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
Tasting the blood of his beloved mate, Vladimir’s eyes were indeed bloodshot even the white part of his eyes was in a deep shade of blood. Ashlyn worried when she saw how bloody her mate’s eyes were already. Vladimir sensed that which made him stopped from sucking some blood over Ashlyn’s index finger. “Are you okay now?” Ashlyn asked in her worried tone that made Vladimir smile as he nod. “Are you?” Vladimir asked in return which made Ashlyn give him a look. “I asked first.” She smiled though with a playful hit on his arm. “I am.” he replied while smiling at the question of his beloved Ashlyn. “But… Woah, I feel light-headed there.” Ashlyn smiled but she suddenly got dizzy and Vladimir pulled her closer t
“Fate…but it took you long enough to be here…I’ve been through a lot…” she smiled but there was a bit of upset at the last words that she almost whispered. “Hey, I’m a nomad which made me could not stay for too long in one place…and besides, it helps us grow more.” Vladimir immediately looked at her and pulled up her chin to meet his eyes which already had calmed down. “Yeah…we grew more…” Ashlyn blushed a little but there was a bit of sadness in them. She still could feel the pain she went through whenever she found her mate - she loses them within a matter of time. “Kim, it's worth the wait…wait, am I worth the wait or did I come too late?” Vladimir looked deeply into Ashlyn’s orbs and then asked sincerely. “I won’t be accepting you as my mate if not. You’re not la
Vladimir might be showing any sign of reaction to what he just heard from Alpha Jace but he was surprised about it. It just made a few seconds of silence between them before the alpha speak again. “I’ve been noticing how you treat her and trust me when I said I used to do that to her mother as well.” Alpha Jace suddenly just said to Vladimir who looked at him before sighing. “And you’re not doing it anymore?” Vladimir wondered about their courtship even though they were already married. “Times keep moving.” The alpha just sighed with a smile on his lips. “Does love change as time passed by? I don’t think so.” he patted the shoulder of the alpha like they were old-time friends. “Vladimir.” Alpha Jace sensed
Being torn between what Ashlyn knew about her mate and what others did not bother to explain to her began to disturb her healing process. She could still recall how she bantered to Ruen about the sex of her mate which made her blush out of embarrassment. She even covered herself with her comforter since she doesn’t know how she will face Vladimir all of the sudden. “Tsk, where is he away? Why he’s not here if he was assigned to take care of me?” Ashlyn muttered to herself since she did not get a chance to meet Vladimir as soon as she woke up. Her mother was the one who brought her breakfast ever since she woke up after two days already and rarely did she meets Vladimir in her bedroom. It made her really lazy even more. Ashlyn was tossing and turning around on the bed like an uneasy child who didn’t know what to do next afte
Ashlyn blushed like totally red and Vladimir found it cute and was about to leave when she suddenly speak. “Can I leave my room now?” Ashlyn changed the subject which made Vladimir halt in his tracks. He glanced back to Ashlyn as if he was reading her like an open book and there he sighed because he knew that she’s been in her room for two days already. “Can you handle yourself already?” Vladimir asked seriously since he doesn’t want Ashlyn to be hurt in any possible way while she was still recovering. Ashlyn just confirmed it by nodding at him and he sighed. “Then let’s go.” He smiled and they both went out of the room. As soon as they got out, Vladimir headed to the kitchen to clean Ashlyn’s dirty dishes. As for her, she just went to t
Vladimir started grinning when Ashlyn asked the right question since he was happy about how his life turned into something meaningful and lively than being used or haunted by her past. “Ah, the abomination and immortal blood, Celestial Ceres from Moonlight Blood pack.” Vladimir smiled gratefully at the help that the lady gave him. “Oh, that vampire…” Ashlyn nodded because she knew that name around the wolf's kingdom. “So, now you do understand why I crossdressed. I didn’t mean to hide it from you. No intention at all.” Vladimir looked seriously at his beloved Ashlyn whose reaction was totally unreadable all of the sudden. It was just pure silence for a couple of minutes there and Vladimir was starting to feel agitated as he waited
Ashlyn took notice of the snickering laughter of her personal doctor, Ina over what she was talking about or better to say how she speaks toward the mateless lady. “He’s mine that’s what I am saying…and Ina, I don’t need to do the CT scan. I’ve fully healed already and you, crossdressing man, come with me.” Ashlyn was firm in what she was saying and bluntly claimed Vladimir as hers. Ina might be holding her laughter but she heard what Ashlyn addressed to her. After she insisted her mate follow her, Vladimir was totally speechless and only scratching his nape. He could not follow what was gotten into Ashlyn if the mateless lady with them didn’t say about Ahslyn’s mood. “She seems jealous.” the mateless lady commented that finally making Ina burst into her laughter
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
