Chapter 37 Asher
I looked out through the eyes of my wolf, Zion, as his paws pounded along the undergrowth of the
forest. Another report of a rogue gave me another opportunity to take my energy and anger out.
Zion. once more deeply focused on hunting down the f**k*r who thought it was eptable to
overstep onto ournds… I was more than ready to allow him to take them down and punish them,
like the ones before. Punish cach and every rogue we could get our paws upon.
Rogues are the reason I lost my Ida. And each and every rogue after her that crossed our border
would be made to pay. This may be seen as irrational, but to me, it made perfect sense. Absolute

I felt numb at the thought, and I could sense the same frustration through my connection with Zion. I
had been looking forward to a hunt. A fight…

had a pack to assist with running, so I continued to function. Albeit barely. The dreams… more
often. nightmares of I… and losing her guing my nights. Torturing my mind. Torturing the mind
of Zion too. But, this was the life I had been fated and it was one I had to ept. Darkness had
be a part of me. I had forgotten what light and happiness felt like now.
Zion ducked behind the trees behind the packhouse, providing me with some shelter to shift. Our
clothes from earlier were left here to allow us to dress upon our return. I felt as he handed power
back to me, his whole mood as low as my own. He, too, missed his mate, and had hoped to take
out his wrath on the rogues who had caused her death. My bones fracture and dislocate, twisting
back to their human form, in a swift and easy shift, while Zion went to curl up in theher regions
of my mind to sulk. We may be grown, but he still liked to act like a child when he didn’t get his own
way.

I quickly slipped the clothes over my naked body in case there was anybody else around, before cu
through the gardens at the back of the packhouse to get back to my room. My Beta suite was the
only room within the packhouse that somebody actually lived in. And, that was only because I could
no longer bear to live in the home I had shared with my mate. The many rooms downstairs were
used during the day, the kitchen, the dining room, the offices, lounge and library… but after a certain
time, the packhouse would empty, and I found myself alone there. Often wandering the dark
corridors, unable to sleep.
“Hey Ash, you looked pi**d off, what’s up?” Eden’s voice startled me a little as I walked up
the steps onto the patio area. I had been paying little attention to my surroundings, which is never
good as a werewolf, especially considering I had just been out looking for a rogue, and I had not
even noticed her, which, considering her ever-increasing size, is quite a feat in itself!
I turned to look at her, she was sitting, looking rather ufortable on one of the outdoor benches,
looking out over the gardens. Her long dark braids pulled into a ponytail today. “Why does there
always have to be something wrong?” I asked her with a slow smile. “Though I could say the same
for you to be honest, you look far from impressed.”
She red at me darkly. “I am sick of being pregnant now. I feel so ufortable. And I swear you
could bounce me down the steps. I am bing so round and squishy!” she grumbles, and I do my
best not to smile at her words and at the image she had now put within my mind.
I leant myself against the balcony area of the patio, and smiled at her affectionately. Eden was like a
sister to me since she had be Caleb’s mate. She irritated me like one too at times, I have to
say, but I didn’t like the thought of her being fed up. “Eden, you know the baby will be worth it, and it
won’t be too much longer.”
She shrugged. “Enough talk of babies. We have the new teachering tomorrow. Could you
make sure things are prepared for her for me?”
I rolled my eyes at her question. I was d the pack finally had the new teacher we needed, but
why I was being involved when I had no involvement in her interview process, in the end, I do not
know. Eden had arranged this, so why is it I am sorting things for her? Not like she was queen.
“Tomorrow? Why so soon? Could she not at least give us time to arrange things and get things in
order.” I snapped.
Eden raised her eyebrows at me in shock. “Ash, don’t be like that, you know we need her toe
here. We have been looking for a teacher for ages. She sounds perfect. She asked if she could start
as soon as possible, so I said yes. I didn’t want to risk losing her

“Why did she need to start as soon as possible?” I demanded, something here sounded odd. I don’t
think anyone would ask to start the next day, especially when it involved aplete relocation too.
Hmm. This girl appeared to be running from something
Eden res at me. “Look, Asher, she ising tomorrow. Are you able to help me get things sorted
for her or not? I do not know why there is a need for so many questions. Even the pack Alpha didn’t
ask so many questions when I told him. And I am not in the right frame of mind for you being a
p**k.”
“Caleb probably didn’t ask many questions because he is too busy keeping you sweet.” I said
sarcastically.
Once more she is scowling at me, her face full of irritation. I find myself sighing Feeling bad for
making her feel worse than the already had. “Yes, I will help get things sorted. I just find it a little odd
that she is so desperate to start so quickly. Makes me wonder if the girl has something to hide. So, I
will be watching her.”
