(Nikolai’s POV).“As you can see she already made her choice. She would not go to an animal like you. A killer. Your hands are full of blood killing innocent lives out there for a war you and your father had started” Philip said with a wicked smile which he thought he was winning.“Shut the f*ck up! Do not mention my father, you weak Human” I said with gritted teeth and took a deep breath to calm my anger.I was not convinced that Ashley rejected me. She was just confused and I did not want to force her to choose me in such a situation. No doubt I was heart broken but I knew she still loves me.She just needed time and I would give her that.“Just go, Nikolai. Clearly, my grand daughter has made her choice” the Queen said calmly with her victory smile. I hated her. If it was not for Ashley, I would very much like to bite her neck off.“Fine. But, it does not mean I would give up on you, Ashley. I promised I would wait for you to accept me and I would do that even if I have to wait fo
(Ashley’s POV).I was under a lot of stress. A lot was going on my life that night. I did not even realise I had said those words out loud. I then took a glance at his very handsome face and frowned. He had no right to be jealous of Philip’s kiss on my lips. He had the same with Pamela!“Philip kissed me” I repeated my words which made him turn his body to the side to face me with a growl. “But, I did not kiss him back like.. like how you had shared a kiss with Pamela at my award celebration dinner or whenever you allowed her to kiss you in your live interviews. So, don’t you dare judge me”“What?” he asked and frowned at me as if I was speaking in a foreign language. I was speaking with him in the language of Averna which I knew quite well he was fluent in it.I thought I was the only one who was bad at acting.“Don’t pretend you don’t know what I was talking about. I know about your relationship with Pamela and it is just not as what you said.. nothing. I don’t know what you want f
(Nikolai’s POV).Her trembling lips felt warm and soft. I parted her soft cherry tasting lips gently and slipped my tongue in search for hers. Our tongues tangled and were in a little war of fighting for dominance.She moaned sweetly being out of breath and I love hearing her sweet voice in between our kisses. Pulling her waist closer to my body, I deepened my kiss while wrapping my arm to hold her body closer to mine. “Ashley, my sweet Ashley”For a moment, we were battling for dominance again and I could feel her pulling my shirt with one hand and her other hand placed gently on my cheeks. Her fingers moved to my hair and slipped to the back of my head.She wanted me, I could feel her wanting me as bad as I wanted her. Her scent was alluring and I could not get enough of her. I wanted more than just kissing her. I wanted all of her.“Nikolai” she whispered in between her soft moans as I moved to kiss her face and down to her neck. Such soft skin she had and I could feel her heart b
(Nikolai’s POV).“Have you fired a gun before, honey?” I asked and smiled with my eyes focused on driving the car out of danger. I then pressed a button in my car to call Ivan, Beta of my Wolf pack.“I’m a Witch, Nikolai. Why would I need a gun? It is so violent” she said while studying the gun from end to end. It was as if she was fascinated by it.“I want you to roll down your window and start shooting at them. Just for distraction while I get us out from here. Don’t worry. My car is bullet proof and I doubt theirs are one” I said and dialed to call Ivan again as the first call went to his voicemail. “Where the f*ck is Ivan?”“Honey, removed that little pin. Aim and shoot” I gave her instruction before I turned to our left sharply that made her yelped.“Nikolai, I almost shot myself with the gun. Careful” I chuckled hearing her said those words. Never thought she had never seen a gun before.“And no! I do know how to use a weapon. But, I never seen this sort of weapon. It is really
(Ashley’s POV).Tired. Confused. Lost.I blinked my eyes open slowly and realised I was lying on a very soft and comfortable bed. It was not at all helping me to get up. I looked around and realised I was alone.The sun seeped through the curtains which was the only light in the room. It was pretty dark and gloomy. What the hell had happened to me?I could not remember much. It was a blur in my mind.Groaning in pain with my head throbbing from the inside, I tried to get up but it proved to be not that easy as it seemed. I fell back on the bed and stared on the ceiling. That ceiling looked very familiar.Then, the door to the room opened wide but I could see no one entering. The sound of little footsteps running was heard and I knew instantly who it was.“Mommy!” it was my son. Oh, I was so happy to see him. At least something good happened during my memory loss. My son was safe.He jumped on the bed and hugged me tightly. So tight that made me breathless. I did not mind that at all.
(Nikolai’s POV).My heart was beating fast seeing her holding that f*cking red bag of hers. I should have thrown it away. I should have chained her to the bed if this was what she planned to do.After what had happened in the past two days ago, I could not believe she was leaving me. I was not going to let it happen.I clenched my hands on my sides into a fist. I was doing all I could to calm myself down. My eyes were staring at her all the way as she stood up slowly and turned around to face me.Teddy was hiding behind her long sexy legs, covering his face from me. Did he tell her? It was supposed to be our secret.I did not want Ashley to know what she had done. It would freak her out. I was freaked out. But, with all the love I have for her, I was willing to accept her as what she was. It was just the same as how she had accepted me as who I was.I wondered if she truly wanted to be with me.I did not care! I wanted her to stay and I would not let her go. Ever!Before I opened my
(Nikolai’s POV).She looked like me and sighed. I wished I could hear her thoughts or at least feel her emotions. Women, they were not easy for me to understand and Ashley was no exception to that.“Hungry?” I tucked her hair behind her ears gently. She nodded with her eyes staring at the stairs. I noticed she does that a lot. Spacing her mind out. I caressed her cheeks and sighed, “Everything is going to be alright. Trust me. I got it handled”She pouted her lips and looked at me with her teary eyes, “Did I hurt Ivan?”She had hurt a lot of my men that night. Some were still in the Hospital getting proper treatment. Some broke their teeth, broker their legs, twisted their arms and she even set a few on fire.I did not want to tell her everything. It was not going to help her that way. I needed to calm her down first.“Let’s eat. Then, we talk” I held her hand and guided her to walk to my kitchen. I hoped to have enough ingredients to cook a simple dish for her. Something that could
(Author’s POV).He took her silence as a “yes”.As she closed her eyes, she could feel his warm hands touching her body underneath her dress. His mouth moved from her mouth down to her throat and ended on her erected exposed nipples, “N-Nikolai”She called his name with her erratic breathing. Feeling her knees weakened, she slipped down on his body and hugged him close, “We can’t. No, Teddy would come back soon. We need to stop”He chuckled and carried her body to sit on the large soft leather sofa at the lounge area, “Not that soon, honey”He slowly lay his body on her. Feeling his weight on her, she smiled in between their endless kisses, liking the feeling of his body crushing hers. Shivers passed through her body as she felt his lips and circling tongue on her skin.Letting out her passionate moans, Ashley arched her back as she felt him devouring her folds. Her legs were lifted on his shoulders as he moved to taste her sweetness, “I f*cking love you, Ashley”His words made her s
(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
(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).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).“Ashley, please don’t do this. I’m sorry” I kneeled down by her side while placing a hand on one of her hands. I then palmed her cheeks gently as I whispered my words to calm her sadness, “Honey, I’m sorry. I did not mean to say those words. I just could not lose you again and again. I can’t. I would rather die than living in this life without you. Please look at me”She opened her eyes and stared at me. I pecked her lips and pulled her body closer to mine, “I love you, Ashley. Please, this is enough. You need to rest. Loraine is finding a cure for our son. You must not use all the energy you have left in you. Save it for the babies”Loraine had accidentally slipped from her mouth that Ashley would be carrying twins. I was overjoyed with the news. But, after knowing how difficult her pregnancy would be with twins, I did not know how to react.I was not going to lose her. I needed to find a way to save her and our babies.But first, we needed to save my son.“I’m so s
(Author’s POV).Red. Bodies. Death.It was everywhere around the warehouse, except for two little souls.One was standing in the middle of a puddle of blood, while the other blindfolded and tied to a pole. She heard noises. The kind of noise that was sending shivers down her spine.Not being able to see what was happening was making her anxious, “T-teddy.. w-where are you? What happened?”She whispered with her trembling voice. The sound she heard earlier was frightening to her.There were the sound of Wolves howling in pain. Cracking of bones in a painful and excruciating ways. Cries for help was heard followed by the sound of the doors and windows locked.“T-teddy, are you.. are you still there?” Crystal whispered her words being afraid on what was there around her.She could not see or move much. Despite trying to get free and hurt her hands more, it proved to be useless as the rope was far tighter around her wrist, “Help me. Someone please, help us”It was then Crystal heard the
(Nikolai’s POV).“Oh, look. Your Wolf is here, Ashley. And he thinks he could save you” I saw this b*th named Helen turned to face me with that stupid smile plastered on her ugly face. I wanted so much to punch her but then she spoke something I did not quite understand the meaning of it, “You can’t stop what I’m doing next. Oh, you can kill me. I have nothing left in this world to live for. But, I will come back. Stronger and I will find you”“What are you?” I growled and was surprise Helen could understand my language. She smiled and suddenly revealed herself on what she was. A Demon.Her eyes turned pitch black, and I could see it hollow. The sound of the cries of pain was heard as I stared into her blacken eyeballs. It was probably those souls she had destroyed to make her stronger.Evil being she was. And I needed to be careful on what she would do next. Not fearing her, just careful.“You sold your soul to evil. Let Ashley go. Or suffer the consequences” I said as I moved close
(Ashley’s POV).In the fast-moving car, I asked Frankie to turn the car to the left as what was shown on the locator map. “Hurry! Why are you driving so slow!”I took a glance at Frankie who had his eyes only on the road. His hands on the steering wheels were shaking. Was he afraid of me? He did not even look at me after I forced him to drive me to the point shown in the map.“Someone took my son, Frankie. Does Nikolai know about this?” I asked him as we entered what looked like a road going up the hill. “I was asked to come here alone. You can stay in the car. I’ll get there by foot from here”“No, Miss Winters. It is not safe there for you. I’ll watch over you from far. Whoever you are meeting would not notice my presence” he said as he parked the car at the signage stating, “Private property”“This is a dead end. Walking up there would only lead you to a cliff. This does not look good, Miss Winters. We better call Alpha Nikolai” he turned to look at me with a look full of concern.
(Ashley’s POV).I woke up on Nikolai’s ever so comfortable bed. Soft and feather like feeling of the white sheets. It smelled pleasant too. I smiled and moved to my side thinking he would still be there next to me.But the bed was empty on the other side I sighed and pulled the warm and soft duvet to cover my body completely like being in a protective cocoon.I missed him already. Wished he would come back to me soon as he promised me earlier. Closing my eyes again, I rested my head on the pillow that still have his scent that I came to love.Love. Never thought I would fall in love again with another man, after what Philip did to me five years ago. But, Nikolai was different. Being with him was exciting and he made me feel special.As I drifted back to sleep, there was the sound of knocking on the window. It was disturbing my rest. Definitely annoying and had forced me to get up from my sleep.Nikolai had helped me to rest after our shower together. It was a quick one. It seemed tha
(Author’s POV).In a room with only a small window allowing the dim light from the moon to shine its brightness, two children were heard sniffling their tears of fear and regret. Their small little hands were tied on their back with a tight rope as they rested their back on the wall. Eyes were blindfolded.. mouth taped.. it was terrifying to both of the little children.“Teddy, w-where are you?” little Crystal whispered as she managed to free her hands from the rope tied around her hand. Her brothers once taught her that skill. She sniffled a tear seeing the cut and graze around her wrist. It had hurt her a little too much.At that time of despair, she recalled her elder brothers told her to be strong. Being the only girl among her siblings of three strong boys, had set certain expectation for her to toughened up like them. Despite her age of eight years old, Crystal was stronger than her peers at the same age.She was also smarter than average kids in her school. And that was what l
