"Oh, do you? What if I withhold that from you? What are you going to do?" There was a challenging glint in his eyes.

This bastard!

"The Alpha wouldn't approve of it," she said through her gritted teeth.

Amusement was present in his tone while he raised one of his eyebrows and questioned, "Are you going to complain to him that I am forcefully keeping you locked up?"

If Ashlyn could, she would have given him a good beating. It felt absolutely unfair and embarrassing to her how he knew her so well. Due to many reasons involved, she couldn't tell her brother about it.

"I am the Commander," she vocalized.

He thoughtfully nodded his head and voiced out, "Right. I can't keep you back from your work, and at the same time, I will be anxious the moment you are let out from my sight. Shouldn't we reach a middle ground?"

She frowned, pretty sure she wouldn't like the idea.

"And that is?"

With that, he got up from the bed. Ashlyn sat, and her eyes followed him when he reached out for a box on th

But when that friendship came to an end, so did the relationship between Claire and her became weak. Nevertheless, this did nothing to change the respect she had towards the woman.She slowly said, "I apologize."Claire shook her head and voiced out, "You must have had your reasons, dear, but please try to accept my son. I know he has a lot of faults and hurt you. However, isn't it time to put the past back? He has been wanting to meet his mate for the longest time."Ashlyn knew that rather Elijah, it was his parents who wanted to see him settle down for the longest once he found his partner for life. That's why, withholding this information from them made her

    When Ashlyn thought the man will leave after being bored, she had been proven wrong. Taking a last bite of her bread, she wondered what he was doing inside her room for so long.Upon entering the room, she heard the sound of shower running from the washroom, and it made her walk towards the door. The scent of his that flowed out.Why was he taking a shower here?Getting irritated, she banged her hand on the door and shouted, "Get out!"But her voice was met with no response, and on that, she began to pound harder on the door, almost about to break it down.But before she was able to leave behind a crack, the door opened. Stepped out Elijah, and the close contact between them immediately caused her to step back.She was about to yell at him when her breath got caught in her throat at his attractive appearance. His hair was wet, and a towel hung around his neck.His white shirt had first few buttons open, giving her a glimpse of the figure. This made her cheeks burn up, her thoughts tra

    The signs of hurt and anger on his face made her heart soften for split of a second, making her feel as though she was throwing a tantrum for no good reason.But her expression hardened, recalling what she had to endure for all these years. On top of that, he hated and felt disgusted with her until he learned of the existence of the bond."Hiding the fact that you were my mate for years, using pheromone changing pills, and then, attempting to reject your mate not once but multiple times— how heavy do you think your punishment would be?" he voiced out."Let the Alpha handle my punishment then. I would rather be stuck in the prison than being with you," Ashlyn spat hostility.He smiled mockingly and responded, "Too bad, you don't have the privilege to choose. Since it would be too cruel for Alpha to punish his own sister, I will take care of it. My mate, I don't want anyone else to take care of you."There was a sign of bone-chilling possessiveness in his eyes, and instead of being turn

    His upset mood that followed learning this information caused the atmosphere to turn tense, making Leah feel pressurized.She swallowed thickly."Withholding this information, are you aware of the punishment, Leah?" Elijah questioned.Frightened upon hearing that, Leah's eyes inadvertently went towards her friend.After that, she bowed and said, "I am sorry, Beta Elijah.""Leave her out of this. She was under my orders. Go now, Leah," Ashlyn spoke out.This made her cautiously look at Elijah who gave her a stare of dismissal. This made her feel relieved, knowing the longer she stayed there, the closer she would be to suffocating to death.Giving Ashlyn an encouraging gaze, she was hurriedly out of the place.Ignoring the Beta, Ashlyn concentrated on eating, and to her relief, Elijah did the same as well.°°°Because of all the pent-up frustrations inside her, Ashlyn was brutal and ferocious during training today. Few of the warriors were sent to the infirmary due to the brunt of her a

    Stepping out of the shower, the first thing she did was to stride over to the Beta, and the next instant her fist connected with his cheek when he turned back to face her.The impact made him stumble back, but he didn't fall.But that didn't satiate the anger inside her. Raising her hand, she was about to attack him again, but this time she didn't have the opportunity to do so. He grabbed on her hands.Glaring at him, she raised her leg and connected her knee with his stomach. A wince left his mouth.But before she could harm him further, he turned her the other side. He wrapped one of his hand around her torso, keeping her hands locked in place. His other hand lingered on her neck.A threatening growl left her mouth. Brushing back the hair from her shoulder, he pressed his nose on her neck, taking in her scent. The touch made the hair on her body rise as chills travelled down her back."You smell so good," he commented, "those bastards smelled disgusting on you."This made her under

    The car ride had been bumpy and unstable. The path wasn't smooth. On top of that, Ashlyn's driving was rushed and reckless. Innumerable times crashing into surfaces due to it.She was taking out all of her anger through driving.Although Elijah managed to hold it in, Elaine's inside churned from the ride. Her delicate constitution made her feel sick, and her features paled. She wanted to throw up badly.But she managed to hold it in, afraid of provoking the raging Ashlyn further.Fortunately for her, it took less than an hour for them to reach their destination. The first thing she did was to step out of the car and empty her stomach, vomiting behind one of the trees.Seeing that made Ashlyn scowl and harshly comment, "How weak and pathetic."Elaine looked at Ashlyn with hint of embarrassment in her eyes. Drinking water from the bottle in her hand, she softly said, "I am sorry."Ashlyn shifted her gaze away.After that, they entered the Redfur pack. They were welcomed personally by t

    The next few days passed by with them visiting other packs. During this period of time, Ashlyn's patience had been tested countless time before a new limit had been reached.As for Elaine, she had adjusted to the rough travelling. She tried to reduce her presence as much as possible in order to not provoke the already frustrated Ashlyn.But Elijah didn't share the same consideration as her.The man acted as though he made it his prime goal to rile Ashlyn up, trying to get her to explode. It amused him to see Ashlyn lose control.He pinched her cheeks, ruffled her hair, and even suddenly kissed her at various spot. That was the least of the annoying things he did.And Ashlyn remained helpless against his moves.However, to her horror, thinking how they will be going back to the pack soon caused her to feel emptiness. She had a feeling she would be missing these days.This made her bump her head against the steering wheel, trying to convince herself it was wrong to think in that directi

    The car broke down in the middle of the town. Ashlyn tried to fix it only to make more mess out of the vehicle's system. Even Elijah wasn't able to set it right.And she knew that this will end up in her book of debts.At this point, she didn't care about how much she owed, knowing the amount was mountain high. It's not like she will be able to pay it off ever with the rate debt was created.She was simply being realistic.As a result, they standing in the middle of empty road at three in night. There was not a soul in sight, and eerie silence surrounded them. Occasionally, howls and barks can be heard, accompanied by the cries of cats. The cool wind blew, moving their hair along.The street lights stuttered, and brightness emitted barely lit up the surroundings. But due to their sharp senses, this didn't prove to be an issue for the werewolves."It's too late. Let's rest at a hotel," suggested Elijah.Ashlyn showed no resistance this time around.For the entire week, she had been mo

    Although the state of the pack was devastating, they were holding off better than what they had originally anticipated. The casualties suffered on their side were much less.After Ashlyn killed another one of the pack's leader, she tried to mind-link Samuel, deeply hoping that nothing had happened to him. However, she wasn't able to get connected to him.There were no signs of him around here according to the pack warriors.Also she hadn't heard anything from her brother as well.Elijah had dealt with a fair share of werewolves as well. He looked exhausted as he took the moment to catch his breath."Matthew should be where the Alpha went," Elijah expressed.Ashlyn nodded."There isn't nothing much to do here other than the cleaning up. That's why, I will go and look for the Alpha," Elijah expressed."Do that then."Elijah patted on her head before disappearing.°°°Sebastian held his mate in his hand protectively. Her breathing was weak, and she was unconscious. She was covered in wou

    When Samuel learned that they were going to attack the pack tomorrow, he was beyond shocked and sent into panic. He thought that at least they would take a week or so more.They explained the plan to them, and all the pack members were under their mind control. All of them were stimulated enough with drugs to stay awake for at least a week straight, and the dosage will be increased during the fight in order to unlock their full potential.In order to not seem entirely suspicious, Samuel took the drug a couple of times, and he could feel how powerful it was. It took all of his will to not let himself be controlled by the drug. There were times he felt he was out of his senses, but his willpower was strong enough to allow him to maintain his consciousness. The way it provided him energy, he could understand how draining the drug will be on his body, and once he is totally hollowed out, there is nothing else other than death for him.Everyone was administered the drug for today, and Sam

  • Being Beta Elijah's Mate   Cry

    Ashlyn and Elijah imprisoned Daniel and the other important members of the pack and questioned them about the information. At first, they had tight lips, but the threats from both Ashlyn and Elijah got them to open their mouths.Although their words were filled with lies, it was easy for Ashlyn and Elijah to recognize them. That infuriated Ashlyn further, and she took out her anger at them in the most brutal ways.Most of them were half dead and senseless by the time they extracted the information, and it could be seen that Matthew was conservative on how much information he shared with them.According to what Daniel knew, Matthew approached them and offered this cooperation. They had no choice but to agree because not only did Matthew threaten them, but also promised them glory and protection. They were helpless and had to agree.Half the time, Daniel called them tyrants for acting in this manner while on the other hand, he begged for forgiveness and wanted to be spared. Ashlyn had

    When Daniel offered them to stay the night in the pack, Elijah and Ashlyn didn't refuse, believing that would allow them to inspect the pack more.Once the dinner was done, they were led to their rooms. Ashlyn and Elijah shared a room whereas Rose had hers. Both of them didn't care much about Rose being alone although the Alpha ordered them specifically to make sure that their Luna is fine.Ashlyn was too disgusted to face her and wasn't sure if she would be able to control her emotions. And it's not like anything would happen to her in this pack.In the dead of the night, Elijah and Ashlyn sneaked out and searched around the pack's vicinity, trying to find anything important. There was nothing much found.But they noticed the strict security system, which was odd given how the members in the pack lacked training and resources. And most of the pack members remained in their houses. There was a sort of gloominess present.Other than that, there wasn't much important clues, and they did

    Three of them set off for the Dream Pack with Daniel the next day. The Dream Pack was situated pretty far from their pack, so it took them quite a while to reach.Once they reached the pack, they could see how the pack was noticeably smaller than other packs, and there wasn't much population as well. It seemed like a pretty inconspicuous pack, and it made sense why Matthew would choose this pack to hide at.They were warmly greeted inside. And as they were being led towards the pack house, Ashlyn looked around, trying to find any suspicious signs. However, everything appeared pretty normal.Most of the children showed fear towards Ashlyn, and they stayed away from her presence. It can be seen that her reputation had spread here.Once they were in the pack house, they were given meals, and after they rested for about half an hour, Elijah and Ashlyn asked the Alpha for a tour of the pack. They wanted to discuss some matters as well.At the same time, Elijah warned Rose: "Be here. Don't

    "No matter how much I think about it, it doesn't make sense for the Alpha and you to agree along with cooperating with Dream Pack. There has to definitely be a reason behind it," Ashlyn commented, waiting outside of the Alpha's office with Elijah.Her brother, Sebastian, was having a talk inside with Daniel Waters. Seeing how long the conversation between them was going on, it genuinely made her wonder whether there was anything this worthy to chat about. Of course, Elijah was instructed to keep an eye on Ashlyn and keep her out in case she ran her mouth randomly and acted a little too disrespectfully. And no matter how curious Ashlyn was, she wasn't able to able to have a peek into their conversation.Elijah stared at her with amusement in his eyes."What makes you think that?" he questioned.She slapped on his arm and ordered, "Be honest or else I am going to be really upset.""When was I not being honest? You can't keep on falsely blaming me and ruining my reputation. I need a com

    Ashlyn and Elijah stepped out of the room, leaving the rest of the troubles for Sebastian to deal with. Sebastian was calmer and more collected than them. He will be able to ease the situation well without being taken advantage of.Elijah bought two ice creams and handed over the chocolate flavored one to Ashlyn. Ripping open the cover of the ice-cream, she took a bite out of the cream, making Elijah almost cringe at the scene."How are you feeling? Have you calmed down?" Elijah asked."I don't know. I should have felt better if I managed to get a few lives on my hand. It's a pity," she commented.Elijah nodded, agreeing along with her statement."It's not too late to go back and end their lives if you feel like it. I can help you," Elijah offered.A slight smile appeared on Ashlyn's face."It's weird to have you on my side. It's the first time you didn't get mad at me for acting violently. Usually, wouldn't you call me short-tempered and rash?" Ashlyn said."Wasn't that because I was

    Although the Alpha of the White Flame pack was frightened at Elijah's threat and could see that he very much meant to do it, he knew that he had to maintain his momentum. Knowing that almost everyone in this room was on his side gave him a boost of courage.No matter how powerful Elijah was, it's not like he could actually go against him here in front of everyone.He had to give him some face.Slapping his hand off the table, the Alpha tried to maintain his bearing and stood up straight, shouting, "How audacious! You are just a Beta! How dare you try to disrespect an Alpha? You should be punished for your actions."Elijah gave him a mocking chuckle."What a joke. Do you think there is any meaning to leading such a weak pack?" This caused the Alpha to be at a loss of words.Sebastian stepped in to rectify the situation and vocalized, "Elijah, that's it. Don't go too far."The other Alphas were about to gloat how even Sebastian had to put them into consideration when he added, "Ashlyn

    The next day, emails were sent to the couple of the pack alphas. At first, they were all skeptical of the sudden message sent, and knowing how their email was only shared within a certain circle, they thought that the email should be of great importance and opened it.The title of the email attracted them as well.'If you want to save your pack.'Currently, all of their packs have been going through great turmoil, and they were desperate to keep both the pack and the pack members safe. Even if this could potentially turn out to be a prank, they didn't hesitate before clicking the email.What's the worst that can happen?The content of the email was well written.It started with how this was written on the behalf of the northern packs and stated how they were apologetic for the recent massacre that happened. Apparently, it wasn't in their intentions to bring them such troubles, and this was the result of their failure and helplessness.Although the mail was trying to express humbleness
