“But—” she started, only to be cut off.

“Your wellbeing affects many lives,” Dane interrupted, his voice clipped. “The sooner you recover, the sooner I can reassure your father. Pay more attention to your health, Ashley, unless you intend to be a burden.”

His scolding was so sharp that the hopeful flutters in her chest withered instantly. To him, she was an asset, an important one, and he simply couldn't afford a loss.

“What’s the problem?” Dane asked the doctor, who was currently checking Ashl

    Four days passed without Ashley seeing Dane. Despite telling herself he was just busy, the thought unsettled her. Not even his shadow had appeared, and it felt less like work and more like he was avoiding her.Standing by the car door, Ashley’s eyes lit up as she watched Silas approach. “Is he coming?” She asked as soon as he got closer.“Alpha has something to do,” Silas replied. Ashley had expected that answer, yet disappointment still crept in, making her wonder what was really going on.“Again?” She asked, and Silas simply shook his head, as if to say there was nothing he could do.“Alright. Let’s go,” she said, her voice lacking its usual brightness as she stepped into the car.Meanwhile, from the balcony, a pair of indifferent eyes watched the car drive away, hands tucked into his pockets. It was Dane. As much as he wanted to finally hold her in his arms, anger still lingered…anger that she had hidden the truth from him, despite knowing he was searching for her. So he kept his d

    Dane walked out of the villa, making his way to the car waiting for him when Silas called, “Alpha,” his expression serious.Just as Dane turned, his gaze landed on Ashley, who was making her way out of the villa. She was dressed in a yellow sundress, slit at the thighs and off-shoulder. Her hair was tied up in a messy bun, her makeup light yet ethereal. Dropping his gaze to her bare collarbone, he felt the urge to cover it, his mind immediately drifting to a necklace. He had noticed she rarely wore one unless she was attending a special event.Lowering his gaze further, a raw desire stirred within him at the sight of the silver anklet laced around her ankle. Why was she looking more attractive today?“I am ready,” she said when she reached his side, her brows knitting in confusion when he didn’t respond. She began to feel small under his scrutiny and opened her mouth to speak when he finally said, “Get in. I will be right there,” earning a nod from her before she walked to the other s

    The following morning, in another room, Dane sat behind his desk, going through something on his computer while Silas stood before him.“What did Father say?” Dane asked.“He said you should consider the proposal and return to the pack to meet with them,” Silas replied, causing Dane to lift his gaze to him.“I deserve to be punished. The information was leaked by one of our men,” Silas added apologetically, lowering his head.Dane returned his attention to the computer. “What about Luna?”“She slept in Mr. Echabod’s room last night,” Silas said.Dane’s focus snapped back to him, his gaze turning colder.“Put my father on hold for now,” he ordered as he rose from his seat and headed for the door.Back in Echabod’s room, Ashley helped him out of bed.“I can take care of myself now. You can go. He might need you,” Echabod urged.“He does not need me. He has people around him. He probably would not even notice I am gone,” she said.Echabod sho

    “I hope you get well soon, Mr. Echabod. I will leave you two to catch up,” Dane said before excusing himself.Once he was gone, Echabod let out a deep sigh of relief and leaned back against the headboard.“Why are you acting weird?” Ashley asked.Echabod scoffed, finding it hard to believe she was truly unaware of everything that had just happened. Was she really that clueless, or was she pretending to be?“Did you really not feel the tension earlier?” He asked.She shook her head, staring at him in confusion.“Wow. You are unbelievable. I think I finally understand why it took you a whole year to realize Rowan and Elena were cheating,” he said.Ashley smacked his arm and shoved him lightly in annoyance.“What does that have to do with you acting weird?” She snapped.“I am sorry, okay?” He said with a snort, offering a playful apology.A few seconds later, Echabod’s expression shifted. “He is the one, right?” He asked.Ashley’s smile faded

    “Find him a good place and get him a doctor,” Dane ordered, then turned to leave.“No, please, let’s take him back with us. He won’t be safe if my brothers find out he is alive,” Ashley begged, her voice calmer now.“I will have some of my men stay with him,” Dane said, taking a step forward, only to stop when Ashley spoke again.“He can’t stay out here. At least until he gets better, let him remain in the villa. Please, I promise to behave if you let him stay,” she pleaded.Dane paused.Something about the way she asked unsettled him, though his face revealed none of it. She had fought him at every turn, resisted him even when her own safety was at stake, yet now she stood before him, lowering her pride for another man. He told himself it meant nothing. Even so, his jaw tightened almost imperceptibly.“Take him back to the villa,” he ordered without looking at her, then walked out of the alley.“Thank you,” she called after him, but he was already gone.“You are safe now, Bod. I won’

    “Dane!” a voice interrupted, barging into the room.Ashley’s gaze snapped to the door, and a sudden discomfort settled in her chest when she saw Aurora standing there. She had not seen her since they arrived and had assumed she had returned to the capital.Aurora’s smile faded the moment she saw Ashley wrapped in Dane’s arms, and she shot her a glare.“Your lover is here. You should let me go,” Ashley said, turning her gaze back to Dane.Dane wanted to correct her, but he dismissed the thought and released her.“What’s your decision?” He asked.“What if you go back on your word? How do I trust you?” She questioned.“I have no reason to lie,” he replied simply. His expression remained indifferent, his tone calm. He did not look like he was lying.“Okay. It is a deal then,” she said, causing Aurora to frown in confusion, clearly wondering what they were talking about.…“Get your winter boots! Winter is coming!” a vendor shouted at the passersby.Along the busy street of the village mar

    Back in the safety of her room, Ashley paced the floor, the soles of her shoes clicking a frantic rhythm against the wood. Every time the memory of the kiss flashed in her mind, she let out a sharp, frustrated hiss.Why didn’t she move? She should have pulled away sooner. She didn't love Nathan, sh

    “Hey! Watch it!” Nora snapped, her voice slicing through the hum of conversation as she shot a venomous glare at the man who had just collided with her.“You were the one who hit me. Why are you yelling at me?” He shot back, his own glare meeting hers with equal force, sharp, unyielding, and unapol

    “That jerk! How did he get in?” She muttered, her face twisting in annoyance as she walked back into the room.A relieved sigh escaped her, glad she had evaded suspicion for now. The Alpha King’s death had come at the perfect time, giving her the chance to avoid being marked by him.The mating cere

    He might not have recognized her face, but he was certain of one thing, his mate did not have blue eyes. Hers were black. Pure, beautiful, and unmistakable. The only woman he knew with light blue eyes and black hair was Ashley. It couldn’t be her. He had already confirmed that it wasn’t. And he wo
