“Mom?” Harvey asked, looked at me like he was checking if I was the one that Atticus had called. Kairo's eyes widened and looked at Atticus before Atticus cried in fear. I couldn't believe that I had a son who was an actor.“Mom... I don't want to be here. I'm scared!” Atticus sobbed which led Ashton to lift him and comfort him.“Stop scaring my son!” Ashton angrily shrieked and I saw how Atticus flashed a little smile at me before he continued his cries.I was amused because he ensured he would sob so hard that Harvey stopped pulling me and rushed towards him. As Atticus saw Harvey, he tightened his hold on Ashton's nape and I was sure he was truly scared of him. Harvey had a masculine body. He had a lot of tattoos especially when it was his first time to see a man who had a tattooed. Harvey had a frown on his forehead, calculating if he was telling the truth. He couldn't guess if my twins were King Edward's sons because Ashton looked like him. They were like twins.“Ashton, we don
Ashton's eyes flickered, filled with amazement at how King Edward angrily scolded him for yelling at my children. It was quite funny especially when I noticed how messy he was in his state. He seemed to take a bath with a lot of flour in his head while Atticus had some brownish sauce in the corner of his lips.“I apologize, Your Majesty. They're my children, and I don't you to think they don't know where they are supposed to be placed.” Ashton whispered.King Edward didn't say anything to him but diverted his attention to me. Shocked was obvious on his face and I noticed how his ears became pinkish before he avoided his gaze on me.“Ashianna, I thought you left already,” he muttered but sounded like he was relieved. He strolled closer to me held my hand and dragged me to the vacant chair. “Did you sleep well? Marcus doesn't inform me you're staying here.”“Atticus doesn't want to sleep if I will never sleep here,” I answered but swallowed after I heard how Ashton cleared his throat. K
“It's bad. Mom doesn't like to hear a grown man say some bad words. Did you see we are only a child?” It was Atticus. His gaze landed on mine like he expected me to correct King Edward which made me think he might forget I wasn't his mother when we were in front of them.“This young lady is one of the most respected werewolves in our community. A woman who likes her doesn't like when a man's too brutal when he speaks,” he added, flickering his eyes as if he wanted me to see how cute he was.Because of what he had said, King Edward gave me his attention and his face turned dark. He cleared his throat before he scratched his forehead as if it was itchy. “Ashianna, is it true you don't like a man who curses a lot? I remembered how you liked it when I was brutal with you.” he sweetly but full of mockery uttered.My eyes widened in horror, glanced at the two children who seemed astonished at what they heard. Ashton coughed loudly as if there was a lot of phlegm that wanted to come out fro
Sarah flashed a proud grin when the young girl hugged King Edward tightly, sniffing his scent and smiling broadly at him. King Edward diverted his attention to me, checking how I would react to him.“Dad, I'm excited to eat breakfast with you but I don't even know you have some guests.” her tiny voice made me go back to reality. If King Edward accepted her as his daughter, it meant she was his child. As the girl turned around to face me she noticed his beloved father looking at me, her cute small lips parted in disbelief, and seeing how sparkled blue her eyes made me want to leave King Edward's pack immediately.“Who's this young lady? I don't know her, too. It's my first time to see her.” she exclaimed with so much joy.“She's the Alpha Queen of the werewolf community. She's here to negotiate with me about the peace of our communities.” King Edward answered with enthusiasm. Atticus had a scowl on his face, which made me see she didn't like there was a young girl, stealing his father
“Are you jealous?” She repeated, stunned me before I looked around to see if she was talking to me or if there might be someone standing behind me. Her forehead creased, giving me an irritated look when I pointed myself.“Are you talking to me? Sarah, it’s better if you will call me by my name so I will be prepared to answer your useless question.”“Huh? I know you’re jealous because King Edward is too close to Alexa. You might be envious because you can’t conceive his child like what I did to him.” She said she sounded proud for being stupid in front of me. My lips pursed with disgust and annoyance towards her.Quickly, my lips curled when I saw how anxious she was. She was attempting to remove me from King Edward’s sight because she knew King Edward might leave her. If King Edward was only looking for a child, Sarah might be the Lycan Queen since I left, but unfortunately, she remained as his concubine.“Sarah..” I called her name; my tone was severe, and I stared at her like I was
When Harvey formed a grin on his lips in response to what he had said, my heart began to beat rapidly. Confusion struck my face because I couldn't understand how he hadn't known I was alive. Ashton informed me that it was King Edward who helped me that night when I passed out. He almost sacrificed his life to ensure I would be saved and not bothered me in the end so I could have some peace.My lips parted in disbelief, as I wanted to ask him for clarity, yet I was scared that he might not know about it. When I got pregnant, a part of me hated King Edward for using my body and for choosing Sarah in the end.“When I left, I thought King Edward would marry Sarah. I don't see any reason for him not to do it since he's been looking for the future mother of his child.” I muttered, hiding the pain in my voice as I looked around to check my surroundings.Harvey cleared his throat and pursed his lips before he laughed harder, which led me to frown at him. How dare he make fun of my struggles?
“Kairo, why are you acting this way? It’s bad to accuse someone without any proof. Aside from that, Alexa is your sister, if she has the blood of King Edward in her veins.” I said it calmly. I caressed his cheek, but he avoided my touch like he always did whenever I was babying him.“Mom, Dad doesn’t know I’m his son, so it means he doesn’t know he has a son, so it’s better if it remains that way. I realize he’s a jerk, and he doesn’t deserve to know he has a smart son like me.” Kairo exclaimed, pointed himself like he was proud, bragging in front of me. I chuckled at him and pursed my lips as I cleared my throat.“I know you will be a good leader once you get the throne. Kairo, always choose to do the right thing, and don’t turn blind to any wrong actions you witness. But Atticus is your brother; you need to love him and not become his enemy. Possibly, most of the councils will use you two to clash, but ensure that you trust each other.” I whispered, flashed my sweet smile at him, so
“Surprise!” Marcus laughed when I remained stoic. His lips curled, giving me the turmoil of anxiousness inside me. As I swallowed hard, I saw how he examined my body before he added, “Ashianna, your body doesn't change. Well, did you know King Edward happened to ask me to investigate you? I don't know if you slept with him yesterday, but he's curious why your tits turned different.”“My boobs are still the same, Marcus. It's not my fault if King Edward had a lot of women lined up for him. He might be sceptical since it's been six years since we fucked each other.” My words became brutal, and I attempted to hide the panic in my chest. The thought that Marcus already knew I had twins, possibly King Edward would learn about it fast.“You sound sourgraping, Ashianna. As the Alpha Queen, you must support your co-women, especially Sarah. So, let's get back to the topic because it's surprising to know you're carrying his children when you escape. That's what I have found out since the counci
"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
