Fates Hands novel Chapter 52

Chapter 51

Just after dinner Ash waited for her to come back, he knew that she had given him the slip. He sensed though it was something she wanted to do alone. Yeah, he had to admit he was smothering her a bit, he couldn’t help it, everything about her captivated him. He was hooked and he liked it.

He hid in the tree’s just outside the house she was visiting, he could listen in on the conversation but he felt he should let her have some privacy, His Cat scoffed at that, “You have not given her one ounce of privacy since you first met her. If I was her, I would of taken a swipe at your silly ass by now.”

“Ash laughed, really now I and I alone have been all over her, who purrs everytime he wraps himself around her?

Ash could almost hear Linus’s eyes roll in distain. Seriously though he was just as gone on Marnie as he was.

There she is coming out of that house, he hid himself on the other side of the tree, along the path she will have to take. She looked happy but lost in thought. A semi could roll up along side her and he didn’t think she would notice.

Just as she was about to pass the tree, Ash reached out and grabbed her, pulling her tightly to him. He reached his hand behind her head and pulled her in so he could kiss her. She didn’t resist so he deepened the kiss, taking over her sweet lips, parting them he then took full possession of her mouth.

When she pulled away, he put a

finger to her lips to stop her from talking

“Don’t say anything, if this has to end then so be it, if it means that you will be safe, I am ok with it. Just for this one moment let me hold you. Lets for just this one glorious moment pretend that it is just you and me.”

She pushed him away from her, with a smile she whispered to him…

“It doesn’t have to be just pretend for one moment in time, Mr. Kitty. I was talking with the elders, they said that our being together isn’t as unusual as we thought, It is entirely possible for us to be together as mates. Now you will do this right and go asked my brother for permission, then meet me in my room afterward.”

“Marnie, are you sure? Is this true? We can be together? Umm….wait, what…if your brother says no.?”

He picked her up twirling her in the filling snow as he laughed in lov.

He picked her up twirling her in the falling snow as he laughed in joy. Putting her down he straightened his back and started to walk to the pack house, he turned back to Marnie…

“Well go and get ready for me to come to your room, my big bad shewolf.”

She giggled…”Don’t worry about my brother saying no, Adria would skin him alive if he did.” L

With that Marnie ran off to her room, as Ashton went to see the Alpha.

Marco was surpised when he received yet another email. This one said that the meeting would be postponed until the King clears up some personal issues. He promises to be in touch soon.

He read the next email it was from Jack, all is going well they managed to find places for the survivors, and five of them found their actual families. And

that the facility was now nothing but some rubble amongst the trees.

Marco let out a sigh, “well at least for some the torture is over.” He wondered though how much more was going on elsewhere in the world, is there anymore closer to home. He promised himself that he was going to be much more watchful in the future.

He also intended to teach others in the pack, what to look for. To investigate and report it to him. They will determine what to do with a full investigation. No more assuming the world is all good, just because they were

Lily was going crazy with the heat, everything they tried didn’t work. If it did work it didn’t last very long and she would be in the same state as before. She started crying out of fustration and pain.

That was when Zinnia started acting more crazy then before, she started rubbing and prancing making little whiny noises. Lily got frustrated with her. 12

“Stop that, you’re acting like a slut, you know we are alone in this. There is no way I will go out of this room, you want me to give us to the first male that comes along?”

That was when she heard a very loud and long howl coming from somewhere in the castle, it sounded close. Zinnia started to prance again saying in a sing song voice, it’s mate, it’s mate.”

“Zinnia you know that our mate is dead, he is never coming back. Stop that right now.”

“NO”

Lily was shocked, Zinnia never spoke to her like that.
