Sheryl; Alpha Ashton's Beloved Mate extremely damaging
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

Actually, Scott’s father insisted that he showed up.Sarah spent the better part of her morning picking wolfbane from her personal garden.She turned the wolfbane into a powder and placed it in a small vile she wore around her neck, tucking itinto her shirt; hidden and out of sight.Sarah wanted to destroy any chances of Sheryl getting her wolf on her birthday. Even though Sheryl wasskilled in combat, she would still be known as lesser without her wolf. Sarah would remain superior inher wolf form.As they got there, Sheryl was mingling with her guests and laughing. 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
Sheryl; Alpha Ashton's Beloved Mate my family
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; Alpha Ashton's Beloved Mate packhouse
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; Alpha Ashton's Beloved Mate happily
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
Sheryl; Alpha Ashton's Beloved Mate desperately complained
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; Alpha Ashton's Beloved Mate Ashton refused
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
Sheryl; Alpha Ashton's Beloved Mate Thinking
Sheryl ’s POVBy the time I could form words out of my mouth, Scott was already snoring. I stood frozen at the door,just staring at him. That’s all I could think to do.Hearing his words caused my heart to ache. She hated me because I was a Volana wolf. I know my kindisn’t accepted by some; they find us dangerous and threatening. But I have never tried to pose a threatto anyone. I stand up for what I believe in and help those in need. I’m far from dangerous but I knownot all in our world see it that way.“What did he just say?” Ashton asked; for a moment, I forgot he was standing near me.I saw the complete confusion on his face.I didn’t want to stay in Scott’s room any longer, so I left. As we got into the empty halls, I turned to him,trying to keep the tears out of my eyes.“Please don’t tell my father,” I managed to utter as I stared up at him.“What did he mean that you are a Volana? Is that true?” His tone seemed cold.“I never want to hurt anybody,” I whispered. “If Sarah

“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
Sheryl; Alpha Ashton's Beloved Mate felt weird to me
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
