[KIMBERLY]“My lady, you have a guest.” Owen announced it to me. He became my right hand person in terms of running the pack internal affairs.I shoved the ancient books I was going through before lifting my gaze at him.“And who is it?” Right now, the only place I could seek solace was reading, which helped me escape from reality because I haven’t heard from Ashman since he left the pack.No message, no spy, not even a signal.What bothered me most was that the day he left here, he looked shocked, scared and uneasy. I felt something was not right yet I couldn’t picture what could be it. The Ashman I know could overcome anything but for some reason, I felt cranky.“It’s Lord Nox.” he informed me, his voice breaking through my reverie and I sighed.“Is there any need to usher them in? I would love a stroll.” I said as I stood up from the chair and walk pass him.I met Nox at the courtyard, he was busy admiring the tulip flowers with Ashley bombarding him with questions as she always ha
[KIMBERLY]I rushed into the hospital like a woman in labor. Behind me was Axel and the others.All I wanted was solid evidence which I knew would never be possible.He wouldn’t die and leave me all alone in this damn world.I scanned each bed that passed the emergency ward before turning to Axel.“Where is he? Where the hell is my husband?” I asked him curtly, desperately staring at him.“You must be Mrs. Ashman.” A voice said from behind and I turned, she was standing adjacent to me.“Yes?” I answered rhetorically as she approached us.“I’m sorry again for your loss.” she shook my hand and I stared at her like though I didn’t know what she was saying.“Loss? What lost?” she gave me a confused stare but when she narrowed her gaze at Axel and the others, she seemed to become calm.“I will take you to your husband.” she said.That has been what I wanted and have been waiting for. The others waited at the lobby while I went into a hospital room with the doctor.I was anxious, I was brok
[KIMBERLY]She was seventeen so I assumed she would understand, she was the first I called into my study as soon as I returned from the hospital.She was holding a cheerful smile which made me contemplate whether to tell her the truth or not. But it would be disastrous if she heard it from someone else.“Mum, you have been gone for two days now. Did you go to meet daddy?” she raised a brow as she sat beside me.I squeezed out a smile and caressed her cheek softly.“My sweetheart. I left yesterday and not two days ago, did you miss me that much?” I said in sarcasm while raising my brow and she chuckled.“You know I miss you super much. But I miss dad more, when will he return with Drake?” she questioned anxiously, while staring at me and I thought it was the right time to tell her the truth.The worse was pain but aside that, it would relieve my guilty conscience.“I don’t know for Drake, I will keep in touch with his tutors but as for your dad, he isn't coming back.” I informed her se
[KIMBERLY]The Omegas dug the hole where their Alpha, Lord Ashman, would be laid. The other servants took care of the moody decoration in the pack and all through that period everyone must wear black to signify respect, pain and sorrow.I was wearing a black gown and staring at Ashman’s picture frame. He has been laid in the costly coffin though I couldn’t look at him any more, I made do with the picture frame.Fortunately, Ashley has settled down though she insisted on seeing Drake after the funeral.I sighed and whipped Ashman’s frame with the back of my hand.“It still feels surreal, you know.” I said through my sniffles, I couldn’t control the tears from rolling down my cheeks.“I can’t believe I will be leaving the rest of my life without you.” I cried bitterly before placing the frame on the table.Soon, someone knocked on the door and stepped in. I turned around and it was Andrea. I quickly whipped the tears off my face before staring at her.“Were you crying again, my lady?” s
BONUS CHAPTER: ANDREA“What is happening? Is this family cursed?”“Lord Ashman died a week ago and Lady Kimberly kicked the bucket.”“I feel so bad for their poor daughter, what would become of her?”“Don't you have anything better to do?” I shunned the servants curtly after hearing enough of their gossiping, they shivered in shock, bowed and left.I sighed heavily and turned to Axel who was behind me.“Any luck?” I raised a sly brow and he shook his head.“Ashley has been in a coma for two days now as a result of shock, and Lady Kimberly isn't responding to treatment. We need to think fast.” I said, looking petrified and confused.Aside from being the family maid, I knew nothing about leadership. All I did was take care of them, Axel unexpectedly became my protector.The elders are agitating about the Alpha position and Ashley wasn’t in her right state to take up such responsibility.No matter how we tried to keep Lady Kimberly’s health failure away from them, there are still unruly
[KIMBERLY]My head hurt really bad and my eyes felt so heavy.Was the past happening to me again? The whole sleeping and waking up in a wonderland.I wanted to return home. I missed Ashley. I wanted to mourn my husband satisfactorily.I begged the moon goddess inwardly because that was what I learned to believe in before I gradually opened my eyes.The place was strangely familiar, the scent taking charge of my nose and the chamber. A big smile spread on my lips at the sigh of Ashman’s picture hanging on the wall.“I’m back.” I said inwardly, still trying to control the excruciating pain I was feeling.“My lady!” a thin voice cried out and rushed over to me, I didn’t need to be told who it was because we have spent so many years together that I could guess her footstep.“Andrea.” she embraced me softly, sobbing on my shoulder and I stroked her back.“I thought you were never going to wake up. I was so afraid.” she said through her sniffles and I chuckled.“I will never leave you or my
[ASHMAN]2 HOURS BEFORE THE ACCIDENT…“You are about to enter the wrong car, you know that right?” he raised a brow at me, for some reason he looked strangely familiar.Almost around Drake’s age yet strong and intimidating.I was lured into coming to the wrong place and preparing for a fake battle, the person wanted my head and his plan was about to fall into place.“Why are you telling me this and who are you?” I asked anxiously while facing back again.It’s only a matter of time before my pursuers will get close to me. I wondered if he was their puppet to make me while away my time until they got here.“You don’t need to know my name because I can find you. Are you willing to accept my help?” he asked scornfully, he was so bold and disrespectful. If I was in a better position I would have given him a better slap.“What’s your gain?” I raised a brow anxiously, after all nothing good comes for free.“Your daughter, I want to marry her.” he said seriously and I was shocked.Wait. He kn
[KIMBERLY]“No. My child will never marry someone that she doesn’t love!” I disagreed with him.“Is this what you brought after coming out from the death trap? Why do you always bring issues whenever we are together.” I cried out pitifully and he shook his head.“Daddy, we miss you. Can you please stop joking with us?” Ashley tugged his shirt and he dragged it away from her hold.“I’m sorry, Ash. I had to sell your forever in order to keep my life.” he said, maintaining his posture with no expression on his face.I thought he had changed. An old beast will always be a beast, no matter how much time is spent on trying to tame it.“You are wrong.” I said boldly.“If this is going to happen, we will have to divorce.” I said seriously.“Kimberly Michael-Ville!” It has been a while since I heard him call me by my full name. He looked petrified and annoyed, staring at me in anger.“Don’t you dare, ever, think about that!” he threatened me in ire.“You also shouldn’t consider marrying my dau
[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
