Ashlyn and Ruen were surprised by the sudden change of air around Vladimir as if they were witnessing someone that they never met before. Yet, to Alpha Jace, he seems to find a very rare gem that could help their pack to be well secure but at the same time, he really felt familiar with Vladimir. He could see his old friend in Vladimir which leave him puzzled yet amused.
“ARRGGHHH!!!!!!!!” the first fallen rogue who Vladimir started torturing began screaming in pain whenever he dip his feet on the soaked flooring. It gathered their attention as soon as they heard it.
“So, answer me, what’s your name?” Vladimir asked firmly but the fallen rogue just gave him a glaring look before spitting to his face and then laughed.
Vladimir wiped it off and sinisterly grin at the la
Ashlyn went inside the house and immediately grab something from the kitchen Vladimir wasn’t sure what to do since she moved fast. As Ashlyn managed to get her ice cream, she immediately headed upstairs which he was not sure if he should follow. “Go ahead, Jace told me what happened.” Luna Serenity pushed him a little which made him sigh in worry. “Are you sure?” Vladimir wondered. “Aren’t you mates?” she asked while her smile never flattered. It was like she knew something. “But I’m a vampire and she’s a wolf…” he pointed out but she just shook her head. “We’re not living in the past, are we? Just go be with her and how can I not trust you…” she said and ever pulled Vladimir into her arms before whi
Ashlyn was watching over the bed of what her surveillance captured around the area where Tosh was being captured lurking around their pack recently. She was noting down mentally what she was seeing surprisingly while just watching the footage. “You’re using it.” Vladimir commented as soon as he entered Ashlyn’s bedroom after a knock. “Using what?” Ashlyn wondered what he was talking about. “Your ability.” He just simply answered as he put down the tray of food that Ashlyn would like to eat for her midnight snack. “Ability?” she wondered. “Hm, seems like you subconsciously use it without having a hard time dealing with some headaches.” He briefly answered which made Ashlyn glare curiously at him.
Ashlyn’s heart began to flutter when she heard that from her mate but when she heard Vladimir’s giggles, she have to punch his shoulder a little bit hard but not the usual strength when she punches his face. “You are indeed a violent woman.” Vladimir teased while he was rubbing his arm that had been punched. “Shut up and let’s head out.” Ashlyn rolled her eyes as she get up from the bed and looked one more time at the monitor of her computer. Before shutting it down completely. “Go ahead. I’ll just meet you there since I have to put this on the sink.” Vladimir said while he put back on the tray his beloved’s dirty dishes. “Fine and I need my Mom while discussing that. So, hurry up.” Ashlyn firmly said to him.
“Vlad?” Ashlyn called the attention of her mate when she noticed the silence radiating around Vladimir upon what he just heard. “Sorry, I’m just thinking and connecting the dots.” Vladimir snapped from his deep thought and smiled at them. “Can we hear them? We might be able to help you with them.” Luna Serenity kindly asked Vladimir to share it since they might be able to help him connect it easily. “Alright, we understood his sorrowful and tragic past with his mates. We already knew that it triggered his addiction to sex ever since he lost his first mate due to his father belittling what love can do. We already could understand that part.” Vladimir nodded and started sharing what he had already in mind. “It connects what he’s been doing with the omegas lately. I mea
“Okay, if you say so…” Vladimir glanced over his side to check on Ashlyn who was staring silently over the window causing the silence in their drive. “But what do you want to ask while we’re on the road?” he decided to cut the silence and let the serious conversation started. At first, Ashlyn didn’t speak as if she was lost in her own thoughts but when she sigh, she started talking. “I’m thinking about Tosh…I suddenly got curious about what you said earlier…why did he fall drastically just now? What made him fall deeply just now and why not before when he lost his first mate?” Ashlyn answered by telling Vladimir what was bothering her mind ever since they went on discovering a little about Tosh's past that her father knew about. “You?” A
As they went off the ice cream parlor, Ashlyn was totally steaming in anger and jealousy - she was just pissed off in general once again. Her emotions were haywire whenever it comes to Vladimir who was watching and sensing her in silence while finishing his ice cream. “So, where’s your company?” Vladimir decided to cut the silence between them while they were walking down the city street. “Oh, just across the street corner in front of the cafe.” Ashlyn just answered without emotion in her tone. “There?” Vladimir sighed and looked for what Ashlyn said before he pointed out the exact location of her company. “Yeah, let’s go.” Ashlyn nodded when she looked over what Vladimir was pointing at. “Lead the way.” V
Ashlyn noticed that there was something that Nisha wanted to say but seems like she could not utter those words just yet. She looked over at Vladimir and he knew that Ashlyn wanted to know what was running inside Nisha’s mind. He nodded and tried to read Nisha like an open book. ‘What is this strange pull with them? I know boss Ashlyn. I always looked at and admire her as my boss but whenever she kept an eye on me. I feel something strange…she was like a mother to me…ideal maybe? But I know it was more than just ideal…now that she holds me earlier…why do I feel safe?’ “Kim, she’s feeling something strange between you two…” Vladimir mind-linked to Ashlyn who smiled before she let go of the hand of Nisha and went back to finishing her meal. ‘I just meet Vladimir but when he stood up to p
Taking some ice cream with a newfound friend or maybe something more, Ashlyn can’t help herself but to watched Nisha carefully. She even wiped the remaining ice cream over the corner of Nisha’s lips before she giggles like an innocent child of Ashlyn. “What?” Ashlyn asked when she heard the innocent giggle Nisha that she kinda like hearing and made her smile. “Nothing, I just never thought our lady boss has her warmness that she’s hiding.” Nisha was smiling when she answered while she was eating her choco-mint ice cream with mixed nuts. “What do you mean about that, Nisha?” Vladimir wondered as he came back with two bottled water with him. “Well, Mom is a bit cold and firm whenever she’s working with us and nobody could say no to her. Whatever she said
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
