2024-10-29 19:42:56The jet ran down the runway, gaining speed and getting ready to take off. Mia Held on to her seat with a tight grip. It was her first time on a plane. Werewolves preferred to keep their feet closer to the ground. And who could blame them? Something about the small tube shaped tin floating in the air thousands of feet above the ground made her wolf agitated. She wouldn’t want to imagine what would happen if she lost control of her wolf for even a second in the tight sealed space they sat in.
Mia took a deep breath and tried not to think about it. She had to remind herself that this was an escape. The jet took off and after a few minutes; it leveled and the seatbelt sign went off. Mia released the breath she had been holding.
Asher unbuckled himself and looked at her. “Hey, are you ok? Why didn’t you say you were a nervous flyer?”
Sure, let’s go with that explanation, Mia thought. It was far better than the one about her wolf clawing

Connor felt like a dog chasing his own tail. He didn’t want to even imagine what the other werewolves with him were thinking or whispering behind his back. He had a group of four of his pack wolf shifters with him, ordinary betas who served as soldiers of the pack. The five of them had been tasked with finding Mia and returning her to the pack, but he was in charge. It was him that made the decisions, and him who got the unpleasant task of informing the alpha every time their lead went cold. And another lead had definitely gone cold. He felt like breaking something. He would have preferred to be in a bloody, gruesome, bone breaking fight right about now, then to accept that the alpha’s daughter had yet again outsmarted him. He had been so certain that he had her after catching her scent in the bar. That had been two nights ago. They had searched every inch and under every rock in the town they thought she could hide in and had come up with noth

Mia reached for her bag, which she had dropped by the door at the same time Asher’s hand wrapped around her arm to stop her. She was so angry; she was literally vibrating with the effort it took to hold her wolf back. “Let go,” she told him harshly through her clenched teeth. “Give a guy a chance to explain before you shoot him,” Asher responded quietly. He positioned himself so his front completely made contact with her back and cornered her against the wall next to the front door. It was a daring move, considering what he had seen her do to the two guys who had attacked her outside the bar the very first night he had met her. He had little doubt she could push him back and leave any second. The fact that she didn’t do exactly that gave him a tiny glimmer of hope. He sighed quietly and tried to reason with her. “Let me explain, it’s not what you think.” “You want to explain that?” She jerked her head in the direction of the kit

At her request, and against his strongest and deepest wish, Asher set Mia up in one of the guest bedrooms. Needless to say, he had picked the closest room to his own, and he spent hours straining to listen to whatever she was doing in the room next door. By the end of the night, he felt like a creep and he was exhausted to the bone. To add to his frustrations, Asher had to leave her alone in the house that morning because he had neglected his workload long enough. It was beginning to worry some of the investors and colleagues he dealt with. It always irritated him how fragile the business world was, but there was nothing he could do but reassure everyone that he was fine and his companies were not about to drown like the titanic. His only consolation was that she was in his house and he would see her in just a few hours. Asher sat at his desk and tried to plough through as many of the documents as possible. He was doing an impressive job

Mia paced the hallway like a caged animal. In a way, if she thought about it, she really was an animal and probably caged, but not in the literal term. Asher hadn’t locked her in his house, if she wanted, she could have left the moment she woke up that morning and found herself alone in his house with only a note explaining that he had gone to the office and would be back in the evening. The note had sounded so domestic and normal. Well, there was nothing normal about whatever was going on between her and Asher, Mia thought. For starters, nothing was supposed to be going on between her and the human. Wolf shifters didn’t mate with humans. It had never happened in all the history of the packs. Not that she would say that Asher and her were now mated. They only had sex once. But as though that was not enough of a crime she had already committed, there was also the fact that she was originally supposed to mate with Alpha Dylan of the Ice lak

She felt twitchy and her wolf howled for blood. She spared a moment and thought of Asher in the house, taking a shower and unaware of the danger outside his house. Every protective instinct she had came to the surface. In that second, she knew she would do anything to make sure Asher was safe. Her veins filled with rage even as her wolf clawed at her to get out. She had thought she would still have some time to figure things out, but it looked like time was not on her side. It took just a few seconds to step away from the house and walk into the dark backyard where she knew the intruder awaited. The scent was unmistakable; it was the same one she had caught on Asher’s hand just minutes before. The Vampire had followed Asher home. Any hope she may have had that it was all a coincidence that a vampire walked into Asher’s office and there was nothing to it, was gone. Mia clenched her teeth. It was clear sh

Chris hadn’t bargained for the possibility of explaining himself to the woman. His plan had been to take her and find out why the two packs he hated the most in the world were after her. She was simply supposed to be his ticket to getting back at Blue creek and Ice lake. She was an important asset to both packs, and he was going to exploit the opportunity. Now he stared at the wolf, growling at him and James. Maybe his approach hadn’t been award winning, but he hadn’t expected things would get this far off. Damn. Living as a rogue, he had forgotten how temperamental female wolves were. Chris cleared his throat and tried again. “Do you think you could shift back so we can hold this conversation like civilized people?” he asked tentatively. “She doesn’t look like she wants to talk,” James whispered from his position, still slightly behind Chris for his own safety. Unfortunately, James was right. Chris could see that, too. The she-wolf had

Asher and Layla watched in disbelief as the two police vehicles drove down the driveway and away from his house. The black and white of the cars were only highlighted by the flashing red and blue lights. Soon enough, the cars disappeared and the last of the flashing lights with them. “Did that just happen?” Layla asked in a shocked whisper. She had seen and heard it all, but couldn’t believe it. She blinked and gazed in the direction the police cars had disappeared. “I can’t believe that happened,” she muttered. Before Asher could come up with an answer, not that he could even think of one, he was completely baffled; Luckily for him, another car entered his driveway. As it got closer, he recognized the car. “You called Dave?” Asher turned to his sister and arched his eyebrow. Her hand came up in a gesture that said ‘duh.’ “Come on, Asher, strange shit happened here tonight... of course I called Dave.” Dave stepped out of

The sound of his phone ringing brought Alpha Dylan out of his private thoughts. He didn’t appreciate the disturbance, not that he was actually thinking of anything positive. Not bothering to hurry and find out who was calling him, he gently set the cold bottle of beer on the table and retrieved the phone. He gave the screen a stoic glance before sliding his finger across the screen and then pressing the phone to his ear. “You have something?” he asked the person on the line without bothering with pleasantries. “It could be nothing…” “If you thought it was nothing...you wouldn’t have called,” Dylan interrupted in a hard tone, his growl almost following his words. The line went silent for a moment. Dylan called on all the self-control he could muster. Keeping a cool head was vital for an Alpha, but the situation was beyond testing his limits. When he had agreed to Levi’s offer to mate with his daughter,

Asher sat on a fallen tree, comfortably leaning against a rock. Mia watched him from a distance.He wore a black top that showed off his muscles and tattoos, just like she enjoyed. A black leather jacket sat next to him on the fallen tree trunk. It was part of his bike gear, but the bike was nowhere in sight because they had left it in a clearing almost a mile away.Mia completed her shift and stood up. She smiled as she watched her mate bounce their son on his knees and pointed out the trees and rocks. She couldn’t believe this was her life now. Not only did she have a mate, but she had a beautiful son as well, and she adored them both.They were in the woods because Mia needed to ‘stretch her legs’, as Asher liked to put it. And since the house they had bought wasn’t too far, Asher liked to ride them all on his bike to this secluded area.Since Ren wasn’t yet old enough to run with his mother, he stay

Asher watched the rather busy happenings of people passing by the window as he took a last sip of his coffee, then placed the empty mug back on the table. He hadn’t thought pack life was such a hive of activities.His thoughts, however, were not truly on thecoming and going of man and beast outside his window. No, his thoughts were bombarded with what he had discussed with Chris and James. If Levi would not fold, then they had to take drastic action and run.It was the same plan Asher had entertained the first time he was in the pack lands, chained to a wall. But unlike that time when death would have fallen on him swiftly in a blink of an eye. This time, the plan had potential to succeed. Chris and James were there to give Asher and Mia a fighting chance.Chris and James had already left the house to plot out the best route of escape. Asher was waiting for Mia to show up as she usually did, just as the sun touched the horizon.

Before he realized it, Asher had already spent an entire week with the pack. The days had flown by in an interesting mix of frustration and relief. The relief was, he had spent every waking hour in Mia’s company. Although under the very watchful eye of one of the pack enforcers. Asher imagined it was like having a chaperon in the nineteen hundreds. Making sure the virtue of a woman was kept intact while in the company of a man. It was a little late for that, of course, but it didn’t seem to deter their devotion to the task. Although it really pissed him off to high heaven and beyond, Asher managed to bite back his anger and tolerate it. At least he was grateful they hadn’t thrown him out, which would have made Levi extremely thrilled, he had no doubt. Something else that would have made Alpha Levi happy was James and Chris leaving the pack lands. But the duo had stuck around like an awful skin rash. The two made up Asher’s night c

Asher and Mia left the alpha’s house in a deep, thoughtful silence. It was like words failed them both at that moment. Or it was a matter of where to begin. It was actually the first occasion they were getting to talk ever since Connor and Sam had stormed into Asher’s house in the middle of the night. It was also their first time talking ever since Asher discovered what Mia was. Everything was now out in the open. There were no more secrets hidden in omissions, half truths, or lies. Mia bit her tongue and avoided Asher’s scrutinising gaze, which she felt like a burning flame on her skin. Her own thoughts caused a different fire within her. He had come back for her, yes, but she wasn’t still certain what he felt about the whole matter of werewolves. Not to mention her father’s frosty behaviour and the whole Dylan story. James’ words flashed through her mind. ‘What you see there is nature’s perfected killing machine. That is
What Love doesn't know Chapter 50
Levi’s words filled the air and hung there like a toxic smell, ready to suffocate everyone present in the room. Or at least five out of the seven people present in the room. Everything and everyone seemed to first freeze in place, including the air, before things suddenly blew like a time bomb running out of time. Mia jumped off the couch, a deep growl erupting from her chest vibrating the walls when she faced her father. Her eyes glowed with her wolf, so close to the surface. She clenched and curled her hands, feeling her claws dig into her palm. Any second blood would sip out of the minor cuts and find its way to the floor next to her feet. Asher didn’t stand, but he moved to the edge of the couch, leaned his elbows on his knees and steepled his fingers before placing his chin on them. He closed his eyes for a moment and mentally counted to ten, very slowly, trying to calm himself before he did something stupid. When he

With the remaining injured, but lucky to be alive, members of Ice Lake leaving with literally their tails between their legs, Levi led the rest of his pack back to the houses. Despite the victory, Levi was not in a pretty state. The wounds on his body had stopped bleeding but still looked terrible. It probably didn’t help that he was also covered in dirt and Dylan’s blood as well. But Asher had to admire the man, even though he shuddered in disgust on his behalf. Levi did not so much as wince or show any sign he was in pain as he walked back with the pack. Asher, on the other hand, had unfortunately realized just how many injuries were all over his body and was not enjoying it one bit. His thoughts went back to Mia’s father and his confident steps. Asher was impressed, that was until James drew closer to him and whispered, “Don’t be fooled, these dogs heal in a matter of hours. By tomorrow that old goat will barely have a scratch on him

Her strong paws crushed leaves and twigs as they hit the ground in haste. Mia could now hear the obvious sounds of wolves fighting in the distance. It carried to her on the cool breeze that blew her way. She was almost there. The telling scent of blood was enough to churn her insides and confirm it. She didn’t exactly think she would single-handedly fight for her pack and spare them from certain death at the hand of the Ice Lake pack. Her ego was not that inflated. She rather just believed her presence would count. No sounds of a wolf running behind her floated her way. That only meant Sam hadn’t come after her. That was excellent. It would have been a struggle she neither had the time nor energy for. Despite her troubled thoughts, Mia had enough sense to come to an abrupt stop when she reached the fight and just quickly analyzed the situation. Almost immediately, the first thing she noticed amongst all the gruesome fighti

Mia sat up with a jerk when she heard her father’s howl cut through the air outside the house. Even though she was in a closed room, the sound had penetrated the walls and reached her as though the alpha had howled right there in the room with her. The Alpha’s call vibrated through her, calling to her wolf, calling to the pack. Calling to the bond that connected them all. It was a call to warn of intruders, a call to warn of serious trouble in their land. And a call to all pack members to fight for their pack. Mia recognized it all. Her feet hit the ground fast as she made her way to the closed window, desperate to find out what had provoked such a call. Nothing but calm trees met her eyes. She couldn’t see and anyone running in panic or otherwise. Her bedroom window didn’t have a view of the center of the pack homes, so it was pointless. Suddenly, behind her, the bedroom door opened. Mia turned to find her mother’s panicked face. In th

For a moment, it looked as though Alpha Levi didn’t know what to do with the human. He actually seemed to be speechless. Had it been a less tense moment, someone would have actually dared to laugh. Asher finally saw what Chris had meant by shocking the old alpha and surviving longer than five seconds. He didn’t dare to look away from Levi. The older man’s angry glare was almost too much to bear, but Asher refused to give in and look away. If he was going to get Mai, he knew he had to go through her father. Just as the tension seemed to reach breaking point, the Alpha’s attention snapped to the trees above them. He snarled. “You brought a rogue wolf and a blood sucker as your backup to steal my daughter?” Levi asked in an accusing but mocking tone. Asher chanced an indifferent shrug. “In desperate times, you can’t be too picky about who your friends are.” “You must be pretty desperate,” som
