Xavier stepped back when he reminisced the words of the moon goddess. He realized she wasn’t bluffing when she meant death.
Ashley looked at him with worry in her eyes. “His wolf seems troubled” Xena informed her, “Yeah I can sense that” Ashley replied.
“I have an idea as to why you summoned me here alpha Xavier” Ashley started.
Xavier’s eyes darted to her as he snapped out of his thoughts. For a reason he didn’t want to reject Ashley, something about her made him want to change his ways.
“I’m sure you are aware of the mate bond between us” Xavier chimed in, not sure of how to accept her as he has never done it before.
“That is it alpha Xavier” Ashley responded, “Please just call me Xavier” he insisted with a half smile.
“Uhmm okay al-, sorry Xavier I know you have never accepted any of your mates and I wouldn’t be any different so we should just-” Ashley was cut off when Xavier butted in.
“No no, before you even go there I’m not going to reject you” Xavier explained.
“What do you mean al- Xavier?” Ashley stuttered.
“I’ve never really done this before,” Xavier said as he took a deep breath.
“I Xavier Evatt Alpha of the Grandcrest pack, accept you Ashley Valta as my mate” As he finished saying those words he felt more drawn to her.
Ashley was dumbfounded, she couldn’t believe the words she just heard, but her state of confusion was immediately replaced with a smile as she felt his hands around her.
Out of emotion, Xavier kissed her intensely, she was startled by his actions but she returned the kiss as their lips synced with each other.
Koa was excited that he had finally been united with his mate. “This is the best feeling ever,” Koa said. “Yes it truly is, I never knew how good it would feel” Xavier responded inwardly with a smile.
Xavier gently pulled away “The marking ceremony will be two days from now” he informed with a grin as he led Ashley out of the mansion.
She was about to walk out the gates when she turned around to face him “Thank you for accepting me, you don’t know what you’ve done for him” Ashley commented.
“I’ll see you soon my Luna” Xavier expressed in a romantic tone and she gave him a sweet smile as they drove off to her house.
“Luna? Well, that was quick” Koa remarked. “I know right she feels different to me” Xavier replied. “and I like it”.
Ashley couldn’t contain her excitement as she informed her parents of the news. She called Keithera and she was equally excited to hear the news.
“But Ash be careful, he could still go about sleeping with as many girls as he wants” Keithera sneered but Ashley didn’t give much thought to that.
The call ended and Keithera picked up her phone and informed the person on the other end of the news she just heard and they both devised a plan.
The day for the marking ceremony came and Ashley was already prepared.
Xavier came to the Valta household with his mother, Rosalie who couldn’t be more happy for her son that he finally found a mate.
He approached Ashley, and her vanilla mixed with honey scent filled his nostrils which made Koa go crazy. Ashley went on to reveal the skin between her neck and shoulders.
Xavier lowered his head and pressed his elongated canines gently into her skin, which made Ashley
wince. A bold mark was left on the spot signifying she had been claimed.
Their bond grew stronger as they could read each other’s thoughts. “I can’t believe it, we finally have our mate” Xena beamed.
“Oh shit I can read her thoughts, I love the way she sounds, so sexy” Koa gushed as he listened keenly.
“We can hear you,” Xavier and Ashley hinted to their wolves.
Xavier carried Ashley in bridal style to the car as they made their way to the mansion. He assigned a personal bodyguard to her whose name was Jasper.
Many days later, Ashley was gradually getting settled in her new home as Luna.
Ashley was reading a book in the room when Jasper knocked on the door. “The alpha would like to see you in the garden” Jasper informed. She didn't bother to mind-link Xavier as she left the room.
She made her way down the stairs when Jasper used a heavy tool to knock her in the head and she passed out. Ashley was carried in a sack that had aconite in it to prevent her from shifting.
Jasper followed a hidden back door where no one could see him as he put her in a car and drove far away from the mansion. He carried her into an abandoned building.
He left her then and drove off. She sustained injuries as Jasper couldn’t carry her properly. “What’s happening?” Ashley questioned in a weak tone. “I’m not sure” Xena replied weaker than Ashley.
“I can’t even shift” Ashley spoke again and Xena replied, “I don't know who but we have been weakened by aconite”. This made Ashley panic as she tried to mind-link Xavier but it wasn’t working.
Back in the palace. Jasper made a call, “I have done what you asked my love” and the person on the other end commended him.
Keithera approached Xavier when she got to the palace. He was confused when he laid eyes on her “What are you doing here?” Xavier asked, his voice laced with anger.
“Calm down, I come bearing good news” Keithera responded cheekily as she rubbed the shoulders of Xavier. He quickly threw her hands away.
Keithera continued and said with a mischievous smile “You know that little exciting night we had, well it produced an offspring for you”.
Xavier was shocked, he never expected his one night with Keithera to have this outcome. To maintain his reputation he decided to hide her from Ashley and everyone else.
He glared at her and said, “And why should I believe you that the baby is mine”.
Keithera gave him a sealed envelope and Xavier scanned the contents of the letter, seeing it was a DNA test and It was confirmed that the child was indeed his.
“Look you will speak of this to no one” Xavier commanded as he battled with the evidence before him.
“On one condition, I have to become your Luna” Keithera retaliated as she smiled to herself knowing everything was coming together.
He was aghast at the audacity she had to utter such words “ I am still your alpha so I’m saying to you now stay away from this place, I will think about it” Xavier growled.
She quivered in fear but still managed to say “Be fast with whatever your decision, but I must be Luna” Keithera retorted and left his presence.
Jasper saw her leaving but then she stopped when her phone rang, making him curious as to why she stopped.
“So did he believe it?” The person on the other end questioned. “Yes, he believed everything, now this must stay between us” Keithera beckoned and she continued walking.
He didn’t bother to ask her as he went on his way, noticing most of the guards weren’t around the mansion he asked a worker.
“Do you know where the king might be?” Jasper questioned, and the worker replied “Could you believe the Luna has been abducted, the alpha has gone out with some of the guards to search for her”.
Jasper’s heart sank as he was already starting to sweat, he couldn’t believe what the alpha would do if he found out who abducted the Luna.
The moment Xavier realized Ashley had been abducted he was furious, he grew angrier that the mind link didn't work and he shifted. He set out with his guards as they scattered across their territory to look for her. He closed in on an abandoned building that was sitting in the middle of nowhere. and he could smell her scent faintly. He broke the locked door and was disheartened when he saw the state Ashley was in.Ashley’s unconscious body was on the cold hard floors with bruises on her hands and legs, her hair covering her pale face. Xavier shifted back and carried her in his arms.A tear ran across his face as he looked at the state of his Luna. “Whoever did this is going to pay dearly” Xavier seethed. “I couldn’t agree more,” Koa huffed. Xavier quickly called the pack doctor when he got to the mansion, and he arrived immediately and examined Ashley.“The wounds aren’t too deep so they’ll heal quickly, she was weakened by aconite but I placed a liquid in her mouth for treatment”
Under the reign of Xavier and Ashley, the Grandcrest pack became stronger in the Kingdom of Damona Rock.Rumors spread everywhere concerning the fact that the alpha finally picked a Luna, and she could be the reason why the pack is flourishing.The sky was low and gray, the rain came steady and cold against the roof of the Royal mansion. It was a cold evening and the workers were bustling around to keep the mansion warm as they closed all windows and made fire in the chimney.Ashley's parents have since moved to the Royal mansion and they have been living peacefully with the Queen. Isabel and Rosalie became very close and would often spend day and night talking about random issues.Isabel was sitting in the living room, reading a fashion magazine when Rosalie stepped in.As it was their tradition to always bow before the royalty, Rosalie urged them to refrain from it and address her as she would any other pack member.“I see you are feeding your eyes with more outfits to design, have
In the vast dining hall, the architecture of the room was built to fit a king, with the tall white walls that blended with the black-gold encrusted glass table that was already filled with numerous dishes. The white cushioned chairs were pushed under the table decorated with white veils around them.The gold chandelier filled the room with luminous light, and the chimney brought warmth to the cold atmosphere. The aroma of food was dancing about everyone’s noses as they couldn’t wait to dig in.Ashley's parents and Rosalie were already seated at the table waiting for their children to join them.Ashley walked leisurely to the table and sat on a different chair so she wouldn’t be close to Xavier. She could feel eyes on her and glanced at everyone giving them a small smile.“Is everything alright my dear? Where is Xavier?” Rosalie questioned giving a glance at Ashley wondering why she decided to change from her normal seating position.“He’s on his way” Ashley replied and forced a smile
Ashley’s eyes went wide, as her mind quickly went to the story Xavier told her on how his father died. She came back to reality and placed her palm over Xavier's cheek. “What happened, Is anything wrong?” Ashley questioned.Xavier closed in and planted a quick kiss on her lips. “Let’s talk about this after a shower and breakfast Okay” Xavier put an arm over her waist as they walked down the hallway to their room.Ashley sniffed his arm and wrinkled her nose “Yeah you especially, you stink babe” she said this and laughed at the upset face Xavier made, looking at her laughing, Xavier burst out in laughter too.They got to the room and tidied themselves up before going back downstairs to have breakfast. They walked hand in hand to the dining hall, and Rosalie and Isabel grinned ear to ear seeing their children on good terms again.Xavier went ahead of Ashley and pulled out the seat next to him for her. She walked elegantly to the seat and mindlinked Xavier before sitting. ‘Why thank you
Ashley was bewildered, her mouth was agape in shock, with eyes wide open in surprise. “What?” She managed to murmur as she was still trying to process what she just heard.“There are things I’ve been keeping from you Ash and-“ Xavier was cut off as Ashley stood up from the bed in anger.“So you have been lying to me all this while? Why didn’t you tell me you had a brother? Did you lie about your father's death too?” Ashley barked, spitting every question that her mind was bringing up.The last question she asked got to Xavier's head making him infuriated, he immediately stood up and raised his hand to her face wanting to land a slap over it, but he closed his eyes and clenched his palm.“Don’t you ever ask me that? Don't you ever question my father’s death? How dare you even ask me that?” Xavier retorted with a face filled with anger and eyes of rage pointing at her face.Ashley’s anger quickly quenched at the sound of Xavier's angry tone. “I'm sorry, I just…I” She stammered trying to
It was a sunny and vibrant day as Ashley’s 21st birthday was celebrated and her parents planned everything as this was the age where she would get to shift into her werewolf form. They made big plans, especially for the marking ceremony.Balloons spread across the floors and some floated in the air. A big banner hung in the middle of the living room that read ‘Happy 18th Birthday Ash’. A two-step chocolate-covered cake was made specially for her as it was her favorite flavor.The room was filled with music and the atmosphere was buzzing with celebration. Ashley didn’t let a frown appear on her face as she was with people who loved and cherished her. She was all dressed up in a short red dress that hugged her curves perfectly and she let her long dark hair flow gorgeously down her back. She coupled her cute dress with a pair of black stiletto heelsThey all presented gifts to her and she couldn’t stop grinning from ear to ear and she ripped the paper off the boxes filled with gifts.

“Haven’t you heard the alpha king rejected another mate, I wonder how he would rule our pack without a Luna by his side” A friend of Ashley’s mother informed her as she sat down beside Isabel, throwing a glance at Ashley.“Ashley dear, how are you?” Isabel’s friend asked, observing every part of her with a look of worry in her eyes. Upon the mention of her name, Ashley didn’t move an inch from her existing position.Isabel knew her daughter wouldn’t reply to her friend so she answered for her to prevent any form of disrespect towards her and to take away attention from her daughter’s situation.“She is fine thank you, so what you were saying about the alpha” Isabel started trying to change the topic from her daughter's predicament.Ashley tried to shut her ears to their conversation not bothering to reply to her mother’s friend. She was sprawled out on the couch, still reliving the words of rejection from Davian.It’s been 3 months since Ashley was rejected and she still hasn’t gotten
Keithera felt angry and surprised at the same time when she heard the name, but she had to adjust her expression so Ashley wouldn’t notice and fortunately for her, she was still staring blankly into space.Why would this happen, how could the moon goddess do this to her and bless Ashley with the destiny she could have by becoming Luna. She remembered the words of rejection from Xavier and came back to her senses.‘I can’t let this happen, I am the one meant to be Luna’ Keithera declared to herself inwardly, with a forced smile planted on her face, she looked at Ashley.“Ash, that's wonderful news, you will become the Luna of our pack” Keithera spoke up with a face now full of happiness.“What are you saying, don’t you know he would reject me like the others, what makes me any different?” Ashley scolded her friend as she tried to implant false hope in her mind.Keithera wanted to be supportive and at the same time stop her from being his mate. She had to use the right words to convince
