Chapter 62:
Aiden’s POV
“Is everything alright? What happened back there earlier? You scared us.” Nick said.
Ashira is now resting as well as Quillon. This is a long night and Ashira gave birth easily and faster than expected.
“Yes. Nothing was wrong. Go to Zynia and ask her to come in my office. I’ll head there and wait for her.”
Nick looked confuse and I know he have a lot of question in his head but I can’t disclose this to anyone yet. I will soon, I know.
I didn’t wait for Nick to say more and turned to go inside the office. It’s not too long and Zynia came knocking.
“Alpha Aiden.” she greeted.
“Please close the door, Z.” I asked and she did. “Take a seat.”
I grabbed a glass and wine for us, giving her t
PrologueAshira's POVWerewolves do exist. Before, it was just a myth. A way to scare the children or to keep the teens from going out too much.But it is real. Werewolves are real.I knew this because I am one of them. I'm living proof of the myth. I'm a She-Wolf.Humans don't know we exist. Not from the outside world."Ashira!" A cheery sweet voice took my attention from gazing out.My friend, Lucy, came running in my direction. Just like me, she was wearing a white thin satin dress that is just above the knee. We both are wearing wood-made sandals.If you're going to compare the way we're dressed, we'll look so weird despite the age and year we are in.We have no underwear inside the thin white dress. The wood sandals are even made by the elders of the
Cruz's POV"Ashi's on her way," I told my Dad, Eric. "I don't understand what's happening, Dad." My voice can't stop sounding frustrated.I was with my Dad on a pack meeting when Dad received a message from the enchantress through the mind link.He's the Beta. Every concern comes to him.Today was the Mapping where the She-Wolves who reached the age of eighteen will know where their mate is from.Something goes wrong with Ashira's mapping process. That's what I was sure of.We immediately drove home once we received the news."Let's wait for Ashira. She must be looking for answers, as well. Once she's home, we'll talk."My Dad said and he entered the door to his study. My mom, Ophelia, followed right after.My Dad is the Beta of our pack. Regal pack. Alpha David's son, Victor, will take over the p
Alpha Aiden's POV'We got trespassers.'My Beta, Nick, informed me through our mind link. Disturbing me from doing my thing.I growled as I pushed the She-Wolf who's straggling above me, kissing me hungrily. My wolf is in heat and it's so thirsty for sex these days... This girl on top of me is just one of many that I had today. Just as playtime. A way to ease my raging libido which is too eager to be pleased.The girl looked at me with a shocked face. Probably puzzled that I pushed her. We already fucked a couple of times and I can't feel any exhaustion. I want more.No, it's not the girl I that I want but... just sex.Still, Nick's news can't be ignored. I'm the Alpha of the strongest pack in this region. It's against me to prioritize pleasure over my responsibilities.And whoever trespassed my territory is brave enough to do so. N
I woke up from soft knocks on my door. Brushing my eyes with the back of my palm, I slipped on a robe and headed to the door.My head felt light when I woke up, feeling exhausted even after a deep slumber. I thought I can't sleep right away after the howl I had heard last night but my wolf is at peace, making me sleep soundly. None slightness feeling I'm near in danger.I was welcomed with a trolley pushed cart with food covered in cloche tray when I open the door. I can smell its delicious scent, almost savoring it. My stomach made a loud growl, making me feel how famished I was.No one was there. They just left the food behind. I pulled the trolley inside my room and closed the door, making sure to lock it again.'Food arrived, sleepyheads!' Someone mind-linked me and I was certain it was Ava. We are from the same pack and already met each other, being able to access the mind link.I guess she sent all five of us from Regal pack the same
"Never forget: You're always a villain in another's story."-jokerblade____________Ashira's POVOne last look at the mirror and I nodded to myself. I'm contented with my reflection. This is the best I can do anyway.I'm completely dressed up, ready to attend the ball. I fix my face with a light foundation since I'm not really a fan of it. I made my eyes in a light smoky black shade, just to emphasize my deep green eyes, and put some mascara on. I needed not to contour my face since its contrast is all in the right places, also-I don't know how to contour. My lips are in the shade of nude pink. My cheeks are naturally rosy and the thin foundation didn't cover it, so no need to put blush on.My hair falls straight in my waist not needing a straightener.I grabbed the invitation card, feeling my own life depends on this piece of paper, and
Thank you for reading this far!***His tight grip hurts my arm, making me flinch along with his dragging. I don't know where we're headed but we had passed the stairs, walking the hallway of the second floor.The loud sound of the music from the party didn't offset my heartbeat. Having him this close made every hair in my body stand, giving me such a newfangled feeling.I am relieved I found my mate but his powerful aura keeps making my knees tremble. I'm not okay with it but my traitor wolf is already submitting to his.'Stop being submissive! He hasn't claim us yet!'I nagged at my wolf but she just shrugged me off, I growled."I-I can walk!" I tried to make my voice tough but it came out in a whisper. I growled to myself, continuously nagged at my wolf.Aiden turned his head and looked at me, he didn't stopped walking nor let my arm go. His expression is somewhat in the middle
A lady in her thirties entered Aiden's office but I can't take my eyes off his back. I was not able to speak back to what he had said. I was left dumbfounded with the words I just heard.I'll never put my claim in you.Those words kept echoing in my ears while I felt numerous needle stabbed on my chest. I felt like I was poisoned by a venomous snake. My body's numb, my head feels hazy and my breathe hitched as I stare at Aiden's back. My wolf is in pain as well but its me who's taking most of the blow.I wanted to curse the bond between us. Not feeling its significance at the moment."My Luna," the lady greeted me with a low bow. She just acknowledged me as this packs' Luna yet my own mate think otherwise.Is he gonna reject me? He doesn't want me?Questions flood in my mind that I feel I'm going insane."Go with Aurea, she will assist you with everything you'll need. I don't want any male near you. Take that as a warning." A
I woke up embracing an unfamiliar feeling of emptiness. Only a faint smell of my mate is present in the house.He didn't come home last night.And there's a void inside of me that screams for my mate, for Aiden.My chest is heaving. Im starting to feel the need of seeing him and holding him. I want to wrap myself around him. This must be the second wave of the mate bond. Even if I don't want to feel this way, I can't control it.My anxiety towards the danger I may or may not be in, crept to me. Should I lock myself in his house until he'll claim me? But he said he would never do that. How should I live then?If some mateless wolf found me and claim me first before Aiden does, then I will be stolen from him. I was worried that might happen to me, I'm too attached with Aiden now. I can't think of myself away from him.Will all these affection fade once I'm claimed by another wolf?A part of me sides with the thought of being stolen

Chapter 61:Ashira’s POVIn spite of Nick’s motivation and hard work to held a pack party, he succeeded. After three days of preparation, the party is ongoing tonight at the pack’s clearing.Nick insisted for a wild party so he picked a bonfire theme in the heart of the Prime’s forest where booze and feast are served. I sat in the man-made stage together with the officials of the pack, and Aiden beside me.The pack people has started eating, drinking and dancing. Everything is so peaceful and they are fun to watch.“I got bored with this loud get-together.” Seth said out of the blue. He does look bored as he sip on his drink. Ava chuckled beside him.“You’re just no fun!” Nick said as he bob his head with the music. “Having a mate made you guys no fun!!!&rdq
Chapter 60Ashira’s POV“Just shift when the time has come… Please.”My tears pooled down my cheek. I don’t want to show him that I feel pity for him, I know that’s the least thing he needed to see. But its too painful for me to see him like this…“B-But I want to be the first one to hold him…”“You can still do that even on your wolf.” he responded, wiping the tears on my cheek.“But its different.” I pushed him and he didn’t resist this time. I looked him in the eyes and noticed that his eyes are red. He looked so soft, far from how he is and it pained me to know that I made him this way. If it ain’t for me, he wouldn’t feel like this.I tiptoed and pressed my forehead to his. Aiden’s hand easily gu
Ashira’s POVHave you ever felt waking up with a feathery feeling? I can feel like my body was flying in the air as if I don’t weight at all. It’s… so light. I feel so light.“It’s been three days. Why isn’t she waking up?”Aiden? Why is his voice so hoarse and tired? Did Nick stopped helping him out with the pack works and he was loaded with the job?I can feel a familiar warmth on my palm. I know this hand. I know every inch and warmth of this big hands. Suddenly, I feel like my hand was micro-sized in between his.“Have we been tricked?”That’s Seth. Tricked of what?Hey, why can’t I open my eyes? I feel light but too lazy to even open my eyelids?‘No. Please no. Come back to me, baby.’I sweat that was Aiden’s voice reaching me through our portal. I have hea
Chapter 58.5Aiden’s POV“I expected you to, Aiden.” said the Alpha King Zeron. “I will give you time to discuss this matter with your mate. I’ll be back in an hour and meet you and your Luna at this serene place.”Discuss this with Ashira? Should I…?“One last question, Your Highness, if I may.” I bowed my head to him as my jaw tightens. I didn’t gave it a thought to discuss this matter with Ashira, I know she will not like it because of the current state of her mind right now.She don’t believe me or anyone. She might think I’m the one who’s stealing her.“Of course, my brave wolf.”I looked up and saw him and his eyes smiling again. I’m beginning to think that when he tries to control his annoyance, he does that
Chapter 58: The Alpha King’s OfferAshira’s POVI never saw the Alpha King in person, no one does. And seeing him now, his aura full of… darkness and power, I feel my knees trembled.As if I snapped in my own thought, I bowed my head like Aiden did.“A-Alpha King.” I uttered in a trembling voice. He didn’t even do anything to scare us but I feel this way…“At ease, my wolves. I’m not here for harm, as I’ve said, I’m here to help.” his voice really makes everyone who heard it shake. I get it that his power is beyond anyone because of the combination of wolves of all continent under his reign but experiencing it right now in flesh is just too surreal.We lifted our heads and I was welcomed by an oceanic blue eyes. I haven’t seen eyes like t
Chapter 57.5: Arrival of the King (Part Two)Ashira’s POVTwo weekshad passed.I recovered a little from the pain of losing my mate. I got the hang of living in this pack and being with their Alpha, Aiden. He come and go from time to time but not a single day has passed that he don’t visit.We talk. I still hate him but we talk. I don’t know why I feel different when he is around. Its not a light feeling, I can feel my chest twisting with pain and wrath but something in me whispers that I enjoy his company.During daylight, I feel fine. Coping. Better. Not until the dark comes.I still cry whenever a picture of Elon pops out of my head but it often happens at night and it deprives me of having enough sleep. At bed time, I use all thoughts I have to think. And it
Chapter 57: Arrival of the King (Part One)Aiden’s POV*Slap!*I don’t mind the sting I felt on my face but Ashira’s slap also struck my heart with an intolerable pain. I was stunned and unable to move from where I stood, even my face won’t tilt back and my eyes has feared seeing her current expression.“You can’t fool me!”Even her voice has a hint of pain in it that my chest felt heavy and clenched. I tried talking to her about the truth again today. She has rested and slept outdoors last night and I let her be, trying not to distract her.I watched her sleep from far.I waited for her to wake up, asked someone to bring her some food. She ate. A little. But she was still dozing off and now she is crying. Mad, angered, lonely, and hurt. That is all I cou
Chapter 56: Stole youAiden’s POV“How dare you to come near me?” Her voice is trembling but I heard the hate and anger in it with clear emphasis.I never thought that the sparkling eyes I adored will ever look at me like this. Like I’m a monster. Like I shouldn’t even exist.Can’t she feel our bond at all?My mind is puzzled, its breaking apart. This situation is dreading, and the lack of solution or cure for Ashira’s case had increases the frustration I feel that leads to a building sense of lost on my part. The pain in my chest was the last thing I have on the list, or so I tried.Because if I don’t and just let myself get drowned from every sting I felt in my soul, I won’t be able to function. At all.“This is my pack.I make the rules.”
