“Alpha Caleb!” Corrine shouted angrily, “Let go of my daughter this moment!” Ashleigh pulled back, but Caleb did not let her go. “It’s not what you think!” Ashleigh shouted, trying again to pull away from Caleb. She shifted her attention to his face when he would not let go. Caleb’s eyes stared back at her, and she felt as though she could read his thoughts. ‘I won’t let you run anymore.’ Ashleigh felt a twinge in her heart as she held back the laugh that threatened to come…

Ashleigh felt as though the world had stopped spinning, and the oxygen had been violently sucked from the room. Rejection. The thought had never even occurred to her. Not once. “W..what?” she asked, her voice shaking. Caleb was right. It would solve everything. Then, all she had to do was let him go. To tell the Goddess that she rejected Caleb as her mate. ‘And choose Granger as my one true mate…’ the thought left a hollow feeling in her, which was quickly filled with guilt. “Why drag it…
-
A soft, innocent touch, a comforting gesture. Yet, Ashleigh’s body reacted with an entirely different thought in mind. The warmth from Caleb’s hand was enough to set her ablaze. She closed her eyes and turned into his hand, feeling the rough skin of his palm against her soft cheek. A gentle smile spread across his lips. “I’m here,” he whispered. ‘I’m here with you, Ashleigh.’ Caleb’s voice called out to her from the hated dream. Ashleigh gasped and pulled away from him, drawing her…

When Ashleigh demanded that Caleb leave her with Granger, he had listened only because he didn’t want to add to her burden. But he wasn’t willing to leave them alone, not after what he had seen. He walked away until he could hear their voices but not their words, shifting to make it easier for him to move unseen. Caleb stayed close, listening to her heartbeat as she argued, and then left Granger. He planned to leave her alone when she was safely away from that bastard, but he found himself unable to…

Ashleigh took deep breaths, but it didn’t matter, her chest was too heavy, and she didn’t have the strength to lift it. Her tiny fist hit her chest, desperate to make it work properly. Her throat, shoulders, every part of her ached. She slumped down, dropping her elbows to the soft snow below her. Her shoulders heaved with desperate sobs. Everything felt wrong. The sound of footsteps drew her attention. She looked up; Granger stared down at her from five feet away. Then, he took another step towards…

After his argument with Alpha Wyatt, Caleb had needed to cool off. So he went for a run in the woods. He was headed back to the training grounds when an uneasiness came over him. He felt panicked, scared, a terrible sense of foreboding. He didn’t know what was happening. There was no one around him, no danger. But then he felt Ashleigh’s presence. He recognized her heartbeat. It was pounding intensely, quickly, in his head. It called him, it screamed for him. Caleb followed it, followed her. Then,…

Her heart was racing. Ashleigh felt the pleasure moving over her body. Her skin tingled and burned everywhere he touched and kissed her. His hands began to roam over her hips, his fingertips slowly moving under the hem of her shirt. “Granger…” she called out between thick breaths; her head was clearing slowly. She brought her hands to his shoulders and gently pushed at him. “Come on, we need to stop…ah… before….” “Why…?” Granger asked, catching her earlobe between his teeth softly…
-
They held hands and walked close as Granger praised Ashleigh for how understanding she had been. She smiled and listened. Though she couldn’t help but feel like nothing had truly been resolved. Granger had apologized. He had tried to explain. Yet, when she thought for more than a moment about what had been said, she felt uneasy. Ashleigh had tried, several times, to ask a question about his reasoning. She had tried to clarify what he had told her previously to what she knew now. Each time Granger would…

‘Where is she?!’ he screamed in his mind. “Have you seen Ashleigh?” he asked one of the young wolves leaving the training grounds. “No, sorry,” the boy replied as he walked past. He smiled and gave his thanks. A slow-burning rage building inside of him. ‘Is she with him?’ he wondered. “Granger!” her voice called to him, sending a swell of relief over him. He turned to look toward her. A charming smile was already displayed proudly on his face. “Ash! I have been looking…

Ashleigh struggled over the events of the past several days. Time was jumbled together in overlapping images and disconnected memories. Each moment entangled with another until she could hardly tell them apart. What was real? What had she imagined? Bell had told her repeatedly that the sickness had altered her moods, memories, even her reasoning. What she did or said while it was happening wasn’t her fault. Yet, the things Ashleigh could remember concerned her. There was an image of Galen on the…
