D: why did she go there?
Me: she’s looking for a book, according to my father. I haven’t spoken to her.
D: She didn’t take James with her, did she?
Me: No, he’s with Sage.
D: okay, good. I think my father may be right. Everything has changed with us. Now l just had to figure out how to get us back to how we were before.
Me: Liam are you with Ashlyn?
Liam: Yes, she wanted to go to the council building. James is with Sage back at home. And we took half the warriors with us and left the other half at home.
Me: Okay, just keep her safe. That place isn’t safe to be wandering around in.
Liam: Already on it.
I went back to work, thinking about what I could do to help strengthen our relationship. I know I marked them both because l love them. And I felt the bond now. I can feel that she is okay, maybe upset. I can’t place the emotion. Derek, on the other hand, is angry. I don’t know if he was angry with himself or with Ashlyn. Both of us should have skipped work and just been there with her and James. We are stuck in this routine of not having her and we need to break it.
I love her, and I don’t ever want her to question my love for her. The first moment l laid eyes on her, I could have marked her. I knew I wanted her, with or without the mate bond. So why is this so hard? I prayed every day that she would wake up and now that she is, I’m here at work doing whatever the fvck this is.
“Dad, I’m going home,” I told him before I stood up and left, without saying another word. I can just wait with James until his momma comes home. I was over being away from her. All four of us need to spend time together. We are a family and a part of that family has been gone, but now that they are back, we need to work through everything. Our family was worth fighting for.
l entered the house, finding Sage playing with James on the floor in the living room. He let out a squeal as soon as he saw me, making me smile. I wandered over to him and picked him up, k!ssing his cheek.
“We didn’t expect you home,” Sage said.
“I know, but I just needed to be home.” I told her and she nodded.
“Ashlyn told me what happened this morning.” Sage told me, sitting on the couch.
“And?” asked her. I knew she had more to say. One thing I knew about Sage was that she would always speak her mind, no matter how honest.
“Her soul is broken. That’s why you feel so disconnected from her right now,” she said.
“I don’t understand. How is she broken?” I asked her, confused.
“You and Thor are two sides of the same coin. You both share a soul. And now that Ashlyn doesn’t have Tundra, she is broken.” My stomach was in knots from the guilt I was feeling about what happened today.
“Also, she talked to lan today. I don’t know why you and Derek were so worried about him and Ashlyn? She just wanted her friend to be happy, and you both twisted it into something that it wasn’t.” She stated.
“He loves her.” I defended.
“Being in love and loving someone are different. You can love someone without being in love with them. He was her safety net. And you both twisted it and made her feel guilty about being happy. She clearly loves both of you. Ashlyn is hurting and when you both walked away from her, you pulled away your safety net.” She explained.
“Why can everyone see it but me and Derek?” asked her, confused. Brandon, my father and now Sage. And I’m sure Liam noticed it as well.
“Because both of you are resentful of the decision she made. Would you have left Brandon or Liam behind?” She asked me and I sighed.
“No,” I whispered.
“Even if you knew you might die, leaving behind your mates and son? Would you just say fvck it and leave them behind?” she pushed her point.
“No” I told her.
“Then stop blaming her. She could have stayed dead, but she came back, broken, for you three. Her being broken was worth it as long as she had you three. So both of you need to make this right before something happens that you can’t take back.” She said, and I nodded.
My phone rung in my pocket and l juggled James around so I could pull my phone out of my pocket. I noticed it was Liam before l answered.
“Mason, we need you here. It’s Ashlyn.”
Ashlyn
“Ashlyn?” lan’s voice rang through the phone.
“Hi lan.”
“I have to be dreaming,” he exclaimed.
“lan, you aren’t dreaming. Yesterday, I woke up. I just didn’t have a phone, so I had to find my old one.” I told him.
“How are you feeling? Are you okay?” lan asked, worried.
“I’m okay, I guess. Things are tense here, but I have James,” I told him.
“Ashlyn, what happened? Where are Mason and Derek?”
“l just don’t want to talk about it. I heard you found your mate.” lan let out a sigh.
“I did.”
“And? I want to hear all about her.” I told him.
“You do?” He asked me, confused.
“lan, of course, I do. I just want you to be happy. Are you happy?”
“I’m trying to be.”
“lan, does she make you happy?”
“She does, but you.” I interrupted him before he could finish.
“lan, I want you to be happy. There are no buts. And you should want to be happy. I’m okay. You don’t need to worry about me. Just be happy with your mate. And would love to meet her, if she’s okay with it?”
“I’ll be happy if you tell me what’s wrong?” he said, and I sighed.
“It’s nothing, lan,” I told him.
“Then why does it sound like you are about to cry?”
“I don’t have Tundra anymore,” I whispered.
“Tundra’s gone?” lan exclaimed.
“Yeah,”
“Ashlyn, I’m so sorry. What happened?”
“It was the terms for me coming back.”
“Where are you? Should I come see you?” lan rushed out.
“It’s okay, lan. It’s just something I need to come to terms with.”
“Where are your mates?”
“At work, I think. I don’t actually know.”
“Ashlyn, what happened? Please tell me?”
“Things are just different,” I told him.
“What’s different? And why are they not there with you?” lan asked me.
