All Chapters of Sheryl; Alpha Ashton's Beloved Mate: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Ashton’s POV What the fuck does she thinks she’s doing?! Sheryl stood in front of me completely naked. Her entire body was illuminating pink, including her face. She looked incredibly uncomfortable, and her whimper only proved that. Her body trembled as she squeezed her legs tight, rubbing them together like she was scratching somekind of itch. She bit onto her swollen bottom lip and whimpered again, gazing up at me like she was pleading for my help.I could smell her honeysuckle scent potently and it was making my mouth water. My member wasshifting automatically in my pants and my wolf was going insane over the view. He was begging me to take our mate as our own and have our way with her, but I was holding himback. She was clearly not in the right state of mind. She was also naked and completely exposed in the hallway of her parent’s apartment.I grabbed onto her arm and pulled her into the closed compacity of my room, sealing the door behind She stumbled into the room and turned

I didn’t sleep long when Becca started to call my cell phone. It was almost 10 pm and I was veryconfused as to why she was calling me so late at night.I knew something must have been wrong. “Becca?” I asked, groggily into the phone.I knew right away that she was crying before she even spoke. “Something happened,” she said, her words trembling. “Rachel disappeared… but then I found her. She was passed out in the bathroom…”“What?” I gasped, jumping up from my bed, startling Brianna who had fallen asleep beside me. “What do you mean she passed out? What happened, Becca?”“She had a needle in her arm,” Becca cried. “She OD’d.”I needed to get back to Higala and as soon as possible. I must have been making a ton of noise while grabbing my things because my mother came into my room with a worried look in her eyes. “Sheryl, where are you going? What’s wrong?”“I have to go,” I told her quickly. “Something happened in Higala.”“What is it?” My father asked, running in behind her. “It’s Ra

Sheryl’s POVThey were both staring at me when I came through the door and into the waiting room. I was shockedto see Brody; I didn’t think he even knew about Rachel. Becca must have said something to him in passing.It was sweet that he brought her a bouquet. Although Rachel didn’t like flowers. But I wasn’t going totell Brody that. “Hi,” I said to him, forcing a smile on my face.I was feeling all sorts of drained, and I just wanted to return to my dorm and get a little bit of sleep. I was planning on coming back to the hospital in the morning anyways. “I brought these for Rachel,” he said sheepishly. He seemed a little shy and awkward and I wasn’t sure why that made me almost laugh. He picked out a bright purple flower and brought it to me. “But I picked this one out for you…”I raised my brows at him, surprised.I felt Ashton tense and I wasn’t even standing near him. It must have been the vibe and energy he was portraying. My wolf picked up on it right away. He didn’t like that

Sheryl’s POV“Sarah?” I said, standing to my feet. “What are you doing here?”“I just wanted to check out the new art gallery that just opened,” Sarah said, raising her brows. “But my question is, what are you doing here?”“I work here,” I explained. “As Cassidy-Ann’s assistant.”“You?” Sarah nearly scoffed. “What would she want with someone like you?” That sounded like an insult, but I ignored it, allowing it to brush off my back. “She liked the portrait I made of Professor Ashton. She said I have real potential and wanted me to start here as her assistant,” I said in return. At that point, the other girls had disappeared to continue their own work. They were Cassidy-Ann’s artists, so they stayed in their own section of the studio, painting for the next art show. Which I knewwas going to be held soon and I would have to help with that. “I see…” Sarah said, almost bitterly.It was like she was disregarding the entire apology she made to me a few days ago. But I knew she wasn’t being

Sheryl’s POVThere was a part of me that was hoping that Ashton wouldn’t show up. Emily and Kate were especially happy to meet him when I told them he agreed to come. We spent most of the morning setting up the gallery for the show. The caterers arrived just in time toset up their stations for food and drinks and per request, Brody arrived with his guitar. After talking with Brody over time, I discovered that he was huge into music and that it was a passion of his. I heard him playing in the student lounge and I knew he would be perfect entertainment for the art show. “Where should I set up?” He asked, holding up his red velvet guitar case. “I’ll show you,” I said, walking toward a secluded area where a few paintings were set up. “You can set up your station however you want,” I told him with a kind smile. “Hey, Sheryl! Can you help me place napkins around the tables?” Cassidy-Ann asked from across the room.I nodded to her and went to grab the napkins in the back room. As I was in t
