“Gunner has feelings for you?” he asked, confirming his suspicions. His jaw became tense, and his gaze ignited, making me realise he was mad. Alpha James wasn't dumb enough to realise why Gunner went to his pack without my awareness. “I thought you two had a relationship, but he's the one who only has romantic feelings for you.”“I love Gunner, but as my friend. He's the only one who helped me when I needed someone the most. Alpha James, same with you; I know most of the Alphas want to help you if I decide to ruin your reputation.” I answered, chewing the meat elegantly before I licked my lips. I saw how he looked at me, like he wanted to rip my clothes, and he banged me in front of the servants.“Thats how my friendship with him looks. Gunner is one of the men I can trust.” I added without breaking our eye contact. Gunner might do anything to remove Alpha James from his path just to have me. That was how possessive he was to me.Alpha James didn't say anything, but I noticed how he k
“Alpha James, I don't understand what you're trying to point out.” I didn't want to slap on his face that he was wrong. However, the more I acted to tell him what I had felt for him, the more he assumed that I was doing this because I have secret feelings for him.“Alright, I will act like I don't know.” He scoffed, like he didn't want me to feel humiliated because he finally cornered me. His eyes roamed around, and as his eyes flickered, I noticed sadness in his eyes before he added, “I heard you've been trying to have a peace agreement with the Lycan King. Are you sure it's only for our community's safety?”“I know what I'm doing, Alpha James. Despite my past with King Edward, I need to act like a true leader in our community. I don't need to use my personal issue on him because our members are the ones who are important here.” I explained. I sounded like I was trying to have business straight with him. I couldn't understand why he acted like he was sticking to my own business, desp
"Alpha Ashianna!" I heard a familiar woman's voice. My head kept spinning, and I didn't know how I ended up waking up in the middle of my sleep. My eyes roamed around, fear enveloped in my heart as I wrapped my hands around my stomach, like I was so damn scared to lose my baby.I didn't know how it was; possibly we were in the carriage while I saw how dark it was outside. My beta caressed my cheek, calming me, and I bit my lip to stop the tears that were about to fall on my cheek."Alpha Ashianna, it's better if you will never cry. I already asked someone to send news about what happened." She whispered at me.My head shook aggressively, and I felt the pain in my chest that was about to cause discomfort in my system. My beta kept uttering some comforting words while she continued tapping my shoulders."What happened? I can't remember everything." I muttered and felt embarrassed that I had fainted when the carriage stopped on the spot. My beta chuckled like it wasn't a big deal, but it
"Adeline." I murmured her name because I didn't know what I would say to her just to make her feel better. Adeline was beautiful, and I was sure she would have a lot of men who would chase her. If she had the same as her mother, then Marina might be beautiful."You don't need to pity me, Alpha Ashianna. I understand that she didn't like me from the very start. I always did anything she wanted just to please her, but it wasn't enough. She wants more until I can't understand myself anymore." Adeline whispered, concealing the pain in her tone, but she failed. Tears welled up in her eyes as she continued, "I want to do the right thing, despite I need to fight back against her. I will take the throne from her hands so she will know that I'm capable of being the Alpha like what I always claimed.""Adeline, it's better if you prove her wrong because you know the truth. And you're already aware of what's right." I said, comforting her, causing her to close her eyes and take a deep breath.The
“Ashianna,”I was stunned when I heard King Edward call my name. His cold gaze bore into mine before he stepped forward closer to me. His intense eyes gave me a shiver in my skin, and I felt the tingling sensation rushing through my veins. My lips parted because what I had seen was only his glowing eyes, but his scent kept entering my nose, making me finally smell his scent.“King Edward..” I murmured his name with so much joy. I let him hug me tightly, and I heard how he smelled my scent again.King Edward wanted to meet me in person because his beast started to become out of control. We were married, and his beast disliked the idea that I was far away from him. He might blame him because I was the one who did the rest to ensure we were safe.“I heard you come to Alpha James Pack. Why did you hide your plans from me?” He sounded like he was accusing me, but I was certain it was his beast. A moan escaped from my lips as the tip of his nose touched my neck when he started giving it a k
"I want to be honest with you, Your Majesty. I never thought that your family had done bad to you, tainting yourself of a lot of trauma." I muttered, closing my eyes as I enjoyed myself being held tightly by him. My heart skipped beating fast, and I felt terrible for judging him at first without asking the truth. I remembered what the midwife had told me; she stated that King Edward didn't deserve to be a father because he was the one who killed his father.Though I didn't want to justify what he had committed, it wouldn't change the fact that what he had done was wrong. However, I knew he might regret his action because he felt bad for killing his brother, which led him to take care of Ashton.I believed if he resented his brother so much, he might think to eliminate Ashton because he was his rival to his throne. Ashton was supposed to be the heir of the throne, but since he wasn't of his right age, King Edward was the one who took it for his sake."I'm sorry if I think they are innoc
“What can I do for the Alpha Queen of the werewolf community?” A masculine man greeted me, his fangs were exposed, and his eyes were glowing, giving me a shiver in my skin. He had the same face as King Edward, but his golden hair almost hit his shoulder. His sight focused on me, and I was amused when I dared to visit his pack. “I'm amazed at how bold you are that you went here in my pack while you're only with two warriors.” As he flashed his wicked grin, his eyes flickered when he started to sniff, like a dog. His glances were filled with burning rage before he swallowed. “I'm here to talk about the contest, King---” I forgot his name, so he arched his brow at me before he snarled. “You're disrespecting me in my own pack. It's unforgivable you don't know my name but since I have a favor to ask for you, then I will let this slide.” The tone of his voice turned deep with threat. He tightly shut his eyes before he added, “I want to know who's the owner of that necklace you have.”
“King Death, I want you to meet my Beta. She's the one I mentioned to you when you asked me about the necklace.” I introduced my Beta to King Death. I noticed my Beta's eyes flickered like she was panicking. She couldn't focus her eyes on me, and even to King Death which was stranger to me.My Beta wouldn't reacted like this if she didn't know who King Death was but I didn't want to interrogate her and I should wait for the time she would say everything to me.King Death's eyes turned into a glare when he saw my Beta. Disgust was evident in his face but he concealed his emotion.“I thought she's interesting but I was wrong.” King Death snarled but he sounded like he didn't like the idea to see my Beta again.“Alpha Ashianna, you need to always remember that being an Alpha, you must always investigate your members,” he added, pushing me to be skeptical of my Beta. He chuckled darkly before he grinned coldly.“King Death, what did you expect from my Beta? I already told you she's not th
