Ashton POVI know Alaina is not doing well right now, I can feel it through the bond, but she won’t let me touch her, never mind comfort her. I should have told her before, I should have told her as soon as I found out, but I didn’t think that she was in the right head space to deal.                'And it’s that thinking that caused issues with our mate in the first place!'                'You know what?! You are insufferable when you gloat!'Jan huffs and retreats to a deeper part of my mind. How was I supposed to know that not only did my mom knew her mom, but that she knew everything that happened. On one hand I am ecstatic that Alaina can finally get some answers, on the other though… I am scared, I am scared that this will be the last straw for her, that thi

Ashton POV *ASH! YO ASHTON MAN COME ON.* *Austin, why exactly are you yelling at me?* *Where the fack have you been?* *I went for a run, needed to clear my head.* *Dude, Alaina was looking for you, she’s freaking the fack out!* *Why?* *Probably because she can’t find you AND she’s been trying to link you and Jan but is getting complete silence back?* Shat, I was hoping to be back before she noticed I was gone, but there should be no reason for her to not be able link me. 'Why can’t Alaina get through?' 'I have no idea. I didn’t hear anything, and it didn’t feel like you had a block up with someone trying to break through.' 'What the…' *I’m on my way back now, Janus has no clue what happened either. Where is she?* Janus turns around and starts to run back. We’ve been gone for a while, I would guess cl

Ashton POV                   “I want you to come in with me.” Those are words that I have been waiting to hear for months! I have been trying so hard to be patient, to give her the time she needs, to not push her into doing something she isn’t ready for, and it has been beyond hard some days… pun not intended.                 “As long as you are sure you want me there, and if at any point you want me out just let me know and I will leave.” Alaina nods, grabs my hand and we walk into the building together. I feel almost elated, she is trusting me enough to bring me in with her. I know we made the agreement in regards to the douchecanoe, AKA Finlay, but I had also told her it didn’t need to be this soon. Just passed the doors I give Alaina a small tug backwards.     

Ashton POV After dropping Alaina off at the pack house, I link Austin to meet me at the dock.                “Ok, why am I here exactly?”Grinning like a fool, and bouncing on my toes, I am having issues forming a complete sentence I am so excited!                “Date with Alaina!”I half yell at him. Austin laughs and nods his head in understanding. This is something that I have been looking forward to for years, but more so in the last few months. The more Alaina has become comfortable, and has been able to work on things the closer this moment seemed to get, just causing my excitement to constantly elevate.                “You have a plan yet man?” &nb

Steven POV I have no clue how I ended up here; running from my Alpha, and the rest of the pack. Running for my life, because if they catch up with me there is no way I am going to be kept alive. Ok, I do have a clue… I know I facked up but I had no choice, I swear I had no choice. At least that’s what I have been telling myself for months!                 *Flashback*I hate running the border. There are 8 trackers in the pack, right now, and only two of us run the border, so we are doing twelve-hour shifts. I am hopeful that the newest tracker will be fully trained soon to take some of the load off myself and Delaney. We used to have 6 on shift, that was until a couple got too old, and another got hurt. We haven’t had enough pups to take over, when Oston showed the ability to track we were all so excited, when she showed the ability to be str
