“Alpha, you don't need to ask me because I will do anything for their sake. I'm willing to risk my life so they will be safe.” Ashton said it with conviction and honesty. Surely, I already knew Ashton wanted to join me to ensure peace between the Lycans and werewolves. I actually realized what my father had said to me before I was declared the new Alpha of our pack. He already warned me that some of the werewolves disliked the idea of being connected with the Lycans. Since Atticus and Kairo were mixed breeds, they were living proof that Lycans could be with werewolves.“Ashton, I still want you to be safe. You're my friend; you're important to me.” I informed him. Ashton's eyes flickered. He looked at me with disbelief, but I noticed strange emotions in his eyes. I didn't know if he was sad or happy after he heard my words.“Alpha, you don't need to trust me because I don't want you to be hurt and disappointed in me.” Ashton whispered those words. My forehead creased, confused becaus
My continued sobbing shook her head in disbelief, like she couldn't believe the possibility she might get pregnant. I couldn’t understand why she acted like she was scared, but to ensure, I suggested to them that they go to the pack hospital first since we were still early.“Thank you, honey! I know this is your day, but I appreciate you being with me to know about it.” Her lips quivered as she drank a lot of water. I wanted to tease her because it seemed my father ensured he would enjoy his retirement. I wasn’t aware she wasn't on menopause, perhaps because she was eighteen when she conceived me.“I understand how anxious you are, Mom. Don’t worry because me and Dad are with you.” I sweetly replied, but when I mentioned Dad, her face turned sour, like she didn’t want to see him again. I laughed hard but the excitement rushed through my veins. I would love to see her get pregnant and take care of their baby because they never experienced those things with me.“I--I’m scared. I feel l
As I walked on the red carpet, King Edward didn’t avoid his eyes on me, as if he were scared to lose me from his sight. His intense gaze made my body quivered in anxiousness, but gladly, as my mother laughed, my confidence came back in me. Despite my mask covering half of my face, King Edward knew it was me because of my scent.I didn’t bother to flash a grin so they would think I was approachable; my father prohibited me from doing it because he was scared that the councils might take advantage of me because I was a woman. They didn’t have a choice but to let me lead the pack, even though they prefer a male ruler for the werewolf community.I glanced at Ashra’s designated seat; she was with Alpha James and Alpha Rex. Seeing how she wore the gown I had given her made me want to laugh. I ensured she would wear the same outfit as the curtains at the party hall. She was trembling as if she couldn’t understand why I was standing; she had the attention of everyone.The councils did their b
“Ashra, shut the fuck your mouth! What are you trying to do?” Alpha James angrily snarled, was about to pull her arms, but she flinched at his hold and glared at me. Ashra's eyes widened with fury, and her lips quivered as she stepped closer to me. Her intense gaze didn't have any impact on my body, unlike the days when she always bullied me.Unfortunately, Ashra remained the same. I was a jealous bitch who liked to be on top and get whatever I wanted. Despite how she claimed I was a loser, her insecurity towards me was evident, especially after I became higher than her.“This bitch is the concubine of the Lycan King. She's been working with him.” Ashra screamed and drank another wine, as if she were enjoying how she embarrassed me with every guest in the audience.My mother, Luna, glared at her as if she were ready to fight against her. She was overprotective towards me and might slap Ashra for humiliating me during my day.“Ashianna, stop playing. We all know where you came from. Sh
I never avoided my gaze to watch Ashra resisting the pack guards. She continued screaming and lost her classy posture as she kept uttering my name with resentment. Her cheeks were fuming red while she attempted to pull her hands out of the guard's hands.“She's not the Alpha Queen. Stop pulling me, you idiots!” she yelled, and her voice was heard by the whole party hall. Guests started murmuring about how Ashra was determined to disrespect me and humiliate me. My mother stepped closer to me and held my arms as if she were calming me but her touch wouldn't stop the how to ignite the turmoil of anger in my chest.“Alpha, my daughter doesn't know what she's doing. She became mentally unstable after she gave birth.” Alpha Rex rushed closer to us, worry was evident in his face even though he tried to conceal his emotion.“Please, stop her punishment. You became her sister for almost two decades,” he added, forgetting that he had a lot of needed to explain to me. How could he use that reaso
The gasps of every guest were what I had heart. They seemed torn because werewolves always supported each other and did everything to fix the misunderstanding. Well, I had plans to make amends with Alpha Rex because despite how he mistreated me, he was the husband of the mother I had grown up with.She was the reason why I became kind to them even though they tortured me and gave me many traumas on. I knew how to act grateful for her sacrifices although Alpha Rex didn't deserve it.“Alpha Ashianna, we are werewolves and must suppose to unite whatever happens. Let's fix the issues so we don't need to be divided because of Alpha Rex.” I heard one of the councils suggest. The Alphas agreed to his suggestion, giving an annoyance in my heart.“Are you trying to say you can't cut Alpha Rex as your ally? Did you know what's his bad deeds? His actions aren't tolerated in our community. Why are you acting as if I was kicking him out without any valid reason?” My tone was so loud that they almos
The party that must have been enjoyable became a nightmare for Alpha Rex. He seemed displeased when my father backed me up so the rest of the Alphas would be afraid to fight with me. However, he didn't have to help me because I was aware of my abilities. I wasn't the old Ashianna who didn't know about my capabilities.“This isn't right. Alpha Rex already stated he doesn't know she's the Alpha King's daughter. I don't think he will commit such nasty acts if he's aware of her identity.”“I agree. Alpha Rex serves and helps us to fight when the Lycans and Werewolves weren't on good terms.”“I think Alpha Ashianna recklessly decided to revoke him as the Alpha.”My lips, pressing in a thin line, looked livid when they began to team up against me. My fury was about to burst out, ready to slash their throats to remove their heads, when King Edward barked a laugh that sounded with mockery as he tilted his head.“These idiots don't even know how to respect their lead. How could they choose a ma
“King Edward, we will have a meeting because of our community issues. Don't assume I want to talk with you because of personal issues.” I answered, pressing my lips when I noticed his gaze darkened on me. As I swallowed hard, it gave me a glimpse of speculation that I might be the one who assumed that he wanted to have sex with me. My heart skipped from beating, making me experience difficulty breathing when I heard how he laughed with mockery because of my foolishness. I bit my tongue and lost my cool and ruthless composure because of the emotions lingering in my chest.“I'm aware we aren't closed to meet privately but what gives you an assumption I have plans to have intercourse with you? Alpha Ashianna, I know how to work professionally but it seems there's a moss in your brain.” he talked back, gloomily tilted his head, and waited for my reaction. “Moss?” “Yeah, you're dirty-minded. If you want to sign with me, I want you to stop putting some malice between us. I already know w
