CARSON

By the time I got to the palace hall, everyone was seated except Axel.

“Where is your brother?” I heard my dad roar.

I rolled my eyes in frustration. Not again!

I turned back to find Axel. He was just about to leave his room when I met him. He had a frown on his face and looked like he would punch anyone who stood in his way.

“Father asked for your whereabouts,” I said, trying to sound as calm as possible.

“He can go fuck himself for all I care,” he said stiffly and walked past me.

We got to the hall and took our seats. There seemed to be a kind of calm in the palace. No one said a word. It was as if we were all waiting for judgment to be passed.

I knew within myself that I was mated to Ashley. I had never felt anything so strong for anyone else. Our bond had grown even stronger and I could not afford to lose Ashley at his point.

That was impossible.

I hoped that Circe would not complicate things for us. I could not understand why my father would not just believe that

    AXELThe return of my dad from his long trip was one annoying thing. Now he was back and he thought we were pleased with the fact that Ashley was our mate. Even though my brothers had made peace with it, how dare he think I was ever in support of it? Fucking Ashley was good. My wolf will not stop desiring her and maybe I wasn't so rigid about fighting it anymore. But for anyone to think I like the whole mate drama? That I would not take. If only he knew how desperately I wanted to kill her before the whole mate bond shit emerged. I thought of the way her mum seemed relaxed with the whole thing. Fucking gold digger! I was not surprised that she was not mad about it. She probably saw her daughter as another link to enjoy the prestige and wealth that came with royalty. She even had the guts to say if it was the will of the goddess then there was nothing we could do about it. Typical of her! I liked the idea of bringing Circe to the palace when I first heard of it. I just wanted som

    CARSONI stared at Axel in shock. Did he just suggest that we kill Ashley? What the fuch was that? Anger rushed through my veins, causing my heart to burn. I clenched my fist to keep it down, but I couldn't. In a split second, I grabbed him by the collar and shoved him in the opposite direction. He staggered and hit his back against a pole. He winced and I could tell an excruciating pain ran through his spine. He stood upright and gave him a dark look. But of course, my eyes were not friendly either. “How dare you!” I barked, moving close to him. “Really? Was that even necessary?” he asked with a frown. “The next time you make such an unforgivable statement, we are going to fight it out,” I told him. He looked at me with shock, “all this because of Ashley?” “I think you went too far, Axel. Why would you suggest killing Ashley? How is any of this her fault?” Brody asked.“It was just a bloody suggestion! It's already looking like we have to trade what we have to get her marked.

    CARSONI stayed in my room all evening. The day had been too stressful and mentally draining. I just wanted to be alone. Even if my brothers wanted to withdraw from Ashley, there was no way I would withdraw from her. It occurred to me that I had not spent time with her the whole day. I was so overwhelmed with all that was happening in the palace so much that I didn't even have time to find Ashley. The thought of her caused a kind of warmth in my body. I wanted more than ever to prove to her just how much she meant to me. I thought of how good she was in bed. I bit down my lower lip. Images of her taking my dick in her mouth flashed through my mind. My dick pulsated. I ran my hand over it, trying to keep my head in one direction. I didn’t want to bring her into the mess we were in. I just wanted to settle everything without making her uncomfortable. But she already knew what was going on. The least I could do was reassure her. I adjusted my shorts, creating more room for my dick. I

    BRODY I walked into Carson's room and saw him and Ashley kissing. My dick pulsed at the sight of them. A primal need enveloped me, and I just wanted to join them already. I was surprised when Carson called saying Ashley brought us freshly squeezed juice. The whole day had been very stressful, jumping from one argument to another. I had to be the sane one among my brothers. Their argument had gone out of hand, and it all emanated from Axel suggesting that Ashley be killed. I had been so preoccupied that I didn't have time to go meet Ashley. Seeing her squeezed in Carson's arms awakened the hunger that lay dormant all day and I could not wait to get naughty with her. The strap of her blouse was hanging down her shoulders, exposing her boobs. I watched as Carson ran his tongue along her cleavage. She had her hands draped over his shoulders, while they knelt in front of each other. First, I went straight to the table and poured myself a full glass of juice, and sipped it slowly. I wat

    AXEL I was restless on my bed. I kept switching from one position to the other. I was irritated by the audacity of my brothers. To think we were having real-life issues in the palace and all that mattered to them was fucking Ashley. I had told myself that I wanted to relax my head, after the argument with my dad. I did not know how easy it was for my brothers to hide their anger, but it wasn't easy for me. My dad had no right to tell us what to do as regards choosing a mate. Or the manner we should do it. I was glad I stormed, leaving him to his pointless meeting. He would at least get my message and know that I had not forgotten what he did to my mother. But my whole effort at resting my head proved abortive. All I heard were Ashley's endless moans. It was as though I was fighting a battle. I got up from my bed and paced my room. I felt like I was denying myself something I was supposed to enjoy. I knew I could just go over and join them, but I did not want to. I thought of the

    ASHLEYMy heart skipped a beat when I sensed Axel’s eyes on me.Since the return of Alpha Hendrix and my mum, he seemed to be staying away. I did wonder why he did not join his brothers when they came to my room the previous day. I could not deny the fact that I enjoyed the intensity of having sex with the three of them.I concluded that he was back to being bitter and looking down on me. But I was not going to let it get to me. I was having a swell time with his brothers and I was going to enjoy every bit of it.The look on his face threw me off guard. The last I remembered, there was no issue. Of course, Axel's mood was unpredictable but I thought things were getting a little better.I guess I was fooling myself.His eyes were filled with anger. A frown etched his face. He shoved his hands into his pockets, looking like he was about to pounce on me. Although my wolf was giddy when he asked me to lead the way to my room. But I was more worried. With the look on his face, I could tell

    ASHLEY “Ashley, I heard it for the first time that day. No one has ever mentioned such to me.” my mum answered, a small frown edging her forehead. Knowing my mum, I expected that she would make an excuse for herself. But from the way she spoke, it seemed she truly had no idea what Circe spoke about. “Then what am I supposed to do about it? Shouldn't I find out more about the power?” I asked, worriedly. She chuckled and rubbed my shoulder, “You do not need to bother yourself, Ashley. You must understand that your power is to be used in supporting your Alpha when his reign begins. The power will help strengthen your bond as well. You will become Luna soon and you will need your power to stand by your husband.” “Is that it?” “Of course. What else is there? Do not bother your head, Ashley. Everything would play out with time. There's even something I need to tell you.” “What is that?” I asked, looking at her closely. “I and Alpha Hendrix are getting divorced.” “What!” “Yes, it's

    AXELI drove into the palace with the hope of going straight to relax in my room. My dad had gone on another vacation. At least, I would have my space without his nagging. After the argument about the mate bond, I made sure to avoid getting into any conversation with him. He wanted to dictate what happened with our lives like he did with my mum and I wasn't about to let that happen. Getting into the palace, I noticed a sudden rise of heat in my body. My wolf would not stay calm. Then I inhaled Ashley's scent. I looked up towards the house, to see where she was. Then I realized she was sitting on the front porch. I was immediately aroused. I grunted and swirled the car to a halt. I felt beads of sweat on my back. The last sex I had with Ashley in her bathroom had not left my mind. I wanted it again and again, even better. My brothers jumped out of the car immediately. In a split second, they were banging my car door. And it was all because they saw Ashley. Bitterness wrenched my

    ASHLEY I recognized them the minute I saw them. Their faces were covered as were the faces of every guard in the palace. But there was something different when our eyes met. I felt a spark on my inside. My wolf surged within me, causing my heartbeat to triple. “They have come to rescue you. Your true mates!” I tried to wrap my head around it but my mind was blurred. I knew them, I felt it strongly, but I did not know exactly why they came for me. I wanted to stay back and check what it was about, but Killian would not let me. When he insisted that I left the throne room, I had no choice but to leave. As I went to my chamber, I saw another wolf. His eyes ignited the same spark in me. We stood staring at each other and just like the other two, he also was dressed as a guard. “Who are you?” I asked, calmly. “You do not know me? Ashley?” He looked heartbroken and shattered. “I feel a connection with you, but I do not know exactly who you are.” We went into my chamber and he took h

    AXEL“All we need now is to reach the palace,” Carson whispered as he crouched beside me in the forest.Things were not the same after Killian defeated us and took Ashley away. Breaking the mate bond was extreme. It made it impossible for us to connect with Ashley, thereby making the search for her longer than normal. But we finally found Killian’s pack.While he was busy shuffling between his pack and the capital,we were busy making our way deeper into his territory. We had killed many of his guards and he had no idea what was going on. We had eaten deep into his territory. We took our time, knowing that this was no small battle.As the days went on, we were able to make our way into the village, hiding behind cabins and caves.“Now that they know we are here, we have to be more careful. I would also suggest that we hurry up and get into the palace,” Brody said as we sat down to strategize.We entered the palace at night, through the back. We injected the guards and put them to sleep

    KILLIANAfter the marriage ceremony between Ashley and me, a wave of fulfillment washed over me. I stared at her with pride. My labor of many years finally paid off.I instructed the maids to set up a room specially for Ashley. She was my Luna and I wanted that to be evident in e etu way. I assigned some maids a d to get. They were to ensure that her needs were met.I visited my secret room to do a power check. I was elated when I discovered that some heights which had seemed impossible a while back, I now surpassed.I had a meeting with the elders later in the day. I could see the hidden questions in their eyes as they stared at me. But no one dared to ask me questions.“The time to claim what was rightfully mine is here. It's time to ascend to the throne.”They stared at me, still confused. Then they began exchanging confused comments among themselves. I wonder how I surrounded myself with such dummies.“It's time to declare myself as king of the entire capital. I will now be the

    KILLIANI took Ashley to a dimly lit chamber. It was bare and cold, save for a funny-looking bed. I had to be sure that she was ready to do my bidding. She had to prove herself worthy of my palace.I stood over her, my gaze unwavering.“You will be my Luna,” I declared, enjoying the way my voice echoed in the room, “we will be married, and you will serve your purpose.”“Never!” she barked, her eyes spitting fire.I chuckled, a low sound that ended almost immediately, “we'll see about that.”I began pacing the room, speaking of our future, of our children, of a life together. The more I spoke, the angrier Ashley became. She was not willing to do my bidding. Her eyes pierced my heart as she shot daggers with them. But I didn't care.I had come a long way on this plan. I had put in so much to ensure that I got Ashley as my Luna. Having her tight here in my territory was proof that the universe was granting my long-term desire.I tried to resist the urge to hit her. She kept swearing at m

    ASHLEYThe moon was full and heavy, sending shadows all over the forest. I looked around trying to understand where we were at the time. I looked around trying to trace the road from where Killian parked his car.“My men will take care of you for the night. Enjoy the space given you in the cabin. Tomorrow, we will continue the journey to my park.”I did not respond to him, neither did I look in his direction.“You heard me right?”I still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that this evil creature was the same Long Leg Ahjussi that I had known for so long. I felt miserable. I had been played. I let myself be used! To think I had sold some information to an enemy. “I want some time alone!”He looked down at me for a few seconds, “you can have your time alone but don’t try anything funny,” he said dangling his index finger in front of me.“I don't care what you would do to me!” I said, angrily.“Ashley!” he shouted, his voice laced with a wickedness, “I would advise you to corporate

    ASHLEY“I am Ashley's online lover!”I stared at Killian with my jaw dropping in shock.Axel and Brody turned to look at me with confusion. I couldn't believe I was in such a terrible situation. It was too overwhelming to find out so many things at once.I thought we had escaped.Brody told me that waiting in the underground room was too risky.“That Killian guy is too sensitive and smart. We cannot let him get us so easily,” he paused and looked around, thoughtfully.Then he pointed to the wall at the other end of the room. I looked at the wall, wondering how we would go through it. He held my hand and rushed towards the wall. He stretched and tapped the wall and a pad of buttons appeared from the side. I had no idea that the wall was computerized. It opened up, creating a space for us to go through.I followed behind Brody and waited for him to close the wall again.“Carson is waiting for us outside the school walls. Just follow my lead and we will be fine. I'm sure Axel is facing h

    AXELWas Killian monitoring us?I couldn't get my mind off what Ashley had shared with us. Killian was definitely monitoring us. We all agreed to be more watchful of him and to report any suspicious movement to the rest of us.I sat beside Killian during basketball training. Our team had just scored a superb goal and we were leading. Killian jumped on his feet and cheered for the goal. I remained in my seat while shouting at the top of my voice.Just then, Killian's phone chimed, and a message popped on the screen.If you let the info slip, then I think we need to act fast.I gasped and looked up. I was relieved to see that he was still occupied with cheering our teammates.His phone chimed again.She might have sensed something was off already and might have told the others. Was this about Ashley?I looked up to find Killian staring down at me. He quirked his brow questioningly at me. I ignored him and looked ahead.He sat quietly and picked up his phone. I expected him to check hi

    ASHLEYHanging out with Killian was quite comforting. Being with him gave me a break from all the hurdles and pressure back in the palace. His presence always brought a sense of calm, a kind of balance in the weight of my life.There was so much to plan. I attended a series of meetings with my mates and the elders. Aside from the stress, I was getting used to the real life of royalty. But I found myself looking forward to the relief that came with spending time with Killian.I told Anita about him and I also told Long Leg Ahjussi. He said he was happy for me but he wouldn’t want someone else to take his place in my life. I laughed at him for being jealous.I reassured him that no one could take his place. While I relaxed with Killian in school, I did not discuss my life issues with him. I was careful to avoid telling him personal things and other occurrences in the palace. I felt more comfortable telling them to Long Leg Ahjussi. He was very understanding and we had come a long way.J

    AXELI could not avoid the smell of sweat that filled the air in the basketball room. I sat in the front row, watching the others play, while waiting for my turn. The repeated thud of the ball against the floor echoed in my ears, while my eyes got busy with something else.I watched Killian, the new guy, with a mix of admiration and unease. His movements were effortless and his shots were calculated. There was an uncommon grace to his play that resonated with something deep within me. I concluded it had to be born from years of practice since he did not mention anything about being from a special breed or having any powers at all.But that grace, it was something. The fierceness with which he played could not be possessed by just any wolf. He seemed to have a perfect blend of expertise and that feral touch I couldn't place.At first, I'd been wary of him. His arrival had disrupted the school in a very haughty way. It felt like a sudden intrusion into our territory. But as the days pas
