Ashina sat on her bed humming to one of the famous folklore songs in Sussex pack. Hrolf had said he would be coming here probably at dusk and she was waiting for him. She was going to give him the worst punishment for killing her father. It was amusing that he thought she would fall in love with him after what he had done. Ashina could still remember how he had glared at her when she was caught at the boundaries between the white moon pack and Sussex pack, his gaze held so much hatred that made her wonder if the cause was because of her father who he had killed. How was she going to know if Hrolf intended doing the same thing to her but he was coming under the guise of love? She wondered.Ashina stood up abruptly, pacing up and down the room, although she was uncertain about all that was happening, she could feel her heart twitch when she thought of killing Hrolf and it made her regret having an atom of feeling for him. He was someone who didn't deserve her. He didn't deserve her lov
Hrolf was at a loss at what to do,he didn't want to let Ashina go back to her room when he had already promised her that he was going to take her to his favorite spot. He glared at Erik who stiffened before averting his gaze to the ground. but still he had a duty to the pack. "You can go," Ashina muttered behind him, nudging him slightly on the back. Hrolf turned to look at Erik angrily before turning back to Ashina."All you have to do is tell me not to go and I will stay by you," Hrolf said to her. Ashina pouted her lips before turning back to look at Hrolf.Erik, who was watching the couple before him, smacked his head. He had just wanted to inform Hrolf that he was needed at the meeting room and instead he had been fed dog food."Go away, I will be waiting for you," Ashina said to Hrolf with a smile on her face. Hrolf inhaled sharply before walking toward Erik. He gripped Erik neck tight with his hands pulling him alongside him. "Alpha,you are hurting me," Erik protested bitterl
Cassie gulped in her spittle as she walked out of the meeting room. Hrolf's warning sounded in her ear, making her frown slightly. She didn't want to believe that he was suspecting her of the guards' death, although she knew that she was part of it. She gritted her teeth when she thought of how Ramon had pierced his claws through the guard's heart and how shocked the guard had been. He wasn't expecting it but Cassie was elated. The guard had thought that he would be able to have his cake and eat it. She sneered. Now, she had the puppet she needed, she had someone who was inside the palace and was ready to do whatever she wanted her to do and also, she had Ramon who was starting to accept her as his mate. But all she wanted was someone who she was going to use. So foolish of him to think that she will love him after how much he had hurt and put her through. Ramon had rejected her as his mate even when she had pleaded with him not to do that. She watched Hrolf and Erik walk away befo
The stranger tried getting up when he noticed that Cassie had released her claws but he yelped out when Cassie picked up a wood with her mouth and stabbed it into her shoulder. "Ahhhhh, you shouldn't have done that," he said angrily to her but he couldn't do anything. " Aaaaaooooooo," Cassie growled angrily before reverting to her human form. The stranger who was pinned under her stared at her with his mouth wide open. She was beautiful. " You aren't stupid, turn around," Cassie ordered before getting up.The stranger ogled at her before standing up and turning his back against her. Cassie walked toward where her clothes were and placed them on before walking seductively toward the stranger. "What did you say about the person you have in custody?" She asked the stranger who jolted when she touched his shoulder. "Hmph," he cleared his throat before taking a glance at Cassie. He noticed that she was dressed already. If he hadn't seen her change into a wolf himself, he would hav
Cassie smiled in satisfaction when she saw what she had done with Ramon. She felt a certain kind of accomplishment that she never knew was possible. It had been a while since she was drenched in so much blood and it made her want more.She stood naked gazing at Ramon who was digging his claws into the last body, her body was stained with blood and she smiled weirdly when her finger grazed on it. She dipped her finger which had a blood stain on it into her mouth moaning as the silvery taste hit her taste bud.She wanted more and she felt like ravishing more people but she knew that wasn't going to be possible because there was no one else here aside from Ramon."That's bad,'' she muttered to herself before walking back to put on her clothes. Ramon, who was still in his Lycan state, frowned when he saw that Cassie was going to put on her clothes, she was a sight to behold without clothes on and he wanted to see her in that state much longer. "Don't," he whispered behind her, making Ca
" Where are they?" Zeeb asked impatiently. He packed up and down the room waiting for the soldiers that he had sent to the white moon pack a while ago. They had one instruction and that was to get Ashina here, he needed to capture her, ever since he got back from the moon reader he hasn't been the same. The prophecy about the ultimate wolf coming from him and Ashina kept going through his head and he didn't want to waste any more time. He couldn't afford to do that. "Alpha, I think that you should calm down, the spy will be here soon and we will get good reports on how it went," his beta advised him." Do not tell me to calm down, do not tell me to calm down, it has been days, days and you haven't given me a good report, when are you going to do that then? Why do I have only incompetent fools around me?" Zeeb flared up at his Beta who had his head averted to the ground. Zeeb wasn't someone who liked to be stopped in whatever he was doing. He hated it so everyone made sure that they
His eyes were red and they stung till he could feel tears threatening to slip down but he couldn't allow them. He wasn't just anyone, he was Zeeb the Alpha of the Sussex pack and he wasn't one to back down in the middle of a fight. "Can you tell me how six of my men were killed just like that? They were part of our best men, weren't they?" Zeeb asked the men in the meeting room who nodded. " Can someone give me an explanation of what happened to them? This note," Zeeb raised the paper he was holding up high before shoving it into the burning flame. "What we wanted was Ashina, just Ashina and they were given a simple instruction, if they do not see Ashina tell them to bring me the Beta but still they couldn't, you all deserve death since they were that incompetent," Zeeb spat out harshly. " You," he pointed at the spy who was fidgeting, he didn't want to end up on Zeeb's wrong side. He couldn't afford it because his family's life and his were at risk if he did."Alpha,'' he answere
Ashina gazed up at the ceiling intensely, it was another day and she didn't know how she was going to face Hrolf. Especially after he was waiting to get a reply from her. She was beginning to have second thoughts about what she was going to do, although she hated Hrolf, Gael was like a son to her and she didn't know what he might come to think about her when he comes to find out later on that she was the one who made him fatherless,"Arrrgh," she shrugged in frustration, everything was tiring to her and she didn't know what else to do at this point. All she knew was that she was going to give Hrolf his cup of tea. Hrolf had made her fatherless and she was going to hurt him in every way possible, she wasn't going to exert mercy, and hopefully, when the time comes for Gael to know what had happened to his father, she would have been out of the pack already. "Yes, that was the right thing to do." She muttered to herself. "Hrolf, you should be ready to get whatever is coming to you," s
"Helena" Ashina screamed out loud with a hand placed on her chest when she tripped on the floor. "Shush" Gael carried her up, patting her gently on the back, Ashina let out a sigh of relief when she saw Gael patting her gently. "Mother, she is fine, you do not have to worry about her" he said to her with a smile on his face.Ashina nodded at him before walking forward with her bulging stomach, a hand around her waist.Hrolf had been so scared when she had given birth to Helena so he had told her that he didn't want any more children and that Gael and Helena were enough but somehow, he had ended up getting her pregnant. She could remember the reaction he had when he found out what he had done and had apologized profusely for making her go through pain again but Ashina had dissuaded him, letting him know that it was fine."Mother," Helena called out to her with misty eyes, while stretching both of her hands out but Gael held her firmly. "You wouldn't want to hurt Mother now, would y
Hrolf stood with sweaty palms and his heart beating fast when he gazed at himself in the mirror. It looked just like a dream which he didn't want to wake up from.The door was pushed open slightly and Gravon walked in, staring at Hrolf, he placed a hand over his mouth, a smile on his face "You look..." his gaze wandered over Hrolf as he tried to find the right word to say. "You look handsome" he finally managed to say, while walking toward Hrolf. " Thank you" Hrolf patted both of his hands together trying to think properly. This was a lot but knowing that Ashina was the one who he would be walking down the aisle with was worth it.Letting out a sigh from his lips, he turned around, meeting Gravon's gaze. "Is everything ready?" He asked again, making Gravon roll his eyes at him. "All preparations have been made, Alphas from different packs are seated already, you aren't having cold feet, are you?" Gravon asked, wanting to be sure because Hrolf was acting in such an awkward way tha
The cheering of the crowd as Cassie and Erik was brought in, pierced through Hrolf's chest as he tried to think, faced with a lot of uncertainty and the fact that he had to mete out judgment on them. Clutching the arm of his chair tightly, he turned his head around to see Ashina gazing straight at Erik, with a blank look on her face."Are you okay?" He asked her, her face was pale and recently, she had been under a lot of pressure with merging her pack with his. Smiling back at him Ashina nodded at him, showing him that she was okay.She placed a hand over her mouth, trying as hard as she could not to gag. "Are you sure you are okay?" Hrolf asked again, with concern on his face. He was ready to pass out judgment next time if she wasn't okay. "I am fine" Ashina repeated, her voice firm and strong, she flipped her head to the side where Cassie was glaring at her but she couldn't care less."The people await your judgment" Hrolf let out a sigh as he stood up from the chair that he w
"You got to be joking" Hrolf said to Gravon who gazed at him. If there was something he loved doing, it was ruffling his emotions and he loved that look on his face that showed that he was tense."She is okay, but.." he pulled Hrolf with him to the side. Taking a look at the old man at intervals. "Do you think handing her over to the old man is the right thing?" He wanted to know. " Gravon" Hrolf placed a hand on his shoulder, " Someone has to put her down, she has to pay for all of the numerous things that she had done and I do not want to be the one who will do that for her,"Gravon nodded agreeing with what he had just said but still," Wouldn't you be affected? We grew up together and besides, she is Gael's mother,"" I have made my decision and I am not going back on my word," Hrolf said firmly, not wanting to repeat himself anymore. Letting out a sigh, Gravon pondered on what was happening. If this was what he thought was best, he was going to go along with it. "Take him al
Although it had taken a lot of convincing, Ashina knew that she would have gone with Hrolf even if he hadn't done so much, with how much she missed Gael and how she wanted to be by his side, she would have gone with him.With one hand wrapped around her waist, he kissed her gently on the cheek before yanking on the reins of the horse to move. Picking up the chase and running through the thick forest, Xeva, Hrolf's horse drove like lightning through the thick bushes.Ashina had talked to her pack members and the elders, letting them know that she would be back soon, after settling whatever it was that she had to do at the white moon pack. And at almost dusk, Gravon's men, who he had placed at the boundary of both packs, waved earnestly, cheering him happily. Hrolf flashed a smile at them before donning a blank look as Xeva ran toward the pack house and at every pace it took, Ashina's heart beat faster than the last. Knowing that she was coming back here evoked nostalgic feelings in
Hrolf caressed Ashina's hair gently which was sprawled out, her chest heaved up and down, showing that she was fast asleep.Stroking her hair gently, he let out a sigh of relief, he was sure that they were back to how they were before and he was ready to do right by her. Exhaling sharply, he stood up gently, placing Ashina on the bed before standing upright. He had intended to saunter toward the window when he felt a hand wrapped around his wrist. Turning back, he flashed Ashina a smile."Where are you going?" Ashina asked, trying to sit upright, when she finally did, she ran her gaze at Hrolf who was naked, making her gulp in her spittle. Although they had gone on and on, she still found herself wanting him. Again."I guess I didn't do a nice job there" Hrolf's gaze darkened as he walked back toward the bed, taking in Ashina's appearance as he walked closer. Her hair cascaded down giving her ample coverage over her perfect boobs, licking his lips, he thought of how they had fitte
Ashina pulled open the door to her room gently before stepping in, running a finger on the chain lying by the side of the bed, she shut her eyes, before flicking them open, it had happened in the blink of an eye. From being recaptured to being chained to her bed and Hrolf barging into the pack to rescue her, finding out he had been in cahoot with Zeeb from the onset and then Zeeb's death. She would have argued blindly with anyone who had said Erik was betraying Hrolf because she knew that he wasn't like that but this has taught her a lesson. To vouch for who she knew very well. She had been betrayed also even when all she had done was being kind and she could understand the turmoil Hrolf was in, he was trying to be strong, losing both Cassie and Erik at the same time but he had no other choice.Standing up she sauntered across the room, toward the window, it was dusk already, and now, she had gotten back her pack. She was the rightful heir of the Sussex pack and now it was in her h
Erik grunted lowly when he was forced to stand up, with his head pressed against the wall, Ashina had walked away, intending to address her pack. She felt relieved at the fact that the pack had been handed over to her and this time, she was going to do whatever it takes just to make sure that nothing happens to her people. Hrolf stood by the side watching with admiration at how vocal she was with letting everyone know about her intention, she wasn't avoiding any questions that were being thrown at her and he was glad to see her do that. Ashina could feel a heated gaze behind her and she knew who it was, there was just a man who was capable of stripping her naked with just his gaze. Hrolf. And this time, she was going to make sure that he didn't have it the easy way. She was going to make him plead for a long time before accepting his apology even when it didn't look genuine. The cheers of the pack members caused a smile on her face as she glanced at them, knowing that she was thi
Waves of emotions swept through Hrolf who was contemplating what he had just heard, although he knew that Cassie had done a lot and angered a lot of people still, he was trying to think of a better punishment. "What do you intend to do to you?" He asked although he knew what it was. Ashina glared at him. "He wasn't seriously thinking of saving her now, was he?" She wondered, she hoped that he wasn't going to do that. If he wanted her, he had to show that he wanted her in his life and the first thing was to hand Cassie over. "That isn't yours to find out, Alpha Hrolf, I have heard of your splendid deed and I must tell you that I am mesmerized by your deeds, unlike my son here" he gestured at Zeeb. " Although I wasn't any better than him, days alone in that dungeon taught me a lot of things and when I found out that Ramon was dead" he shut his eyes as though he was honoring his dead son's image before flicking them open. " It shattered my life, Ramon was the apple of my eye, my hei
