CHAPTER FIFTEENFinding His Mate"Greetings, my fellow pack members. We are gathered here today to discuss important matters that will affect the future of our pack. As your alpha king, I am here to listen to your concerns and offer solutions to the best of my abilities."Ashier's voice was strong and confident, but his mind was still preoccupied with thoughts of his mate. He couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong, that she was in danger and he needed to find her. But for now, he had to focus on the pack and their issues.“Your highness, this is the usual meeting before your birthday and the pack’s ritual,” one of the pack member stood up and said, “And as we discussed in the last meeting, we are yet to get the necessary things needed for the ritual.”“Yes, Your highness,” said another member of the pack, “You promised to find a solution to the problem before this meeting and here we are Your highness, we can’t possibly cancelthe ritual again.Ashier sighed, his mind bac
CHAPTER SIXTEENSuccessful PlanNora looked down again, "I'm sorry, my king. I just thought...," she trailed off, unsure of what to say. She already know that Ashier would be angry when he gets to know what she did, but she was ready to face him.“What the hell did you do!” Ashier barked, his eyes blazing with anger.“What you have been stopping us from doing,” Nora retorted, “We had sex Ashier. You are my mate and I don’t think that is bad.”Ashier staggered back, he couldn’t believe it.Ashier's eyes were blazing with fury, and his voice was hoarse as he yelled at Nora. He grabbed her hand and pinned her hand to the wall, his grip was so tight that it was almost painful."How dare you?" he bellowed. "You had no right to do this to me, Nora. I trusted you, and you took advantage of me."Nora's face remained impassive, and she didn't even flinch at his words. She believed she was right, and nothing he said would change her mind."You needed help, Ashier," she said calmly. "And I was t
CHAPTER SEVENTEENThe Connection Ashier was seething with anger as he paced back and forth in his chamber. He couldn't believe that he had let his guard down and fallen for Nora's trap. He clenched his fists tightly and his jaw was set as he replayed the events of the previous night in his mind. He felt violated and disgusted, and he couldn't shake off the feeling of being used.As he walked back and forth, he kicked a chair that was in his way, sending it flying across the room. His anger was growing with each passing second, and he couldn't seem to calm himself down. He blamed himself for letting his guard down and for trusting Nora, who he now realized was nothing but a conniving and manipulative person.He stopped pacing and slammed his fist against the wall, causing a loud thud to echo through the room. He couldn't believe that his mate had taken advantage of him in such a way, and he vowed to make her pay for her actions.He fell on the bed, Ashier couldn't believe that Nora ha
CHAPTER EIGHTEENThe King’s Birthday 1Ashier watched as the guards took the human girl slave away, his mind still reeling from the strange feeling he had when she bumped into him. He couldn't deny the connection he felt, but he quickly dismissed it as just a strange coincidence.Humans were lowly creatures, unworthy of the love and attention of werewolves. They were betrayers, always looking for ways to harm and deceive their kind. Ashier had been raised with this belief, he saw their betrayal and lost his parents to it and it had become a part of him. That belief has become a part of him and any human he see must pay for what happened to his parents.He shook his head, pushing away the thought that the human girl could be his mate. It was impossible, unthinkable, such lowlife and pathetic human can’t be his mate. He continued walking, his mind preoccupied with finding his true mate.As he walked, he couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that lingered within him. He felt like ther
CHAPTER NINETEENThe King’s Birthday 2Ashier sat on the throne, his posture regal and his gaze piercing as he watched the game unfold before him. The archers were skilled, their arrows hitting their intended targets with deadly accuracy. But his attention wasn't on the game itself. It was on the slaves who were forced to participate, their lives on the line for the entertainment of the royals.As he watched, he kept scanning the crowd, hoping to feel a connection with someone, anyone. He knew that he had to find his mate, the one person who would complete him and bring an end to the pain that had haunted him for so long. But as he looked around, he couldn't feel anything. There was no spark, no feeling of recognition or familiarity.He let out a sigh and leaned back in his throne, his eyes scanning the crowd once more. He felt a sense of unease settle in his chest. What if he never found his mate? What if he was doomed to live with the pain forever? He pushed those thoughts away, foc
CHAPTER TWENTYThe Execution 1Ashier wiped the last traces of blood from his mouth and nose with a paper towel, and took a deep breath. The pain was still there, a dull throb in his chest, but he tried his best to hide it as he walked back out to the park. He saw that the game had ended, and let out a sigh of relief. At least he wouldn't have to endure that pain for a while.He looked over at where Blair was lying on the ground, and his heart sank. He didn't want to accept her as his mate, but he couldn't just leave her there. He wondered what he should do. He couldn't take someone like her as his mate, but at the same time, he couldn't just leave her there, and the pain was also too much for him to bear.Ashier looked over at Blair and stared at her, his eyes scrutinizing her whole body. He looked at her closely, studying her features. She was human, weak, and fragile. But there was something about her that intrigued him. He couldn't put his finger on it, but he felt drawn to her. I
CHAPTER TWENTY-ONESaved AgainBlair's heart raced as her name was announced and her crime was revealed to the pack. She could feel the eyes of everyone around her on her, judging her for her actions. She trembled as she heard the verdict, knowing what was to come next. Her whole body shook as she tried to hold back tears, trying to keep herself composed.She watched as the executioners came forward to take her away. Her steps were shaky as she followed them, every part of her body aching from the punishment she had already received. She couldn't believe that this was the end of her life, that she was going to die here in this place.As she was brought to the execution ground, she saw the altar where the sacrifices were made to the goddess. She knew that she was going to be offered up as a sacrifice, her blood spilt to appease their deity. She was terrified, her mind racing with thoughts of what awaited her beyond this life.Blair watched as the executioners read out her crime and the
Chapter Twenty-twoThe SaviorAs Ashier and Blair walked, she threw his hands off and turned to him, “Why did you save me again? Why do you keep saving me after everything that has happened?” She asked.Ashier gave her her no response, he shook his head and grabbed her hand, “Come with me, you have no right to question me!” He shouted.“I’m not questioning you, I’m only asking why you keep putting me in danger and passing out judgments for me to be killed or punished then saving me after that, what exactly are you up to?“ Blair asked, “What do you want from me?”“Just keep quiet and follow me human! I have had enough of your talks.” Ashier yelled and grabbed her hand again.“I have a name, don’t just call me human,” Blair yelled, “Humans are better creatures than you lots. You are just a beast in human skin, you are all murderers, killing people for fun. You are a beast!“Ashier tightened his grip on her, making her cry out in pain, “Say another word and I will kill you by myself,” he
