I am.""I get it and thank you for apologizing.""It's no problem." She said and gave me a hug before standing to her feet. "Let me know if you need anything."I nod and she waves and skips away. I sit on the couch for a couple minutes and I remember that I did not reply to Bennie.I quickly shoot her a reply apologizing without giving out any details. I don't want to explain on the phone if I am going to explain in person.As soon as I am done replying, I head upstairs. As much as I want to check on Kay I know it is better to give
Ash POVI hear the sound of the microwave go off as I start to send out a reply. As I stand on my feet I hear the sound of someone coming into the kitchen. I turn around to see Claire and I instinctively freeze as the memory of the conversation I had with Caspian pops in my head. For a millisecond, I am stunned and at a loss for words. "Ashton," Claire says and walks into the kitchen.The sound of her voice snaps me out of the trance and I manage to smile as I say her name. "Claire, good morning.""Rough night, huh?" She says with a soft smile."Not really," I say and turn away from her. "I was just lazy." I stop in front of the microwave and pull out my meal. Boy, does it smell heavenly.I blow a mind kiss to Damien and make my way back to the table. I see Claire is also seated and my stomach knots up but I immediately ignore it and go to sit opposite from her.I dig into my meal but she doesn't say anything, just sits watching me eat. I frown but I don't comment, I just pick up my
