All For Her
Ashton stood in the deep shade of a familiar forest. He was there many times, but couldn't put his finger on it.
He took a deep breath, inhaling the scent of the forest and wildflowers. That was the scent that always brought him peace.
"Come on, Ash!"
His head jerked toward the voice, and he saw Violet on a meadow, wearing a light blue sundress that matched her eyes. Her long black hair swayed in the breeze and her smile made his heart sing.
She was not a child, but an eighteen-year-old beauty who looked at him with love and admiration, and he could feel the mate bond stronger than ever. She knew they were mates, and she was not rejecting him.
Is this a dream? It didn't matter.
Ashton moved toward her, and she grinned mischievously before breaking into a run.
"Catch me if you can!" She giggled.
"Oh, I will catch you alright," he growled and activated the tattooed runes that boosted his speed.
