“What did you fucking say?” I screamed with fury after I heard what she was telling me. A smirk plastered on her lips as if she was trying to poke fun at me which made Alice control me, step closer to her, and pull her hair.Joanne was shocked by what I had done to her, she wept like she was the different person I had talked with. My hands were shaking in anger all I saw was only pitch black. I tightly grasped her hair, making her wince in pain because she was taken aback by what my actions were.“Fucking bitch, repeat what you have said, or else, I will make you regret what you—” She didn’t let me finish what I was about to say when she laughed hard before she licked her lips again.“You’re fucking with your mother’s murderer. King Edward is the beast who killed your mother. Your family has been resenting you so despite knowing about what King Edward had done, they trapped you here to make your life miserable!” Joanne said with a joy in her tone.It seemed my world stopped revolving
When I opened my eyes, I was greeted by the white ceiling. The scent of the alcohol made me realize where I was. King Edward seemed to have brought me to the pack hospital because I fainted because of the so much emotion in my chest. My tears continued flowing down my cheeks, I bit my lip to suppress the sob that was about to come out so they wouldn’t notice I was already awake.King Edward kept denying the fact he was the one who killed my mother. However, he wasn’t sure either. Perhaps he was the one who did it because the investigation was stopped all of a sudden. “Ashianna, you’re awake. The pack doctor gave me permission to bring you back in the pack. King Edward wants to ensure you’re safe so he will never be worried.” Gunner whispered and filled with concern. I turned my attention to him, he was stunned for a moment like she didn’t expect me to look at him.“Gunner, I know how faithful you can be to the Lycan King. I want you to be honest with me. Is it true it’s King Edward w
The news suddenly spread out and seeing how Sarah blushed because of what King Edward might be planning broke my heart. I might be the favored one but I wasn't the one he would marry, and be his Queen. I couldn't understand why most of the concubines were staring at me with sympathy. I hated how they looked at me as if I was miserable for not being chosen as the Lycan Queen. I thought Sarah would diss me but she didn't do it because of how happy she was about the announcement. Lady Maureen seemed bitter, and she continued glaring at Sarah with jealousy. Sarah cleared her throat before she gave me the dress she wanted me to wear. She was smiling innocently at me and I hoped I could wipe her smirk at me.“Ashianna, I know we aren't fine since we are enemies in this pack. But since you helped me the moment you found out I'm about to pass out because of starvation, I will share some secrets with you.” Sarah sounded sweet, and I was stunned when she touched her belly, making me baffled.
“Fuck them!” Leo gnashed his teeth as he pulled the rope to quicken the pace of the carriage. I looked back as I heard the neighs coming from the horses.Leo's veins were almost popping in his arms, and his eyes darkened like he was getting infuriated as King Edward's armies turned more. It seemed King Edward ensured I wouldn't have a chance to escape from him despite of he was about to marry Sarah.“Shit. Gunner don't warn me about this. Damn him.” Leo murmured before he checked on me I almost clenched my hands on the armrest to ensure my safety.“Ashianna, right?” he asked, and he got my attention. I checked on him, and I saw how he roamed his eyes from the surroundings. He hardly breath before he jumped out from the horses, and removed the metals. “What is it?” I inquired with curiosity, touching the lace of my dress. I watched him going towards me before he took a clothes. “We can't leave this pack if you're still wearing these dresses. You need to change your clothes because thi
I felt I would die because of how my vision spun, giving me an impact of nausea as my heart skipped beating, anxiously making my body pause for a moment. However, the thought of the last man I had seen before I lost my consciousness made me hope it was truly King Edward. I couldn’t understand why I hoped he was the one who saved me that night, putting some excitement rose in my chest after I inhaled the scent of alcohol from the hospital as I opened my eyes. Unfortunately, I was alone in the room, gasping to breathe some air as my eyes roamed around every corner, but King Edward wasn’t with me. I might have been hallucinating before I fainted, but I was sure it was him. His intense, sparkling blue eyes and his pinkish lips were recognizable that night. My heart shrank as a pang in my chest struck before I stood up in a hurry, panicking, and felt the excitement rush through my veins as I rushed towards the door. “Ashianna!” Startled as I heard a loud voice coming behind the door, my
“Gunner, are you sure about that news? How is it possible she’s the missing daughter of the Alpha King---” I didn’t let Leo finish what he was trying to say when I slammed the door open. My body convulsed in an aggressive manner before I looked at them with pain and sadness in my eyes. “What are you two talking about? What’s with the Alpha King?” The tone of my voice became hoarse as my throat clenched in pain. Shit. They were both stunned but managed to hide the surprise when they found out I accidentally eavesdropped on their conversation. The news was like a trigger earthquake, giving an impact to ignite the sleeping volcano in me. My knees trembled, getting weaker because of the tremendous emotions inside me. I was shocked, literally, and I wasn’t aware I was holding my breath for several minutes. “Gunner, what are you saying?” I asked again, hoping to get some response. Gunner stared at me expressionless, but Leo had a surprising emotion; he found it amusing. I discovered the
I cleared my throat when he looked at me with disbelief. Gunner seemed to be processing what I had told him and felt I was joking at him. The truth: I decided to know the truth because I wanted to know why I came into Alpha Rex’s pack. I remembered what Luna mentioned; they never knew I existed as his daughter because he always brought Ashra whenever he needed to. We were both victims who suffered at the hands of our enemies. I didn’t think Luna was lying because she was sweeter to me than I was. She never judged me as one of the mistresses of King Edward, and she might blame herself for knowing her loving, missing daughter became a concubine. “What makes you change your mind all of a sudden? Ashianna, perhaps you’re forcing yourself to know the truth. Take everything slowly; we don’t like to gamble on the babies safety.” Gunner coldly uttered but I shook my head. “I can’t move forward if I don’t know the truth, Gunner. No, my apologies, Alpha Gunner.” I heard how he laughed at me a
Luna, my mother, became so emotional that she couldn't stop herself from arching her arms at mine. Whenever I saw her, she looked at me with tears, like she was afraid I might disappear from her sight. She kept whispering how delighted she was to find me alive.“Honey, where's Alpha Gunner?” She asked with curiosity. She roamed her eyes around, and we didn't even see the Alpha King with us. “We need to eat,” she added, while there was a frown on her face.“He might be with the Alpha,” I answered, sounding hesitant to call my father Dad because of his position in the pack. I was frightened to make the wrong move, as I didn't know how to address him.Aside from that, my father seemed heartless and brutal, especially because of his tattoos. A part of me felt amazed because he endured how to get inked in his neck, but there was another part of me cringing at how painful it was.Luna stopped doing the chores and chuckled as she rushed towards me. My eyes were locked in her direction becaus
