[KIMBERLY]She was seventeen so I assumed she would understand, she was the first I called into my study as soon as I returned from the hospital.She was holding a cheerful smile which made me contemplate whether to tell her the truth or not. But it would be disastrous if she heard it from someone else.“Mum, you have been gone for two days now. Did you go to meet daddy?” she raised a brow as she sat beside me.I squeezed out a smile and caressed her cheek softly.“My sweetheart. I left yesterday and not two days ago, did you miss me that much?” I said in sarcasm while raising my brow and she chuckled.“You know I miss you super much. But I miss dad more, when will he return with Drake?” she questioned anxiously, while staring at me and I thought it was the right time to tell her the truth.The worse was pain but aside that, it would relieve my guilty conscience.“I don’t know for Drake, I will keep in touch with his tutors but as for your dad, he isn't coming back.” I informed her se
[KIMBERLY]The Omegas dug the hole where their Alpha, Lord Ashman, would be laid. The other servants took care of the moody decoration in the pack and all through that period everyone must wear black to signify respect, pain and sorrow.I was wearing a black gown and staring at Ashman’s picture frame. He has been laid in the costly coffin though I couldn’t look at him any more, I made do with the picture frame.Fortunately, Ashley has settled down though she insisted on seeing Drake after the funeral.I sighed and whipped Ashman’s frame with the back of my hand.“It still feels surreal, you know.” I said through my sniffles, I couldn’t control the tears from rolling down my cheeks.“I can’t believe I will be leaving the rest of my life without you.” I cried bitterly before placing the frame on the table.Soon, someone knocked on the door and stepped in. I turned around and it was Andrea. I quickly whipped the tears off my face before staring at her.“Were you crying again, my lady?” s
BONUS CHAPTER: ANDREA“What is happening? Is this family cursed?”“Lord Ashman died a week ago and Lady Kimberly kicked the bucket.”“I feel so bad for their poor daughter, what would become of her?”“Don't you have anything better to do?” I shunned the servants curtly after hearing enough of their gossiping, they shivered in shock, bowed and left.I sighed heavily and turned to Axel who was behind me.“Any luck?” I raised a sly brow and he shook his head.“Ashley has been in a coma for two days now as a result of shock, and Lady Kimberly isn't responding to treatment. We need to think fast.” I said, looking petrified and confused.Aside from being the family maid, I knew nothing about leadership. All I did was take care of them, Axel unexpectedly became my protector.The elders are agitating about the Alpha position and Ashley wasn’t in her right state to take up such responsibility.No matter how we tried to keep Lady Kimberly’s health failure away from them, there are still unruly
[KIMBERLY]My head hurt really bad and my eyes felt so heavy.Was the past happening to me again? The whole sleeping and waking up in a wonderland.I wanted to return home. I missed Ashley. I wanted to mourn my husband satisfactorily.I begged the moon goddess inwardly because that was what I learned to believe in before I gradually opened my eyes.The place was strangely familiar, the scent taking charge of my nose and the chamber. A big smile spread on my lips at the sigh of Ashman’s picture hanging on the wall.“I’m back.” I said inwardly, still trying to control the excruciating pain I was feeling.“My lady!” a thin voice cried out and rushed over to me, I didn’t need to be told who it was because we have spent so many years together that I could guess her footstep.“Andrea.” she embraced me softly, sobbing on my shoulder and I stroked her back.“I thought you were never going to wake up. I was so afraid.” she said through her sniffles and I chuckled.“I will never leave you or my
[ASHMAN]2 HOURS BEFORE THE ACCIDENT…“You are about to enter the wrong car, you know that right?” he raised a brow at me, for some reason he looked strangely familiar.Almost around Drake’s age yet strong and intimidating.I was lured into coming to the wrong place and preparing for a fake battle, the person wanted my head and his plan was about to fall into place.“Why are you telling me this and who are you?” I asked anxiously while facing back again.It’s only a matter of time before my pursuers will get close to me. I wondered if he was their puppet to make me while away my time until they got here.“You don’t need to know my name because I can find you. Are you willing to accept my help?” he asked scornfully, he was so bold and disrespectful. If I was in a better position I would have given him a better slap.“What’s your gain?” I raised a brow anxiously, after all nothing good comes for free.“Your daughter, I want to marry her.” he said seriously and I was shocked.Wait. He kn
[KIMBERLY]“No. My child will never marry someone that she doesn’t love!” I disagreed with him.“Is this what you brought after coming out from the death trap? Why do you always bring issues whenever we are together.” I cried out pitifully and he shook his head.“Daddy, we miss you. Can you please stop joking with us?” Ashley tugged his shirt and he dragged it away from her hold.“I’m sorry, Ash. I had to sell your forever in order to keep my life.” he said, maintaining his posture with no expression on his face.I thought he had changed. An old beast will always be a beast, no matter how much time is spent on trying to tame it.“You are wrong.” I said boldly.“If this is going to happen, we will have to divorce.” I said seriously.“Kimberly Michael-Ville!” It has been a while since I heard him call me by my full name. He looked petrified and annoyed, staring at me in anger.“Don’t you dare, ever, think about that!” he threatened me in ire.“You also shouldn’t consider marrying my dau
[ASHMAN]“Forgive me, I failed to introduce myself.” He began.“I’m Alpha Wex, the new leader of Oasis Dawn pack.” he said sternly, for a young man he was too proud which irritated me.“Oasis Dawn pack?” I exchanged weird stares with Kimberly who also looked confused and speechless.We have never heard of such a pack, not as though we have signed any request form that has to do with the new pack establishment.“Do I have the right to propose to your daughter? He curled his lips, asking disdainfully.“No.” Ashley’s voice resonated in the atmosphere, we turned to her.“I’m not getting married to you, Wex.” She strongly disagreed.“Baby…” Kimberly tried to hold her back but she refused.“He is my course mate in the university and also a bully. He is one of those guys I despise so much. I can’t get married to him!” she rebuked in anger.“Do you have a say in this matter, Ash?” he scorned her mockingly and she rolled her eyes in disgust.“I’m never going to marry you!” she pointed a finger
[KIMBERLY]ONE YEAR LATER[KIMBERLY]"I really don't believe him. Why was he arrogant at first? I already despise him now, I'm sorry." I batted my lashes as I walked away from Ashman, he followed me. I leaned on the edge of the window, he wrapped my waist with his stout arms."He has already agreed to wait and change. He will wait until our daughter is eighteen and we accept him." He said softly so close to my ear, I smirked."Talking about ages .." I turned to him."When do you plan to bring Drake back? It's been more than twelve years now, Ash." I paused sadly."I know he isn't our real child but he is still someone I care about dearly." I explained to him meticulously."I will tell you the truth babe." He pulled his hands away from my waist and held my hands. We locked gazes, staring at each other."Drake is on a mission. Since I knew he was the only one that could take over my position rather than Ash, I had to send him somewhere." He began.I became anxious and interested to know
