ASHLEYI untangled my hands and made to leave the bed.“Come on, Ashley. Please hear me out. Please.”“You are going to keep blaming your faults on others. Why should I listen to you?”“Okay, just relax. At that time, I still thought that you had something to do with the bond. And I saw Circe's prophecy as a threat. You would agree with me that it was targeted at causing rivalry. That was not something I wanted. So in a way, I wanted to get rid of you, and end everything.”“You were going to kill me.”“Ashley, don't you understand that a lot has changed between then and now? I feel different about you. I cannot even imagine such a thing anymore. You mean so much to me, Ashley.”Don’t fall for his words! I told myself.“Listen, you, of all people, should understand what Jasmine was trying to do. She just wants to come between us so badly. Do not give her a chance, please.”He reached out and touched me. His hand touched my arm unsteadily as if waiting for approval. I looked down at his

ASHLEYI turned sharply at the creaking of the floorboard. I jolted off Axel and sat up quickly.I looked at him and back at the floorboard. Then I sensed Carson and Brody’s presence immediately.“Looks like your brothers are coming in,” I said, trying to hold back laughter.“Are they?” he said, a small smile curving at the edge of his lips.“Why are you not bothered?”“Brothered? Should I be? Oh, I should be!”There was something fishy about the way he spoke. He probably knew that they were coming.“Wait, you knew your brothers were coming?” I asked, looking at him closely.“Yes, he knew. And we are done starving because of your fight. Now that it is over, can we have our Ashley?”I looked at Brody in shock. This wasn't a coincidence! They were all aware. They planned it.“Carson?” I asked, turning to him.“I just did what had to be done.”“But you acted like you…” I turned to Axel, “You!”“That's enough,” Axel said and dragged me down.My back landed on the bed and in a split second

ASHLEYI had looked forward to the weekend with glee. Since my mum informed me that she would be returning at the end of the week. It was finally Saturday and my joy knew no bounds.I chuckled as I recalled Axel instructing the palace maids that he wanted everything to be in order. He specifically said, ‘Alpha Hendrix standard’.The palace was filled with a lot of bustling as all hands were on deck. By late evening on Friday, the palace was just the way Axel believed his father would like. For me, I was more concerned about seeing my mum than anything else. I could also look forward to many gifts from them. We all stood at the entrance to welcome Alpha Hendrix and my mum. As much as I was happy about the return of my mum, I knew it was not the same for my mates. They did not like their father being around, especially Axel. There was a huge rivalry between them, one that didn't look like it would end anytime soon.The alpha princes, their forms imposing yet gentle, stood at the entra

ASHLEYThe ceremonial welcoming of Alpha Hendrix and my mum continued all day. The elders of the pack arrived and greeted him. their homage. My mum, too, had some meetings with members of the pack, where she shared different gifts among them.Later in the evening, there was an official meeting in the palace hall. Everyone had to attend except me. I kept wishing the meeting would end quickly so I could spend some time with my mates. We had been busy all day, entertaining visitors. I had consoled myself with the thought that we would be together in the evening. My heart broke when I realized there was another meeting.As at 9 pm, the meeting was still on. I ended up chatting with Long Leg Ahjussi. It was when I heard a knock on my door that I realized how much time I had spent chatting.I opened the door with a broad smile on my face, “finally!”“It was really difficult sitting through that meeting and missing you,” Carson said and walked into my room.He held my hand and dragged me to

ASHLEYThe meeting with Alpha Hendrix succeeded in ruining everyone's mood. For some reason, he was fiercer than the last time I saw him. My heart kept thumping through out the meeting. I was worried that he would get physical with his sons.His eyes shone with a fiery gold, causing my wolf to cower. I was grateful that the meeting finally ended even though it was on a bad note.We all went in separate directions. Carson managed to see me to my room, hugged and kissed my forehead. I went to bed hoping that the next day would be better. If there was one thing that really annoyed me, it was the way Alpha Hendrix interrupted out passionate moment.I could already imagine how sweet the sex would be. Gosh! I was going to get fucked from behind while Carson sucked my boobs. I wanted it so badly. As I lay in bed clutching the sheets, my pussy kept pulsating.My body ached for my mates.But there was nothing I could do. I had to wait until we had the change to be together again. I finally fel

ASHLEYFor the next few days, the palace retained its peace. Everyone seemed to be in their lane except for the few times when Alpha Hendrix attacked his sons in the dining room.The triplets intentionally returned from school late. They either stayed in the private lounge or went somewhere else to chill. They would do anything to avoid being in the same place with their father for a long time.They took the time to wait for me so we could all go home together after cheer practice. Since I became the president of the club, the workload has increased massively. I had to not only give instructions, but I also concerned myself with the welfare of the members.The output of the club increased greatly. The girl approached me at different times, saying I made them feel comfortable. I also noticed that they now had new routines regularly. Everyone had something new they wanted to share with the team.I was so proud of myself when the club coach called me to her office and commended my hard w

AXEL“Boys! The throne room, immediately!”I knew I had triggered my dad by being so openly disobedient to him. But I was not moved. I would stand up to him over and over if it was the only way to make him understand that I was no longer a kid. I would do anything to prove to him that I'm not the teenager he used to order around and speak to in demeaning words.I needed him to know that I failed myself by letting him treat my mother so badly. Now, I had become a man and I was ready to prove that to me every single day.His wolf eyes twitched with rage. There was only one wolf that could make me pause in caution and that was my father! He had a rage as bad as a volcano. I remember as a kid, I would run to hide whenever he was angry. His eyes would change first, then his face would become extremely tense.He almost ruined my courage. But thanks to my wolf, I bounced back just as fiercely.We gathered in the throne room watching my dad. His chest rose and fell, threatening to tear open.

ASHLEYI felt a sudden heat serenade my body.I became uncomfortable the moment Alpha Hendrix instructed the princes to meet him in the throne room. I knew there would be an intense argument.I kept pacing restlessly. The throne room was in another wing of the house, so I could not hear anything.The sudden heat I felt was a sign that things were not going right.My eyes narrowed, and my wolf's senses tingled with a sudden surge of pain. I knew immediately that Alpha Hendrix had gotten physical with his sons. A low growl rumbled in my throat. I clutched the hem of my blouse, restlessly. My heart pounded in her chest. I could almost feel their wounds, the sting of the pain.A strong urge to care for them rose within me.I did not need to doubt what I felt. When they eventually showed up, I was not surprised to see the wounds. I felt pity for them. They had to go through this cold war with their dad because they were defending what we shared.By the time I was done cleaning the cuts, th

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
