*Ashley *
Consuming a large cheeseburger and fries with a cup of coffee feels like too much to handle. I have missed this kind of food for many years since I have been eating healthy after finishing school years, myself to only eat vegetables, chicken, and fish. However, the situation made me change my appetite for that day.
"I'm glad you like the stuff I ordered."
His voice cut my thoughts off and I turn my head sideways to answer him.
"Nothing is more palatable if you haven't eaten in more than twenty-four hours."
Then I shrugged my shoulders and watch the road when he stays silent on the steering wheel. My mind refuses to think about what just happened a few hours back. Now I owe him my life, he saved me. If it weren't for him I would have not survived the rogues.
My eyes are getting heavy as I continue watching the view outside his car and it did not take
* Prince Vincent *It is almost dawn, I was awakened by the scent of scarlet poppies. The smells that awakens my blood, getting into my deepest emotions of wanting to be devoured by my wolfish desire. So I got up from my bed fully aware that Ashley is just in the other room, sleeping. Inhaling the air sharply I put some clothes on and quickly open the door of my bedroom.The huge clock hanging on the wall pointed at about four am in the morning and I have no choice but to take this body somewhere else or I am going to end up in her bedroom, fulfilling the call of my flesh. My feet took me to the exit door of the guesthouse, unlocking it carefully.My neck motioned to look at her bedroom once more before I left the house. I am going to send someone to make her a good breakfast before she wakes up, I'm sure by then she will be hungry. The room I have in the Palace is probably as big as the guest house that she is staying a
* Ashley *I woke up to the smell of bacon and fried rice in the air, so I got up and look around the unfamiliar room. My mind went back to the previous hours, I am in a guest house. I came here last night with Prince Vincent, is he the one cooking? The thought of him dressed up in an apron while cooking something in the stove kinda looks weird. I move my legs towards the door of the bathroom and did a quick shower before deciding to get out of the room.There are two luggage outside the door, which I'm guessing as my personal belongings. I took them in and opened one. Finally, I could wear my own clean set of clothes. I decided to put on a fresh cotton dress that falls above the knee."Good morning Miss Snipes! Sorry to barge in but your door is open."I turn around from looking at myself in the mirror when a female voice greeted me. A middle-aged woman wearing a genuine smile on her lips looked at
* Prince Vincent *I know she's upset, the business of her family is about to be thrown away. It was her father's legacy and her mother worked so much to keep it this far. For some reason, I never wanted to suggest something that can't be done. I could buy the entire building and give it back to her but I am sure she will not agree knowing how righteous her mindset is."Come on Ash, don't make this day so bad for both of us. I have to leave and be on a mission very soon so let us make this day at least a little worthwhile."Her eyes are misty when she looks up at me, a little bit surprised by the information. Then for a moment, I thought tears would fall from those beautiful and bright almond shape eyes but she manages to push them away."Where to your majesty?"Her interest changed and her voice sounded genuinely interested in my journey. It would be nice if I could take her wit
* Prince Vincent *The long journey from the Langston palace into the Western region takes almost two days. It was tough to be on a voyage reckoning about what I declared to her when I left. What if she leaves? Then I would be left alone for the rest of my life. It would mean to the pack that their Prince was rejected by his mate. Am I going to find another one or is she the only one for me?I gave her the final decision on the fate of our love, if she leave for the city, I would still keep her safe by sending the royal pack warriors around her for protection. My enemies haven't all vanished, I knew there are more of them out there. Waiting to get their hands on the only weakness that I have."Your majesty, we have just arrived."Maleficus steal my attention from thinking about Ashley and the last conversation we had before I left. Finally, we have arrived at the West Region.The
* Ashley *"Oh, mom! I've waited for you all day, what took you so long?"It was almost nightfall when my mother came and visit me at the guest house. We talked over the phone and plan to meet today. I am ready to go but my heart feels heavy, something incomprehensible is bothering my heart. I need her to tell me what's the best thing to do.Her hands tightened around me as she answers my question. "I am not alone sweetie."The door opened wide as soon as she finished the short sentence and the tall figure of the great Alpha King Jack entered the house. Suddenly the surrounding feels small for the two of us with his presence being added."How are you doing Miss Snipes? I'm sorry to be interrupting your mother and daughter moment nevertheless, your mother and I have a brief meeting this morning."His hands gestured to make us all sit on the couch inside the li
* Prince Vincent *The Alpha house stood on a highland surrounded by tall concrete fences and guarded by several warrior wolves from the west. It's a three-story mansion with a vast garden and a wide parking space. It looks newly built, I haven't seen the place since my last visit."Welcome to the Alpha house your majesty, I spent days and nights finishing this comfortable place so that the next time you visit you could sleep comfortably in."I looked around and see the gates slowly open and our vehicle gets in. The flattery in his voice did not impress me."Marvelous! You did well Alpha Rio! This looks great, thank you for building such a beautiful place for your nephew."His eyes widened and his gaze looked away, he did not comment on my praise. Bringing up his nephew into the conversation makes him upset so quickly."Such a lovely Alpha house indeed!"Malef
* Ashley *My luggages are all packed and are settled at the back of my mother's car. As soon as we are settled in the car her driver started the engine and we head out followed by a pickup truck with four warrior wolves escorting us until we reach our destination. It doesn't feel frightening to be out there alone knowing that these wolves are going to protect us."I hope you are happy with the decision you made Ash, you know we are not aware of the enemies of the Prince if they are to attack us after the warriors leave."I turned my head toward her, she was looking outside the window. She's more upset that I left the Prince than the fact that we could be in danger, I know that for sure. But I don't want to say something that will add to her feelings."I'm sorry mom, I just want us to live a normal life again. I think that we will be alright since Prince Vincent assured me that the monster wolf and t
* Ashley *I felt my whole body burning up and the sweat comes out of my pores all over. The pain is killing me, and yet I couldn't say anything. I am half awake and half asleep at the same time but I could feel the people around me. I can hear their voices talking in the room.My mother who I am sure is the one holding my hand, is trembling in mixed emotions. The doctors are probably the people she's talking to, there are two of them. I hear their worried voices discussing about my condition."What happened to my daughter doc? Can she survive this?!""Yes of course Mrs. Snipes, do not worry so much and pray for a fast recovery. Some humans die after a wolf's bite but she displays a hundred percent survival. So I guess we are very lucky!""Oh, thank heavens for that doctor!"Wait, are we in the City or back in Langston Palace? I couldn't open my eyes yet. My
