Choosing Mr. Destiny - Chapter 33: Chapter 33

Ashley's POV
To say I was sore the next morning was a huge understatement. I feel like I was torn in half with how he animalistically thrust himself into me. It was fast and hard I can't even wrap my head around the fact how he did it. On the other hand, I wouldn't say I didn't like it because obviously, I did. I mean if my moan that could rival that was of a porn star doesn't explain it, then I don't know what is.
Just thinking about last night was making me blush like a maniac. It was magical, I didn't know making love with someone would be that awesome.
However, even with the immense pleasure I felt, I won't deny the fact that I was terrified. Not because of the obvious reasons that I was very inexperienced, nor the fact that it was my first time. I mean sure, I was also partly terrified because of those factors, but one major thought was the main reason why I was scared out of my mind. It was because of my past. The traumatic past that I always try to forget and move forward from.
Honestly, I was debating whether I should let Arthur go all the way. I was scared I would suddenly throw a panic attack; well, almost, and end up scaring Arthur in the process and make him question me about it. I know it has been a few years since that incident, and I should've fully moved on by now. But the truth is, it still; up to this very day, haunts me like an unwanted memory stuck in my mind in an eternal loop. I can't seem to get rid of it even with how hard I tried to.
That day will always be embedded in my mind until my last breath. The day that made me feel so vulnerable and helpless.
But I know with time I'll manage to finally manage to do so. But how much time do I need? I spent all those years trying to get my life back together as I also tried to act as if nothing happened. It was something I hid from everyone. Something I tried to avoid to be brought up.
And because of that, it almost affected the relationship I'm slowly starting to grow with the person I'm destined to be with. I was finding it hard to trust someone again. And even though I know Arthur will never hurt me, just the fact that I'm letting him in makes me terrified. I don't want him to be disgusted of me. I don't want him to hate me because of this. I don't want anyone to treat me differently because of my most hidden secret.
So maybe, just maybe, it's time to reveal this secret and release myself from all this emotional burden that monster has caused me.
Maybe then, I will finally find real peace.
Sighing, I closed my eyes as I pushed those thoughts at the back of my mind for the time being. For now, I have to enjoy what I have, especially now that Arthur and I have connected with each other to a whole new level.
Turning my head towards the window, I noticed the sun is now high up in the sky, telling me it's already late in the morning. And here I am, still in the bed, trying not to wince whenever I make one sudden movement. It was uncomfortable to be very honest, but it was all worth it. I didn't know it could be that pleasurable and amazing. Well for one, I was a virgin and I didn't know the real feeling, and two, I was very inexperienced.
But heck, I would love to do it with him over and over again.
Thirsty much? I don't even care.
Well, sorry not sorry but my butthole got super needy when I finally got the taste of 10 inches.
Too many details.
Meanwhile, Arthur was in the kitchen probably cooking something for breakfast for both of us. I didn't notice him getting out of bed because I was deep in sleep.
Finally deciding it's best to get out of bed, I sat up and once again winced at the stinging feeling in my butt.
Damn, he totally abused it last night. But oh well, can't say I didn't enjoy it.
After managing to get up, I made my way to his closet and took a random shirt Arthur owns. I slipped it on my body and walked out of the bedroom while still wincing at every step I make.
Once I made it at the entrance heading towards the kitchen, I stopped and peaked my head to see what my hot and sexy as heck of a boyfriend is doing.
When I saw he was making pancakes, a smile instantly appeared on my face while my stomach rumbled at the sight of food.
Stepping in the kitchen completely, Arthur turned to me with a beaming smile and a loving glint in his eyes.
"Good morning Gorgeous." He greeted as he walked towards me and engulfing me into a hug while leaving a tender kiss on my forehead.
"Good morning." I greeted back, smiling at him softly as I rubbed my eyes out from sleepiness.
He smiled. "Are you hungry? I made pancakes, your favorite." He said making me nod as I eyed the delicious food he was making.
"I am now," I spoke as I made my way towards the stool.
Arthur let out a deep chuckle as he lifted me up and settled me on the stool.
Just as expected, I winced at the sudden movement on my lower half.
Arthur stared at me with concern until he finally realized what I was wincing about and then smirked knowingly.
"Sore?" He asked with a teasing glint in his eyes.
I rolled my eyes at him.
"Don't get too proud now Wolfie," I said making him chuckle and nuzzle my cheek adoringly.
"Well, I am feeling very proud." He said smugly as he gave my temple a kiss.
"Yeah yeah," I said waving him off. "Now feed me," I said as I eyed the pancakes again.
He smirked.
Oh no, the hormones are back, I believe.
"My d*ck? Gladly." He said as he wiggled his eyebrows while making a move of taking his junior from his boxers.
I rolled my eyes again.
"Not your penis, Arthur. I meant food." I said.
If it was possible, Arthur's smirk only widened at my remark.
"Well, milking me dry is still considered feeding so......" He trailed off making me smack him in the arm at his obvious sexual thirst.
"Knock it out, Teddy Bear. I'm honestly hungry." I told him with a pout.
He smiled teasingly.
"I told you, you can feed on this." He pushed, smirking widely at me as he wiggled his brows suggestively. "Come on, I managed to make more 'milk' even after our lovemaking last night." He said as he took his semi-hard c*ck out of his boxers.
I gulped at the sight.
Jesus Christ.
His d*ck looks big even with it not fully erected. Now I'm not surprised why I'm limping around like this.
Holy Pineapples, he surely didn't have mercy on my butthole.
Realizing I was staring at it, I blinked of embarrassment and looked up at Arthur who was still wearing the same smug look with his eyes showing obvious lust.
"I-I meant pancakes, not your b-baby batter factory." I stuttered out which made Arthur bite his bottom lip as he neared his face to mine.
"But isn't my d*ck much tastier than pancakes?" He asked huskily as he inhaled on my neck, making me shudder a response.
"I-I'm still s-sore from last night Arthur," I spoke breathlessly.
Why am I running out of breath when I'm obviously just sitting here?
Damn you Arthur and your sexiness.
"Well, I'm not intending to feed your ass with my cum, baby. I meant your mouth." He said huskily once again as he played with my earlobe using his teeth, making me moan a little louder than what I intended.
Oh lord, I think I just got impregnated by his words it's so embarrassing.
I can't believe he can be this bold sometimes, I feel like he's a whole new person.
I gasped out loud when I felt his explorative hand snaked its way under the large shirt I was wearing. He slowly slid his way up into my hips and gripped me there just enough to have me a moaning mess once again.
Gosh, how is he able to make me feel this good? If it's because of the mate thing then Hallelujah, I am freaking blessed.
"How convenient, under this shirt, you are literally naked." He said as he gave my neck a playful nip, making me whimper in his hold. "Easy access." He added as he lifted me up into his arms with his hands now massaging my still sore entrance.
Jesus Christ, if he does it the second time, I'm sure I will be needing crutches after.
But to hell with it, my butthole doesn't seem to care at all.
Instinctively, my legs wrapped around Arthur as he continued his ministration on my lower region. It was like my body was going against my brain even though it was clearly shouting to give my ass a break from last night.
Damn it, what have I become of myself.
Distracting me out of my thoughts, I felt Arthur's now fully erect c*ck rub into my entrance, which made me moan loudly like a gay porn star.
When Arthur was about to finger me, a loud knock at the door suddenly dragged us out of our lustful state.
Arthur growled, clearly annoyed at the obvious disturbance and pulled away from my neck with a frown on his face. He slowly placed me down on the stool and turned his eyes towards the door.
He growled once again as someone knocked on the door for the third time.
"I f*cking swear, I will bury them alive whoever decided to disturb us." He said staring at the door like it did him wrong.
I rolled my eyes.
"Snap out of it. It may be important." I told him, which he huffed.
When he made a move on heading towards the door, I immediately stopped him.
"Hold on," I said halting him on his feet.
"What is it?" He asked.
I hopped out of the stool and made my way towards him.
I chuckled. "You don't want your baby batter factory dangling out of your boxers like that, now do you?" I said as I casually placed his d*ck in his boxers.
Arthur looked at me amused which made me laugh.
"Firstly, Whoever's at the door would be traumatized to see your junior saying 'hi' to them," I said as I stood on my tippy toes to give his lips a peck. "And secondly, I don't want anyone staring at your d*ck cause obviously, it's not their's to enjoy," I said confidently before snaking my hand inside his boxers and giving it a few pumps.
When I was sure he was once again hard, I took my hand and gave his chest a pat.
"I'll just give them a little insight on how big your gun is, just so they would know how lucky I am," I said proudly as I walked towards the stool and sitting down, but not without wincing like usual. "And don't worry, I'll give you a blowjob once my tummy had the pancakes it's been asking," I added as I took a sip of my apple juice.
When I looked back at Arthur, he was still standing there with a stunned expression on his face. Only when someone knocked on the door he was snapped out of his thoughts and cursed lowly.
Walking out of the kitchen while grumbling, I reached my hand on the counter to get the finished pancakes.
Giggling to myself, I started eating with Arthur's expression playing in my mind.
Well, it was fun giving him a boner while facing someone from his pack. That's the least he deserves for making me one hungry bunny for having such massive d*ck. One taste and I was hooked.
Like literally.
Arthur's POV
Today I decided to officially introduce Ash to the pack. I have been planning to do this for a while now and since it is fitting that today might be the perfect day to introduce him, then I shall have everything ready.
I have talked about this with Ash and he seems okay with the idea. I know he's a bit nervous about it but he didn't let it stop him from making the decision of agreeing with me. I know he was hesitant seeing as he's kind of terrified of huge crowds, but I assured him that it will be fine and that I will be with him all the time.
In the meantime, Ash is outside at the front porch watching the pack pups play around like normal. He said the kids help him relax, so even if I'm still a bit on edge when he's not in my line of sight, I let him. Besides, Connor willy sure be there to keep an eye on him as his only duty.
Right now, I'm in the living room planning with some of the pack members about the event happening this evening. I'm almost done settling everything down and the only thing needed is the food to be served that night. The pack's chefs assured me they have it all sorted out so I trust them with it. Now that the decorations are started being put into place, one thing I need to do is make sure Ash is comfortable enough to go up into the make up stage and face the pack.
Even with him telling me he's completely fine, I know deep down he's still terrified. So as much as possible, I want to ease the stage fright he's feeling and make him least tense than he is.
As I was walking towards the porch to go meet my beautiful mate, I was stopped by Brandon.
"Alpha." He called, halting me on my feet.
I turned around to face him with slightly raised brows.
He smiled before continuing on with what he was going to say.
"I have all the guards and border watchers on stand by for tonight's event. Everything is ready and I made sure to keep a tight security all over our territory." He said with a satisfied smirk.
I nodded also satisfied with his work.
"Good job Brandon. Thanks for having everything settled regarding our security." I said as I gave his shoulder a grateful pat.
He puffed his chest up at the recognition and gave me a smile.
"It's my job Alpha." He said making me smile in return as well.
I gave a curt nod.
"Anyways, I have to get my mate ready for tonight. See you in a bit." I told him as I proceeded on walking towards the front porch.
Once I was out of the door, I spotted him sitting Indian style on the bench with his eyes trained on the kids playing outside on the yard.
He had a soft smile gazing his lips as he cuddle the stitch stuffed toy Jasmine gave him. It makes me think he's starting to grow an addiction to this stitch thing seeing as he almost wouldn't stop telling me he wanted to buy more stuffed toys just like what he have now.
"Hey bunny," I said as I made my presence known as to not startle him. I know better not to pull that kind of sh*t to him because he sure does hate it.
He turned his head around after hearing me and met my eyes.
"Hi." He replied softly before I took him up and settled him into my lap.
"Why don't you go play with the kids? I'm sure they'll be happy to play with you." I said as I stared at his gorgeous face.
He leaned into me as he looked at the kids.
"Maybe soon. I figured it's much better if they know me before I start hanging out with them." He said making me nod and give his rosy cheek a kiss.
"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea."
He smiled. "Maybe tomorrow I'll finally be able to go play with them since I will be introduced to the pack tonight."
"That's a good plan," I responded.
He turned his attention to me with his beautiful orbs shining with the sun's rays.
"How was everything? Do you need any help?" He asked as his fingers started to play with the stubble on my jaw.
I noticed he likes to do that. And honestly, I find it very soothing.
"I have everything ready, bunny. You don't have to worry about it." I told him as I kissed his hand.
He nodded examining my face.
"I like seeing you having stubble on your jaw and chin. It makes you a lot more handsome." He said with a soft smile.
I chuckled. "You like it?"
He nodded as he continued to play on my stubble with his fingers.
"Yeah."
"Do you think I should shave or just trim it then?" I asked.
He tilted his head adorably.
"I say trim it." He said with a big smile.
I pursed my lips. "Okay then. Anything for you."
With that, he giggled before biting his bottom lip.
And since I don't have control over my own body when it comes to my mate, I slammed my lips into him, catching him off guard.
After a few kisses here and there, I was able to convince him to get ready and change some new clothes. Like as expected, he was extremely nervous. But at the same as I did earlier, I soothed his worries down, letting him know that everything will be fine and that he'll do great.
Now, we are in the bedroom, with me fully dressed and ready for the night.
Ash, well, he's pacing around talking a mile a second.
"What if I tripped and landed face first and then everyone will see it? They'll think I'm overly clumsy." He ranted.
I chuckled as I watched him pace back and forth.
"Bunny, I told you, everything will be fine." I tried to assure him.
"What if I stuttered while I introduce myself? Everyone will think I'm stupid." He continued.
I shook my head. "Baby, calm down. As I said, you'll do great."
"What if I blushed real bad and everyone will think I have serious High Blood Pressure?"
I chuckled at his silly thoughts. He's just hyperventilating and overthinking about it.
"Bunny, listen. The pack will love you even if you tripped, even if you stuttered, and even if you blushed. There's nothing about you isn't worth loving for. You are perfect just the way you are."
He stared at me for a while before he blinked.
"But what if I looked incredibly stupid standing up there?" He spoke making me chuckle once more.
I'm not chuckling at him, I'm chuckling at the thoughts his brain produces. It's silly but it's also very adorable. It makes me love my soulmate even deeper.
I stood from the edge of the bed I was sitting at and walked towards Ash before engulfing him into a hug.
"I'm sure you'll be fine. And even if something happens, I'll be right there with you."
He sighed before burying his face into my chest.
"That's the thing, Teddy bear. I feel like something's going to happen. I don't know if it's good or bad, I just know something is coming." He said worriedly.
I rubbed his back in hopes to soothe his raging nerves down.
"And like I said, I will be with you all the time. So you have nothing to worry about." I spoke as buried my face into his neck and inhaled his heavenly scent that is now growing on me. It's like there's no day I could ever survive just by not getting a whiff of his scent.
He sighed before nodding his head and said something, but it was muffled with his face buried in my chest.
I laughed a little at his very adorable antics.
"I'm sorry Bunny, but I didn't catch what you said."
He pulled away and looked up at me with a pout.
"I said your chest is so comfortable." He stated with a faint blush on his cheeks.
I smirked.
"Well, I'm glad. I didn't get myself this toned for nothing, you know." I stated with a wink and flexed my biceps for better effect.
He rolled his eyes.
"And I didn't say that so you can get too cocky." He scolded as he flicked my nose.
I pouted at him.
He laughed before raising his eyebrows at me.
"That won't work on me, Arthur." He said with his arms crossed on his chest.
I sighed. "At least I tried."
He nodded in agreement. "And failed miserably."
"Hey, it's not fair you get me with the puppy dog eyes and pout all the time," I whined as I pulled his body towards me and hid my face on his neck again.
He giggled. "I'm just really good at it that you can't resist."
I smiled into his neck.
"Yeah. You are very irresistible." I said lowly as I nipped on the place where his neck and shoulders meet.
And let's just say, we both got lost in the moment again and did what couples do in bed. And for sure, Ash will be facing the crowd feeling sore.
Can't really blame me though. When you're a half-human half-werewolf, your hormones go crazy tenfold worse than humans do.
What can I say, I'm in fact an animal.
After my mate was introduced to the whole pack, I would say everything went well. Nothing happened just like what Ash was thinking and worrying over.
Anyways, during the ceremony, he actually did great.
He managed to answer all the questions everyone threw at him and I was very proud. Even though I was able to feel his nerves going berserk inside him, he still managed to pull himself off and make a really good impression towards the pack.
And even if someone went against of him being the future Luna, nothing will change. Their opinions don't matter to me when it comes to my mate. All they can do if they're against it, is just suck it up and live with it. And if they can't live with it then they are free to leave the pack any time soon. But thankfully though, everyone seems to be very accepting of him and that's all that matter at the moment.
Right now, everyone is getting along with their fellow pack members. Engaging conversations here and there, talking about whatever that comes in their minds, and just enjoying the night.
Ash, on the other hand, is also deep in conversation with the pack's elder, Ezrah. By the looks of it, she seems very interested in knowing more about my mate with the way she throws question by question towards Ash. And as for Ash, he was taking it all like the pro that he is.
Right where I was standing and watching their interaction, I can see Ash's confidence coming off of him which is a first. He's usually very composed and shy with almost everything, that it's very rare to see him being so outspoken and being confident.
When Ezrah and Ash were done talking, he simply walked his way towards me with a beaming smile.
After he sat down next to me, I turned to him with a 'see I told you' look.
He giggled. "I know, I know. Nothing bad happened and that I was just worrying too much." He said.
"Yup. So just relax and enjoy the rest of the night. Get to know more people and stuff." I encouraged him.
He smiled and nodded.
"I know. And honestly, it's kinda fun."
I beamed at him and kissed his temple.
"Just continue enjoying yourself Bunny, I'll make sure to keep an eye on you."
He chuckled before rubbing his fingers on my stubble once again.
"You don't have to, Teddy bear. Connor is practically watching my every move so you don't have to worry about me or anything. Enjoy the night just like I am." He said as he pecked my lips lovingly.
I smiled before I kissed his lips.
"I'll be fine, Bunny. It's you that is more important." I said.
He sighed, but nonetheless nodded, no longer pushing the subject further.
"Okay." He sighed again. "But anyway, I have to go use the bathroom real quick."
After he stood up, he pecked my lips once more before he left for the bathroom.
I leaned on the seat on the makeup stage and relaxed as I looked around the people enjoying the gathering we prepared.
"Thor!" A very small adorable voice called my name, and I already knew who it came from.
I turned and saw my niece running up towards where I was seated.
"Oh Hi, Princess. Are you enjoying yourself tonight?" I asked as I pulled her up into my lap.
She nodded her head.
"Yup."
I smiled.
"That's good."
She looked around, probably searching for Ash.
"Where Didi?" She asked obviously referring to Ash.
"He went to the bathroom. He'll be back soon." I told her and right there I noticed the bracelet she was holding.
"What do you have there Princess?" I asked as I pointed on the bracelet she was holding.
She beamed upon realizing I was talking about the bracelet.
"Gift for Didi." She said joyfully.
I smiled at her.
"Oh, I'm sure he's gonna love it."
Ashley's POV (Short) {no pun intended}
I didn't think I would be comfortable enough to face all those people.
I thought, I would embarrass and make myself look utterly stupid, but no. It went really great and now Arthur's pack is starting to like me. Well, other than the obvious trio that hates my guts for no reason, everyone was very nice and welcoming.
And to be honest, it felt nice that people actually like me not because they were forced to. They like me because they chose to like me willingly.
They accepted me into the pack and that itself makes me overjoyed.
So now, I'm washing my hands after I used the restroom. Still wearing the same smile that appeared on my face earlier.
"Excuse me, Luna." A voice spoke behind me.
After drying my hand, I turned around and was met with a guy with what I assume as the same height as Connor.
I smiled to the guy before I threw the paper towel in the trash bin.
"Hi. I don't think I have met you just yet." I said nicely.
"Oh how rude of me." He said before extending his hand towards me. "I'm Jordan by the way." He said.
"Ashley Dale or you can just call me Ash or Dale if you want," I replied as we shake hands.
He smiled charmingly.
Oh lord.
If I'm not mated to Arthur I would surely tap that.
Bad thoughts. Bad Ash.
"I'd just go on how everyone calls you I guess, which is Ash." He said still wearing the same charming smile.
God damn it, why are werewolf guys so hot? Not to mention they have massive di.......... diet, massive diet. They eat a lot so they have massive diet.
Holy Pineapples, I need Jesus.
"That's fine," I responded.
"But anyway, I'm just here to tell you Arthur have something special prepared for you." He said after pulling his hand away.
My eyebrows perked at that.
"He does?" I asked.
He nodded with a smile.
"Yes. And he has told me to escort you there." He stated, opening the door towards the hallway in the process.
What a gentleman.
"Okay? Do you for some reason have any idea what this special thingy he has prepared for me?" I asked being hopeful he'd tell me.
He chuckled.
"I'm sorry Luna, but I don't. And even if I do, I won't tell you just to not spoil it for the Alpha." He said making me pout.
"Okay then."
He smiled at me.
"Shall we go?" He asked.
"Yeah give me one second." I turned to the mirror and inspected my reflection for a brief moment before turning back to Jordan and smiled. "Okay, I'm ready."
He motioned to the door he has kept open and I gladly walked out.
Okay, whoever is this guy's mate surely is lucky. He's so damn nice and is such a gentleman.
One advice to the lucky girl he's mated to, get yourself pregnant right away. This guys surely have some good genes. Make a dozen babies and bless the world with good looking angels.
Just saying.
As Jordan continued to escort me, we both kept a conversation floating around.
And there I found out he still haven't found his mate yet, which is surprising. But then I didn't try to push the subject further just in case it's way too personal.
As he led me outside the pack house and just at the edge of the forest, he turned to me with a smile.
"You may want to use this." He said as he showed me a spray bottle.
I raised a brow at the 'victoria's secret perfume' bottle in his hand.
Upon sensing my confusion, he added. "Oh, it's actually not a perfume. It's just the bottle I used that I forgot to take the old label out. But anyway, It's a mosquito repellent. I figured since we're going to enter the forest, I'm going to assume there's going to be a lot of bugs in there. So just to be safe and to save myself from the Alpha's wrath when he saw some mosquito bites on you, then might as well give you some repellents." He said making me nod understandingly.
"Makes sense." I said before taking the cover off and spraying my arms and neck with it.
"That's odd," I spoke as I took a whiff at the bottle.
"What is it?" Jordan asked curiously.
"It doesn't smell anything which is weird if it's a repellent," I commented.
"Oh, that." He paused. "I made it myself from different kinds of odorless ingredients. You know, to stay natural and organic." He explained.
"Hmm, that makes sense again," I commented. "But damn, you're creative." I teased making him laugh.
He shrugged as I handed the bottle back to him.
"Nah, I learned how to do it from my parents. So I say they're the ones that are creative."
I chuckled. "I guess."
And with that, we entered the forest with a flashlight in Jordan's hand illuminating our path.
I looked around as I tried to see if there's anything that could at least give me clue what this special surprise is all about, but to my dismay, I found none.
As we walked further into the forest, the wind started to become chillier than normal so I hugged myself.
Jordan turned to me upon seeing my current situation.
"Crap, maybe I should have had a jacket with me before I led you here." He said before taking his flannels of and placing it around me to somehow keep the cold out.
I smiled up at him, grateful at the gesture.
"It's fine Jordan. Though I just wanna ask if it's still far?"
He shook his head.
"Not too far, Luna. Just a couple more minutes of walking and we'll be there." He said as he proceeded on walking ahead. I followed close behind him.
After two minutes of walking, he stopped on his feet again.
"Okay, so I have to give something to you now that we're almost there." He said as he fetched something from his pocket.
Taking that as my chance to look around, I did so. I observed my surroundings just in case I'll catch sight of Arthur somewhere.
But what I didn't expect was a cloth slamming into my face as someone had my whole body totally restrained. The cloth smelled something I wasn't familiar of and it's making me dizzy. I tried to fight the person who had me locked into their body but to no avail. The more I try to break loose, the more I get forced to inhale the scent the cloth is having. I tried to scream but it was muffled by the cloth. I tried to kick, punch, and have myself free but it seemed impossible.
Soon, black spots started to invade my line of sight until it multiplied. I began to panic even more after I realized I was about to go unconscious. But the person was just too strong compared to me that I was no longer able to fight for myself. Slowly, the black spots completely engulfed my sight until I was left in complete and utter darkness.
Arthur's POV
I don't know what's taking him so long in there but it's already over 15 minutes.
Was he taking a sh*t or something? I wouldn't know.
"Why Didi not here yet?" Jasmine asked.
I sighed with a shake of my head.
"I don't know Princess. Maybe he's pooping or something." I joked just to keep myself stay still.
I'm sure he's fine.
And if something is wrong, I'll feel it.
"Eww. Gross." Jasmine replied as she scrunched her nose up in disgust.
I chuckled.
"It's not like you don't poop yourself too." I teased.
"Yes, I poop. But I wear diapers and Didi don't." She said making me laugh.
It would be funny seeing Ash wearing diapers.
"Alpha." I voice disturbed me from my happy state.
I turned around and saw Connor standing at the foot of the stairs.
"Is Ashley there with you?" He asked even before I could speak and question him what it was.
I furrowed my brows.
"No, he went to the bathroom," I said keeping myself cool even with the fact that the sight of Connor's horrified face makes me scared in the gut.
"I was just there." He said as fear slowly crept its way into me.
I placed Jasmine down and called Nate to come get her.
"What do you mean he's not there?"
"He's not in there, and his scent led me outside at the edge of the forest." He said as panic erupted inside me.
"Chandler!" I called making him turn himself towards me, obviously startled. "Secure the borders, Ash is missing. Again!" I commanded in which he abides by running towards the guards and into the forest.
Brandon came running to me looking puzzled and confused.
"Alpha, what's going on?" He asked.
"Build a search party and conduct a thorough inspection inside and outside the pack house. Ash is missing again." I commanded.
"Yes, Alpha." He said before he was off.
I turned to Connor. "Take me where you smelt his scent."
He nodded and took off into a run.
Not long after, we stopped at the edge of the forest. I inhaled and I immediately smelt the familiar scent of my mate. I walked towards the forest and suddenly, his scent vanished.
"His scent ends here Alpha. And I can't feel his emotions at all. I can't feel him." He said.
I grabbed a handful of my hair and tug it in frustration.
"F*ck, so do I," I said before walking towards the forest with Connor in tow.
When I noticed something on the ground, I halted.
"Tracks." I breathed out after seeing a shoe imprints.
Connor looked further towards us.
"Ash is not alone when he was here." He said making me perk up.
He turned to me.
"I can see another pair of shoes besides Ash." He said and I hurriedly walked towards him and inspected what he saw.
There was, in fact, another pair of shoes other than my mate's that is small. This one, however, is much bigger which I only assume belongs to a guy.
I placed a finger on the imprints.
"It's still fresh. They may be not too far from here." I said as I proceeded on walking and following the tracks.
I turned to Connor.
"Shift." I commanded. "It'll be easier for us to follow the tracks if we're in wolf form."
With that, he agreed and shifted. And so I did the same.
Once I let Zion out and take control, we continued on the mission as we followed the tracks.
"F*ck, why can't I smell him?" Zion questioned in terror.
"I don't know." Is all I can say before someone called us.
"Alpha." Connor spoke through the mind link.
I jogged towards him.
"There's a messy bunch of shoe imprints in here." He stated.
And upon realizing what could that mean, my blood instantly drained out of my system and rage made their welcome.
Someone took my mate.
Someone DARED to take my mate away from me?
I will show them no mercy if they as much as touch a hair on him. I swear to the gods I will rip them to shreds.
"Alpha," Connor called. "There's another trail of shoe imprints heading towards the northern border." He said.
"Brandon, what is your position right now?" I asked.
"I'm northeast Alpha, almost at the northern border station." He replied.
"Connor and I found some tracks heading to the north. Conduct some inspection if you can find anything. We'll be there shortly." I said.
"Yes Alpha." And with that, we were once again off into a sprint.
Upon our arrival, Brandon immediately meet up with us.
I shifted back and didn't even bother wearing something.
"5 boarder guards are dead Alpha." He said as some of the warriors took the bodies out of the station one by one.
I gritted my teeth in anger.
"How come we didn't get any warning?" Connor asked.
"They attacked in surprise I suppose." He replied.
"Why are those dead bodies intact if they were attacked?" Connor questioned once again.
"They were shot, in the head," Brandon said in response, catching Connor and I off guard.
"What?" I boomed.
"They were shot Alpha." He said. "Whoever these people who trespassed our lands and took your mate is heavily armed."
"And they must have used a silencer that's why we didn't hear any gunshot." I voiced my thoughts.
Brandon nodded. "That's what I assumed too, Alpha."
I growled in pure anger.
"Search the outer lands for any signs and clues. We will not stop until I have my mate back." I roared as I shifted to my wolf form once again.
This time, rage driven and ready to taste some serious blood.
Whoever took my mate, I'll make sure to give you a slow death as I take your intestines off your stomach and leave your f*cking body to rot as wild animals eat your carcass out until not even a single bone remains.
