Ashley/ Olivia's POVAlthough I had lowered my guard against Lance a little bit, I still had some restrictions.I talked with him at surface level and did not dare divulge any much information in case I would mistakenly blurt out anything that will give me off. My days in Silvertail were numbered. I had less than two weeks to wrap up everything and leave for Oakstone. I spent more time with little Adrian when I was not training or at the warrior's base. He was such a cute little baby. He reminded me of the fact that I could not give birth to a child of my own. I had no womb to ever carry a child again. The poison destroyed everything, leaving it barren.I had gone to the warriors base earlier than any other day but I had to rush back to the pack house to get a package. I could send anyone with the soldier but decided to get it myself. I had to stop at the alpha's office first. Greg was usually not always early to his office but I heard a voice coming from inside the door as I got

Ashley/ Olivia's POVThe best time to leave Silver Tail noticed was at midnight. As a captain, I knew the in and out and where I could sneak out easily. I decided to take one tour around the house before I would leave. Lance came back to the house much early and he made dinner. He promised to specially prepare dinner for me but I did not take it to heart like I now did.His action and that of the servants this evening was as if they were either pleading I stayed behind or they were sending me off. It prompted me to begin to think if they were aware of my plans."How would they know? Are there some spirit who can read anyone's mind?" Lola kicked the thought out of my head. However, it was better to be careful so I acted like I did on every other days."I prepared your favorite so eat as much as you can." Lance said as a he dished out food for me on the dining table. The food spread out was appetizing and I ate from every of the dishes he made."How is it?" he asked, standing bes

Ashley/Olivia's POVI ran and refused to stop even when I was tired. I made sure to cover every track or trace of my scent even while I escaped.Lola was too tired but she refused to stop. She had been running the whole night and it was just a little past dawn."Lola, please rest a little. We are far away from Silver Tail now and so it will be hard for anyone to come for us." I said to her, trying to take the reign from her."Just a little bit more. Let me run a little bit more until I am sure we are in a safe zone." She said, still running.I felt bad for letting her do all the running. I would have done part while she continued. I do not have that much stamina as her to run for eight straight hours without stopping to rest."I just feel bad and want you to rest. I have been resting here all night while you take all the stress of running to escape on you." I said, my voice laced with concern."Don't worry about me. I will be fine." She assured me.I gave up on trying to persuade her

Ashley/Olivia's POVI woke up to stinging pain in my stomach. "Ouch!" I yelled. "Stop whining like a child. Can't you endure a little bit of hunger and why didn't you pack things we would need properly?""Aren't you hungry? Stop saying it like I am a weak human in this form. I just didn't have enough to eat before I slept so I am a bit hungry this morning.""Were you feeling guilty about leaving Lance and you did not even pack enough food for us? Gosh! This is bad! What did I do to deserve this from my mother half? She's starving me. Don't tell me you were also thinking about Lance all through the night and you didn't sleep.""You! Is this now a one sided blame? Were you thinking about Martains because you don't feel any mate bond with Lance? Stop whining and nagging like a child. Let's look for something to eat.""Hmph! You always find a way to counter me. I don't know why you brought Martains into the picture. Now you speak on him, don't you think you should be a lot more considerat

Ashley/Olivia's POV"Does he know something else about me? Has he seen me in Silver Tail?" My mind brought a lot of possibilities of questions but I managed to maintain my composure in front of me him without looking shocked or taken aback with surprise."There is nothing more to know that what I have told you, sir. I am a lone wolf and my name is Emily." I repeated, stressing the words for him to hear."I know. I heard that. I just could not help but ask because I felt attracted to you and I do not know the reason. Please don't think of this negatively. The kind of attraction I sensed is one of pack membership.""By any chance, do you have anyone who comes from any of the pack in Oakstone?"I felt relieved to hear that he had not seen me anywhere before. It was just his hunches giving him a sense of likeness as related pack members between the both of us."Is that part of the reason you decided to help me?" I asked, connecting the line on why he would easily decide to help a stranger
