Markus is clueless on how to understand his mute mate, Ashley. That's not their biggest problem. Two head vampires of powerful cults have had their eyes on Ashley for a while. These two cults were already on the brink of war. Is Ashley enough to start a war, when all she wants is to work through her wolf's depression and live in peace with her mate? Markus would fight the world to keep her close and safe. He doesn't know he may have to... Ashley included. Attempted updates Fridays and Saturdays.
