“B--Bitch...” she stammered in disbelief. A strange unfamiliar emotion flashed in her eyes, gasped to calm herself from pulling my hair. She might hold herself to attack me like what she always did to me when I was a concubine. Sarah's eyes shut tightly before she plastered a forced smirk on her lips.“Ashianna, you're only lucky to be found as the daughter of the Alpha King. But, without your father's position that you inherited, you will remain as the dumb and wolfless Ashianna I knew,” she added, gnashing her teeth and laughing hysterically.“Sarah, we're the same. Your father is one of the Alphas I'm handling as the Alpha Queen. Sadly, he doesn't attend the party so it means, you went here on his behalf and as his successor. You fucking know what it means? Once you inherit his position, you will work for me ironically.” I mouthed calmly, I caught her stunned as if it was too late for her to realize what I meant.“You will be the Lycan Queen but it font changes the fact that you'r
“Mom, finally you’re back! We have some surprises for you!” Atticus screamed which made Kairo’s face turned scowl at how noisy his twin brother was. I laughed hard as I shook my head to stop Kairo from what he was planning. I didn’t want him to scold his brother again. “Mom, I beat Kairo from our training. I think I have the strength to win over him,” he added. “Hey! I acted weak because I didn’t want you to cry because of me! I’m only a nice older brother to you! Stop being ungrateful, Atticus!” Kairo exclaimed like he was defending himself from what Atticus said. “Yeah, you have a lot of reasons! I don’t want to hear your useless reasons because I know I won over you. Kairo, I know I stepped on your pride, It’s only me I can kick your ass!” Atticus laughed hard, making me look at Kairo who seemed upset. I hardly sighed because I knew Kairo didn’t like to be made fun of. He always gives importance to his cool and possibly, he might have done something bad to Atticus so he would
“Alpha, I found out Alpha Gunner has been meeting with the other councils.” It was Ashton; he went closer to me when he checked our surroundings to ensure no one was listening to our conversation. I glanced at him fast because his report surprised me.He brought Kairo and Atticus to their small school for their age and went straight here because this was the time he had his break. Ashton's efforts to help me make me feel overwhelmed. I didn’t know his reason for helping me, but I was sure he wouldn’t ever ask for something in return.“He has a meeting with them without informing me? I don’t see any reason for him to do this, Ashton.” I said, watching how the water flowed down from the lake. My eyes shut tightly as I attempted to calm myself, preventing me from thinking badly that he might be planning something against me.“He has a reason. It’s better if you work with King Edward. I know you need his help, and he will provide security to check Atticus and Kairo. The truth is, your twi
“Shit! What makes you think we have sex? Of course! I don’t have the time to have sex with a woman!” He shrieked, sounded defensive, as if he were disgusted to think he had sex with me. I laughed so hard because I was only making fun of him. Ashton’s face turned sour, like he couldn’t believe he was patiently talking to me. Well, I guessed he might be cringing right now. “Hey! Of course I know. Haha, I don’t like it when you want me to act as if I’m a fortune teller. All right, I notice you and my sons have the same face. That’s the reason why I was stunned when I first saw you. Did you remember you’re the one who’s checking the border that night? I thought King Edward found me at that moment.” I pursed my lips as I uttered those words. He nodded his head as if he understood what I meant to him. He licked his lips before he gazed at our surroundings. “It’s you who saved me that night. I’m thankful you helped me when I passed out.” I added. The smile on his face faded. He swallowed
“Alpha, your question makes me more embarrassed because I’m not a woman. I don’t think I can give you an opinion from a woman’s perspective. It’s possible Alpha Gunner is a fine man for me, but turn not based on your opinion.” Wayne exclaimed, hiding his anxiousness because he wasn’t prepared for what I had asked him. I nodded my head because I understood his point, but I thought he was telling me those words because he didn’t want me to think he liked Alpha Gunner for me. He already stated that he thought of him as a good man. Nothing more and nothing less, but he didn’t want those words to come out of his lips intentionally. I didn’t know he had this kind of ability to speak, which made Ashton warn me about him. “Yeah, you’re right. Do you think he’s a good man? I’m a mother of two children, and I don’t think he will accept me, especially when I have extra baggage. I believe if he wants me, then he will get my children, too.” I muttered as if I were having a good time talking to h
What Alice had told me had a strange impact on my sister. I had feelings for King Edward when I was away with him but sometimes, I did think I had a painful feeling whenever I was thinking about him because I was pregnant. Aside from that, I already moved on which I was certain about.‘You're fucking with me, Alice. What makes you think I have the slightest feelings for him? I'm only sad whenever I'm thinking about Kairo and Atticus. I don't want them to feel I'm not putting some effort to have a peaceful relationship with their father.’ I responded, and I felt I sounded defensive because Alice laughed at me, mocking me as if she heard some jokes.‘All right, if you want to think that way, then so be it. Ashianna, there's nothing if you become honest with yourself. It's only free.’ ‘Yeah, right, but why you're pushing me to think I have feelings for him? In fact, you're unfaithful. I recall you're flirty when it comes to Harvey and Marcus, too. It's weird when you acted differently t
“Alpha, you ask for my presence. I heard you want to talk to me.” Ashton greeted me as I was watching the water from the falls flow down from the lake. He sounded confused but he waited for me to tell him what was the purpose of our sudden meeting.The fact I was hesitant to do what my father had told me made me want to ask Ashton about my plan. I thought about his safety first and if he was to take a risk. I didn't know if already forgave King Edward for what he had done to his family.If he agreed to what I wanted, then I would continue what I promised to Kairo and Atticus. However, if he didn't want to do the rest, then I respected his decision. I didn't want to force him because his safety was the most essential of this game.Perhaps, I would seek an excuse from my parents once Kairo and Atticus keep asking me about their father. My mother was heartbroken to see their grandchildren being sad but they could help me to explain that I might take a long time to introduce them to him.
“What do you mean, Wayne? I don't see any reason for me not to trust him. I watched him how to take care of my children, and he's been attached to them.” I answered as my eyes became like daggers throwing at him.He swallowed hard like he didn't expect me to ask him why he thought that way. It seemed he felt so full of himself after he successfully pushed Alpha Gunner for me.I still hoped Wayne would change so that he might see I was giving him a chance to turn back on me and give me his trust. I wouldn't punish him because I didn't see him talking with Gunner whenever he wasn't with me. I wasn't confrontation but I would remain skeptical.“Alpha, the councils might plotted a nanny in this pack. I don't think it's a great choice to ask a nanny to take care of them. Aside from that, Kairo and Atticus are the future rules of our pack, I'm only concerned about their safety.” Wayne uttered but still, he lacked common sense. “Wayne, if you think he's a bad guy then you better prove it.
