Ashlyn sighed as her irritation suddenly slipped away and subconsciously, she began stroking the hair of her mate.
“Vladi…” Ashlyn called as she lay down her head beside Vladimir’s arm.
‘Hm?’
“Can I sleep here? It’s calming me down.” she honestly said what she intend to ask her mate. Ashlyn really felt calm around Vladimir’s presence which really irritates her because nobody could make her feel that way until he came into her life that fateful rainy night.
‘You can since I can’t do anything to push away. My body was hibernating.’
“Can other vampires do this whenever they hibernate?” she chuckled at what Vladimir said but she still managed to ask what she took notice about what was h
The tick on the watch began to echo the silence of Vladimir’s room, when a small blow of the wind touched Ashlyn’s skin, she jolted and immediately woke up. She just felt somebody just kiss her cheek which made her look around before looking at her unconscious mate. She sighed defeatedly. “I thought you were awake already…” Ashlyn sighed but she slightly smile. She reached out her hand and caressed gently the face of her mate when something suddenly sting her head. ‘Where are you, Ashlyn?’ ‘Ashy, where did you sleep? You know that I can’t lie to your parents when you didn’t tell me where did you go.’ “What time is it?” Ashlyn groaned upon hearing Ruen and Ina’s voices through the private pack link.
Ashlyn was totally speechless at what she just heard from the conclusion that her father just came up with. But she could not easily process what just happened or there was something else in her mind that needed to be cleared out and Vladimir was the key to that answer. “That’s impossible, I never meet the blood prince before... and Dad, how come Vladimir knew about that?” Ashlyn muttered to herself until she asked her father how her mate knew about when it will tick. “That’s why I am trying to figure out their connection but it seems to me that I have to talk to him about it soon.” Alpha Jace sighed as he leaned his back over his chair and think carefully. “Yeah, we have to clear that out…” Ashlyn muttered to herself as she agreed with her father. She also wanted to know about it because she felt
As Ruen went downstairs to watch whatever anime he was interested in watching, Ashlyn on the other hand was about to tend to Vladimir when she sensed something. “What the…” Ashlyn was not sure what she was sensing all of the sudden but she definitely felt something was about to head into their pack once again. She looked over at her mate but there was no sign of Vladimir’s waking up until she sensed it again. She started to feel threatened and frightened all of a sudden as if there was something began to crawl underneath her skin. “What’s going on? What is this I am sensing all of the sudden?” Ashlyn muttered to herself trying to take a deep breath before setting it aside and going to the bathroom so she could wipe Vladimir.
Ashlyn entered the room of her hibernating mate when she sensed something strange once again. It made her knees weak and she was about to fall when her strong will changed it in one blink of an eye. She was indeed the alpha of their pack as she gathered her strength to fight the weird sensation that was swirling around the room. “Vladi, would you stop doing that.” Ashlyn groaned as she sat beside her sleeping mate. ‘Sorry, I’m just channeling what those rogues were after this time.’ “I’m wondering about that too but there was something I would like to hear from you.” Ashlyn sighed and recalled what they have to talk seriously since it was bugging her thoughts after what her father just told her. ‘Okay, what is it?’
Ashlyn made it to her playground which was in the woods without being noticed since she cloaked everything about her. Then she began to waltz around like she was dancing but there was something else going in every move that she does. “Hmm, it seems like it was still good to go but let’s add something.” Ashlyn mumbled to herself before she took a deep breath and released a tiny bit of her energy around the animal traps’ perimeter. “There, it will notify me if there was something threatening around the area.” She smirked as she felt so satisfied with what she had done there. She left a notification alarm through the energy that she put over the animal trap around the woods. As she was in the middle of what she was doing, there was another wave of heat that was heading toward their pack
Ashlyn was about to get hit straight to her face when a pale hand caught it and then heard the voice that she was longing to hear to her ears. “Nobody hurts what’s mine and live.” Vladimir firmly said as he protected what belong to him. He really did not like when Ashlyn was being put in danger. He was turning dark whenever it happened. It made her heartbeat increase and blush but it was not visible at the moment since they were in the middle of being attacked. “YOU’RE LATE!” Ashlyn slapped the face of her mate when she turned to her side where Vladimir stood firm and very protective of her. “OUCH! What’s that for?” Vladimir touched his face where the slap of his beloved mate landed. Ashly
As soon as the three of them came back to the pack house, Alpha Jace headed to meet his wife first and let the two go to the office. Inside the office, Vladimir was not saying anything to Ashlyn who was staring at him openly. Vladimir just looked stone-cold at her and Ashlyn glared before she immediately grabbed his collar. She was about to slap his face but did not do it. She just sighed defeatedly and went back to her seat across from him. “Why didn’t you finish it?” Ashlyn was a little bit taken aback when Vladimir asked her. “The last time I check you value your beautiful face…so that’s why.” Ashlyn shrugged her shoulders as she cleared that part and glanced at his reaction. “Hmm…” Vladimir just nodded and went to his cold shoulder facade yet, he stared deeply into Ashlyn which made her agitate
“DON’T CARE ANYMORE! I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR COLD SHOULDER!” Ashlyn glared with such anger and kept attacking him with every form of attack that she could ever think of. “WHY DO YOU CARE IF I AM BEING COLD TO YOU?! I DON’T EVEN MATTER TO YOU, RIGHT?! SO DON’T BOTHER!” Vladimir shouted back while he kept blocking his beloved mate’s wrath. “YOU ARE SO STUPID, MATE!!!!!” Vladimir’s eyes widened and almost froze on his spot but he was sent flying again when Ashlyn’s punch reached his face. “You’re so stupid…” Ashlyn stopped from her spot and tears were overflowing. Something was indeed bursting from within that she could not put any words to it and just cry over it. Vladimir coughed from where he l
It’s been 10 years already and everything was moving smoothly around the pack. Some old folks were now the ones whose being the pain in the ass from having stubborn sides while the teenagers were now growing up stronger than before. They have indeed qualified already as the protector of the pack but the Alpha and Luna’s family has another thing to deal with. ‘VLADIMIR YU-MILANO, OFFICE NOW!’ “Yikes, the alpha is mad.” Ruen teased Vladimir who was playing his nine-year-old daughter. “What did you do this time, Uncle Vlad?” Frans innocently asked Vladimir. “I didn’t do anything…gosh, why it always my pretty-handsome face always in the alpha’s hot seat?” Vladimir playfully ruffled her hair before stopping playing with her.
Even after a week of the wedding day and their intimate night, nothing much changed around the pack except that, Ashlyn’s strictness around the training was now being balanced by Vladimir. It made them breathe freely and enjoyed the training more but Vladimir couldn’t stay much longer than two months. He went back on his traveling. Along those travels that he took, he was doing business transactions and some were vacations with her family or the second honeymoon with Ashlyn. It was their routine until two years has already passed and Vladimir was forced to stay due to the news of Ashlyn’s pregnancy. He decided to be there at all costs even though he shouldn’t exceed the two months of stay in one place. Just by exceeding just for a week or more, Vladimir’s strength started to wear off which caused him to collapse or suddenly lose his balance. But i
Just right after their weird proposal, Ashlyn and Vladimir went on preparing for their upcoming wedding after a month of preparation until it was time. Everything was fully prepared and all set the only thing remaining was the entrance of the bride. It was the usual marriage ceremony, with witnesses gathered around, a priest or a pastor, nice flowers at the aisle as well as at the altar, and lovely music in the background. It was beautiful and magical until the music of A Thousand Years of Christina Perri came on playing, and the bride came in. Ashlyn was so beautiful and Vladimir couldn’t take his eyes off her.“What have you done to me, Kim…I love you so much.” Vladimir thought which he didn’t realize that Ashlyn would hear and made her cry.Ashlyn wanted to run into his arms but she didn’t not
“ASHLYN KIM YU!” Jace was shouting as he bragged inside the office where Ruen chuckled after handing Ashlyn some paper works. Wishing her good luck then leave them alone in the office. “What?” Ashlyn flatly asked while checking the reports regarding their borders and some neighboring packs’ issues with them as well the updates regarding the prosperity of their own pack. “You’ve sent five teenagers already to the clinic again and they were severely hurt this time. Their parents were already complaining about how you train their kids.” Jace frustratedly reminded his daughter about the intense training that the teenagers were facing with her. “It's not that bad, Dad. there’s no silver has been used in their training which soon they will encounter in their training.” Ashlyn answered with no emotion i
Ever since Ashlyn woke up from her slumber, she was still the same even though her scent was already shifted a little since she was marked by Vladimir. But they were still not fully mated and there were times her mind drifted into that thought which Vladimir jolted whenever it caught his attention. He’s a vampire who can read his beloved mate openly. “Kim, can you lessen the heat running wildly inside your mind lately?” Vladimir lowly whispered as he gathered their dirty dishes and placed them on the sink since they were having breakfast. Ashlyn blushed upon realizing what Vladimir was referring to and he earned a slap over his arm. Then she dashed out of the kitchen and he chuckled before going on helping around the kitchen. But at the same moment, Ashlyn calmed herself down and when she glanced over at her mate in the kit
Celestial Ceres began smirking as she taunting glanced over Vladimir before dashing off ahead of him. She was being in her playful nature and went on chuckling.“Yes, actually both clans asked me to check things around here. One, Alpha King was being wary about Tosh's case that’s why he sent me to snoop around about that status here. Second, my grandparents asked me to check on you since you came back to the pack that you’d helped once before you became a nomad. Not to mention you have some questions for me, so yeah, I’ve been killing three issues with one stone. Great, right?” Ceres chuckled as she began playing around which Vladimir has to run after her. He was still carefully carrying Ashlyn and not letting anything disturb her rest.“So, you’re going to make reports about your assigned tasks here befor
Ashlyn's body finally gave up as soon as she granted the wish of their target and especially saving her mate, Vladimir. Seeing the sudden collapse of his beloved Ashlyn, Vladimir’s fallen state was being taken care of and slowly retracted back into a sleep state. But he started to cry even though his blood prince's side was still activated. “I’m sorry, Kim.” Vladimir cried as he pulled Ashlyn into his arms very delicately. “It’s my fault…I’m sorry.” He kept apologizing as he even started racking his body while holding Ashlyn dearly into his arms - protectively. “I’m so for being late.” He went on as his tears can’t be held anymore. He kept crying and it was the first time he cried like that after he had lost his entire family. “I’m so sorry, Kim.” He p
As that conversation happened, something began to unblock from within Ashlyn as she could not take it anymore. She has to complete the last wish that Tosh asked of her and especially, she could not take how deep her mate would fall into his madness if she won’t do anything to save him. She was willing to risk it because Vladimir was not just a mate but her lover. She loves Vladimir more than she loved her previous mates that she lost. “Break the chains. Break the bones. Break free from fear in the heart. Vladimir needs me now. Argh!” Ashlyn gritted her teeth as she chanted that to herself as she tried to break free from the chains that were binding her to her spot. She was using the remaining strength that she had left within her just to save her mate and to grant a wish before death takes him. Ashlyn slowly was breaking free fro
Don't wanna let you down But I am hell bound Though this is all for you Don't wanna hide the truth Ashlyn was dealing with loneliness and the sorrowful mood of Tosh when she suddenly heard Vlaidmir’s singing voice. She knew for sure that he was falling deeper into his fallen side which only fueled the blood prince residing within him. ‘I hope you can hear that part ringing in my head, Kim.’ “I do hear them…you’re near me…” Ashlyn muttered through her thoughts when she heard them clearly. Yet, as her tear suddenly fell down from
