365 days With The Alpha Who Marked Me. 60
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

“But…” the middle-aged woman began, concern lacing her voice, but Ashley had already stepped out onto the balcony.Left with no other choice, the woman quietly let herself out. When Ashley heard the door close, she let out a breath, some of her irritation easing.A few hours later, another knock sounded on the door, and she called, “Come in,” hoping it was Dane or Silas. It was already late into the night. Shouldn’t they have found something by now?“Luna, I am here with your food.” The middle-aged woman from earlier came into view, this time carrying a tray with only a ceramic bowl on it.“I said I am not eating. Tell your Alpha I don’t need his concern. If he’s that worried about my diet, he can eat it himself,” she snapped, leaving the middle-aged woman visibly shocked.She stared at Ashley in disbelief, stunned that anyone would dare speak of Dane that way. Even his close relatives would never say such things to him, yet Ashley did so without hesitation.“You can’t say that, Luna.

“Call it whatever you want, but I won’t let you die under my watch. You are under my care now, so you can’t just do whatever you want anymore,” he relayed.“If you want to stop me, then kill me. I am leaving this villa whether you like it or not,” she swore, swallowing hard. Her gaze locked onto his, fierce and unyielding. He could see the anger burning in her eyes, but he was beginning to grow used to it. Letting her go was not an option. He would rather have her hate him than allow her to walk alone into the lion’s den. Even he could not fully explain why he felt so protective of her. No matter how much he tried to convince himself it was only out of obligation, deep down, he knew it was more than that.“Why? Can’t you do it? She snapped, her chest rising and falling heavily, her breathing loud and uneven. “Then don’t try to stop me,” she added, moving to get down from the table.Dane held her in place, his hands tightly wrapped around her as she continued to struggle.When Ashley r

Music and laughter filled the hall as melodies rose into the air. People danced, mingled, and exchanged pleasantries beneath the glittering lights.Ashley stood alone in a quiet corner, slowly sipping her wine as she observed the scene. The longer she remained, the stronger her urge to leave became

Ashley seethed inwardly, forcing herself to swallow the words that clawed at her throat. She wanted to yell at him for his inability to manage his lovers, but she knew that would only make her sound jealous.The woman, now identified as Aurora, walked up to Dane and entwined her hands with his. She

Making her way out of the venue, Ashley pulled out her phone and texted Nora, asking about her whereabouts.Now standing a few steps away from the entrance, she folded her arms, awaiting her ride. As she did, her mind drifted back to the dance with Dane, her cheeks reddening at the memory. She reme

“If you are referring to Aurora, there is nothing between us,” Dane said, attempting to clarify the situation. “She is a close relative. You will be seeing her around.”Ashley didn’t buy it for a second. “I thought you had a fiancée?” She inquired, intentionally prodding him to make him spill.“Aur
