Writer's POVAs she lay in bed staring up at the ceiling, her mind was consumed with thoughts of him. She couldn't imagine what life would be like without him. She had never felt so strongly about losing any one before, and the thought of losing him was unbearable.She closed her eyes and tried to imagine a life without him, but the mere thought of it made her heart ache. The way he smiled at her, the way he held her close, the way he made her laugh – all of it was so important to her.She couldn't help but wonder if he felt the same way. Did he know how much he meant to her? Did he understand that she couldn't imagine a life without him? She had never been good at expressing her emotions, but she hoped he knew how much she cared for him.As she lay there lost in thought, memories of their time together flooded her mind. The way he had taken her on long walks by the river, the way they had spent countless evenings snuggled up on the couch watching movies, the way he had surprised her
As the sun began to set over the city, Xavier left his home and walked towards the river. He had been feeling lost and alone for some time, and he needed to clear his head. The river was a peaceful place, and he hoped that it would help him find some clarity.As he walked, he thought about his life. He had always been in the shadow of his brother; Xender, and he felt like he could never measure up to him. He had tried so hard to be seen as an equal, but it always felt like he was falling short. Xavier had every thing - the looks, talent, charm - and he had nothing compared to him.Xender reached the riverbank and sat down on a large rock. He looked out over the water, watching as the sun dipped below the horizon. The sky turned orange and pink, and he felt a pang of sadness. He didn't know why he was feeling this way. He had every thing he needed - a good job, a nice home, and a loving family. But he couldn't shake the feeling that some thing was missing.He sighed and looked down at
Xavier's PovAshley was sitting on the couch, her attention fixed on the television when I walked in. She was so excited to see that this was her first time after so many years.“Come here,” I say and hold out my hand. She turns around, and to my surprise and pleasure, she takes it without hesitation. “I want to show you my favorite part.”With her hand in mine, I lead her up the stairs and take her to my bedroom.“Your bed?” She rolls her eyes and snorts. “I’m shocked.”“Watch that mouth, or I’ll put it to better use,” I say as I take her chin and force her to look up at me. Her cheeks flush, and the way her pupils dilate makes me hard. “I see you like the idea of that almost as much as I do.”Her tongue darts out, and she wets her lips before I bend down and kiss her quickly. After that, I take her over to a door that connects another room to ours.Ours.That’s how I’ve thought of this place since I moved in, and it’s only been a matter of time since she joined me. Now that I’ve got
Ashley's PovMy eyes flutter open when a mouth brushes against mine. Xavier's dark gaze is the first thing I see, and I couldn’t be happier about it. “Morning.” He’s got a smile on his handsome face, and I could really get used to this. My mind is still trying to play catch up to my new reality, but so far, this is paradise.“I’m not a morning person,” I groan. “It’s your fault because the bed is so comfortable.” It also doesn’t have Xender on it.“Then let’s see if I can change that for you.”“What do you…” I trail off when Xavier slides down between my thighs.He takes his time as his tongue teases in soft strokes. I moan, enjoying the slow build to pleasure, and he doesn’t stop until I’m crying out his name.“Did that make it better?” I glance down and watch him kiss the inside of my leg before resting his head there. I run my fingers through his hair and recognize that this is better than any dream I’ve ever had.“That’s worth waking up for,” I laugh. “But I want you to finish wh
Writer's POVAshley Wilkie sat at the table with her closest friends; Brenna, Nicole and Juliana feeling anxious and unsure of what to do. She had been dating the Xavier's brother for a few weeks now, and things had been going great. But as she had gotten to know Xavier better, she realized that she had feelings for him too. She knew that she had to tell him the truth, but she didn't know how to do it without hurting him or ruining their friendship."I just don't know how to tell him," she said, fidgeting with her napkin. "He's going to be so hurt."Her friends exchanged sympathetic glances and nodded in agreement. "It's a tough situation," one of them said. "But you can't keep this from him forever. It's better to tell him now before things get more complicated.""I know," Ashley replied, sighing. "But how do I even start the conversation? What should I say?" She contemplated."Well, you could start by telling him that you need to talk to him about some thing important," Nicole sugg
Writer's POVThe coffee shop was bustling with the usual morning crowd, the scent of freshly brewed coffee filling the air. Ashley Wilkie sat at a small table by the window, a steaming mug of latte in front of her, waiting for Xender to arrive. They had arranged to meet before work to discuss letting Xavier know about their relationship. Ashkey looked at her watch and checked her phone, still no message from Xender.Just as she was about to text him, the sound of shattering glass filled the air. Ashley looked up to see a man sprinting past the coffee shop, followed by a group of people in hot pursuit. She watched as they disappeared around the corner and the noise of their shouting voices faded away. The other patrons of the coffee shop were murmuring nervously to each other, unsure of what had just happened.Ashley stood up, her heart racing in fear. She knew that Xender some times took this route to get to the coffee shop and was worried that he might have been caught up in the comm
Writer's POVAshley meant it when she said she really do want to talk to Xavier about this. Not like Xender was surprised about it, he expected it more than he ought to. He was ready to face his brother, besides, they've been into different odds and yet, they get back together.As the two brothers sat in front of her, Ashley took a deep breath and began to speak."I don't know how to say this without sounding like a complete mess, but I have to tell you guys how I feel. I know it's complicated, and it might be a shock to you, but I can't keep it in any longer. I have feelings for both of you."Xavier and Xender looked at her in surprise, unsure of what to say. Then she continued, her voice wavering slightly."I know it's not some thing that's easy to comprehend or accept, but I can't help how I feel. I care about both of you so much, and I can't choose between the two of you either. I have tried, believe me, but it just doesn't work. Every time I think I've made a decision, my heart p
Ashley's PovI barely got myself to sleep last night. The pain of losing a mate felt so heavy and deep like I've been casted a rock on my chest. I couldn't breathe due to the heavy tears which had soaked both my eyes and heart at the same time. I was beginning to doubt if I will ever get the chance to forgive Xavier for what he did. The way he treated Xender last night was some thing I couldn't even think of.If one is to see them, they'll be mistaken to be sworn enemies. I mean, they aren't just brothers, they are twins who share the same interests. And they are more like a family to themselves.Why would Xavier behave so stupid?Since Xender has refused me to go with him, which on the other hand I can't leave Xavier either, I doubt I'll ever talk to Xavier the way I used to. Since the two of them are my mates, I need them around me all the time. I need to feel the bond and connection, with this our love and relationship will be abundant and not being so selfish and greedy at the sa
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."
