Chapter 21
BEN POV
I groan loudly as I roll over. My head feels like it is splitting. My body feels like it was run over by a bus. I manage to make it to the restroom on autopilot. I empty the tank and head to the sink to wash my hands. When I see my face in the mirror, shock floods my system. I look like warmed-over death.
My eyes are bloodshot, and my skin is deathly pale. My under eyes look like I haven't slept in years. What the hell happened last night?
Ben- Vince
.............
Ben- Ace
............
My links fail, and panic floods my system. Where the hell is my wolf?
Ben- ACE? ACE?
I run out of my room and sniff the air, but nothing comes to my nose. No scents. That isn't right. There should be pack members in the house. I sprint to my office, but my pace is human slow.

SASHA POV I sigh as I fold another shirt. Tomorrow we leave Blue Hill. This pack has been nice, but I'm just not into it. Natalia and I can't stop thinking about Ben. It doesn't help that he calls Chelsea's phone every other day. Luis and Roland have been worried about me since my fighting has been weak. But I don't know how to find that spark again. It's like I am lifeless. I don't feel the pain like I did when he hurt my feelings.......I'm just kind of numb. My cell rings, and I glance at the number. Mom. "Hey, mom," I answer, trying to sound happy and not exhausted. "Hey honey, do you have a minute," mom asks, and I get a little worried. "Yes, I'm not doing anything important, just packing," I answer, and she sighs. "What's wrong," I ask, pausing my movements. "White Crest is falling apar
The Princess's Mate Chapter 23
SASHA POV I stare at Ace's mark with mixed emotions. Part of me is happy that I am claimed. My mate and I are halfway to being whole. But the other part of me is worried. Ben and I haven't truly spoken since our disaster of a date. I will admit it is pretty, though. It isn't complete, but it looks like I will have Ben's initials in White Crest colors, which is a typical wolf mark. I finish putting up my hair, and I change into my running outfit. I don't know what the plan is today because last night I ran from the room after Luis assaulted Ben. I don't know if Ben plans to hold a ceremony to be reinstated as Alpha or what. I don't even know what my plan is. Last night was one impulsive decision after another. I jog down the steps, and Ben's scent hits me in the face. My nerves instantly begin to make me feel sick. Is it normal to be this n

ALPHA BEN She looks like an absolute dream, and her lips feel like satin. While I look like I aged another ten years, she looks as fresh as a daisy. I'm still in shock that she is even here. Let alone here with Ace's mark on her neck. It is as if the last month hasn't happened. Chelsea keeps sending me smug looks, but I am ignoring her. I do not know why I have a full audience, but I am sure one will say something soon. Luis and Roland have never been shy with their dislike of me. I hear footsteps, and my head snaps up, but the scent that flows from the doorway isn't Sasha's. Instead, Vince strolls into the room and joins my onlookers. "So, where are you taking her," Luis asks in a strained voice that barely contains his sneer. I pull back the growl that I want to send his way. I know causing more friction between the two of us will do nothing
The Princess's Mate Chapter 25
SASHA POV Ben's cheeks are flushed as he sits back down. Our bond is now whole, and the feeling is overwhelming. His emotions aren't just flowing within me. It is as if he is shooting them at me, and with each shot, they are shattering a piece of my uncertainty. I feel absolutely nothing that would lead me to believe Ben is trying to fool me. His emotions pour out happiness and contentment, but there is a hint of smugness. As if he is happy about proving me wrong about his interest in that annoying she-wolf. Which makes both Natalia and I happy. "Will it always feel this powerful," I ask once again in a soft voice that I only seem to use with him."I'm not sure. You have had your wall up most of the day, so I haven't felt much—just your stronger emotions. Like when you stubbed your toe getting in the shower," Ben responds with a smirk and humor dancing in his eyes.

SASHA POV I rush into the packhouse with Ben laughing behind me. I can not wait to show Luis and Roland this cake. It is amazing!Sasha- hey, come to the kitchenLuis/Roland- okay I unbox the slice of elegant chocolate and wait. Ben takes out five glasses and pours milk into all of them. I watch him with open curiosity before realization dawns on me."I'm not sharing," I say, and Ben's head snaps in my direction. He looks stunned for about two seconds before he begins laughing harder than I have ever seen him. "So you are going to show off your cake and then eat the whole thing in front of them," Ben asks between laughs and wiping his tear-filled eyes."Yes. Luis and Roland know how I am about sweets. This piece of divine perfection is mine. I just want the beauty to go down in history before being dev

LUIS POV"I swear if he did something else, I am not saving him," Amelia answers, and I almost smile."My queen, Sasha needs you. After returning from a date with Ben four hours ago, Sasha collapsed. Doctors aren't sure, but I think she was poisoned............ My Queen......she died for 32 seconds. She had just severed her bond from Riverstone, so you didn't feel it. But our girl died," I say, and I hear Amelia gasp. "Is she okay now," Amelia asks, and I can hear the tears in her voice. "She is stable, my queen, but she is in a coma. Her organs keep shutting down. They opened her up once they got her here to see if there was something they could spot with the naked eye, but nothing came from that. They took a bunch of samples from her. Those results should be available in a few hours. Natalia is present, but she is weak. Sasha is healing slow. She needs your hea

My body hurts, and my bladder is full, but I don't want to move away from whatever smells just like mom.Natalia whines a little in our head, and I groan back at her.Sasha- why are we so sore?Natalia- Silver.Sasha- what?

I can feel Natalia aiding me and providing me with additional strength to search our mind.Sasha- we marked Ben. We got back to the house, and everyone joined White Crest...then I felt funny. I passed out...Natalia- we died. I left you for a moment. I saw the Goddess, but she said it wasn't our time. She told me to be strong and put all my strength into helping you
The Princess's Mate Chapter 29
ALPHA BENI try to keep my rage hidden as the pack gathers in front of me, but I am losing the battle. My usual carefree demeanor has been absent over this past month, and tonight, it is nonexistent. All I want to do is rip the kneeling she-wolf into pieces. Just as my rage begins to take over completely, Sasha squeezes my hand. Soothing tingles shoot up my arm before hitting my heart and dosing the raging fire in my soul.I glance towards my beautiful mate, who looks like the picture of good health. Looking at her right now, you would never know she died last night. She has her hair up in a messy bun, but her outfit is nothing but professional. She has on a cream-colored pencil skirt and a deep pinkish-red satin button-up shirt. Her heels match her skin color and make her legs look like they go on for miles. I clear my throat and look away from my tempting mate.I catch Amelia smirking at me from the front o
