Ashley/Olivia's POVAs I turned to leave, a massive figure emerged from the trees and pounced on me, making me roll over. Luciana's eyes widened in surprise as Greg, his face contorted in rage, pounced on me.I was not expecting to meet Greg here. I was surprised but he would be more surprised. However, this was an opportunity to end it all. Martains and his men would be here soon.As an alpha, Greg was strong and he poured in all his rage on me. Our strengths were at the same level.I was below him so he did not see my face until I rolled him over and he caught sight of my face, my full appearance."Greg, no!" Luciana croaked, her voice weak from the poison."Olivia? What...why.. are you...? And what is the meaning of this? I mean, you, Luciana.""Are you surprised to see me here, brother-in-law?" I smirked, standing up and he took a step backwards."Don't listen to her, Greg. She is not the real Olivia." Luciana said, almost in a whisper, forcing herself to speak."Shhsh! Don't str
Ashley/Olivia's POVGreg charged forward at Martains with a fierce battle cry, his claws extended and his teeth bared.The warriors around Martains rushed at him before he could even get closer and then they pinned him down.One of them raised his hands to hit down on Greg but Martains raised his hands for them to stop."Just pin him down first and don't let him move a bit. I am surprised why he is charged at me and wants to kill me. I need to understand everything going on here before I lay a finger on him."So they pinned him down as he kept struggling to free himself.I cleaned the dirt that had gathered on my body from rolling around and stood where I was while Martains and Carl walked towards me.The expression on his face showed he was confused seeing Luciana on the floor, the crazy wolf who wanted to attack him and then his personal maid, Emily in the woods."Why are you here, Emily? Why was he attacking you? And why is Luciana lying half dead on the floor? Tell me what is happ
Ashley/Olivia's POVThe wood was silent once again, the only sound being the heavy breathing of Martains and the warriors.I watched as Martains and Carl stood still even when his warriors had taken Luciana's body and kicked the dead Greg's body somewhere far.He was not a member of any pack in Oakstone so his body could only be left there. As an alpha, he would have deserved better but he choose the path of a traitor. His pack members would look for him and take his dead body back to Silvertail if they wanted to.The expression on Martains's face was that of pain and devastation."You found the truth and brought an end to it all. You can break from the hard truth but endure it, man." Carl said, tapping on his shoulders before moving to join the other warriors.It was just me and Martains now. I moved closer, closing the gap between us.My hand found its way to his shoulders and tapped on it continuously. He held my hands and bent his head, letting the tears flow.It was the first tim
Today was the 5th day of the month of September and counting down, it's been two years since that horrible incident.Lost in thoughts, Ashley stood in front of her mirror trying so hard not to let guilt overwhelm her. Her rain of thoughts is however interrupted by a noise coming from behind her."What's up with you Luciana? You are the only one who has the right to barge into the Luna's room. Even my husband would knock at times." Ashley with arms akimbo pretends to be angry."Try kick me out then. I am sure you can't do that." Luciana lips curved slightly, giving off a sheepish grin as she replied.Luciana knew what her friend was thinking about and she could not help but be happy to see guilt written all over her face. It would make things much easier for others to believe with her attitude.Two years ago, while Ashley and Martins were still in courtship, Martin's niece got missing and the body was found months later.Ashley and Luciana had gone to the alpha's family house to mak
Limuel sat up quickly while trying to figure out who could be at the door. The knock didn't last for long as he heard another footstep coming closer."The Luna doesn't want to be distributed. I believe she is fast asleep now." A voice from outside said to the other."Alright, head maid. I just thought to check up her if she needed anything." The maid replied.Limuel heaved a sigh of relief and laid down back. He soon fell asleep as he also took a sleeping pill.It was evening and the other family members had started arriving for the birthday celebration. The family members that were present shook hands and greeted one another as they waited for the celebrant to arrive.The host of the party, alpha Martins was already in the hall welcoming the people who had arrived but his Luna was not yet around. He looked around the hall to see if he could catch a glimpse of her probably she was too busy doing some finishing touch preparations."This is unlike Li. Where could she be?" He thought.Be
Alpha Martins POVMy heart was beating fast and my wolf, Max was getting agitated. "How could our mate do this to us? That means she doesn't love us." He whimpered.I stormed out of the room to catch my breath and figure it out all . I didn't want to look like a weakling in front of so many people. It hurts, but I dare not cry. What I should do at least is to imprison her.One part of me is furious while the other part is still fighting to accept the fact that she killed my niece and cheated on me with a mere servant.I walked back calmly into the room and gave my order."Beta Carl, summon my prison guards to arrest her. Although she is the Luna, she has committed a grevious crime that is punishable by our law. As for this servant who had the nerves to sleep with my wife, he should be flogged thirty lashes of cane before thrown into the cell.""Father, I am sorry about what happened and to think that it happened on a happy day like this, I feel so ashamed. Happy birthday, father." I
Ashley's POV"Beta Carl, summon my prison guards to arrest her. Although she is the luna, she has committed a grevious crime that is punishable by our law." It kept reaching my ear and a single tear fell down my cheek as it felt like my heart was being ripped out of my chest.I know I did wrong in the past and I am willing to accept my punishment but I can't accept that he wouldn't trust me as his wife who would never cheat on him.Why me? Why am I on the receiving end with no good thing? What have I ever done to deserve this? I wanted to scream and shout at Luciana.How could I not know she was the one behind all of this after what happened yesterday?" She deliberately drugged me, set me up with that servant and betrayed me.Lola my wolf howled in pain in my head and I doubled over in pain clutching at my chest. I suddenly felt nauseous and bent over the floor with my hands over my mouth.Am I not well? A stench hit my nose at the corner where I sat and I quickly concluded that it m
Ashley's POVI couldn't believe my ears. Pregnant? I knew she is mischievous and evil but how dare she call my child a bastard.But this was not the time to leap on someone as my head was spinning. The figures in front of me tripled and I blacked out. What keeps happening to me?Splash! I jerked up, waking up with my clothes drenched in water. One of the guards had poured a bucket of water on me in an attempt to wake me up.As I opened my eyes, I noticed Luciana was no longer in the cell. Two maids came into the cell and one I could recognize as Julie the pack's midwife and nurse."Luna, please excuse me." She said bowing her head slightly before getting down to business. She examined me for a while before leaving. I was left all alone again.The two guards kept whispering by the door and although it was faint whispers, my wolf hearing was still alert. I could hear them talking about telling the alpha something about me."You shouldn't have done that. What if it complicates the issue
