Lycan King’s nemesis Chapter Fifty-four
(Ashton's pov)Gwendolyn was like a wild flame and I was her moth. I just can't stay away. I tell myself I loath her and want her gone by all means. But in reality, I see myself drawn to her.I have to break her, everything that makes her. I aim to make her beg, grovel for me before I will reach my brink. Before I will feel the satisfaction that comes from getting my revenge on her kind. For everything Emma did to me. But with every day I spend with her, it looked like I was becoming a shadow of myself. I was doing the exact opposite of what I wished for. All because of the curse of the bond. I slammed the bottle of alcohol in my hand on the desk, stood and staggered to the window and pushed the curtain away to sniff outside. It was a windy night, stipulating rain beckoned. But, there was something else. A familiar scent. Why am I perceiving her scent outside? I racked my head, then shook it and dropped the curtains to step back. It might be a trap of the mind. I was becoming too c

**Gwen’s Pov**"Ashton?” I gasped, startled to the marrow. "You scared me." I closed the door and gazed around the room. "What are you doing here?""Don't -don't you dare evade my question." He gritted, narrowing his eyes at me. "Where are you coming from?""I went strolling." I lied fluidly. "I needed to think and I wasn't hungry so I decided to skip and go...strolling."He drank me in intently, his lips in a straight line, and his eyes unreadable. I didn't walk closer, afraid he will smell Tyler’s scent on me. Werewolves' sense of smell was potent not to mention a Chief Lycan.He huffed irritably and moved away from the window, to cross his hand over his massive chest. "Are you still on your... period?""Period?" I questioned, then recalling my initial lie, I abruptly nodded. "Yes. In fact, uhm...I have cramps and want to go bed early.""Are you lying to me now, Gwen?" I was shaking my head at him. "Don't you want to get pregnant?"I looked away rapidly, my mind travelling back to w

**Ashton***"There is no other way, my elders," My authoritative voice rang in the room as I addressed my elders. "We shall take war to the humans." I declared with an air of finality. We were in a meeting, a normal routine every Friday to talk about the general welfare of the pack.The only difference today is that we have matters of urgent attention. One is the attack and the other being the games. "I think we should think this one through, my King," Ebenezer, the oldest of the elders advised. "I know this might be the only way, considering their condition, yet, like your father will always say, tough times don't always require tough measures."I snorted derisively, waving away the comment from Ebenezer. "That is my father and this is me. I am the King now and unless you are still loyal to my father, this is what we are going to do." The elder lifted his hands up to demonstrate his submission. "For long I have been ignoring the caprices of the humans as they keep trying to step on
Lycan King’s nemesis Chapter Fifty-seven
**GWEN**After dinner and everyone had retired to their different room and I was certain Ashton will not show up in my room that night, I wore the black hooded cardigan Kora brought me on simple pair of jean trousers and sneaked out of the palace. I went to the stables like the other night and saw that same horse that betrayed me at Tyler's place. I decided to give him a second chance when he neighed at me and use him once more. I enticed him outside with an apple I saved from dinner, and made sure he didn't make any sound to attract the stable hands. When we were distant from the stables, I struggled to mount him, happy he didn't panic and run off on me. "Good boy." I patted his neck, grabbed his reins and kicked his stirrup to increase his gallop. I was already late and won't want Tyler to think I changed my mind.When I got to his cottage, he was already waiting for me outside his house. I jumped down from the horse, tied it by a post and went to join him in his car."I nearly c

**ASHTON**I've been in the study all day attending to the stacked ledgers that were submitted by the Pack secretary, waiting for me to sign off on the bills compiled by the different segments in preparation for the upcoming festivities.I have been ignoring them for days now because of the attack and other distractions but today, I had persevered to finish assenting to the most relevant bills, especially the welfare team for the games. Once done, I stretched my arms to pop my stiff joints and circulate blood that had clogged at some points. After that, I stood and went to the minibar to pick up a bottle of Madeira and a glass, going to the window to look outside after I poured the drink and took a sip. It was approaching Fall, the season of festivities and procreation. It was in this period that the supernatural's experienced mass birth due to the cold weather which in the long run brought along heat for the females. For us, Lycans, the red blood moon would enhance all our abilitie

**GWEN**Tyler and I were thrown into the same room. It was a dark and cold room. The was no window, and the only source of light was a yellow flickering bulb with fading light that at the moment was coming and going off.I think there is an oncoming storm as a powerful lightening shook the walls, the angry howl of the trees outside, very audible in here.“Are you okay, you are shivering,” Tyler asked, dragging back my attention to him. I looked at him, his Obsidian now very sharp in the dim light. I knew he was mad at being caged. Comes with his nature as a Lycan. They hate confined spaces. Yet, he cared about me.I glanced down at my feet. “I am not, Ty. I brought this upon you.”“You didn't.” He took a step forward and faltered as if thinking his action through. “I failed to protect you. Do you know how that makes me feel?”“Don't say that.” I glared at him. “In this trip, it's a peaceful one. No violence and as far as I am concerned, each of our protection lies on us..” My voice d

**GWEN**We reached the end of the hall and it had opposite hallways adjacent to it. Tyler made to run in the right direction and suddenly came to a screeching halt, instead making for the closest entrance beside us, and dragging me inside."What the fu_""Shhhh..." He flattened my back against his rock-hard front, palming my mouth with his extra large hands. "There are humans coming this way."I nodded, my pulse quickening from our close proximity and the fan of his breath on the side of my face. Fuck, like me, the staccato beat of his heartbeat was hammering at my spine in rapid succession. Now, I can't lie, I like Tyler. My body's reaction each time any part our bodies touch, all he comes close to me, or I even see him, proves that.However, it is mere infatuation, nothing serious. Any girl could feel that, seeing as he is very hot. I can never allow myself dwell on these scandalous thoughts knowing very well how much trouble it's going to be bring me. By the way, Tyler liked som
Lycan King’s nemesis Chapter Sixty-one
**GWEN**"Hello, King of animal, it's nice to see you again," Spiky said behind me and my stomach clenched first from the bad breathe oozing from his alcohol-stinking mouth and second from the presence of my mate here.I might not say it more often, or maybe because we are often at war or because majority of the time I was hating him and wishing he paid for all his ails towards me, but then, looking at my mate now-even in the middle of being killed which I knew I will die anyways-he seem to have grown more handsome, masculine and attractive in the last few hours."Is this the best you can pull?" Ashton asked him quietly, nodding at me as he crossed his big arms over his chest, causing his biceps to flex and my stomach twisted like my guts was about to rip. Wait, did he just ask him such a question in the middle of everything that is going on? I am about to be fucken killed by this stinky breathe for fuck sake! "Ash_""Don-don't say a word." His eyes squinted in anger as he bent his h
