Alaina POV “I’m sorry, I didn’t think when I ordered, I really don’t know what you like to eat, so I hope I got something you might like.” I slowly crawl across to the end of the bed, looking at Ash skeptically. Logically I know he isn’t Fin, I know that he wouldn’t treat me the same, but a part of me is wondering if he is going to start making the same comments once I start eating. Without answering him I walk to the tray and lift the first silver dome. There’s bacon, eggs benedict, some of those big chunky hashbrowns, sausages, and toast. The other silver dome has... I don’t know what they are... “Those are crepes, it’s kinda like a really thin pancake that’s rolled up with fruit and stuff inside. These ones have chocolate, whipped cream, and a bunch of different kinds of berries.” “Those sound interesting... do you mind if I have the eggs though?” The crepes look really good, but I can see strawberries and I really don’t like strawberries
Ashton POV I left her sitting on the bed, that has to be the hardest thing I have done since I didn’t know how she was doing in April, but I had to! One of the warriors linked me, that they were able to get a couple bathing suits for Alaina to try on, while I was trying to regain my composure. “Alpha!” “Hey Brett, how has your day been going?” I don’t think I could wipe the smile off my face if I tried, today has been the best day of my life, so far! “Good, Alpha, thank you. Here are the items you asked for.” I take the bag from Brett and start to rummage through it. “Sam went, he wasn’t sure what style, or colour, or size, the Luna might want, or need, so he grabbed one of everything.” I raised an eyebrow at Brett and tilted my head a little. “He got one of everything?” “Yes Alpha, and a pair of trunks should be in there, as well, for you.” I chuckle a little and turn to go back into the roo
Alaina POV Today has been close to perfect. Ashton has been so attentive, it feels like he’s walking around on eggshells though, like he’s afraid of upsetting me. He made me decide what bathing suit I wanted to wear, he made me decide what we were going to do, part of me is waiting for him to turn out to be like Fin. When I was sitting on him, he suddenly grabbed my hips and made me sit still. I didn’t even realize I was squirming, but when he looked me in the eyes, I could see he was fighting with Janus to stay in control. Fin probably would have taken that advantage. He was always so mad that I wouldn’t do that with him, kept telling me I ‘owed him’ for him loving me. I’m realizing more and more that what he was doing was NOT love! On the drive to Ashton’s territory, he gives me a bit of a tour. I guess the ground is really good for crops, he told me how the yellow fields are canola, and the light brown are typically wheat, the tall green things are corn, but he did tell me that th
Ashton POV I was about to force Fin to shift back when Austin came and pushed us off him. 'What the fack is he doing?' 'Do I look like a bloody mind reader Ash? Why don’t you mind link and ask dumbarse.' I try to mind link Austin, but he has a block up, and I can't even push through it. He clearly wants this dealt with in the open. 'What the fack? He just punched me in the snout! Ah, my ear!' What the fack has gotten into Austin? I don’t want to hurt him, but if he doesn’t stop, I might have to! “YOU GAVE HER A FACKIN ALPHA COMMAND” 'What? Who did I give an Alpha command to? Gray?' 'Beats me' Swift boot to the side. Jan gives a warning growl, about beating on him, but a confused look, wanting to know what the fack he’s talking about. “YOU WANTED HER TO WANT YOU, YOU WANTED HER TO ASK FOR YOU BUT YOU GAVE HER A COMMAND AND SHE COULDN’T!” 'Her... is her talking about
“If at any point I do not like how the conversation is going, whether it’s the topic or that he’s upsetting you, I will remove you, forcibly if needed!”I can see the anger at that form on her face, but she doesn’t say anything. “One last thing.”She leans back to look at me.“Do you want me to put you down, or carry you? It’s only two flights of stairs but there’s no elevator”The corners of her eyes crinkle, and I can see that she is trying to hold in her laughter.“Well, with that... carry me down Geeves”I start to descend the stairs, with Austin close behind.“Geeves?”I hear behind me.“Yeah, wasn’t he someone's butler or something?”“A butler?! You calling me your butler now?”“I&
Alaina POV“Alright love, give me a second?”I cannot believe him right now! Two facking years! He watched me for two years and said nothing, did nothing, knew I was miserable but still left me there! He made it so that I couldn’t ask for him, at least not in a way that would have made sense to anyone else. How do you tell someone ‘hey I want this Alpha’ but can't tell them why you want them? You end up looking like some crazy stalker! My biggest question right now, one that is going to have to wait, is how did Cal know to bring me here? Beyond me asking for Ash, how did he know? I know if I had asked my dad, it wouldn’t have happened!Ash talks to some of his guards, I’m sticking close to him, just in case that other wolf... Gray? Decides to do anything. I don’t really feel safe here, I feel exposed, like something can go wrong at any second. Trying to take in the area around me and pay attenti
“You were fighting with someone, I presume it was Fin, and he wanted to go get you out of there. It took both me and Cal holding him down to stop him. Then in April you were crying with a girl who had pink and blue hair.”“Why, exactly did you stop him?”“Alaina, I really, REALLY, think you should have this conversation with Ash, not me!”“I will, I promise I will, I am having a hard time trusting him right now though, and I want to make sure that he’s telling me the truth when I ask.”Another puff of air, either I am really frustrating him, or he loves sighing!“He Alpha commanded me to stop him, I don’t know why Cal did, but it was his whole ‘she needs to ask for me’ bullshat! Cal did go out and talk with you two though. I guess that would happen a lot. If he saw you there, and that you were upset, Cal would go talk to you.”“So basically, every
“I would suggest you stop being an arsehole before I can't calm him down anymore. His Lycan likes to play with his food. Now, narrow it down? No, I don’t think I need to do that, because I want to know why you did it all to me! Why did you cheat with Lochlynn, why didn’t you tell me about your mate, what made you shift into the horrible person that you ended up being when I got back?”He starts laughing. I am on the verge of tears, but I can't let him see that, I need to be strong. I need to get this shat over with so I can move on with my life, as facked up as it is.“You want to know why... well... where do I start? I thought you were an annoying little twit growing up.”Seriously? This goes all the way back to when we were kids? How did I not see it? Ash starts rubbing my back, he knows that I am now the one who needs to be calmed, and he knows that will help. That must be the mate bond working.“You wouldn&rsq
