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
Another day to start but between Ashlyn and Vladimir their days start off in a very strong way. Vladimir was being thrown upside down to the backyard garden within the pack house. Ashlyn was totally pissed yet the smirk on Vladimir’s face was not fading. She groaned irritatedly and went on attacking Vladimir with her strong fists and kicks. Yet, none of them were reaching his face. “C’MON, LET ME HIT JUST ONE TIME.” Ashlyn shouted as she kept trying on giving every combo that she could muster while attacking Vladimir but nothing was happening. “Nope. You already did once so, yeah, not gonna happen. You already hit my face so, no.” Vladimir smirked as he block or dodged whatever kind of attack Ashlyn was giving him. “ARGH!!!” Ashlyn was frustrated and made Vladimir
In the smash of their lips, Vladimir worries about his face when it suddenly went back into a wonder from Ashlyn's sudden gesture of reciprocating it. Their kiss was going deep and full of passion but they both need some room to breathe which made Vladimir lean his forehead against hers. “Why did you kiss me back?” Vladimir asked carefully as he didn’t want Ashlyn to feel being taken advantage of or something. “I-I don’t know…” Ashlyn was just catching her breath as she savors the moment of being kissed by her mate. But she honestly, wasn’t so sure about what she was feeling or rather to say, not interested in putting a name to it. “Kim, I have my reason why I have to do that and I am sorry if it offended you. I’m just snapping you from losing control so my venom residing within you won’t turn you
Ashlyn was finally done with her work, she was about to leave the company when she decided to drop first at the cafe near her favorite diner. She was just waiting for her order when she sensed somebody was watching her carefully. She sighed and played with her phone when Nisha came in to buy some snacks. “Nisha.” Ashlyn called out for Nisha who looked around for a couple of seconds until she found her. “Ms. Yu.” Nisha grins excitedly as she approached her lady boss’ spot. “What I told you?” Ashlyn smirked which made Nisha sigh but smile. “Not to call you Ms. Yu when we’re outside the company.” She recalled what her lady boss told her once and Ashlyn chuckled. “Good. So, what brought you here? Errand?
When she was done changing, Ashlyn went to the kitchen and saw Vladimir preparing the food that she brought from the cafe and her ice cream on the island counter space. She started digging for her snack before Vladimir watched her eat silently. “YAH! What are you looking at?” Ashlyn glared at him. Vladimir shook his head while smiling as he was being caught staring. “Nothing, you’re cute when you eat as if you didn’t eat for a couple of months.” Vladimir pointed that out and Ashlyn shrugged her shoulders since she loves to eat foods that she loves. “Well, I miss this pie. Take a bite. You’ll like it.” Ashlyn offered and Vladimir took a bite from what she offering her. “Hmm, oh, apple pie… it's goo
As soon as the pack went back into their post, the luna let the children, and the omegas go back to their usual routine and started preparing some snacks for them. When they went inside the pack house, the alpha glanced at his wife and nodded then went straight to the office. Inside the office, Ceres immediately let herself be comfortable and sat on the couch across from the couple and the pack’s alpha. “So, I will go straight to the point. I am here because you two wanted to know something about the strange pull you’re feeling toward someone.” Ceres went straight to the point as soon as they all settle onto their chosen seats. “What does mean about it? Care to share about that?” Alpha Jace wondered what Ceres was talking about as he looked curiously at the two of them. “Well, Dad, we saved a packl
Ashlyn could not believe what just happened. She could suddenly hear a voice that she never heard before and it was talking directly into her. She stopped dealing with Ceres and started letting the burning flame crawl beneath her skin to keep spreading like a wildfire in the woods. But at the same time, she was feeling deeply about what suddenly was happening to her. ‘Release me!’ “Are you…never mind…” Ashlyn was about to ask but she didn’t finish instead, she let it be since she got the feeling she knew already who she was talking to. Her wolf. ‘Stupid, just release me and you will know who am I?’ “No, I know and I could tell who you are…I’m just surprised that you can talk.” Ashlyn rolled her eyes when she heard that response. She felt like she was talking to herself because
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
