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
ANDREAWith a smile on my face, I approached the garden with a bottle of water. Killian has been trimming the flowers in the garden since morning. He had asked me to bring some water for him but due to the many activities inside the mansion, I almost forgot.Suddenly, someone pulled and dragged me into a corner - I reacted startled and shocked.“Who…” my lips pursed. “Axel?” I called him in surprise.“What are you doing here? I thought you left the mansion with Lord Ashman.” I asked him cryptically with my eyes dancing on him, he cleared his throat.“Look here, I don’t understand your relationship with that new gardener.” he began and I smirked inwardly.“I thought you loved me? Why did you find him attractive all of a sudden?” his gaze increased on me anxiously, desperately yearning for my response.I crossed my arms on my chest.“Maybe, I’m a grasshopper.” I sneered.“What do you mean?” he raised a brow in contempt.“As soon as I killed my feelings for you, I found another man attra
[ASHLEY]"Marry Me, Ashley Ashman." Everything was happening so fast.Last week, Drake became the Alpha of the pack and told me to live happily while he protects me undercover.And this morning, there was Alpha Wex, kneeling before me in the presence of my parents. Asking that I marry him."Marry you? Impossible!" My mother scoffed."Do you think we don't know your plan or who you are?" My father left my mother's side and approached us."You are Kelanin's son and I know quite well that you are back for revenge. I won't let you turn my daughter into some toys!" My father warned him seriously and he smirked in astonishment."Revenge?" He curled his lips and faced my father."An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind. Living well and becoming massively successful is the best revenge rather than death." He began."Revenge is for the weak and jobless, and I don't think I have such time for it. When seeking revenge, one needs to dig two graves because the other is for themselve
[ASHLEY]"Mum, I heard from aunt Andrea that you want to have an audience with me." I raised a brow as I sat on the chair that made a clunking sound."Yes darling, how are you?" She caressed my hand and I smiled."Fine. I'm good." I nodded in affirmative."I heard Wex secretly visited you last weekend. What's happening?" She asked anxiously, I had thought that she would never ask."He came for me again. He would never leave me alone." I informed her and she listened without interrupting."But mum, I love Drake more than Sex." I said sadly and she poked my cheeks softly before cupping them into her hands."I'm sorry darling. Sometimes life gives you a rock and you have to accept it and live with it." She said cryptically and I didn't follow up."What do you mean?" I asked, raising a brow."Should I tell you a story?" She questioned slyly and I sighed heavily."Sure, yes." I said.My mother's story was filled with moral lessons and I felt that they were stories of her life that she want
[ASHLEY]His hands wrapped my thin waist as he pulled me into his warm embrace. I couldn't believe I was embracing Drake after so many years.His hands were now stronger, he was taller and more muscular than in the past."I miss you.... so much." Those were the words that escaped from my mouth as I buried my face on his chest."I'm back, Ash." He said sweetly with his hand stroking my back.I was super excited and happy that he had returned. We had to break apart when we noticed that my parents were standing adjacent to us and watching."It's a good thing to see you back, man." My father nodded his head looking impressed as he placed his hand on Drake's shoulder."My son, I...." My mum beckoned to embrace him but he stopped her, we were confused."I'm not your son, Mrs. Ashman." He began. For some reason, I was both happy and sad."I'm Drake, someone who is in love with your daughter and would protect her till the end." He said seriously, my parents' mouth hangs in the air and I blush
[ASHLEY]I spilled the truth that has been in my heart for ages but mum's facial expression got me confused.I have been building these feelings since we were kids though I couldn't still ascertain it but I knew I had something deep for him. He was unforgettable.Even when mum and dad told me to keep off that he was my brother, I never believed them but I had to play alone because I was just five years old then but now, I wasn't willing to remain their puppet.At least not before I would be married to someone I don't love.My mother couldn't respond to me, rather she rushed out of the room looking annoyed and afraid.Out of anxiety, I followed her out of my room. The luck I had was that aunt Andrea wasn't standing by the exit."Ashman. Ash!" I heard my mum calling my dad and I hid behind the culvert."Babe, what's up?" My dad concluded with uncle Axel before approaching my mum.I wondered what she wanted to say to him. This was something we could have discussed and she would either re
Greetings to my wonderful readers,How have you been?Hope you are and have been enjoying this thrilling Werewolf romance novel.I'm sorry if some chapters got too hot, too interesting, boring and weak but the end matters. I truly appreciate your sincerity, consistency and support.After finishing the verse of Kimberly and Ashman, we would love to divert properly into the life other their children and the issues faced.I don't mean I would write another bulk epistle of their story, NO!This book will only contain few chapters of the daughter's heart troubles and taking up her father's throne (If ever).We would rather want to know more about how sweet eighteen Ashley lived her life than Kimberly.It's a little spin-off and introduction to Ashley's feelings.And yes, this book is gradually coming to an end and Happy Ending is assured.Do well to stick to your seat until we are done.Again, thank you so much for the massive views, votes and follows. I truly appreciate and I hope you enjo
[KIMBERLY]"Mum, you have been making me happy these past few days. I'm so happy." Ashley commented as we returned back to her bedroom with shopping bags in our hands."It's nothing, baby. Mum will get you whatever you want in this world." I exaggerated in excitement and she chuckled."I know that, mum, because you love me best." Andrea took the bags from her as she planted a soft kiss on my cheek."If you keep doing this, I won't let you get married forever." I teased and we burst into laughter."I'm fine with that." We entered her bedroom and sat on the bed, a smile had already taken charge of our face."I just want to stay like this with you, dad, aunt Andrea and Drake most especially." I cupped her hands into mine and squeezed out a warm smile."We will definitely stay together, forever, baby." I assured her."But you don't need to stay single for that to happen. You need to love and also build your own empire." I began, as my eyes swayed away from her."The love of your life, you
[ASHMAN] “I told you to take precautions, didn’t I?” I screamed at his face in anger, he swallowed hard while avoiding my gaze.“I did, my lord.” Axel began.“I had to go through the list twice before I sent the invitation out.” he said vividly, nodding his head with certainty and I sighed heavily.“Then how did he come in without our notice or permission?” I rubbed my chin while thinking deep.“I feel there is something fishy about this Alpha Wex, he seems to have so many skeletons in his closet.” Axel assumed.“I need you to return to my cyber room and inform the leader. I want a full background check of that guy before I return back to the city.” I instructed him seriously and he bowed.“Yes, my lord. I will be on it.” he said.“Any other report that I missed?” I raised a brow, he stopped halfway by the door before walking back to me. I stood up from the seat.“Lady Kim has the pack under control, there is nothing to be afraid of.” he assured me.“And Ashely? How is her health? I
[KIMBERLY]ONE YEAR LATER[KIMBERLY]"I really don't believe him. Why was he arrogant at first? I already despise him now, I'm sorry." I batted my lashes as I walked away from Ashman, he followed me. I leaned on the edge of the window, he wrapped my waist with his stout arms."He has already agreed to wait and change. He will wait until our daughter is eighteen and we accept him." He said softly so close to my ear, I smirked."Talking about ages .." I turned to him."When do you plan to bring Drake back? It's been more than twelve years now, Ash." I paused sadly."I know he isn't our real child but he is still someone I care about dearly." I explained to him meticulously."I will tell you the truth babe." He pulled his hands away from my waist and held my hands. We locked gazes, staring at each other."Drake is on a mission. Since I knew he was the only one that could take over my position rather than Ash, I had to send him somewhere." He began.I became anxious and interested to know
[ASHMAN]“Forgive me, I failed to introduce myself.” He began.“I’m Alpha Wex, the new leader of Oasis Dawn pack.” he said sternly, for a young man he was too proud which irritated me.“Oasis Dawn pack?” I exchanged weird stares with Kimberly who also looked confused and speechless.We have never heard of such a pack, not as though we have signed any request form that has to do with the new pack establishment.“Do I have the right to propose to your daughter? He curled his lips, asking disdainfully.“No.” Ashley’s voice resonated in the atmosphere, we turned to her.“I’m not getting married to you, Wex.” She strongly disagreed.“Baby…” Kimberly tried to hold her back but she refused.“He is my course mate in the university and also a bully. He is one of those guys I despise so much. I can’t get married to him!” she rebuked in anger.“Do you have a say in this matter, Ash?” he scorned her mockingly and she rolled her eyes in disgust.“I’m never going to marry you!” she pointed a finger
