[Leah’s POV]

Pain radiated through me as I collapsed to the ground, trying to catch my breath. What the hell was this and why wouldn’t it stop? Was this some type of sick joke that Kelvin was playing or…

"Help her!" Asher’s worried voice rasped as he appeared by my side. "Don’t just fucking stand there and watch."

"I’m…fine…" I panted, feeling something in me beginning to stir. "However... I believe..."

Before any more words can escape me, my fingernails start to extend into claws and hair begins to spring up along my arms. I was…shifting? I was really shifting into my lycan, but why?

"Leah?" Asher gasped from his place beside me. "How?"

"It had to have been Kelvin." Ian responded.

Letting out a growl of pain, I continued going through the motions of shifting and everything about it felt like the first time it happened. At least the vomiting had stopped, but why was this happening and how?

"Why would he break the curse?" Thia asked, placing a comforting hand on my shoulder. "Wouldn’t

    [Asher’s POV]I remained in place, watching as Leah tried to fool everyone into thinking that she was okay with the current situation she was in. It was both awe-inspiring and heartbreaking to see. Especially when I could feel her worry and frustration through our bond. I couldn't even begin to fathom having to wonder if I would ever be able to be human again or if I would have to live my life as a monster. And I was sure it was much more upsetting given that Arabia was still so young.Standing, I wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her close. It was almost like hugging her as a human, since in lycan form she was still petite. I wasn't sure if this was how big she would be, or if she was this little because she hadn't been in this form since she was sixteen.‘I’m fine.’ She sighed, relaxing against me. ‘Don’t worry.’How was I supposed to not worry? She was trapped as a lycan, and if we couldn’t find this mutans stone, there was a possibility she could spend the rest of her lif

    [Asher’s POV]By the time night fell, the Kitsune brothers led the way through the busy streets of the Inbetween’s black market. We had managed to easily arrive here without a portal thanks to Ian and Deon’s ability to teleport anywhere and everywhere. Now, it was just a matter of finding what we came here for."Do you know what this jewel looks like?" I asked Ian while examining the stalls that we passed by. "Or are you going in blind like the rest of us?""Maybe," Ian admitted sheepishly. "I have a general idea of how it should look.""Then how should it look?" I demanded.I wanted to find this damn jewel as quickly as possible so I could get back to Leah. Despite her wanting to come along, we just couldn’t risk letting her walk around in her condition. She would draw too much attention to herself.After a few bouts of stubbornness, she finally gave in and stayed back with the twins and children. Amazingly, Arabia wasn’t afraid of her, but I guess despite Leah being in her lycan for

    [Thia’s POV]I stared straight ahead as Antoine and Ashton helped their packmates send off the deceased. Beside me, Haidan remained stoic as silent tears made their way down her cheeks and dripped onto her brown hair that hung over her shoulders.My heart broke for all of them. Whereas I didn’t grow up in this pack and therefore didn’t have that connection, they were all connected. Maybe in the past that would have bothered me, but now I was happy that they all at least had one another still.Reaching out, I wrapped an arm around Haidan’s shoulder and pulled her closer."Thanks," her shaky voice sighed, as she relaxed into my side.Nodding, I kept my gaze on the lake ahead and the rafts that were slowly drifting towards the middle, where the warriors that gave their lives would soon leave this earthly plain. Once all were set asail, Ashton and the others lifted bows and arrows from the ground as Antoine went around lighting the tips."Ready!" Ashton called, lifting his blazing arrow t

    [Leah’s POV]A gasp escaped me as I watched Ashton, now in his wolf form, rush towards the lycans that were making their way towards us. Was he out of his mind? Even from where I stood, I could smell the rancid stench of rot and decay coming from them."Is he crazy?" I hissed, looking at Asher. "Can’t he smell that something is off about them?""I don’t think he cares." Asher responded, beginning to make his way off the porch. "We need to stop him!""Wait!" I yelled, beginning to rush after him. "What are you planning to do?""Stopping that crazy asshole!" Asher huffed. "Didn’t I say that?"Biting back my angry response, I continued following until we reached where Thia, Antoine, and Haidan were still standing, taking in the scene ahead."DON’T GO NEAR THEM!" Antoine roared, attempting to stop us. "They’re infected!""What about Ashton?" I demanded as Asher continued to move. "Are you just going to let him risk it?""My dumb ass brother does what he wants." Antoine growled, beginning

Two days had passed since the attack by the infected lycans, and despite much insistence that I note join Asher in collecting information, here we were, back in the inbetween and the place that Thia and Ashton had once visited for information about the dark mages.In the beginning, Thia and the others didn’t want me to come along, but since they insisted Asher do this, I wasn’t about to let him go in alone. After much debate, Ian and I agreed to join him, just in case."Man, it feels like an eternity since I’ve been here." Ian murmured, letting a smile of excitement spread across his lips. "I really do need to stop spending so much time in the human world.""Then why don’t you stop hanging around with Leah so much and come back here?" Asher asked, not bothering to hide his annoyance.Despite knowing that I shouldn’t have been happy about Asher’s clear show of jea

    [Asher’s POV]I stared down into Leah’s expectant eyes and expression of amusement. Did she really think pushing me like this was funny? If so, it looked like I would have to show her that I wasn’t one to be trifled with."Do you think this is some kind of joke?" I growled, lowering my face closer to hers. "Should I show you the possessive side of me?""Do it." Leah's challenge fueled my rage even more.Not responding, I placed my mouth against her mark spot and let my canines extend. If she wanted me to show her, then fuck it. I would."Wait..." Leah gasped, realizing that she had pushed too far. "What are you doing?""Taking what is mine." I growled, letting my teeth slowly begin to pierce her skin. "That way, any man that dares to come close to you will know that you already belong to someone.""Asher!" Leah growled, beginning to struggle. "I’m not a thing to be possessed!"Despite her strengthening her attempts to break free, I continued on as the darkness began to take over. It a

    [Thia’s POV]I paced the entirety of the living room, checking the clock every few minutes. Since Leah and the others went to the inbetween to speak with Q, I was a nervous wreck. I couldn’t stop the memories from coming of when my years were taken and the pain I felt in that moment. What if Q decided to take Leah’s? Would that bastard Asher allow it?"If you keep doing that, you’re going to create a hole in the floor." Ashton pointed out, coming up behind me and touching my shoulders. "They’re going to be okay, you shouldn’t be stressing yourself out.""I know." I sighed, leaning into his touch. "But what if something did happen? It seems the world has gone crazy these days. ""If something does happen," Ashton responded. "They can handle themselves. Don’t forget that Ian is a kitsune god that has hundreds of years to grow his strength and collect his tails. Not to mention, Asher is capable of strong magic. ""And Leah?" I tried, biting my lip as my worry for my sister flared. "What

Avoiding them didn’t make them go away!Letting out a huff, I attempted to try to push aside my anger that was beginning to grow again. I needed to be able to speak with Asher calmly. Once I was done settling this, I would deal with Ashton for what he did."Asher!" I repeated, looking around the dark street. "Where the hell did you go?"Wrapping my arms around myself, I began to move, making my way towards town where I could only hope Asher was currently located trying to calm down. Around me, the sounds of the night were beginning to erupt, painfully reminding me that I didn’t have much longer in this form."Stubborn man." I growled, quickening my pace as a chilling wind began to blow."Poor little lycan," a tinkling voice giggled, causing me to stop mid step and go on alert. "All alone because her lo

    [Asher’s POV]A gasp escaped me as my eyes flew open. What was… lifting a hand, I touched my forehead to find it covered in sweat. Sitting up, I watched as a black comforter fell down my body, revealing perfectly smooth skin."My scars..." I murmured as my memories of everything that happened up to this point crashed into my head. "Sssss.""Asher?"Trying to regain focus, I held my breath as I slowly looked over beside me to find Leah staring up at me in confusion. As our eyes met, a small smile played across her lips, sending my heart beating a mile a minute."Are you okay?" she yawned, slowly sitting up and touching my cheek. "You’re covered in sweat. Did you have a nightmare?""Nightmare," I repeated, remembering the moon goddess’ words about me being the only one to remember everything that happened before Selene was killed. "Y-yeah," I sighed, wiping sweat from my brow."I guess it was.""Mmm."Leaning over, Leah rested her head against my shoulder and let out a contented sigh."D

  • The Beta's Redemption   His Redemption

    [Asher’s POV]"Asher!"Antoine’s voice drifted through the roar of the power I was slowly drawing in as Selene struggled to break free. From the sound of his tone, I knew that he already had an idea of what I was about to do and wanted to stop me."Stay back!" I called, turning to meet his terrified gaze. "Just... stay back."Given the amount of power I was calling on, there was a good chance if he got too close he would be joining me and Selene in death. I couldn’t let that happen, since it would mean his death in our time as well."You’re going to end up killing yourself!" Antoine shot back stubbornly. "You need to stop!""No!" I hissed, feeling my power reaching its plateau. This was it. It was time to end this."But…""Promise me one thing." I began, realizing that there was one more thing that had to be done for the future to go back to normal."Promise?" Antoine repeated, furrowing his brows. "What?""Make sure he stays alive!" I responded, motioning towards a man that resembled

    [Asher’s POV]Jumping up, I kept Leah close to me as I drew on my power once again. The duo would pay dearly for what they had done. And then, once I was done with them, I would go and join Leah."Asher!" Antoine called as footsteps began to make their way towards me. "You need to calm down.""Calm down?" I repeated, feeling my anger spike once again. "How the hell am I supposed to remain calm when my mate is dead?""If you don't, you’ll end up killing everyone." Antoine pointed out in frustration. "You need to get a grip.""He’s right." Ian added, coming to stand beside me.Shaking my head, I continued to pull in power as Kelvin and Selene braced themselves. They were acting pretty pathetic for two powerful beings right now. Or were they?"Dammit," I growled, realizing that they were simply pretending. "Cut the shit." I spat, handing Leah over to Ian."Aw, poor hybrid." Selene giggled. "This is why emotions don’t belong in battle. When you let them take control, you’ve already lost.

    [Leah’s POV]"Stop it!" I shrieked, shoving Selene aside. "You’re hurting him!"Behind me, I could hear the yells of my comrades, but I wasn’t about to stop now. Sucking in a breath, I lifted my fingers and began to wipe the blood from Asher’s injuries."Why did you let her do this?" I murmured, feeling my heart break. "Why?""Because he is mine to do what I want." Selene offered in amusement."He isn’t a thing to be kept!" I snapped. "He is a human being!"At my words, Kelvin and Selene burst into laughter, causing a chill to race down my spine at how vile and evil it sounded."Asher dear," Selene cooed, pressing herself against his arm. "Would you please do something about this pest."Nodding, Asher reached out a hand and placed it against my throat. However, the minute his skin touched mine, an explosion of warm-soothing energy began to fill me."Asher," Selene snapped, realizing something was wrong. "Finish her!""Yes…" Asher hissed, as his eyebrows furrowed."If it will help you

    [Leah’s POV]I kept my gaze fixed on Asher as I continued to touch Ian. Despite the indifference that remained in his features, I could see the jealousy burning in his eyes. Good. This meant that even when the darkness had taken over, he still felt the bond between us. That meant there was a chance I could somehow trigger his other self, and no matter how small that chance was, I was going to take it."What are you doing?" Ian hissed, quickly realizing that I was up to something. "Are you trying to set off the angry demon?""Whatever it is." Kelvin called, easily hearing his words. "It won’t do any good. Your precious Asher is gone, and there is no way to bring him back. ""So you say." I growled. If there was a shot at getting Asher back, I was willing to take it. It was simply a matter of how far to push.Letting a slow smile spread across my face, I moved on from Ian and began to touch Craig’s neck and then his face. In the past, Asher had slipped from his act of being cold and pus

    [Leah’s POV]"Mallard has been around for a very long time." Craig began, growing serious. "I know that sounds impossible, but some claim he may even be immortal."Immortal…Shivering, I tried to picture being unable to die. After losing those closest to me, I found it hard to imagine carrying on. I couldn’t possibly imagine how it would feel to have to go through that again and again."Immortality only exists for those who dabble in the dark arts." Ian pointed out, "Are you saying you seek the help of a dark mage?""We do what we have to in order to keep the peace." Craig explained, seeming completely unphased by Ian’s accusation. "Wouldn’t you do the same?""Some…" Ian began, shooting me a quick glance as I realized who he was referring to. "Of us would." He agreed. "However, aren’t our opponents dark mages? Who is to say that your informant isn’t helping them?""Mallard is a trustworthy man." Craig countered. "You don’t have to worry about him being a traitor.""Maybe you trust him.

    [Leah’s POV]"You’re Asher." I insisted. There was no way that I could mistake the sensations I was feeling from where we touched."Who?" The man asked in confusion."Leah," Ian murmured, giving my body a slight tug. "That isn’t Asher."Frowning, I continued to take in the man. The eyes that met mine were the exact same color as his, as were the facial features that surrounded them. I mean, sure, there weren’t any burn scars and no mask, but this could be how Asher looked before the accident."I’m sorry," the man said gently, grabbing my hand and beginning to pry it off. "I’m not the person you’re searching for.""R-right."Stepping back, I felt my pain shoot through my heart. He wasn’t him; he wasn’t. My Asher was gone. He lost his battle to the darkness, and it was all my fault."Come on, Leah." Ian whispered as I continued to stare."Yeah."Despite wanting to stay with the man that reminded me so much of my mate, I allowed Ian to begin to lead me away. Maybe after some rest, my hea

    [Leah’s POV]I held my breath as Craig led us into a dark hallway with a long stairwell leading down beneath the earth. Once we reached the bottom, the sound of laughter drifted towards us, filling the deafening silence that was becoming unbearable."In here." Craig announced, beginning to knock an odd beat against the door. "They’ve been waiting."Nodding, I watched as a tiny peep hole was opened and a single golden eye peered out at us."Craig?" A low voice growled. "I thought you were dead!""Not so lucky." Craig responded, letting out a laugh. "I’ve brought the help as promised.""Mmm." For a moment, whoever was behind the door seemed to say something to someone beyond."Could you let us in?" Craig asked, taking a step back and crossing his arms."Yeah, yeah." The person behind the door grumbled.A huff escaped Craig as the peep hole slammed shut and the sound of locks being undone filled the space around us. "You sure we are welcome?" Antoine asked as the door ahead of us opened

    [Leah’s POV]I remained quiet as Antoine and Ashton seemed to go straight into battle mode. How were they both so okay with doing something that could alter everything? Sure, even if things were changed, the mates we were given by the moon goddess wouldn’t, but how would we know to look for them if we remembered nothing?"Leah?" Ashton called, drawing my attention to him.‘Hm?’"I know you’re worried." He began, seeming to immediately pinpoint my issue. "But you heard Ian." He continued. "Everyone is dead and we’re next if we don’t do this."‘R-right.’I knew he was right and I knew that this was what needed to be done, but I still couldn’t stop the pain I felt at the thought of not remembering Asher or Arabia.Arabia… As her perfect face flashed in my mind, I felt a knot begin to build up in my throat and tears prick at my eyes. My precious girl was gone. As was everyone else that I cared for. Something about it didn’t seem real."Would you rather stay here?" Antoine suggested "You d
