ALPHA ASHAI held her in my arms, my wolf calm and growling softly in happiness. How could I have let go of this? I was so stupid to think I could somehow love without her, like she wasn’t literally being the air I breathe.I settled so willingly with her, like as if she had never left ams was halfway to her pack- house before I chased them down, I had been greatf for the shortcut I used to catchup to the car. I leaned in close, my gaze fixed on her pretty lips.I kissed her deeply, pouring every bit of emotion into it. Praying my legs wouldn’t give out from the sheer relief of having her in my arms again. I hadn’t exactly prepared a speech on my way over, my brain too focused on covering as much ground as quickly as possible, so when she’d asked me if I forgot something, I’d leaped at the opportunity to kiss her again. It was all I’d been craving for.I was so glad she hadn’t fought me or told me to leave. I wasn’t sure if I would have been able to leave, not without my own wolf havi
PIXIEAs soon as the words left my mouth, I could see the flash of hurt in his eyes. His eyes shuttered again and he began closing himself off. I suppressed a smile, reaching up to thread my fingers through the hair that curled at the base of his neck.“I’m not going back with you,” I said, my gaze dropped to the dip of his throat. “At least not now”His eyes lit up and he looked at my with hope sparkling in the depths of his beautiful eyes. And it made my heart so warm, so happy that he seemed as though he really did want my to come back with him.“ What you said… even if it did hurt me, but you were right. I think we should spend some time alone to sort through some things. We both have a lot going on behind the scenes, and I think we should figure out if we have feelings beyond sexual attraction. I think we owe ourselves that, don’t you? I want us to have a real chance if we want an actual relationship.”He took a deep breath, one that made his chest expand until it brushed hers. H
PIXIEAs we neared my pack lands I began to feel the nerves crawling into my stomach and turning to lead.Jared remained calm at the wheel, his face betraying no signs of anxiety.“Jared,” I called softly, the silence in the car hurting my ears. He hummed in answer, keeping his eyes on the road.“Please could you drop me off about a mile out?”“A mile?” he repeated, looking confused. “Asha wants me to make sure you get there safely. That means he expects me to drive you close enough to the front door.”“No, that’s not safe for you,” I argued. “I know my pack’s lands well enough to get back without any trouble. Please, Jared, I don’t want to give Dwight a reason to come after your house.”“You mean ‘our house’,” he teased. “I get it. I’ll stop exactly a mile out, no more than that.”“Thank you,” I said, breathing a sigh of relief. “And don’t jinx things, you never know what Asha might decide.”I didn’t expect him to burst out laughing at the suggestion that Asha might not feel the same
PIXIEAmber threw her arms around me in the most possessive manner, and I couldn’t help but find this funny.“I’m so glad you’re safe P.” Amber said with relief, like I was ever in any actual danger.“Oh come on Amber, you know I wasn’t in any danger.”“We can never really know now can we.”I rolled my eyes, her suspicions on Asha were void.“How was the pack while I was gone?” I asked, though I knew no one really noticed and no one really cared anyway.“Ugh, how would I know? I had to be at Tristans’ to fool your parents you were with me this whole time.”“Oh yeah, that’s true.” I shook my head at my foolishness. “I’m a bit tired Amber…” I fell back landing on my bed and enjoying the comfort of the baby soft sheets.“Of course you’d be tired, you must have gone like ten rounds on that Alpha.”I laughed, reminiscing on the slow sex I had with Asha that made my belly rumble and churn with tingling nerves.“But lucky for you, I know just the things…” Amber said in a happy voice, leaving
PIXIEI hugged my mother a safe trip, my father gave me a complementary nod before the car zoomed off. When I got back to my room Amber was no longer on my bed, where she had gone to was still a mystery for me. I picked up my phone from my bed and dialed in Jareds number, it rung for a short moment before I heard Jareds goofy voice on the other end of the line.“Miss Penelope.” Jared said, his tone friendly as always.“Hi Jared, is Asha close to you?”“Ahh, not interested me eyy?” He joked.“You know it’s not like that…”“Yeah yeah I’m just joking with ya, but no, he’s not too close but I could pass a message.”I sighed, wanting to talk to Asha directly.“No, tell him to call me once he’s close okay,”“Okay boss.” Jared said and I just knew he had said it with a salute.I my phone down, flinching when Amber barged into my room with worry making her face white.“P!”“Amber!”She sat besides me, stress eating from a large bowl of honey yellow popcorn.“You need to tell me whats is going
ALPHA ASHAThree days.Pixie had asked me for three days to sort through the mess in my head, and for her to sort out the mess in hers.Three days had passed and I still hadn’t heard anything from her.I had told myself it was only because I’d been watching every second pass, the clock on my desk taunting me by moving slower. At least, that’s what it felt like. I had used Jared phone and texted to Amber about Pixies return once I got home, wondering how he had got her number in the first place but then not caring enough to investigate. Every minute passed slower than molasses, and I had been close to the end of my tether by the time Jared had returned.“She’s returned to her packhouse,” Jared told me, running a hand through his brown curls. I grunted, glancing up at my cousin before looking away again, my mind lost to memories of Pixie.“Is she safe?” I’d asked. It was all that mattered to me in that instant, and Jared’s resounding silence had bothered me. “Jared, is she safe?”“Well
PIXIEShifting was no use when all your energy had been drained out of you from a constant pointless struggle.Dwight had done all but slept with me yet and I could already foresee that coming with the way his grey eyes darkened with lust each time he roughly felt up my body. He was determined to get his scent to sink into my pores, and his large frame had me pinned to the bed so much that all I could see and perceive was him. His fingers pressed against my mid again, I gasped when he made to slip in a finger but only felt my hope dwindle even less when all my efforts kept on shrinking in vain.The past few days had been like this, Dwight made sure he had me locked up in my own room, introducing his scent to me so much that my room stank of him. Amber had come to see me a few times but Dwight made sure it wasn’t long enough before he made sure she left, and the worst part of this all was the fact that my father had given him the right to handle my well being so he used that to his own
ALPHA ASHAMy entire body pulsed with bloodlust, threatening to hand me over to my baser instincts. Just hearing his spiteful voice through the phone was enough to ignite hot anger in my being.“If you know what’s good for you, you’ll back off of my mate! You have no claim over Silvas’ daughter,” Dwight growled into the receiver, low and deadly, his body probably burning with malice. “You never have.”I growled in response and cut him off before he could say a word.“I suggest you make sure you’re clear of her because I’m coming to take her,” I warned. “And if I see your face, if I so much as smell you on her, I’m going to rip your spine out through your mouth and wear it as a fucking boa.” My words dripped with hate, so much that it made my wolf rile in my chest, memories of how I had demolished him in that hall came back to me and I so wanted to do the exact same thing again only this time without Amber stepping in the way of our fight.“I dare you to take my true mate from me,” Dwi
