During meeting time with some of America's biggest pack, Alex smiled at Ashly a lot, and Ashly laughed and blushed when others teased them for being stuck in the hounymmon phase even after more than one year. She laughed a lot harder than usual, and they touched at every opportunity. They knew that these moments would be used as evidence by their annoying sisters and friends of their'relationship', but they didn't really care. They were enjoying things between them while being easy for the moment. They had no idea that after the meeting, the rug would be pulled sharply out from under their feet. They'd run off the hotel as soon as they could, all of them smiling, and Ashly and Alex were walking so close that their arms brushed with every step, and Alex had come to a sudden stop. When Ashly saw Alex's face go from shock and masked disappointment to a big, false smile that didn't meet his eyes, she looked around to see what had caused it, and she felt her stomach drop. There was a beaut
"You need to let go. You need to ignore him when he does things like flirt and touch you, and you need to live your own life. Maybe shagging two hot guys hadn't been the best of plans, but going out that night and having fun had been a good start," Rose said with a roll of her eyes at the mention of those two hot guys. "To be fair, I didn't go out with the intention of doing anything; I just got offered one," Ashly said diplomatically. "Wow, Ashly, you are really something." Rose grinned, and Ashly smirked, finally starting to feel like herself again. "How do you fall out of love with someone?" Ashly asked Rose softly, and she was aware that her eyes were filled with desperation, but she just didn't know how to start. "I honestly don't know, Ashly. I'm sorry that I can't help," Rose said, knocking her forehead against Ashly in an affectionate apology. Ashly realized that for a little while she'd become withdrawn from the others; there was too much going on in her head about Rose an
When Ashly woke up, she refused to get out of bed, telling herself she deserved to hide for a little while. But she was rudely exposed by Monika, who opened the door and shoved her grinning face into Ashly. She snapped back, nearly poking Ashly in the eye. "Morning sister," Monika sang at her, and Ashly flipped her off, hiding under her covers. Monika ripped the covers back again, then laughed. "Ashly! There's a bitchy girl on here; you didn't think to put on pajama bottoms." "Piss off, Monika," Ashly sighed, but she got up anyway, wrapping the sheet around herself until she found her grey sweat pants, slipping them on, and wandering over to the breakfast area. When she saw Alex, she noted with sadness but not a lot of surprise that Alex refused to meet her eyes. Ashly decided then that she was going to act like what Alex had done last night was no big deal, that it'd just been a bit of casual fun, even if her heart was still aching over it. "Morning," Ashly called out with a mock c
"I guess you had fun?" Rose asked with a laugh at the way Ashly was smiling. "Hell yes," Ashly grinned. She risked a glance at Alex and found that he was smiling the face off of Jasmine; it looked like Alex was trying to compete. Ashly considered going back onto the dance floor and finding another person just to piss Alex off even more, but honestly, she was not in the mood. So she just snuggled up to Rose, craving the affection that she doesn't get from her mate. "You have fun, Ashly; it's gross," Rose said with a wrinkled nose but a smile to show she was joking. "You're just jealous," Ashly said back smugly, and she saw Alex's face harden slightly despite the fact that he was still kissing Jasmine. "You're just jealous you didn't get him," Ashly continued, just to be an annoying little shit and piss Alex off more. "I really didn't need details," Rose laughed, her face red with a slight blush. "He is great," Ashly giggled, and this time just because it was funny watching Rose's r
When Ashly finally woke up for good, it was 4 in the afternoon, according to her phone. She turned over to find Alex sitting on the floor beside her bed, playing a game on his phone, but at the sounds of movement from Ashly, he quickly turned off his phone and faced Ashly with a gentle smile. Ashly said, her voice horribly cracking, "I feel like a truck hit me in the head." Alex handed her a bottle of water, and she sat up and drank it gratefully. "Ashly? How are you feeling?" Alex asked carefully, and Ashly gave a sharp bark of laughter that hurt her throat. "Like shit, Alex. I was stupid and got spiked and almost raped in an alley. How do you expect me to feel?" Ashly snapped, then sighed, regretting it. "Sorry, I'm just pissed off, I guess." "It's okay to be pissed off, Ashly, some guy... Some guy molested you and would have done a lot worse if he could," Alex said, and there were tears in his eyes. "Don't cry, Alex," Ashly whispered, wiping under Alex's eyes with trembling fin
"Are you in a bad mood?" Seth asked, reaching over to steal one of Monika's cookies as he said it. Monika turned a pouty face on her in response, to which Seth shot her a smirk and a wink, making Monika blush deep red and look back down at her remaining cookies with a soft smile. Rose and Adom shook their heads at the two of them with a chuckle; they all knew by now that Alex and Rose had figured it out not long after Ashly, and they'd all decided to keep it within the five of them. "Yup," Ashly said, popping her lips on the 'P' and sitting down next to Rose with a frown. "He's a right little sod when he's ill," Ashly continued, cuddling into the arm Rose placed around her shoulders. "I can definitely agree with that," Rose said wryly, rolling her eyes, and Ashly reluctantly smiled. Ashly was silent in thought as the others chatted amongst themselves, and she smiled as an idea came to her. "What time is it?" Ashly asked anyone. "Like half past 5, why?" Rose answered after glancing
Alex hummed around Ashly's arse and ran his tongue around her private parts until he removed his lips from around Ashly, at which point he licked Ashly's private area and smacked her back. "You always act good, love," Alex smiled as he pulled off and kissed Ashly's hip. "Alpha," Ashly begged. Please, I need to be fucked. "I will, babe," Alex promised as he kissed Ashly before he finally rid himself of his remaining clothes. "Need you," Ashly begged as Alex kissed her stomach and left a bruise on it. "I need you so bad." "Alright, love. You've been so drenched, but this is your first time, so I still need to properly prepare you, right?" Alex said as he grabbed the small package from his wallet, and Ashly ignored the painful clench in her chest when she thought about the fact that Alex could have had the intention of using that on someone else. "Yes," Ashly mumbled. Alex reached over and grabbed the bag, taking the bottle of lube from it to slick up his fingers before he pressed on
They had a few days off, and Ashly spent all of it locked in her room. She didn't care that she was sulking, and she didn't care that spending days in bed was not something she would normally do. It had been days since she'd seen anyone when she heard a room key slide in her door, and it opened. She sat up, still completely wrapped up in her blankets, as Alex walked into her bedroom. Why can't you simply leave me alone? Ashly groaned, falling back onto the bed. "I miss you," Alex mumbled as he crawled into the bed next to Ashly. "Alex, why are you doing this?" Ashly asked in a low whisper. "I don't know," Alex answered in a voice just as quiet. Ashly rolled over, so she was facing Alex. "You know that you're hurting me." Alex nodded. "I see it in your eyes every time." Ashly closed her eyes and shook her head. "When do you keep coming back? What's the point of all this? You want a good fuck with me? You know I'll keep my mouth shut because I'm fucking in love with you, so I'm th
