All Chapters of Sheryl; Alpha Ashton's Beloved Mate: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Ashton’s POV“Go back there and take what is ours!!” Max roared, fury boiling through him. He was desperate to haveSheryl as his and I wasn’t going to partake in such activities.If I were to be caught, I could lose everything I had worked so hard for, and I wasn’t going to let that happen. I had big goals and dreams to fulfill in order to lock my future down and I wasn’t going to let a mate bond get in the way of that. Plus, if I were to get too close to her, it’ll put her in danger. I’m always being watched and hunted by myfather’s followers. They nearly killed my mother.I won’t let something like that happen to Sheryl too. ‘ Not while I’m alive.I was careless and weak. I acted with my dick and not with my head.I won’t let that happen again. Though, I could still taste her sweet lips on mine and feel the softness of her skin pressed against me. It made me feel a way I had never felt before. However, I chose to ignore that feeling.I returned to the dance because I had a job to

Sheryl’s POV What did she just say? The woman Ashton is going to marry? But what about Connie?I wanted to ask, but I thought against it. The woman seemed so sure of her words, and I had no idea who she was. Though I had to admit, shekind of looked familiar. It was almost like she didn’t want anyone to see her face because it was covered with giant glasses, and she had a hood over her head.I must have looked as dumbfounded as I felt because she stared me over carefully and then started tolaugh. My face instantly started to warm, and I felt embarrassed for a moment as I turned away and continuedto the academic center. “Truth be told, we have yet to meet. But I’m sure once he meets me, he won’t be able to resist,” she saidcasually. A knot formed in the pit of my stomach and suddenly, I wasn’t feeling so well.I wasn’t sure what to say in response. “How do you know about Ashton if you’ve never met him?” I asked, trying not to look at her; I didn’t want her to see the sorrow on my fa

Ashton’s POV“Alpha John is requesting a meeting with you,” Beta Ethan said during a mindlink. “He agreed to meet you somewhere in Higala. Perhaps a coffee shop in the morning.”“Did he say what it’s about?” I asked, curiosity piquing my interest. It was odd that John would request alast-minute meeting like this. It was out of character. “I asked and he said it was a personal matter,” Ethan said in return. “I see,” I said, thinking carefully about this. “All right. We can meet at the coffee shop in the morning. 8:00 am.”“I’ll let him know,” Ethan said as he disconnected the link. …The next morning. The coffee shop was fairly busy in the morning with the college students all scrambling to get their morning coffee before their first rounds of classes.I knew I wasn’t going to see Sheryl this morning because coffee wasn’t something she typically drank. She was a tea drinker.I wasn’t even sure how or why I knew that information. “You think about her often,” Max teased. “It’s like you

Sheryl’s POV“Why are you spending the weekend at the Calypso pack?” Rachel asked from across our dorm as she watched me pack some of my belongings into my weekend bag. “I told some of the children that I would help them with their combat,” I explained to her. “And Professor Ashton is okay with that?” She asked, raising her brows. “It took a little convincing. But eventually, he came around,” I told her. This much was true. Ashton was against it at first, but I asked him again the other day if I could go to his pack and train some of the local children and he finally agreed. Rachel looked questionably at me for a few moments before shrugging and plopping down on her bed. “Well, I’ll be here. Being bored out of my mind,” she said, grabbing one of her old magazines to flipthrough. “I’m sure you’ll be fine,” I chuckled. “I’ll be back in a couple of days.”I gave her a quick hug before leaving. …“I’m so happy that you are here!” Dee said as soon as I walked into the packhouse. She greet

Ashton’s POV“Something is wrong with our mate. She’s feeling an overwhelming sense of sadness. Her wolf is cryingout to me,” Max said with a strained tone.I had anxiety boiling in my chest and I knew he was right. I didn’t stay around the packhouse for long. I knew Sheryl was in the Calypso field with the local children, training them in combat. As I reached the field, I saw exactly what was making Sheryl upset. Or rather, I saw who was making her upset. Bethany stood beside her with a smile on her face as she spoke words to Sheryl that looked wounding. Sheryllowered her gaze and for a moment, I thought she was going to cry.I couldn’t explain the rage I was feeling at that moment. I clenched my fist and gritted my teeth. I knew I had to remain calm; I couldn’t lose my cool in front of everybody.Including these children. The only thing I could think to do was approach them without making a sound. Sheryl, of course, couldsense my presence. She saw me before I reached them, but Be
