ASHLEYLife became tough again. The few days of happiness were over and I was back to being the family slave. I woke up before 5 am to begin the chores lined up for me. I had to be in school early to avoid Jasmine's punishment. Since Alpha Hendrix and my mum were around, I had no reason to arrive at school late. Now they were out of town. I knew Carson would no longer carry me in his car. I had to trek. On the other end, there was Jasmine who had not been able to punish me for days. I knew it infuriated her and she would be extremely glad to deal with me. And the Jasmine I knew would triple whatever punishment there was for latecomers.I quickly rushed through the chores and prepared breakfast. By the time I was done, the triplets were downstairs, ready to eat. So far, I have been able to avoid being beaten. And I wished I could keep it that way. My wounds healed completely, thanks to my fast healing ability. I thought of how faster it would have been if I was an Alpha or a Beta. A

ASHLEYAs soon as the bell rang for the lunch break, I rushed out of the class. I was extremely hungry, all I could think of was grabbing something to eat. I walked into the cafeteria and all eyes turned to me. Even though I had gotten used to their spiteful stares, I could not understand how they never got tired. I kept my eyes straight, trying to find where Anita would most likely be seated. She had asked me to meet her at the cafeteria, so we could have lunch together. Just then my wolf snarled and I sensed a familiar presence. The hairs on my skin stood and goosebumps serenaded my body. My senses became extremely heightened, I could tell danger was close. My eyes widened and I turned sharply. Who was here? Fuck me!The triplets were seated on the right side of the hall, looking relaxed and chatting casually. The triplets were in the cafeteria? Usually, they would ask someone to buy them food. It was completely unexpected that they would be there a that time!I could feel s

ASHLEY“Axel…” I mouthed as I stared up at him, wide-eyed. Axel stared back at me. His eyes mirrored the contempt he felt for me. I retreated from him, while I still sat on the floor. His chest rose and fell, as he let out a gush of air from his lungs.I watched as his eyes traveled all over my body. He looked at my wounds closely. His eyes flooded with satisfaction when he saw how much my body was bruised. “You could have gotten me killed,” I said, trying to cover my wounds from him. “Why do you think I pursued you? Huh? Why!”His thunderous voice echoed through the forest, causing me to shudder. I swallowed, my eyes still on him. I thought of everything Anita told me earlier. Axel wanted to kill me. But why did he want me dead? I suffered so much maltreatment from him, yet I did not report him to his father. I did not even mention anything to my mother. What exactly was the problem?I needed to know what this was all about. I let out a gasp, gathered my courage, and asked him.

ASHLEYIt was past seven when I sprang up from my bed and rushed out. I could not just let the whole day end without a single fight. I was going to hit the door until someone came and opened it. I went straight to the front door and began banging it hard. I held onto the knob to twist continuously alongside banging. I almost lost my balance as the front door flew open. Bastards! They finally decided to open it. I ran out and looked around. Whoever opened the door was probably still hanging around. I needed to ask for my phone, but there was no one. I dashed into the kitchen to see if the back door had been unlocked too. I held the knob firmly and twisted. Immediately the door flew open. Those fools had succeeded in ruining my plans for my birthday. My hate for the triplets tripled. To think they had made my birthday a nightmare. I stepped out into the backyard and looked around. Just then, I saw my phone by the window. I rushed and grabbed it. I tried to check for missed calls fro

ASHLEYAnita's words came as a shock to me. I didn't expect her to challenge Axel's command. But apparently, she wasn't as scared of him as I was. We all turned as she moved closer to us. Her steps were bold and purposeful. She stopped in front of Axel, with her hands on her waist. “Why would you take her away? What do you think you are doing?” she asked. I watched Anita's eyes change from their usual cool green to a blazing yellow. Her eyes flashed as she stood up to Axel, not batting an eyelid. She ran her eyes over the three of them with utmost disgust. “After everything you put her through! You all stand here like you are under some spell and you want to take her away? Listen, not on my watch!” she said pointing at them. My eyes enlarged in shock. I blinked repeatedly to signal Anita to calm down but she paid me no attention. She moved over to where I was and pulled my hand from their grip. Then she held me firmly and dragged me to her side. But Brody held on tightly. “You ca
