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
