(Ashley’s POV).Fast forward three weeks later, I sat on a table as I looked at the dress that Cindy and I had worked on for days in preparing for the final stage of the most anticipated design competition in Paris. I sighed of relief seeing the masterpiece placed on the life size mannequin.“What do you think, Teddy?” I asked my son who sat on my executive work chair with his legs folded in a seating position. Holding his teddy bear Kiko, he looked up and smiled at me.“More sparkles, Mommy” he smiled showing his cute little teeth. Then, he placed his little chubby hands on his chin as he studied the dress again, “Are you going to wear that? I don’t think Daddy would like it, Mommy”I chuckled and pinched his cheeks, “Mommy will wear whatever she wants and Daddy will have no say in it”“Daddy will burn the dress to the ground if Mommy dares to go out parading that piece of cloth” I looked at the door seeing Nikolai walked in the studio, frowning while looking at the dress. He gave m
(Nikolai’s POV).The day of the final stage of the competition has arrived. I sat next to my son, Teddy, as we watched one by one of the contestants presented their design with their models on stage. Not bad looking I would say.In the past, I would have totally slept with those sexy looking models. They were some who would bed me after I shower them with money. No strings attached. Simple.Those days of my one-night stand sex with random women were totally gone. I had turned into a monogamist. My eyes and heart were only for my Ashley, my Luna, my wife.We got married through a Werewolf ceremony almost a month ago and my life had never been better. Having her by my side when I woke up every morning was all I had wished for since the first day I laid eyes on her pretty blue eyes. I loved her with all my heart and soul.Our marriage was done with full Werewolf tradition. My mother had spent time teaching Ashley the ways of the Werewolf, preparing on what was coming soon in our life, w
(Ashley’s POV).A month later, I had another wedding.To be exact, it was indeed a dream wedding planned for me. Beautiful was an understatement. It was gorgeous and unbelievably fairy-tale like. I could not believe Nikolai would do all that for me. A dream wedding it was.The wedding was held at the Palace of Averna, as what my parents wanted. I was introduced back to the society as Princess Ashley. The name Tiana Winters was only used for business, no longer my name.A garden themed wedding with live music sounded simple but turned out magical. Sparkles, so many of them. Teddy had some involvement in making it colourful. His obsession with shining objects and sparkles were an influence to the wedding theme.I loved every inch of it. In fact, my little boy had even helped me to design my white wedding dress in such short notice. Crystal had helped us too. A Princess like dress that matched with my little crown.I was indeed over the moon and at some point of time, I thought I was dr
“Could you please hurry up?!” Ashley urged her royal tailor while tapping her feet on the ground.As the noblest princess of Averna, Ashley was going to marry Prince Philip tomorrow, the dream husband of countless girls.She still remembered how happy and excited she was when Philip proposed to her before others envy sights. They were in a relationship for many years and this was her dreamt moment. Yet somehow, Ashley only felt restless now.“Yes, your royal highness." The royal tailor said with a smile that was not reaching her eyes, "We are trying our best to fix the dress to your liking.”“I have been standing here for almost 3 hours while you fix your mistakes. Hurry up!” Ashley said her words with gritted teeth.Only God knows how hard she was holding back her tongue not to whisper a spell that would turn the tailor and her helpers into toads.As the royal blood, she was also a powerful witch. However, people in the Royal Palace were more afraid of her, than respectful.It was sa
“I’m sure Ashley did not mean it to slap me.”Ashley gasped loudly and opened her mouth to breathe. She never expected that Helen could be so shameless.How dare she play tricks just before her!Closing her eyes, Ashley felt anger burning in her chest. When she opened her eyes again, a hint of red circles was forming in her blue eyes.“Get your hands off her, Philip! She is lying!”“Ashley, honey. Don’t do this. Calm down.” Philip let go of Helen gently and walked towards Ashley to calm her down.Ashley's powers were getting out of control. If not handled properly, she would burn the whole room to ashes. She had done it before and became well-known for burning things out of anger.“Let go of me, Philip. Helen is lying. She was trying to drug me with that water. She was planning to take that chance to ruin me.” Ashley explained furiously while pointing her finger at Helen.“What are you saying, Ashley? I’m your best friend. I would never hurt you.” Helen acted so sincerely and pitifull
Alpha Nikolai never expected that a small business trip to Averna would yield him such a pleasant surprise.After searching for the past many years, he finally met her.His Mate. His Luna.The cold wind was making her body shiver. Her nose and her cheeks were starting to turn red. But, not as red as her luscious long and soft hair with the scent that was making him lose his mind.Looking at her intoxicating face, his inner wolf Blake, started growling with excitement.‘Take her, Nick. This is what we have been waiting for. Take her. Mark her as ours!’More than just tasting her lips, Nikolai wanted to taste all of her. But, not on the road in front of a hotel.‘Why was she just dressed lightly in this cold weather?’ He thought as he noticed her freezing in his arms.“Head to the nearby hospital." Picking up the woman, Nikolai demanded his loyal bodyguard Drake and walked towards a black limousine with tinted windows.“Hmm.. you smell so good.” Ashley whispered in his arms.“And you ar
As the ray of morning sunshine seeped through the window of the room, Ashley smiled while cuddling her own body beneath the soft comfort of the warm blanket.Her mind was going back to the day Philip proposed marriage to her, although many thought they were a bad match.But then, she recalled something that made her open her eyes slowly, “Today is my wedding day!”Looking around the unfamiliar room she was in, Ashley gasped. Moving her body slowly, she whispered to herself, “Where the f*ck am I?”Lifting the soft silky covers on her body, she gasped again seeing herself without any piece of clothes on her body. Her head started to pound from the inside as she tried to recall what happened.Then, she saw a ring on her finger.‘That’s not my engagement ring.’ She thought and stared at the gold ring carved with a symbol she was not familiar with.‘Damn! It is stuck.’ She thought while trying to remove the ring but failed to do so.Few seconds later, a memory came in. One by one.Tears fe
(Nikolai’s POV)“No deal! I will not submit to their demands.” I hung up the call after hearing what my enemies wanted in return for peace for my people. I threw my handphone towards my bodyguard Drake and ran my hand across my hair in frustration.“If it is war that they want, we will give them that!”Drake chuckled and raised his hands in the air showing defeat, “Oh mighty Alpha Nikolai. The feared Alpha from the North. Not even the Queen of the Supernatural beings would want to start a war with you.”Sensing Drake mocking me, I threw the cigarette on my fingers towards him that almost burnt his sweater, “Mock me again, I’ll throw your skinny self out from this balcony. Go get some fresh clothes and food for my woman. Make sure she is comfortable and well protected. I will clear this sh*t with the Queen of Averna myself.”If it is not for Drake’s experience in war and good fighting skills, I would not have hired him to be my bodyguard. A tall and skinny man but fast as lightning. Th
