SAM’S SURPRISE…. They all had tried to go to bed early, but most was too excited to sleep. Ashur told Sam that he was going to spend time with his Uncle and that he would see her in the morning. Honestly, he wanted to talk to the chef if Ashur could use the kitchen to make a special breakfast for Sam. He wanted to take his mate into the Garden and this is where he was to ask her to be his forever. It was there he was going to ask her if he could mark her and she him. He had no doubt that she would say yes. He wanted everything to be perfect. He asked his Uncle to mind-link her and have her come to the garden before breakfast. What Sam did not expect, was to find Ashur standing there holding her chair out for her. “What is this?” She asked with a smile on her face, thinking it was just breakfast. “Well we haven’t had a chance for a lot of alone time. So I thought we could have breakfast together. We both have such a busy day ahead of us, I thought we both would enjoy a moment just t

CAUTION…THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS SOME CONTENT OF SEXUAL ASSAULT THAT SOME MAY FIIND DISTRUBING TO READ. PLEASE SKIP TO CHAPTER 124 ASHUR… “We will find her.” Matilda tried to reassure him. Felan was focusing on the nature around her, when she suddenly got an image. It was almost like she was flying and looking down, but she could steel feel she was on the ground. She was surrounded by friends and family. They were all staring at her. It took her a minute to realize what was going on. “ASHUR!” She yelled. “I am right here.” He said, stepping forward. She immediately grabbed his arm and squeezed it. “Felan, are you ok?” He asked her. She started to fall as the tears started to pour from her eyes. “Ashur, she needs us.” Felan said. “Who?” He asked. “Sam, she is…, Goddess, what have they done to her?” “Who, Felan, what is going on?” Ashur asked, but Felan couldn’t speak. She was in shock from what she was seeing. Aaliyah was by her side in no time. She wrapped her arms around Felan and

THE BIRTH…Shaba was in a lot of pain but was surprisingly calm. Nezerra, on the other hand, was pacing back and forth across the room. He was mumbling to himself and when he spoke up, only he understood the words he was saying. Shaba looked at him and said, “Come here!” He walked over and asked her “Are you ok?” Well, no, honestly, I am worried about you now. Are you ok?” “I am fine.” He tried to reassure her, but Shaba could hear sarcasm in his voice and see the worry in his eyes. “Come on, out with it. You will not spoil this day for either of us.” She spoke.“We have rogues outside of the border surrounding us. Rogue Alpha, Zail said something told him to be here, that we needed the extra help today.” “Ok and what is bothering you about that?” Jake and his pack are on their way and what if they get here and see Zail as a threat? Or worse, what if Zail really is a threat? They have our entire border surrounded where nothing can get in or out. I knew he had a big group, but I didn’t

ABANDONED Building…“Do you remember that place that we were going to buy about a year ago, but somebody beat us to it?” Nezerra asked him. “You think he is going there?” “I don’t think I know that is where he is going. I have been keeping tabs on that place and the new buyers only fixed up a few of the buildings.” Nezerra said. “Are you talking about that old, abandoned campground?” Mack asked.“That would be the place.” Nezerra answered. “Interesting, seems that Josiah or his pack has been keeping tabs on us for a while now.” Mack responded. “I stopped taking the kids for runs through there as soon as they started construction on the place.” Ashur added. “I wanted to know who was moving in next door and I first though it might have been some of Shaba’s pack of rogues. After some time though they didn’t really seem to pose any threat, but to be on the safe side I have a few of the warriors keeping watch on them.” “So, all this time they have just been laying low.” Mack stated.JOSIA

Taking a break…“I still cannot talk about the things she told me Frazer did to her.” Mason said. “How long?” Ashur asked him. “How long what?” Mason replied. “How long did it take you to find her and how long before she was somewhat back to herself?” “It took me exactly 1 week to find her. As far as the other half of that question, I can’t answer. I didn’t know her long before this happened to her. What I can tell you is that it took her months to talk to me about what happened.“I was patient, and we took things slow. After a year she finally let me mark her. When she went into heat, I put her in a safe secure location that nobody could get in and she couldn’t get out. Yes, I did want her, and I wanted her bad, but I knew it had to be on her terms. So, you see Ashur when I say that I know how you feel, I know exactly how you feel. I don’t think it will take as long to find Sam. With the resources and the support, you have here, there is nothing we can’t do. I am here if you need to
