Ashlynn POV. I ended the call with my brother, I kept on assuring him I'm safe, but he kept on asking me where I'm, why didn't I say anything? Where am I again? I assured him I'm safe but didn't specify any more of the situation, how do I explain to my brother that I was kidnapped and is now on a private island somewhere in the pacific ocean.I groaned, why did I even call him, I got my bum chewed by him for disappearing and threatened by a spanking once I get back home as if Eli would him to spank me, or baby Eliot, I hoped not though. Now that the call was over, I tried to check who Eli was talking to, I know it was a breach of his trust, but I wanted to see for myself, I don't know what got into me, but thankfully the phone didn't work like the ones I'm used to, it was a sign from the god to let it go. "Eli," I say going back to look for him, I should just ask him, no need for my bitchy self to come out right? I went on the search for him, he was in the kitchen, sitting in the s
Eli POV. Things are messed up here, really messed up, where do I even start, I was lost, I'm lost in this world, I had no one, I had nothing to me, my whole life is a series of misfortunate events, and now my mate, my own mate is mad at me, how do I tell her I'm no danger to her or anyone else, but me. I looked at my mate my beautiful mate, I saw the fear in her eyes, I wanted to wipe that look away, to assure her no danger would ever touch her with me around. But Ashlynn doesn't believe that she took a step back away from me, she's hiding from me, it broke my heart seeing her afraid of me, I took a step toward her, but she took one back, for each step I took she took one back, until I got down on my stomach, keeping my head down, I wanted to scream, look I'm safe. This was the exact reason why I didn't want to show her what I really am, what my wolf is like, I was hunted, and almost killed a couple of times, until I decided to live a life of humans, I stopped showing my wolf form,
Eli POV. "Please, Ashlynn, please talk to me," I begged her, I shouldn't have drunk the alcohol, Ashlynn was right, we only like the taste of it, but for me, it meant a bit more, for me, it did affect me a bit more than all wolves. Like I told Ashlynn, I was raised by humans, but that doesn't mean I lived a happy life with those humans, they were years of hell that I lived through with them, the abuse, the drinking, the alcohol. "You're rogue," she says, she has shifted back after I finished my story, she was in her wolf form the whole time, ready to protect herself, I even told her about what Micah said, the chance to get back to her brother's and his mate pack, to live with them if she agrees. "I'm not one by choice, I promise you, I promise you, princess, I'm the same wolf you've been playing on the sand with," I promise her. "I...I..." she says and takes off running away from me, why did she run, did she have to run, I was down on my knees, trying to ignore my instincts of ru
Aspen POV. "We need to do this Marco," I tell my right hand and best friend, my number one guy, we need to do this now. "Boss, do we have to?" Marco asks sounding like a child, he could be one sometimes. "Yes, we do, let's go," I order him again, there's a war going on, but there's always a war here and there, our jobs are dirty, filled with danger, but what can I say, I'm an adrenaline junky. "Fine boss, but you owe me one," Marco says, I simply rolled my eyes at him, sure I always owe him one, every time I drag him to any kind of job that he doesn't enjoy, but what kind of job does he enjoy except the one with pretty asses or pussies in them. "Let's go, stop whining," I scold him, I'm working with children here. I got my guns ready, checking them all before we leave, you never want to use your gun only to find it not working, or even worse to find it's not loaded, that's a tricky situation there, one that's near impossible to get out of, the only way out is death. I killed peo
Aspen POV. I haven't mentioned what I look like, what does a mafia boss looks like, most of us are dark? Dark aura? I do have the dark aura, all killers have it, whether we kill good people or bad people, the aura stays with us, it doesn't leave our bodies, it stays with us forever, until we grow old and die on our own. I don't have the dark looks though, I have my mother's look, the innocent looks, although I'm anything but innocent, I have her ginger hair, although I keep mine short, I have her green eyes, thank god I didn't take her freckles, I don't think those would suit me at all. I waited and waited, until finally the stupid boss, the one who think he was the boss of the bosses, but he's not, he got the dark looks, and a dark soul to match it, but I can't allow him to take over my territory or do what he thinks he can do. "Aspen, what brought you over my place?" he asks me, sitting on the seat next to mine, I looked him up and down, beside me sit a killer, a dark soul, a tr
Aspen POV. "Do you really need to get the brat back?" Marco asks, he's not a big fan of my little thing, who could be a brat most days, especially to Marco. "I know you miss them just as much as me," I answer Marco, although both people in question are wolves, one of them doesn't know about the others, my plus one is more on the naive side, never having a pack before, never meeting ones, unable to recognize them either. My plus one thinks it's just them, and I allow him to do so, I prefer him to stay on the naive side, too worried he'd fight with others, the other rogues are older, much older, they have more experience in life, and pack lives one that they never got before. It's better that way, although Marco suggested teaching them, but how could a rogue by choice, teach a little to obey them and the pack life when they can't experience the said life. "It's only because that brat keeps you company," Marco growls, from my understanding of Marco and the other rogues, wolves need a
Ashlynn POV. "Who's that?" I ask my mate seeing a boat getting close and him sitting up, he looked worried now, the look of guilt is back on his face, there's something coming, and that something isn't good. "That's...that's...someone I work with," he says, but the words were lies, I could tell right away, I'm not stupid. "Eli, who's that? Don't lie to me," I say in a firm voice, I'm done playing the victim, I refuse to be the victim ever again, one time was more than enough, and I won't do it again. "Ashlynn, I just can't tell you but I need you to trust me," he begs me but how could I trust him? when he's lying to me, keeping things hidden. "You need to trust me too Eli, that includes telling me the truth," I demand, the boat was closer to the island than ever, someone was coming down from the boat, and that someone is scarung my mate, my mate! "I'm staying here, I'll keep you safe," I say in a firm voice, I'm not leaving. "I'll be safe, it's just a human, you don't need to b
Ashlynn POV. "Mine," we both say at the same time, mine, but how could he be mine? He's human, and I got my own mate, my traitor mate, but mine none of the less. "Wait, what? how?" Eli asked behind me, I was so mad at him, I didn't want to hear his voice, not a sound, I turned to him with a glare. "Why didn't you tell me?" I ask him, why didn't he tell me he got a daddy? "You said you hate humans," Eli answers me, well I do but this human, he's different, this human is mine, this human I want to keep forever. "I do, but not...not him," I say confusing myself now, how is he mine? While Eliot is mine too, I don't understand how's that happening, I'm giving myself a headache. "Hate human?" the stranger asks raising a brow at me, making me blush, why am I feeling like this. "Well, not you," I say again with a blush, whole Eli gets closer to us, he was staying away from me, and now he's standing right next to me. "Does that means I'm forgiven?" Eli asks, making a duck face next to
