Ashley's PovI watched Brenna and Nicole leave the office while I stayed back. The door opened, I was hoping it would be a lecturer but no. My eyes met with a slim figure, and with the knowledge of Xavier's description I presume it was Xender's so-called girlfriend."Hey, babe. I bought the snacks." She happily dropped the snack on his table, kissing his cheeks. "I gotta go now, my boss is calling me.""No problem." He said, kissing her back.Just one night, and it's all like a year already. I bluntly watch them kiss, all my head could interpret is… NOTHING! I won't be moved by this, their love has nothing to do with me."See you tonight." She rubbed his chin, blowing air kisses at him. As she made her way to the door, she looked at me from head to toe, shaking her head before exiting the room.I didn't let it bother me, she shouldn't be my problem, so I focused my gaze on Xender. "Bolt the door." I didn't ask why, I obediently did what he asked me to do."Tell me some thing, Ashley,
ASHLEY POVI was sick and tired of sitting my ass in the boredom of a home, Xavier isn't back home yet and that's a two times boredom for me. I picked my car key, zooming out to the street at 14th Avenue which wasn't quite far from home.Taking myself out is a second nature to me, I don't have to bother about how the day is or will be like. When the annoying loneliness shows into picture, all I've just gotta do is to pick my car key, and get the fuck out of my loneliness.I drove to the Spar, stepping out with so much confidence in me. The evening breeze was actually doing justice to me, and I loved the way it sent a cold shiver to my body. I walked in to pick some clothes, not like buying clothes was actually my aim for walking here, but being bored has caused me to do the things I don't wanna do."How much for this?" I asked the cashier."Fifty dollars." She answered."Wow!" I counted fifty dollars from my purse, stretching it to her. "I'll love to make some few pickups."I went to
Xavier's PovAfter Ashley left to her room, we continued with our conversation. "How is Juliana?" I asked."She's fine. She did ask of you.""Never thought she'd remember me."Xender gave me a "you're not being serious" look. "Is that how short minded you presume she is?" He said."Most girls tend to forget people they meet on their first day, and since it isn't the two of us dating, there is every chance for her to forget who I am."Xender chuckled. "She does remember you like any other day.""That's a relief then. I really like her, compared to Eleanor." I said."Yeah, Eleanor is a fuck up. I thought she was the best I can ever have." We exchanged glances, "I had the worst ever.""Let's just hope Juliana isn't the same. She looks nice to me.""Well, that's how Eleanor was in the start until she couldn't keep up with the fake life, she ended up showing her true nature.""It's quite good I'd say, at least she did it for your own good. If she had continued with the pretense, you would
Xender's PovXavier's attention was caught to some thing, so I followed the direction he was looking at only to see Ashley walking down the stairs on an exposed nightgown. It had almost every part of her body exposed, leaving only her chest covered.I could see the color of her panties, and those sexy thighs which felt soft when I grabbed them. She didn't pay much attention to me, she walked to Xavier, sitting on his lap. She kissed his lips like there was no one watching her.I understand her feelings for Xavier, and I can see as it blossoms every single day. "I couldn't sleep.""You should have told me earlier.""I didn't want to disturb your moment with your brother that's why."Xavier smirked. "You can never be disturbing my moments. As long as it's you, I don't care who's with me.""You're flattering me." She blushed."I'm saying the real fact, sweetheart." He kissed her, deeper and passionately. I took my gaze off them, picking up my phone to keep myself busy. "Hold on, I just r
Ashley's PovI can't explain my feelings, but I know I was feeling one thing for sure... Hurt. I honestly didn't mean to push him away from my life this time, but I had no choice. Now, I believe why he had pushed me away at first. It's so much easier to fall in love, but it's not as easy as you think to keep up with the feelings, especially when you've got some one else in your life.As much as I want to be happy, I want the same for him too. He deserves it. He deserves Juliana. And it's not so easy, but I just have to give it up. Some times, sacrifices are meant to be made for our own good. I'm not making this sacrifice just for myself, but for him too.I want him to feel loved and not cheated. Trying to offer two brothers special attention at the same time... Is that really possible? I've been with Xavier for a year plus now, and I'm only meeting him for barely a week. I know Xavier's weakness and strength. I know what he likes and what he hates.I can explain him better than I can
Ashley's PovI tried hiding my face from her as she made her way to the empty seat behind me. I didn't realize she had seen me already until she tapped my back."Hey," she called. "So we do meet again."I rolled my eyes, staring at my best friends who shook their heads also. "I never thought we'd meet again, you know. God bless the moon goddess who brought us together." She was actually finding her disturbance amusing."Excuse me?" I turned to look at her. "Coming here doesn't mean fate has a shit to do with us. You know, I'm beginning to wonder what a bartender running girl would be doing in such a great, well dedicated school like this. Or, could it be that you are here for a different agenda?" she was short of words at my question. As if that wasn't enough, the murmurs from the other students plus the chuckles which almost turned to laughter was quite embarrassing, I'd say. I smirked, scoffing at her face as I adjusted myself on my seat.I couldn't hold back the happiness watchin
Ashley's PovI was feeling so tired that I didn't notice sleeping. I woke up to see the bed empty but myself laying on it alone. Not again, Xavier.Could it be that he hasn't returned yet? Or is he keeping late nights again? He never stays out without informing me that he won't be back home that night. What's the problem tonight?I couldn't sleep again as the urge to sleep was gone. I wanted a chilled glass of milk and biscuit to quench the rumbling sound of hunger in my stomach. I couldn't eat before dozing off, I was damn so tired to think of eating some thing.I was putting on my panties with one of Xavier's t-shirts since I always wear it when I don't feel like putting on my nightgown. I shoved my hair back as I made my way out of the room to the dinning.I flinched when I saw Xavier sitting on the long couch watching TV. I smiled despite how shocked I was. Maybe he didn't want to bother me while sleeping. Awwn... he's such a sweet soul.I walked behind him to give him a kiss on h
Ashley's Pov.Tomorrow, our school's basketball team will be playing against the neighboring school and they've got only today for their training before they go into the final match. I was so excited that I'd be seeing Daniel playing after a long while.I know he'd be expecting to see me for the training. I was less busy so I made efforts to show up no matter what. I didn't want him feeling bad. I didn't show up, we aren't dating doesn't mean we aren't friends. Me and Brenna and Nicole, my crazy friends,we went to the basketball court to watch the game. We sat at the same empty seat which was on the third roll. I don't want Daniel to see me or he gets distracted.Yes,he always gets distracted whenever he sees me. They were still making a few stretches, and they'd talk to themselves. They've got barely two minutes before the game begins.I noticed his eyes searching around the court. I hesitated to wave at him, I felt maybe he was expecting some one else. But when I decided to raise m
Ashley sat on the cozy couch, her mind still buzzing with the vivid dream her son Ethan had shared with her that morning. The morning sun spilled through the window, casting a warm glow over the room as she attempted to put Ethan's dream into words. A thousand words to describe the depths of her thoughts, her hopes, and the emotions that welled up within her.Ethan, a bright and imaginative seven-year-old, had recounted his dream with wide-eyed excitement. After he had spoken of seeing a version of himself in a world where he had a brother. The dream had struck a chord within Ashley, igniting a sense of longing and curiosity she hadn't felt before. She marveled at Ethan's ability to envision a sibling, a companion who would accompany him on the journey of life.As she mulled over Ethan's dream, Ashley turned to her husband Xavier, seeking solace and understanding. Xavier, a pillar of strength and wisdom, listened intently as Ashley relayed the details of the dream. Together, they expl
As Ethan drifted into a peaceful slumber, his mind transported him to a realm of dreams, where the boundaries of reality dissolved. In this ethereal world, he found himself standing in a peculiar home, an unfamiliar place that emanated an aura of both familiarity and strangeness. The dream house had an elegant charm, adorned with tasteful decor that reflected an amalgamation of styles. The walls, painted in soft pastel shades, created an atmosphere of serenity and warmth.In the dream, Ethan caught sight of a reflection in a mirror, and to his astonishment, he saw a version of himself that he had never encountered before. This doppelgänger possessed luscious, golden locks that cascaded effortlessly around his face. It was a stark contrast to Ethan's own dark brown hair, which he had become accustomed to. The blonde-haired version of himself appeared serene, exuding an air of confidence and tranquility.As Ethan continued to explore the dream home, his attention was drawn to a figure b
Xender, being a strong and noble werewolf, had long yearned for a mate to share his life with. He was grateful for the moon goddess to have blessed him with Ashley, but when things seemed unpredictable, he knew he had to draw back.His heart had found solace in Janet, a captivating and spirited woman who had captured his affection from the moment they met. As fate would have it, the time had come for Xender to proclaim Janet as his mate, solidifying their bond in the eyes of their pack and the world beyond.News of their union rippled through the Crescent Pack, spreading like wildfire through the whispering winds that carried the stories of the pack's inhabitants. From the youngest cub to the oldest elder, the tales of Xender and Janet's love echoed through every corner of their territory, igniting joy and curiosity in the hearts of their pack members.However, not every one greeted the news with unbridled excitement. Ashley, a wolf who had secretly harbored a smoldering flame for Xen
Janet lay on the hospital bed, her face etched with both determination and pain as she battled through the throes of labor. Beads of sweat dotted her forehead, her grip tight on the handrail as she endured the waves of contractions. Each breath was accompanied by a soft whimper, as if her body was pleading for relief from the intense pressure.Xender paced anxiously in the waiting room, his heart racing with every agonizing cry that escaped Janet's lips. He couldn't bear to hear her in such agony, his mind consumed by worry for his beloved mate. Time seemed to stretch endlessly, and each passing second felt like an eternity as he imagined the worst scenarios.Finally, after what felt like an eternity, a joyous cheer erupted from the delivery room. The sound of a baby's cry filled the air, mingled with a sense of relief. Xender's ears perked up, his eyes brimming with hope as he strained to catch any sign of Janet's voice. But silence lingered, and fear gripped his heart, suffocating h
Xender was deep in thoughts that he had lost his guard, and made her -Janet catch him from a distance, literally staring at her. He didn't realize this yet as he was more concentrated in his thoughts.He was confused as to what to do as all he thought of was the fact that she might turn out to be his second chance mate. He was literally confused. His head spun in so much confusion, not even his wolf could give him answers to the questions that bugged his mind.He needed to make a decision, but then he didn't know what exactly was the truth. He couldn't really differentiate from the reality of what it was to what he might be thinking it is.That is to say that, she might be his mate or maybe he was only imagining things that were not true. But no matter how these thoughts bugged him, he couldn't give himself a better response to what exactly was going on.He was still in thoughts that he didn't realize that Jane was In front of him not until she flicks and snap her fingers at him the
Xender realizes that he might remain single and sedate all of his life. He couldn't take it anymore and therefore decided that he would concentrate on Janet his maid.She was pregnant for him and should be his priority and so therefore decided that he would do everything to make her happy, but when he finally began to crave for her attention, she robbed it from him.He would call for her presence but she would end up giving one excuse or the other.It was either she was busy or needed rest, she literally had no time for him.And even when he had asked her to move into the room with her, she declined."I am your personal maid and therefore share no bond or relationship with you, and so therefore I see no reason why I should stay in the same room with you.." She replied to him bluntly before walking away.Xender realizes that his maid was putting up an attitude for him, and this made him even more depressed and frustrated, he didn't know what it was that he would do.He saw his life as
Although Xender had agreed for her to stay with her parents until she had put to birth, but he was not really in support of it.He was more worried having to know that she would take care of his baby alone. He feared the chances of she putting the baby's life in harm's way.He was more protective of the child than ever, and having to just agree on the idea was white difficult for him, but then he didn't want her to feel bad, let alone give her the room to think that she is incompetent to take care of his child.But the fact that he had to stay away from his child was really annoying and sickening, and with the thoughts of this he decided that he'll have someone spy on her and notify him of her every move until she puts to bed.A few weeks later Ashley went through labor as she was rushed to the hospital, and luckily enough there was no complication as it turned out to be that she gave birth to twins. The spy immediately relays this information to Xender who in turn was elated that hi
He got her to the front seat as he immediately got into the driver's seat."I told you right? I am not going to follow you, so why do you still force it on me?" She inquired in anger, but he said nothing and began the ignition.And just when she thought of opening the car door it was just too late for her as he had locked it.And with this he zoomed out of the mall.While driving to the mall, there was silence between the both of them. Xender looked for a more comfortable place to halt down and then turned to her."Why the hell did you decide to leave? What is wrong with you?" He asked her and all he got was silence from her. She didn't utter a word as all she did was to remain muted. This pissed him a lot, but he was still trying to maintain his anger."First of all you tried to abort the baby and now you just ran out of the castle without letting anyone know, despite the fact that you have my baby?" He asked.All of what he'd say to her went on dead ears as she gave no reply to him
The guard did according to what he was instructed to do by the Alpha. He had his eyes on her the entire time and never ceased to stare away from her.He couldn't even concentrate with the shopping he did with his girlfriend as all of his attention was on her.His girlfriend seeing how he stared at Jane got a wrong impression, she literally misunderstood things from her angle and thought that her boyfriend might be having eyes for another woman that too infront of her.She gets jealous and stops purchasing her items. If they were in a convenient place then she would have just flared out of anger.But she decided to maintain her countenance and ask her boyfriend why he would be staring at the lady that way.He gave him a hard nudge as he winced a little, and when the guard turned to his girlfriend a little, making sure that his eyes still didn't leave Jane."Why did you do that?" He asked her."And you should explain why you should be having eyes for another woman right in front of me."
