Maya was about to stand up and give Kelly a piece of her mind but Ashton took hold of her hand and stopped her."Why?" Maya's mind linked with him."He doesn't deserve your attention. Besides, I think that if you bicker with him, we will only fall deeper into his trap. Let him continue the act." Ashton said.Maya nodded and continued to hold Ashton's hand. She was using her magic to secretly heal him and he was starting to feel better. His face which had been drained of color was starting to have some life on it."Brother, do you have anything to say in your defense as to why you decided to kill the family patriarch?" Kelly continued his self-directed act. He knew that no matter what Ashton said, no one would believe him.No one had witnessed when he killed the old man apart from the four of them. And even if there was anyone, Kelly was sure that they would not dare come forward and tell the truth. He was now an alpha, who would dare go against him?Ashton closed his eyes feeling exhau
Ashton has led away to the special cell 'made specifically for him'. He did not know what was in those handcuffs, but whatever it was, it was draining the life out of him.Every passing minute felt like a century to him as he felt the life force in him drain out one bit after the other."What did you use to prepare this handcuff?" Ashton asked the person leading him with much difficulty. He felt that he could not breathe well after uttering that one sentence. Every step he took left him feeling like he was carrying one thousand tons of load on his shoulder. The guard looked at him sympathetically and said nothing. He had been instructed to look after Ashton and they were not allowed to talk to prisoners. Although he wished to help, there was no way he could go against his alpha's orders.Though in reality he actually had no idea what it was. But he knew that the more it stayed on Ashton's body, the more it will be hard for him to ever wolf out. The person had said that after twenty-fo
"Honey, I am here. I am here to take us out of this damned place." Maya said. Her voice was shaking with nervousness although she forced herself to calm down. She did not know the extent to which Ashton was hurt but she knew that she had to hurry."You came?" Ashton said in a weak voice. It seemed like he had not yet fully lost consciousness. His whole body was covered in sweat and from their mate bond, Maya could feel that he was in a lot of pain. "Yes, I came. How can I leave you alone?" Maya asked. Although tears were threatening to fall from her eyes, Maya forced them back. She hugged Ashton gently with the fear of hurting him and looked at him with affection. Her eyes were filled with love only for him.Looking at her loving eyes that only had him in them, Ashton felt the discomfort in his body eases a little. He was glad that he found and fell in love with someone who cared about him unconditionally."How did you escape?" Ashton asked. His voice was hoarse and he coughed a littl
Kelly looked at Kevin with an incredulous gaze. 'What was this stupid uncle of his talking about? How could Ashton's leaving be of any good to him? He was about to die from anger and someone was joking about it?' Kelly felt like punching someone in the face.Kevin felt Kelly's gaze on him and the excitement he felt in his heart cooled down. He did not feel good being looked down upon by his nephew."Can you hear me out first before giving me such a gaze?" Kevin said. Kelly has never even once respected him as his elder."What do you have to say? I don't want to listen to your nonsense right now!" Kelly said.Kevin was extremely vexed by his attitude but there was nothing he could do. He even wondered why he decided to support such a knucklehead alpha! He felt that ever since he started being close to Kelly, at least half of his brain cells have already died and he has already aged at least aged a few decades."Listen, Ashton has left under unclear circumstances. Everyone knows that he
Chapter 39 At another pack leader's house, a man was smiling from ear to ear after hearing the news from his informant. "Did I not tell you that that little brat was too arrogant for his good? Now, look at the disgrace that he has brought upon himself." The man said with a thin smile on his lips. He was in such an excellent mood that he could not prevent a whistle from coming out of his lips. "But alpha, don't you think something doesn't add up here?" His intelligence personnel asked. "Whatever adds up and whatever doesn't, it is none of my business. What I know is that the arrogant little man has fallen and it is time to show his pack who the boss is." The man said in an arrogant voice. He was called alpha Matthew and he has been Ashton's rival for a long time. He claimed that Ashton was just an arrogant brat who did not know the meaning of being an alpha. He had once challenged Ashton and claimed that Ashton was a good-for-nothing alpha who depended on his family legacy. Althou
“Jay, send out the search parties. I don’t want any danger to come to her. Make sure that you find her and protect her well. Even if it means protecting her with your life.” Mark said. He was pacing back and forth as he gave his orders. He was still in disbelief that Maya was actually still alive. “Yes alpha.” Jay bowed and accepted his mission without any qualms. Since miss Maya left, his alpha has never been happy. He has been living in self-blame all this while Just as he was about to leave the study room to start the preparations, he heard Mark say, “You know what, never mind, I will go by myself.” Mark said. His face was as if he was making a very difficult decision. In his heart he was afraid. Afraid that if he did not do anything, he was never going to see Maya again. He feared that he will repeat the same mistake he did in the past of failing to protect her. He had failed her once and he was not going to fail her again. “Alpha!” jay reacted. He never imagined that Mark woul
Chapter 41In the northern mountains….…. Eliphas was shocked at the sight of the battered Ashton. Barely a few days had passed since he sent them back and yet here, he was on the verge of dying? The vibrant Ashton was lying on the floor unconscious and blood was dripping from his mouth and nose.“What happened?” Eliphas asked Maya in a shocked voice. He could not believe what his eyes were seeing.“Uncle Eliphas please save him. I don’t know how long he can stay alive. Please do something and we will talk about what happened once you take a look at him. It is a long story.” Maya said, her voice choked from all the sobbing. Her only thoughts at the moment were to save Ashton no matter the cost. She had promised that she will save him, and that was the only thing running through her mind at the moment. Eliphas restrained from asking questions and immediately carried Ashton to one of his private chambers. Maya followed behind with a worried look on her face. Although the portal took the
Chapter 42 After Ashton was given the medicine, he slipped into a coma. Maya, Theo, and Eliphas checked on him from time to time, and seeing that his breath was steady they heaved light sighs of relief as he was getting better.The color on his face which had been drained to look as white as snow was slowly returning and his cracked lips were regaining their pinkish cue. His chest rose and fell and he looked like a sleeping prince."Thank you so much, uncle Eliphas. This is a lifetime favor. I don’t know if we will ever repay it." Maya said, clasping her hands close to her heart. Her gaze was filled with gratitude and dependence as she looked at Eliphas."Child you have already thanked me over ten thousand times. I told you that I take Ashton as my son and you as my daughter, so I could do just as much to see that he is well." Eliphas said."Still, I have to thank you. I don't know what I would have done, honestly.""You are very brave and very strong, more than you could ever imagine
