Returning Home

                                                                         Ashton (Ash)

“ Wait! We did not work alone,” the rogue told the wolf “Someone hired many of us to attack your pack. “

“ We can't believe anything he is saying, “ the wolf said to Ash, who was watching everything with his eyes “ he is probably trying to save his skin.”

“ Yes, there's a good chance that might be, but there's also a good chance that he was telling the truth, “ the man said to the wolf, making him question himself for a second.

“ there's only one way we can find out,” the wolf said, and the man knew what was coming; within minutes, the wolf was pushing back, giving the man his body back, but he did not go too far; he wanted to see if the rogue was telling the truth.

Only humans can find out for real with the gift that the Goddess blesses us with when had found our precious mate, “ why would anyone hire to attack my pack?”

“ b-because the person that hired us didn't want you to mate or something” got the wolf's attention; now, why would someone? Wouldn't that happen?

“ he appears to be telling the truth,” the human said.

“ kill him! We dont need him anymore.”

“ how do you plan on finding whoever intends to kill our mate and which they succeed. “ he reminds the wolf.

“ Damn human, fine, we take him back to the pack for Cohen to question,” the wolf said to the human, honestly, that's not what they want, but this is the first time they ever heard that someone had planned all this out.

They need more information, and who better to get them than Beta Cohen? Giving the body to the wolf, the human went back to being sad and pathetic since we lost our mate; the strong Alpha had become a shell of his old self.

It's been three months since the alpha had left his home and pack in the hope of finding the one that took away his mate; he didn't even think that he would find that person, but that didn't stop him from killing every rogue that he saw.

Until now, he had no hope, so knowing that there was someone else, someone more significant than the rogue that was pulling the string and that's the reason why he was returning to his pack, only so he could use the resource to find that person responsible for his heartbroken.

“Alpha!” Was the first thing he heard when he got to the border; I was taken aback that they even remembered me “Of course they do; you're their Alpha after all.”

As they opened the gate, I saw my friends and parents ruining that sight alone, almost tearing me up. Making a quick step, I reached my mother, and she fell into my arms. I had to keep my composure because the whole pack was watching, and I didn't want them to see how broken their Alpha had become.

Silently the five of us walked back into the pack house while nodding my acknowledgment to some of the pack members who were standing there welcoming their Alpha back home; once we were in the office, I took a moment to look around, and it still looked the same as I left it three months ago “ we couldn't bring ourself to change anything in here” I hear my mom said.

“ It's alright; im sorry that I walk out on you guys and the pack,” pushing my hands through my hair. “ I will have a meeting with them soon, but right now, I need sometimes”

“ Oh, we get it, son, im just so glad you're back to us. “ my mom.

“ Did you find what you were looking for?” Dad asks.

Did I? I don't know if or what the hell I was looking for, but I did find something “Yeah, Dad, I found something, something that poses more questions than answers.”

“ We don't have to talk about them now, Cohen can take the rogue you bought with you, and ill have the kitchen bring you some food while you clean up and get some rest.” my mom was dragging me off the chair and out of the office, we make our way to the second floor where my room was and when we got in front of the door.

I was frozen to the core; My hands were shaking, and I couldn't bring myself to open the door cause I knew once I walked into the door, her smell would be all over the room, and I didn't think im ready to face that yet, clearing my throat. “ I think I'll stay in the next room. Can you have someone bring m some clothes, please ?” I asked her.

“ of course, son, “ she left me.

Walking into the room, I sighed and walked straight to the bathroom cause Mom was right; I did need a shower badly. After doing precisely that, I found the clothes on the bed. Putting them on, I dreaded going to sleep because I knew what was coming.

I didn't want to go back to that place where the woman was, where my wolf seemed to be relaxed about her, and to my surprise, she did something to my scars; when I looked down at where they were, it was all gone except for the shape of the moon that was craving on my tight.

That weird dream makes me want not to sleep, and my wolf is not In the mood to tell me who the woman was and what she did to me. The only thing he kept saying was, “In due time, you will find out” That pissed me off cause I don't have time for anything new right now; my focus is on finding out who the hell thought it was a good idea to attack my pack and take away my love.

So now, having a woman invade my dream was not the time for me; if the Goddess thought I could take another person as my mate, she got me mistaken cause there is no way I will let someone else into my heart.

“ looks like I have my work cut out for me.” those words jolted me out of my sleep; I looked around to find who said that; when I was a woman coming from around the corner of the room.

“ Who are you? And how the hell did you get here? What do you want?”

“ so many questions and so little time; I want you to listen and listen well to me; you will find it in your heart to let love heal you, and together you guys will achieve some fantastic thing.”

“ fantastic thing, how? Look at me, “ I told her because I am in no condition to let anyone in or be great,

“ Oh, son, you couldn't possibly be wrong; I have planned for you and for my plan to work and for you to bring justice to whoever is responsible for the death of your mate.”

“ Okay, what do you want me to do?”

“ sleep” With that, I was falling into the obliviousness of darkness.
