Alaina POV
It took a bit for the story Alex was telling to really register, but after we talked some more things clicked. Memories I had of Fin, weren’t really of Fin, and the memories of Fin essentially @bu$ing me being gone Alex was actually able to explain. After Alex and Osain were banished, I would ask for Osain, Alex had heard Liam tell me that there never was an Osain, that it was Fin all along. My father, the man who was supposed to love me, he had me believing that a boy who, for all intents and purposes, hated me actually loved me? How could a father do something like that to their child?
“We can’t go back Alaina, that would be su*c*de!”
“I have to go get Callum and Austin!”

Ashton POVRunning, all I have done is run. I know that an entire day has passed since I escaped, but I have no clue where I am. Ok, I have some clue, I know that I am still hours away from home, and I still cannot feel Jan, never mind talk to him or shift. Last night was so cold, I managed to find some clothes hanging on a line and managed to grab pants, shirt, and a sweater, but seeing as we are getting into the late fall it is cold as fack at night. I wouldn’t be surprised if it starts to snow in the next few days. Begin in human form not only means that I am cold, all the time but especially at night, but it also means I am so much slower, it’s given me a lot of time to think at least.I need to mark Alaina, that was agreed upon by me and Jan, I need to talk to Doc Song, to see what’s going on with Jan. I can’t believe that he is gone, it wouldn’t make sense with the prophecy. It talks about the High King and High Queen, in order for m
Alaina POVOsain has run ahead to try and find a vehicle that we can… borrow. I fully INTEND to bring it back, whether or not that happens I don’t know, but we have no choice but use a vehicle. There is no way we could walk far, Callum is being helped by Zach, and Mandy, and Alex and I are basically carrying Austin.Having been hog tied for goddess knows how long did a number on Cal’s legs, and he needs help supporting his weight right now, especially without being able to feel Theo. He doesn’t have the ability to heal quickly, so he will need help for a while. Austin though, I don’t know what’s going on with Austin. We haven’t been able to wake him.I’m brought out of my thoughts by a pickup pulling up alongside us and honking. “Looks like we are on pack land. We need to go like yesterday!”We shov
Alex POVEveryone knows of Alpha Ashton Lupin, but to actually be here, that is something I never thought would happen. Even with Alaina being the white Lycan, I figured I would be long gone before she met her mate, thought that maybe Osain might meet the Lupin family, but not me. Alaina and Alpha Ashton talked for a bit before he went to head back inside. Well, I guess we should get the other two out of the truck. I had just turned around when I heard Alaina.“WAIT! Callum, and Austin are in the truck and need help. Austin NEEDS Doc Song, Callum would do well to see her as well.” “Ok, Grant, can you get that set up?” “Yes, Alpha.”That’s about when he noticed us standing there.&
Ashton POVShe’s home, I cannot believe she is home! After Alaina explained who the new people were I couldn’t be more grateful for them, or her parents for making the blood oath to begin with! Who would have thought that a blood oath made by her parents would end up saving her life. The biggest issue with blood oaths is that they are generally one generation oaths. There aren’t many done this day in age, but in the past, the oaths would be made, and because they have to protect the person they swore to until their last breath, the person that swears typically doesn’t live long enough to have pups. Now, not only does Alaina have one person with the blood oath, she also has his son, and presumably his grandchildren, protecting her she was just offered another one. My mate is going to be very protected, and that makes me happy. Knowing that even if I cannot be by her side 24/7, She will have Alex, Osain, and possibly Zach. It gives me a little solace.
Alaina POVAshton had stopped laughing so abruptly I thought that something was seriously wrong. I don’t know what but something! “Jan, he laughed. Well, he said ‘he’ like a little chuckle but I heard him!”I can’t help but smile to a point that my cheeks hurt. I know that Ty and I would be so hurt if we lost Jan, but Ashton would be completely devastated and destroyed. ‘Ya he is! I knew he was still there.’ ‘Why didn’t you say anything then?’ ‘Ummm…’
Ashton POV Holy shat, I can’t believe this is happening, I never thought that I would be marking and mating with Alaina. I had hope, I prayed to Selene, but honestly, I never thought she would be ready. I especially thought that with everything that happened she would retreat back into herself like before, and fight me on the marking. I am in heaven right now, as I line myself up with her entrance. Giving her, her first org.asm and, hearing her moans has turned me on to a point that I am hard to the point of pain. Knowing this is her first time I try to get her to relax by shimmying myself out of my pants, hearing her giggle urges me on even more. I want to make sure that she isn’t going to regret this so I ask her, to the point of annoyance I am sure, if I can continue, in every part of what I am doing, I explain everything that I am doing so it doesn’t surprise her. As I crawl up the bed, and settle myself between her legs, I can’t help but admire how beautiful Alaina truly is. Sh
With the start of summer break coming in, and having kids, updates wont be as frequent, sorry. I will do my best to update as much as possible, and my hope is for twice a week over the end of June and through to the beginning of September. That being said... this book should be wrapping up soon. There will be a large break between this book and the prequels and sequels. I am going to write those to finality before I post them, then there will be absolutely no delay! That also being said I would LOVE to get feedback, the good, the bad, and the ugly. The more feedback that I get the better I can do in the future. Thank you :)
Alaina POV Going down to the kitchen in the morning I couldn’t help but try to hide my face behind my hair. Ash chuckles, stops moving, and lifts my chin to look at him. “Please don’t hide. You are absolutely beautiful, and I hope you are proud… or at least happy, to bare my mark.” He starts off confident, but towards the end he became quiet, uncertain, sad. Hearing this I snap my head up. “Oh, ASH! No, please, I’m sorry! It’s not that I’m ashamed that you marked me, it’s not that I’m not proud to bare your mark…” I pull him into me, my voice just loud enough for him to hear. “I’m just… they are all going to know what happened…” I feel him chuckle. “That is bound to happen anyways, love. They all know that it is going to happen eventually. They aren’t going to say anything I promise!” I nod against him, holding on for dear life for a few more moments. Once I felt ready, I step back, look up at Ash tucked my hair b
