When they got inside, they decided to eat some dinner. Of course, Alex called to get some Chinese food delivered because neither of them wanted to cook and they were both craving Chinese food. As they waited for the delivery guy to show up, they were cuddling together on the sofa watching some show about special effects makeup, which Ash thought was very interesting. Alex told Ash that Face-Off was one of his favorite shows, and if it was Alex's favorite, then Ash for sure wanted to watch it. When the episode ended, Ash pouted, saying that the episode went by too fast and he wanted to watch more because he was really into the show. It made Alex laugh and kiss his omega's cheek before opening up On Demand and finding the next episode of Faceoff. Halfway through the next episode, the doorbell rang, and Alex untangled himself from his mate to get the food. When he came back inside, he saw Ash leaning his head back on the couch, almost asleep. As Alex finally got a good look at him, he sa
Ash was sitting on the couch as Alex walked over to the door to let his friends in. They talked about how if Boss was still acting the way he was towards Ash, Alex would have a chat with him because he didn't want his omega to feel like he didn't belong. When he opened the door, he saw Jace, Jon, and Boss standing on his doorstep. That wasn't all. Ohm, Kara, Jessica, and Simon were all standing behind Alex's friends. Alex sighed and motioned for them all to come inside. When Ash saw his siblings, he got up right away, walked straight towards them, and gave them a hug. He heard Alex growl slightly, causing Ash to roll his eyes. "What are you doing here?" Ash asked his siblings and their friends. "We wanted to see you, Ash; we haven't seen you in a while," Kara said, wrapping her arms around his brother once more. "How did you even find this place?" Ash asked. "Well, for one, we had Simon track your phone," Ohm said, speaking up. Ash looked at Simon and glared. Ohm laughed and shook
When Ash woke up, he was feeling groggy and was trying to get his vision to focus. When his vision did clear, he looked around and saw he was in some sort of basement. He began to stand when he realized he was tied down to a chair. His hands were tied behind him, and his legs were tied to the chair. The chair itself was bolted to the floor, and the ropes that were tying his hands and legs to the chair were coated in wolfsbane, which made the omega very weak and was slightly burning his skin. He was also very cold and shivering from there being no heat down in the basement. As he felt the cold hit his chest, he realized his shirt was missing, but thankfully he still had his pants on. Ash groaned when he tried to pull his arms free, but the rope only dug deeper into his skin, causing him more pain. He closed his eyes, knowing there was no way out, and tried to use his werewolf hearing to see if he could hear any voices. But of course he couldn't hear anything, and he sensed that the roo
When Jessica arrived, Alex carried Ash into the van, and when he got into the back and sat down, he placed Ash in his lap and wrapped his arms around the omega. It's all happened because of him; if he had just killed Monika years ago and killed that Seth on a mating day or in the bar, it would never have happened. As an Alpha, it's his duty to protect his omega and make sure no one ever hurts his precious omega. But they take his Ash in front of his eyes, and he can't do anything. But now he will make sure to set a guard around his mate; he has to be more careful. His omega is precious, and people these days are always trying to snatch each other's precious things. Ash was whimpering, but he wasn't moving any more besides his body involuntarily shaking. He was staring at nothing, which made everyone nervous. Alex could feel how hot Ash's skin was and that Ash's body was drenched in sweat. Alex combed Ash's sweaty hair with his fingers, and when he did, he heard Ash whimper once m
Alex watched his beautiful omega fall into a deep slumber. He kissed his lover's temple and pulled the covers up over Ash's shoulders. He then traced a finger down Ash's cheek and along his jaw bone. He closed his eyes. He hated seeing Ash like that. He never wanted anything bad to happen to Ash, and he felt like he had failed him. Was he a bad alpha? He didn't really know. However, he couldn't think about that at the moment. He knew that Ash was now safe, and now he had to go have a little chat with Boss. When he walked out of his room, gently closing the door behind him, he walked towards his living room to find everyone in there. Kara was leaning up against Simon, fast asleep, with Ohm on the other side holding his sister's hand. Jessica was right next to him with his other arm wrapped around her. Jace, Jon, and Boss were all sitting on the other couch. Once they saw Alex, they gently woke Kara up. "Ash is just fine. He is sleeping right now. He will need another day to rest from
When Alex woke up, it was due to Ash whimpering and slightly thrashing around in the bed. Alex looked to see if Ash was awake, but he wasn't, and Alex knew he was having a nightmare. Alex sat up straight away and pulled Ash into his arms, rocking him back and forth while saying Ash's name over and over again. Ash soon woke up, and when he did, he had tears running down his face. "Oh Bunny, baby. It's okay. You're safe. I got you, darling." Alex whispered. Ash looked up at Alex and then laid his head down on the alpha's shoulder, wiping away his tears. "I'm sorry." "What are you sorry for, baby?" "For waking you up," Ash whispered. He really doesn't want to disturb his Alpha, but he can't control his nightmares. Alex sighed and shook his head. He knows very well what his bunny is thinking. "No, darling. You don't have to be sorry for that. I'm glad I woke up. Do you want to talk about it, sweetheart?" "I... I was back in that room. There were hands everywhere. I'm so scared, Alex.
When Alex came home, he knew something was wrong in an instant. He could sense his friend's fear and nervousness. He could smell the salt in Ash's tears, and he felt himself growling. His mate was crying, and he wasn't there to comfort his love. But what happened? Is someone hurting Ash? Is someone talking to him rudely? He thanked God that his meeting was over quickly, so he could come back to his mate quickly. Alex ran into his bedroom to see Kara leaning up against the bathroom door with tears in her own eyes as she banged on the door and begged Ash to let her in. Alex ran over and leaned his forehead against the door. "What happened?" He goes to Kara, who is a crying mess. "Alex, I don't know, he just... please tell him to open the door, Alex, I am so scared," She said while trembling. Alex nods his head and clamps himself down first. "Baby, it's Alex. Can you let me in, sweetheart?" Silence They didn't hear anything. "Bunny, please, open the door. I am scared, bunny, ple
"Sammy?""Hi. Can I come in?" Sammy asked as her clothes and hair were drenched from the rain.Alex furrowed his brows but nodded and moved aside. She smiled softly and walked inside."Wait here. I'll go get you a towel."Sammy nodded and waited as she saw Alex leave and come back with a soft blue towel. He handed it to her, and she wrapped it around her wet clothes."Why are you here?" Alex asked.It's been 5 years since they saw each other, and she is here now by herself."I had to see you, Alex. I missed you. And things aren't so good right now. Alex, my mom...she died a month ago, and I just cried.Alex quickly gathered her in his arms. Sure, she was crazy, but she wasn't so bad. There were good qualities in her, and Alex still cared about her. Not in a romantic way, not anymore, but he would always care for her. They did have some good times, and she was there for him back when things weren't great for him either."I'm so sorry, Sammy," Alex whispered. "How did it happen?""Hunter
