His question lingered in my head, giving me a confusion I couldn't process. We were only looking at each other, and I only noticed he seemed young to be a doctor. He avoided my gaze when he stepped back once again to prevent me from asking him again.I was bewildered that I had forgotten what I was going to ask him. Surprisingly, his question made me question myself because I took it differently. I felt that I didn't know who my parents were, and he was the one who knew them. He was the bizarre hidden key that I needed to find.“Nevermind. I'm only trying to mess up with your mind. I want to make sure your brain is perfectly fine.” he uttered, then took a pill from the tray behind him. He gave it to but I was hesitant to accept it particularly when I remembered someone tried to assault me inside the hospital. I wasn't accusing him of being their companion but I was only trying to be more vigilant. I couldn't trust anyone here in the pack because I wasn't legally a member here.“Of co
King Edward hugged me for a long time. I didn't have the courage to speak or ask him to react that way because I had a feeling he would growl at me once I did that. The fact that he wasn't bothered that someone might catch us made me feel uncomfortable. I wasn't used to being treated like this; Alpha James never made me experience this kind of sh*t because I wasn't used to being treated this way!"Your Majesty," Marcus called him. There was a hint of hesitation in his tone, like he didn't want the Lycan King to wake up if he might be sleeping beside me. I saw how Marcus looked away and had his hands clenched. “The councils have been waiting for you. We need to go back in the pack because you have a meeting with them.”“I know; I’m trying to take my rest here," King Edward answered, giving me a shiver when his breath touched my skin. He howled harshly, then pulled my waist to tighten his hug on me. My lips parted when I felt the sparks coming from him. I was confused because this elect
My eyes widened in astonishment and my surroundings became slow as I watched how the bed went in my direction. A gasp came out from my lips when I touched the bed and jumped from it. The bed slammed into the wall, creating a disturbing noise but still, the troop didn't even go inside to check on me.Her desperation to assassinate me was incredibly insane. She gnashed her teeth when she threw some quick punches at me. I was panting when her punch landed on my chest, making me stumble backward, and my back slammed into the wall.She pursed her lips before she crossed her arms on her chest. I hardly coughed and tasted the metallic liquid coming from my mouth. I swallowed it and tasted how disgusted it was.“It's amazing you dare to fight against me even though they maltreated you like a slave. Perhaps it's because of your wolf,” she commented, slowly walking closer to me with a smug in her face. I groaned when I felt how painful my back was. I felt I was fragile glass, and would be easil
“It's surprising to know how you will almost kill that woman, Ashianna," King Edward said.Marcus didn't permit me to leave the room because I needed to take a rest. It was the doctor who suggested it before he informed King Edward about what happened. I began to hyperventilate because of anxiety when he encircled his hands around my waist. He gently pinched my skin, making me wince in pain. I swallowed when I felt his calloused palm touching my bare back.“A woman who doesn't have a wolf can almost kill a trained assassin lady. You're making me flabbergasted, Ashianna. You make me more curious about your identity," he added.I didn't know if he was being sarcastic toward me or not. He pursed his lips before he pulled my hair, which caused my mouth to part in pain. He stared at my eyes, trying to invade my soul, before I watched him lick his delectable lips. I swallowed hard, and it seemed there was a hard thing in my throat.I couldn't understand why he seemed more elegant and savor
King Edward didn't say anything, but when I saw how his forehead creased, it seemed like he didn't like what I had told him. Marcus scowled and gently massaged his temple before he deeply sighed. I couldn't understand why what I had said was such a big deal. I was only thinking about my safety because the woman who attacked me was an assassin. There might be another strong werewolf sent to kill me. They were desperate, and I didn't know why they wanted to eliminate me.Perhaps they were mad at my father; he was an Alpha who had more enemies. My father was ruthless but soft when it came to Ashra. I was the one who always mistreated me, and he turned blind whenever he witnessed his lovely daughter hurting me."Your Majesty, I know I don't have the right to ask you a little favor." My tone became soft and sweet. I held his hand, scared he might not let me hold him. I placed his hand on my cheek, closing my eyes while kissing it, too. My heart thumped so rapidly that I couldn't stop over
I was stunned by what Marcus had said about me. I couldn't understand why he became sarcastic when he mentioned that I was the woman who changed the King's decision. I decided not to think about it, trying to think that he was only amazed. What made me more questionable was how he gave Harvey a look while Harvey was walking towards me. It seemed he didn't like Harvey too much, like they were enemies who were about to crush once they got closer. I hoped I was wrong, especially when Harvey glared at Marcus before he walked closer to me. "I heard you request the Lycan King that you want me to be your personal guard." Harvey didn't greet me but started to talk to me using his harsh tone. I nodded while he took my things like a gentleman. He scoffed, trying to make me see he didn't like the idea of being with me every day, but I noticed a strange emotion he was trying to hide. "I'm one of the highest rank here, yet you're treating me like you're higher than me. Woman, you're only the mis
Sarah almost choked and was about to stand up with fury. I grinned at her, trying to make her see she was wasting my time on me. I wouldn't ever understand why I was the one she always had to deal with everyday in the harem. Her companions were acting good and saints in front of her while I was doing my best to ensure she would know I wasn't a saint or better than her.Being good wasn't enough, and despite I never wanted to fight against her, she continued bullying me and didn't want me to fight back against her. She wanted her target would volunteer to be her prey, but I wasn't like that.If I would let someone bully me, or hurt me physically and emotionally after what happened to me in Alpha James's pack. It meant, I never learned my lesson. They were treating me that way because I never bothered to prove that I wasn't weak, and useless they always told me.Youth wasn't timeless. I became older and I didn't want to regret I never tried only one time to defend myself. I wouldn't die
My anger at Sarah was like a fire burning the woods.The more wood she put in, the more I became angry towards her. I wanted to burn her and torment her for always being mean to me. I couldn't understand why I was the one she always tried to turn down. Sarah was a trigger for me, and there might be a possibility Alice might take control of my body without my notice. 'Bitch, how dare she!' Alice continued snarling, negotiating with me to let her control my body because she wanted Sarah to teach her a lesson. She was stronger than I was, but I was thankful she was asking for my permission first before she did something nasty with Sarah. 'Calm down, Alice. It's better if you relax yourself. Sarah is trying to---' 'She will regret provoking me. Why don't you put some laxatives in her drink? Come on, Ashianna. Do you want to lose this battle?' 'Alice, I'm not trying to compete with anyone. What I want is to get my revenge on Alpha James!' 'Liar. We are one body. I can smell your jeal
"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
