All Chapters of Sheryl; Alpha Ashton's Beloved Mate: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Ashton’s POVWhat the hell was I doing? She just smelled so good, and she was standing so close to me. It was either this or my wolf lost control completely and I wasn’t going to let that happen. She did a beautiful job on my portrait; it was even better than the last one. Watching her hard at work was hypnotizing. The way she bit her bottom lip when she concentrated and stuck her tongue out alittle to lick the top of her lip whenever she was pleased about something. The sparkle in her eyes showed just how much passion she felt for what she was doing. I couldn’t helpbut ask her about it. I wanted to know what made her want to be an artist.I was more than impressed with her answer and it made me want to talk to her more about it. I knewshe was good at combat, but her intelligence is beyond me.It made me want to bend her over the canvas and have my way with her. But I couldn’t. But she was so close to me, and she was so proud of the work she had done. When she asked why I haven’t r

Sheryl’s POVI took a step away from the door. I wasn’t surprised by what I had just heard. But I suppose I was a little disappointed.I’m sure Ashton was probably thinking the same thing; that I didn’t belong at this school. That I causednothing but pain and destruction wherever I went.I hurt my combat partner and friend.I wouldn’t blame her for never forgiving me.I could hear the murmurs continuing in the arena, but I didn’t stick around to listen to the rest. …Ashton’s POV“How could you say that when you know what my mother is, Connie?” I asked in disbelief. Her face fell slightly. “Your mother is different… she’s—”“Sheryl is top in her class,” I said, interrupting her words. “She’s incredibly intelligent and great at what she does. I don’t think she meant to hurt anybody. Just like my mother would never hurt anybody.”“Why are you protecting her, Ashton?” Connie asked, peering up at me with large and worried eyes. “As many years as I’ve known you, you’ve never once stood up

Sheryl’s POVEverything happened so fast; my heart was racing at lightning speed as Ashton lifted me onto the sink. Instinctively, I wrapped my legs around him; mainly to keep myself from falling off the sink, but also because it just felt right.I felt him between my legs, pressing himself against me and growing through his pants. I wrapped my arms around the back of his neck and felt his lips closing in around mine.I closed my eyes as he kissed me. His lips were so soft and inviting; everything about him was just so good. The way he smelled, the way he felt, the way my heart raced whenever I was around him, and I can’t forget about the sweet bliss Val felt.I could feel her running laps in my mind’s eye and howling in delight as Ashton continued the embrace. He bit onto my bottom lip and brought it into his mouth hungrily. At this moment, he wanted me as much as I wanted him. Nothing was in my mind; I didn’t think about Connie or what she had said previously, and I wasn’tthinking

Ashton’s POV“You know, Ashton. You aren’t a bad drinking partner,” Alpha John said with a drunken slur as he slapped me on the back of my shoulder. I could smell the whisky on his breath, and it made me cringe.I’ve only had a couple of beers, so I was far from drunk. But I couldn’t say the same for the other Alphas. The only other one that had his shit together was Bastien. He didn’t want to return to Selene completely wasted and I respected that about him. He loved his family, and he loved his work; he didn’t let the other Alpha convince him to drink more than he wanted, and I did the same, despite them trying. “Ashton, when are you finally going to meet your mate and get married?” Alpha John murmured while peering over at me. “You know it’s hard to run a pack without a proper luna.” There was no way in hell I would tell them about Sheryl. I wasn’t even sure if there was anything to say. We only kissed; nothing more happened between us. Besides, getting close to her would only put

Ashton’s POVWhat in the actual fuck was going on right now? This couldn’t have been happening. Sheryl stood in front of me with wide eyes, staring at Connie behind me. Connie, who was paradingaround in just a towel, was searching for the underwear she had misplaced. They both had terrible timing. Sheryl’s body began to tremble as she took a large step away from me. What was she even doing here? This was the faculty housing. Students weren’t allowed here. “Ashton? Did you hear…” Connie walked closer to me and once she noticed Sheryl staring at her, she paused. “Oh… I’m sorry. I didn’t know you had company. A student company at that.” Connie raised her brows. “I was just leaving,” Sheryl stammered as she turned around. She began to hurry away from the house. “What were you doing here?” I called after her, shutting the door behind me as I stepped outside.I could hear Connie saying something from inside, but I ignored her. “I shouldn’t have come here,” Sheryl said quickly; she still ha
