“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
"Alpha Ashianna!" It was Ashton who rushed towards me when he saw me inside King Edward's room. The worry in his face washed out for a second before he looked at his Uncle. He took a deep breathe before he took a seat. "I can't believe someone tries to kill my Uncle!""Ashton, what happened? I don't see any reason for King Edward to come in my pack. We don't have the agreement you will let them especially he's with the twins." I snapped. I darkly darted on him so he gazed at me as if he were waiting for me to calm down. I pursed my lips as I couldn't control my emotions because of my pregnancy."I don't know if he will bring them in your pack. If I know, I will prevent it. Uncle asks me to spy on Alpha James territory since he finds out he's been trying his luck to let the communities clash. Since I know the twins will be safe in his hands, I let them stay with him so he can act as their father." Ashton explained, but I noticed how he regretted obeying what King Edward stated. He chec
“Alpha Ashianna, why did you say those things? We both know that you and my uncle aren't on good terms.” It was Ashton. He rushed towards me after King Edward had fallen asleep, but he ensured I was always beside him, hugging me tightly like he was scared that he might lose me.My expression turned stoic as I looked at him, and I noticed how he seemed serious about knowing what was on my mind. I took a deep breath because I had to marry King Edward since I got pregnant, and I didn't want the councils to know about it.“I'm pregnant,” I answered. I watched how his serious face turned with confusion, like he couldn't understand how I was possibly pregnant.“Alright. Are you telling me that my uncle is the father?”“He's my mate, and he's the only one I have sex with.” I explained. His eyes widened, like he was shocked to hear those words coming from my mouth. He pursed his lips as he looked away at me before he touched his chest.“Alpha Ashianna, I thought you hated my uncle, but you're
