ASHLEYAnita meant it when she said she had to get me a chilled drink. We stopped by at a bar to take some glasses. For a moment, I forgot everything that was bothering me.It was in the middle of all that unwinding that I got a text from Carson. My heart leaped as I opened his text. He wanted to know where I was and why I was not back in the palace yet.I felt so loved and valued. Even though he had exempted himself from all the activities in the palace, he still noticed my absence and checked on meWhen we were done, Anita insisted on driving me back to the palace. She drove off after I alighted from her car and again, she and her driver resumed their recklessness. I shook my head and reached for the gate. It was then I sensed someone staring at me.My heart skipped at first. Then my wolf assured me that there was no need to fret. It was Carson. I placed my hand on my chest and gulped in the air.“You are not planning to kill me, are you?”“Looks like someone is not in her right min
ASHLEYAfter I had exhausted the tears in my eyes, I got out of the bathroom and cleaned myself.I made a decision though, I would try my best to see how we could settle the issue and bring the brothers back together during breakfast. I hoped it would work and we could all be happy again.I woke up the next morning to my mum's call which I had not gotten in a while. She had all that talk about wishing she could call me often. She was sorry for being so distant. And again, she somehow believed that talking to me once would make everything all right.She wanted to know everything that was happening with me, my mates, my studies, my friend Anita, and everything else.I just gave her a brief response, that everything was fine. When she insisted on getting details, I told her to call me the next day because I had to do something really important.I knew she would not. But deep down, I wished she would. I needed to talk to someone about the rivalry in the palace. It was eating me up and I c
ASHLEY“You can't do this,” Brody growled, his voice low and pleading.I tore my eyes from his erect dick. I was fucking horny and I was tempted to just yield and let him pleasure me. But my mind was made up.After the display at breakfast, I realized the triplets were not ready to settle. The fight affected me so much that I could not even bring myself to make love with any of them.“I can,” I replied, firmly. “I will not be a pawn in your game.”“What game are you talking about? There's no game anywhere, just a little disagreement between brothers.”I looked at him in shock, “little disagreement! You call that a little disagreement?”“Yes, Ashley. When we are ready, we'll fix it. And if you ask me, you should not get involved in it.”“Okay, I have kept a distance from your war. That's exactly why I do not want any entanglements with you all.He stood up, his dick pushing against his briefs, “why have you decided to punish me, Ashley?”I tried my best to remain calm, “I am simply doi
ASHLEYThe scent of damp earth filled the air as I wandered through the forest. My wolf was restless. She pushed against the thin strength of my human control.I had always followed my mates around. We were seen together, especially during lunch breaks. But now, I was alone. I did not even know where they were and I did not want to know. I had felt their presence when I walked towards the cafeteria. I decided then to turn around and spend my break elsewhere.As I strolled into the forest at the back of the school, their scent grew fainter with each passing minute.My heart ached with loneliness. I missed my alpha princes, their laughter, their touch. But I knew that I had made the right decision. Their rivalry was tearing the family apart and it would soon start to affect the entire pack. I could no longer allow myself to be caught in the centre of their war.I sat on a fallen log, my eyes fixed on a huge tree in a distance. The sun was beginning to set, casting long shadows across th
JASMINEI watched as Ashley strolled into the field for practice. She never came late and she always looked like she had her life figured out. With a stupid smile on her ugly face.But today, she was late for practice and she looked sad. It only meant one thing, the princes had not settled their dispute yet.As Ashley left the field, head bowed, hands swinging slowly, I rushed to her.“Hey Ashley,” I smiled, “I guess one of your Alphas is waiting for you,” I ensured the smile didn't leave my face.She turned, she looked like she was close to tears.“Hey, what's wrong?”“Nothing.”“Come on. I noticed you were dull during practice and I just assumed you were not in the mood for it. But seeing your face like this? No, no, no, this is beyond practice stress.” I said moving closer to her.“You should not bother about me, honestly. I'm fine,” she said, trying to force a smile.Just open your damn mouth and tell me what I want to hear, bitch!“You don't think I will leave you this way, do yo
ASHLEYI woke up suddenly in the middle of the night. My body was covered in heat, making me restless. I turned my table clock to see what time it was.I hissed, “Why am I awake by 2 am?”I stretched and rubbed the back of my hand over my eyes and yawned. Then I got off my bed and headed straight for the bathroom. Whatever this heat was about, I wasn’t going to let it ruin my sleep.I was done showering and I still felt uncomfortable. My wolf would not stop purring and writhing.When my attempt to induce sleep failed for the umpteenth time, I got off my bed and headed for the kitchen. If I laid my hand on a glass of chilled wine, I would gulp it so that sleep would come right away.This thought paraded my mind as I walked down the stairs to the living room. For some funny reason, my eyes darted to the prince’s side of the house. My heart skipped as I recalled how I ran up those stairs every minute. I thought of my unending visits to the triplets.I was either going to give them someth
JASMINE“Hello, everyone!” I called, causing everyone to pause and listen, “I know we are done with practice for the day but the club coach wants to address us. I need you all to hold on for a bit.”I turned to Ashley, who was standing just beside me, smiling like a fool. After she told me about the rivalry in the palace, she now appeared to be more comfortable sharing things with me.If only she had an idea what I was up to, she wouldn’t take the offer to stand beside me.I was, however, happy about something, I was gradually breaking her wings. Earlier on, just some minutes before the end of cheer practice, I saw her alone. I called but she didn't hear.I was literally in front of her before she noticed me.“Oh, Jasmine, hi!”I swallowed the look of disdain that was fighting hard to sit on my face. I shifted to a worried look, instead.“Are you fine, Ashley? I have been calling you! How come you did not hear me? And why are you sitting here like this?” I pointed to the rock she was
JASMINEI was restless. That had become my default state lately, ever since the coach announced the unique cheer routine thing. I had tried to come up with my unique idea but my brain would not cooperate.I watched videos from different websites to get inspiration. But everything there had been performed by the club already. I got up from the balcony and walked to a spacious part of the compound.My mum had tried all she could to encourage me. Now, she just stared at me. I tried to imagine what she was thinking. She probably felt that I should give up, maybe I was not good for the club. I recall how she had reacted when I told her I had become the president of the club.“Jasmine? I'm happy for you but becoming president of the club is not the right thing to do now. Your grades are suffering! Besides, you have never liked cheer clubs. You keep complaining about the routines and how you wish you had never joined. Now this?”She was right but I wasn't one to accept defeat.I am Jasmine a
