“Alpha Ashianna.” I saw a young woman blankly looking at me, walking closer to me without breaking our eye contact. I was anxious about the possibility of my sudden meeting with her, but Alice reassured me that she would win against them. She had light green eyes and a green tattoo on her nape. A sly grin came out of her lips, and she cunningly gazed at me without any fear in her eyes. She was one of them, but I didn't know why she accepted my invitation to meet me. My goal was to investigate the mastermind who liked to kill me. Based on what I had recalled, those assassins told me the mastermind was a woman. Despite my attempts to know more about them, I constantly ended up with the information that they were a group of assassins. “It's really surprising to hear you want to talk with me. You make me curious about your intentions; that's why I let you have a chance to see me.” she added, curled her lips, and roamed her eyes around like she expected me to attend our meeting with a l
“Alpha, are you sure you will let her work with us? I don’t think they can be trusted, especially because of their environment. She doesn’t tell why she knows her.” I heard my new beta tell me. I didn’t know what happened to Wayne since I didn’t find him after he got arrested. He might be dead.My father had strange rules, and that was to be loyal to our pack whatever happened, especially if it was a beta. We couldn’t tolerate betrayal. My father disliked the idea of being with someone who was working with our enemy. That was the reason he didn’t want to take me after he found out I was his daughter.He was skeptical, as he thought that I would choose King Edward over my family. He had a fight with my mother because I was in a different situation. I eventually understood why he needed to do that, especially since he was the Alpha King at the time.“I know I can trust her. She doesn’t like to be betrayed like me, so she won’t ever do that to me, even though she might lose her life in t
“Oh, you aren't surprised to see me? I'm guessing you will stomp your feet because you're annoyed at me. You don't think I escape and break out of the agreement after I'm fifteen minutes late?” Adeline commented, flashing her signature evil grin before she slowly walked closer to me. She gnashed her teeth, clenching her teeth, and let out a chuckle to hide her true emotions.“I know you will come to our meeting place so I don't think to act like a spoiled brat,” I answered, watching how she was walking, unhurriedly. My eyes flickered as I checked how she moved her feet and I noticed the color of her skin turned lack of color.“Most of my clients dislike it more whenever I'm late. They think I will run away from them.” Adeline murmured, hiding the pain she had endured silently. As I was staring at her, I realized was gorgeous but in a rogue way. For me, she was too cool and frank to anyone she had talked with. As my eyes roamed on her body, I noticed that she was malnourished. “I don
“Alpha, King Edward is here.” My Beta announced, making my heart rush pounding in my chest. My face was full of confusion as I was thinking what was the purpose of him to visit my pack. As I gently nodded my head, I stood up from my seat before I rushed towards the door.“Alpha Ashianna, where are you going?” she asked, so I halted from walking, confused as to why she was asking me. Of course, if King Edward was here, possibly he wanted to talk to me. I bit my lip to stop myself from getting frustrated because my wolf kept uttering her excitement to meet our mate.“You mentioned he visited our pack so what will you think where I am going?” I inquired back and crossed my arms over my chest. I could feel the annoyance crept inside me that led me to start being a bitch on her. What was happening to me? I felt like I couldn't control my emotions especially because I could easily irritated with someone.“He's with Kairo and Atticus.”“Oh, he brings them here?”“Yeah, Alpha Ashianna but th
My eyes flickered because of what he had said. King Edward wasn’t kidding, and I was sure he meant his threat against me. What I couldn’t understand to myself was why I was shocked to hear him say those words, especially since I had predicted he would be at war just to have them.He was desperate to have a child. Now that he knew he had a twin who would be his successor, he wouldn’t let me have them since I decided to hide them from him. I was one of his mistresses, and I knew the rules: once I got pregnant, he would get the baby, whatever happened.As I swallowed because of fear and anxiety, I felt how my chest tightened because of the glint of panic in my body. It was like I didn’t know what I was going to do next. We were talking to my children, whom I had taken care of for almost a year, and for me, I was the only one who had the right to have them.“Are you threatening me, King Edward?” I asked, and he sounded so mad at him. My voice cracked despite my attempt to stop myself from
King Edward left the pack without Atticus and Kairo's awareness. I didn't know how I would feel, especially when he gave me what I wanted, despite that he liked to be with my twins. I wanted to follow him, so he would have the twins for a while, but he was firm in his decision—and that was to give me the chance to think about our situation.I didn't know if he was like this since the moment I entered his pack. However, he made me think that I was the one who didn't want to be with him. I was damn scared to admit to him what I felt. He changed a lot; that was what I had noticed, which caught me off guard.I was flabbergasted that I felt I swallowed my tongue because of how he expressed his emotions to me. Maybe it was because he didn't know how to make me feel his feelings because he didn't know how to love someone, especially since he had never experienced it. If I could turn back the time, I would never regret escaping his pack because I met my biological family, but I would let him
"Atticus, stop crying; we will be back in his pack whatever happens. I know Mom will do what she says." I heard Kairo trying to calm his twin while we waited for the carriage to arrive. As I watched them being together, my forehead formed a crease when I saw how Atticus giggled despite the tears streaming to his cheek. I didn't know if he was really sad or not, but when he caught me looking at him, he sobbed so hard that he couldn't breathe anymore.Kairo, who was his protective brother, tapped his back with gentleness even more before he hushed him. He was so serious to the point that he looked back at me and scowled like I was trying to scare his brother."What are you doing, Mom? Did you see how upset Atticus is? You're scaring him." Kairo seemed upset before he turned Atticus around so he wouldn't ever see me. I shook my head because I was only curious about what they were doing.I took a deep breath as I saw the carriage arrive at the entrance of the pack house. I saw the guard o
As I opened my eyes, the white ceiling was the first one I had seen before I smelled the scent of the hospital. My forehead creased when I saw my mother lying on the couch, and she seemed stressed while her eyes were closed. I bit my lip to hide myself to make some noises and looked at her like I was trying to think about what happened. I was confused, as I couldn't remember how I ended up in the hospital because, as I remembered, I was in King Edward's room."Alpha Ashianna, we're happy to see you're awake." It was the pack doctor who snapped me by my thoughts. He gazed at my mother, who slowly opened her eyes and rushed towards me with fear in her eyes."What is happening to you? Did you even give yourself a rest?" She nagbed me. I bit my lip to suppress my laughter because she was crying."Mom, you don't need to worry about me because I'm fine! Where is Dad?" I asked."He's the one who started the investigation because the news came out in King Edward's pack, and Ashton is coming h
