“Oh, you're here. Seriously, I don't expect you will come here.” Miguel welcomed me and flashed a wide grin on his lips before he chuckled mischievously. His eyes were filled with surprise like he didn't think I would come to his party.Flabbergasted, like I forgot what I would say to him especially when he acted like my presence was truly a big deal. Of course, I would attend his family's party to make them all see that our relationship was true.Gunner might have come here especially since I heard most of the Alphas, joined his party to have a strong connection with his family. The councils might use this opportunity to talk with the other members about their plans, and visions for their pack. They might guessed I was here and I didn't want to humiliate Miguel because possibly, the councils might interrogate him alone.“I don't see any reason for me not to come here, Miguel. You already know my family so it's better if you will introduce me to your father.” I grinned, winking at him
“K-Kairo, what are you doing here?” I was shocked when I saw my son wear the same outfit as King Edward. My heart skipped a beat, anxious that King Edward knew that they were related. The councils might suspect that they might be related, and I didn’t want to take a risk for their safety.Kairo had a stoic expression, seemed to enjoy staying at the party. He looked around like he was trying to check if there might be someone who was peeking at us. He stepped closer to me before he hugged me tightly.“Mom, King Edward wants me to go with him. Well, I’m smart, and he wants me to learn how to observe the guests. I don’t know you are here since he doesn’t tell me.” He explained, and seeing him directly look at me in the eyes made me believe in him. I had known Kairo, and he wouldn’t lie to me, especially if it was about his father.It was strange to think he brought him because he wanted him to socialize with the members of the community. I did my best to ensure they wouldn’t be exposed t
I didn’t know what I would say to him because I did think we weren’t in the right place to talk about his relationship with my twins. It would be better if he were the one who discovered the secrets about his children.“Ashianna…” he called me, sounded like he was threatening me that if I never told him about my relationship with Ashton, he might kill Ashton in front of me.I always calculated my every move and ensured I wouldn’t take the wrong step, but since King Edward came back into my life, everything changed drastically. I didn’t have the strength to predict whatever his moves were or whatever he might think while he was with me. He was like a living statue, and I didn’t know what his emotions were.“I don’t see any reason for me to explain.” I plainly answered, avoiding his gaze when he gawked at me like he was preparing himself to devour me.“Are you fucking with me, Ashianna?” he sounded like he was about to yell at me. He gulped as I watched how his Adam’s apple moved down,
Miguel was stunned when he heard what I had said to him. He laughed, teasing me about how I acted like a loving professional adviser. He cleared his throat and acted like he was coughing hard to spit out the phlegm in his lungs. “Alpha Ashianna, it’s surprising to know you’re like a woman who wants to advise someone about their relationship, but you don’t know what you will do for your own relationship.” Miguel said it sarcastically. My eyes flickered in disbelief, trying to hide how I felt annoyed because of him. He slapped me with the truth because he was right—my relationship with King Edward wasn’t good and confusing. “I think you’re the one who needs to get my love advice. Ashianna, it’s better if you learn how to know the truth. There’s nothing wrong with asking, especially if it will help you to know better and can help you to make the right decision.” he added that he sounded firmed. His eyes roamed around, stilled when he noticed something behind my back, “Did you see how y
A long silence between us. Miguel’s parents seemed confused about what King Edward had said but I continued to flash my sweet grin and innocently look at him. King Edward arched his brow like he was triggering me to be curious about Miguel. I knew about what he referred but I wouldn’t let him think I played with Miguel. “King Edward, what are you talking about? I know Miguel is a nice man. He won’t let me hurt like what happened to my past relationships.” I gently whispered, tasting my wine and I saw how Miguel breathed out in relief. His eyes flickered, he didn’t expect King Edward to investigate him just to remove me from his life. “Ashianna, you aren’t the type of woman who will act deaf and stupid especially when you finally get the hint about your man. As the Alpha Queen, you must be supposed to be alert and not foolish. How can you be the leader if a man can easily manipulate you.” King Edward responded, sounding like he didn’t like what he had heard from me. I softly laughe
I was stunned by what he said, making me experience tremendous emotions in my system. King Edward seemed sure he was the father of my children, which led me to finally realize how he thought about it.I didn't know if this was the right time would tell him about Atticus and Kairo since I let them stay with him to ensure their safety. As my eyes tightly shut, I heard how he breathed out aggressively, like he was stopping himself from choking me to submit to him. If I were his mistress, he might have done that, but our situation changed because I was the Alpha Queen of the werewolf community.“King Edward, what are you talking about? Did you forget before I left, you rushed to the hospital? So, did the pack doctor inform you about it?” I said, didn't bother to answer his damn question. His eyes flickered like he attempted to recall what happened when I was in the pack hospital. “The pack doctor will notify you if was pregnant so, did you get the news about my pregnancy?”“Don't beat arou
“What do you mean, Alpha Ashianna? His pack is one of the most secured packs here in our land. Perhaps, you're trying to reason out on me to let them be with you.” Ashton sounded like he didn't like what I was doing. A strange emotion crept into his eyes that he had attempted to conceal.“I don't need to excuse myself because I'm their mother so I have the right not to allow you to be in my pack. So if still want to see your cousins, then it's better if you will get back in your senses, Ashton. I dislike a lot when someone is trying to stop me from what I want.” My tone became firm like I was ready to fight a battle with him. His eyes flickered, confused as to why I had reacted negatively to him. “I'm only worried about their safety. You still don't locate your enemy who wants to kill you. Aren't you anxious that something terrible might happen to them?” he asked, playing with my emotions. “I'm the Alpha Queen of the werewolf community. I know what I'm doing, Ashton. You're insultin
I wish I had known how to express how mad and irritated I was when my children decided to be with their father. I didn’t know why Kairo seemed to like being with him, or perhaps he was desperate to inform King Edward they existed. It was my fault because I had a chance to inform him about them, but I decided not to tell him because the confusion kept striking in my head.Maybe it was my ego. I was surprised at the thought that he got Sarah pregnant when I was pregnant with his children, too. He became Sarah’s husband, and she was known as the future Lycan King. I couldn’t understand myself because I was fucking in denial."What's upset you, darling? I heard Kairo and Atticus would stay at their father’s house. Did you miss them?”I almost shrieked in fear when my mother talked behind me. She was faintly looking at me, and I noticed she seemed pale. My forehead creased because I noticed she was always sick.“I want to take them back here. But..” I paused and swallowed as I remembered h
