Ashley's PovMrs Williams took Juliana and I to the school clinic before we went to her office. She had dropped us under a three hour detention until school dismissed. The room was in total silence, I wish Mrs Williams would leave for a second, I won't hesitate to strangle this bitch's neck.Xavier on the other hand, will kill me. He's gonna yell at me. Well, I'll just have to explain to him what happened and why it happened. After what took like ages, Mrs Williams finally let us go. The school was already dried, no one was left except for the three of us. We didn't say a word to each other. My driver was already waiting for me outside, while there was no one to take her home.I didn't care if she would walk home or take the bus, nothing about her bothered me. "Let's get out of here." I said to my driver who immediately drove us out of the school compound.My face was seriously paining me, especially my head. Juliana had smacked it in a way I can't even explain. I must have underesti
Ashley's PovI walked into the school building after my driver had dropped me. I had decided not to talk to any one but my two best friends; Brenna and Nicole since they were the only ones so dear to my life. I headed straight to the class, luckily, Brenna and Nicole were there before me.They gave me this concerned look and I don't like it. I don't want to feel sorry for, I don't wanna feel like I can't fight for myself. I wasn't in the mood to fight back that's why I had the severe injury while she had the smaller one.If I was mean, I would have done it times two on her and Xender would have no choice but to expel me out of the school. Now, the eyes staring at me was some thing I don't want. I just want to feel like nothing ever happened.I sat on the empty seat they had kept for me. "Hey." Brenna whispered. "How are you doing?" She asked me.I nodded my head at him. "I'm fine.""How do you feel?" She asked. "Great." I said, trying to sound alright."You don't look okay to me." Ni
Ashley's PovWe took with us broomsticks, brushes, buckets, mop sticks, water and a few equipment necessary for cleaning up the store room. We indicated our portions, warning each other not to have any thing to do with our marked sides.We agreed to the terms.We started cleaning. This room is a hell of a mess. How long has this room been like this? Even the atmosphere, the ceiling, the ground was nothing to talk about.After what took like an hour, we sat on our buckets tired. I couldn't continue any more, the strength was gone. I was busy with my cell phone. Thankfully, Brenna dropped a message for me."How are the cousels going?""Pretty cool. Now, we are stuck in the store room, cleaning bunches of garbage."She dropped a laughing emoji. "That's cool.""Seriously?""Yeah. At least, the two of you can get along.""Duh. Not like I care."We chatted for a long time. I was getting bored with typing, so I decided to play my music. "That's loud." She said, not sparing a glance at me."Y
Ashley's PovDripping wet from the buckets of water we've been pouring on ourselves, we headed for Mrs Meyer's office. We offered a knock on the door, she permitted us to enter without asking who it was.We stood outside, not wanting to walk in. She stared at us with surprise boldly written on her face. I believe she was shocked at what she was staring at."Please, you guys should come in." She said.We glared at ourselves, walking in. "Ma'am, we came to inform you that we are done with the store room. You can have it inspected now." I said."Well, I'll do that later. But why the new looks?" She asked, wanting an answer why we were looking messy."She caused it." I pointed at Juliana and she pointed back at me, saying the same words."No, I didn't." I said with all confidence. "Actually we…" We were talking at the same time, making it impossible for Mrs Meyers to understand what we were saying. She only looked at us with a confused look on her face, her eyes moving at Juliana and I at
WRITER'S POVAshley changed from her night gown to a pair of jeans trousers and a t-shirt when Xavier told her that they would be expecting some guests tonight. He didn't go into details to explain to her who the guests were, he only told her that she needs to get ready for their guests.Ashley was more than ready to see who her guests were. This will be the tenth time she was asking Xavier what was keeping the guests waiting."Don't worry, they'll be here soon." He assured her even though he knew those words won't calm her down.There came a knock on the door. A maid had gone to open it, while another came to Xavier's office to inform them that their guests had arrived. "I told you, they'll be here soon.""I never doubted you." She said to cover up.They exited his office, heading to the sitting room to see Xender and Juliana already sitting on the long sofa. Ashley stood surprised, she wasn't expecting it to be them coming. With the way Xavier sounded, she had thought it was a diffe
Ashley's PovI was looking at Juliana and the only thing that kept repeating in my head is the moaning sounds I was hearing from their room last night. It was more like a hunting daymare to me. I wasn't angry at her for doing what she did with Xender, I was more angry at Xender for breaking my heart.He told me that he loves me more, why then would he betray that trust I had in his words. He said nothing will come between his love for me no matter what, why then am I seeing some thing different?Even as we sat in the pizza store, I had lost the appetite to eat any thing. I just wanted to think, I want to believe what I had heard last night wasn't real but an act of my imagination.Juliana flicked her fingers at me, bringing me back to reality. And from the looks on her face, I can guess she's been calling me for a long time now.I sighed, looking at her bluntly. "What are you thinking about?" She asked."Nothing." I sighed again. "Are you sure you are alright?" She asked me."Yes, ju
Juliana's PovAfter we had talked about our feelings, I decided we should go to the shopping mall to have fun. After all the pain, the hatred and jealousy we shared, it was time we had fun with each other.She said she was tired of driving, so she decided I should take the wheel. This was my first time driving a Posh car. I had never even for once imagined myself in the car, to talk of driving it.We drove to the shopping mall. We weren't just gonna have a walk around, no. We were up to some thing other than just walking around. We paid for the playing center, we were gonna have the best of it today.We spent almost half of the day there, after that, we drove to the bar where I work. There, we drank to stupor, letting go of our worries and pains. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a brand new day for us, a new life to begin with.I thought I loved drinking, but not until I saw Ashley. She was on her fourth bottle, and yet, she was aiming for more. I thought werewolves never get drunk, I mean
Xender's PovI couldn't sleep after listening to what Juliana had said. It hurts me that she had to find out in a different way. I didn't expect she would understand the situation at hand, she even decided I should move on without her.But what made me happy the most is the fact that she has finally found her mate. At least, we don't have to separate with regrets in our heart.Ashley has always been the one in my mind, and getting married to Juliana wasn't my plan. I had only said that to give Xavier reasons I wish I knew. I never expected he would take it this seriously. When I said that, I noticed Ashley's mood changed from a happy one to a dad one. I didn't mean to make her cry, I never meant to hurt her feelings. As much as I love her, she does love me too. I never thought I would be loved like this.Ashley is the first, and will always be the first woman to win my heart so deep. She has done some thing not even Eleanor has done. It just took us a night to understand what we mean
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."
