Ashton was aware that other than Talia and Violet, his parents were also watching, and that put additional pressure on him to make this work.
He was Alpha Ashton Pascal, the only heir of the Spring Leaf pack, and failure was not an option.
Unfortunately, the man in front of Ashton was not just a doting father or an overbearing Alpha. That was Alpha Damon Blake, the man who is leading the largest coalition of werewolves known to history, and he wouldn't be able to achieve such a feat if his power could be measured.
Ashton knew how possessive and protective Damon could be. Ashton was not a child clinging to Talia; he was a grown man wanting to claim Damon's daughter. Actually, Ashton had claimed her already, but they didn't seal the bond, and Ashton hoped that Damon would see that as a good thing.
Thank you for supporting my work!
