I didn’t sleep throughout last night. My eyes were wide open and my heart kept hammering by the second. I didn’t want to agree with Ashton but he put me in a tight position where I had no choice but to move into his room. His hand was on my waist throughout the night, he says he wanted to make sure that I didn’t leave the room while he is asleep. I doubt he even slept because every move of mine made him react. I just don’t get him, why will he suddenly ask me to move into his room- oh wait, I’m his thrall so I have to move in with him. Just like yesterday, I got out of bed very early today so I can make him his coffee. I thank god that while making the coffee I didn’t see Willow and I can’t be more grateful to know that Willow still hasn’t found out about me being Ashton’s thrall or worse find out that I now sleep in Ashton’s room on his bed, by his side. She will totally kill me for that one. I have been working on this for so long, my back is aching, and can’t feel my hands any
~ MAYA’S POVThe next day….I step out of Ashton's room and am about to head into the kitchen to get something when I saw Ashton’s mom stepping out of the store room with a plate in her hand. It looks like the remaining food on the plate was stale. She looked around her environment making sure that no one was watching her, I instantly hid behind the wall and I peak my head to see what she was going. Once she realized the coster was clear, she closed the door behind her and walked away. What the hell was that about? I kept to where I stood until I heard no more noise of her heels clicking on the floor. I peeked my head to confirm that she is really gone before I walked into the store room. I have been wanting to come back here since the last time I came. There are so many things here and I think I can find something that can help find out more about my mom. The storeroom is still dusty, I had to cough my way through the shelves. I wonder how Ashton’s mom always enters this room, I
Mature content is below, please read at your own risk. ~ MAYA’S POV"What did you say?"Did I hear that right? Did Ashton just ask me to strip? Like, take off my clothes? Probably not. He can be cruel sometimes but he wouldn't do that, would he? He wouldn't let me embarrass myself like that, would he?Maybe I didn't hear well."You heard me! Take off your clothes, don't waste my time- I don't have all day." He yelled out.My eyes widened - I did hear it right, Ashton wants me to strip naked, why would I do that? Why did he even think of that? And why did he think that I would listen to him?"Are you crazy?" I shouted staring at him, "Did you even listen to what you just said?" Disbelief laced my words.Ashton came dangerously closer to me, making me take two steps back, my heart hammered dangerously against my ribcage."Do as I say." His intense angry eyes pierced my skin. "If you don't oblige, I promise you a death sentence. You will be hanged and it’s not just gonna be you. Jane an
~ MAYA’S POVThis land and everything about it is so frustrating, I can’t keep up with it. Ashton has made me realize that no matter how comforting a place is, it’s never going to be home. I need to focus on my mission and once I’m done with it, I will get the hell out of here. When Ashton saved my life the other day, I thought that maybe there are good people out there and maybe Ashton is one of them but I guess I was wrong, he is worse than the evil ones, he is cruel, arrogant and now I understand why no one wants to be around him. My greatest mistake was letting my emotions take the best of me. I always feel nervous around him, I thought that maybe it meant something but even if it did. I will make sure that I crush that feeling before it gets to my heart. I had my fair share of crying last night, I had enough time and space to think for a while. Crying In front of Ashton wouldn’t make him feel sorry for his actions, in fact, it will infiltrate his stupid ego. It will make him
I woke up to the sensation of being crushed. I wriggled, pushing my shoulder backward. Ashton shifted his weight off of me slightly. He was spooning me from behind, breathing deeply into the back of my hair. His heavy arm was draped over me, pinning my arms to my chest, he was holding my hand tightly, our fingers interlaced, and his leg was slung casually over mine.This is the fifth time in a roll Ashton is doing this. I just don’t get why he can’t stay on his own side of the bed without turning around to my side. I turn around to the window, and by the look at the weather, I know it’s six o’clock which means it’s time to make the great Alpha his great coffee. I take his hand off my body but before I could make a move he draped it back on me."You don’t have to do that. We can be together, we can have a life together." He whimpers in his sleep.I should have known that this is coming. Whenever Ashton rolls to my side of the bed, it’s always because he’s having one of his worst nightm
~ ASHTON’S POVI got out of the room feeling the urge to punch someone in the jaw. It’s so frustrating how I try to stop those nightmares from happening yet it keeps coming to me. When Maya said that, I felt like my heart just sank in. I never want anyone to know about that. But how? How does Maya know about it? Did she hear me say something? Does she know about it? Oh God! This is so frustrating!Walking through the hallway, I see that annoying maid, Willow standing at the front. She has that irritating smile on her face. I am already angry and if she annoys me to a certain extent I might do something she’ll probably regret. She walks seductively in my direction and that only got me angrier, I feel like venting all of my anger on her. I just hate it when women throw themself on me, I mean, they are more than that. "Hi, Alpha Ashton." She said seductively, twirling her hair around her finger.I hate it when ladies do that. Is it supposed to be sexy?I don’t answer her nor even loo
~ MAYA’S POVMy breath seized the moment Ashton climbed on me, and the second he kissed me, I was bewildered by his actions not that he hasn’t kissed me before but the way he kissed me was sensational. A certain strange feeling rushed through me and I somehow like it.Ashton stayed quiet for some time, just staring at me. His dark piercing eyes were locked in mine and I was beginning to feel quite uncomfortable with our current position. My body was reacting strangely to it and I don’t know why. "You want to?" He asked gazing down at my chest and then at my eyesI don’t know what he’s talking about but I nodded anyways. I somehow feel good about whatever he’s saying. Ashton smirks before crushing his lips on mine. He kissed me hungrily, I felt a burn on my body when his large hands touched my face, our tongues fought for dominance but eventually, he won. When his large hands held my neck choking me while kissing, that turned me on. I was a moaning mess and he hasn't even touched me.
~ MAYA’S POVAshton didn’t come back to the room last night and for some reason, I was bothered. I don’t know why but I curse myself every minute for thinking or even caring about him. I shouldn’t be doing that. He hurt me, he used me like a piece of cloth and just toss me like I was nothing. I couldn’t sleep last night, all I could think about is what Ashton said to me. I don’t know why but I don’t believe his words, I think he was just trying to convince himself. The way Ashton behaved last night made me very curious, I want to know why reacted like that toward me, I am pretty sure that something is wrong with him.There is something I don’t know.When Ashton kissed me last night, it was different from all other times. I felt a strange connection between us and somehow I saw a different look in his eyes. "Maya, can you help me out here?" Grace asked pulling me out of my thoughts. Grace is one of the maids, I met her the first day I came here. I stood up from the kitchen stool whe
I love Ashton so much and I am so excited for our big day tomorrow but I’m extremely nervous. I’m having cold feet. I know I want to marry him but I’m scared. I mean, marriage is a big deal. I don’t know if I can do it. I have been standing in front of Victoria’s room for almost ten minutes now. I want to go in and speak to her but I don’t want her to think I’m unserious, I tried speaking to Jane but she is of no help, I wanted to speak to Dad but he is not here tonight, he is at Ashton’s bachelor's party. Ashton didn’t want to have a party but Ryle and Aiden insisted on throwing one for him. Dad joined them because didn’t want to be stuck with the girls and he says he wouldn’t want to miss Ashton’s bachelor’s party for anything. While they had gone, Victoria, Jane, and I had a little fun girl's night. We did a lot of fun activities and we had a lot of fun. But eventually, we all got tired and decided to go to bed, of course, I didn’t go to bed because I was too nervous. I release
~ ASHTON’S POVI have been working on this for the past one week. I want everything to be perfect and for that to happen it has to go as planned. This is one of the most important things I’m going to do in life and I don’t want to screw it. I look at the arrangements one more time, it looks good but I can’t help but think it’s not the best work. I want everything to go exactly the way Maya dreamt about it. If I’m the man of her dreams then I should be able to propose to her the way she dreamt about it. I earlier told Jane about it and since I want it to be a surprise I asked Jane to keep Maya busy so she doesn’t suspect a thing. They are at home right now and I think in a couple of minutes they will come here to the restaurant. I want to propose here because this is Maya’s favorite place for dinner dates and we spent a lot of our wonderful times here.I can not wait to see Maya’s reaction when I propose. I even asked Aiden to videotape her reaction when I propose to her. I would love
~ A month laterI got discharged from the hospital and my wound seem to have already healed. The doctor said the cut wasn’t that deep which I am glad it isn’t. Things have been going pretty good around here. I have had one of my best times in this month. To say I am happy is an understatement because I am way more than happy- I am elated. I have the most wonderful family with me which has two of my favorite people in the world. Dad and Ashton. I think Dad is as happy as I am. I am really glad that he’s feeling much healthier now, and he has been enjoying his time with us and he is getting the hang of being around everyone. At first, he seem a little scared around people but now he is comfortable. I can not be any more happier to see him smiling every day. Ashton on the other hand, has been nothing but supportive of me and Dad. He spends quality time with his dad and I think his dad likes him, at first, he wasn’t sure of Ashton because he is Narya’s son but Ashton showed him that he
I woke up to the sound of the heart monitor beeping to my left. Am I in the hospital? I turn my gaze around to see Ashton sleeping soundly close to my lap with his hand holding mine. I smiled at him, he must have spent the night here. I look around the room and realize that I am in a hospital and I’m wearing an oxygen mask. I take the mask off my face and as I move my hand to massage my forehead, Ashton wakes up. He looks at me and a smile stretched its way across his lips "Maya." He looks very delighted to see me. He stands up and kisses my forehead. "How are you feeling?" He asked but doesn’t allow me to respond to the question. "I will go get the nurse.""No wait, Ashton." I halted his actions "Why am I here?" My voice came out low, it sounded barely above a whisper. Ashton looks like he is about to speak but before he could, I said "And why are you here?" I remember him saying that he won’t be around for a day. I am surprised that he is back so early or is he? Has it been a day?
I pushed the door again and to my surprise, it opened. I didn’t even try that hard. "Let’s go, Dad," I said. We were about to walk out of the room when we suddenly came face to face with Narya. My face falls as our eyes met. I never actually liked her but now I feel more hated towards her. "What a surprise, you found your old man." She said with a smile on her face. Why the hell is she even smiling? I was about to throw a remark on that when she effortlessly pushes my dad to the ground. "Dad." I gasped as I reach to help him. "Are you okay?" I embraced him. I check his arm to see if he is injured and thankfully, he isn’t. Turning my gaze to her, I begin my rant. I have been waiting to give her a piece of my mind the moment I saw my dad tied up here "You witch! How dare you push him." I push her to the wall. She always says I don’t have the strength of a Luna but now I will show her that I may not have the strength of a Luna but I do have the strength to hurt her. I will make her s
My jaw dropped and my eyes flickered open in shock. "Dad," I said as a single tear rolled down my cheeks. I can not believe this, the man sitting in front of me is my father. Tears streamed down my face and I looked at him to see a hint of confusion in his eyes. I don’t think he recognizes me. I take a step closer to him and I knelt next to him "You’re my father." I said; my voice very low. I reach to gently palm his face with my hand but he instantly wince away, shaking his head. Is he scared of me? "Dad, I-" I broke into tears. I don’t know what to say, I never expected to see him again. It’s been eleven years- eleven goddam years since I’ve seen him and now he’s here sitting In front of me- my dad is here. Hot tears streamed down my face as I hold his hand in mine. I gently squeeze his hand, my eyes shut as tears continue to stream down my face. I am never letting go of his hands, this feels like a dream to me. My father is sitting in front of me.I gently open my eyes and as my
I kept to where I stood until I heard no more noise of her heels clicking on the floor. I peeked my head to confirm that she is really gone before I gently pull the door open and walked into the store room. I made sure I closed the door quietly so she doesn’t hear a single noise. The second I realized she was about to turn around, I hid behind the shelf. I hold my breath as my heart lurched into my chest. I don’t want to make a single noise otherwise, I would be dead. It’s good that she just started liking me, but once she sees me here, she will go back to hating me and I will be dead meat. Speaking of dead meat, my heart starts to go a mile a minute as panic took over. I can not really comprehend why my heart is beating too fast, maybe it’s because I’m scared that she will see me or because I took immediate action. "Do you think she saw us?" Victoria asked me."I don’t think so," I respond "But what if she did?""If she did, she would have said something or even come to check," I
It’s late at night, and everywhere seems to be dark. I guess the lights aren’t on. I am standing in the middle of the hallway, I don’t know why and how I got here. I use my hand to feel the wall trying to find the light switch, as I did, I reach to turn it off when I heard the clicking noise of a heel. I think someone is coming. I turn my gaze to the direction I heard the sound. It’s dark and I can not see who it is. I furrowed my brows as I saw a silhouette just moving around in the dark but when I moved my head to get a clear view. I noticed it was Ashton’s mom. What is she doing here and why is she on heels in the middle of the night? She revealed herself through the darkness, I noticed she is holding a plate that contains raw onions and plain white rice. I wonder why.I was about to speak to her but my words caught in my throat when she walked past me almost like she didn’t see me. That was strange. What is going on with her?Walking straight to the storeroom. She stopped at t
~ NARYA’S POV (ASHTON’S MOM)God! I hate pretending, I just hate to behave differently because of someone; someone undeserving. I shouldn’t even be pretending, that stupid girl isn’t worth it at all. She is worthless, I just don’t know what Ashton sees in her, she is not pretty, she’s not smart, she is nothing, she’s not even able of doing anything not to mention she’s not the kind of Luna this town deserves. I wish I could just rip her skull out and kill her right away so all this will come to an end but I can’t, at least not right now but maybe someday. Right now, I need her because she’s my only key to my son. I can only convince him that she’s not the right person for him when I get him to trust me. Maya may be a nice person but despise her.I despise her even more than I despise her mother. Maya is exactly like her mother, stupid, useless, and of course not worthy of being the Luna. Sometimes when I think of Maya, I feel like she’s worse than her mother. At least her mother was
