WRITER'S POVAshley changed from her night gown to a pair of jeans trousers and a t-shirt when Xavier told her that they would be expecting some guests tonight. He didn't go into details to explain to her who the guests were, he only told her that she needs to get ready for their guests.Ashley was more than ready to see who her guests were. This will be the tenth time she was asking Xavier what was keeping the guests waiting."Don't worry, they'll be here soon." He assured her even though he knew those words won't calm her down.There came a knock on the door. A maid had gone to open it, while another came to Xavier's office to inform them that their guests had arrived. "I told you, they'll be here soon.""I never doubted you." She said to cover up.They exited his office, heading to the sitting room to see Xender and Juliana already sitting on the long sofa. Ashley stood surprised, she wasn't expecting it to be them coming. With the way Xavier sounded, she had thought it was a diffe
Ashley's PovI was looking at Juliana and the only thing that kept repeating in my head is the moaning sounds I was hearing from their room last night. It was more like a hunting daymare to me. I wasn't angry at her for doing what she did with Xender, I was more angry at Xender for breaking my heart.He told me that he loves me more, why then would he betray that trust I had in his words. He said nothing will come between his love for me no matter what, why then am I seeing some thing different?Even as we sat in the pizza store, I had lost the appetite to eat any thing. I just wanted to think, I want to believe what I had heard last night wasn't real but an act of my imagination.Juliana flicked her fingers at me, bringing me back to reality. And from the looks on her face, I can guess she's been calling me for a long time now.I sighed, looking at her bluntly. "What are you thinking about?" She asked."Nothing." I sighed again. "Are you sure you are alright?" She asked me."Yes, ju
Juliana's PovAfter we had talked about our feelings, I decided we should go to the shopping mall to have fun. After all the pain, the hatred and jealousy we shared, it was time we had fun with each other.She said she was tired of driving, so she decided I should take the wheel. This was my first time driving a Posh car. I had never even for once imagined myself in the car, to talk of driving it.We drove to the shopping mall. We weren't just gonna have a walk around, no. We were up to some thing other than just walking around. We paid for the playing center, we were gonna have the best of it today.We spent almost half of the day there, after that, we drove to the bar where I work. There, we drank to stupor, letting go of our worries and pains. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a brand new day for us, a new life to begin with.I thought I loved drinking, but not until I saw Ashley. She was on her fourth bottle, and yet, she was aiming for more. I thought werewolves never get drunk, I mean
Xender's PovI couldn't sleep after listening to what Juliana had said. It hurts me that she had to find out in a different way. I didn't expect she would understand the situation at hand, she even decided I should move on without her.But what made me happy the most is the fact that she has finally found her mate. At least, we don't have to separate with regrets in our heart.Ashley has always been the one in my mind, and getting married to Juliana wasn't my plan. I had only said that to give Xavier reasons I wish I knew. I never expected he would take it this seriously. When I said that, I noticed Ashley's mood changed from a happy one to a dad one. I didn't mean to make her cry, I never meant to hurt her feelings. As much as I love her, she does love me too. I never thought I would be loved like this.Ashley is the first, and will always be the first woman to win my heart so deep. She has done some thing not even Eleanor has done. It just took us a night to understand what we mean
Ashley's PovI sat on the couch watching TV when my phone beeped. It was a message from Xender. I was surprised he had sent me a message, I mean, how the heck did he get my number? I don't remember giving him my number, or could it be Juliana or Xavier?It's definitely not Xavier, because he'd probably ask him thousands of questions to justify why he needed my contact number, so it's no one else but Juliana.That bitch will do whatever it takes to get Xender and I together. Whatever it takes!I opened the message, reading through the writing. "Let's meet at the junction. I'll pick you up there. I've got some thing to discuss with you."I was hellish bored here, and I wanted every chance to go out. Xavier wasn't back yet, Juliana left around three in the afternoon. It's just me and myself here, watching movies that weren't interesting to me.I rushed upstairs to have a quick shower and change into some thing good. I phoned Xavier while I was applying my makeup, telling him that I was l
Ashley's PovWe held each other's hand until we got to the river bank. We stepped out of the car, Xender walked to my side. "It's been a long time since I came here. Years to be precise.""The last time I ever visited a river bank, I was only eight years old. I can't forget the memories. Thank you for bringing us here."He held my hand and we walked down the valley to the river bank. The smell of water filled the atmosphere, and I just can't stop myself from inhaling the smell."It's beautiful here." I complimented, squeezing my hands around my chest. "Yeah, it is."I stared across the river to the opposite city. It was a different pack from ours. I don't really remember the name but I have heard a lot about the pack. It wasn't a good one though, there were many killings. I also heard during the time of Xavier's father, they invaded the pack countless times. Most times, they appear as spies with fake identities, pretending to be one of us. When they learn the in and out of the pack,
Writer's POVThe moment seem to be an undying one as none wants to let go of the other. The kiss had gone from a passionate one to a deep hot kiss, almost to ecstasy where the two would be on each other, miles away from a normal chemistry.What stopped the kiss was a weird smell which tickled Xender's nostrils. "What's wrong?" Ashley asked, worried."Some one is here." He said, leaving Ashley in fear."Who is here?" She asked, but Xender was more attentive in finding the sound of the smell. "Xender, talk to me. Who is here?"He held her arm. "You don't have to be scared, you've got me." He assured her.He looked around in search of the smell. It was that of a human, but it doesn't belong to any one from his pack. It was that of another pack. "The scent is getting close.""Is it that of a human being?" She asked."Yes." Ashley's heart rose in fear as she too glared around the area. "Xender, I think we should get going now.""Not yet. The body is barely alive.""We don't know if it's a
Writer's POVXender had left to make the hospital payments. Ashley forces herself to sit up, but she still felt dizzy and it was pulling her down. The lady walks to help her sit by the edge of the bed. "Be careful." She said,"Don't worry, I'll be fine." She said,"The young master says I should keep an eye on you." Said the girl, letting go of Ashley who was now sitting on her own."You don't have to do every thing he says you should do, besides, I ain't a kid any more." She coughs. "By the way, what's your name?" She asked."My name is Vennesa Dan." She replied."Nice to meet you, Van. Okay with the name?" Ashley asked."That's what my mother always calls me." She smiled."My name is Ashley Wilkie." She introduced."Nice to meet you too, Miss Wilkie.""Just call me Ashley." She corrected. "Can I ask you a question?""Sure. Any thing.""We found you by the river last night, were you running from some one?" Ashley asked.Vennesa buried her face to the ground, like she was finding it d
