Dante walked into the dinning room with a cart containing food only to see Kyle walking away. He left the cart and walked towards Ashley with a blank look on his face. "He just arrived less than ten minutes ago. Why is it that he is leaving already?" He mused to Ashley but she said nothing in reply. He stopped talking and glanced at her gloomy face. He needed no one to tell him the father and daughter had ended on a bad note. "I'll clean up the table." He said and walked out of that room as soon as possible. "Dante has been nothing but helpful since he came. You should be a little nicer to him at least." Marcellus who had been watching them from the balcony said. Ashley didn't look up at him as she chose to ignore him. "Giving me the silent treatment won't change the fact that the burning desire in the pit of your stomach won't stop. If we don't consummate, you won't be at peace." He said again. He went silent when he saw Cassie walk in. She probably didn't notice Ashley's sour
EverMore AcademyHeaven sat in her office going through some pictures when the door was pushed open. She glanced up at the intruder and frowned deeply. Taylor walked to her table and stood over it. "Principal Heaven, why is it that Cassie, Ashley, and Keller get to leave the school whenever they want and you turn a blind eye to it?" Heaven sighed despondently. Taylor had been trying so hard to cause trouble ever since Ashley and the others left. No matter the explanation she gave to the girl, she always found a loophole. "I already told you times without numbers; a guardian requested they come with him. The rules of the school include leasing the students if their guardians request so." Heaven explained again .At this juncture, the door was pushed open and Taylor glanced back to see it was done by a handsome student. He waited until the door fully opened before stepping foot into the office. "I'm sorry, Taylor but I have to ask you to leave." Heaven said with a stern face. Taylor
"Dispatch men to find and bring me the culprit. I need to retrieve the relic myself!" Drexa commanded, her temper rising. Crassus shuddered at the murderous intent he saw in her eyes. He had seen how careful she was with the relic and often wondered why she loved it more. Although it was a colourful dragon relic, he still didn't think it was as priceless as she made it to look. Nevertheless, he nodded and left the room as quickly as he came. Kyle watched Drexa's expression with a slight frown. He had agreed to help Ashley and had her sneak in before coming to discuss with Drexa in order to keep her senses with him. Otherwise, someone with a keen sense of Drexa would've noticed there was someone going through her things. He had asked Ashley several times what it was she wanted but the girl said nothing. But with the expression on Drexa's face, he was beginning to think twice about his decision. What if Ashley was caught? The look on Drexa's face signified she'd kill whoever dare
The dinning room became silent as none of them actually knew about the shared power after mating. "You all really have no idea?" Drexa asked, pretending to be shocked, "Well, Ashley is destined to be powerful and will become even more powerful after being marked by her mate. The mate also stands to share her powers with her. Their lives become connected." "So you're trying to say Ashley will be in danger if anything happens to her mate?" Kyle, who was the first to catch onto the meaning of her words, asked and Drexa nodded. Ashley locked eyes with Drexa again. The woman knew way too much about her that it felt like she had been watching her the whole time. "I think I need to inform Rebecca of this." Ashley said regardless but Drexa scoffed. "And who said Rebecca doesn't know about it? I mean, do you really think she'd be that kind that she'd accept to house an Alpha who hated vampires and almost rejected you as his mate?" Chad stopped eating and grabbed the serviette next to his
Pegasus Bar As soon as Marcellus walked into the bar, he felt a pair of eyes on him but despite looking around to see who it was, he didn't see anyone. He stared towards the direction Ashley had taken before moving to the counter. "A glass of stronger vodka, please." He called out to the bar man who took out a bottle of vodka and a glass. Marcellus sat quietly in the bar, glancing at the direction Ashley took every now and then. When thirty minutes elapsed, he realized something was wrong and quickly left the counter but not without placing some dollars on the counter. He walked towards the direction only to notice it was pitch dark but thanks to his wolf sight, it was as bright as daylight in his eyes. As he walked further, he noticed the numerous doors on the wall with female diagrams on them, signifying it was the female restroom. He stopped at one of the doors which seemed to be slightly different from the rest. Turning the door knob, he got in and closed the door gently.
~Ashley~What? Marcellus hadn't even marked me yet and his pack already feels I'm their Luna. So ridiculous. "I know what you're thinking but it doesn't seem to be Burning Heart Pack. Actually, they are three of them from different packs and they are really adamant you're their Alpha's mate." Rebecca explained, also confused by the whole issue. "Please tell me the moon goddess didn't make my life even more miserable by giving me numerous mates?" I begged, walking out of my room and closing the door gently behind me. "I hope not." I heard Rebecca say beside me and once again, my mind jolted back to the discussion with Drexa. "Rebecca, is there something you're not telling me?" I suddenly asked and I felt her slow down but picked up the pace almost immediately. I desperately wished she'd be more forward with me and tell me everything but just like I expected, she played it off with the words, "Don't worry, Ashley. Everything will be fine." I said nothing until we got to the stair
When Marcellus got to Rebecca's Compound, she found Ashley drinking a cup of coffee. The sun was really hot and he was left wondering what kind of system she had.Ashley had noticed someone staring at her, when she raised her eyes and saw it was Marcellus, she scoffed. "I was beginning to think someone had kidnapped you." Marcellus chuckled lightly. He felt the need to remind her she had ditched him at Pegasus Bar but got stopped by her. "You don't have to say it. I know I ditched you at Pegasus Bar but that was for a good course. Besides, I didn't mess around, otherwise, Rebecca would've come for my head already."Marcellus chuckled and walked closer to her. He drew back a chair and sat on it. Instead of moving away like she had always done whenever he sat close, Ashley continued seating. At the same time, the burning passion in the pits of their stomachs arose again but neither reacted to it. Ashley reached under the table and took something, then she slid it over to him. The ma
Everyone turned to look at Damien who stood without turning to look at the child. Fearing the man didn't hear, the young child ran to him and grabbed him by his trouser leg. "Alpha Shane, I'm so happy you're alive." The child said again and broke down into tears. Others were beginning to think the child had made a mistake and was about to move him from Damien when the man looked down at the child. He extended his hands afterward and took him into his arms. Seeing the dirty condition of the child, his eyes reddened and once again, he was reminded of the coward who did nothing but run while his pack was getting attacked. But weren't the pack members supposed to follow their new Alpha?"I knew you looked familiar. Shane Hobb, the son of the late Alpha Shaw." Gray mumbled walking back to where he stood. Claire was the most confused of all. So the man who had saved Marcellus was the son of the very man who led the attack to destroy their pack. "Everyone thought you were dead, Shane?"
