Sheryl; Alpha Ashton's Beloved Mate time or place
Sheryl’s POVThe hospital was crowded with frantic and drunk students. Most of them were covered in soot from thefire and some of them had blood on them. Thankfully, I only had a little bit of soot because Ashton managed to wipe most of it off my face. It was myclothing that was doing the most damage. Ashton and some of the paramedics thought it would be best if I went to the hospital so they could get me sober. It was clear that I didn’t sustain any actual injuries, but they would rather be safe than sorry.I was brought into a section of the hospital with a few other students who also sustained minor injuries. They hooked some fluid IVs to my wrist and gave me a water bottle. “This IV will help sober you up quickly,” the nurse told me in a kind tone. “You just rest. Is there anyoneyou’d like me to call?”I thought about my parents and how they’d be worried about me. I didn’t want them to know that I snuck out to go to a house party. They would be so disappointed in me. Then, I th

Sheryl’s POV“What’s going on?” I asked as Brody quickly pulled away from me.I recognized the sound of Rachel’s piercing scream right away. I had never heard her sound like this before, but I knew it was her. The sound made its way through the hospital, bouncing off the walls and sending chills downeveryone’s spine. My heart fell into my stomach as I imagined what could possibly be wrong. Then, she said words that felt like a knife to my stomach. “Ryan!!! You can’t be dead!!!” She screamed and sobbed. The hospital nurses and doctors were holding her back, pulling her out of the room. Brody had thecurtain of my section open, and I could see them physically pulling her away. She fought them everystep of the way though.It broke my heart to see her like this. My only hope was that she was just so distraught that she didn’t know what she was talking about. Perhaps she was still a little drunk. My eyes found Ashton’s and they locked for a moment. My breathing got caught in my throat an

Sheryl’s POV“Miss Sheryl?” A nurse said, walking up to us, before Ashton had a chance to answer my question. “I’m sorryto interrupt your conversation. But Miss Rachel is asking for you. She just woke up and you’re the first person she wants to see. She’s calm now if you’d like to see her.”I stood up quickly. “She’s awake already?” I asked.I wasn’t expecting her to wake up this soon but the nurse nodded. “We only gave her a small sedative that lasted less than an hour. It was just to calm her and it seemedto have worked,” the nurse explained.I glanced back down at Ashton who remained in his seat; he was staring at me with a darkened gaze. I could tell there was stuff he wanted to say to me; perhaps he wanted to answer my question. But heremained quiet and continued to stare at me. My heart flipped in my chest, but I had to go see Rachel, so I turned away from him and went with the nurse to the backroom where Rachel’s room was. Rachel lay in her bed, staring at the ceiling, with
Sheryl; Alpha Ashton's Beloved Mate I ignored him
Sheryl’s POV“Elysium?!” I gasped, standing to my feet. “Those in Elysium did that to you?” That explained why she didn’t want to step foot in Elysium again, even for my birthday. My heart achedso much hearing this and I couldn’t even contain my emotions.I paced the room, trying to calm myself down. If I lost control of my emotions, I would soon lose control of my powers and I couldn’t have that happen here. “I didn’t tell anybody,” she told me. “I just waited it out until I was able to be released. Ryan was the oneand only person I wanted to see. Once I got out and lived with him again, I finished getting my highschool diploma, graduating with honors. I was able to get into the shifting academy with Ryan and thenI met you.”“So, Ryan’s been there through it all,” I breathed. She nodded. “Yeah… he never let me forget how much he loved me…” My heart squeezed in my chest. That was the kind of love I aspired to have, and I wasn’t sure I was ever going to get that from Ashton. “Give
Sheryl; Alpha Ashton's Beloved Mate goodbye to Rachel
Ashton’s POV“Dee, you are mistaken,” I said, shaking my head with disgust all over my face. “Bethany is certainly not my mate and Sheryl shouldn’t be thinking such things.” Dee stared up at me as I stood to my feet with alarmed eyes. “I’m so sorry. I just thought—”“You’ve been thinking wrong. Why did you think such a thing?” I asked, keeping my eyes locked onhers. “Because Bethany mentioned it…”“Bethany? She’s the one who told you that she’s, my mate?” I asked in disbelief. “Yes,” Dee said nodding her head. “But she’s been using the fact that she’s your mate to get me to doher bidding. I wanted to be kind to her for your benefit… I had no idea she was lying to me.”“She was,” I muttered. “Has she been cruel to you?”“Nothing I can’t handle.”“That’s not what I asked,” I said, narrowing my eyes. “She’s been fine,” Dee answered, but I knew she was lying. Bethany had crossed the line and now Sheryl was thinking that Bethany was my mate. She couldn’t have believed that right? Sheryl

Sheryl’s POV Having Ashton here at the Nova packhouse was not something I wanted. But I wasn’t going to argue with my father about it. He was keen on having him here to thank him for helping me in the fire.It’s not like I could tell my family the reason why I didn’t want him here. Now I just had to hope that Ashton would decline the offer. I don’t think he wanted to see me either. I thought he would try to avoid me at all costs. My father went to call Ashton while my mother and I talked a little more in the kitchen. “Did anybody get seriously hurt?” She asked. “I heard the host was in critical condition.”“Ryan…” I told her sadly. “Rachel’s boyfriend. He was the host.” She gasped, covering her mouth with her hands as she peered over at me. “Rachel as in your roommate?” She asked, eyeing me carefully.I nodded once. “We don’t know if he’s going to be okay. But we are hoping for the best. She won’t leave the hospital until she knows for sure. I stayed with her last night and Becca is s
Sheryl; Alpha Ashton's Beloved Mate she was in heat
Ashton’s POV What the fuck does she thinks she’s doing?! Sheryl stood in front of me completely naked. Her entire body was illuminating pink, including her face. She looked incredibly uncomfortable, and her whimper only proved that. Her body trembled as she squeezed her legs tight, rubbing them together like she was scratching somekind of itch. She bit onto her swollen bottom lip and whimpered again, gazing up at me like she was pleading for my help.I could smell her honeysuckle scent potently and it was making my mouth water. My member wasshifting automatically in my pants and my wolf was going insane over the view. He was begging me to take our mate as our own and have our way with her, but I was holding himback. She was clearly not in the right state of mind. She was also naked and completely exposed in the hallway of her parent’s apartment.I grabbed onto her arm and pulled her into the closed compacity of my room, sealing the door behind She stumbled into the room and turned

Sheryl’s POV“So, are you going to spill the tea?” Bri asked as she curled up in my bed beside me.I narrowed my eyes at her, trying to figure out what she meant. “What tea?”“Don’t play dumb, Sheryl,” she chuckled. “The tea with you and that hottie Alpha Ashton. What’s the news onyou two?”“There’s no news,” I said, but I spoke a little too quickly because she raised her brows at my expression. “Then why are you blushing?”“I’m not blushing,” I said, pressing my hands to my face. Even I knew that was a lie and I could hear Val laughing at me. Bri rolled her eyes and chuckled. “I’m your best friend and the only one who knows that Ashton is your mate,” she reminded me. “If youcan’t talk to me, then who can you talk to?” She was right; I was going to drive myself crazy if I didn’t talk to somebody about this. The only person I could truly talk to was Brianna. So, I sighed and looked over at her. “Something happened before dinner…” I told her, lowering my tone. She sat up, fixating her

“Earlier today,” I answered with a shrug, trying to seem nonchalant. “But you were busy taking Connie tolunch.”“When did you find out about this little vacation?”“It’s not a little vacation,” I said in return. “It’s a huge opportunity. Plus, I’ll be working as Cassie-Ann’s assistant the entire time. Plus, I could get into that school and really take my career to the next level.”“You can take it to the next level here too,” he said, still trying to process my words. “Why do you needto go across the world to do that?”“Because there’s no better school than the one in Monro,” I said, furrowing my own brows together as I stared over at his amazing side profile. He was so handsome no matter what the view. “Don’t you want me to succeed?”I said that last part using a small voice. I was afraid of his answer because it looked like he had beenthinking about it for a long while. However, he didn’t respond. “I was going to tell you about it…” I said in a softer tone. “I just didn’t think y

Sheryl’s POV My heart was racing in my chest because of the amount of adrenaline rushing through my veins. I hadnever done anything like this before but here I was, breaking somebody out of the hospital. “I can’t leave without knowing if Ryan is going to make it or not,” Rachel said, sliding out of bed. I couldhear the hurt in her voice, and it made me feel sad for her. “I’ll keep you updated,” I promised her. “But for right now, I need to get you out of here. I’m going tocall my dad when we are on the road. I won’t let them take you away to that awful place. You almost died the last time you were there. They should be investigated and shut down.”I still couldn’t believe a facility in a place that I love could be so cruel to other species. I had no ideathose with dark hearts could linger in Elysium. It was always such a loving place. Or maybe I have just been too blind to see what was in front of my face the whole time.I zipped her back and threw it over my shoulder as I made my

Sheryl’s POV“So, you are going to go away all summer?” Becca asked with large eyes as we sat in the studentlounge. “Yes, I think so,” I answered with a head nod. “It’ll be a good opportunity for me. Plus, my parent’s thinkit’ll be a good idea.”“What am I going to do all summer without you?” Becca pouted. “Rachel will probably spend thesummer at the hospital with Ryan.”“I’m sure you’ll figure something out,” I chuckled, but then I frowned once I thought about Rachel. “Any word on how Ryan is?” I asked, peering over at her. She frowned as well and shook her head. “None yet,” she said. “But they are thinking about getting Rachel admitted into a rehab facility. They want to bring her back to the one she was in a few years ago.”“What?” I gasped, my heart falling into my stomach. “I had no idea she was even in rehab before. But they say she went to some place in Elysium,” Beccasaid, thinking more about it. “They want to send her back. I don’t think the doctors talked to her aboutit

Ashton’s POV“Today, I’ll be teaching you how to shift in the air,” I announced to the class of students. “It’s all in thelegs. We kick off from the ground and then begin the shift right when the legs are being pushed off the ground.”I demonstrated with ease, and I was met with applause. “This is used mainly for sneak attacks. I want you to try and sneak attack your partners. Trade-off eachround.” Everyone went with their partners to a different section of the arena for some space. Sheryl stood in the distance, waiting for me because I’m her partner. We hadn’t spoken since my confession at the art show, and I was hoping we wouldn’t have to talk aboutthis again. It was a moment of weakness on my part, and it wasn’t something I was going to allow tohappen again. Connie was right the other day when she said I needed to stay away from Sheryl. It was for her own good. But her tight yoga pants and a tank top that she wore, hugged her body and fit around her every curveso perfectly tha

Sheryl’s POV“An election? This student committee was my idea,” I said, staring between all the school board’s faces until my eyes landed on Sarah who stared at me with a smug grin.I could tell that her intentions weren’t pure, and my stomach was forming into a tight knot. “Yes, but it’s a student committee. Meaning we need to give all students a chance to—”“Take my role as the leader?” I interrupted; they all looked startled by my stubbornness. I wasn’ttypically a stubborn person like this, but I was honestly hurt that it was this easy for them to just replace me. Sarah folded her arms across her chest. “I’ve done a lot of wrongs while I’ve been at this school. This gives me the chance to do somethinggood for once,” she said, eyeing me carefully. That smug look was still in her eyes though. She was pulling their strings. She didn’t care about this committee; she just didn’t want me to have it. “If I lose, where does that leave me?”“Worried you’ll lose?” Sarah asked, a grin appea

Ashton’s POV“You went to the art show, Ashton?” Connie nearly hissed, stepping in front of me as I sat on the couch in my living room. “What are you even still doing here, Connie?” I muttered, kicking off my shoes. “Didn’t your contract end a week ago?” She pouted, folding her arms across her chest. “Yes,” she answered. “But I don’t have anywhere else to go. I’m in between jobs and my next contract doesn’t start for another couple of weeks.”“So, why can’t you stay elsewhere?”“I don’t know anyone on this part of the continent,” Connie said, shaking her head. “You are my onlyfriend in town, and I’d like to stay close to you. Is that such a crime?”“Are you going to be a pest the entire time?” I asked, but I meant it almost teasingly despite how dry my tone was. Connie could see through my humor right away though and rolled her eyes as she sat beside me. “You are trying to avoid the conversation,” Connie pointed out, reminding me just how well she knew me. “You went to the art show.”
Sheryl; Alpha Ashton's Beloved Mate final decision
Sheryl’s POV What did he just say?I stared up at him with wide and shocked eyes. I could hardly breathe standing in front of him. We were outside and the air was starting to get brisk.It was growing late in the evening and only the faint lighting of the moon, hidden behind a few clouds, lit up the ground around us. “I can’t seem to get you out of my head,” Ashton repeated, keeping his eyes locked on mine. “And that’s a problem.”I wanted to say something to him, anything, but no words were coming into my head. I couldn’t believe he was saying such a thing. “Ashton, I—” Before I could utter a single word more, he stepped closer to me, closing the small gap that sat between us. He wrapped his hand around the back of my neck to hold my head in place as he paced hisforehead against mine. His breathing slowed down to match mine and his eyes shut for a brief moment before he openedthem and gazed down at my lips.I wanted to stand on my toes and kiss him; I didn’t know what else to say o
Sheryl; Alpha Ashton's Beloved Mate Kate and Emily
Sheryl’s POVThere was a part of me that was hoping that Ashton wouldn’t show up. Emily and Kate were especially happy to meet him when I told them he agreed to come. We spent most of the morning setting up the gallery for the show. The caterers arrived just in time toset up their stations for food and drinks and per request, Brody arrived with his guitar. After talking with Brody over time, I discovered that he was huge into music and that it was a passion of his. I heard him playing in the student lounge and I knew he would be perfect entertainment for the art show. “Where should I set up?” He asked, holding up his red velvet guitar case. “I’ll show you,” I said, walking toward a secluded area where a few paintings were set up. “You can set up your station however you want,” I told him with a kind smile. “Hey, Sheryl! Can you help me place napkins around the tables?” Cassidy-Ann asked from across the room.I nodded to her and went to grab the napkins in the back room. As I was in t

Sheryl’s POV“Absolutely not!!!” Val growled with fury boiling through her. I had to clutch the desk to keep her tameand not lose control. “We will not be introducing these whores to our mate!!”“Maybe he would finally reject us if we did though,” I said, trying to reason with her. Yes, it was painful to think about, but this might be a blessing in disguise. Perhaps this was the pushAshton needed to finally reject us and let us live our lives without the burden of being his mate. My stomach was in a complete knot as I stared around at the eager faces that stared back at me. They were waiting for an answer and Val wasn’t letting me say anything to them. “We know he’s unmated because he hasn’t found his mate yet. We heard through a grapevine that he’s on the market for a chosen mate,” one of the chuckled. “Yeah, that famous singer Bethany is staying with him, trying to get him to choose her. She has a better chance than anybody, but we would also like a shot.”I couldn’t believe what
