“I am afraid you won’t be given a chance to speak until the election is over,” Elder Bathsheba said firmly, dismissing Luke with a sharp wave of his hand. “Keep your grievances until then.”Luke let out a harsh, humorless laugh. “Do I look like I came here for your permission?!” He bellowed, his voice rising above the murmurs, drawing shoc

“How dare you defame me?!” Lucien shot to his feet, his roar reverberating through the hall as he pointed an accusing finger at the stranger, Luke.“I am afraid you won’t be given a chance to speak until the election is over,” Elder Bathsheba said firmly, dismissing Luke with a sharp wave of his hand. “Keep your grievances until then.”Luke let out a harsh, humorless laugh. “Do I look like I came here for your permission?!” He bellowed, his voice rising above the murmurs, drawing shocked gasps from the crowd.“How dare you?!” one of the seated elders snapped, rising to his feet in outrage.“Bring them in,” Luke ordered, completely ignoring their protests.The heavy doors creaked open, and a group of men, bound in chains, were dragged into the hall. The clinking of metal echoed ominously, sending a ripple of unease through the crowd.Ashley’s gaze drifted toward Lucien, almost absentmindedly at first but then she froze.His expression had changed. Gone was

“Left, right… steady now.”“Ahh!”“Just look at me. Focus…right, left.”Ashley had spent the last two days relearning how to walk, each step a battle, with Nathan constantly by her side, guiding, steadying, refusing to let her give up.“Ahhh!” A sharp cry tore from her lips as her legs gave out again, sending her crashing harshly to the ground. Her chest rose and fell unevenly as she fought to steady her breathing, pain and frustration tightening her throat.“You don’t have to push yourself this hard,” Nathan said, crouching beside her, his voice softer now, almost careful. “We can have you wheeled into the hall, or have someone stand in your place. As long as your presence is accounted for, the council won’t hold it against you.”She swallowed, her eyes closing briefly as if to gather what little strength she had left. Silence stretched between them before she opened them again and forced herself upright.“I won’t vote for a leader who can’t walk,” she s

“Why does she keep blacking out?”“I have done everything I can, but her body just won’t respond. There’s nothing physically wrong with her…it’s her mind.”“Then wake her up!”A figure shifted on the bed, a soft groan escaping her as the distant voices grew clearer.“I can’t wake her if she won’t wake up.”“Do I look like I give a damn?!”The sharp shout jolted Ashley awake. She winced, her eyes struggling against the harsh light. Pain stabbed through them, raw and unfamiliar, like they didn’t belong to her.“Ash!” A familiar male voice called, drawing closer.“Ahh…” she groaned, trying to push herself up as Nathan came into view.“It’s alright. I am here,” he said gently, helping her sit up.By the time she steadied, her vision had cleared just enough to make out his face.“Alpha Nathan?” She whispered, shock lacing her voice. Why was he here? Why was she here? The last thing she remembered was the rain… crying… then nothing. Did she pass out?“I am here,” he reassured. “Are you feel

Dane took the file from Nora, his gaze dropping to Ashley’s bare feet. Guilt gnawed at him, a sudden urge rising to carry her back inside, tuck her into bed, shield her from everything. But he held himself back. He would never be able to turn away from her if he does not do it now. “It’s cold outside, Lady Nora. You should take your friend back into the villa. She will need the warmth,” he said. Nora scoffed. “There’s no need, Alpha Dane. This villa was never mine to keep, it will always be yours,” Ashley replied, forcing a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. Without another word, she turned and headed for the gate. “Bye, Ash! Bye, Nora!” Aurora called brightly after them. Nora stopped and turned, her expression sharp. “You will regret this one day, bitch,” she said with a smirk that wiped the smile off Aurora’s face. “Do not leave her side until she’s safe, even if it costs you your life,” Dane ordered Silas, who had stepped forward. “Why do you still care about her? She’s not

“Ashley!” A voice barked, bursting into her room. It was Nora. Ashley’s eyes fluttered open. She sat up, her gaze dropping toward the source of the noise. When she met Nora’s furious stare, she raised a brow, confused, and slipped out of bed. “Hey… what’s wrong?” She asked, stepping closer. “Where is he? Where is that bastard?!” Nora shouted, making Ashley’s worry spike. She wasn’t talking about Dane… was she? “Who?” Ashley asked, though she already suspected the person. But why would Nora be this angry at Dane? “Who else? That traitor you call a husband!” Nora snapped, scoffing as she paced. “Flirting with his lover in public! Humiliating you like it’s nothing! I am so pissed!” Ashley glanced back at the bed before looking at Nora again. “We were together all night. He probably left for work. What happened, Nora? Did something else happen?” She reached out, taking Nora’s hands. Nora let out a sharp breath. “Did something…he’s divorcing you!” she blurted, staring at Ashley in di

Leaning back in, Dane wrapped his hand around her neck and seized her lips. His kiss was raw, needy, and fierce, but Ashley matched his intensity. She didn’t care if it was the mate bond or a simple pull of attraction; she wanted him just as badly as he wanted her.Withdrawing from her lips, he moved down to her neck, sucking and licking the sensitive skin. Finding his way to the fresh mark, he began to pulse against it, causing her to fist her hands as her eyes rolled back from the intense pleasure. Dane moved his free hand to her breast, fondling her through the fabric of the sheer nightgown.Moving away from her neck, he began to trace kisses down her body, stopping just below her waist. Ashley’s legs curled beneath the sheets, heat pooling between her thighs. She could no longer withstand the teasing; she needed him to fill the void.In one swift motion, Dane tore off her nightgown, tossing it to the floor. Ashley didn’t shy away this time; she was far too intoxicated by the pleas

Now seated in the council hall, Ashley sat at her father’s right while her brothers occupied the seats to his left. The council members filled the remaining chairs, all engaged in a tense discussion about the pack’s worsening condition.Her father had insisted she attend these meetings if she truly

Hours earlier, Dane sat alone in his chamber, leaning back in his chair, his gaze distant as his thoughts consumed him.He might not have seen her face clearly that night, but he remembered the mark.He had watched it form on her neck after he claimed her, faint at first, then clearer, shaped like

Now standing beneath a narrow shade, wrapped in a black jacket, Ashley cupped her hands and blew warm air into her palms, trying to chase away the cold.“Why didn’t you avoid the rain?” Nathan asked, turning to face her.“The shops refused to help. They thought I was a thief. And I couldn

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
