*Skylar’s POV*

I couldn't bring myself to break the news to My Parents when I got home. I thought about a number of things I could do to avoid the situation __run away from home for a few days. I had never done that before and I wasn't sure I had the courage to even do it. Pretend to be sick. The truth was still going to come out eventually. Ash Damon had promised to speak to them himself and I couldn't be more grateful. I had planned to tell them over Dinner but all I had to do now was inform them that Ash Damon requested a meeting with them which was easier to do.

“Are you alright Sweetheart?”.My Mum asked, staring at me.

“Yes Mum. School was quite stressful this week. So many things happened that were quite exhausting. I'm just glad that it's the weekend already, at least I'll get to rest well enough”,I replied.

“Welldone Love. You're doing so well and I'm sure all your hardwork will pay off in the nearest future. Just keep at it”,My Dad said, with a warm smile on his face.

    Sage's POVLife has been so chaotic recently. Everything felt forced and overwhelming. I was beginning to realise that my feelings for Cassie were wearing off gradually, and I was quite grateful for that. I'd rather remain single than be with someone like Cassie long-term. Ash was celebrating his birthday today, and for strange reasons, both Ash and Skylar had reached out to me to ask if I would love to attend. I felt it was a plan for them to spite Cassie in a way because I saw no other reason why they would want me around. I knew Cassie was going to be really furious when she found out, but this was an opportunity for me to see him, as it had been difficult for me to get any information about him that I could give to Richard. Since he was suspended from school, I didn't have any alternative way to access him.I reached out to Him online a few times, though, to check up on Him and know how he was faring, and he was quite nice in his response.“Happy Birthday to you, outcast”, I said p

  • The Badboy Bully Is My Alpha Mate   Coming clean

    *Ash's POV*I was turning 20 in a few days, and this wasn't what I had planned for my 20th year. I was being suspended from school, having an obsessed ex, being followed around by bodyguards, and not having my privacy outside the house. I sat in my room and thought about how things had changed drastically in a short while and how my life could have been different if certain things hadn't happened to me. Being at home and spending so much time alone had made me realize how lonely and empty I'd felt for an extended period; I was so busy with school and other activities that I didn't even get to notice. The only person that brought me happiness and comfort at the moment was Skylar, and we didn't get to see as we used to; I missed her so much and longed to be with her. These were periods in my life where I began to wish my Mum was still alive or at least I had other siblings rather than being an only child; maybe things might have been quite different. Recently, My Dad tried to be more av

    *Ash's POV*I wanted to believe what I had just heard,but I was too dumbfounded to even process the information. I was blindsided,my mind was striving to handle the magnitude of what had just been revealed to me. I sat there,staring at my Dad who at this time had moved closer to where I was seated. “Has my whole life been a lie?. What else did he keep from me all these years?”. I thought to myself.“That's a lie. Right?”,I asked in curiosity after a while.“I wish it was”, he replied with a straight face.“What do you mean Dad?. Where is she?. How come she never reached out to know how I've been. Why did you keep it from me for so long?”. I asked rhetorically,pacing frantically around the room. “Son,everything I have done regarding this issue from when it happened till now was for your own good”. He replied, with a note of frustration in his tone.“You can't make that decision for me. What do you even know is best for me? All these years,I've lived without a mother figure in my life

    *sage's POV*I was going to see Richard tomorrow, and I still did not have any tangible information for Him. Ever since I had that conversation with Ash, I started feeling empathy towards him. We started chatting more often compared to the past when we could barely even stand each other’s presence. He had changed a whole lot, and I loved that for Him. My relationship with Cassie was casually hitting rock bottom; our fights and arguments were more frequent, and I no longer cared about trying to make things work between us. I knew we would break up soon, but I didn't know how soon. I had to devise something reasonable to tell Richard and also make sure he didn't find out that I was beginning to talk to Ash often.It was a beautiful Saturday evening; I had just finished having dinner with my family. I sat outside trying to figure out the excuse I would give Richard the next day when I heard my phone ringing. It was Cassie.“Hello?” She greeted from the other end of the line. “Hey, Cassi

    *Ash's POV*Ever since I got the information about my mum being alive,I've literally been counting down till the day I finally get to see her. My Dad had eventually reached out to her and planned a day for her to come back to the city with my step brother, Luke. I didn't know how long she was going to be staying but I was just excited about meeting her. I wondered what she would look like now. I was also having thoughts on how it would feel like finally meeting a sibling, and if we were going to have any similarities or would be able to get along with each other.I could barely sleep all through the night. I kept tossing over on my bed and surfing the internet at intervals,pondering on how the day was going to turn out. I was going to be meeting my mum and step brother for the first time and I didn't know how well to prepare myself. For people who I'd never met in my life and who I felt cared less about me,I shouldn't be this bothered but I just could not be at peace__I doubt if they

    *Ash's POV*“I'm sorry. I had to reach out to Luke,he should have gotten here a while ago”. She said walking towards a sofa.“That's alright. I hope he's good?”. I asked in concern,not like I really cared much.“Yes He is. He'll be with us soon. Something came up that kind of delayed him”. She replied,setting her phone down and facing me. There was a brief pause. The silence was deafening. I knew it was time to be done with the formalities and have a real conversation.“How are you?”.She asked,looking into my eyes. I didn't know much about the nurturing aspect of a mother, but I could see the genuineness in her countenance.“I'm OK. Surviving”. I answered, smiling a bit.“Ash”.She started. “I want to apologize to you for having to grow up without me in your life”.“I turned out fine eventually as you can see”. I replied defensively. I didn't want her to talk to me like she was feeling some sort of pity towards me.“Of course you did but I still have to apologise to you. I'm sure your

I replied, trying to hide my sudden irritation.“Forgive me, I know it has something to do with colours.You look really good. Better than I had expected. Your Dad must really have a lot of money for you to be looking this good”.“Luke!. Cut it”. My mum shot at him with an angry look.“What Mum?,It's a compliment. I hope you didn't take offense in my remark, Ash?”. He asked,turning to face me.“Not at all. I'm used to hearing it so it's not a big deal”. I answered. I didn't like it when people felt everything about me was because my Dad was rich but I just had to pretend like I didn't take offense. I didn't want to start our first meeting on a wrong note.“You see”. He said,looking at my Mum and walking over to the kitchen cabinet.

I added, smiling a bit.“You are welcome Ma'am”. One of the bodyguards greeted, facing my Mum.“Thank you. The house is really lovely”. My mum remarked.“Coming from you?,I appreciate that”.

  • The Badboy Bully Is My Alpha Mate   88

    Cassie's P.O.V.The days were lovely now, as I went to school and went about my daily life, knowing that I had my friends to call upon if anything went wrong. Sage had made me his personal mission. I knew that he was in love with me, but really, what he was doing at that moment was too much. He just kept on checking up on me, picking me up from work and stuff like that. At first, I thought that Luke would say something about it or probably even fight him for that, but Luke seemed to have made his peace with the gloomy romance between us, and I couldn't be more happy. A couple of times he even took me over to his house where we had a wonderful time. How would the time I spent with the very alpha of the park not be wonderful? But then we left each other not too long after that, and I continued with my life.Although Luke had let me have some fun with him, he forbade me from ever spending the night at Sage's place, like that was going to be even possible. I stayed a couple of nights, bu

  • The Badboy Bully Is My Alpha Mate   The final confrontation

    Ash's POVI wasn't exactly sure what to say, so I glanced at my friends, but from the looks in Luke's eyes, I knew that he was completely baffled by the situation. His eyes were hard, contrary to Sage, who looked soft and ready to give in at any moment."I can't believe we are even doing this," he said, his voice expressive as he stepped forward, his eyes flashing. "We shouldn't be bargaining with you; you are in no position to say anything at all.""Am I now?" he asked, his knife pressed a little more to her neck. I could tell that he was about to make a rash decision that would definitely cost him his life, but I was afraid of it costing Cassie's life also."Please," I said to Luke, putting my hand on him. I knew how much he loved his sister and didn't want her to die, so why was he actually acting like this? Luke glanced at Cassie, his eyes rigid as if trying to tell her something. His eyes were fixed on her, but he didn't see anything else, staying in his position with hardly any

  • The Badboy Bully Is My Alpha Mate   The hostage negotiation

    Ash POVWe all stayed rooted to the spot, except maybe for Sage behind me, who had taken a subconscious step back. Maybe it was a good idea for us to back away after all—maybe back away out of the room entirely so that I could give Sage a good pep talk and make him gather himself and understand what was actually at stake here.Weakness was the one thing that would actually cost Cassie her life, nothing more. If we played this right, from the position of strength that we actually were in, then we could get her back, though it wasn't certain if we could get Richard and bring him to book along with that; that would actually be asking for too much. One small mistake and our victory had turned into a break-even, or maybe a possible loss if we didn't play our cards right and made another small mistake to add to the former one.I looked at our opponent, the one that we had nearly defeated, for a couple of seconds and finally decided to at least talk with him. If he killed Cassie, then the en

    Luke's POVEverything was closing in on me, and I knew that it was too late for me to run away by now. My chance was gone. Looking at my opponent, who was now getting into the attack once more and covering all spaces for me to run into, I knew that he wouldn't let me go. He knew just what I could be thinking at this time, and he also knew that most likely I would try to run away. He was doing everything to prevent that, not wanting his prey to go.I knew that when he won this, he was going to put me along with Cassie and torment us for a very long period of time before killing us eventually. Yes, he had given me my chance to join him, not that I would ever do that, but I hadn't agreed to him, and now he was going to make me pay the price. I was pretty sure of it.I felt a certain feeling of discomfort, knowing how things were about to end, but still staying here anyway. I should be doing my best to run away and break free from his grasp, but I didn't do that for some reason. I just st

  • The Badboy Bully Is My Alpha Mate   Luke's fear

    Luke's POVIt was honestly very troubling how I was still struggling with Richard after such a long time, and how someone would have thought that by now I would be done with defeating him, especially after I had come to the brink of beating him so many times now. But for some reason, he was always bouncing back and staying up above water, to the point that I was actually pressured by him at times, and even now, I was still pressured. Honestly, I was starting to wonder whether there was something wrong with me, or whether we were just evenly matched. Every time I came to the brink, ready to defeat him, there was one small mistake, or one small thing that happened to make him come back again. And then we started the sequence all over again.It dawned on me now that I would not be able to defeat him, not today, not now. I wasn't strong enough. In fact, I would even be considered lucky to not be defeated by him myself. Remembering clearly how easily he had taken me on previously, I knew

  • The Badboy Bully Is My Alpha Mate   A sweet victory in sight

    Sage's povThe first thought that came to my mind after he said that was that this was simply too good to be true. I couldn't believe it even now. However, that was a fact. But if he was actually the one keeping Sage from coming here, then he was a true hero. He was the one doing much more work than us and our soldiers who brought the army to the gate and the fight from the outside, because he is definitely the one that brings the fight from the inside, which is the real fight.I looked at Ash, wanting to see how convinced he was. And from the looks of it, he seemed completely convinced by it. When I thought about it, I didn't see any other reason why this could be happening. For one thing, I hadn't heard from Luke at all, indicating that there was a good chance that he was busy. And the fact that, at the same time, Richard was nowhere to be found, made it a little too much to be a coincidence. Most likely, the two of them couldn't be here because they were busy with each other, fight

  • The Badboy Bully Is My Alpha Mate   The unexpected battle

    Sage's POVI didn't really know whether I was safe when I started easily winning the entire fight. It was not much of a battle anymore. If anything, it was starting to become something of a slaughter. I didn't see any reason why I would have it so easy fighting against the man that I was up against—the man who had been rumored to be far stronger than a lot of people and would be a very formidable enemy.I had heard that he was planning some tricks for me, and I also knew that he was skewed and poisoned because that's what I heard from the assassin the time we asked him about Richard. That was enough information to be wary of him, knowing that he could actually be planning something else entirely while we were busy here. But as it happened, maybe he was just all talk after all, and there was nothing to actually be fearful of. He seemed pretty tame to me right now, not at all a threat, no matter how I looked at it.In my planning, I decided to draw back a little and let my men do some o

    Ash's POV I join in and things get easy The progress was slow but steady. I knew that it wouldn't be long before we finally reached my territory. Then, I would have the opportunity to take back what was rightfully mine.I could almost see it happening already. As my soldiers marched forward, each with a certain determination in their eyes, I was sure we stood a huge chance of winning this. The moment I got to Richard, I would make sure to rip his eyes out and kill him for everything he had done, especially for killing my father. Until then, I had to make do with what I had and bide my time until everything was set.I had the patience to wait because I had been waiting for this moment all my life. So, even if it was just a couple more hours, I could wait again. It would end in my victory.Setting my eyes on the bigger prize, I kept moving, knowing it would be worth it. I was starting to get tired after marching for what seemed like forever. The soldiers, for their part, seemed much s

  • The Badboy Bully Is My Alpha Mate   The commander's gambit

    Sage's POVMy men started marching forward after I gave the order, each of them moving valiantly. These were pretty much all my forces because the ones I left to defend my home weren't too many anymore and wouldn't really account for much. In other words, if an attack actually started on my home while I was gone, then it would be pretty much defenseless against this attacker, and they would be able to do some large amount of damage to it.It was very precarious, but I knew that if I didn't take as many people as I could with me, then it was highly unlikely that we would win. I had no idea how many people Richard had with him, but I knew that he definitely had a lot of people with him, and that if I took only half of my army, it might not be enough, even when added to what Ash was bringing.I didn't want to take any chances on this because it was pretty much my only chance. If I was going to help, then I was going to help him completely and make sure that we won this. If we didn't win,
