Chapter one: Remember to breathe Ashley’s POV A long-forgotten house came into view. The shutters lay in shambles on the ground, and the door looks like it is barely hanging on. It wasn’t Luxurious, but for now, it was home. We moved from Oregon, where we had an apartment over the corner coffee shop. Walking to school was questionable. We lived outside the pack in the Human town because my mom was human, and my dad is a werewolf. While it’s not outlawed anymore, it was still frowned upon. I live with my dad; my mom died in a Rogue Attack last year. The wounds are still fresh, and every day is a struggle. We left Oregon because the memories were too much to bare. Alpha Derek was great, but too much reminded us of her. Dad and I aren’t close; he spends most of his time in his study. I’m not sure if moving to Florida was the right choice, but there’s an Alpha here who said we could join his
Chapter two: “Why me”I was pulling the covers up around me as the door opens to reveal Beta Derrick.“ Time to get up sleepy head you’ll be late for the first day of your last week of school.”Anya growled, “ he’s way to chipper for tohis early in the morning.”Rolling my eyes at her, I reluctantly get out of bed.Derrick throws me a bag.“Alpha asked me to pick some stuff up from your house.”I stop dead in my track. He went through my drawers. I could feel the heat radiating off my face of pure embarrassment, not that I have anything I shouldn’t in those drawers but well…. Privacy much.Regaining my composure at the sound of Derricks' laughter, I quickly got ready for class. Thankfully this week consists of mostly half days.Walking out of the packhouse, I started to walk towards school.“Ashley! Get in”
Chapter Three: What happened?Michaels POV:“What’s wrong with her Andrew?” Surely the pack Dr. would have the answer. Right?“Alpha, I don’t know why she isn’t waking up. Her vitals are stable, and we haven’t given her anything to keep her unconscious. The best we can do right now is wait and see.”Murdock growled. He is impatient, especially with Ashley’s eighteenth birthday coming up soon. He just wants to claim our mate.“Derrick,” I called out to my Beta.“Call her father let him know where she is but tell him I need answers.”…………James came rushing to the hospital. The trailer f=of the remainder of their stuff was still hitched to his truck when he got to the Pack Hospital. He headed straight for Ashley’s Room. Derrick blocked his path and sent him to the conferen
Chapter Four: Happy BirthdayJames POV:I hate to leave her. I wasn’t a very good father to Ash, but she always made me proud of her. She is smart like her mother, and she is timid until you push her over the edge. She can have a fiery temper given the right circumstances.I looked around the house; I had planned to fix it up for her gave her a place to call sanctuary. After one quick look around, I left a large purple present box on Ash’s bed. It was a gift from her mom before she was murdered.Stepping out of the house, I saw Alpha Michael. I nodded to him.“James, Derrick will escort you out of the territory. Ashley is in good hands I promise.”“Alpha, I left something important to Ash on her bed upstairs please make sure she gets it.”“I James Garrison hereby denounce my loyalty to Alpha Michael Piers and The Red River pack. I dec
Chapter Five: OOPSAshleys POV“ That felt amazing” I breathlessly said to Michael. His rolling laughter threw me off guard making me “want to cover myself. I wasn’t sure what about this moment was hilarious.Michaels POVSeeing her climax was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. I can tell how un-experienced she Is and I can’t wait to claim her and show her all the ways I can make her cum. Rolling laughter bellowed out as she said that what she did felt amazing. she had so much to learn my sweet innocent mate. Kissing her shoulder up to where I would mark her and removing the sheet, she used to cover herself “ there are so many things you haven’t experienced yet that will feel a million times better.” Ashley’s eyes grew like saucers contemplating what I had just said. Climbing out of her bed “ I’ll se
Chapter 6: Getting to know you:Ashley’s POVI thought I had been quiet enough upstairs so that Derrick couldn’t hear, but werewolves could hear everything. Given I just heard Michaels laughing, I know derrick heard me, and Michael caught wind of it.‘Dash can we go burry our head in the sand instead? Do we have to celebrate out on the town with Michael?’‘Stop complaining. We are wolves not Ostriches! that Is our mate you might as well get use to him because he’s not going anywhere. His wolf agrees with me.’I can tell she’ll be no help to me at keeping my modesty. Of all the wolves the Moon Goddess could have given me, I got the one who would rather I walk around naked than clothed. Walking downstairs, Derrick is laughing with Michael. After what happened, you’d think that Michael would be furious with his Beta for listening to his mate get off. Michael
Chapter 7: Surprise! Michael POV: I had hoped Ash’s present would be done by the time we got done with dinner, but derrick's mind linked me that it wouldn’t be done till later today. We stayed the night on the boat last night, but how will I keep her busy today. Just as I was thinking of a way to keep her busy, the silence of the new dawn was broken by Ash’s moan. I wonder what she’s dreaming about. Her heart rate is even, so I know she’s still fast asleep. Pulling the covers to look at her naked body reminded me of what we did last night. *Flashback* Soft jazz played to the hum of the water around us. The red blood moon is hovering above us. Ash looked so beautiful. I left soft kisses from her cheek down to her shoulder. I could feel the electric sparks from the mate bond pulling us to each other. Murdock is howling in my head. ‘Chill Murdock we can’t mark and mate her yet.’
