Eliot POV. I wanted to show Ashlynn the whole world, I wanted to show her the city where I grew up, mostly bad memories here and there, in that alley I got kicked and beaten for the first time ever. That other shop, it's one that I stole an apple from when I was really hungry, this whole city has stood witness to me being broke and homeless, but there's also the other side of me falling in love with Aspen, the place where we shared our tenth kiss, our first kiss was in private. "You kids!" a woman yelled at us after we scared the pigeons yet again, but what else do you expect from two littles? It's what I used to do before I found Aspen too, I know I show off as a bad mafia guy, I was a gangster since I was thirteen I think, but I was always a little, and this side of me demanded to come out and have fun, I can't keep on denying it. "Run," I tell Ashlynn never letting go of her hand, no matter how fun this is, I can't let her go, there are some bad people around these streets, I w
Eliot POV. "What do you two want to eat?" Aspen asks us, he's been cuddling Ashlynn for about an hour now, not that I'm jealous, I'm free to join the cuddle party anytime. But instead, I'm standing back, looking at the rest of the club, they are getting ready for the night. "When can we have a little night?" I ask the idea got me interested back when Ashlynn mentioned it. "Not today," was his cold answer, not fair. "Not fair," I answer him. "Lunch?" he asks me, suddenly, I wasn't hungry anymore. "Not hungry," I say going to take a seat away from the two of them. "I want pasta," Ashlynn demands, he ordered all of us food, and he got one of the dishes that I like, but that doesn't mean I'm going to eat, I wasn't in the mood for food. "We got the coffee boss," the guy who we sent on the loose chase to get the coffee came back in. "My Columbian coffee?" Ashlynn asks taking the coffee from the guy, she took one sip of it, then spit it up, "Yuk, this is the worse coffee I ever had
Aspen POV. "You two ready yet?" I ask my two mates, they were getting ready for the club, or at least Ashlynn was, she's a girl and girls take forever getting all dolled up, not that she needs that, she's beautiful as she is, she was always beautiful, she doesn't need any makeup or fancy clothes. "I'm ready but I think Eliot is broken," Ashlynn answers me, I looked at Eliot who was standing near the doorway of our room, his mouth hanging open with shock? "Are you okay Eliot?" I ask him, maybe Ashlynn was right, he is broken, how to fix my broken little boy? "Huh, yeah I'm fine," he says finally coming back to the land of the living, he took off to get ready, and now I could look at Ashlynn, she looked beautiful, not just beautiful, she was stunning. "What do you think?" she asks me, doing a full twirl in front of me, it was my turn now to stand with my mouth hanging open. "You look, wow!" I say lost for better words. "Oh thank you!" she says doing another twirl. "Baby, isn't t
Ashlynn POV. I was dancing with my mate, he had his hands around my waist as we danced in the club, I never knew dancing with your mate could be so much fun, it's even more fun than dancing with your sister/bestie Kiara. He kept everyone away, he kissed my lips while we danced, he moved his body and mine in synchronization, I was having the best time of my life. "Stay where Eli can see you," that was my daddy's order, I had no idea where Eli was, I was busy looking around for him, he must be sitting somewhere at the top to be able to see me.But that's when a blond creature approached me, although, Eli is blond, it isn't Eli, this person was different. I stood frozen when I saw her, how did she manage to get here? Did she follow me or something, should I shift to my wolf form and try to kill her, no I should kill her, I started to growl at her. "I love it when you growl," she says getting closer to me, now that we are face to face. "How did you find me?" I say still growling. "
Ashlynn POV. "Who's that?" Eli asks me, checking that I wasn't injured, caressing my face, fussing over me. "Someone I used to know," I lie, not wanting to go into details of how I know her. "Did she hurt you? What did she want? How did she find you?" Eli asks again, this time he was walking me back into the club, but our fun night was ruined, we went to Aspen's office right away. Aspen, Marco, and a few other guys were in there, Aspen looked furious, yelling at them in a loud voice, saying some curse words that would make any sailor proud. "Sir, Ashlynn is here," Eli says staying away from him, but trying to get him to stop cursing them and their whole bloodline. "Princess! For fuck's sake! Why did you leave with her! Who is she! I want to get any and all information about her now!" He yells again, the guys ran out of the office using his command as an excuse to get away from him and his anger. "Her name is Amber..." I say not sure if I want to share the rest of the story but
Eli POV. I knew exactly how Ashlynn felt, I was lied to also, and it's not a nice feeling, to have your own mate hiding things from you, and for what? I'm not going to say I'm ashamed of my work, I love my work, I did it, I knew what I was doing the whole time, but now that she's here with us, I want to come clean to her, to confess my job and make sure she's okay with that. "She's really mad at you," I tell Aspen, who just nods his head, I love him, I really do, and have been in love with him for years now. But Ashlynn is what completes us, she's our missing link and without her, we don't feel complete. "Do you think if I told her right away she wouldn't be mad? She would've just joined us here?" He asks me, although he made a point, I wasn't sure. "For wolves, it's different when I saw Ashlynn, I knew right away she's mine," I say but that kind of got him sad, he looked at me with sad eyes now. "So you forgot about me? If it's Ashlynn what you need Eli, I won't stand in the w
Aspen POV. "Boss, you need to calm down, you're scaring her," Marco tries to tell me, he just drove my baby girl home, and I'm the one who got to sit here and worry about scaring her too much, pushing her too far, about making things much worse than they were. "She was attacked in my club, on my ground, this is the worse thing has ever gotten to, they are on my land, in my club!" I snarl at him, I felt the need to hit, scream, and throw a tantrum, but I'm too old for tantrums and I'm not the little one around here. "I know boss, we would never allow anything like this to happen again," he promises me, but it's too late, she was hurt and angry at me. "She knows what our real work is now," I say with a sigh, I don't know which got me angrier, her being attacked, or her finding out what my real job is. "She was close to finding out, she's living in the same house as us, she's a dominant wolf, she would have just asked Eliot and he'd tell her," Marco says, although he had a point, I
Eli POV. "And why are you here?" the first guy asks me, I looked at him, trying my best not to growl, or glare at him, I need them and not the other way around. "I'm here to see her," I say yet again, we've been going over this for over an hour now, I've made it to her pack, but I didn't have any access to get in yet. After I ended the call with daddy Aspen, I got on the plane as fast as possible, if he got here before he was going to tan my bum, and knowing that if I wait for him, he'd find out that Ashlynn isn't here with me, and if he finds that out, he was going to beat my bum a second time for that, I should have stayed with her or maybe just call him right away, now that I'm here not daring to use his name to gain any privilege to get in the pack, I thought using my mate's name would be enough but it clearly wasn't. "I'm here to see her," I repeat to the guy, who I still don't know his name, why did he do this, why can't they just call her siblings they know who I'm, they kn
