Cici's POV

I wake up being thrown around the back of a car, I groan internally as I remembered what had happened. Goddess my father was right, I'm worthless, I can't even kill myself right. I remembered my dream, if that's what it was, about my wolf being back after all these years. Then like a shockwave I could feel her power, I knew it wasn't a dream anymore. I blinked and tried to move but I couldn't shift a muscle. I hear voices mumbling in the front seat, but I can't focus on anything. I try to move again; I'm starting to panic because I can't. I try to cry out, but nothing comes out. It feels like I am stuck in my own mind.

"... take away her wolf." I hear my mate say. My mate? Then I realize something, the reason why I can't move is because my wolf is in control.

"No." Comes out of my mouth suddenly but it's not me talking, it's my wolf. Slowly I sit up, still not in control. My wolf is furious. Our mate wants to kill us I hear her think. She bolts up and wraps her, no our, hands around his neck. I scream at her not to kill him, but she hisses at me and twists. I see him go limp and the car starts to swerve.

My wolf propels my body out of the car. We crash through the window landing in wolf form. I keep screaming at her to go back and check on him. We run through the woods at a very fast pace. I keep fighting control from my wolf but to no avail.

When I'm finally able to gain some control and shift back as I go flying hitting my head on a tree. Immediately a spike of pain flows through my body. I scream as my vision starts to blur. I hear a growl and I stare up into the beautiful blue eyes of my mate. He frowns down at me and even though I am completely naked from shifting I don't mind his eyes on me. My wolf starts to fight for control when she sees him, but I manage to keep control as I say...

"I'm sorry." Then everything goes black.

Alpha Ash's POV:

The heart rate monitor lulls me into silent thought as I study her face. The doctors said she was completely fine, physically. The mental part they weren't too sure about. My wolf is silent, he has been ignoring me ever since she hit her head. I sigh and put my face in my palms. This is all my fault. I internally groan. She wouldn't have run off if I didn't try and take her from the fucking hospital, dumbass.

Rubbing my eyes, I look back up. There is a small scar on her forehead I hadn't seen before. It was probably from her father. Paul had told me that she was afraid of him and the doctors told me about all the scars that littered her tiny body. I inwardly growl. If I ever see that bastard, he will pay.

I look back up and almost jump when I see her eyes.... stunning, beautiful emerald-green eyes. They're open. "H-hey." I say my heart fluttering. Thank the goddess she is awake. It takes me a second to realize that her eyes changed, they're now a dazzling silver. I frown and lean forward.

Cici, no, Maya growled. I lean back, quickly. Her eyes stare at me, calculating. "Well, I see you have your wolf." I say, still keeping my eyes on her. She still looks at me, her expression un-moving. She has an animalistic look on her face that screams danger.

"Talk to me Cici." I say again leaning forward again. With lightning quick reflexes, she sits up and swings her leg up around my neck. Before I can react, she has me pinned to the floor by my neck between her thighs. I try to move but she has me pinned. My wolf growls and begs to take over. "Cici, calm down." I say, refusing to let my wolf fight her, it would only make the situation worse. She growls. "Talk to me." I plead.

"I am calm." She growls. I freeze. Her voice, it's beautiful and confident.

"Can you let me go?" I ask cautiously. She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath before opening them again. This time they are back to their brilliant emerald green. She sits up and rolls off me, I hop up and she does the same.

"The old Cici is gone now I have Maya, I'm no longer scared and I won't be walked over." She says. She looks into my eyes and time stops. I drink her in as my eyes roam her figure hungrily. My heart is pounding as I subconsciously wrap my arms around her and pull her closer. My wolf shivers in pleasure and he says to me 'This time, I am not letting go.' I don't know what he means by 'this time' but I agree, I will never let her go.
