Novels by Queen Ash

Kiara was relieved to learn that Daniel had kept his word and taken Lana to the safe place, the manor, where she had been residing for the past few days. None of the threats she had received in the packhouse would be present here.They got up early and took Acadia for a stroll through the rose garden and the greenhouse. The greenhouse was a sight for sore eyes, as all the flowers were blooming like nobody's business despite the late spring. Lana was holding a bundle of joy in her arms as the little one was busy checking out the lay of the land. "I can't believe It's real. I've always wanted to visit a greenhouse since I was a kid, but the ticket in the city costs half of my grocery budget for the month. When I got here, I was like, "Does anyone have a whole greenhouse in their yard? haha." Lana laughed as she finished her sentence.Kiara remembered that the first time she worked for this family, she was just as excited as Lana. It would have been nice to take Lana here back then, to t

He pulled her dress up, bent, and pressed her legs against her chest. She pushed her panties sideways in a rude movement. Dave didn't give her even a moment to protest or catch her breath while he lowered the zipper of his trouser and guided his already hardening cock into her. Kiara's eyes widened in panic as she felt his long and girthy length slowly trying to penetrate. He intended to do it here! "P-please don't do it here-" she tried to make him hear her.But her efforts were in vain as she struggled to catch her breath, and all that came out of her lips was an incoherent moan when his body started to move in sync with his thrusts into her. Slow at first, but Dave picked up the pace over time, which overwhelmed her. She hugged his body. Crumpling his shirt and burying her face in the crook of his neck, Kiara closed her eyes. Her face was flushed and hot. She felt extremely ashamed and overwhelmed.She bit her tongue to keep the embarrassing voice from escaping her lips. She was

It's past midnight and Kiara can't sleep. Three days have passed since Dave sent the triplets to the Lycans and since then, she can't sleep peacefully. She was alone in the room because Dave had gone out after dinner. Acadia was with Rosemary so Kiara didn't have to worry about her at least for now. Rose to her feet, she grabbed a thick coat and put it on over her flimsy nightgown then darted out of Gwenna's house.She had to walk quite a far before she finally spotted her mate standing under a willow tree. Dave had his back to her and not seeming to hear her coming, Kiara ran to him. "Dave!" He turned around and was surprised to see she was there. "Kiara? Why are you here?" He reached and held her hand so that she wouldn't slip on the grass that was wet with night dew. Shouldn't she be the one asking why he was here? He didn't catch up with her in their room after dinner and instead, went out with Sam. After that day with the triplets, he made the pack members realize how important

Gwenna was the first to realize that the person they were waiting for was already in place. She didn't care anymore if Kiara wouldn't; she would tell everything to the Alpha about what the triplets were trying to do to the human girl. And let's see what Dave would do to them. 'They think that they won't get punished?' Gwenna's temper flared up as soon as she heard Kiara say that yesterday."Dave, they're being insolent to Luna Kiara! "They broke the pack's rules, and they tried to hurt Lana!"The Alpha and Beta had just returned from their jogging around the packhouse and were greeted with this commotion.Dave didn't immediately respond to Gwenna and tackled Caleb and his brothers. He walked over to his wife instead. Kiara had already risen to her feet. One hand was tightly wrapped around her other arms. Dave noticed the reddened blister on her right elbow, and his jaw clenched. She stared at him with visible relief, but there was also subtle worry. "Dave...""Are you alright?"She no

Acadia was crying loudly when they returned. As a baby who didn't usually fuss when someone else was holding her, it seemed that the baby was angry when she woke up and it wasn't her mom by her side.Rosemary bounced her on her arm, trying to stop the crying. She breathed a sigh of relief as she saw Kiara. "Oh, thank goodness you've come." She handed the baby to her mother. Kiara ran the tip of her fingers over Acadia's nose, which was red because of her weeping. She knew that the baby wasn't hungry because she had breastfed her before, so she must have cried when she woke up and felt an unfamiliar figure with her.And sure enough, as if instantly recognizing that her mom was back, Acadia's crying subsided. Her little fingers tugged on Kiara's hair, making her chuckle. "Are you looking for mommy? Relax, my dear; Mom is here now."Gwenna joined them after returning from the kitchen. "Kiara, did you call me earlier? I'm sorry I didn't hear it; the music was so loud. What is it? I hop

If she arrived even a minute late, Kiara didn't know what could happen to her best friend. Lana was curled up on the ground. She had tried to fight and run as fast as she could, but she stumbled, and they caught her easily. She was surrounded by three pack members, who Kiara noticed don't usually go to the manor to carry out Dave's duties. The three male members were young, at least in their late twenties. They seemed to be not only bothering Lana trivially but also scaring her to death until the girl's body trembled.The other two young guys who brought her to Lana are named Ezekiel and Luke. They saw what the three people did to Lana by accident and immediately reported it to Kiara. And once she got that information, she froze in place. Lana! She had forgotten about her friend. She forgot Lana was still at the party!Her panic over Acadia's safety earlier made her completely forget that she was in charge of one more person's safety. Her human friend, whom she invited to come here.

As the street performers finished their third song, the audience threw money into the container in appreciation for the entertainment they had received.It wasn't long before the container was full and the singers, including a little girl who wandered into the crowd, were beaming. She dashed to them as soon as she noticed Isabelle watching them from the crowd."You came! You kept your promise!" She cheered enthusiastically to the two of them, it was obvious that the little girl was very happy. Isabelle ruffled her hair gently "How could we forget? I like your singing, Lola" "Thank you!" The little girl loved to sing, and she was even happier because since she met Isabelle, there was no Rogue to bother their show. "Are the men still messing around over there?" Victor asked her "No sir, they never come again. It's magic!" Lola explained with sparkling eyes "What did you do to them? Are they all in jail? Are you a cop?" Her eyes twinkled. The little girl couldn't help but be curiou

Tiffany followed Nicholas until they reach the dense forest area further and deeper, the man seemed to have no intention of stopping even though he was far from the manor and only entered into the darkness, there was nothing here except the trees. Tiffany needed to make her boyfriend realize that maybe he was just hallucinating about seeing someone. "Nich!" the girl called out, He finally stopped his running right then and there, the person he was sure he saw earlier was gone. So fast it ran away, whoever they are must have known that Nicholas saw and chased after them. What a wily creature in fleeing and hiding, but unfortunately it would not last long. "Who exactly are you chasing? You..seem to see someone so...so important?" Tiffany was breathing heavily after running after him. "A witch, she was a Silverfur prisoner who was to be sentenced to death, but she escaped from prison and the pack hasn't found her yet. I believe I saw her!"Nicholas replied as his eyes scanned the su

"Would you like to dance?" Nicholas offered his hand to her. The guests began to dance with their respective partners in the hall, in sync with the melody of the music. As Alpha Xander and Violet returned to the manor, more and more joined the dance. Tiffany just watched them from the banquet table in the corner, the couples seemed to be very good at dancing and moving their bodies. Being at this party, a werewolf party for the first time made the girl feel a little awkward because of just a few people she knew. she accepted it and let him lead her to the center of the hall to join the others. "I might step on your foot" the girl felt she better say it before she would step on his foot and startled him. Nicholas chuckled "I won't get mad" Actually he wasn't very good at this kind of dancing himself. Tiffany glanced around for her parents, only to find that they had already joined the dancing party at some point. "Nich, do you think I get along well with the werewolves, with th

This was not the first time Xander had seen her. In his eyes, his mate was the only woman capable of possessing his heart. Only Violet could do that. But now looking at her, coming down the stairs in her wedding dress, he felt like he was seeing her for the first time. He could barely take his eyes off her let alone breathe. The girl took all his attention, she seemed to shine like a full moon tonight. And the smile on her face was the prettiest of all. It was because he knew that it was a happy smile. Xander couldn't help himself and walk over to her, he held out a hand and she take it. And as the Alpha led his mate to the center of the hall, there were whispers from the guests that all made Xander smile. Everyone was saying that his bride was indeed the perfect mate for him. "What's wrong?" the girl whispered softly and quietly "Is there something wrong with my appearance? I overheard them talking about me a bit"Violet swallowed, she never liked being the center of attention be

Victor stared blankly at the corpse of a Lycan lying in front of him. The Alpha tried to catch his breath, his opponent was dead but his anger had not yet dissipated. This was the creature that had killed his parents all those years ago, cause they do it against his order. Or was it he who could not control them? Until they killed his father and mother. Now that the creature was still alive, alarms rang in his mind remembering who the Lycan tried to attack moments ago."Isabelle?" Victor looked around but the girl was no longer there. There was a large trash can next to a street lamp, the man walked over to it. Victor stopped when he found the girl cowering there, hiding. She was so scared that she didn't even dare to look into his eyes. Victor held out his hand, but she just stood still and stared at him motionless. Only then did he realize that he must now look too horrible for her to look at. His hands and shirt were covered in the Lycan's blood. That blood must have spread to h

"Alpha, there is a letter for Luna Isabelle from the Scarlet Claw pack" Gavriel handed the paper to himVictor raised an eyebrow. A letter to his Luna from Scarlet Claw? This must have been written by her twin. Victor stared at the letter for a while, he didn't want to open this first before her. But the man couldn't help his worry. What does it say? Her twin met his Luna a few days ago. Nicholas, the one who swore loyalty to his pack was now back with them. 'Is there something they are planning to do to my Luna?' he wondered.The man finally opened the paper and read the contents, and sure enough, it was written by Violet herself. Mom and dad are here.That was the first sentence written, Victor read the whole thing. Afterward, he folded the letter back up and put it in his pocket. The Alpha seemed silent for a moment, not making any comment on the contents of the letter. That made Gavriel wonder "Is the letter a threat?" Gavriel asked "Do we need to make preparations in case the

Carlo.I inhaled from my cigarette, watching the smoke float into the air. I've been attempting to rid myself of this anger that's been consuming me, but unfortunately, my efforts have been in vain. All of Zeke's words, his act of betrayal, and the secrets he kept—I never expected him to do something like this.I would have killed him yesterday if Catrina's screams hadn't alerted the others to come. It took Jonah, Alex, and two other warriors to separate me from Zeke.I had already injured Zeke when they finally succeeded in separating us. As blood trickled from the deep gash I inflicted on his neck, dangerously close to his veins, I almost killed him..."Let me kill him," I growled, giving a warning that if they interfered, I might not hesitate to kill them too."What happened? Alpha, we didn't mean to interrupt or interfere, but...you could have killed him!""Just let it be. He deserved it," I answered.My gaze was sharp at Zeke. He didn't say anything. Of course, he had no explanat

Catrina."Is everything alright? I saw two wolves jump to you from the direction of the forest." Zeke and Carissa hurriedly approached us, catching our attention. "Yes. There's nothing to worry about." Carlo answered. "They're just rogues and their pups around here, but Catrina senses that the female is pregnant. So, it seems like we'll be welcoming a new member to our pack soon." Carlo's sentence brought a comforting feeling to my chest, as he genuinely considered my suggestion, which I truly appreciated.'Thank you so much,' I smiled and said through our link.'Anything for you.'Carissa grinned, mirroring Zeke's proud expression. He turned to me and exclaimed, "Cat, you're a true Luna that any pack would be lucky to have! Not only are you powerful, but your attention to detail like this will provide them with a feeling of safety.""Thanks, that was so kind," I said to him.I noticed Zeke and Carlo exchange glances, and I realized that they were communicating through the link. Ze

CatrinaI sensed Carlo's presence in the dining room without even glancing at the door, as his intoxicating smell wafted towards me. I immediately rushed towards him, and he pulled me closer by my waist. We kissed, savoring the moment without any sense of urgency. The way he kisses me and expresses his emotions always brings me so much joy and makes me feel incredibly loved. He didn't just kiss me when he wanted sex."The food is ready..." Mathilda announced, capturing the attention of the men.There are also some warriors, Carlo's closest confidant, who brought along their mate. Fortunately, we prepared a generous amount of food, so it seems we'll be able to enjoy a delightful meal this morning. "Come one, come on.""I'm already so peckish," Jonah murmured.Carlo invited the others to take a seat. They promptly made their way to the dining table and began helping themselves to the delicious spread of food."Invite Edna to join too." Carlo said to an Omega, then asked me, "Is Lacie aw

Catrina.Three days later...After freshening up and changing my outfit, I made my way to the kitchen, drawn by the joyful sounds of laughter and conversation. Today was a vibrant morning, with the sun shining brightly. From the open window, the air carried the delightful fragrance of flowers from the garden and the mouthwatering aroma of cooking from the stove.Carissa stood next to the stove and seemed to be stirring something in a pot. It must be a soup—a flavorful and aromatic soup that is full of richness..."I already have a feeling it will be really good." I walked over.Edna looks after Lacie in the living room. Morea glanced at the oven, noticing the cake batter she had recently placed inside. It seemed she had planned to bake a cake this morning. Meanwhile, Mathilda set up multiple utensils and placed them neatly on the dining table."Let me help," I offered, retrieving a sleek bowl from the cupboard and placing it on the dining table."Didn't I mention that you could come

ZekeThat's how it all unfolded, like in a whirlwind. I took a few steps back. As I shifted back into my human self, my mouth was moist, and the metallic tang of blood remained. I'm feeling queasy. I shifted my gaze elsewhere, avoiding the sight of what I had just done.Celeste remained still. Indeed, I have just ended her life.Catrina sprinted towards me, her voice lost in the wind as she appeared before me in an instant. She violently shook my shoulder and said, "Zeke! You hear me?"Carlo came closer. His face was filled with so much emotion that I couldn't explain what it was, but it was clear that there was anger. He ordered me not to kill Celeste because we promised her death in front of all Dakota.But I didn't listen to what he ordered. So it's understandable that he's angry. Carlo assisted Catrina in getting to her feet. I saw how she was shocked and shaking, and I felt guilty. Alex, Jonah, and the others are showing similar expressions.They looked like they couldn't believ

Catrina After providing Luna and her puppies with some comforting words and assuring them that we would soon locate Celeste and ensure her safety, I made my way back to Carlo. The Lunas and pups have been returned to their respective packs, while the Alphas remain here. They had a meeting at the manor, and afterward, the tasks were divided. To ensure that we would find her as soon as possible, they dispersed to every corner of Dakota until she was discovered. When I came back and make my way to the meeting room only Damien remained. He and Carlo appeared to be engaged in a heated discussion until the entire room was enveloped by their intense aura. "Your mate freed that witch; now I want to hear what you will do to account for this?" Damien growled; his face looked annoyed and angry when Carlo said that Amora was his mate. "I've rejected her; she's no longer my mate. But I'll make sure to kill her as soon as I find her." "Regardless of whether she is your mate or not, you are w

"You made me worried; I thought something might have happened to-" Keith paused as he recognized the man and woman standing before me.If I thought Zoe was shocked when she saw my face earlier, I can't even begin to find the right words to describe her reaction upon seeing Keith's face now. She, who had yet to fully comprehend that I was still alive, had to confront the reality that I had been in contact with her husband's brother all along. "Keith, what are you doing here?" She asked."You guys here as well?" Keith attempted to mask his displeasure upon spotting James and Zoe. Even though he wasn't able to fully conceal it. "So, you came here with him?" it was James who took the floor. He disregarded his brother’s question and focused on me instead.His voice was calm, yet there was something about it that felt far more disconcerting than if he had raised his voice in anger. And for some reason, I found it impossible to meet his gaze any longer. So I turned my attention to Keith i

"But this cannot happen. Who is it?" Zoe could not accept James' explanation as she now turned to me "Who has helped you to get here? There is no way you can get here because of your efforts. You do not even have money to support yourself much less travel to another city after James divorced you."I tried not to react to what Zoe said. I aimed to keep my composure on the surface if I wanted my game to thrive. Before she could pose another inquiry, I took my daughter's hand, ready to guide her away from them. Zoe had unsettled my daughter, and I was determined to keep Layla away from her, and from James especially.However, just after taking a step, I was halted by James' voice."Wait mrs.... whatever your name is." He restrained the final word he was on the verge of uttering. I turned around and stared at him. He gazed at me with an expression that suggested he wished I would reconsider."Yes?" I asked.James cleared his throat with a subtle shift in demeanor. What she said next comp

Clara's POVWe locked eyes, and for a brief moment, her expression shifted to one of sheer astonishment. Zoe likely never anticipated encountering me here tonight in this city, the woman she believed was dead five years ago.My heart raced uncontrollably, like a criminal caught in the act. I had almost forgotten about Zoe over the last few years. Now seeing her face again stirred up memories of our first encounter. It was a night at my anniversary dinner, and it was James who brought Zoe and introduced her to me. Believing we could get along with each other.Zoe's gaze moved from me to my daughter, who was now embracing my lower body with a firm grip. "H-how..." she struggled to find the right words. "Impossible. This cannot happen. I must be dreaming right now." She sounds more like talking to herself.'No. You don't'I want to say out loud yet I sealed my lips as I recalled the present situation. I remember that for the people from my past, I had lost my memories. So I no longer rem

Clara's POV"What's our next destination?" Keith enquired as we exited the restaurant together. Dinner had concluded, but the night was still young.I gazed at the sky adorned with stars, the moon radiating its brilliance. "Are you free tonight?"Typically, there is work that needs to be addressed. It seemed like Keith set aside time to take us out. Though he didn't show that he minded, I was afraid this might be disturbing his schedule."What is it about me being swarmed with work that you find so appealing? You just want me to feel overwhelmed and grow older faster.""Don't get me wrong, I just want to make sure since I'm familiar with your routine," I responded without glancing in his direction.I intentionally looked away from him since earlier. Worried he might see the flush on my cheeks. I noticed he was watching me ever since we had our meal; I couldn't quite figure out what he was thinking. However, it didn't resonate with me. It seemed as though he was probing into my life."

James' POVHave you ever had a moment when your good mood was abruptly shattered, leaving you feeling so repulsed that it almost made you feel ill? That's the feeling I had when I saw my younger brother with my ex-wife, looking so happy together. Keith took Clara's hand, holding it gently as she offered him a soft smile.He smiled like an idiot teenager in love.I never thought I would cross paths with them this evening, yet here I am. I saw them from the second-floor glass window of this restaurant where Zoe and I were set to enjoy dinner tonight."What’s interesting out there?" Zoe, My wife, wrapped her arms around me from behind, resting her chin gently on my shoulder.The moment her perfume wafted through the air, it turned me on. I shifted my focus from the unpleasant scene outside to my beautiful wife, her elegant neck and bare shoulders were so alluring.“Hey, what’s with the long face?” Is there an issue with the client?” She enquired, her expression reflecting worry.I shook

Clara's POVReturning to work, I found myself confronted by Diana, who was bombarding me with a barrage of questions regarding the events of yesterday. I let out a deep breath. I've said multiple times that it was nothing serious, but her curiosity just wouldn't quit."I don't know when you'll stop asking and let me do my work, Die."But she keeps talking. Now I get why her boyfriend sometimes calls her a nag."I heard heard Mr. Morgan reached out to him for a discussion. Yet he didn't do anything to that man like what he did to your other secret admirer ma'am. That's so unusual of him?""That man isn't my secret admirer," I said with a sharp edge.How can I explain to her that the reason Keith didn't confront him as he did with Lucas is that the man who came to me yesterday is his brother?"Can it be because Mr. Morgan is afraid of him?"I don't think Keith fears James, or vice versa. He has respect solely for his brother, and that's it."I don't know," I responded nonchalantly, avoi
