365 days With The Alpha Who Marked Me. 116
“I suppose you are here for me, Alpha Nathan.” Dane suddenly appeared behind her and said, causing Nathan to shift his gaze.“Ahh, I see why now.” Nathan said, and Ashley looked up at him, catching the look of betrayal in his gaze. Without thinking, she walked away without saying a word.“And what is this unwelcoming visit about?” Dane asked as he stepped away from the door and into the room, prompting Nathan to follow suit.“I came to see if you were going to uphold your words.” Nathan replied, and Dane turned to him, asking, “What words?” causing Nathan’s jaw to tighten in annoyance.“Your words about letting me solve the trafficking case alongside you and Ash.” He clarified.Feigning ignorance, Dane replied, “Ohh, that. I remember saying those words, but I don’t remember making any promises.”Nathan let out a mocking laugh and took a step closer to Dane. “Why? Are you suddenly scared you might not be able to win her over?” He taunted.For the first time, Dane felt a genuine sense o

Directing her gaze away, she answered, “You won’t need anything to win me back because you can’t win me back.”“What about we make a bet, then?” He suddenly urged, causing her to turn toward him and repeat, “A bet?” Her brows raised suspiciously. She wondered what he was up to this time, but she knew agreeing was not an option.“Yes.” He answered, making her exhale in frustration. “I am not interested in striking any bets with you, Alpha Dane,” she added, then moved to get out of his grasp.This time, he didn’t let her struggle and released her, prompting her to take her seat on the chair opposite him. Sitting up, Dane smiled and asked, “What do you have to lose anyway? Why not go for it?”“It is not about the loss or the gain, Alpha Dane. I am not interested, and I would like you not to force me into doing something I have no interest in.” She answered curtly, maintaining his gaze.“That’s unfortunate. I am interested in the bet,” he said.“Then that’s your business, Alpha Dane. I am

Ashley kept retracing her steps, conflicted. After the revelation from Nora, everything seemed to have changed for her. Dane’s betrayal, the girl trafficking, her pack… She didn’t know what to do or whether she should really trust Dane after everything that had happened. Even if it was a misunderstanding, the fact that he had left her once still remained.What if he did it again? Would she have the heart to go through another heartbreak? But then, it wasn’t like she was staying to restore their relationship. She was staying to protect the girls being trafficked and also to help Nora free herself from this contract marriage. It is just…Deep down, she knows she might fall for him again.“Alpha Ashley, is there anything you need?” A voice startled her, causing her to flinch as she turned toward the owner of the voice. It was Dane’s nephew.“Hi. No, I was just trying to find my way to the library,” she answered, smiling at him.“Oh, I can take you there myself. Sometimes, it gets confusin

He stared at her with such intensity that it made butterflies knot in her belly, causing her resolve to falter. She remembered the first time she had felt this way about him, and the good memories began to rush back.Having him so close, so raw and within her reach, his scent hitting her senses, made her want to let her guard down and be held in his arms just one more time.“Oh, Liz, you look at me this way and still ask me to leave you.” He breathed, his warm breath fanning against her skin. Shuddering, she fisted her hands by her sides, inwardly telling herself not to lose her composure.Zayd began leaning in, about to seize her lips, when she lowered her head and placed her hand on his, urging, “Wait!” She sighed softly.“I can’t,” Zayd answered softly, and she raised her head, prompting him to seize her lips.Lisa could not help surrendering this time. Her hands fell to her sides as she parted her mouth further, granting him better access. Noticing this, Zayd

“Oh.” She muttered, finally grasping the situation. Nora’s father was a good strategist. Though it was a bit weird that he ended up in shark loaners’ hands, he was still a good strategist when it came to warfare.“And we kind of made him go bankrupt too. It really cost him a lot to save us, the capital is also in need of assistance. Though I will always hate him for what he did to you, I can’t just ignore my savior,” Nora explained.“Does he have a plan for that?” She asked.“Well, I don’t know what exactly he and my father have in mind, but I am sure he does. He might be a terrible mate, but he is no doubt a good leader,” Nora said, and Ashley sighed in relief.“What of you?” Nora asked, raising a brow at her, which made Ashley stare back at her in confusion. What about her?“You know, Nathan. A lot has happened since I left. How did you quickly fall in love with him?” She asked, and Ashley muttered a silent oh, her worries returning. She had completely forgotten she still had Nathan

As Ashley sat with her thoughts, the door flung open, and she raised her head, shifting her gaze toward it.“Hey!” Nora gently called, smiling warmly at Ashley as she stood by the door.Ashley’s heart skipped the moment she saw Nora, her mind refusing to process what was happening. She had not been planning to talk to her, and from her expression, she was certain she had come here to talk.“I know you are angry, but can I be selfish enough to ask you to at least welcome me?” Nora urged, and it was only then Ashley got down from the desk, making her way toward Nora.“Hey,” Ashley called when she reached her side.“So, how are you? How have you been?” Nora asked, taking a step away from the door. Ashley felt the urge to scoff, but she held it in and simply responded, “I am good. Have you been good too?” She then asked, trying to keep a straight face.“Should I lie or be honest?” Nora asked, chuckling lightly.“Does it matter?” Ashley blurted, regretting her words the moment they left he
