Alaina POV
My grandfather. I know so much has happened but I can’t get over it. Shock, that doesn’t describe how I felt when he attacked me while I was talking to Isla. I can’t get my mind to focus. One minute I am talking to this man that claims to be my grandfather, then I’m with Dr. Clara, then I’m holding Austin’s head in my lap, while he gets cuffs and a collar on. What happened after that… I can only explain it as demonic possession.
‘Oh, a little melodramatic there don’t you think Alaina?’
‘Do you have any other explanation there Ty? Because I sure as hell don’t! Pretty sure YOU didn’t randomly take over and I KNOW that I don’t have all that in me!’
Ashton POV ‘You need to hear this.’I get from Ty. ‘… FU.CK DO I HAVE TO DO ALL THIS SHIT? WHY AM I HAVING TO GO THROUGH SO MUCH BULL.SHIT? FOR WHAT? FOR A SICK PERVERSE GAME BETWEEN A PSYCHOPATH AND A GODDESS? I DIDN’T FUC.KING ASK FOR THIS SHIT, I DIDN’T FUC.KING ASK TO BE ‘THE CHOOOOOOOSEN ONE’. I JUST WANT TO BE ALAINA, I JUST WANT TO HAVE MY FAMILY AROUND ME, I WANT TO BE HAPPY, I WANT TO BE ABLE TO LOVE MY GODDESS DAM.NED FUCK.ING WENCH OF A SISTER! I WANT TO BE ABLE TO GO ON DATES WITH ASH AND NOT HAVE TO BE WORRIED ABOUT BEING KIDN.APPED, I WANT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE CHILDREN AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS FUC.KING AS.SHAT TRYING TO TAKE THEM TOO! I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO LIVE MY LIFE LIKE THE REST OF
Alex POV “What do you mean Finlay did this?”Livid, no livid doesn’t touch how incredibly P*SSED off I am! HOW is it even remotely possible that the goddess damn LUNA was left alone in the cells with her ab*ser? How is it possible that she was within his reach even? I cannot… I have no words! “ASHTON! EXPLAIN!”He lets out a low, loud, warning growl, but I don’t really give a sh*t! “How DARE yo-“ “NO! Not how dare ME! How DARE YOU! How did this happen? How was he able to do this to her?”Osain, Cal
Ashton POV “BOTH of them will be ok.” She is going to be ok. I can finally breath a little. It has felt like there’s been an elephant sitting on my chest, not able to get enough air, suffocating me in guilt. I shouldn’t have let her walk away like that. “Wait…” One of the guys calls out. “Did you say both?” HUH?! BOTH? ‘Both… more than one?’ ‘That would be the definition of both. Well, more specifically about 2.’ &nbs
Alaina POVWaking up to the incessant beeping tells me a few things. One, I’m still alive, two, they saved me… again, three, I have a wicked migraine, and four that I am not nearly as angry as I was when I went to see Finlay. I am acutely aware that there is talking, and movement, around me but it takes a while for me to really wake up. Being in that limbo state of not quite being awake, but not still asleep either, is frustrating! That all being said, waking up to a cold, slimy, thing being put on my abdomen is disconcerting and more than a little creepy. Had I not heard the machines beeping I would have thought that I had been kidn.apped again!As I open my eyes I can feel Ash’s hand, gently, grabbing mine and giving it a kiss, that is probably one of the most comforting things someone could do for me as I wake up! “You had me so scared love.”&
Ashton POV “But one of the more troubling things… is the prophecy and the ritual.”I forgot to tell her SH.IT! How does she know about the rituals? “The rituals… I forgot about…” “How did yo-“ “Ash, there are things that the elders in Ben Lomond told me. So, we have another week and a half, two to be safe, before they can’t do anything.” “And these are MY pups, the ritual is for you to have a girl with someone who is not your mate.”I can feel my chest puff up w
Alaina POVI know I am not making sense to Ash and them, I know that I seem a little crazy right now but I get it! Walking down the hallway to the cells I make the guys stop just inside the door, promising I wouldn’t get within arms reach of the bars ~que eye roll~. ‘Que the eye roll? Really Al? He almost kil.led you!’ ‘Oh, shush you!’ ‘Don’t you shush me!’I hear Ash try to cover a laugh with a cough. Turning I can see his face is red, and he is having a serious issue holding it in. What is so goddess da.mn fu… *Did Ty link you
Isla POVI grew up being told I was special, I grew up being told I would change the world, I grew up being loved and doted on. Until I didn’t shift. Then I was basically cast aside. Dad told me that I was a shame to him, to our pack, and that my mother gave her life for a ‘good for nothing, useless, wolfless, leech’. I’m not sure what hurt more, HIS disappointment or the packs.I don’t remember my mom, according to dad she di.ed while in labour with me, and her dy.ing wish was for me to be loved. Which I was, for 13 amazing years! I was the apple of my daddies eye, I was treated with love and respect from the entire pack, and I had been promised to the Beta’s son. I spent my days playing, I had a tutor, and had absolutely zero cares in the world. That was until the day of my 13th birthday, the pack finally gave up waiting for me to shift, before I was shunned, a pariah, used as a way for the warriors, and my
Isla POV “Good, now, 30 laps of the territory. You want to cause issues for the Alpha then you will pay for it.”With that they all take off the warrior that talked back hanging back for a second, as if he wants to talk, but as he slowly walks towards me and looks around his eyes go wide, and he takes off with the rest. That was interesting, but I look over my right shoulder and see the Beta walking towards me. My shoulder sag, as I hang my head, either my dad told him to come deal with me, for the issues in his office, or he’s here to deal with the fact that I, literally, ran into his son earlier today. Either way I am so scr.ewed! “Isla.”He calls out to me. I take a deep breath in through my nose and slowly let it escape through my lips before turning around to talk with him.
