Like what my beta had said to me, Ashton came into my pack in the same hour she mentioned. I became confused about how she possibly thought he would come, but I didn't want to ask her because I do think that she didn't want me to know about her secrets. I would be glad to know more about her, but since she was trying to hide most of her personal details, I decided to trust her because all she did was help me, so I tried my best to stop myself from sticking my nose on her."Alpha Ashianna, I don't know why you're here. Is it alright for you if I talk with my uncle?" He asked like he didn't know I was in the pack house. I watched how he looked at the upstairs as if he were waiting for King Edward to come out."Of course, you can have a talk with him, but I want to ask you for personal information." I whispered so King Edward would never know if I asked him. I glanced at my back, and I knew King Edward was still deeply asleep, which was a blessing in disguise, like what my Beta had said
Edward Warsmith's point of view“Uncle, why do you want us to talk here? Did you even know how I almost passed out when I saw Alpha Ashianna here? I thought we were not allowed to see each other if she was here.” Ashton fucking asked from the moment I closed the door. He took a seat, even though I didn't ask him to do it. This man was so spoiled by my brother. No, I was the one who spoiled him so much because I was the one who took care of him.Ashton even thought that I was his father, which I gladly accepted, but I didn't know how he found out the truth and started cursing the hell out of me.“I want to stay here because Ashianna keeps seeing Gunner. I don't want to take everything risky, especially if I can control the possible way of her steps.” I answered. I angrily scoffed and gave him a murderous look, as the urge to choke him was beyond me. My beast continued telling me to punish this young man without asking for the details.My beast was reckless whenever he was madly jealous
Ashianna's point of viewI didn't know how long King Edward and Ashton stayed in my office, but when they left inside, I saw how Ashton seemed to be in a bad mood while King Edward had a broad smile as if he enjoyed how his nephew's mood was worse.As they started rushing towards me, I saw how Ashton looked in my direction before he pouted his lips at me. He seemed like a child who wanted to ask for my help, but I didn't know what was happening between them.“Alpha Ashianna...” He sounded sad and hurt. I stood up, but I heard how Atticus and Kairo shrieked with excitement when they saw Ashton in our pack house.“Ashton, where did you go? I want you to see how good I am at defending myself.” Atticus bragged while Kairo rolled his eyes at his twin, which made me guess that he didn't win over his twin. I knew how Kairo acted whenever he didn't win against his brother.“Really? Oh, who's your adversary, then? Please don't tell me it's Kairo again.” Ashton finally got the target to make fu
“You are right. I already remembered everything when...” he paused, closed his eyes like he didn't want to admit it. “when I saw your naked walking towards me after you exited the bathroom. I don't know if it's possible but that's why happened. I want to tell you everything but I'm scared that you might push me away again because I already remembered my memories.”My forehead creased because of what he thought but I felt glad because he explained himself to me and shared his thoughts since were married now. I guessed he knew that he would lose his chance to be with me if he would try not to grab the opportunity to explain and to clear his side on me.“King Edward, where did you get the idea that I will kick you out in my pack? Did you forget were married now?” I asked with gentleness. My heart was pounding fast that I couldn't breathe properly. I felt that I wanted to runaway from him because of how he affected my soul.King Edward gazed at me with full of desire in his eyes gave an e
The councils screamed in horror when they watched a man convulse aggressively as the blood continued coming out from his mouth. I continued tapping the table, waiting for them to answer my proposition. As I darted my eyes at them, they continued flinching, avoiding my gaze because of how intense it was.“Alpha Ashianna, we can't believe you will do this to us! We are part of the councils yet you're blackmailing us to work on you!” “Yeah, this is absurd! We don't do anything wrong here yet we're punished? From the very start, you want us to be removed from the lists, and we know your father won't like the idea you're fighting against us. We're the ones who helped him when he needed us, and you've become an ungrateful bastard daughter he had.”“If the councils aren't with him, do you think he will remain as the Alpha King of the werewolf community? Of course not! If you will give us the antidote then we will forget this happen!”“You all can't understand what's happening,” I shook my h
“Ashianna, is it true you went to the councils without putting them at trial?” King Edward greeted me, sounding cold yet concerned about me. His eyes examined my clothes, like he was checking if the councils tried to attack me. His eyes darted on my face before I heard him take a deep breath.“I know you don't like when they betray you, but you know the werewolf community has the process of punishing them. It's better if you won't use your hands to make everything right from your perspective,” he added. His forehead creased, and seeing his blue sparkling eyes gave me intense tingling emotions in my spine.“I know there's a process for them, but it's treason.” I muttered, raising the papers they had signed. Plastering a smirk from my lips, I continued, “I ensure there's three who will be alive. If they choose to betray me again, then I will do anything to make them pay. They're doing this because I'm a woman who doesn't have the right to be the leader of my community. I'm holding mysel
I was in disbelief as I parted my lips when I saw how he turned around. He didn't want to grab the opportunity to have an intimate conversation with me. King Edward's action resulted in annoyance in my head because I wasn't dumb for not distinguishing how he wanted me so much. My body was conscious of how he desired me, and I couldn't stop myself from teasing him, forcing him to grab me as bait, like a sin he would love to commit. “Your Majesty, are you sure you don't want me tonight? I know how frustrated you are right now, and I'm willing to receive every frustration in your body while I'm screaming and you're thrusting between my legs.” Seductively, I uttered those words, trying to lure him to take me to satisfy his carnal desire. “Ashianna, we're talking about the councils, yet you bring up having sex with me!” he snapped. His nostrils almost flared as I saw how he swallowed hard, trying to resist the temptation in front of me. As I barked a laugh, I noticed how she maintained
“Ashianna…” Alpha Gunner talked to me, stepping in to fill the gap between us. His eyes were cold as he managed to conceal his emotions while his eyes landed in my direction. Gunner pressed his pinkish lips in one line; his eyes flickered before they filled with a glint of concern as he added, “I heard what happened about the councils. I know how upset you are right now, and you might not forgive them for rebelling against you.”Stunned by his words, I never thought he would act like he was worried about me. I couldn't believe he had dared to put in this act just to make me believe he was my ally. Gunner was such an actor who didn't want to be caught for his mistakes.“Yeah, I don't think I will be able to give them a chance to lead again. You know what's the possible punishment for treason, and that's death.” I answered and sounded upset because of their betrayal. Gunner didn't say anything, but he pulled me to give me a hug. Taken aback by his unpredicted actions, I felt how he tapp
"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
