ASHLEYI woke up the next morning feeling a lot better. I yawned and stretched, I sure had a good sleep. And then I realized what was going on. I was in my room, on my bed! I looked around, wondering what was happening.I placed my hand on my forehead to feel my temperature. I was probably hallucinating. There was no way I had slept in my room. I tried to rack my brain to understand what could have occurred. The memory of last night came rushing. I had been in the rain all night. I could not recall going into my room.The only logical explanation was that someone brought me into my room after I must have passed out from the cold.I became worried. What if this was a set up? What if Brody brought me here to annoy Axel so that I could get punished? What if Axel came in to hit me?I rushed off from the bed and adjusted my clothes. Then I tiptoed to the door. If I was going to get punished, I wanted to be aware of it. As I got close to the door, I heard voices arguing. I leaned closer to

ASHLEYLife was back to normal at the palace. Everyone went about their daily activities without any clash.The next morning, we gathered at the dining table to have breakfast. It was a culture in the home for everyone to eat meals together. I saw a dimension of the triplets that only existed when their father was around. They were really polite towards me, especially when their father or my mum was present.The table was served and we were having bread, tea and scrambled eggs. Everyone ate in silence. Whatever was said was done through eye movements. Except Alpha Hendrix, of course. He loved engaging in conversations during meals.I happened to sit beside Alpha Hendrix at the table and he seemed to direct most of his talks at me. First he talked about the challenges he faced when he was trying to seal his ‘big deal'. From there he spoke about how challenges were normal in life and one should never give up.“Pass me the milk, Ashley,” he said, pointing to the jug of milk.“Sure,” I sa

ASHLEYI was getting closer to my eighteenth birthday. Each new day came with a glimmer of hope. I looked forward to my birthday with so much optimism. It wasn't just another birthday, it was my independence day.As usual, we were gathered at the table for breakfast. And Alpha Hendrix was seated at his usual spot, looking larger than life. I admired how his presence filled a room before he even spoke. He was the largest wolf at the table, so it was normal for him to command respect.It had become a ritual to discuss something at the table. Only today's topic caught me off guard.Alpha Hendrix suddenly stopped eating, “so tell me Ashley. What's your dream car?” he asked.I turned to him with a creased brow. Why were we talking about my dream car?If I knew Alpha Hendrix well, he probably wanted to know if I had a good knowledge of cars. Or if I had any plans for my future at all. For my reputation’s sake, I could not bear to mess this up.“Well I like quite a number of cars but the Hon

ASHLEYI couldn't raise my head for the first few minutes. I stared wide eyed at a picture of me on my desk.Naked pictures!How?Just when I thought the whole Derrick saga would be laid to rest. Here it was, staring me right in the face. The picture on my desk revealed very large boobs with a guy's hand squeezing them.It had my face!My boobs were not even that big! Why did they go so far to make my life miserable? Just beside it was another one of a completely naked woman. Again, my face was attached to it!My wolf began prancing. I was in a dilemma and there was no easy way to get out of it. I hated that I had ended things with Derrick, yet I was still facing the consequences.I opened my mouth to speak, but I was growling instead. The agony of what was going on tore at my heart so bad.Even more heartbreaking were the notes plastered on different parts of my desk. For some reason I could not understand, I read through every single note. I could not stop myself.You are just a sha

ASHLEYI walked up the stairs, headed to my mum's room. As soon as I walked in, I leaned into her embrace. We went over to the bed and sat down. One of the things I missed was my mum giving me head rubs. As soon as she started rubbing my head, I dozed off.I woke up an hour later to find her staring at me.“Mum,” I mumbled and placed my head on her thighs.“My princess. It seems you missed my head rubs,” she said, pushing my hair off my face.“Yeah, I did mum. I missed a lot of things and I am so so glad you are around now,” I said and wrapped my hand around her waist, while my head was still on her thighs.“I missed you too, Ashley. Now that we are having this conversation, I think I should let you know that I am traveling again,” she said.I sat up immediately, “what!”“Yes, baby. Alpha Hendrix and I have some important business to finish. I have to be present at a women seminar,” she explained.“How long will you be gone?” I asked, hoping it will only be a few days.“Two weeks,” sh
