Caspian POVI turn to the second holding and I growl. "Tyler," I say and rush to him "What are you doing here?" I yell. I immediately notice that he isn't the only one in his cell; there are five other werewolves with him.Tyler has some bruises on his face and clothes look slashed. I can't begin to comprehend what must have happened but the fact that he is held here means he caused some disruption."He broke into the main house last night," Vi says as she walks down the stairs. "We were able to stop him before anyone got hurt."I spin on my heels, "Why didn't you tell me?" My eyes widen as I stare at her. I can't believe something as serious as this happened and she didn't think to inform me.She shrugs, "There wasn't any need and you said you'll be here by tomorrow so I didn't see why I had to hurriedly tell you. Besides, I had it under control.""What if something worse happened?" I ask with a puzzled expression."But it didn't," she says as she stands beside me. I glare at her b
Ash POVBennie asked me to follow them out at Caspian's return but I refused. I don't know why but for some reason I feel weird rushing out to meet him. I watch them as they leave and I just sit on the living room couch.I don't stay there for long as I don't want him to return and catch me here. I'll be in my room waiting so I can tell him to take me back to where he found me, it will be better for everyone.I was scared shitless when Tyler broke in and was going to accept his request but then out of nowhere, Kay threw the first punch and they started fighting.I am so glad Vi and the fighters intervened fast enough before anyone could get hurt.I feel nothing but guilt, there is no need to drag them into my fight. Absolutely no need to do that. I intend to go back and hopefully join the top pack my brother is always talking about.They will definitely be able to hold their own against Crimson Moon Pack and Rogue Pack will be left alone. I hope they will take me.I should probably st
Ash POVAs Bennie pulls me out of the house, I try to call Caspian again.Caspian.I stop abruptly pulling back Bennie, she stops in her tracks and eyes me oddly. Something just responded to me but it sounds nothing like Caspian."What's wrong?" Bennie asks.I shake my head, "Nothing." I must be hearing things because I want him to reply to me.I start walking and Bennie follows after me, easily going ahead of me but I don't notice this I am trying to teach Caspian. Where are you?Ashton. His actual voice reaches me. I gasp in relief. He is fine, I was starting to get really paranoid with the message Vi told me.Where are you?I ask again, I almost stumble over a stone as Bennie pulls me to the house.I don't know.He says, he still sounds strange and even though I can hear him now, I can't help but be worried that something is wrong. I just wanted to let you know that I am fine. You don't have to worry about me, okay? Tyler didn't hurt me. I am good.Tyler? Why does he sound so a
"I will do it," I hear myself say and internally smack myself.What am I doing? But I know there was no way I stand on the sidelines when they are relying on me. Vi's face immediately brightens up and she gives me a small smile. "Call him," she says.I nod, "Caspian!" No response, not even a budge from the huge wolf."Louder and move closer," Vi says.I take a step and I see that they don't follow me. Am I really going to do this by myself? To say that I am scared is an understatement.I make two fists and move even closer. I want to try my hardest. He has done the most for me in such a short time, if I can't help him out of this, I doubt I will be able to look myself in the mirror again."Caspian!" I yell, and my voice echoes in the space.The huge wolf turns to look at me. Its head arches to the side as it studies my face."Caspian," I call again, softly this time. I don't look away from the wolf's face and it doesn't look away from mine."Caspian," I say and take a step forward a
Ash POV"What?""Ash," Kay says slowly. "Did you forget you have an injured arm?"I redden, I indeed forgot about this. I did not put much thought into the idea when I offered my help. Also, it doesn't hurt as much as it used to so I have been moving it around without feeling any pain."I-I… It shouldn't be hard." I mumble, looking to the ground. Ugh, this is embarrassing.Damien places his hand on my shoulders, "Don't worry. I will take it from here. You can stay and help," he says with a smile.I smile and I nod at him."Good," Damon says and walks away from the bed. "I am out of here." He walks to the door where Claire stands by the doorway. He grabs her and starts to pull her away."Wait," she cries. "Damien, are you sure you don't need my help?" "He doesn't," Damon scolds."Damon," she glares at him."I don't, Claire. Ashton should be more than enough help.""Alright then, don't hesitate to let me know if you need anything, and since you're busy here. I'll make lunch.""Thanks,
Ash POVNight falls faster than I expected. I close Caspian's door as I walk into his room. What am I doing here? However, I don't want to leave him alone just in case he wakes up at some point.Doctor Louis didn't come around until evening and he didn't say anything was wrong. Only to inform him if Caspian doesn't wake up before the morning.Doctor Louis didn't stay for long and he was gone in just a couple minutes after checking Caspian. I can only take this as a good sign.I sigh as I slide in beside him. He is still sleeping peacefully, he hasn't even more from the spot Damien laid him on. I scoot closer and peer into his face. There is no movement under his closed lids. However, he is breathing fine.I should probably try to get some sleep. I lie on the bed and look up to the ceiling. Can I really stay here? Wouldn't it be in everyone's best interest if I left. Caspian wouldn't be like this if I am not here.Damien says the last time was three years ago and he is not blaming me f
Caspian POVI can smell something, I don't know what but I want to get closer to it. The scent is overwhelming and very familiar. The scent moves closer and hovers just above me.My eyes fly open but my vision is blurred. The scent moves away from me, I try to stop and I stretch my arm to grab it. I pull it toward me and I taste warm soft skin."Caspian," her voice breaks through my dazed state and I come to with my mouth on her nipples.I look up to see her red face and her hands over her eyes. Shit!"Ashton," I call softly. I can't believe I did this in my partly unconscious state. What is wrong with me?She raises her head to look at and I see the desire in her eyes and I fight to take my hands away from her body. Thankfully, I manage to pull away. I should have done that first but I didn't want to stop touching her."I am sorry," I said."It's fine," she says, shaking her head vigorously. She pulls her shirt downwards and moves to a sitting position."Did I hurt you?" I ask and t
Ash POV"I want to help," I say as I glower at Caspian.It's bad enough that he is on his feet with his temperature high enough to boil a freaking egg but now he wants to cook. I actually thought he was going to microwave some leftovers."I'd rather you didn't, Ashton." He says and turns away from me. "It's bad enough that you're not sleeping. I can handle this, don't worry about me."I sigh, "I am sure if I help it will be faster.""Yeah but I don't plan to cook a lot. I just want something fresh, that's all. Eggs and whatever I can quickly make.""Fine but if you so much as waddle on your feet, I'll microwave some leftovers for you and we will go to bed.""As you wish."I make my way to the table and take a seat. Caspian walks toward the kitchen counter and pulls out a chopping board.I watch his back and his moves around and for a millisecond, I wonder what it will feel like to run my fingers on his back.My face reddens instantly. I smack my face at the thought. Something must be
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
