* Ashley *
I must have overslept on the rest of the way to the Langston Palace and the worried thoughts that's been invading my entire mind throughout the evening or it must be dawn, added to the tiredness I felt. The unfamiliar surroundings when I opened my eyes have me wondered why I should be here, I must find a way to go home.
I remember that this room is next to the prince of the palace, where the two servants have helped me settled in last night. I didn't have my personal things that's why I have to wear the clothes they gave me. The room is twice as big as the suite I occupied back in the Hotel, but I would still choose my own place at the hotel than here.
I sigh and remove the covers from my body before putting down my leg in a soft and comfortable slippers. My gaze move
* Ashley *I don't know how the dinner ended but it was a bit awkward and I didn't have the chance to say what I really wanted to the Alpha King. He seemed to have manipulated the topic which is discussed around the table and Vincent did not even give a hint of the issue that I wanted to talk with his father. It was a bad idea thinking that I could communicate my way out of the two most powerful wolves that I've known.Five long years have passed and yet this creatures treat me like nothing happened. It feels like they knew that I was gonna come back."Are you alright Ash? Please let me know if there is anything that I could help you with."Carmela whispered beside my ear, which is funny because we both know that the wolves could hear everything she says. As they have a very sensitive hearing abilities. I'm sure they were listening to us."Yes I am, however there is something tha
* Prince Vincent *"I'm glad you and Carmela is getting along fine but I don't want you to be closer to her than me."When we reach in front of her bedroom I decided to let go of her hand in order to open her door. "What are you talking about? Carmela is a woman and she is very nice and kind why would you say something like that?"Her eyes turns wide while staring at me like I just told her to do something awful. "Come inside Ashley get some sleep, I will stay and watch you until you close your eyes."I step inside and urge her to move when she just stood still at the door frame. "No! don't stay. I have to get a quick shower and I can sleep alone. I don't need someone watching me in my sleep.""I am not asking for your permission Ash, now if you need to get a shower go ahead while I stay in the couch and wait."She frowned, perhaps wondering if she should fol
* Ashley *I'm not sure what made me woke up the following day however, I feel grateful that I am alone in the room when I open my eyes and look around me. I remember forcing myself to sleep last night while I know that Vincent is in the couch leaning his back and pretending to have fallen asleep.The brief kiss he gave me lingered in my lips as my right hand move to caress the soft spot where he planted me a kiss. He stayed until dawn when I though the would leave after the kiss, but he choose to stay. I just felt his presence left when it was almost three in the morning.A soft knock on the door brought me back to my senses."Yes, come in please.""Good morning Miss Ashley, your mother is here in the Palace. She is downstairs waiting for you."I gasp out loud, exciteme
* Prince Vincent *There's a tiny part of me who's not focus with my pals when our journey heading for the Eastern Region started. No matter how I feel, but I have to fulfill the task that my father has given me in order to assist the allied force of the East. A letter has been sent to us explaining how the rogues are disturbing the wolves of Alpha Li Jun and his pack. Theleader of their East seek the help of my father.We will reach the territory in exactly two days and three nights of journey on foot and then about five hours of expedition at sea. So I made sure that the warriors come preferred both mentally and physically.I did not notify Ashley that I was leaving but her face was the last thing in my mind before I left. She is my mate, this fact gives me more courage to finish this mission in the East as fast as I could. For my father and I has an agreement to obtain after this mission."The wea
* Prince Vincent *A huge villa standing at the top of the high landoverlooking the vast blue ocean is where we are staying. The Alpha house of the East exudes both power and luxury being built on that place. It has the majestic view of the sun in the morning and an exhilarating scenery when it sets before evening.It's been two days since we arrive but no threat has been experienced by our warrior wolves during the patrols on the boarders. The wolves of the Golden pack and the warriors under me are getting along just fine."Good morning your majesty, a pleasant day isn't it?"The soft voice coming from behind me made me turn around and see the beautiful face of Luna Chunhua, Alpha Li Jun's mate. Her small slanted eyes squinted against the bright light of the sun. She's dressed up in a printed summer dress fit for the weather in the East."Yes, You have the perfect view o
* Prince Vincent *"I told you not a step closer your majesty or both of them will lose their lives!"My legs freeze and my movements halt, I even wanted to stop breathing. His hands that hold the life of two significant individuals in the East shudders. I watch at Kira and notice how the blood is drained from her face. Shit! I must decide who I will save first before both of them disappears under my watch."I apologize Luna Chunhua."I murmured before moving faster than the wind and when the rogue blinks I grab Kira away, after scratching his arm who's holding her throat badly. The time almost stop when I took her in my arms and run outside of the house taking her at a safe place where the rogues couldn't find her. At the trunk of her father's car in a safety closed garage."Listen to me Kira, do not make any noise while you
* Prince Vincent *It's been three days since Alpha Li Jun left for the burial of his mate. I took charge of his pack while he is away and the first thing to be done is to know where the hide out of the rogue's leader in the East is located. I need to finish my task here and go back home."Your majesty, the rogue won't talk, it's been three days now. Worst is that some of them have given up the will to survive."Alex shook his head while Caleb sighed and I just sat on the chair thinking about our current situation. We need an information of that hide out now or we will be staying here for a longer period of time."Let it be, it's about time you stop pressing them to talk. I have a better idea in my mind."The eyes of the warriors and everybody in the function room are on me, wondering what I should say next."Why don't we let one of them go in a way he doesn'
* Prince Vincent *"Shut up!!"His loud voice took me by surprise, Alpha Li Jun raising his Alpha tone towards Kira his only daughter. It's obvious that he is talking to her because the next thing I hear is the loud cry of a little girl who was cheerful and happy with me, a moment ago. I gritted my teeth as the blood on my veins began to heat up and I felt a sudden kick inside my chest.I stood up through my chair and walk towards the door, then I quickly search for the door knob and open it, as I get out I hear him shout again. "Stop crying Kira! For God's sake your mother will not like it if you look like this!"I know I shouldn't interfere since this is a very private matter. However, I can't stop myself from caring for the little girl's feelings. Perhaps there is a part of me who remembers how I was neglected by my own father when my mother died. And this is what's happening to Kira.
