Fated To One, Chosen By Three

Ashina’s POV“A little bird told me you’ve never felt the touch of a man. Allow me to help you with that.”My insides twisted in disgust as I noticed the pack’s tyrant wink at me. I rushed my steps, trying to wear him out. He had been on my tail from the stream.“Ryker, stay away from me, or there’ll be trouble,” I warned, balancing the keg of water on my head.He blocked me. “Trouble for you, or trouble for you,” he laughed at his silly joke. The mischievous light in his eyes crept the hell out of me, but there was no way I would give him the pleasure of thinking he could scare me, even though we were on a lonely path and the sun was setting. I rolled my eyes, stepping aside. “Get out of my way, or else.”Ryker chuckled. “Stop feeling too important. No one cares about an outcast, not even your Alpha brother.”The mention of Leo made my heart jump. My eyes reddened as anger surged through my veins. I wanted to give him an answer. But the need to get home before my curfew, deeply su

Ashina’s POV“Do you expect him to choose you with those red, puffy eyes?” Leonard’s voice cut through the veil of silence in the car. My fingers tightened against the fine fabric of my dress. Luna did her best to make me look good. She must have prayed that I wouldn't get rejected by Alpha Warrick.“Are you mad at me?” he asked. Now I faced him. My lips pressed firmly as I shook my head.“Not mad, I’m hurt and disappointed.”He tightened his grip on the steering, his knuckles turned white. “It’s best for you to go.”I gave a small smile and shook my head. “Yeah, to a beast. Sure. Because I deserve to die for trying to ruin your perfect relationship.”He fired the car, narrowing his eyes on the road. The top left corner of his lip, raised into a sneer. “I’m only keeping my word.”“To give me out? But you said to a good man.” I scoffed, looking away. “Why don't you just reject me and break this bond?”“I can't. It would tear you apart from inside out. You're not strong enough for that

Warrick’s POVMy eyes rested on Ashina's fair thigh. Her entire body was exposed in the tiny layer of dress she had on.“No.” Her face flushed as she pulled a small pillow over herself. If she was trying to hide her full breast, it was too late. I already saw everything under her see through dress — is that even a dress or an undergarment?I sighed. “Ashina, for the last time, what are you doing here?”Her eyes grew wide all of a sudden. I blinked, wondering if she had lost her voice.“Speak up, else—”“To be with you,” she rushed, cutting me off.“Huh?” I asked. “What did you just say?”“I felt scared alone in that big room. And it was c— cold too. So I came to be wi— with you.” Stuttering.Avoiding my gaze.Conscious of her body and trying to cover up.Yet she's being provocative with her words.“Are you sure about that?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at her.She shook her head, then forced a smile and nodded almost immediately.“Liar.” I turned away from her. “Did Leonard make you c

Ashina's POV“Esmeray.”The name echoed inside me. My eyes shoot open. The first thing I saw was the glittering chandelier. Then the scent of sunflowers hit me.It was familiar.My hands curled against something soft under me. Silk— silk bedding?I sat up immediately, looking around. This is my room. How did I get here? The last thing I knew was that I was in the woods, running around and enjoying the night air against my fur.My eyes widened. “My fur?” I touched my skin, looking down at my hands as I recalled all that happened yesterday.“Esmeray, are you in there?”I heard nothing. I blinked, worried and shifted where I sat. “Es—” I noticed I was wearing a white shirt and I went mute.How did I get back here? How did I even change?Or— did it all happen in my head?I gulped, hoping not. Then I got down from my bed slowly, walking to the spot I shifted, just in front of the door.“My clothes ripped off me, right here. Then— then I started to change form. There was blood. I saw it,

Ashina's POVMy eyes bulged as I turned to see Warrick standing by the door. He had a robe on and he leaned against the door frame.Why didn't I hear him opening the door? Esmeray shifted in me as I stared at him. She was silent, but I could feel the tension in her.Is she scared of him?“No, just cautious,” she whispered back.“Why?” I thought to her.“Because he's too calculating. He measures everything. Stop tapping your leg, he's looking at it.”“Why are you nervous?” Warrick asked.I froze, dropping my feet and hands flat down.“Told ya he's clever.”“Erm. I—”“Stop stuttering, raise your head, look him straight in the eyes as you reply to him, girl.”I gulped. “Why do I have to do that? I can't—” I asked her in my head.“You can. And you have to, because that would teach them all not to mess with you.”Warrick pushed himself off the door frame and walked up to me slowly, his slim fingers adjusting his robe. I caught his toned chest peeking out the front of the robe. “Were you
