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's PovI sat on the couch watching TV when my phone beeped. It was a message from Xender. I was surprised he had sent me a message, I mean, how the heck did he get my number? I don't remember giving him my number, or could it be Juliana or Xavier?It's definitely not Xavier, because he'd probably ask him thousands of questions to justify why he needed my contact number, so it's no one else but Juliana.That bitch will do whatever it takes to get Xender and I together. Whatever it takes!I opened the message, reading through the writing. "Let's meet at the junction. I'll pick you up there. I've got some thing to discuss with you."I was hellish bored here, and I wanted every chance to go out. Xavier wasn't back yet, Juliana left around three in the afternoon. It's just me and myself here, watching movies that weren't interesting to me.I rushed upstairs to have a quick shower and change into some thing good. I phoned Xavier while I was applying my makeup, telling him that I was l
Ashley's PovWe held each other's hand until we got to the river bank. We stepped out of the car, Xender walked to my side. "It's been a long time since I came here. Years to be precise.""The last time I ever visited a river bank, I was only eight years old. I can't forget the memories. Thank you for bringing us here."He held my hand and we walked down the valley to the river bank. The smell of water filled the atmosphere, and I just can't stop myself from inhaling the smell."It's beautiful here." I complimented, squeezing my hands around my chest. "Yeah, it is."I stared across the river to the opposite city. It was a different pack from ours. I don't really remember the name but I have heard a lot about the pack. It wasn't a good one though, there were many killings. I also heard during the time of Xavier's father, they invaded the pack countless times. Most times, they appear as spies with fake identities, pretending to be one of us. When they learn the in and out of the pack,
Writer's POVThe moment seem to be an undying one as none wants to let go of the other. The kiss had gone from a passionate one to a deep hot kiss, almost to ecstasy where the two would be on each other, miles away from a normal chemistry.What stopped the kiss was a weird smell which tickled Xender's nostrils. "What's wrong?" Ashley asked, worried."Some one is here." He said, leaving Ashley in fear."Who is here?" She asked, but Xender was more attentive in finding the sound of the smell. "Xender, talk to me. Who is here?"He held her arm. "You don't have to be scared, you've got me." He assured her.He looked around in search of the smell. It was that of a human, but it doesn't belong to any one from his pack. It was that of another pack. "The scent is getting close.""Is it that of a human being?" She asked."Yes." Ashley's heart rose in fear as she too glared around the area. "Xender, I think we should get going now.""Not yet. The body is barely alive.""We don't know if it's a
Writer's POVXender had left to make the hospital payments. Ashley forces herself to sit up, but she still felt dizzy and it was pulling her down. The lady walks to help her sit by the edge of the bed. "Be careful." She said,"Don't worry, I'll be fine." She said,"The young master says I should keep an eye on you." Said the girl, letting go of Ashley who was now sitting on her own."You don't have to do every thing he says you should do, besides, I ain't a kid any more." She coughs. "By the way, what's your name?" She asked."My name is Vennesa Dan." She replied."Nice to meet you, Van. Okay with the name?" Ashley asked."That's what my mother always calls me." She smiled."My name is Ashley Wilkie." She introduced."Nice to meet you too, Miss Wilkie.""Just call me Ashley." She corrected. "Can I ask you a question?""Sure. Any thing.""We found you by the river last night, were you running from some one?" Ashley asked.Vennesa buried her face to the ground, like she was finding it d
Writer's POVXender was moved by what she said. Why would she say that? He thought to himself as he maintained eye contact with the road. "Who's gonna die?" He asked, not sparing her a glance."The reason why I came here." She looked out of the window. "I didn't come here because I wanted to, or because I believe this is the safest place for me." She looks at Xender who returns the glance. "I came because the witch told me to. She said I will find the one who will save my pack from our treacherous leaders. She said I would find him in your pack."This left Xender deep in thought, he couldn't imagine who exactly it is she is talking about. "Did this witch give you a name?" He asked."No, she didn't. She said I should find him on my own." The rest of the ride remained a quiet one. Vennesa rested her head on the dashboard of the door, letting sleep take over her.Xender wanted to believe every thing she had said were all framed up, but his instincts told him she was telling the truth. A
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."
