Five of them look at Adom in a horrifying way, which makes him burst into laughter. Kids these days... Sam tilted his head, looking at Adom for a moment. "Were you in the military or something? Because their fighting style mimics something like it. It's far from the regular black belt kids in our school." The others agreed. Well, there are many black belt kids in their school; even Alex is a black belt, but damn, those two are really something else. "Yes. I was a Navy Seal in Special Forces. But I retired and went into the music business. I became a big producer for the circle, but after Jia and Jones gave up Ashly like she was nothing, I quit and started my own company. You may have heard of it. Ashly Inc. Whatever I earn in my life, it all belongs to Ashly and Allen if they want." "One minute, you mean Ashly Inc., one of the best styling brands in our country?" Monika asks with wide eyes, which make Adom laugh. "Yes, Monika, Ashly, Inc. is one of the best styling brands in our
Alex will take a deep breath and close his eyes. He will control himself; he will not let Alpha take him over. He wants their relationship to start with love, not lust. "Ashly I can't be in here. I need to go; I don't want to take advantage of you at this point, but I promise I won't be far. I'm going to get you some water so you can hydrate, okay? Please try to understand as much as I want to mark you; I really don't want to get beat up by your dad and Allen, and more like, I don't want you to hate me." Alex Alpha's cock was as hard as a rock, and his knot was about to burst through his pants. With Ashly's scent in the room, Alex the wolf was clawing at him, wanting him to take his Omega and make sweet love to him. "No! You can't leave me like this. Please, Alpha, please! Just hold me for a few minutes; the cramps hurt so much. Hold me." Ashly's voice was so hoarse from the screaming and whimpering. She needed water, but Ashly wouldn't let Alex leave the room. She never imagined tha
In the next two weeks, Ashly and Alex will have gotten closer after spending Ashly's first heat together. They even spoke about her next heat cycle. Meaning Ashly wants to complete the bond with no questions asked. Adom was thrilled that his daughter was breaking out of her shell and letting people in. He knows it's a really big step for Ashly, and he also prays to God that nothing will go wrong after he leaves the world. It's not like he didn't trust Alex, but he knows misunderstandings happen, and he also knows how hot-headed his daughter is. He just wants them to be happy, even after he's gone. The siblings have bonded since then as well. When Ashly talks to Monika for the first time and calls her sister, Monika starts crying her eyes out, which makes Ashly scared at first, but then she understands that her twin sister is a drama queen like her. She hugged Monika for an hour and laid her down with Type. Well, first she rolled her eyes dramatically, then she hugged her. Both Type an
Ashly always believes there are two souls inside the human body, one negative and the other positive. It depends on what you choose. It totally depends on you if you want to become good or evil. Well, talking about her work, the side of the white half of the wolf is shaded in black with beautiful white calligraphy handwriting. The white wolf symbolizes joy, peace, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, honesty, compassion, faith, and gratitude. The other side of the wolf is shaded in white with black calligraphy handwriting. The black wolf symbolizes that it's full of envy, anger, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, flash pride, superiority, and ego. Ashly placed another mural in front of the old one. It was a painting of a black wolf with red eyes licking the white wolf's face, with love written about it. Alex gasped at the painting. They were on a run with the rest of the pack. Monika must have ta
"So let's start," Ashly asked while smiling. Everyone at Sophia Backery, including Monika, Type, Sam, Simon, and Alex Sebestian and Allen look at each other and smile. "Ok, so let's start it when I transfer here." Flashback:- The moment Allen walked into her new homeroom back in fifth grade, she knew he'd hold her heart forever. He was tall and handsome, with his Adam's apple sticking out of his glorious neck. His skin was a bit tan, a typical indication that he's from a tropical Asian country. I was only ten back then, but I knew my true nature as an Omega. Allen POV:- I transferred to another country when my parents got divorced. I chose to live with my mom because she left my father because of me. Well, he is not happy to have an Omega daughter like me; she flew back home to her parents house with me. I was an outcast, probably because I had a weird obsession back then with books and encyclopedias while teenagers my age were into texting, dating, and playing soccer around th
Flashback Continue:- Allen was suddenly back in fifth grade when my whole world stopped as he walked into her homeroom. The difference this time was that he wasn't wearing a uniform and he had a can of cold beer in his hand. He still has that cold, hard stare, and his hair is still undone and messy in a good way. But he is still unbelievably gorgeous. Like a Greek god that descended to Earth. He walked like he was a runway model in a fashion show, and goddamn, he looked like one too. Allen POV:- I guess I was just used to it, but I acknowledged him by giving him the same cold stare, just like before. I remember hearing Rich chuckle. Rich never chuckled. He used to growl at me or spit on the ground just to rile me up whenever I was around. Why is he chuckling now? "Why are you both staring at each other like you want to kill each other?" Tian asked, his voice as innocent as a child's. "They kind of have a history," Rich said. I initially thought he meant that we, Sebestian and I,
Flashback Continues:- Allen POV:- If I wasn't dreaming at that time, then Sebestian was probably playing some tricks on me. They were probably playing truth or dare when I went out, and Sebestian dared to say all this sh*t to me. Or maybe they were having a bet. Maybe he already knows how I feel, and they made a bet to see if I'd give in right away. I was told by Tian that people who would observe me carefully would see the way I look at Sebestian. I remembered myself cursing Tian and the rest of his friends. "I'm serious, Allen. Why would I kiss you that night if I don't like you?" I turned to look at him, stunned. My mouth felt dry. "You remembered?" "Of course." "I thought you were drunk," I continued, still not believing what I was hearing. "I only had two glasses of beer that night, Allen. Who gets drunk with two glasses of beer?" "I don't know. You, I guess." "I said I wasn't drunk. If I were, I wouldn't remember how you kissed me back." "What the—no, I didn't;" I tried
"Then we started dating, and now we are happy with each other", Allen said as she finished the story about her and Sebestian. Everyone is amazed at what they know about their relationship. It's cute and heartbreaking at the same time. "Awww, Allen, why don't you tell me about this before?" Ashly pouted, and Allen laughed. "Sorry Ashly It's not like I don't want to tell you, but it's just you and me; we're both busy with our own problems. And I don't want to disturb you when you are making your relationship with Alex more stable." "Stupid Allen, remember, it doesn't matter how busy I am; you are always welcome to share your problems." "She is right, Allen; you are always welcome to share your problems with her. You don't have to give anyone permission," Alex assured her while kissing Ashly's cheeks. "I know Alex; thank you," Allen said. "I hope you guys don't ask any future questions about our relationship because, as I said earlier, it's no one's business." Sebestian gave all of
One look at you, and my whole life falls into line. "The moment I saw you, everything kind of fell into place. I knew there was something about you that made my heart stop a bit every time I was around you. And as you said, you feel like you can't breathe around them." I prayed for you before I called you mine. "Growing up with my dad, I always thought there was something wrong with me being an omega. I didn't understand what I was feeling. Then I met you, and everything finally made sense." I can't believe it's true sometimes. "After the moment I first kissed you, I knew that I didn't care what anyone thought about me. I went through so many years of hiding who I was, and with you, I was finally about to put the past behind me." I can't believe it's true. "I cannot believe I am marrying the man I love right here and right now. I just want you to know that I will always be there for you, no matter what comes our way." I get to love you; it's the best thing that I'll ever do. A
Sam cries with her, quieter, needing to spend comfort more than to receive it, his chest leaden with soreness, and he is constricted, but surprised, to find the beast slithered back to where it came from, letting him breathe a little easier. Monika has been quiet for a few minutes, but Sam just strokes her hair and back, giving her space. "Did you draw them because you couldn't talk to anyone?" Sam feels a surge of cold rippling down his spine, even though it's almost too warm inside, with the sun streaming in through the windows. "Yes. I'm bad at writing and talking about how I feel, so I draw." He inhales Monika again, taking comfort and strength, reminding himself that he has no reason to keep hurting in silence. "You're not bad at it. When you do, you're not. You just have to do it more." Monika moves back, forcing Sam to open his arms, his head moving up, following Monika standing. She offers a hand to Sam. "It's uncomfortable here; let's get into bed." Sam smiles softly,
When Sam moved in, he stored a few things in the barely furnished room next to their bedroom. Monika never figured out what to do with The black box caught her eye that day, but Sam pulled her into a hug and kissed every thought out of her. She was so happy to be living together that Monika forgot all about it. Sam is cooking, and Monika is bored—or, rather, avoiding reading another bland work report—so she showers, puts on some casual clothes, earrings, the new necklace she got from Sam, and a couple of her favorite rings, and wanders a bit back and forth. As she passes the room, she suddenly halts, looking at the door. She's clueless as to why the box resurfaces in her memory, and she could just ask Sam about it, but what kinds of secrets could he have in there he wouldn't want Monika to see? Monika scoffs at himself, opens the door, and finds the box gone from where it was on the shelf. Odd. She looks around the room, but she can't find it—the only thing that hasn't been there
"I do. I miss you, baby. So much. So fucking much. So damn much." Monika chuckled as she relaxed against the embrace. He knew it was too early, and he promised to take things slow, but he couldn't help himself when Monika was the one who initiated the move. He slowly snaked his arms around her waist and snuggled his head around Monika's neck. He felt her sobbing lightly, and he let her be. He himself wanted to cry over what's happening right now. He was waiting for months—years even—to touch Monika again, to see her, to hug her, and now that it's finally happening, it's too much for his vulnerable heart. "I love you, Monika." Silence. "And it's not the platonic kind of love. I love you more than that." "No shit, Sherlock," Monika muttered, and Sam laughed so loudly at the latter's reaction. "What? You really believe I'll pretend to be in a relationship to prevent my manager from interfering with my partner or my career? I did that because I wanted to be with you," Sam shoved playf
Flashback:- "Happy birthday, baby!" They were in the Monika room. The girl was celebrating her birthday, and her uncle arranged a special birthday party so she could spend the day with her friends. It might be Monika's big day, and she should be spending it with her family, but she doesn't mind having birthday friends too; she loves her family so much, and she knows that without them, she wouldn't be where she is right now. Sam was also there to celebrate with her. He was supposed to be a special surprise for her, yet Sam, thanks to his loud, unstoppable mouth, accidentally slipped this information when he was talking to Monika, so instead, he'll be a surprise guest to her uncle, who is already waiting outside. "You can't see the bride before the wedding, Sam!" The birthday girl gasped playfully. Sam was wearing a black and white button-down shirt and some fitted jeans, while Monika was wearing an all-white dress—the perfect outfit for a wedding ceremony. "If you and I are married,
The junior staff's little stunt caught Monika's attention the most, and she tilted her head to see Sam just sitting there, his face contorted and, most of all, confused. She stared at him too, and just like everyone else, she was waiting for his next move. Sam knew he couldn't escape this situation, so he took a deep breath before putting down his cup of cold soda. He stood up and nervously pulled on his clothes before walking towards the crowd where his friends were. His friends parted and cleared the path for him, and without them on the way, he could now perfectly see the face of the woman who had been taunting his daydreams and was visiting his mind once in a while. Once he was a few feet away from the woman, he shifted his eyes to his friends. He was afraid to meet the pair of black eyes that were already looking at him, but he needed to. "Hi," Sam croaked, his voice a little bit pitchy and high. He cleared his throat before trying again. "Hi," he said once more. "Hello, Sam," M
"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday to you!" Ashly was holding a large cake in her hands and walked through the door as Adom's friends sang him his birthday song with Alex and their friends, including Allen and Sebestian. They were going to surprise Ashly and Alex. Today Ashly and Alex are waiting for many things, and they just pray to God that everything will be fine after today. Everyone will be happy and move on from pain. It was Adom's official seventh birthday, and Alex and Ashly held an exclusive house party for their adorable son. "Happy birthday, my adorable panda!" Ashly grinned widely at the celebrant. "Make a wish already and blow out your candle. This cake is really so heavy for me to carry." Adom laughed adoringly at his mom, nodded, and closed his eyes. Everybody was silent as Adom made his wish, and everybody cheered when he blew out the candle. Both Alex and Ashly pressed a soft kiss on their son's cheeks
She always feels it in her stomach. hollowing anguish, coiling around her guts, taking up every space, rough and sore. It’s shock at first, smothering all other emotions. Shock is followed by betrayal, anger, and cold-hearted resolve. Tears keep falling and falling, wetting her hands, clothes, her phone, and their smiling faces. Then she thinks it’s clear enough. He has a new love and a new life, and isn’t it better and easier if he doesn’t have to explain anything to her? The photos disappear in the bin, and she’ll pretend it was never hers to wear. He doesn’t want to hear it anyway. Not a word, not a single one, not from her mouth, not in her voice, not while seeing her face. Never again. Monika understands everything now. It all makes sense. She can get over it; she will; she’s done it before. She can’t get over it. She takes out the pictures from the bin before anyone can get rid of them, and she keeps them in a box even when she moves. She drinks too much to drown out the
Everything is going well in Ashly and Alex's lives. They fell into something of a rhythm, going to work together during the week, coming home and having dinner with Adom, and putting him to bed. On the weekends, they had family time and took Adom to the park, the aquarium, or just to the grocery store with them. It had been so easy to insert himself into their lives. Alex was almost afraid that he was dreaming, and when he woke up, he’d be on the other side of the world again. But every time he woke up now, Ashly was beside him in bed, usually curled up in Alex's arms and drooling against his chest. It's really felt so good. It was a fantastic way to wake up. The company merger was nearly finished, as Alex and Ashly planned. Alex had tentative plans to step down as CEO if he could convince Ashly to take him on as a personal assistant. So far, Ashly thought the idea was ridiculous, but Alex was fairly confident he could talk her around. And he really wants to be around his mate all
