AXELCarson quirked his brow at me as if I had no right to defend Ashley. “You want to teach me how to speak to Ashley?” he chuckled, “coming from someone who has no regard whatsoever for her!” Carson fired. “All of that is in the past, bro. And the earlier you let go of it, the better for all of us! Ashley is my mate as much as she is yours!” Carson let out roaring laughter. He blew out air from his lungs and put his hands on his waist before turning to me. “You know, I think you deserve a degree in clownery. This is it, huh? This is how you want to play this game.”“What the fuck are you talking about?” “This is about what Circe said, right?” he chuckled, “you want to run ahead of us and get Ashley to fall in love with you.” I became furious, “I won't have you speak to me in such a degrading manner. Why would I act based on what Circe said? You know how much I’m against her. And now you are saying this?” Carson’s eyes bore into mine. It was clear that he would take me on a p

AXELThings were slipping out of my hand. I was fast becoming an enemy to my brothers. It was all because I spent time with Ashley without involving my brothers. I had to find a way out. I knew that if I allowed things to continue the way they were going, I would soon be in a serious war with my brothers.I went after Carson as he swaggered angrily towards the back of the house. I figured immediately that he was headed for the forest. I watched as he shifted to his wolf form. His fur bristled in the dim evening light. And every hair on his body was erect, due to anger.I changed into my wolf form and went after him.The earth was damp and comforting to my paws. I dug in slowly with each step. As I advanced toward Carson, I thought of the bond we shared. Carson and I were close. He was one to look out for me, even more than Brody did. I hated that we were in such a situation at that time.I could hear Carson's breath. It collided with the soft wind that took over the serenity of the fo

CARSONAxel's explanation did more harm than good. I would have felt better believing that Axel was forcing his way into Ashley's heart. But now, knowing that she asked him on the date made me uncomfortable.Why Axel?I sat on the damp earth, letting my body take in the cold that it provided. My mind kept running through what Axel said about Ashley asking him out. My wolf cringed as I thought of it.I had called countless times but there was no answer.It all became completely unbearable when I began to feel my heart pounding heavily. My wolf was restless and there was a heavy wave of heat all over my body. At first, I assumed they were only making out since they were not in the house.But my wolf started prancing. My dick was hard as well and I could feel Ashley’s arousal. It was heightening, causing my heart to beat faster. It was then I intensified the calls. I did not want to believe that Axel would keep Ashley to himself for an entire night.But he did.As soon as Brody came to

CARSONAs soon as I escaped the walls of the court, I took a deep breath and doubled my speed.I felt a sudden surge of determination to find Ashley. I saw this as an opportunity to fix things between Ashley and me and I was not about to let it waste. I left my car in the park.I decided I stead to use the forest path to the palace. I wasn't sure what I would encounter on the road with lots of human rules and their stupid traffic. My wolf was panting heavily with anticipation.I knew he was in support of what I was about to do.The distance I felt between Ashley and me was making me feel lost. Every moment, my wolf reached for her. I always felt her wolf jump toward mine, too, whenever we were in close proximity. I had not said a word to her since that time I asked her to go to her room. Then after hearing from Axel, it just made everything worse.Ashley deserved better. I knew it was time to throw the hurt aside and speak to Ashley properly.As soon as I entered the forest, the smell

AXEL“You were just what?” Ashley asked again after waiting for an answer that I did not provide.“I was just jealous. I was restless the moment I realized you would be with Axel all night. I felt left out. I was here all night, drowning in frustration. Ashley, I just…”She pulled her hand from underneath mine and brought it up to my lips, “Carson, just let it…”I shook my head and turned my face from her. Her finger fell off my lips, “I have to fix this now,” I said with a heavy breath, “please, listen to me.”She nodded and held my eyes.“Maybe I have not been doing a good job showing it, but honestly Ashley, you mean so much to me. I have always looked out for you.”I paused and took a deep breath.“Way before we became mates, I was always interested in making life easier for you,” I paused when she looked at me questioningly.“I don't think I noticed you doing anything to make my life easier. You and your brothers were always working together to frustrate me.”“That was what it lo

CARSONI had to take control of the situation immediately, it was obvious that Brody did not take the issue lightly.“That was a joke though. The guy said I should not bother about it. He just bailed and I decided to come back home.”He gave me a side glance and nodded, “I thought you would come back to training.”“There’s no way I could have returned. It was already too late,” I said, stretching my hand to Ashley.“I see.”He seemed a bit relaxed but when I thought of his reaction toward me for being with Ashley, I realized it was fast becoming a competition.I tried to shake it off my mind. Ashley was in front of me and that was what mattered.“Sadly, I cannot be a part of this tension you both are exchanging,” he said, his eyes running between Ashley and me, “I have to freshen up and rush off to an important meeting. I'll see you guys later.”He turned to Ashley and held her chin. Then he leaned in and kissed her fully on the lips, “be good, okay,?” he said and rushed out of the ro

AXELI hissed angrily as I paced the floor of the school field. We had just finished training when my dad called to complain about a deal that did not pull through.“Again, Axel, you have proven to be a failure!”His words immediately threw me into a bad mood! What did he mean by I was a failure? There had been times when I had seen a deal through, in fact, many times like that. I could not comprehend his mean words to me just for one deal that did not pull through.The crazy thing was that it was not even my fault. He had asked me to work on a deal and still asked his beta to be on the same deal. His beta made a move that jeopardized everything I had been working on.Ever since the argument that arose from Circe's stupid prophecy, things had not been the same. And I was not even ready to go through the stress of fixing any issue with him.I kicked a stone that was lying innocently on the ground.“Fuck!” I yelled and clenched my fist.“Why can't you just do something right?

BRODYAs I ran out of the palace, towards my car, my head seemed to be spinning. I could not wait a second longer to spend time with Ashley and Carson. Hence, I had to leave them.My footsteps seemed to echo in my head. I felt a banging headache and my eyes were burning. I entered my car and held the staring for a while. I just sat there with my mind roaming through different things.I kept thinking of the tension in the room when I walked in on Ashley and Carson. The way he pinned her to the wall. The look in their eyes was fiery and they looked like they were going to eat each other up.First, it was Axel spending the night with Ashley, then next, it was Carson being in a heated moment with her. It was crazy that they enjoyed it alone, not bothered by the fact that her other mates were not around.Where did that leave me?I felt cheated. It was as if my brothers were intentionally pushing me aside. As I sat in the car, my heart twisted in pain. The worst part of it was that they did

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
