Asher’s pov

"Okay, don’t get mad." Leia started.

"That’s not a good way to start a conversation, princess." I replied, grabbing her by her waist.

Leia squealed and swatted my hand away. We had gotten a lot closer over the years. I didn’t know if I had earned her forgiveness, but she had given it to me anyway. She had given me everything. Leia and I were a team again, and I knew it was thanks to her. She had enough reasons to reject me back then, yet she stuck with me.

"Okay, so I was thinking and I sort of forgot this. I mean, it’s been five fucking years, and you can’t expect me to memorize everything. You know, I did have a lot going on at the time. It was just after the boys' first birthday party, and, -"

"Just tell me; you know I don’t get mad that easily anymore."

Leia scoffed, "Excuse me? You, Asher? Asher, the Iron Alpha. Last time we had a fucking lead, you wanted to kill the guy."

Maggie and Rain had found a known associate of Alpha Braxton, and I had flown out and listened in

Skipping ahead a few years. I'll tell you more what has happened during those years in the next few chapters. I went to the hairdresser yesterday and as usual i got talk into a haircut I didn't want and I wish I could say no more easily. ugh, now I have curtain bangs, which I didn't want. I wanted a long bob and the hairdresser said it would look better round. i didn't realize what she meant by round, but turns out she meants that it would be round around my face. and now the bangs i had grown out for so long are just below my ears again. i know it's not important, it's just hair. but ugh. it sucks.

I'm glad that Sara and Bruce are giving them information. Also, I know how you feel about it being hard to say no and ending up with a haircut you don't like. it took a while for me to find one I like who knows my likes and dislikes enough that I can let her do what she wants lol

    Leia’s povIt took a fucking year for me to truly forgive Asher. There was therapy and a lot of angry fucking sex. Honestly, if Asher and I have sex, I feel closer to him, and if we don’t, I feel a lot of fucking distance. Maybe it’s a hormone thing or something; Reina tried to explain it, but I zoned out after she started using words like "oxycontin" and "neurotransmitters." Maybe she should be Kat’s fucking wolf; they’d get along fine.But we’re good now. I mean, things could be fucking better, but we have our boys and we have each other. The only thing we need now is to find our girls and kill those fuckers who took them."Mom, do we have to stay with Grandpa Os? Can’t we go to Grandpa Cy?" Argo asked.Airk shook his head, "Grandpa Os is fun too. And grandma Lily said she would paint with me.""But grandpa Cy said he would let me ride the horses. And he’s funny." Argo replied."We can always split you up," I suggested, but both boys shook their heads."No, mom." Both said it simulta

    Maggie’s povIt wasn’t easy living this double life. I didn’t have many real friends, and I had to pretend to be someone I wasn’t. But it was fun. I was living a life like a damn spy. I was a housewife and a mom, but at the same time I was tracking and searching for Aeryn and Elora.I made friends in high places, and I was talking to the right parents when I picked up my kids.No, I didn’t have kids to use in our mission, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t use these opportunities. We started as members of a small neutral pack, and as Rain’s business grew, we moved to another pack. That’s when I became pregnant with our first. A girl called Aura Ariel Meadow, after my mom and Rain’s mom. She was almost four now and had just started school. My youngest just turned two; he is named Bodhi Troy Chris, because we couldn’t leave our dads out.I call Rishi and Zuri almost daily and facetime them instantly, but I have people here I hang out with. It’s not real, though. They can never know the real

    Rain’s povI hope this is the beginning of the end. I love how well the business is doing, and I am surprised at how much I love being a boss, since I am not one at home. I would rather follow Maggie’s lead."Because it turns you on," my wolf Ewan joked.Even after all these years, she did manage to turn me on. Especially when she told me what to do in the bedroom. But it wasn’t just that; it was nice not to have to think about certain things and to let Maggie handle them. Like this plan. She knew what needed to be done, and all I had to do was follow her plan. It made me less nervous knowing she was in charge.I drove Alpha Braxton to the location that Maggie had told me to go, a warehouse that we sometimes used close to the border. That’s the only thing I had to do: get him there, and Alpha Asher and Luna Leia would do the rest.One down and one to go. Or maybe two to go, because I had scored a meeting with the Shadow Mountain pack, the pack Marco originally belonged to. If we could

    Asher’s pov"You?!" Alpha Braxton roared, and before he could say more, I had used the spray on him. I would much rather just start beating him up, but we had to get him out of here, or his death could be tied to Maggie and Rain.Maggie would tell his Luna that Alpha Braxton had to leave urgently. That Rain offered his car for Alpha Braxton to use. We were actually the ones who would use the car, and we would leave it in a ditch somewhere on the road to Alpha Braxton’s pack. Then we’d get in another car and get Alpha Braxton back home.That’s why Leia had come. I had to be so damn patient and wait for my chance to kill this bastard. Carrying him from the warehouse to the car, then from that car to another, seeing his face, so ready to be beaten, and being unable to touch him. It was driving me crazy.The only thing that calmed me down was Leia, who, ironically, was the only one who actually kicked Alpha Braxton in the face while he was knocked out on the floor."What?" she had said. "Y

    Maggie’s povWe were halfway there when Tallulah was contacted. She wasn’t contacted through mindlink, which would have been the obvious option, but by phone."No, he hasn’t made contact with me. Let me try." She said, sounding nervous."No, I can’t reach Alpha Braxton."The person on the other end was talking, and I could see Tallulah was starting to get more nervous by the second."He said he needed to go, and he borrowed Rain’s car. I am currently being driven back home."…"No." she said, sounding scared. "I don’t know anything, sir. I haven’t felt anything either."…"Okay, I will let you know if anything changes." Tallulah finally said and she hung up.She turned to me and looked pale as a ghost. "Something happened with Alpha Braxton on the way back. They can’t reach him. A search party will be sent, but is it possible for you to drive faster?""No problem," I said, hitting the gas.She looked out the window and said, "I need to get my girls out, just in case.""Your girls?"

    Tallulah’s pov"We need to go now." I whispered as I got all my kids out of their beds. My oldest helped me get the younger one ready. Braxton Junior, or as I call him, "Brax," looked at me with concern. He used to be so sweet, but lately he has become more distant. I think it’s because of Dolores' training. Ever since he turned ten, he has been separated from the rest as part of his training to become the next Alpha.Dolores…. I can’t believe I actually killed her. But I had to save my babies. She only cared about money, and she never showed any interest in the girls. I knew that all the girls were good for, in the eyes of Alpha Braxton, and Dolores was marrying an ally or prospective ally. I hoped they would find their true mate before that; not even their father could go against that.But now he was dead, and Dolores was too, and I wasn’t done protecting my kids. I needed to get them out, because if the pack found out what I did, I would surely be killed, and my children would be ra

    Leia’s pov"Ash?" I asked when we sat down for breakfast.Asher had spent an hour with Alpha Braxton, doing goddess knows what to him, and after that, he wanted to clean the whole fucking mess himself. I didn’t know if he was embarrassed by what others would find or if he just needed a moment to calm down.But after he showered, he pretended nothing happened to our sons. I fucking loved that he was such a good dad to them, but I felt his struggle within. Killing someone wasn’t easy, even if it was an evil fucking bastard."Yes, princess?" Asher replied, earning an eye roll from Argo."Princes? Still?""It's my name," I laughed. "Princess Leia, remember when I showed you Star Wars?"Argo wasn’t a fan, but Airk was, and thank the fucking goddess, because I needed at least one kid to be a geek like my dad and me."Aren’t you a bit too old to be a princess?" Argo said and if looks could kill, he would be dead by now. How dare he call me old."Your mother will always be my princess; now run

    Maggie’s povIt’s been a few weeks since Tallulah arrived at the Iron River pack, and although she isn’t so scared anymore, she is still not willing to share much. It’s hard, though, because we still have no actual confirmation that Aeryn and Elora are there. So it’s just guesswork at this point until we can find Marco.Hopefully today’s meeting will help with that, because we’ve finally been able to schedule a meeting with the alpha of the Shadow Mountain pack, who claims to want to build a factory near or in their pack.I am coming with Rain to do my spy shit."Spy shit?" Alice said, laughing."You know, lying and stealing. No one expects a little red-headed woman." I joked.I was actually a little nervous. I would have to improvise because we didn’t know much about this pack, besides that Marco grew up here. We couldn't just ask them about Marco because that would be inappropriate during a business meeting, but maybe I could find something out by talking to the Luna.I left the kids

    Aaro’s povI shouldn’t have said that, but it was the fucking truth. No matter how much this wasn’t Storm’s choice any more than it was mine, he was still going to mark me against my will. Maybe if things were different, then I would have chosen Storm as my mate.I always hoped I would find my true mate, but that ship had fucking sailed the moment I was bought. Maybe even before then—maybe the moment I was brought to the damn school. It didn’t fucking matter anyway.I saw how my remark hurt Storm, and all I could think of to make this better was to ask him to kiss me. I knew it fucking made me feel better. More than better. The orgasm he gave me was out of this fucking world, and I just wanted to make him feel good too.I didn’t know what the fuck I was doing, but he seemed to enjoy it, and to be honest, I was enjoying it too. I didn’t think having someone’s dick inside my mouth would be fun, but hearing Storm grunt and hold on to my hair and knowing I was the one doing it to him was a

    Storm’s povI knew if I got pissed off, Aaro would stop telling me the truth, so I let her talk while inside of me a storm was raging. I wanted to go to the school and kill everyone who ever hurt Aaro. I wanted to destroy the entire school and get everyone out, but I knew I couldn’t. I was a fucking hypocrite. My father had bought Aaro for me and had funded the school for years. I didn’t realize where part of our money was going until I checked the books today. Our pack had been giving money to the Goldacres for decades. How could I say I would destroy the school if I still profited from it? If it wasn’t for the school, I wouldn’t have met Aaro.I wanted to be Aaro’s home, her safe place. She deserved that. Despite the fucked up situation she was thrown into, she was trying to do things her own way. She could have ignored my mother like the rest, but instead she decided to learn Dutch. The thing that bonded me and mam together. If Aaro was smart, she would have sucked up to Dad and R

    Aaro’s povEve explained the phone to me, but I still felt like a fucking idiot using it. She was so patient with me, but I knew if others saw me fumbling with the phone, they’d think I was raised under a damn rock. Everyone used technology for everything, and I felt like I didn’t belong in this world.To be honest, I don’t belong here. I belong with my sister; I belong back home.But a part of me wished I did belong here. That I could give Storm what he deserved. He wanted a real person who didn’t have that many secrets, someone who could be themselves around him, and I wasn’t that at fucking all. I had to think before I spoke, because otherwise I could reveal the truth."I really am sorry, Aaro." Eve said again.I shook my head, "don’t be. I’ll be fine."Eve sighed, "it can be really hard sometimes, Aaro. I try to put on a brave face for Storm. I don’t want him to feel bad for me, but it’s really lonely for me. I miss my family and just having a life. Don’t get me wrong; if I had to

    Storm’s pov"Aaro is bijna klaar; douchen liep een beetje uit. [Aaro is almost done; the shower took a bit longer than expected.]Mam laughed, "Ik zie dat jij ook ging douchen? [I see you took a shower as well?] She ruffled my wet hair."Dus? [so?]""Niks. Ik ben blij voor je. Ze is speciaal vind je niet? Ik durf het bijna niet te zeggen, maar misschien is zij je, - [Nothing. I am happy for you. She’s special, isn’t she? I am almost too scared to say, but maybe she’s your, -] " I stopped my mom from finishing her sentence."Mam zeg het niet dan! Fuck, je weet zelf wat pap zou doen. [Then don’t say it! Fuck, you know what Dad would do.]"My mother knew better than anyone what my dad thought of true mates, considering she was his. Dad and mom fell in love when they were seventeen. Love at first sight, she called it, and then my grandfather got killed and my dad turned into a paranoid asshole. Too scared of what a true mate meant. He wasn't just scared of losing half his soul if his true

    Aaro’s povFucking phone. That stupid fucking phone. Phones didn’t used to be like this, were they? I remember mom and dad having a phone, and I sometimes watched videos on it or played a game. But this thing was totally different.I felt so fucking out of place. I knew nothing about this world. I guess that the school does this on purpose. Make sure to isolate the girls once they’re out of the school. Make sure we don’t know how to use technology to ask for help.We’re not supposed to tell anyone about the school, but even if we only wanted to help ourselves once we were out, we wouldn’t be able to. We had no one to turn to and no way to set up any support system. Maybe I should talk to Eve. She had been isolated, stuck inside this packhouse. She knows how it feels, and maybe she knows how to get out of here.I opened the stupid phone again, cursing at it."You better not fuck this up again. Send text to Eve.""Send text to Eve," the phone said."Do you want to join me and Storm for l

    Storm’s povI put Aaro on my lap and let her eat."So what’s her deal?" Cara asked, mind-linking me."What do you mean?""She seems nice, but is she like the rest? Does she want you because of your title?"I laughed, "no, she isn’t like the rest. Not at fucking all. I don’t think she cares about becoming Luna at all.""Did she have any say in coming here? Did her parents force her?"I sighed, "she’s an orphan. It’s fucking complicated Cara, but she doesn’t really have a choice. So I’m trying my fucking best to make everything not suck as fucking much."Cara smiled at me, "you want her to like you."Aaro started giving me bites to eat, and although it surprised me, I let her. It was fucking adorable that she cared enough to feed me."She likes you already. She was straddling you, and now she’s feeding you!" Cara shouted inside my head.That kiss was amazing. And when Aaro started moving her fucking hips, I went insane. If Cara hadn’t stopped us, I don’t know what would have happened. Wh

    Aaro’s povBrand was cool. He reminded me of my dad’s wolf, Logan. He was as fast as him, too. How would it feel to run as a wolf? Would I be that fast?It was easier around Brand because he didn’t talk to me and I didn’t have to pretend so hard.Even when I was myself, I still had to pretend. I couldn’t let anyone know my real name or identity. It wasn’t easy. I so badly wanted to tell Brand about Logan. I wanted to tell the girl in the orphanage more about Ero. And when we discussed our names, I really wanted to tell Peter what Aaro fucking stood for.It bothered me how scared everyone was. It was supposed to be like this. In my dad’s pack, people weren’t scared of us. And although my grandpa Os could be a bit scary, people respected him more than they feared him.Then he shifted back, and although Storm looked a lot better, like a whole fuckload better, I went back to pretending. Pretending that he didn’t look fucking good, and I wondered what it would feel like to touch him. Preten

    Storm’s povI tried to get some work done, but my mind kept wondering about tonight. What would be a good date idea?"Let me meet her," Brand said."And then what, have a picknick? It’s fucking freezing outside.""Please?" Brand asked and I think it was the first time he said please to me."I’ll see what I can do, okay, buddy?"Dad had given me her tracker information, and I felt like a fucking stalker, tracking Aaro’s moves. She went from the hospital to the orphanages, to lunch somewhere, and then to one of the elders' houses.When it was around four, I just gave up on working and decided to pick up Aaro early. I'm sure she'd appreciate it; I couldn't imagine spending the entire day with Ruby.I went to the O'Hares' home and watched as Aaro spoke to a young boy. He must be one of the grandkids or great-grandkids of the O'Hares. Mister O'Hare was 104 years old and looked no older than 70.When the boy saw me, he bowed his head and seemed scared. It was such an obvious contrast between

    Aaro’s povStupid fucking nightmare. I used to have them when we were younger. I would dream about Marco taking us away. We were asleep when he took us, but we woke up before he brought us to the man who transported us to the school.Doctor Marco had always been so kind to us, but suddenly he was cold. He ignored our cries, he ignored me begging him to let my sister go. In the end, he threatened to hurt Elora if I didn’t help him calm her down.He showed me bones and said they belonged to a girl, and if I didn't help my sister out of her pajamas and make her shut the fuck up, he could turn my sister into a bag of bones too.For years, I wondered what he needed the bones and the pajamas for. I thought he might have pretended it was one of us who died, so my parents wouldn’t come looking for us. Or my parents were dead themselves; there must have been a reason why they didn't find us. Auntie Kat was too smart to not see through Marco’s plan, I was sure. She was the smartest person alive;
