The Alpha's Bride

Chapter 1065 Alpha Violet and Alpha Ashton (6)

Ashton sat on the ground and extended his arms to Violet.

Violet raised her head and sniffed the air.

Ashton chuckled, knowing why she did that. "Don't worry. There is no one around to see me." He frowned. "But just in case, I want you to stay like that."

Violet realized that he didn't want her to shift. He wanted her in wolf form in case someone comes around and sees her naked. Talk about double standards, but she was glad that he was so protective of her.

Violet put her head on Ashton's thigh, and he ran his fingers through her golden fur. Her muscles rippled because everything was much more sensitive when she was a wolf.

Ashton leaned to kiss the top of her head.

"You are beautiful, Vi. I am lucky to have you in my arms."

The sincerity of his words hit her hard, and she whimpered.

"Do you want us to return to the Midnight Guardians pack?" Ashton asked, his fingers never stopping their movement through her rich fur. "We can spend another few months there and see if that's enough to satisfy our cravings for each other. And if that's not enough, we will stay there longer. Forever, if needed. I don't care about me or you being Alpha. I don't care about welcoming dinners and feasts, and I definitely don't care about ceremonies that will put me in a position I don't want. The only thing I want is to be with you, and if other people are upsetting this bliss we have, we can leave, run away, go to a place where it will be just the two of us. We can live in a human city or find an isolated spot. I will build us a shelter, and hunt for food, and it will be just us. What do you say?"

Violet raised her head to look at him.

'We can't do that, Ash,' Violet was snarling, snorting, and making other noises in her wolf form, but her words reached him clearly through their mind link. 'If you leave, there will be no one to lead the Spring Leaf pack. And if I leave, Jacob will take over the Dark Howlers pack, and Valeria will become the Alpha of the Midnight Guardians pack.'

"Would that be bad?" He didn't bother using the mind link, knowing she could understand him.

'They will never live up to those roles, Ash. Not because I don't trust they can do it, but because they will know that they got those positions only because I left. They will doubt their abilities, and they will doubt the pack's loyalty, and those will eat them from the inside. A leader without confidence is doomed for failure, and the pack will suffer.'

Ashton smiled. "The Moon Goddess blessed me with a wise mate. You are not only breathtakingly beautiful and powerful, but you also hold wisdom beyond your age. I am indeed a lucky guy."

Violet snorted, and she moved her head to the side only to be greeted with Ashton's raging erection hitting her snout.

'Why are you aroused now? Are you into furries?'

Ashton chuckled. "I thought I told you a story about how once I nearly fucked a mountain goat. She was lucky I hadn't eaten for days and was starving. You, on the other hand..." He grinned. "I had lunch, so I am rather horny."

Violet's eyes were open so wide that they nearly popped out of their sockets.

She quickly flipped her body and landed on her four legs.

'If you want to eat this...' She raised her tail to show him her butt. 'You will need to catch me first!'

And off she went to disappear into the bushes.

Ashton jumped after her, and instead of two bare feet, four paws landed on the soft grass as a massive gray wolf dashed in the direction where the golden one disappeared.

Ashton knew that he needed to talk to his mother about boundaries, and it was a question if the relationship between Michelle and Violet could be mended at all.

Considering their current situation, pacifying Violet came first, and dealing with his mother was for later. He will do his best to make Luna Michelle understand the situation, and if it doesn't work, he will cut her off. For him, it was that simple.

Ashton was aware that his mother was happy and didn't handle the situation appropriately. He couldn't blame her. However, Violet was not a no-name she-wolf, and his mother should know better.

Violet was an Alpha female and the highest-ranking werewolf by birth whose strength and power were praised by werewolves, witches, and the Guardians. Dismissing Violet and talking like she should be happy to be the Luna of a mediocre pack was testing luck. Ashton knew his mother was lucky only because Violet cared about his feelings.

Ashton shook those thoughts away. He was chasing after Violet, and if she got a hint that he was thinking about someone else, she would blow a fuse.

Violet was temperamental and possessive, and he loved her just the way she was. She was a strong female, submitting to him willingly and letting him plunder her insides, and that turned him on beyond belief. Now the only thing he needed to do was to catch her...

...

Ashton and Violet returned to the packhouse after a night of frolicking in the forest. Violet enjoyed exploring the secret hideouts Ashton used as a kid, but what they did in those places was inappropriate for kids to see.

"Where were you?" Luna Michelle asked from the door. She wanted to scold him for being irresponsible, but she stopped when she realized that Ashton was holding onto Violet like she might escape if he let her go. "Did something happen?"

"Whatever happened is between me and my mate," Ashton responded dryly.

Luna Michelle gaped at him. "My question came from a place of love and worry. Why are you curt with me? We had an event last night, and everyone was waiting for you, and you didn't show up. Your father and I tried mind-linking you, and you shut us down, leaving us with an event hall full of Elders and other high-ranking pack members, unsure how to explain your absence. This is not the right way to set the tone as the future Alpha who knows his responsibilities. If anything, you should apologize."

"Alphas don't apologize," Ashton said and looked behind his mother to see Alpha Cristian approaching them.

Ashton turned to Violet. "Do you want to wait in my room?"

Violet refused. "Luna Michelle might be talking to you, but her words are directed at both of us. I am your mate, and I won't allow you to face this, or anything else, on your own."

Ashton's heart expanded, and he felt a sudden urge to kiss Violet, but this was not the time for a lovey-dovey mood. His parents were right there, and they had an audience of several Omegas pretending to work while eavesdropping.

Ashton welcomed spectators as he didn't want to risk other incidents. It's not that he feared it might separate him from Violet, but he could feel her insecurities and dejection, and he vowed never to be the reason for Violet to have negative emotions.
