Silence. It seemed the other concubines were shocked when they heard what I had shouted with so much irritation. My body quivered instantly when I pulled out the knife and then rushed towards Sarah.Sarah shrugged her shoulders while she was looking at me with a smirk on her lips. I wanted to remove her grin and change it.“Oh, here's the wolfless bitch. Do you think you can fight with me?” Sarah pursed her lips, trying to belittle me. Yeah, I didn't have the wolf with me but I knew I could still have the strength to fight with a bully like her. She chuckled loudly when her other companions laughed so hard.“You're trying to play as their protector. Is it a little bit ironic when you want to protect others while you can't defend yourself?” she added.I gripped the knife tightly. I wanted to slash her cheek in anger. My teeth clenched when she stepped forward, closer to me, and mocked me because I didn't dare to fight with her. Shit. “Come on, thug. Do something! Why don't you stab th
Who is it?The man was talking to me as if he was aware of my identity. Perhaps he was the one I needed to find out about my wolf. He might be the key to revealing my wolf's actions that way. What made me more confused was I needed to stay at the hospital because King Edward ordered me to do some tests for me. He wanted to ensure I was fine and I wasn't hurt in any way. I couldn't understand why he needed to do it because it was Sarah who got hurt.‘Oh, they're stupid. They might be thinking they will know if there's some virus in your blood.’I was stunned when I heard how my wolf spoke with mockery once again. She seemed mad and I didn't know why.I massaged my temple when my head hurt. I heard Sarah was staying in the same hospital as me. I was eavesdropping when Marcus reported that Sarah's father had discovered what happened to his lovely daughter. He might do anything to fight back with me.‘Ashianna, you don't need to be scared of a bitch like her! She can't defend herself. Wh
King Edward's threat made my heart shallow in fear. Yeah, I was aware he wasn't bluffing he could kill Marcus in front of me. I recalled how he almost killed Ashra in front of Alpha James. He had the boldness he would win that attack and Alpha James knew he would lose if he would fight with him.Aside from that, King Edward had a barbaric aura. He looked like he was the type of man who wouldn't think twice to cut someone's head. He wasn't the man who wouldn't honor his words. I felt threatened. I got a feeling he might kill Marcus if I gave Marcus a single glimpse. What made me more confused was why I was afraid he might kill Marcus. If Marcus had done terrible for me I could have used the Lycan King to assassinate him. His possessiveness made me realize why Marcus wanted to be teamed up with me. It came across in my mind that I was the only one that the Lycan King treated special. I didn't think it was because I was a virgin when we slept together.“Do you hear me calling you multi
I was flabbergasted. I didn't know what I was going to say after I heard her words. Slowly, fear rushed through my veins until it finally reached my heart. I felt my heart get stabbed by a knife until I couldn't handle the pain anymore. My heartbeat was so fast that I couldn't breathe properly, despite trying to."What are you talking about? I don't know about him killing his brother just to get the power..." I was hesitant when I asked again. I didn't like to be like a gossipmonger, but I needed to know more about King Edward. He was the one who would always sleep with me, even though I didn't want it, I guess.I didn't have the right to judge him because I didn't know the true story behind his assault against his brother. I knew the feeling when someone experienced a false accusation. My mother died, and I was the only one with her, which made me get blamed. "Why do you look surprised when I inform you about his secret? He isn't merciful to his enemy so you don't need to act---""I
His blunt words made my wolf scream with excitement. My mouth parted when he finally stepped to fill the gap between us. He lowered his head and claimed my lips before he inserted his luscious tongue inside my mouth. A groan escaped from my lips when he squeezed my mound and pinched my hardened nipple. His hand slowly roamed onto my body until he reached my back, and then caressed it. I felt tickled because of what he had been doing.I didn't know where I would tilt my head because of his aggressive action toward me. He seemed hungry to taste my lips and my saliva. It was disgusting at first but because my wolf wanted his brutal side, which made me slowly enjoyed how he devoured my lips.“Ngh! Shit...” he moaned when he lifted me. My legs automatically encircled his waist and he cupped my buttocks to prevent me from falling. He was in a hurry. I heard how his head beat rapidly just because of what we were both planning to do.“Y-Your Majesty!” I whispered when he pulled my hair and t
A long silence.I didn't know why she never said anything to me after she heard what I had told her. I didn't want to get her pity or sympathy for what happened to me that day.As I closed my eyes, the image of my mother screaming in pain while her body turned into pieces made me horrified. It was the most traumatic part of my life I was hoping I would forget.“She's the only woman I have. She's the only one who treated me with morals. I've tried to investigate what happened that day---”“Aren't you scared to find out the truth? What do you think will happen after you discover the culprit? Are you sure you can give justice for your mother's death?” She didn't let me finish what I was going to say to her. My lips parted in disbelief when she stood up and then moved away from me. “Don't you even think the culprit might be powerful that's why your mother's death was never investigated?”“I'm guessing he's powerful. The investigation stopped---”“Then, better stop investigating everything
King Edward's words made the man named Harvey glance at me. His eyes were sharp and cold, which made my body shiver with discomfort. I felt I was the prey he was going to haunt.I bit my lip after King Edward tightly held my waist. He was waiting for Harvey to respond to what he told him. I gulped when Harvey examined me before he looked away.“Your Majesty, I don't want to offend your taste when it comes to your women. Sarah is more stunning than her.” His voice was deep but brutal. He licked his lips when he stared back at me and continued, “She's a downgrade to Sarah. I can't understand why she's the one I needed to train.”King Edward barked a laugh because of his response. My cheeks flushed because Harvey was insulting me as long as he could. Shit.Slowly, Harvey formed a playful smirk on his lips and said, “This woman isn't beautiful. I heard she's an outcast to her family. She's Alpha James's little ex-mate, and I already saw his wife.”Wife? It seemed Alpha James married Ashra
I started panting when he walked slower toward me. My hands clenched in frustration and madness towards Harvey. I wanted to prove to him that I wasn't weak like what they were always remarking on me. I disliked being known as a weak and pathetic wolf. I wanted to make them see that I could change strongly. I would be the known Alpha Female, like what the other she-wolves stated whenever they were seeing a cool Alpha Female.It wasn't only a man who could rule the pack, but a woman, too. I would make them regret belittling my ability and ruining my confidence as an Alpha Female. I grew up in fear that someone might hurt me, and that was the outcome of the nasty action they had taken against me.I couldn't handle my emotions, and thinking he would win against me made my wolf howl with anger. My wolf wanted him to regret it. She wanted me to wipe his egotistical smirk from his lips. I wanted, too.“The King's mistresses know how to defend themselves. I don't think you deserve to be trea
"Leo, where are you going? Is it true you asked Harvey to handle your pack?" I asked when he visited me in the pack. My baby belly was obvious, which stunned him because he didn't know I was pregnant when I started preparing my plans to assassinate Gunner and Alpha James. Unfortunately, I didn't know what happened because King Edward didn't bother to tell me what happened to them.After the wedding, I discovered Alpha James successfully escaped the dungeon, which Felicia was investigating for two months, yet we didn't get any leads on the investigation. I speculated that King Edward might know what happened, but he didn't want to tell me because I was pregnant."Yes, I want to do my father's duties for my children. You know I don't see them after Gunner almost killed my mate." Leo answered."What happened to Gunner? I don't understand how he's missing because he's known in every land." I asked, hoping he would tell me the truth. Leo shrugged his shoulders and said he wasn't worried abo
King Edward's POV"Your Majesty, we already stole their bodies." Ashton rushed towards me and announced. He seemed excited about what was about to happen. He gave me blood that had a blood sample of Ashra and her mate."What about her baby? I don't want to harm the innocent." I took the blood sample from his hand and checked it. Ashra's blood was everything we needed to manipulate Alpha James so he would get madder at Gunner."You don't need to worry about the baby because I assigned someone to take care of her. I know you don't want the baby to get hurt." Ashton replied, assuring me, so I nodded my head."Ashton, I trust you with this one. I know you won't lose this opportunity since I will give you her locations, right?""Of course, I won't waste this chance, Your Majesty." Ashton sounded annoyed but grinned at me when he noticed I was deadly glaring at him. If he wasn't my nephew, he might not have his head because of his tone.He bowed his head and said goodbye before rushing out o
"Get off me! I don't do anything wrong to Ashra!" Alpha James shrieked with anger when the guards pushed him inside the cell. His eyes were glowing, confused about why he suddenly got arrested. Clenching his jaw, he gave Gunner a nasty look before he looked at me. "Ashianna, you know I don't do anything wrong here! I'm innocent!""Alpha James, you have the right to remain silent as long as the investigation is in process. We've done our best to give you a fair investigation. You don't need to worry because I'm the one who's searching for the lead." Miguel declared. He started writing in his notebook before he gazed at Gunner."Alpha Ashianna, I know you and Alpha Gunner are supposed to get married, but he's not allowed to stay here. You're the only one we need here to witness whatever Alpha James will answer to our interrogations." Miguel added. His tone seemed severe, causing Gunner to clench his teeth before he nodded his head."Alright, I will wait for you outside." Gunner hugged me
"Did you enjoy being with Gunner?" King Edward asked, wrapping his hand around me for a hug. I couldn't help but laugh when I noticed that his tone had changed. He looked like he was attempting to stop himself, like a jealous husband to Gunner."Your Majesty, I did everything you asked me to do tonight, but you're still mad at me." I teased while I was playing with his nipple. He grunted, pulling my hand away from his nipple, but I was stubborn."It's better if you stop playing with my nipple, because my dick will get hard again." King Edward posed a threat to me. He leaned closer to me, sniffed my scent, and kissed my neck. I noticed that he liked to smell my fragrance whenever he was with me."I don't mind if your cock gets hard. I'm still with you." I murmured in a luring tone. My eyes were filled with lust and desire for him. He swallowed hard without avoiding my gaze before he uttered profanities."Is this your way to control me, Ashianna?""What did you mean, Your Majesty? I don'
“Wait.” I paused before I glanced at him skeptically. Gunner was taken aback when he slipped the information to me. “How did you know she has a daughter? I thought you stopped investigating King Edward after what he had done to me.” “Sarah was pregnant when you left, right? I heard she has a daughter coming from Harvey's lips. He's the one who brought the news to me.” Gunner replied. The intense emotions in his eyes faded in seconds before he took a deep breath and gently caressed my palm. Harvey? I couldn't understand why Harvey would bring the news to him. Harvey didn't tell me about his interaction with Gunner, but I was sure I trusted him a lot. “I don't know why you always interact with Harvey. I thought you both weren't close enough.” I whispered, confused, When was the last time they had seen each other? Gunner burst into laughter before he shook his head. “You're right. I don't understand why he informed me about Sarah. I told him to tell Sarah that I congratulated her for
“Alpha Ashianna,” Leo called me. His eyes filled with severity when he bowed his head to me. I didn't leave my gaze on him, especially when he ushered me inside. “Gunner is patiently waiting for you.” “Leo…” I muttered. He stopped walking, took a deep breath, and gave me a look. “I know you don't want your brother to get hurt, right? I'm aware of how you love him.” “Why are you telling me this, Alpha Ashianna?” Leo asked. “If Gunner is breathing with the same oxygen as mine, do you think I will have some peace?” I inquired again. I took two steps before I stopped in front of him. I didn't want to pressure him. I understood why he didn't want to do what I asked him. Still, they were connected by the same flesh and blood, but I didn't think Leo was a saint. He loved Gunner so much as his brother that he forgot himself, but Ashton and Felicia already knew his weakness. Gunner didn't want Leo to leave him. He also subjected Leo to harsh treatment. “I don't understand, Alpha Ashianna.
Stunned by what she had said, I couldn't believe that Wayne's family was dead. I didn't know if they were part of his evil plans against me, but the thought that they were innocent made me want to fall to the floor. Felicia took a deep breath before she said, “The warriors don't have the chance but to kill them. I know it's really upsetting, but if you will always let your guilt consume you, possibly you might create the next monster who will hurt your children.” My eyes flickered because she was right. It was part of the rules that I needed to wipe out every family member, even though they were babies, to prevent myself from having an enemy. My heart ached when I realized what happened to King Edward and Gunner. Possibly, he used his heart not to kill Gunner, even though he needed to kill him. Gunner ended up having resentment toward him. He could not stop himself from planning against King Edward, causing him to enter his pack. I swallowed hard as I was trying to remove the pain
“Alpha Ashianna, I hope the plans will work. Adeline has started rescuing your father on her mother's land. She's with warriors, so I think she will successfully do her work properly. She feels obligated to do it because you have done good for her.” Felicia said. My eyes flickered when I remembered how Adeline planned everything so well. She asked me if it was alright for me if she would kill her mother and her siblings as well. I didn't know how she got the courage to fight against them, but what I observed was that the moment I gave her the land, she finally had the boldness to fight back against them. I didn't know if her mother was the owner of the land, or maybe she finally got rid of the traitors in her group. “I want to make sure she's fine. Adeline might act like a tough woman, but she's fragile. I know she's trying to do everything just to help me.” I murmured as I felt bad for Adeline. I didn't have plans to use her because I didn't want to do it. The sins of her mother
“Alpha James, is he telling the truth?” I asked him before I heard him utter profanity. His breathing became heavy before he gave me a nasty gaze. His reaction gave me satisfaction as he acted like he didn't want to admit Gunner was telling the truth. He seemed to have such resentment for Gunner that he wanted to attack him whenever he had a chance. Alpha James' annoyed expression gave me happiness in my heart since I realized I had successfully made them fight with each other. “Alpha Ashianna, it's better if you will hear me out. It's not what you think it is.” Alpha James sounded like he was trying to do everything, as long as I was willing to listen to him. “You better start explaining, because I don't think I can give you another chance after this. I choose you over Alpha Gunner because of the matebond.” I angrily snarled. I was slapping him with the fact that they were rivals just to have the Alpha King's position, so they wouldn't ever team up against me. What I wanted Al
