[Asher’s POV]

I kept my gaze firmly fixed on Leah as she studied me carefully. What in the world was she thinking behind those guarded eyes?

"I’ll find her something of Tatiana’s." Ian responded, drawing my attention back to him. "For the time being, she can clean your wounds. They’re starting to heal and if any debris is left, we will have to reopen the skin. "

"Got it." Leah responded, stepping forward and reaching into the bin.

Satisfied that she could handle things from here, Ian headed out of the room, so it was now just the two of us.

Leah’s hand that gently cleaned my wounds shook ever so slightly. It was easy to tell that she was nervous about being so close to me, especially after how harsh I had been with her recently.

"Why did those tengus attack you?" She asked, taking me by surprise. "And don’t say it isn’t any of my business."

I fought back the amused smirk that wanted to form on my lips at her defiance and kept my expression neutral.

"They owed a friend money."

    [Asher’s POV]I could feel Leah’s perfect body shivering below mine as I pressed my mouth against hers again and tugged at her shirt. Now that I had let myself give in to desire, there was no going back."W-wait…" Leah gasped as I began to pull her shirt up above her bare breasts. "We can’t...""We can." I countered, taking a nipple into my mouth.A delicious moan escaped Leah’s lips as I gently nipped and licked at her quickly growing nipple. However, before I could move onto the next step, liquid was released into my mouth.Propping myself up on my hands, I stared down at Leah’s bright red face. What the hell was…Oh..."Was that breastmilk?" I asked, lifting a brow. "That was an odd... flavor.""Stop!" Leah groaned, covering her face with her hands. "Please.""Don’t hide your face from me." I warned.I didn’t quite understand it, but I suddenly felt so much lighter. It was like before I was cursed for performing dark magic. Was this a result of being near my mate for an extended tim

    [Asher’s POV]I sat on the porch watching the street for Thia’s car. Despite telling myself everything would be okay, I was nervous. I was nervous about facing Thia after hurting her sister and about facing my daughter properly for the first time. It all left me a bundle of nerves, and when Thia finally pulled up with Haidan in tow, I was damn near ready to bolt right then and there."Asher?" Haidan called, popping her head out of the window. "How are you feeling?""I’m fine." I assured as I kept my eyes on Thia.With each step she took towards the backseat of her car, I felt my heart rate increase. This was it. I was actually going to be able to hold my daughter for the first time. I was both excited and terrified."Thia, why don’t you let Asher get Arabia out?" Haidan suggested, instantly catching onto my train of thought."Sure." Thia responded, though she didn’t sound happy about it.Nodding, I got up from the step I sat on and made my way across the yard. All the while, Thia’s n

    [Leah’s POV]I watched as Asher made his way back down the stairs and out of the house. Something about the tension and frustration that radiated off of him left me uneasy, but since I didn’t know exactly what was going on with him, there was nothing I could do to help.As I continued to stand there, Thia appeared and peaked up at me. Her eyes that took me in were filled with questioning and concern as she made her way towards me."Did you two fight again?" She asked once she reached me. "Leah, what exactly is going on here?""Follow me." I sighed, deciding maybe it would be a good idea to talk to someone about the worry that was slowly beginning to eat away at my soul. "I need to feed Arabia. We can talk while I do that. ""Alright." Thia murmured, beginning to follow me towards my room.Once inside, I plopped on my bed and got comfortable so that I could begin to nurse. Only after Arabia was latched and happily eating did I look to Thia, who remained in the doorway."Could you come

    [Leah’s POV]The night passed at snail speed as my mind came up with scenario after scenario of where Asher was and what he could possibly be doing. Though he had promised me that he would return once he finished with what he had to do, I still couldn’t shake the bad feeling that was slowly taking over.When the sun finally rose the next morning, I couldn’t sit around and wait any longer. I threw on a sweatshirt and leggings, made my way outside, and began to extend my senses. I began to focus on the familiar essence that was Asher. Maybe I was being a bit too extreme, but I couldn’t stop the feeling that he needed me. Something was off, that was certain, and I just couldn’t leave well enough alone."Leah?"His deep voice that always melted my heart like butter drifted through the air as his essence suddenly appeared all around me. Snapping my eyes open, I turned and watched as he slowly limped his way towards me."What happened to you?" I gasped, taking in the torn shirt that hung f

    [Asher’s POV]"Let me set up the bassinet and put Arabia down." I murmured, nipping at Leah’s neck.A gasp of both desire and shock escaped her, causing my dick to throb in anticipation. Dammit, if it weren’t for Arabia, I would jump her right here and now. When it came to her, I just couldn’t control myself."Are you sure?" Leah asked, giving me a look of uncertainty. "I can do it.""Please allow me." I hadn’t had the opportunity to be a proper father to Arabia yet, and I intended to make up for lost time. "You go ahead and get in the shower. I’ll join you shortly. "Nodding, Leah unstrapped Arabia from her chest and handed her over to me. Only after giving us one last look did she finally turn and disappear into the bathroom beyond.Once I was sure that we were alone, I turned my gaze to Arabia’s and took her in once more. No matter how many times I saw her, I still couldn’t quite believe that the moon goddess had blessed a sinner like me with such a gift."Thank you for keeping you

    [Asher’s POV]Pained faces surrounded me, letting out cries of despair as their boney fingers clawed at my skin and clothes. Despite my attempts to back away, I found myself stuck entirely, unable to move, only able to endure what was happening to me."Help us.""Do something!""It hurts!"Their cries continued to echo, becoming damn near deafening."Asher…"What was that? That voice wasn’t like the others. It was so gentle and something about it calmed my heart."Hey, Asher..."Gasping, my eyes flew open as I sat up in bed and stared at a bare wall that was barely illuminated by a dim light. Just a dream... Another fucking dream of the damned. The same dream that haunted me ever since the darkness began to claw at me and try to escape.I let out a long breath and slowly sat up, letting the cover that was beginning to wrap around me fall to my waist."Hey," Leah’s soft voice murmured as a warm hand touched my chest. "Are you okay? Your heart's beating a mile a minute. ""Mmm."Was I o

"What do you think you’ll be able to do?""I don’t know, but I can’t just sit back and do nothing!"As I spoke, I slipped on my shoes and grabbed my car keys. The place in my chest that had been burning moments prior was still radiating pain throughout my entire body, and I knew that Asher was suffering. There wasn't even time to think about what I was going to do. If I had to, I was going to burn every single one of those bastards to the ground!"Keep an eye on Arabia!" I repeated, rushing out the door.‘Ian,’ I called as I jumped into my car. ‘I need you and Deon to help me!’Before I could even get the keys in the ignition, the kitsune brothers appeared with looks of curiosity and concern on their faces."What’s going on?" Deon asked from his place in the backseat."Asher’s in trouble!" I responded, slamming on the gas and

I had to admit, this Kelvin character was really starting to get on my last nerve. All this warning me to stay away from Asher. What exactly was the relationship between them?"I need answers." I sighed, making my way to the car and hopping in.By the time I reached the kitsune siblings' house, Thia’s car and even Haidan’s were out front, and I could feel strong magic pressing against my skin. What the hell was going on in there that required so much?As this thought hits, my heart lurches, and I quickly make my way inside and up the stairs towards where I can hear all the commotion."Leah?" Thia gasped as I reached the room where Asher was in. "Stay back.""Why?" I demanded. However, Thia didn’t need to respond as a low, agonized growl escaped the room. "What’s wrong with him?"I didn’t need to ask who was making the noise. I would recognize

    [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

    [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
