Asher remained silent and in his own head for a couple more seconds, but those seconds felt like hours as the people in the trees seemed to be getting closer. The once huge forest I had ran through and felt as though it went on forever, was now tiny and only getting smaller with every second that would tick by.My hand was still interlocked with Asher’s, his thumb running over my knuckles which was the only sign that he hadn’t fully gone into himself. I was also standing extremely close to him; I wondered if I would be able to get any closer if I tried. But in this moment, deep down I knew he would be able to protect me from whatever these things were. After a couple more minutes, Asher snaps out of his trance and looks around at those things for a second before turning back to us.“I have given the order for the pack to be put into lockdown, all of the women and children are being escorted to the pack houses basement for protection. The guards and fighters are all suited up and will

I slowly begin wake up to something nudging me, I turn over in hopes of whatever was bugging me would get the hint and leave me alone. But when it only continues, I force my eyes open to see Asher smiling down at me.He was in a completely different outfit to what he was last night, and this may sound weird, but he smelt clean, I knew this meant he had gotten up to shower whilst allowing me to sleep. But I also smelt a different kind of smell, I take a look down to his hands where a plate full of food sat.“I had the kitchen prepare your breakfast early as you were unable to eat yesterday.” He smiles moving the plate that much closer to my face, but I groan turning my head to the side still tired.“It’s too early to eat.” I say protesting him, but the smell of the food was reminding my body of the hunger it should be feeling, but I manage to shake that off and focus on falling back to sleep.I hear the sound of the plate being placed down on the bedside table before the other side of

Asher holds my gaze for a moment, the pain wasn’t as severe when his eyes look deep into mine. I still hadn’t a clue what has happening with me but for some reason, now Asher was close by and reassured me I was going to be okay; I wasn’t scared anymore.But the little break I had from the pain didn’t last long, the burning sensation which spread throughout my body was more intense than it had been before. I couldn’t contain the blood curdling scream which left my lips, my heels digging into the floor as I lay there. Once I opened my eyes, I see Asher watching me with such remorse in his expression.“I will go and run you a cold bath, do not go anywhere.” He tells me sternly before getting to his feet and walking towards the bathroom, what does this guy think I’m going to do in this predicament, run a gosh darn marathon?!But now he had gotten further away from me, the pain only increased to a higher level than before. I roll to my stomach and begin to sob from the pain, I didn’t want

I begin to make my way down the huge staircase in the pack house, nobody was around like they have been normally. This factor caused an uneasy feeling to spread throughout my body, I would see this when I first arrived here. The halls would be abandoned, and the entire town resembled a ghostly set, as if I wasn’t allowed to see what was happening. Was that done intentionally before, maybe they didn’t want me to see them all turn into wolves!But deep down I knew it was best nobody was here, now I know they are all really werewolves which have the ability to tear me apart limb from limb, I needed some space to try and get my head around it all. I soon reach the pack house door and enter into the twilight sky, this seeming to be the atmosphere I’ve been faced with lately.I take a deep breath in, allowing the crips air to run through my body before making my way down the steps and following the path. This was one I hadn’t taken before, which was certainly, also a running theme in my lif

I wake up to the bed moving slightly, opening up my eyes I see Asher rubbing his eyes but still in the same suit as last night. I was a little too disoriented to really comprehend what was happening, but when he looks down and spots that I’m awake, he leans back down.“It’s okay mi amour, I have some things I need to attend to this morning, go back to sleep.” He says stroking my hair with his hand, I watch him for a second before listening and closing my eyes once again.I feel him place a kiss on my head before the sounds of footsteps and the door opening and closing fills the room, I knew this meant he’d left so I attempted to go back to sleep. But the longer I wound lay there, the more sleep felt distant and subsequently, never came.I open up my eyes and turn to the window, the sky was still pretty dark with the sun slowly beginning to rise telling me it was still quite early in the morning. What things would Asher need to do at this time of the morning? I sit up straight doing a
