All Chapters of The Search: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

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

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. "Eliot," Aspen called our third, it's weird having two mates now, I went from being matless and in search of love to find two, but are they good choices, are they good mates? I knew nothing about them, I know that Eliot is hiding things from me but that's about it, and I know nothing about Aspen. "I'm mad at you two," Eli says, but his voice was a lot gentler, he's baby Eliot. "Why are you mad?" he asks him, while I was just confused, lost in my own thoughts, two mates that I know nothing about. "Ashlynn slapped me and you said you wanna spank me," Eliot says, but he didn't call me mommy, doesn't he want me anymore? Or maybe he gave me up for Aspen. "She slapped you?" he asks turning to me, what did he expect, I thought he was cheating on me, not hiding out third."Yes, she did," he says with a big pout, now coming into view. "Ashlynn, I'm sure there's an explanation for that, but please, do not under any circumstance slap him, not ever again, please," Aspen order m

Ashlynn POV. "When we gonna go home?" I ask Aspen, I am still feeling little and I miss my brother, I want Kitty, I haven't seen him for long, and I'm sad now. "We're going when the boat arrives," Aspen answers me, but that doesn't really answer much. "When does the boat arrive?" I ask him with a bigger pout, I want to leave. "Soon," he says making tears start to go down my face, I want to leave, I want to leave now. "Hey, hey, come here, why are you crying?" he asks me, hugging me closer to his chest now, we've been here for three days and I want to leave, I'm bored with the sea, and the sand, I want to leave. "Wan to leave," I say sniffling. "Okay, we're leaving, the boat is coming soon, then we'll leave, I promise, now please don't cry," he says kissing the top of my head"When we leaving?" I ask him again, I know when the boat come, but when would it come. "Just after Eliot wakes up, and we all get our breakfast we're leaving," he assures me, kissing the top of my head, k

Ashlynn POV. "Mommy! Ashy! come hide me," Eli yells from the outside, I was just having a shower, can't he survive thirty minutes with Aspen. "Showering," I answer him. "Can I join then?" he asks sounding worried now which got me worried too, I opened the bathroom door slightly checking on him. "Yes, Eli?" I say worried. "Nu-uh, me Eliot and daddy Aspen is a big meanie, can me sit with you?" he says, giving me puppy eyes, I couldn't say no to that, he's in his little space, and my mate, I did allow him in, letting him sit on the closed toilet seat as I finished showering. "What happened? With daddy Aspen," I ask him done with my shower, a towel wrapped around me as I added lotion. "He yelled at me, again, for kidnapping you, tell him you like being kidnapped please," he says in the most adorable voice, it's little's logic, I love being kidnapped, which means he did nothing bad. "Okay, I will, do you want to shower?" I ask him, we're already in here. "Mhm," he agrees, I made h
