AshleyYou can do this, you can do this, you can do this. I kept murmuring to myself as the day we have all been waiting for finally arrives. I was still packing my backpack for the trip and a little part of me was advising me to run away.It's been two weeks still since I started living with Alex and today had been set aside as the start of the initiation process.Alex has so far taught me how to defend myself, how to use a bow and arrow, and how to survive on my own should in case anything happens out there.I honestly feel I do not have what it takes to pull this through but with encouragement from Grace and Alex, I am willing to give it a try.Alex had assured me that I should not be scared of anything as his best friend would be going with me on the journey.Now that is where another of my fear creeps from, everyone here knows that Jessica wants to be Luna and that she is not happy that Alex didn't pick her for the position. How am I supposed to feel protected by someone who fe
AshleyMy face was hurting badly from the slap I just received from Jessica and hot tears gather up in my eyes. But I was quick to blink the tears away because I didn't want her to see me as a weak girl, even though, I was at that moment. I was yet to fully recover after I had donated two pints of blood at the pack's clinic yesterday night. I didn't want them to be short of the healing tonic before I return.I have not had an opportunity to do so since I started living with Alex. Grace was already out of the blood and needed to make the healing portions for a few soldiers that were attacked by rogues.Alex was always with me whenever I visited the clinic ever since I started living with him. But, yesterday he left me with Grace for some hours and that is how I was able to donate the blood.Even though Grace had kicked against it because I was going on this journey, I insisted as I was not so sure that I was going to come back to the pack alive.And secondly, someone important to me
AshleyThe rogues were super fast and if I were to give in to their super speed capability, I will be probably dead by now.But if they think they are going to get a free meal without first working for it then, they are in for a shocker.The rogues were gaining fast on me which made me start pushing my arms back and forth, jumping over fallen trees, dodging insects, and pumping my legs as fast as they could go.I guess the saying it's true that no matter how much you think you have failed, when faced with death, then the will to survive becomes even stronger.I ran and kept running till the trees passed me as flashes, and the steady galloping sound of the rogues is heard around me.It was almost as if they were everywhere.My backpack was seriously weighing me down and at some point, I wanted to take it off, but when I thought of how stranded I will be, I changed my mind and continued running with my bag still strapped to my back.I knew I had to try to get as far away from them as I
Ashley I woke up the next morning and found myself back at the pack, I looked around me and wondered how I got back there.The atmosphere was usually calm and freezing for me as I walked around.After some time, I noticed a large group of pack members gathering outside the packhouse. I wondered what was happening as I moved toward the crowd. Their attention seems to be focused on something or someone.On getting there, I saw that it was indeed someone they were staring at. Not just anyone, it was me.I saw another version of myself kneeling in front of everyone back at the pack. I was nicely dressed, even though part of the dress had torn at the edge.My face had turned red due to the number of tears I have shed.Beside me was a sword draped in blood, I wonder whose blood it was, as I looked around confused about what was happening.The crown on my head was snatched by an unknown hand. I was been accused of something I knew nothing of, I felt I could free myself from the false accusa
AshleyAfter roaming the forest for over five to six hours, I was beginning to doubt that there was any river out there.The sun was showing its distinct qualities to planet earth as if it was auditioning for the job of melting people alive.The heat and the sun made the experience even more annoying.I was so exhausted, that I staggered to get to a nearby tree to relax, I pulled out a water bottle from my bag and gulped down the remaining content.I have trekked so much, and am still unable to get to the river. The bad part is I don't even know where I am at the moment.I don't know where I am and don't know where I am headed, I might as well build a shelter for myself here because I don't think I can ever make it out of this place.The gentle breeze that caressed my skin as I sat under the tree shield made me feel asleep as my eyelids were becoming very heavy to carry.But, While I was still struggling to stay awake, I saw the she-wolf from last night.The one that came before the r
Ashley I woke up early the next to prepare to return to the pack, Jessica was already up and ready.The fact that she stayed up all night to watch guard melted my heart a bit.“Good morning” Jessica greeted me with a smile as soon as she saw me open my eyes.“Good morning” I replied stretching and yawning at the same time. I had slept peacefully like a child even though I wanted to be awake most of the night to ensure that I don't get killed in my sleep.As much as I want to believe that Jessica was back for good, I couldn't help the not-so-comfortable feeling I had around her even though I am more than willing to give her a second chance.We soon began our journey back home as she continually made attempts to engage me in conversions.I attempted answering of her questions and laugh at some of her jokes at one point or the other.The journey was almost completely flawless, but that was until we met an old woman who wanted us to give her the plant I was carrying in exchange for what
Jessica I could feel Derrick's disappointed stares as soon as the slave girl and I stepped our foot into the pack.All the while the pack members were gathering and cheering me up, my thoughts were how to convince Derrick to work with my new plan without going behind me to get ashley killed.All through my way back from the journey, I had thought about killing the slave girl, but I kicked against it knowing fully well that all fingers would point at me.If I am going to be the pack luna, they must trust me enough to be able to occupy that Luna seat, or else they could revoltAs soon as the people started going back to their various homes to get ready for the mating ceremony, I sneaked into Derrick's apartment to have a private chat with him.Luckily he was alone as his servants have all gone out to join the other slaves to prepare for the night. He was furious as expected as he stares at me angrily.“I came to explain myself to you,” I said quietly and waited for him to permit me to
AlexanderOf everyone to come to this party tonight, the person I least expected to see is Janet.Janet is an ex of mine who decided on her own to travel outside the country without prior notice.She was my first-ever girlfriend or should I say fuck mate. I met her at a club uptown where she worked as a stripper and she was super hot.A little too hot for her good.So we got talking and one thing lead to the other and the next thing I knew was that she bounced her big ass up and down on my hard te cock.I have not seen her for close to two years, only for her to show up unexpectedly tonight. I had initially wanted to just ignore her but knowing very well how crazy she can be, I do not want her to cause any trouble for Ashley that's why I decided to speak with her.But little did I know that our conversation would take so long, that by the time I was done with her, I couldn't find Ashley.I looked around the party all to no avail, till I saw Jessica who told me that she saw Ashley cry
Alexander.It's been a week since the death of Derrick, and he has been buried accordingly. Pack members who ran away are gradually coming back, and the pack is slowly rebuilding itself.Today I will be officially addressing the pack members for the first time since I came back. to reassure them that the pack was once again safe and that it would be for a long time.I have started training a new set of warriors, and those warriors that were slaughtered by Derrick will have a monument built in their honor.Their children and the spouses they left behind would be duly provided for and cared for by the royal house.Olivia has decided she is to live with Ashley and me till she is eighteen and has asked us to get her adopted.Also, Kai will be going back to his pack today after the meeting. He had previously asked me to pardon Jessica for her crimes as his payment for helping me out in a time of need.Hopefully, she turns into a better person for him and they both find happiness in each ot
Alexander.I got back to the room to see that Ashley was still sleeping. I quietly walked into the bathroom to freshen up before joining her on the bed."Good morning," I said when I noticed her eyes were partially open."Good morning," she said as she stretched nicely on the bed with her two erected nipples poking out of her newly bought silk nightwear.I leaned in to kiss her on her lips, but she stylishly turned her face away, and I ended up kissing her cheeks.She was about to get up when I gently pulled her hand back into bed."Ashley, we need to talk," I said to her.She looked away, like someone that had so many reservations bottled up within her but was afraid of letting them out."Something has been bothering you and you are not talking to me. I want to share in your burden, whatever it may be. Because I can't bear to see you sad, my first job as king is to ensure that you, my luna, are happy. Did I do anything wrong? I promise I will make adjustments, please, "I said in a ca
KaiHave you ever found yourself struggling with a decision you have made or are about to make?I know it may seem that my decision to demote Jessica may seem a bit too harsh, but trust me, I know what I am doing. At least, I believe I do.Jessica is very proud and arrogant. For her to become my luna, she has to first taste what it is like to be nothing.Because the people that make up my pack are people that were either rejected or bullied by their previous pack.Also, she needs to realize that there is a tough price to be paid for every decision that one takes.Honestly, I do not hate her, and if anything, I love her more than words can express, and it is my love for her that is pushing me to try to make her into a better person.And I will make sure she realizes the importance of friendship, love, and family. I also know that she has had her fair share of bad decisions. My job is to ensure that she respects everyone she comes in contact with, because the person you are seeing down
Three days later.Alexander."Have you decided yet what to do with Derrick?" Kai asked me during our morning workout.The movement that Ashley heard the other night while in the woods was that of Kai and his men. He said he got worried after waiting tirelessly for me to return, and when I didn't, he mobilized his men to come to look for me, because he felt I was in some sort of trouble.It's been three days since we came back home, and up till now, I have yet to decide what to do with Derrick.The truth is that I have been thinking about how to address Derrick's issue, as it is very delicate.Even though I know very well that for all the atrocities he has committed, death should be the only option available on the table.But at the same time, I can't just get past the fact that hurting Derrick indirectly means hurting Olivia.He may have been a monster to us all, but he is still her father. Will she ever forgive me by the time she is grown up and gets to
Alexander.We must have stared at each other for a few minutes before I tried to remind myself that I had things to say. Most of which I don't remember. You can't blame me. My wolf is going overboard with the excitement of seeing his mate.I thought of ways of starting the conversation so I don't piss her off, especially since I am yet to fully understand how her powers work.Don't get me wrong I am not scared of her, I am Alexander, and I am not scared of anyone, but it's just that I can't risk having someone throw up in the air like a little toy or balloon or whatever you can imagine."You are scared of our mate," my wolf said teasingly.Idiot."No, I am not," I snorted at him, after which I blocked him completely so he would not interfere in my conversation with Ashley.Talking with Ashley now is a bit different from before. I mean, I would have tried going close to her by now and maybe raised my voice a little, but now I have to tread with caution."Why did you run away?" I asked
Ashley."What do you mean? I don't understand," I asked in genuine confusion."I am sorry, but I am not who you think I am. My story is not something I love to share because it's not a very plantable one," she said as her eyes were beginning to cloud with unshed tears.I didn't even know what to say or how to react to the things she was saying but seeing her hurting so much made my heart ache.This is a different version of the Grace I used to know back at the pack. She used to be so full of life and bubbling that even I felt motivated by her energy."If you feel talking about it would make you feel better, then why not let it out? We have all night out here," I calmly said to her.She looked at me as if examining me to see if I could take what she was about to say, and I nodded gently to her, urging her to proceed with whatever was weighing her down."My real name is Kiara. You won't have heard of the name because it's a name nobody remembers. A long time ago, my ancestors did some
Alexander.We were so close to capturing Derrick when I first noticed the heavy whirlwind that was heading toward the pack house. From where Kai and I were fighting, we could see the wind picking up everything and everyone in its path.The wind also scared some of the rogues that were fighting with us, as they scampered away for fear of being hit by the wind.The wind appeared to have picked up some of the rogues and Kai warriors as they kept groaning and screaming.Kai gestures to me, demanding to know what I think we should do.I needed no one to tell me who was behind the storm that was not heading toward the packhouse, as my mind reflected on what Jason had told me about Ashley's powers.I wondered what was prompting her actions now. Is she joining Jason's pack to fight against us? I pondered as I found myself a little confused.I turned to Kai and told him to try and get Derrick arrested since we had succeeded in killing almost all of his bodyguards.He nodded in agreement, after
Ashley"Ashley, Ashley"I heard Olivia call out to me. I woke up in a panic to see that I had fallen asleep on the floor."Olivia, how are you feeling?" I asked as I was excited to see that she was doing better."I'm doing great, thank you," she said, and I must admit, for a moment there, her voice sounded like music to my ears.I reached out to her to check her body and saw that her injury was almost healed up as there was just a little scratch on the surface.I couldn't tell how long I had been sleeping but was glad that we were safe."Where is the baby?" Olivia asked, as she frantically looked around the woods.Her question made me remember that Andre was with me earlier. I panicked as I quickly got up and searched around for the baby.I went searching in the nearby woods to see if he had somehow magically crawled there.But there was no sign of the baby. I was about to scream my head off when I saw the brown she-wolf carrying the baby.She looked like someone in pain, as her moveme
AlexanderHearing Jason tell me things about Ashley that I never knew about broke my heart. It made me question everything, including the way I felt towards her if indeed she was my true mate.I would never have imagined that Ashley would want to shut some aspect of her life away from me.Was I too much in a hurry to claim her as my mate, or did I mistake my lust for her as love?But, even if my human nature was wrong, can my wolf be wrong too? I remember him calling her mate on the night of the luna initiation.Did I make a mistake in marking her?I pondered because I could not just imagine why she could keep such an important aspect of her life a secret from me.She is our mate I heard my wolf say from within me.But his words were not so soothing as I could feel my heart break into a million pieces.And as if the clouds could echo my emotions, the clouds started gathering, and soon the heavens opened and there began a heavy downpour.The rain sent everyone in the field into hiding,
