MATED TO HER BULLY STEPBROTHERS 213
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

JASMINEMy heart drummed heavily.What would happen if Ashley found out I was peeping? No! That would ruin my reputation. I had to think of a solution and fast. I put my phone back in my pocket. Then I looked around for shelter. There was only one tree close to me. The most I could do was hide behind it.And why wouldn't Ashley just go back to her practice?I tried to plaster my body on the tree so she wouldn't see me. But she soon started walking towards me. She probably decided to end practice already.I held my breath and stood still.“Who's there?” she asked, placing her hands on her waist.She started walking towards the tree.I knew it was over. There was no need to hide anymore.“Oh nooo.”“Jasmine?” she quirked her brow.Say something! My brain went blank for a few seconds.Cone on! It's Ashley. Just say something!“Yeah, yeah,” I smiled, “I was hoping I would not disrupt your practice. I came here to practice, too; then I found you doing yours. You were so deep into it and I

ASHLEYIt was finally the day of the unique cheer routine display and I was pumped. I was so sure of my moves, and I could bet it would be the best. I wished at that moment that I was on good terms with the triplets. I was sure that Carson would go out of his way to spend time with me and cheer me on before my performance.His kiss on my forehead would go a long way.My heart was pumping with anticipation as the performances started. I watched every display with glee. The other performances impressed me. It soon got to Jasmine's turn. I did not know exactly what to expect. When I suggested she showed me her routine, she said she had to hurry off to meet someone.I looked on with anticipation, waiting to see what she had in store. Her first move got me shifting in my seat. It was so like my first move, but I passed it off as a coincidence. Then she did the second and the third, which were almost the same as mine. I sprang up from my seat when she began her attempt on my super move.Wha

ASHLEYI got to the palace and realized Carson and Axel were not around. I met Brody sitting outside the balcony. He had a pack of cards stacked in front of him while he pressed his phone.“Hi, Brody.”“Ashley…why are you angry?” he asked, softly.“I'm not…I ….”“Don't even lie. I felt a kind of tension from you a while back and I began searching to know what was happening with you.”“Nothing happened.”“Then why were you panicking?” he got up and came to me, “What had you so worked up? I felt everything, baby.”I didn't know when I let go of my defense and leaned into his arms. He took me in and embraced me tightly. He inhaled my hair and then kissed my forehead.“I'm sorry, baby. Whatever happened, you’re not alone,” he said.Tears formed in my eyes, “well, it looks like I'm alone. I feel alone. I am going through shit alone! Nobody cares about me.” I started sobbing.He moved me away from his body, his hands still gripping my shoulders, “we need to talk Ashley. It seems a lot is go
