KIMBERLY“Who’s there? Let me out of this place! Who is there!?” I banged the door in anger as I continued screaming loudly.I couldn’t believe he locked me up. What was he trying to do? I can’t let him sacrifice himself or my child.“Help! Open this door.” The Moon Goddess was good at playing with our minds but I will never let her ruin my family.“Help!” I sighed heavily as I leaned my back on the door and slid down, tears rolling from my weak eyes down to my rough cheeks.I have been locked in my room for almost one day and a few hours, I haven’t gotten any information about what was happening. I was anxious and uncomfortable.Why was he taking the matter in his hands? I can save the situation myself.“My Lady… My Lady..” soon, I started hearing a whispering sound through the door and I paused, cleaning my eyes.“Did I hear something?” I asked Jariah inwardly.“I think so.” We waited for another minute to see if it was our imagination or something.“My Lady… are you there?” I place
ASHMANI paced around my office with a big frown all over my face, I didn’t want to admit it. I didn’t want to accept the fact that I agreed to sacrifice my only daughter to the Moon Goddess.I sighed heavily and slid my hand through my hair, turning it into a mess. I was about to go insane.“My Lord, at this stage - is there anything I could do to help?” Axel’s voice brought me out of my reverie.“I don’t think so. As a father, I can’t even protect my child.” I shook my head in disbelief.“I’m so sorry about that, My Lord.” he frowned, lowering his head.“Kimberly will be so mad if she heard that I cast our child away.” I said.“But it isn't your fault, My Lord. No one can outwit the Moon Goddess.” he assured me vividly and I sighed.I faced him.“Am I a wicked father?” Those were the dole words that escaped from my mouth and immediately, he shook his head.“No, you are not. Ashley is smart and will understand every decision that you make.” He said.Suddenly, I started hearing flit s
KIMBERLYI walked into the quiet living room and took up the remote to watch any available channel. I have been lying on the bed for years in the name of sickness, my leg and body felt numb so I thought of moving around.“Ma’am, you are not to leave your room.” Andrea rushed over to me and I sighed crashing on the armchair.“Why? Did Ashman ask you to lock me up again?” I rolled my eyes.“No. No. Not at all.” she rattled out as she placed the tray on the table.“This is your morning medication with hot soup to warm you up.” she said and I nodded.“I will have it later.” I said.“No, ma’am. You have to take them now.” she said in a more serious but courteous tone.I focused on her.“Why the rush?” I pursed my lips.“Lord Ashman said we are leaving for Ordean Ville this evening. You need to take your last dose.” she informed me and my heart skipped a bit.I almost thought he would change his mind after that day. So, he could actually kill his daughter in the act of pleasing the goddess.
KIMBERLYAfter Drake’s resurface, the method at which he was addressed in the mansion changed. Everyone that witnessed the incident started calling him “My Lord” and I could see the anger in Ashman’s eyes whenever he heard them call him such.The elders stopped us from leaving - announcing to us that there was going to be a crucial important meeting. It gave me more time to show my children around the mansion peacefully.We entered the isolated garden that was still the same as it was, Ashley left my hand and started dancing around the garden, Drake followed suit.They laughed happily with the cool morning breeze flushing on our faces.“Mummy, did you live here all your life?” Ashley asked.“You can call it that.” I curled my lips and Drake gave me a cold look before turning back to her.I knew what that meant but I intentionally ignored it. He didn’t expect me to tell her about our fallen pack and how her father abducted me into getting married to him.“Senior Drake, thank you so muc
ASHMAN“That little boy became an Alpha under my watch?” I scoffed.Amos and I groomed him, now I feel we made a mistake in keeping him alive.“My Lord, you called for me.” Axel entered my chamber.Because of this mess, we haven't been able to leave Ordean Ville, they demanded for instant coronation which is never possible. Not under my watch.Was it Kimberly's bastard? I will kill him with my bare hands.“Where is he? Drake.” I questioned him with contempt.“He left to the hall with Lady Kim.” he informed me and my gaze increased on him.“What?” I gasped.“Take me there. Why was she taking him to the hall?” I asked him but he totally had no idea.Was this all her plans? To take my throne away from me?I laughed.“As long as I live, no one will rule my pack if not my heir.” I gritted inwardly.The hallway was dried leading to the hall. It seems the whole pack emptied to gather in the hall.What plan does she have this time? I was baffled.“My Lord, do you really have to attend?” Axel
[ASHMAN]“My Lord, the chief has something to say to you.” Immediately Axel reported to me, I made my way out of my bedroom.He must have gotten news from GAL2020.*FLASH BACK*“Is he mad? I let him off the last time but this time, I won't. I’m in a bad mood and unfortunately, he is my prey.” I grinned looking mischievous.“Let GAL2020 take over this task, secretly.” I instructed him on the phone.*PRESENT TIME*I smirked and hastened my footstep when I remembered my last discussion with him.Suddenly, I crossed paths with Drake. He seemed to be waiting for me.“Go ahead.” I informed Axel and he left after a short bow.“What is it, My Lord?” I curled my lips staring at him, my voice pervaded sarcasm.He fell on his knees.“I’m sorry for putting you in a difficult situation, dad.” he cried out sadly and I smirked.“Dad? Where is that coming from?” I rolled my eyes around him.“Dad, Drake is your child since he is mummy’s son.” I heard Ashley’s voice from behind, and she approached us.
[ASHMAN]“Harold! How many times have I asked you not to open the gate for these people?” I scratched my head as though I was going to run mad any minute from now.My mum and aunt were seated on the armchair with their arms crossed to their chest. They looked serious unlike before.Kimberly was seated across them, she scanned them impatiently.Andrea had already gone upstairs with the children.“Are you going to continuously act clueless? We can’t accept this woman in our family.” my mother said in disagreement, I smirked.“Mum, have you forgotten? My father divorced you, I will never do anything that will please you.” I spilled bluntly straight at her face.“The only reason I’m listening to you is because your blood still runs in my veins.” I informed her and she smirked standing from the armchair.“Have you forgotten what I can do? The length I can go until I get what I want?” she looked at me dangerously before narrowing her gaze down to Kimberly.“Don’t you dare touch my woman!” I
[KIMBERLY]“We are having cakes for breakfast and that’s final!” his mother said strictly while taking her seat on Ashman’s position.As usual, he had left the mansion in the name of avoiding them, only the goddess knew what he was up to.“The children are too young to eat sweet things in the morning. You can go ahead with that for yourself.” I refused.“Who is the captain of this house? Have you forgotten your position?” Madam Doriente fired at me.“Keep it low, the children are here with us. Isn’t she Ashman’s wife? Why are you two making things hard for her?” His grandmother defended me vividly and they fell shut.We were in the heat of having breakfast when Andrea stepped into the dining room.“How many times have I warned you and any servants never to step their legs in here whenever I’m eating!” his mother rebuked curtly.I never knew she could be this adamant and arrogant. I thought it was just for the drama but her actions were becoming annoying as the day grew.“I’m sorry, ma
