"There, that's better." Ashton nodded his head when he saw Maya look at him.

"Can you now repeat what you said to me on the balcony?" He asked. His voice was gentle and soothing to the ears. It made Maya's erratic emotions calm down.

"I said a lot of crap, what are you referring to exactly?" Maya questioned. She felt that this alpha had a strange personality.

"The first statement you made."

"The first statement I made?"

'Wait, wasn't the first statement I made the one asking him if he needed a Luna? Does he want me to repeat so that he can reject me again?' Maya thought.

She never thought that this man would be so mean.

"Have you forgotten? Should I help you refresh your mind?"

"No. Of course not. I remember what I said. But didn't you say that you were not the one who saved me? Why would I say it again?"

"I will only offer myself to the one who saved me," Maya said.

"Do you know in whose room you are now?"

"Yours."

"Right, it's my room. Who do you think dares to bring a stranger into the alpha's room and even summon the best healers of the pack?"

"Only the alpha!" Maya said.

"But why did you lie to me?" Maya questioned.

"I didn't. I was just teasing you." Ashton said like it was only normal to tease a beautiful girl.

"Do you don't have a mate?" Maya asked. The more she thought about it, the more she felt like something was not right.

How old was Ashton? He seemed to be in his late twenties and he was telling her that he didn't have a mate.

He was an alpha, a very powerful alpha.

But again the information she overheard couldn't be wrong.

So which is which?

"Didn't you hear everything? Why don't you offer yourself to me? I promise that I will only treat you better."

"Well…." Maya hesitated. She didn't know what had overcome her earlier to even utter such words.

Could Luna be a nobody like her? What if he ended up abandoning her as Mark did?

"I Will take that as a yes," Ashton said as he immediately drew her into his embrace.

He had wanted to do it the moment he stepped foot in the room but he did not want to scare her.

"Wait, did I agree to that?" Maya asked, confused. She was being hugged so tightly, I felt like he was trying to squeeze the life out of her.

"You are my mate whether you like it or not. You have no idea how long I have been waiting for you." Ashton said in a raspy voice. He was trying hard to suppress his surging emotions.

"Just like that?"

"Yes, just like that princess."

"Now go back to sleep. I will come to wake you up when dinner is ready." Ashton said.

He used some special abilities to massage her and before she knew it, she had already drifted into a deep slumber.

Ashton left the room. His steps were light and his mood was bright. No one could be able to comprehend how happy he was, but only he knew.

Finally, finally!

Maya slept until it was dinner time.

When Ashton came to get her, she felt like she was dreaming.

She tried recalling everything that had transpired and the more she thought about it, the more she felt like it was just a mere dream.

Why would such a powerful alpha take her, a jinx, to be his luna?

Maybe Maya didn't understand the importance of a mate bond but she will, later on.

"What are you pacing out for?" Ashton asked when he saw that Maya was walking absentmindedly.

"I just feel that this dream is surreal," Maya said.

"You still think that you are dreaming?" Ashton asked.

He then moved closer and planted a kiss on Maya's lips. Spark seemed to fly everywhere at the touch of their lips and Maya was momentarily stunned.

That…. was a feeling she never experienced before.

When she was with Mark, kissing only felt normal. Her body did not feel as excited as it was right now.

And that was not even a real kiss, it was just their lips touching.

"Let's go have dinner. This is not a dream, okay?" Ashton said.

Maya nodded her head.

"I will explain everything to you after dinner."

After dinner, Maya followed Ashton to his study room.

They were modern days werewolves. They did not live in the wild like wild animals.

They lived like normal humans and unless they transformed, no one will tell them apart from the humans.

They build empires and had businesses just like normal people.

Maya was directed to sit down on the sofa.

It felt like it was made from wolf skin. It was soft and smooth and comfortable to sit on.

Ashton had a huge desk. Papers and books were arranged neatly on the desk while behind the desk stood a tall bookshelf.

After scheming her eyes over, Maya could tell that most of the books were about werewolves.

"Don't you remember anything when you were young?" Ashton asked.

"Nope. Why would you ask?"

"I'm just interested in knowing you better!"

"Wait, how did you know I couldn't remember anything?"

"When I saw you being thrown in the lake, I felt my heart break that's why I saved you and since I didn't know you at that time, I asked Theo to do a background check on you," Ashton revealed. He did not hide anything from her.

"Ooh, I see."

"According to the person who saved me, he found me standing in the woods alone, with only a paper containing my name. I didn't know where I came from and I couldn't even speak."

"After being taken to a specialist, they said that it was due to the trauma I suffered when I was young but I couldn't remember anything."

"They even thought that I was a trap sent by the enemy, but as years went by and nothing happened, they let down their guard around me," Maya said.

"Do you want to remember your childhood memories?"

"Can you make that happen?" Maya asked.

"Although I feel like I have gotten used to living without them, it's not bad to know where I came from."

"Okay, don't worry I will help you remember everything."

….

A few days passed by since Maya disappeared from the wind winders pack.

According to the pack's intelligence team, her scent stopped at the lake shore and everything after that is a blur.

Mark did not believe even for a second that Maya would commit suicide by jumping into the lake.

Maya was an easygoing person. Although she has lived a hard life for the five years he was not around, she had not given up.

What happened this time? Why would she go missing on such an important day?

Mark had a lot of questions in his head.

But who would he ask? The moment he brought up Maya’s topic in front of Lily, she will go berserk, accusing him of still having feelings for Maya.

If he tried to explain, she will storm out of the room and go straight to his mother.

His mother would then give him a good scolding.

Lily, on the other hand, was afraid of being discovered, thus she had already ordered people to dispose of the guards who she had sent to deal with Maya.

If Mark found out what happened, she was afraid to even think of the consequences.

    After confirming that they were mates, Maya and Ashton spent almost all their time together. Maya was eager to know more about Ashton and especially her past while Ashton was eager to know the kind of life Maya had led for the last fifteen years. Ashton had assigned most of the pack matters to his beta, Theo. Everyone was happy to finally learn that their alpha has found his mate, but when they saw the frail-looking Maya, they were shocked. Others looked at her with disdain especially when they learned that she was already twenty and never shifted even for once. The ladies who were obsessed with their alpha Ashton would send her hostile gazes making Maya tremble in fear. She thought that if she were to walk alone around the pack, she will never come back alive. Those people would probably kill her at the first sight of her. But they were afraid to make a move as most of the time, she was always with Ashton, hiding behind his back. "Hmph, I have never seen such a weak luna. How

    Maya seemed to not have heard Ashton as she continued to stare at his back. It was strong and masculine. His wolf was probably big and strong. Although they spent almost all day together, Maya was yet to see Ashton's wolf. It seemed like Ashton was mindful of her feelings which is why he hadn't shifted even once. "If you don't want to go, then come in and help," Ashton said. He turned and looked at Maya with a gentle gaze. It was as if his gaze was some kind of hypnosis. Maya found herself walking towards him under his gentle gaze. "I thought that I could keep you waiting for over an hour. It seems you are really hungry." Ashton said as he drew her into his embrace. Maya smelled his woody scent complimented by the smoke from the cooking, making her heart feel a sense of security. "I thought that you got when I asked you if you could cook. I was coming to check and see what the chefs were making. I didn't know that I will get such a surprise." Maya said. "Am I such a petty per

    To help Maya recover her memories and her wolf, Ashton had to look for the witch who cursed her. Maya was his life savior and he could never let her suffer for even a second. Although he too had the power to make Maya remember everything, he was too afraid to take the risk. He did not want Maya to hate him because he didn't know how she would take the news. The only thing he could rely on was the person who was involved from the start back then. Although it has been next to impossible to find him, from the little clues he got, he has finally found the man. When his mother was pregnant, it was revealed that he will be born under an abnormal moon and that would affect his life and his wolf. As the future Alpha of the ash band pack, they had to do everything to ensure that he is born and grow up normally. He was to be born with a rare condition in the wolf bloodline which was a threat to his life. His mother had an option of ending his life before he was born or they were to find

    The two men didn't dare to dilly-dally and immediately left. Although they were older than Ashton, he was still their alpha and no one dared to offend him. They immediately flew for their lives because they knew that the moment they hesitated, they won't live to see another day. After the two people fled, Ashton returned to where he was hiding Maya. "Did I scare you?" He asked gently. "No, it's okay. I just didn't expect your grandfather to still be persistent about that matter." Maya said. "He is stubborn and likes to control everyone, but I won't let him succeed this time," Ashton assured. "I don't want to be caught between you and your grandfather nor do I want you to be forced to choose a side," Maya said. "Don't worry even if it comes to a day that I have to choose a side, I will choose you without hesitation. No one has the right to separate you from me again." Ashton said as he kissed Maya on the lips. "Let's go. I can feel that we are close. If we travel for another tw

    "Can you speak properly?" Gael tensed his jaws as he looked at his man. "We followed the young alpha to the northern mountains. We thought that we were discreet enough but he had already discovered us." "When he discovered us, we tried to reason with him that you are only worried about him and sent us to protect him but he did not buy it." "He had already found out our motive a long time ago. He ordered us to come back and inform you that he was going to see wizard Eliphas and no one will stop him." "Insolent! Bastard!" Gael shouted angrily making the house tremble from his voice. "Pat lost his life on the way back. He sacrificed himself so that I can reach safely and report to you." "His death won't go in vain," Gael said. "That is all my Alpha." "You can go now." Gael dismissed everyone and locked himself in the room. He thought about what happened back then and blamed himself even more. If he had not blindly trusted his son and his wife, none of this would have happened.

  • Alpha Ashton   Chapter 13

    It's been three months since Maya and Ashton arrived in the northern mountains to find wizard Eliphas. After three months, Maya was doing great and the curse was almost uplifted. Her relationship with Ashton had also made leaps and bounds. If in the past they have only been fond of each other then the past three months have made them realize that they were inseparable. They depended on each other for everything. On this particular day, as she was resting with Ashton under a tree Maya had a strange voice in her head. She almost jumped up in fright. "What is it?" Ashton asked in a gentle voice. "I heard something weird in my head now. Like someone calling my name." Maya said. Hearing her words, Ashton was delighted as a faint light passed through his deep blue eyes. 'At last, it was finally here.' He thought. "Try listening carefully and you will know what it is," Ashton said with a smile. Maya looked at him and realization dawned on her. "Could it be….." Before Maya could

    Gael called Kelly, he was his grandson and he was almost the same age as Ashton. His father was the eldest among his other sons and he at least looked more promising and loyal than the other others. When Kelly heard that his grandfather was calling him over, he was excited but hid his feelings well. He could already tell what the call was about. After all, his good brother has been gone for a long and the pack couldn't be without a leader. "Grandfather, you called for me?" Kelly asked as he pushed the door open. He was tall and built and had a wild aura around him. He looked sloppy with a careless attitude but Gael knew that there was more to what met the eye that is why he singled him out. "How is the pack doing at the moment?" Gael asked, he did not go directly to the point. "The pack is doing well. Everyone is just worried about their alpha, that is all." Kelly said. He could not say something bad about his alpha because he wasn't yet sure about his grandfather’s intention

    After Kelly left, he went to look for his uncle, his father's brother. "Uncle Kevin are you there?" Kelly called out. "Kelly, is that you?" Kevin asked. "Yes, uncle. Do you have time to talk?" Kelly asked carefully. "What is it?" "Grandpa called me today," Kelly said. "Your grandfather? What did he want?" Kevin asked. "He told me to take care of the pack for the time being since he doesn't know when brother Ashton will be coming back," Kelly said. Kevin looked at Kelly deeply. Although he was not his real son, he treated him as one. All his sons were useless and they spent most of their time messing around instead of contributing to the pack. Only Kelly had a promising future since he was more hardworking and talented than the average wolf. At first, they had even thought Ashton will take him as his beta but when he announced that Theo was his beta, Kelly was devastated though there was nothing he could do. His uncle Kevin told him to work hard to improve himself and maybe

    Chapter 60 Three days went by in a flash and before they noticed it, Ashton and his pack were already at the borders of the ash band pack. Their journey had been smooth and they had not faced a lot of dangers on their way. They only had some rogues and a few wild animals that pack members took care of with ease. Ashton did not even have to lift his finger. "If we go for about one hour, we will be able to make it in time before the challenge began," Theo told Ashton, who was resting with his eyes closed. "That is good. We will wait until they tire themselves out then can begin our operation." Ashton said. He knew that even if he did not use the opportunity to expose Kelly, he would still have a lot of chances. But he did not want to waste too much of his energy. Since he had such a great opportunity to expose himself to the whole world, he will not waste it. At the ash band pack fighting arena…. Although it was still early, the arena was already fully packed. Since they said that

    Chapter 59 “Alpha, it is time. Everyone is waiting for you.” Theo said to Ashton, who was standing at the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the setting sun. “Honey, you will do. I believe in you.” Maya who was beside him said in a low voice. “Mmh, we will do it.” Ashton nodded and lowered his head to kiss her on the lips. “Let us go. Has everyone gathered?’’ Ashton asked. “Yes, alpha. We are more than ready to set off.” “Good.” After gathering everyone, they decided that they won’t use the portals to travel back to the ash band pack. They wanted to run through the woods as they experienced the magic of nature. They had approximated that it will take them three days to reach the ash band pack. It was perfect timing because Kelly and Matthew will be facing each other on that same day. “Why don’t you stay and come with uncle Eliphas after three days?” Ashton looked at the woman beside him and asked. He remembered the first time they came to this place; they had spent weeks on t

Melissa was only filled with regret as she looked at her daughter. She was partly to blame for everything that had happened. If she has not pushed her daughter, maybe it would have turned out well. The happiest person was probably Kelly. He did not imagine that he managed to get the woman of his dreams. He did not know when it started, but for a long time, Lily had become her only source of joy. Every time he saw her, he would feel happy and blissful. Lily on the other hand was moving around robotically. She could not imagine that her relationship with Mark has come to an end just like that! Although she had found herself another alpha, the feeling was not the same. ….. "Son please open the door. Everything happens for a reason, and I am sure that wherever Maya is, she won't be happy to see you like this!" Marcela shouted outsi

Everyone in the house was dumbfounded. They never expected to come across such juicy news at this so-called pregnancy reveal party. The female lead was pregnant, but the child did not belong to the male lead. Everybody was shocked at the revelation. It was the female lead who revealed it herself! Melissa and Marcela came down the stairs at lightning speed. "My dear, what are you talking about?"

His voice was seductive but Lily felt cold chills travel down her spine. "Bastard, what do you think you are doing? Do you think this is a place to joke?" Look took a step back to put some distance between them and asked in a cold voice. "But darling, who said that I am joking? My everyone word comes from the bottom of my heart." Kelly said. He moved and was about to touch her waist, which made Lily's face turn white from the fright. "What are you guys doing?" A voice came from behind Lily which startled her so much. If not for Mark's quick reflexes, she might have bumped into the wall. "Alpha Mark, nice to finally meet you." Kelly put on a befitting smile and stretched out his hand naturally like there was nothing a miss. "Nice to meet you…." "Alpha Kelly, Ash band pack!"

Although he behaved like he did not care about the coming battle between the blue blood pack leader and himself, he did not take it lightly. He was only acting so that he could lower everyone's expectations of him so that when the time comes, he will shock them with his performance. He wanted the enemy to lower his guard and relax as much as he could, thinking that he, Kelly was a good-for-nothing spoilt brat. He also did not want to explain anything to anyone. Those who needed to understand will naturally understand. Days passed by and it was almost the day of the party. Lily had been feeling relentless about the whole thing. Since kelly left the other day, she has not heard anything from him. She had even sent some messengers to look for him but they had been told that he was in seclusion. It was also then that lily learned about his

    Chapter 54 Lily’s mind traveled on the day she fainted in her room…… She had gone to talk to Mark about something when she heard the conversation between him and his beta Jay outside the study room. She had been extremely shocked. She went to her room and threw a tantrum but she had fainted afterward due to exhaustion and when she woke up, she thought that she might have been dreaming. Because the first person she saw after waking up was Mark by her bedside tending to her tenderly. So, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that what she heard was all in her dreams. It was only a nightmare and she was scaring herself for nothing. If it was true that Maya was mated to Ashton, wouldn't she have come to show off already? Lily was sure that Maya would have gotten Ashton to take revenge on her as soon as possible. She had consoled herself by saying that it was just a dream, a nightmare… But the words that Kelly has uttered just now. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Lily lo

Every time Lily saw people moving busily around the house like bees for her sake, she smiled with satisfaction from the bottom of her heart. "Ahh baby, you knew the right timing. You saved your mummy just in time before she was thrown in the ditch!" Lily caressed her still-flat belly and mumbled. She was not ashamed that she was using her baby for her personal gain and satisfaction. Her parents had come back from their long vacation and even Mark's parents were present! During this time, they made her feel so important that she was almost drowning in their affection. If she had known that falling pregnant will make everyone fawn at her to this extent, she could not have waited until now. "Oh Maya, Maya, what can I tell you? Wherever you are, just know…… just know that I am very excited. I never knew that a day will come again for me to experience Mark's warmth a

    Chapter 52 After meeting with the elders, Kelly still maintained his stance. He was not going to back down no matter what the elders said. He was never an obedient boy like most of them thought. He had only been obedient when his grandfather was alive because he wanted to assure him that he could leave the pack in his care. He was not going to listen to anyone and he was bent on fighting Matthew. The elders have never seen someone as selfish as Kelly who did not even care about the people he led. All he cared about was his pride and nothing else. They were now starting to regret why they supported Gael in appointing him as the alpha. They were even starting to be suspicious after thinking about all the events that took place before and after Kelly was named alpha. They were well aware that Ashton did not deserve everything that happened to him, but because they wanted to maintain their faces, they lost such a good leader. They could only grit their teeth and pray to their ancestors
