Ashton's eyes flickered, filled with amazement at how King Edward angrily scolded him for yelling at my children. It was quite funny especially when I noticed how messy he was in his state. He seemed to take a bath with a lot of flour in his head while Atticus had some brownish sauce in the corner of his lips.“I apologize, Your Majesty. They're my children, and I don't you to think they don't know where they are supposed to be placed.” Ashton whispered.King Edward didn't say anything to him but diverted his attention to me. Shocked was obvious on his face and I noticed how his ears became pinkish before he avoided his gaze on me.“Ashianna, I thought you left already,” he muttered but sounded like he was relieved. He strolled closer to me held my hand and dragged me to the vacant chair. “Did you sleep well? Marcus doesn't inform me you're staying here.”“Atticus doesn't want to sleep if I will never sleep here,” I answered but swallowed after I heard how Ashton cleared his throat. K
“It's bad. Mom doesn't like to hear a grown man say some bad words. Did you see we are only a child?” It was Atticus. His gaze landed on mine like he expected me to correct King Edward which made me think he might forget I wasn't his mother when we were in front of them.“This young lady is one of the most respected werewolves in our community. A woman who likes her doesn't like when a man's too brutal when he speaks,” he added, flickering his eyes as if he wanted me to see how cute he was.Because of what he had said, King Edward gave me his attention and his face turned dark. He cleared his throat before he scratched his forehead as if it was itchy. “Ashianna, is it true you don't like a man who curses a lot? I remembered how you liked it when I was brutal with you.” he sweetly but full of mockery uttered.My eyes widened in horror, glanced at the two children who seemed astonished at what they heard. Ashton coughed loudly as if there was a lot of phlegm that wanted to come out fro
Sarah flashed a proud grin when the young girl hugged King Edward tightly, sniffing his scent and smiling broadly at him. King Edward diverted his attention to me, checking how I would react to him.“Dad, I'm excited to eat breakfast with you but I don't even know you have some guests.” her tiny voice made me go back to reality. If King Edward accepted her as his daughter, it meant she was his child. As the girl turned around to face me she noticed his beloved father looking at me, her cute small lips parted in disbelief, and seeing how sparkled blue her eyes made me want to leave King Edward's pack immediately.“Who's this young lady? I don't know her, too. It's my first time to see her.” she exclaimed with so much joy.“She's the Alpha Queen of the werewolf community. She's here to negotiate with me about the peace of our communities.” King Edward answered with enthusiasm. Atticus had a scowl on his face, which made me see she didn't like there was a young girl, stealing his father
“Are you jealous?” She repeated, stunned me before I looked around to see if she was talking to me or if there might be someone standing behind me. Her forehead creased, giving me an irritated look when I pointed myself.“Are you talking to me? Sarah, it’s better if you will call me by my name so I will be prepared to answer your useless question.”“Huh? I know you’re jealous because King Edward is too close to Alexa. You might be envious because you can’t conceive his child like what I did to him.” She said she sounded proud for being stupid in front of me. My lips pursed with disgust and annoyance towards her.Quickly, my lips curled when I saw how anxious she was. She was attempting to remove me from King Edward’s sight because she knew King Edward might leave her. If King Edward was only looking for a child, Sarah might be the Lycan Queen since I left, but unfortunately, she remained as his concubine.“Sarah..” I called her name; my tone was severe, and I stared at her like I was
When Harvey formed a grin on his lips in response to what he had said, my heart began to beat rapidly. Confusion struck my face because I couldn't understand how he hadn't known I was alive. Ashton informed me that it was King Edward who helped me that night when I passed out. He almost sacrificed his life to ensure I would be saved and not bothered me in the end so I could have some peace.My lips parted in disbelief, as I wanted to ask him for clarity, yet I was scared that he might not know about it. When I got pregnant, a part of me hated King Edward for using my body and for choosing Sarah in the end.“When I left, I thought King Edward would marry Sarah. I don't see any reason for him not to do it since he's been looking for the future mother of his child.” I muttered, hiding the pain in my voice as I looked around to check my surroundings.Harvey cleared his throat and pursed his lips before he laughed harder, which led me to frown at him. How dare he make fun of my struggles?
“Kairo, why are you acting this way? It’s bad to accuse someone without any proof. Aside from that, Alexa is your sister, if she has the blood of King Edward in her veins.” I said it calmly. I caressed his cheek, but he avoided my touch like he always did whenever I was babying him.“Mom, Dad doesn’t know I’m his son, so it means he doesn’t know he has a son, so it’s better if it remains that way. I realize he’s a jerk, and he doesn’t deserve to know he has a smart son like me.” Kairo exclaimed, pointed himself like he was proud, bragging in front of me. I chuckled at him and pursed my lips as I cleared my throat.“I know you will be a good leader once you get the throne. Kairo, always choose to do the right thing, and don’t turn blind to any wrong actions you witness. But Atticus is your brother; you need to love him and not become his enemy. Possibly, most of the councils will use you two to clash, but ensure that you trust each other.” I whispered, flashed my sweet smile at him, so
“Surprise!” Marcus laughed when I remained stoic. His lips curled, giving me the turmoil of anxiousness inside me. As I swallowed hard, I saw how he examined my body before he added, “Ashianna, your body doesn't change. Well, did you know King Edward happened to ask me to investigate you? I don't know if you slept with him yesterday, but he's curious why your tits turned different.”“My boobs are still the same, Marcus. It's not my fault if King Edward had a lot of women lined up for him. He might be sceptical since it's been six years since we fucked each other.” My words became brutal, and I attempted to hide the panic in my chest. The thought that Marcus already knew I had twins, possibly King Edward would learn about it fast.“You sound sourgraping, Ashianna. As the Alpha Queen, you must support your co-women, especially Sarah. So, let's get back to the topic because it's surprising to know you're carrying his children when you escape. That's what I have found out since the counci
“I never hated you, King Edward.” I corrected, forcing myself to fight the bond by pushing me to kiss his delectable lips. His lips turned into a straight line, making me guess he disliked what I had told him. “It's inappropriate for me to be caught with you, especially since Miguel might think I might be cheating on him. You're aware how I hate a cheater, right?”“Miguel?” His jaw became tense when he mentioned Miguel's name, he gave me a murderous glare, and he took a deep breath aggressively. I quickly stepped back, but he stopped me by pulling my eyes and pursed his lips like he was amazed by an unknown reason. My teeth clenched as I attempted to pull my hand from his hold, but he tightened his grip.“Is this the proper way to talk with a woman? King Edward, do you like harassing me?” I sarcastically asked.“Ashianna, you know how I harassed you. If I started doing it, perhaps you might be moaning my name and begging me to start banging your pussy using my dick.” His words had an
