After the meeting was over Rafael was walking back to his room and was about to prepare a letter.
Now that Ashley had pointed it out he also noticed that the council really treated the pack like their lap dog.
He also remembered that before Ashley’s father had died he had agreed to protect several other packs and coven but he died before that and the covens were attacked and the council blamed it on Ashley’s father’s death.
Rafael clenched his fist.
Now that he thinks the council is actually stupid, people run after it because it is considered prestigious and all-powerful and whatnot.
But in reality, the council depended on Ashley’s father for many things.
And the reason why the council was considered so powerful was that it’s competitors that being the royal pure-blood alpha, refused to fight for power.
So Ashley’s this move will show the council who needs who.
This may invite conflict but this has to be done
Rafael smiled as he thought about this. Ashley had really changed.
“Rafael.” he stopped when he heard his name being called and he turned around and saw Sophy coming to him with a smile.
He smiled back at her and said, “what brings you here Sophy.”
Sophy smiled, “I was just passing by… by the way what was it that you and alpha talked about?”
Rafael remembered Ashley’s words.
“No matter what no one should know what we have discussed here, not even Sophy, anyone who discloses the secret will be severely punished.”
“Um… it was nothing Sophy, it has been solved,” he said to her.
Sophy’s smile was gone when she heard that and rage filled her heart but yet she kept her calm and said, “really? You can’t even tell me? We have been friends for so long and I have assisted you so many times!”
Rafale himself didn’t like this, hiding things from Sophy yes she has helped him and the others a lot and has many times given her input however Alpha’s orders were alpha’s orders and as a beta, he cannot go against Ashley so he said, “I am sorry Sophy but Ashley has told me not to say anything to you.”
Sophy looked at him and scoffed, “Oh… I see. I get it.”
“It’s not like I don’t trust you or anything it’s just…”
“No, No I get it Rafale I understand.” She said before she gave him a bitter smile and left with rage
Ashley Martin was going to die by her hands that were sure.
~~~~
A storm was coming and Ashley knew it.
And she was ready for it.
She stood before the mirror and smirked as she applied lipstick on her lips and brushed her hair as she was thinking about what was going to happen.
The council is not going to take her rejection nicely, it is going to be a blow to them and they are going to get surprise and then angry.
And Ashley was waiting for the storm to come.
After she was done getting ready she walked out of the room and met her mother outside.
Once Ashley reached the office and was greeted by Anna and the others greeted her.
Sophy had not said anything to her yet. She was quiet since yesterday as she should be.
Ashley and the rest went to the elevator and there they were met with Bryan.
As soon as Ashley saw Bryan her heart skipped a beat again when she saw that handsome, masterpiece of a man, standing right before her in a white suit.
She smiled as soon as she saw him and said, “Good morning Mr. Shaw.”
The others were a little intimidated by Bryan’s aura but Ashley loved it.
She loved everything about Bryan.
She stood beside Bryan and he looked at her, “good morning Miss. Martin.”
Ashley then pressed the button on the floor.
While Sophy was observing her.
The way Ashley smiled at Bryan and the way she was looking at him, she found it rather weird.
And now that she thinks many things didn’t make sense Why would someone as arrogant as Ashley would work for someone?
And that someone would be a human?
Even if Bryan was a powerful man and had a lot of influence and was extremely wealthy at the end of the day he was still a human.
Did Ashley develop a crush on him?
Or worse… is Bryan. Her mate?
Sophy’s eyes widened when she thought about that but then she shook her head.
If that was the case then why wouldn’t Ashely tell anyone in the pack?
Not even the elders?
When an alpha finds their mate then it is a matter of celebration for the pack.
She can very easily control Bryan’s mind and mark him but she didn’t, as she is the pure blood alpha she can control and dominate any species lower than her in the hierarchy.
That was why the true blood alphas were so terrifying.
Not even Ava?
Ava would never hide something like this from her.
Then was it something else?
What was it that Ashley was planning?
Suddenly she became too friendly and humble with others and was now working under a human taking orders from him.
What can make a pure-blood alpha like that?
What was Ashley really planning?
Sophy had a hunch that it was something not good and that she will have to do something about this.
Her plan was ruined from the day Ashely came to the party and now she has to think of some other way to make her original plan work.
Meanwhile, Ashley noticed Bryan, and she saw that he looked rather tensed and his eyes held a concerned look.
Oh, how she wished that she can know about what was bothering him and she can help him with that.
“We have a meeting today.” Bryan said to Ashley, “and I think you should attend it.”Ashley gave him a nod, “I will, but may I know what is the meeting about?”Bryan looked at her and smiled, “Well the meeting is important and it is with a client.”Ashley gave him a nod and walked ahead.The meeting was boring as always.But Ashley was paying attention to every detail, she saw the client who was an old bald man.Bryan had told her about him, he was a senior and highly respected person to be around and Bryan was trying hard to get a deal with him. His name was Vlad Nelson.Everyone was seated there and Sophy and her team were not there since they were not needed there.Ashley was here just to observe. Just to learn some things.But she felt someone’s gaze on her, and she turned to look at Vlad, the old man was staring at her.Ashley glared back at him.Vlad was looking at her with lust and sensuous gaze while Ashley was looking at him with anger and disgust.She was not someone who was
“ASHLEY!” Ava yelled as she barged into Ashley’s room.Ava looked mad, really mad, her eyes were red with rage and the way she yelled Ashley’s name almost the entire pack heard that.“What is it?” Ashley spoke to her, she still wasn’t calm and was still angry so her voice came out as rather cold and stern and Ava hated that Ashley was talking to her in such a ride way so she started to yell at her.“WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU! HOW CAN YOU BEHAVE LIKE THAT WITH BRYAN! DO YOU KNOW HOW ANGRY HE WAS!I WAS SHOCKED TO HEAR SUCH A CALM AND COMPOSED HUMAN TALKING LIKE THAT! HE TOLD YOU THAT THE CLIENT WAS IMPORTANT AND YET YOU FOUGHT WITH HIM!”Ashley sighed, “Will you just listen to me?”“SHUT UP! ARE YOU STILL GOING TO GIVE EXCUSES TO ME! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW EMBARASSED I WAS?!! WHY DO YOU LOVE TO MAKE ME FEEL SO ASHAMED WHY DO YOU MAKE MY LIFE SO TOUGH ASHLEY!I THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE GOING TO CHANGE BUT NO YOU ARE STILL THE SAME OLD LITTLE BRAT! IT WAS MY FAULT THT I EVEN TRIED T
“So this is where he is huh?” Amber asked as she came out of the car and stared at the building, the building was beautifully decorated and the two ladies were also well dressed for the occasion of the party.Both were wearing black dressed that reached their knee, Ashley’s dress was sleeveless while Amber’s was not.Ashley’s hairs were open and she looked stunning in the light makeup that she had done while Amber had tied a bun.Ashley spoke, “according to Rafale, the mother fucker is attending a party here.”Amber looked at her and smirked, and Ashley smirked back at her before the two walked toward the entrance.The two sisters look stunning and the way they walked was confident when they reached the entrance the guard asked for their names and Ashley said, “Ashley Martin.”The guard searched through the name but didn’t find it, “sorry I can’t find your na-”He stopped when Ashely smiled and looked into his eyes. The guard seemed to have entered a trance as she said, “it is there.”
=After everything was done Bryan started to walk towards Ashley who looked at him and she knew that Bryan was coming towards her, but she just gave him a look and walked away from there.Giving Bryan a signal that she was not interested in talking to him and this hurt him.Normally Bryan does not care what others think about him but for some reason, he did not like that Ashley thought he was a supporter of such cheap people like Vlad.He was not. He had genuinely thought that Vlad was a good person and nothing more f he had known that he was such a scum he wouldn’t have let him enter his company at all.He watched Ashley leave and heaved a sigh of disappointment, as he stopped at his place and didn’t go after her.He thought that since he had yelled at her in the public, then he should apologize to her in public as well.So he called his assistant Chris ansa and asked him to arrange a meeting with the office employees tomorrow first thing in the morning and to delay the meeting that
The next day Bryan did as he had promised. He arranged a meeting with his staff and was about to address them. After they were all seated, he came in the front and said in a calm and gentle voice with a smile on his face, “regarding the incident that happened with Mr. Nelson a few days ago, I have no come to realize that I have, actually punished the victim instead of the culprit.” The staff looked at him and they somewhat understood what he meant, Vlad’s incident from that party had gone viral on the internet and now many other females who have been a victim of him had come out and confessed to him. Bryan said, “I apologize to the female staff of the company for making them feel uncomfortable and for being so distant, I am sorry that you felt that you are not safe in the company and that you can’t approach me, I am sorry for that. But I request you all to please make a report of any case of sexual harassment if you experience or see it I will investigate the matter thoroughly. Be
A day had already passed and Ashely was anxiously roaming around in her room.She knew that a huge storm was coming and she had to be prepared for that.But what she was worried about the most was Ava and the pack elders.These two were her two hurdles.If these two found out that she had rejected to help the council and the needy then they were surely going to get very mad and might even send a message on their own agreeing to help them.Ashley is still not that acting leader. It is her mother and the elders, and they can send the troops and warriors.And Ashley was not going to let that happen, she was not going to let a single member of her pack die for the council.If the elders and her mother went against her then she would have no choice but to use her power over them and suppress them and take over the pack by force.She didn’t really want to do that but if worse come to worse she will use anything method to save the lives of her pack.The pack soldier’s only duty is to protect
Ava was dumbfounded, her mouth was slightly agape and her eyes were wide when she heard that.“What did you say?” Ava managed to say something, but her voice came out as shaky, her face was pale and her hands were cold.Ashley took a deep breath and said, “I am going to leave the pack if I don't get what is mine!”Ava suddenly clenched her fists and said, “do you have any idea what you are even saying right now!”Ashley sighed and said, “yes I know what I am saying, I am just asking for my place, my position, and my duty to be handed over to me and if I don't get that then my existence has no value at all.I would rather leave the pack!”Her leaving the pack would be the end of the pack.After her father’s death, the reason why no pack and not even the council dared to harm the pack was because of her existence because of the existence of the true blood alpha!A true blood just has to glare at someone and the person before them will be dead.A true blood alpha can defeat an entire pac
Amber just glared at Ashley, even though what Ashley said was totally right, she still hated the tone that she used, she sounded so self-centered and arrogant right now that Amber hated that.The tone that Ashley used made it sounded like Ashley was only thinking about herself and only herself and no one self.Like she wanted to rule and have authority which was fine because as Ashley said that she was born for it, but still Ashley sounded like she was someone greedy for the power even though that was a stupid thing to think about because Amber knew that it was not the case Ashley was not power hungry.Amber just sighed and said, “you know what? Do whatever you want what you said is completely true the pack is yours everything is yours, however if I ever felt like you are not a good leader then the choice of leaving will be mine!And I don’t really think that you really care but still… I thought I’ll just tell you.”As soon as Amber said that Ashley’s heart clenched and she got the fl
