“Ashlyn, what did you hear?” I asked her and she glared at me.
“Did you know about Derek?” She growled.
“It wasn’t my idea?” I tried to explain.
“Get the fuck away from me! I fucken trusted you!” She screamed at me and I decided that the best thing to do was not to anger her further. I moved back to stand with my brother.
When Ashlyn and my father were talking, I opened a portal into our living area to find the guys, minus Derek, sitting around talking. I motioned them to walk through the portal to us. They all stepped through, and the portal closed.
My father explained Ashlyn was the first hybrid, a wolf/witch. And that everyone was just trying to protect her. And this explained so much.
“That’s why she can Dream Walk?” I asked my father, and he nodded.
It explains why Ashlyn is so powerful, and why she can do things that only witches can do. I’ve always thought of her as my sister, and she really was.
It was hard to watch my best friend and sister fall apart. The amount of hurt and pain that she must be in was breaking my heart. She didn’t deserve any of this.
When Mason could finally grab her, I spelled her to sleep. It was hard to hear her begging for the pain to stop, for Mason to help her.
Mason scooped her up and headed towards the council building. I turned my attention to my father.
“I’m not sure what you were doing, but clearly it wasn’t to help her. She was right. You abandoned her after her pack’s death, and it wasn’t because you were protecting her.”
Taking Control
Ashlyn
I woke with a start, sitting up, I looked around. I didn’t recognize the room I was in. When I tossed the blanket off, I found someone had dressed me in one of Mason’s shirts. As much as I hated them, their scents still comforted me. Which pissed me off more because I don’t need them.
I found my bag on the couch and got dressed. Finding someone had packed me a pair of black leggings, and then I just pulled a hoodie over my head. I didn’t care what I looked like.
When I went to leave the room, I could hear people talking on the other side of the door. I stood there quietly and listened.
“Mason, how is she?” Liam asked him.
“She’s sleeping.” Mason told him.
“And Derek?” Sage asked.
“He’s up and he wants to talk to her. But I don’t think that’s a good idea right now. You guys saw her last night. She was ready to walk away from everything. She finally broke, and I don’t know what’s going to happen,” Mason answered.
“Kyle informed me he has arrested Chantel, and she is no longer pregnant.” Matt said. Just hearing her name made my heart stop. I hated her and him for the agonizing pain they caused me.
I decided I’d heard enough. As I couldn’t hear anymore about Derek’s mate or child or even children. I didn’t even know him. He could have multiple babies and mates.
I walked out of the bedroom to them all, staring in my direction. Mason got up from his seat and gave me a hug, but I didn’t hug him back. He pulled away and was now holding my shoulders.
“How are you feeling?” He asked me.
“Fine.” I said.
“I made coffee and muffins.” Matt called out to me.
“No, thanks.” I told him. Moving around Mason, I walked to the door to leave. I needed to get out of here.
“Baby, where are you going?” Mason called out behind me. I turned around to look at him before I walked out.
“Nowhere.” Before I left, I closed the door behind me. I wasn’t actually going nowhere. I was heading to the library to find books on how to use my witch magic. I needed to open a portal so I could get into Emerald Lake and finish this.
The library was empty, and I was thankful for that. I didn’t want to be around anyone right now, maybe even ever. I was done with people and all the bullshit.
I found some books on magic and spells and started a fire in the fireplace. I curled up on the chair beside the fire and started reading. Hopefully, I’ll be able to use my magic to its full potential.
I was about halfway through my second book when Mason entered the library with a tray. He set it down on the desk and then took a seat on the couch beside the chair.
“Thought I’d find you here. Hungry?” He asked.
“I’m fine.” I told him, continuing to read through my book. He leaned over, placing his hand on my thigh.
“Baby, please talk to me?” He sighed.
“Mason, there is nothing to talk about.” I told him, still looking at my book.
“Can you at least hear me out?” He pleaded.
“Why, so you can continue to lie to me?” I said, annoyed.
“Baby, I know you’re hurting.” He told me softly, but I have had enough of this.
“Hurting? You think I’m just hurting? My entire existence is a complete lie! My own father didn’t even want me. I was just a mistake. My existence was a fucken mistake.” I yelled at him while slamming my book closed.
“Baby, please don’t say that? I need you.”
“You wouldn’t be saying that if I had made different choices in my life,” I said, shaking my head.
“What different choices? I’d love you no matter what.” He said, rubbing my thigh.
“If I slept with Ian and got pregnant, you never would have wanted me. You or Derek wouldn’t have wanted to be with someone with a child with someone else.” I told him, looking him dead in the eyes.
“Baby, you don’t know that?”
“I know that and you both just expect me to forgive you for everything that you’ve done. And I have no one! I didn’t know that witches could get pregnant anytime. I’m a freak, a mistake that no one wanted. My own family didn’t want me. Just fucken leave.” I told him.
“Baby, please?”
“Just leave. I’m done.” After opening my book, I started reading again. I needed to figure out how to get the fuck out of here. He stood up, leaning down as he kissed my forehead.
“I’ll be in the dining room if you need me. I love you.” He mumbled against my forehead. And then he left the library. That should have made me cry. His sadness should have affected me. But I had no more tears to cry or fucks to give. I can’t wait to get this over with and get the fuck out of here.
I was reading through another book when Nathan entered the library. He sat down where Mason sat earlier and was staring at the book I was reading.
“Trying to figure out how to use your magic?” He asked me.
“Yep,” I answered.
“I could help you, if you’d like?” He asked, and I stopped reading, looking up at him.
