ASHLEYI ate food brought by my step-brothers and I was still alive. Have they changed? Or was it just the effect of the mate bond on them? I had to clear my mind off the thoughts and get ready for school. I went downstairs just to be sure Axel had not sent the servants back to their quarters. I knew how brutal he could be. I got to the living room and everywhere was clean. I checked other parts of the house, and not a single thing was out of place. This whole special treatment was beginning to look real. A feeling of relief washed over me. At least I didn't have to do those annoying house chores. I quietly walked back to my room. I got in the shower and for a short while, I was ready to leave for school. it felt so good leaving for school without body aches from doing so much work.I stepped out into the living room and Brody was waiting by the door. He stood there like a monument, ogling me.What the fuck is his problem? I quirked my brow at him, wondering what was going on.
AXELI lay face up in bed after dropping the call with Jasmine. In the midst of the mate bond madness, she seemed like the only thread of sanity left in my life. I was so glad when she told me she was close to the palace and would spend the night with me.Jasmine's scent filled my senses before she stepped into my room. I felt awakened and alert. I waited anxiously for her to walk into my room. It seemed like it was taking forever. Then my door creaked softly as she entered and my brain did a double somersault.My nerves were on edge. I just wanted to ravish her sexy body. Her desire equaled mine. Her eyes were cloudy and she looked at me hungrily. I could tell she was not ready for small talk. She rushed over to me and placed her hands on my shoulders.“Oh, baby!” she moaned and began kissing me.Fuck the stupid mate bond. The only person I wanted to be with was Jasmine.I grabbed and pinned her to the wall. My eyes traveled over her face slowly and eventually landed on her lips. Des
AXELI gritted my teeth, forcing myself to focus back on Jasmine. I buried my face in her neck and kissed her softly. I could not let thoughts of Ashley ruin the moment. I had to handle things well.I raised my head and looked at her, “I just want more of you baby. It feels like I cannot get enough.”Jasmine reached up and kissed me. Her naked breasts pressed against my chest and I moaned. I held her waist and pulled her closer to me.I grabbed a handful of her breasts and ran my finger playfully around her nipples. She pushed closer to me with her mouth slightly open. I placed my hand on her other breast and held both of them firmly. I squeezed them softly, causing Jasmine to moan.Then I bent a little and kissed her lips while fondling her breast. She arched towards me, wanting more. I plunged my tongue into her mouth. Then I began locking her face, hungrily.A soft gasp escaped her mouth as I bent down and sucked her breast. She pushed her fingers into my hair, yearning for more.
AXELI felt cornered.The moon goddess had to be joking with her crazy matchmaking. I felt like shit! For the first time, I hated the whole idea of a stupid mate bond. I did all I could to detach myself from the drama but it seemed impossible.I went downstairs to join my brothers for breakfast and Ashley was seated too. A storm of rage ran through me. Ashley now sat at the table with us! What audacity!It was even more annoying that I could not do anything about it. If only one of my brothers saw things from my perspective, she would not be on that table. But they were completely sold out to the whole mate bond saga. I took rigid steps to the dining room and sat as far from Ashley as possible.The anger I felt was palpable. I tightened my jaw as I stared at my brothers, trying to make jokes with her. They couldn't stop talking to her and it was highly irritating.I tore my eyes away from them and focused on the plate of rice and turkey that was placed before me. I wasn't going to let
ASHLEYMy mind kept going back to Axel's behavior during breakfast.I knew Axel to be violent and somewhat uncouth. He was simply arrogant. But I was still trying to understand the reason for the madness he displayed at the dining table. At least he had stopped accusing me of manipulating the mate bond. That was the worst part of it for me.My heart skipped as I recalled the strong current that flowed through my body when our eyes met. It felt so strong, I had to tear my eyes from him. Despite his meanness, I still found myself desiring him. The sight of Axel caused goosebumps to appear on my skin.I could not help but imagine erotic moments with him. I knew I had no right thinking of Axel in that manner. He hated me too much and there was no way he would stoop to the point of wanting to have sex with me.I blamed it all on the mate bond. That was the only explanation I had for being so intimidated by Axel's presence and still having intimate thoughts of him.I decided to step out of
AXELI drove into the palace feeling like a superstar. It had been a very long day after a lengthy business meeting with some clients. I had represented my dad and the deal pulled through. If it had gone any other way, I would not have heard the last of it.As I walked towards the front porch, I knew my mood was about to change. My brothers were outside with Ashley, discussing what I had no idea about.I took rigid steps towards them, with a stern look on my face. The sound of my footsteps called their attention and they looked up at me. My frown deepened and I saw Ashley flinch at the sight of me. I finally reached them and realized there were various gifts displayed before Ashley.“What the fuck is going on here?”“A good evening to you too, brother,” Brody said, a serious look on his face.I acknowledged him with a curt nod and turned back to the gifts. The fact that Ashley looked so comfortable with those gifts before her was even more annoying to me. Who the hell did she think sh
AXELYou don't expect me to beg Ashley, do you!” I asked, angrily.It felt like my chest was clogged with fury. I tried to hold back the boiling rage that coursed through my body. I looked from Brody to Carson and back.It felt as if someone had hit me hard across the face. I could not believe what I heard. They wanted me, Axel, in all my dominance to beg Ashley?I was disappointed. Never would I have thought that this day would come when alpha males would act like second-class citizens.Carson exhaled and buried his face in his palms. I waited for him to speak. He was probably going to tell me that Brody was joking about going to Ashley.“I know how difficult this is, but we are not going to beg her. We just want to…”“To what?” I cocked my brow at him.They could not be serious about begging Ashley. I stared intently at them. I was waiting for the part where they would say they were just pulling my leg.I could not believe my brothers were willing to trade their pride for an Omeg
ASHLEYI was enjoying the music playing from my speaker. It filled the room, blurring out sound from outside. I sang along while cleaning my body. I had just come out of the shower after a refreshing bath. I was still toweling my body when my wolf whimpered.Then she jolted, signaling to me that someone was close by. I went to the window and checked. There was no one coming from the gate. I rolled my eyes questioningly and went back to drying my skin.I had just put some lotion on my palm when my wolf began prancing anxiously. I sensed a very familiar presence close to me. It was as if a strong force surrounded me. I knew then that it was the triplets. Maybe one of them.Carson?Why was he coming to me? I wondered.What did they want this time? Was it still about the gift? I rejected their gifts. There was no way I would have even accepted them. Not after those mean words Axel said.That good-for-nothing prick!If any of them were coming to me, they would want to enter my room. I paus
