  "We're going to war."

  "So I've heard." He smiles down at me while offering me a straw.

  It takes me a moment to realise what the drink is, but as soon as I do, I clamp my lips around it and suck it down. The blood hits my tongue, and I instantly feel a little stronger. Not full kickass strength. Just enough so my eyes aren't as heavy anymore.

  I push myself up so I'm seated, but Remus pushes me back down straight away.

  "Lie back. You still need to rest, even with the blood."

  I nod, and do as he says. The bed is particularly comfortable, I must admit.

  Remus sets the cup to the side once I've finished, and rises to his feet.

  "Goodnight, Ashryn," he says.

  "Stay," I murmur, already feeling sleep creep up on me.

  "Ashryn..." he starts to protest.

  "Please."

  I'm not sure what's come over me, but I don't think I want to be alone.

  "Okay." He perches back down on the bed, keeping a good distance between us.

  That's not what I intended.

  I pat the bed next to me. "Lie here."

  My eyes are drifting closed, but I'm aware enough to see him make the decision. He nods, and takes off his shoes and letting them fall to the floor.

  I shuffle over in the bed to make room for me, and he actually obliges, lying down next to me and wrapping his arms around me.

  Remus kisses the back of my head, and I sigh, far more content than I ever imagined.

  I'm home. I'm at peace. For now at least.

  Tomorrow, we'll have to go to war.

  The End

  ***

  Don’t worry, this isn’t the end of Ashryn’s story! The final book in the trilogy, Tarnished Illusions, will be releasing in April 2018 (or earlier if possible!) If you want to be notified when it goes live, join my Reverse Harem Mailing List! Alternatively, you can join my Facebook Group, the Paranormal Council.

  Author’s Note

  Once again, Ashryn has turned all my plans on their heads and left me saying “what?!” at the end. I don’t think this went any of the ways I planned. Not length, not content, not Ashryn...and that’s one of the best bits about writing: the journey of how to get there. I hope you enjoyed the second part of Ashryn’s journey as much as I did discovering it.

  And the third part isn’t far off! Tarnished Illusions will be my next solo release, and will conclude Ashryn’s journey! I hope you stay around for it!
