Inside the sacred hall, almost all the important members of the pack had already gathered. Everyone was anticipating what the pack patriarch was going to announce although others already had an inkling of what was going on. It has been long since they were summoned to the sacred hall. Because that only happened when there was extremely something important to announce. Kevin was really excited on the inside while, Leonard, Kelly's father had a gloomy expression. He did not understand what came over his old man. He had talked to him several times and told him not to hand the pack over to Kelly but it seems like the old man was adamant about doing so. Now that they have reached this stage, he felt like there was nothing he can do. He was in fact planning to leave the pack first thing tomorrow morning. He did not know if he will be able to stand his son's gloating look if he stayed. He felt like he might end up killing him “accidentally.” Kelly stood beside his grandfather with anticip
"I'm sorry darling, I failed you." Maya lowered her head guilty. If not for her spell, they would not have landed in this dammed place and Ashton would not have been able to witness his defeat. He would not have been able to see his brother betray him right in front of his eyes. Although he already knew everything, it was a different thing when he had to experience it firsthand. If she had known that she could perform magic and cast spells, she would have learned all kinds of tricks so that they would not be in their current predicament. “What are you sorry about honey? How have you failed me?” Ashton asked as he motioned Maya to go over with his hand. Maya walked over and immediately threw herself in his arms. She hugged him as she recounted what had happened since Ashton fell unconscious and how they found themselves here. It was then did Ashton know where they were. But he was surprised as to why Andrew did not let him be taken to his room. This was like their family. Before As
Inside the sacred hall… After making the announcement, Gael staggered out of the hall with the help of one of his servants. Kelly did not even care about him anymore as he celebrated his success. He did not even remember that his grandfather could not walk on his own. All that excited him was the fact that he had already become an alpha. He had the family rod in his hands. Leonard left and followed after his father. He could not fathom his father's thoughts. "Father," Leonard called out the moment he saw him. They had not gone too far because Gael was walking at the speed of a snail. The person that was helping Gael retreated after seeing Leonard. He knew Leonard was Gael's illegitimate son but he was also one of the finest warriors of the pack who has been through thick and thin for the pack's survival. "Why are you here? Why aren't you celebrating with your son?" Gael asked after seeing Leonard. His voice was laced with exhaustion and he looked like he was about to take his last
"When did you come back?" Gael asked. "Today," Ashton answered simply. "Today? Why didn't you come to see me?" Gael questioned. "How could I come to see you, grandfather? Aren't you very much disappointed in me?" Ashton asked. And if I had come to you the moment I arrived, would you have stopped your idea of appointing Kelly as the next alpha and allowed me to resume my position?" He questioned as he looked his grandfather in the eyes. "Of course. I would have gotten rid of the idea. You know that this pack belongs to you. If I had a choice I wouldn't have done what I just did." Gael said. "Grandfather, everyone always has a choice. There is no situation in this world that leaves one with no choice. Whether we make the right or the wrong decision, it is always a choice." Ashton said. "Besides, you more than anyone, know what this pack means to me. It holds all my beliefs and everything that I have ever lived for. But now you are telling me that you had no choice but to give it a
Kelly moved closer to Ashton as if he was about to attack him. Although Ashton was still weak, he was not panicked when he saw Kelly move closer. He was an alpha, even if he was to be defeated today by his brother, he wanted it to be an honorable defeat. He swiftly moved Maya behind him and stood as an unshakeable barrier between her and Kelly. Seeing that, Kelly who was about to attack did not attack him right away. He changed his direction and before anyone could react, he was at Gael's throat and he already choking him to death. Gael could not react in time because his body was already so weak and he had not foreseen Kelly attacking him. He only widened his eyes in surprise, unable to defend himself. Ashton, Maya, and Leonard were shocked. None of them had expected that Kelly would actually attack Gael right in front of them. Apart from that, they were not far away from the sacred hall. Was he not afraid that he will attract the attention of the pack elders and the pack member
"Father it is good that you have made your choice. Now don't blame me for what I am about to do next." Kelly said. He then moved at the speed of lighting and with a swoosh, Ashton was sent flying a few meters away.Maya was startled and immediately run towards Ashton. "What are you doing? Do you want to kill him too?" Maya turned towards Kelly and asked. Her tears were already on the verge of falling."You have already taken everything from him, what are you not satisfied with?" Maya inquired. She knew that Ashton was still weak because he had just woken up not long ago. How could he be able to fight Kelly head-on?"What does a little bitch like you know?" Kelly spoke."Insult her again and……." Ashton tried to speak up but just like Leonard, he felt that he had at least a few broken ribs."And what? You can't even defend yourself now, what are you going to do?" Kelly asked."In fact, I would like to see how the woman that my brother sacrificed so much for just to be with tastes like. I
Maya was about to stand up and give Kelly a piece of her mind but Ashton took hold of her hand and stopped her."Why?" Maya's mind linked with him."He doesn't deserve your attention. Besides, I think that if you bicker with him, we will only fall deeper into his trap. Let him continue the act." Ashton said.Maya nodded and continued to hold Ashton's hand. She was using her magic to secretly heal him and he was starting to feel better. His face which had been drained of color was starting to have some life on it."Brother, do you have anything to say in your defense as to why you decided to kill the family patriarch?" Kelly continued his self-directed act. He knew that no matter what Ashton said, no one would believe him.No one had witnessed when he killed the old man apart from the four of them. And even if there was anyone, Kelly was sure that they would not dare come forward and tell the truth. He was now an alpha, who would dare go against him?Ashton closed his eyes feeling exhau
Ashton has led away to the special cell 'made specifically for him'. He did not know what was in those handcuffs, but whatever it was, it was draining the life out of him.Every passing minute felt like a century to him as he felt the life force in him drain out one bit after the other."What did you use to prepare this handcuff?" Ashton asked the person leading him with much difficulty. He felt that he could not breathe well after uttering that one sentence. Every step he took left him feeling like he was carrying one thousand tons of load on his shoulder. The guard looked at him sympathetically and said nothing. He had been instructed to look after Ashton and they were not allowed to talk to prisoners. Although he wished to help, there was no way he could go against his alpha's orders.Though in reality he actually had no idea what it was. But he knew that the more it stayed on Ashton's body, the more it will be hard for him to ever wolf out. The person had said that after twenty-fo
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
Chapter 58 Kelly and Lily finally left the pack together. After everything that had happened, their parents were tired and there was no one to stop them. 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
Chapter 57 She turned her head to look at Mark, only to find that he was sitting there with a calm face. It looked like he hadn't been affected by the words that she had just uttered. Lily felt despair consume her. Did this man care about her? Was the love he had been showering her with over the last few weeks all an act? "Oh, my God! So she is having an affair? This is big news!" 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?" Marcela was the first to open her mouth and ask lily, who was feebly leaning her body in Kelly's embrace. "It is just as you heard auntie, the child in Lily's belly is mine," Kelly said. He did not shy away no
Chapter 56 "Darling, you look gorgeous tonight. Why do I have a feeling, yeah you will look even more dazzling without that dress on?" Kelly said in her ear. 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!" Kelly cut off Mark before he could finish his sente
Chapter 55 Kelly returned to his pack but he did not feel as bad as he thought he would feel. Instead, he placed all his energy on his training. 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
Chapter 53 At the wind winders pack…... The preparations were almost done and the most anticipated day was drawing near. 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
