Sheryl ’s POVI wasn’t feeling good.I don’t know if it was something I ate; perhaps I had too much cake. Or maybe it was too much to drink.I only had a couple of glasses of wine at most.But I was suddenly feeling lightheaded. I was also feeling a wave of heat crossing my features. MyThe heartbeat was heavy, and I needed to sit down before I completely passed out.“Sheryl bean, why don’t I take you to your room so you can lie down,” my mother suggested, sitting beside me on the couch. I was faced with a few concerned eyes as I tried to maintain my breathing.“I’m okay,” I tell her.I would hate to leave my own party early. My parent’s worked so hard to make this evening perfect andI didn’t want to disappoint them.“You are burning up, you might have a fever.”“I don’t want to be rude,” I say, looking up at her. “Some Alpha’s traveled far to be here.”“Your health is my only concern right now.”I knew there was no arguing with her; though, I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to m

It annoyed Sarah.She took note that Sheryl had a wine glass that was placed on the table before her.“So, what exactly are we doing here?” Scott asked; she hadn’t told him her plan, other than to crash theparty.“We are here to support the birthday girl,” Sarah said with a plea
Ashton’s POVWas she about to tell me she was a Volana wolf?No. It wasn’t possible.Volana wolves were said to be the most powerful creatures in the universe. Sheryl might have beentalented, but she certainly wasn’t powerful.But still, the girl was undeniably strange. But what’s most strange is how captivating she is.Sheryl wiggled uncomfortably in her bed; I found myself wanting to take care of her. I adjusted her blanketto cover her entire body and fix her pillow.If she was really a Volana wolf, could she use her powers to manipulate my wolf?“Don’t say such cruel things about our mate,” Max whined.“If she is our mate, it would be better if I just reject her,” I say to him in return, much to his dismay. “It’llbe better for her too…”I thought of my mother and how she remained in that horrid town. They were rogues, living under noleadership. Most of them were too afraid to return to the kingdom, my mother included. My father’sfollowers still lurked in our lands, even as B
Sheryl ’s POVWhy did it have to be Professor Ashton that came to pick me up?How was I going to get through an entire drive back to campus? It was an hour away.He showed up a few minutes after I finished packing. I could hear him speaking to my father in thefoyer of the packhouse.“Thanks again for taking her back to school. I don’t want to take any chances,” my father said to him.“Any leads on who could have done this?”“None yet; she thinks it could have been her ex-boyfriend though. Or possibly the girl he was with. Idon’t have any evidence on that though.”“I can look into it as the school,” Ashton offered.“I appreciate that. Report to me any findings. I might send some of my men there too. Just to be safe.”“We’ll keep in touch,” Ashton said, shaking my father’s hand.“I know I can count on you,” my father said in return.I cleared my throat as I made my way down the stairs; they both turned to look at me. My father with a worried look and Ashton… well … Ashton once again h
Sheryl ’s POVValentine bowed her head to me, a smile playing on her long mouth and her white, razor-sharp, teethbeing revealed. She was big and glorious; I had never seen anything like her before. This place was solife-like and incredible as well. I could practically feel the mist of the ocean on my features and the lightbreeze brushing through my hair.It felt so freeing as I could finally breathe. There was no pain and there were no anxieties. It was justhappiness and love all around me. Most importantly, there was my wolf right in front of my eyes.“Valentina…” I whispered, running my hand down her soft fur, allowing it to tickle my palms. I had nothe idea of having a wolf would feel like this. I already loved her so much.“You are so beautiful, Sheryl . I’m so glad to finally meet you. I’ve been waiting to appear for some timenow…” she paused. “But I couldn’t…”It was surreal; her mouth wasn’t moving when she spoke, but I could hear her words echoing in my mind.“The wolfba
Ashton’s POVShe was looking at me like she had seen a ghost. The color in her face was gone and her oddly coloredeyes were wide. Max could sense that she received her wolf and insisted that we go and see her rightnow. But as I stood in the doorway of the infirmary, staring into her eyes, I realized I probably shouldn’thave come here.It was taking everything I had to keep Max at bay; he wanted to rip himself from me and run to our mate. He was saying how beautiful her wolf was and how much he wanted to bask her in a loving scent.She no longer just smelled like honeysuckle; I could almost smell the scent of the ocean too. There wasan odd smell of salt water; it was comforting. It was like standing at the beach without the hassle of thesand or birds.She was at a loss for words; I’m sure she wasn’t expecting that I, her professor, would turn out to be her mate. I probably wasn’t at all how she envisioned her mate. I wouldn’t blame her if she ran in theopposite direction.However
Sheryl ’s POV“Are you out of your mind?” Rachel shouted as I hung up the phone with Scott. I began toward thedoor. “You can’t just go there. He could be dangerous.”“I can’t let him hurt himself,” I say as I grab my coat.“It’s not your problem to fix, Sheryl ,” she told me, following closely behind.I paused to look at her.“He called me; I’m now in his recent phone record. He made it my problem.” She didn’t look convincedso I added, “You didn’t hear him a minute ago… he sounded like he was in pain.”“Fine, but I’m coming with you,” Rachel said with finality, grabbing her own coat.I gave her a thankful smile before leaving the room.I really didn’t like pubs; any kind of bar I tried to stay clear of. I wasn’t much of a drinker, and I certainlyI didn't like hanging around drunk people. But from when I dated Scott, I remembered that he enjoyedgoing to any kind of bar that he could find. He would often drag me to them, and I’d have a miserabletime.By the end of the night, I alwa
