When Ashlyn thought the man will leave after being bored, she had been proven wrong. Taking a last bite of her bread, she wondered what he was doing inside her room for so long.Upon entering the room, she heard the sound of shower running from the washroom, and it made her walk towards the door. The scent of his that flowed out.Why was he taking a shower here?Getting irritated, she banged her hand on the door and shouted, "Get out!"But her voice was met with no response, and on that, she began to pound harder on the door, almost about to break it down.But before she was able to leave behind a crack, the door opened. Stepped out Elijah, and the close contact between them immediately caused her to step back.She was about to yell at him when her breath got caught in her throat at his attractive appearance. His hair was wet, and a towel hung around his neck.His white shirt had first few buttons open, giving her a glimpse of the figure. This made her cheeks burn up, her thoughts tra
The signs of hurt and anger on his face made her heart soften for split of a second, making her feel as though she was throwing a tantrum for no good reason.But her expression hardened, recalling what she had to endure for all these years. On top of that, he hated and felt disgusted with her until he learned of the existence of the bond."Hiding the fact that you were my mate for years, using pheromone changing pills, and then, attempting to reject your mate not once but multiple times— how heavy do you think your punishment would be?" he voiced out."Let the Alpha handle my punishment then. I would rather be stuck in the prison than being with you," Ashlyn spat hostility.He smiled mockingly and responded, "Too bad, you don't have the privilege to choose. Since it would be too cruel for Alpha to punish his own sister, I will take care of it. My mate, I don't want anyone else to take care of you."There was a sign of bone-chilling possessiveness in his eyes, and instead of being turn
His upset mood that followed learning this information caused the atmosphere to turn tense, making Leah feel pressurized.She swallowed thickly."Withholding this information, are you aware of the punishment, Leah?" Elijah questioned.Frightened upon hearing that, Leah's eyes inadvertently went towards her friend.After that, she bowed and said, "I am sorry, Beta Elijah.""Leave her out of this. She was under my orders. Go now, Leah," Ashlyn spoke out.This made her cautiously look at Elijah who gave her a stare of dismissal. This made her feel relieved, knowing the longer she stayed there, the closer she would be to suffocating to death.Giving Ashlyn an encouraging gaze, she was hurriedly out of the place.Ignoring the Beta, Ashlyn concentrated on eating, and to her relief, Elijah did the same as well.°°°Because of all the pent-up frustrations inside her, Ashlyn was brutal and ferocious during training today. Few of the warriors were sent to the infirmary due to the brunt of her a
Stepping out of the shower, the first thing she did was to stride over to the Beta, and the next instant her fist connected with his cheek when he turned back to face her.The impact made him stumble back, but he didn't fall.But that didn't satiate the anger inside her. Raising her hand, she was about to attack him again, but this time she didn't have the opportunity to do so. He grabbed on her hands.Glaring at him, she raised her leg and connected her knee with his stomach. A wince left his mouth.But before she could harm him further, he turned her the other side. He wrapped one of his hand around her torso, keeping her hands locked in place. His other hand lingered on her neck.A threatening growl left her mouth. Brushing back the hair from her shoulder, he pressed his nose on her neck, taking in her scent. The touch made the hair on her body rise as chills travelled down her back."You smell so good," he commented, "those bastards smelled disgusting on you."This made her under
The car ride had been bumpy and unstable. The path wasn't smooth. On top of that, Ashlyn's driving was rushed and reckless. Innumerable times crashing into surfaces due to it.She was taking out all of her anger through driving.Although Elijah managed to hold it in, Elaine's inside churned from the ride. Her delicate constitution made her feel sick, and her features paled. She wanted to throw up badly.But she managed to hold it in, afraid of provoking the raging Ashlyn further.Fortunately for her, it took less than an hour for them to reach their destination. The first thing she did was to step out of the car and empty her stomach, vomiting behind one of the trees.Seeing that made Ashlyn scowl and harshly comment, "How weak and pathetic."Elaine looked at Ashlyn with hint of embarrassment in her eyes. Drinking water from the bottle in her hand, she softly said, "I am sorry."Ashlyn shifted her gaze away.After that, they entered the Redfur pack. They were welcomed personally by t
The next few days passed by with them visiting other packs. During this period of time, Ashlyn's patience had been tested countless time before a new limit had been reached.As for Elaine, she had adjusted to the rough travelling. She tried to reduce her presence as much as possible in order to not provoke the already frustrated Ashlyn.But Elijah didn't share the same consideration as her.The man acted as though he made it his prime goal to rile Ashlyn up, trying to get her to explode. It amused him to see Ashlyn lose control.He pinched her cheeks, ruffled her hair, and even suddenly kissed her at various spot. That was the least of the annoying things he did.And Ashlyn remained helpless against his moves.However, to her horror, thinking how they will be going back to the pack soon caused her to feel emptiness. She had a feeling she would be missing these days.This made her bump her head against the steering wheel, trying to convince herself it was wrong to think in that directi
The car broke down in the middle of the town. Ashlyn tried to fix it only to make more mess out of the vehicle's system. Even Elijah wasn't able to set it right.And she knew that this will end up in her book of debts.At this point, she didn't care about how much she owed, knowing the amount was mountain high. It's not like she will be able to pay it off ever with the rate debt was created.She was simply being realistic.As a result, they standing in the middle of empty road at three in night. There was not a soul in sight, and eerie silence surrounded them. Occasionally, howls and barks can be heard, accompanied by the cries of cats. The cool wind blew, moving their hair along.The street lights stuttered, and brightness emitted barely lit up the surroundings. But due to their sharp senses, this didn't prove to be an issue for the werewolves."It's too late. Let's rest at a hotel," suggested Elijah.Ashlyn showed no resistance this time around.For the entire week, she had been mo
Ashlyn got down the stairs and spotted Elijah standing at the hotel lobby. She approached him."Where is Elaine?" she questioned."She is out. We can catch up to her on the way."She nodded about to walk forward when he held on to her hand, intertwining their fingers next, and maintained his pace with hers.Her eyes fell on their hands. Contentment settled in her chest before she moved away her gaze.Silence was between both of them as they walked out of the hotel. This area was desolate and not many werewolves hung around this area. It was still undergoing construction in order to make it a more habitable place.Ashlyn's eyes narrowed when she noticed the hostile figures surrounding them from all sides, leaving no space for them to walk away.Her gaze swept over them, trying to coun the number of rogue werewolves. There should be more than ten of them. All of them stared at them ferociously. Their mouths were open, their sharp fangs being shown as a result. They were ready to pounce
