Lost Wolf

Chapter 17

Damon POV

I wanted her. I wanted Ashton. Every part of her, right here, right now.

Her moans as I kissed her made my wolf go wild.

I pulled away slightly, giving her a peck on the lips, nose and then forehead. I looked her directly in the eyes.

"I have wanted this, you, since the moment I laid eyes on you," I told her. "But I don't want to go any further until you're ready"

I knew she was still a virgin. She mentioned it in one of the many conversations we've had about her previous life.

She looked at me slightly disappointed.

"I'm going to take my time with you, Ashton. There is no need to rush. I plan on having you all to myself for a long, long time." I added with another kiss to her forehead.

She reluctantly pulled away.

"Promise?" She said, her voice breathless with her arousal.

My c**k twitched in my jeans at that one word.

I gave her one more deep kiss, "promise" I whispered against her lips.

Ashton looked up at me, "should we continue?" She asked.

"Yup," I laughed.

After gaining my composure I continued.

"Your senses are heightened so your wolf is present, we just need her to come to the surface. You need to clear your mind, silence human thoughts and try to picture your wolf. What she may look like, the color of her fur"

I watched Ashton close her eyes and regulate her breathing.

I watched for a while, waiting.

She opened her eyes and I saw a flash of gold but it quickly disappeared.

"What happened?" I asked her.

Ashton POV

I tried to picture a wolf. Any wolf. Suddenly a black wolf emerged. But not black like Damon's. She was silky black, the tips of her fur seem to sparkle like a starry night sky. She was beautiful. Then she was gone.

I opened my eyes to Damon watching me. "What happened?" He said.

"I saw a wolf but she disappeared as fast as she appeared."

Maybe it was just my imagination.

"Your eyes flickered briefly to your wolf when you opened them" Damon responded easing my doubt.

"Try one more time, and this time try calling out to her and inviting her in, just a little." He continued.

I did as he asked but this time there was nothing.

I continued to try a few more times with no luck.

Damon could sense that I was growing frustrated and decided to end my training. I had just enough time to shower and change before dinner. Damon said he had to attend to some things in his office before meeting me for dinner.

Grady POV

"Grady, meet me in my office in 10 minutes" Damon's voice announced through the mind link.

"Got it" I replied.

I grew slightly nervous. We hadn't found anymore information about Ashton's history or what happens when the eclipse comes and her pack rises again. I hoped that wasn't the information he was looking for.

A few moments later I knocked on Damon's office door. I don't always knock but this felt.... less casual.

"Since when do you knock" Damon called out.

I chuckled, opening the door and felt myself relax.

"I was unsure of the situation and felt it was better to be cautious" I told him.

He just shook his head at me. At least he seems to be in a good mood.

"Ashton is having trouble reaching her wolf. She surfaced briefly once but then refused to comply again" Damon stated.

"I wonder if it has anything to do with the Shadow Heir, if there's something holding her wolf back." I replied to him.

He shook his head "A powerful wolf sometimes takes longer to emerge but Ashton is already 18. That shouldn't be the case anymore." He said.

"Speaking of, did you learn anymore about that?" He continued

Shit, why did I bring that up?
