I, Alpha Vincenzo Anderson, reject you, warrior Ashley Miller, as my mate and Luna. You are banished from my Enchanted Gardens Pack!” ****** Five years ago, her Alpha mate's rejection cast Ashley into exile. She was forced to survive among rogues enduring heartache, betrayal, and endless torment. But nothing prepared her for the cruelty of the rogue King, who punished her with a slave’s brand for refusing his lecherous advances, humiliating her in public. She was withering in pain when Alpha Vincenzo attacked the rogue pack and saved her life, bringing her back home. Consumed by rage and hatred, Ashley wanted nothing to do with the mate who once abandoned her. However, fate had other plans. A mysterious illness tied to the severed bond threatened her life, and the only cure was to reconnect with the only man she swore to loathe, the one whose touch still ignited her blood. Now living under Vincenzo’s roof as a maid, resisting the heat that simmered between them was impossible for Ashley. And Vincenzo, he intended on proving with every stolen breath and breathless stare that she was still his. Ashley wanted to abhor her ex. But whenever he touched her, murmured her name softly, claiming that she felt the same desire burning within him. Ashley knew the truth! She was never free of him! And he’d never let her go again …
View MoreAshley’s P.O.V.“I am the Alpha here. Every matter should be reported to me!”Standing tall in his Alpha glory, Vincenzo let out a loud growl, thickening the air with his dominant aura. It was like the room itself recoiled at his existence as he snatched the file from Dr. Thomas’s hand.“Alpha, we were about to inform you after checking on her. She is ...”He tried to explain, but Vincenzo raised his hand, silencing him. The room was engulfed by the deafening silence as I could hear my own frantic heartbeat drumming in my ears. I stared at Vincenzo in a catatonic stupor and prepared myself for the inevitable, enduring the unbearable pain in my body. My fate was in the hands of the overbearing Alpha in front of me. Just like the day of my mating ceremony five years ago, when he decided to kick me out of his land without a proper trial.Every passing second escalated my panic as I searched for a speck of emotion on Vincenzo’s cold face. It was impossible to guess his intentions f
Ashley’s P.O.V.I drifted in and out of consciousness, unable to make sense of the voices around me. It was like someone was screaming at the top of his lungs to keep me awake. But the warmth of darkness lured me into sleeping, embracing my wounded existence.“The patient is weak, malnourished, and traumatized. How is she alive?”These incoherent murmurs resounded in my ears as I woke up to softness slowly. The smell of medicines and bleach in the air immediately made me aware of my surroundings. I was in the hospital. But how?The medical facilities were nonexistent in rogue packs; injuries were the sign of weakness there. After years of cold and rot, how could I be in a proper hospital?My eyelids fluttered, heavy as stone, but the fluorescent light over my face stabbed into my skull like a blade. I jerked up, trying to sit and check my surroundings. But the pain tearing through my bones was sharp enough to make me gasp. My head spun as the pieces of memories came crashing to m
Ashley’s P.O.V.Attack?It happened so fast that I thought I was hallucinating, overwhelmed by the excruciating pain in my body. One second, the air was thick with mockery and dominance, relishing my suffering. And the next, it was pierced by a feral howl, so loud and deep that it made my bones shiver.The wind changed, carrying the scent of foreign warriors, blood, and vengeance. It took them a second to barge into the pack ground like shadows coming to life, cutting down the rogues with merciless precision. The sky turned red with fire and fury as blood sprayed across the clearing like crimson paint.Struggling to stand up, I tried to process the horrifying scene before me. The sight of the rogues being torn apart widened my eyes in disbelief. I watched through the haze of smoke and pain as wolves clashed, snarling and growling at each other. Being a part of such a gruesome fight was the confirmation of death for me.But the question was: Who had attacked us?Thankfully, I did
Ashley’s P.O.V.“Ashley? It’s you?”The tinge of shock in that shrill voice swiftly turned to anger as King Ralph’s wife, Sara, processed the sight before her. She growled at her husband.“What are you doing, Ralph?”King’s spouse seemed like the Moon Goddess’s help in this dire situation. I seized this opportunity and freed myself from the dumbstruck king’s hold, kneeling on the floor.“Please save me, my Queen. He was forcing himself on me.”My truth was countered by King Ralph’s claim, he spluttered. “This lowly maid threw herself on me, Sara. You know I only love you!”It was a well-known fact that King Ralph was a womanizer, sleeping around despite being married. He was hiding his true face behind the happy marriage’s façade. I was certain that Sara would confront her husband; however, the one eighty-degree change in her attitude took me aback. She directed her rage at me and hollered.“How dare you dream about my mate, slut?”Sara’s false accusation dropped my heart
