Prince Mason

We took Ashlyn home from the hospital, and she immediately went to her room. I couldn’t blame her.

Everything her aunt told her was fvcked up. I’ve known Ashlyn for 3 days and I can already tell you she would never sleep with someone to gain a title.

She rejected her fake Alpha mate. Most girls I knew wouldn’t care what the Alpha did, as long as she became Luna. Ashlyn seems to really care about the people in her life. I think she cares a little too much for that Alpha lan, though.

“So.” Liam drew out the o. “You and Ashlyn, huh?”

He asked me. We were all sitting in the living room. I didn’t know how to answer that question because I haven’t been able to talk to her. And her aunt didn’t seem to be a fan of mine, or maybe it was a powerful man.

“I haven’t spoken to her about it yet.” I shrugged.

“So, what did you guys talk about after she woke up?” Brandon questioned.

“Ashlyn and Alpha lan were in a love potion. Their bond wasn’t real. I guess when I k!ssed her, it forced the magic to the surface and then she could break the spell.” I explained. And they both looked at me, stunned.

“What the fvck does that mean?” Liam exclaimed.

“It means that Ashlyn is my mate, but there’s magic blocking some of the bond. I can feel the sparks, but Thor can’t claim her.” I told them, going further into details about what I knew.

“Why can’t you claim her?” Brandon asked. I looked at Liam and he was still trying to process everything.

“Thor says that when he tries to come forward to claim her wolf, Tundra, he’s met with an invisible wall.” I confessed. Ashlyn was so upset that I knew I couldn’t sleep. I was going to go see her when Brandon’s phone rang.

“Hello?” He answered. I got up to go check on Ashlyn. I found her asleep in her bed. She looked so peaceful, and I didn’t want to wake her up. Honestly, I wanted to crawl into bed with her. I sat on the edge of the bed beside her and she rolled into me in her sleep.

She was chasing my scent, even in her sleep. Mates slept better together, and she was seeking the security my scent provides her.

I was enjoying my moment with Ashlyn until Brandon was in my head. Apparently, Donny was the one who called, and he was demanding to see Ashlyn.

Brandon went down to bring him up here. Sighing, I shook Ashlyn’s shoulder to wake her up gently.

“Go away, Mason.” She groaned.

“I’m sorry, but Donny is demanding to see you. He’s on his way up.” I murmured. I knew she was upset.

“Fine.” She whined. She climbed off the bed and walked into her walk-in to change. Il sat on her bed to wait for her. Even when she is grumpy and annoyed, she’s still the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. And she was ours. I can’t wait to meet her wolf. I was smiling when she came out of the closet. She looked surprised to see me still here, waiting. She said nothing, and we walked out of her room to meet Donny in the living room.

He immediately stood up and gave her a hug.

Ashlyn

I wasn’t happy about getting out of bed to see Donny, but I knew how persistent he was. When I walked into the living room, he immediately wrapped me in a hug. I welcomed the comfort. I was feeling alone.

Brandon and Liam were sitting on a couch, and Mason took the chair. I sat with Donny on the other couch.

Donny passed me a coffee, and I was so thankful that he remembered my slight coffee addiction. The warm beverage definitely helped soothe me.

“Thank you for the coffee.” I smiled into my cup.

“Ashlyn, are you okay? What happened?” He asked, concerned. My coffee was in my lap. I sat down with my body turned towards him with my elbow on the top of the couch. I rested my head in my hand.

“I’m fine, Donny. And there’s a lot to explain. But can l ask you a question?” I asked him.

“Buttercup, I hope you know you can tell me anything. You’ll receive no judgement from me. Ask away.” he said.

“ls there a rumor going around the pack about me sleeping with the Alpha?” I asked him, my stomach in knots. He looked at me, shocked. I know he wasn’t expecting that question.

“You mean Alpha lan?” He raised an eyebrow at

“No, the current Alpha.” I corrected him and he shifted uncomfortably on the couch. He sighed.

“Yeah, I heard the rumors. But I never thought they were true.” He quickly added. “What made you ask about rumors?” He asked. I pinched the bridge of my nose, hoping to stop the tears.

“Awe, buttercup. Don’t cry. What happened?” He asked, rubbing my leg to comfort me.

“My aunt came to the hospital before they released me. She confronted me, saying I was sleeping my way to the top, and that I needed to be more responsible. She didn’t even let me explain what happened. She just assumed s*x, drugs, and alcohol.” I explained through deep breaths, as I was trying really hard not to cry.

“That doesn’t sound like Grace.” He said, confused.

“We were all there,” Liam told him.

Donny took my face in his hand so that I was looking at him.

“Buttercup, everyone who knows you doesn’t believe any of those rumors. I know you were just trying to better an awful situation when the Luna was killed. You wanted to be there for the people you care about. People twist things because they are jealous. I’m not sure what Grace was going on about, but me and the guys know you would never do that.

You wouldn’t even use cheat codes in our games and that was a victimless crime.” He laughed. “You have always been like a little sister to us.

And when you are ready to talk about what happened, I’m always here for you, buttercup.” I was full-on sobbing now. He wrapped me in his arms and let me cry into his chest.

“I’ll talk to Grace and Brad, okay?” He told me and I nodded into his chest. When I finally could calm down my sobs, I pulled away from him.

“Are you okay now, buttercup?” He asked, and I nodded.

“Okay, but I want you to call me tomorrow.” I nodded and hugged him again.

“Thank you.” I whispered to him. I don’t think he’ll ever understand the power of his words. My aunt’s words hurt because I thought she would never believe those lies about me. And I thought if she believed them, then everyone would.

He had to run, so we said goodbye, and he left. I’d promised to call him tomorrow. And then it was just me and the guys. I was resting my head on my arm on the back of the couch. I had my eyes closed, and I was focusing on my breathing.

“Ashlyn? Are you hungry?” Brandon asked. I kind of spaced out there. I forgot where I was for a moment.

“Yes, what are you guys thinking?” l asked him, but I didn’t move.

“What do you want, beautiful?” Liam asked me.

“Something unhealthy and delicious,” I mumbled.

And they all chuckled. I could hear them moving around and the elevator dinged, but I was too lost in my head. I felt so overwhelmed that the best thing for me to do was to think of nothing.

I didn’t realize I was alone with Mason until he touched my arm, causing me to jump. He had moved from the chair to beside me on the couch. He leaned back on the couch and rested his head so that we were eye level when he turned his head to look at me.

“Are you okay?” He asked me, concerned. I nodded. “Could I ask you some questions about what happened earlier?” He asks hesitantly. I nodded to him again. I was finding it hard to find my voice. He let out a breath and I could hear his heart rate increase.

“What happened with you and Alpha lan?” He finally asked, unsure.

“lan and I are friends,” I told him.

“Friends?” He questioned.

“Mason?” I smiled when he looked at me.

“Yeah?” He furrowed his eyebrows. I lifted my hand to his cheek, and goosebumps erupted all over my body.

“I know you’re my mate.”
