Sarah had a point. I wouldn't think she was trying to manipulate me. She only said what she was thinking that night. It was strange to agree with her because we used to fight each other, and hated each other. It seemed like we were not crazy bitches who came back to their sanities.That night was different because of the peace between us. I stared at the ceiling as my body was lying on the bed. I didn't want to think about what Sarah had said but I couldn't stop my mind from thinking about it.I recall I asked my mother about it but she denied I was adopted. I didn't know what I would believe in but the feeling I might be not his true daughter had a great impact on me.‘Alice, do you think I'm his daughter? What do you think about what Sarah has said?’I couldn't stop myself from asking Alice. She might know if I was adopted or not. I was waiting for her response but she didn't say anything but gave me a silent treatment. My wolf was heartless, I couldn't stop myself from overthinking
I couldn't stop myself from feeling guilty because King Edward forced himself to leave me in my room. I was scared that he might know what was the unnamed emotion in my chest. This feeling was illegal and it was like the loophole for my revenge plans on Alpha James and to my family.I grasped my dress, trying to calm myself. I overreacted but King Edward didn't say anything but obey what I wanted. He was like a child who was scolded by his mother.I thought he would use his authoritative tone so I would obey whatever he wanted. I thought he would force me to sleep with him despite the scent Lady Maureen had on him. There was a strange emotion in his eyes, shocked to witness how I reacted that way. I used to be calm and didn't bother to fight back but because of him, it seemed my confidence was molded.“Oh, do you hear what happened? It's Lady Maureen who slept with King Edward last night. I feel bad for Ashianna.” I heard the other concubines gossip about me. My expression turned sour
I heard the shout coming from the concubines as they tried to stop Lady Maureen from attacking me. I didn't flinch but looked at her in her eyes when she almost slapped my cheek. She gasped and stepped back. I noticed the fear in her eyes. “We are both a damn slut, Lady Maureen. You aren’t different from me because we are whores of King Edward. You don’t have the right to act like you’re higher than me. I’m not accusing you; it’s King Edward who went to my room and told me everything.” I gritted my teeth with so much anger. I tilted my head and proudly glared at her when I stepped forward closer to him. “We can directly ask King Edward if you want to know if he’s the one who tells me that," I added. Her nostrils almost flared when she heard what I said to her. She began to pant; anxiety was evident on her face. I saw how the Omega looked at me with discomfort. “You’re a story maker. I don’t see any reason why King Edward would go to your room to explain why he can’t sleep with you.
“Y-You...” King Edward couldn't utter his words when I bowed in front of him. His eyes glistened because of his fury toward me. My heart skipped when he growled as I looked at him in the eyes.”Your Majesty...” I whispered, acting as if I wasn't affected whenever he was growling like he was ready to attack me. My chest moved as I sighed to get some air because of how anxious I was.What I planned was like a suicide stunt. King Edward always treated me better than the other concubines, and I needed to use it as an advantage to get what I wanted.It was Lady Maureen who provoked me. I wanted to slap her with the truth that it was King Edward who told me what happened that day. And I knew she wanted him to say it in front of the concubines if I was telling the truth. The issue was totally small, but because of me, I would ensure she would regret insulting and humiliating me in front of anyone. My eyes glistened with tears, leaving him stunned for a moment.He closed his eyes, trying to c
King Edward was different. I used to think he was ruthless with me whenever we were sleeping with each other, but when we had sex, he was full of gentleness. I was curious why he seemed caring, but I didn't want to sound hypocritical by saying that I liked it whenever he was tender with me. I felt like fragile glass, and he was scared to break me accidentally.Whenever I squirted because of him, it was filled with a lot of emotion. He couldn't stop himself from giving me a kiss, especially when I decided to be on his top, grinding his cock and trying to control the pace of each thrust of our private parts. He seemed to enjoy my performance because he couldn't stop himself from moaning my name. I begged him to give me a deeper stroke. Naturally, it was good. I never thought I would experience this kind of care for him. King Edward changed me a lot and gave me the confidence to be strong and fight every woman who wanted to bully me. However, I didn't want to be dependent on him because
I heard the other concubines gasp after they heard what Marcus had announced. Lady Maureen widened her eyes, trying to roar at Marcus for humiliating her. Her cheeks blushed in shame as she glared at me, threatening me with her murderous eyes.As she stilled, she blinked her eyes, like she couldn't process what was happening to her. A grin plastered on my lips when she looked at Marcus again, like she was ready to protest.”Marcus, what are you saying? I don't see any reason to arrest me. Did King Edward hear some lies coming from Ashianna? I'm one of the Lycans, yet he's trying to save her ass?” Lady Maureen gnashed her teeth when she pointed her finger at me. She laughed with mockery, as if she were the hidden victim between us.“Lady Maureen, you have the right to defend yourself if it's not King Edward who wants me to arrest you. However, King Edward is the one who commanded me to charge you for breaking the rules here in the pack.”“We all know you're one of the Lycans here, but
Marcus' words haunted me, and I couldn't enjoy the day I was with King Edward. The thought that Lady Maureen might do something nastier to me made my heart skip because of anxiety. The truth was, Lady Maureen had her ways because she was one of the powerful Lycan women in the pack. She might have a connection with her family. I was stupid to think I could easily teach her a lesson by putting her in the torture room. She would be more resentful towards me. I needed to prepare myself; she would avenge herself for me. From the moment she dared to break the rules, it meant she had the boldness because she knew how her other backer worked.I had a feeling that my life wasn’t safe anymore because of them. The thought that I should be more vigilant and wiser because of her made me think I was the living prey she must not devour. As my heart pounded too fast, my breathing became so difficult that I experienced my chest clenching.“Ashianna, why are you upset?” My body froze when I heard Kin
King Edward didn't stay for so long when someone fetched him because the meeting suddenly started. He left me alone in our room and let me have his permission to check the area. I hadn't wasted the time especially since it had been long since I was allowed to leave the pack.As I roamed around, I saw how beautiful the scenery was, it was breathtaking. My heart fluttered when I saw the garden of red roses. I noticed some women were walking near the premises.I enjoyed every hour I had peace with no one. As I stepped inside the extravagant banquet, my body stilled when I saw my sister, Ashra, laughing with her friends. There was an Omega beside her, who was taking care of her baby.“Oh! Ashra, I know Alpha James is too blessed to have you in his pack.”“Yeah, that's why we need to always remember how important the mate bond is. Aside from that, intercourse with our mates, ensures we will conceive the child. It's the bond thing.”My forehead creased when I recalled Ashra never mated with
