Ashton’s POV After leaving that psycho in class, things seem to have normalized a little , viklan seemed to be an okay guy who took his time to explain to me how that dickhead is expected to be married to that beautiful angel Marg, no wonder the girl seemed miserable but kinda rude to me but I did not mind , I would loose my mind too if I was being forced to marry that sleezeball.He even told me how some are suspecting that he probably killed a girl called Billy jean but his father refuted the claim saying his son was too weak a person to be able to perpetuate such act, apparently the man did not know how wierd his son was and coming from just meeting him today I believe he did.There is this darkness that is within him, although he does a good job at hiding it but immediately i saw him , I saw it there boldly staring me in the face while I was breaking his wrist, that guy is something else.I really wished I could interfere and warn her not to let herself be talked into something t
2 weeks laterHiddenville Festival Claire’s POV It has been two weeks since the handsome stranger moved into town with his family and so far so good he has blended very well, joined the basketball team infact he made captain, based on the fact that he is really good just like my man viklan said , and my baby does not talk much except for when he is excited .Anyways the whole town is preparing for the Festival , some because of the array of food, some because of the ladies or guys while majority because of Hiddenville king and queen, a competition where all the young ladies and young men compete and the best lady and man in terms of all ramifications is picked as the king and queen , kinda like prom king and queen.I have been talking to my sister about participating in this years contest , I mean I would have but I know my sister would beat them hands down, we all knew she was the hottest girl in hiddenville, totally not a secret but she has flat out refused even before she gave me
Hiddenville Festival Ashton’s POV I have been brooding for two weeks , first of all because I cannot have my mate and secondly because she won’t even look at me one bit, it was annoying and painful at best, so I dived into school work and the basketball team just in the bid to forget about her and how much she affected me.My wolf was loosing it but there was nothing neither of us could do, our mate simply did not like us and that is on periodt. This was a very terrible feeling and I was already contemplating on meeting my parents to see how this bind can be cut off, yes it can be done but you are likely to never find a mate again, well I did not care ,who would have a mate like Marg and want another after being rejected by her?But then mum returned home two days ago to tell me that she enrolled me on Festival contest for the king and queen of hiddenville , I was beyond pissed at her , but she said it will help me get over her and that it will be good and then my parents promised
Chapter TwentyLoki’s POV Everything was going just fine , I saw how my girl was ignoring the new guy and minding her business, and how she was absolutely rude to him at any opportunity that they spoke and it made me happy, atleast I was safe, nobody was going to come from nowhere and steal my woman and my pride.Every year when we hold the Hiddenville Festival king and queen contest, I always participate even though I never win , I did not mind because Marg never participated anyway, so I never got mad or jealous when some random guy wins and another random girl becomes his queen and they go off on a cruise, they usually end up becoming couples before they even get home from the trip but non of that bothered me until when I found out Marg was contesting last minute as well as that Ashton guy, I knew that I was screwed.Their outfit alone looked like they were styled by same designer as couples, they looked too good to be true and I was close to tears, I immediately went to father t
Chapter Twenty OneAs the cruise left the shore and moved away , Ashton and Marg was still frozen in shock both holding on to the rails thinking of how to start a conversation between them and it was really awkward until Marg left the rail and went inside to remove the dress and wear a shirt or something.On getting to her box , she opened it and froze, she immediately knew who could have done this to her “ Oh my God Cee Cee, you just want to get me into trouble so bad” she searched the bag and finally found the shortest shorts she happens to own and a tank top, she quickly stripped and wore it, carefully removed all the pins and ornaments in her hair setting them aside before coming out of the room trying to locate the kitchen, because the cruise had a chef traveling with them.On getting out she found Ashton dressed down as well taking food from the buffet , chatting with the chef as he did so, immediately he noticed her presence he stopped talking and shifted slightly to allow room
Marg’s POV I woke very late, later than I have ever woken up since I was fifteen and I felt so good and relieved of some burdens, when I opened my eyes it took me a while to remember where I was , I took a moment to take the peaceful surroundings and that sorting sound that comes from a ship sailing through water, truly peaceful and calming , I made to get up from the bed wondering how I got there in the first place because I do not remember going to bed last night.I made to get up from the bed and that is when I felt a hand thrown on my stomach, I freaked out but when I looked at the hand and then the face I calmed down because it was Ashton and not a killer or something.I sat up and carefully removed his hand and just watched him sleep, truly I have never seen a finer man, I felt pain in my head as I started remembering how I opened my eyes in the middle of the night and saw him drinking and crying? It felt like maybe I have that memory wrong because why would he be crying and d
Ashton’s POVI woke up to the sound of a shower running and then all the incidents of yesterday started playing out in my head, the words she used on me and how helpless she was , I know that I drank a lot of whiskey last night to handle my grief and my pain, but then I remembered what my father said to me about making good use of the opportunity placed before me , and I knew what I was going to do, I have just five days to make her fall in love with me and I am going all out for this now.If the water is running then she must be taking her bathe, still lying down in the same position with my eyes still closed , as I was about to stand up I heard the bathroom door open slightly due to my hand covering my face nobody would know that my eyes were open, so I saw her peek into the room and then came out half naked with a flimsy towel only partially covering abit of the breast and vagina, I was so shocked by what I saw that I closed my eyes again and then I heard her tiptoe to her box,then
Chapter Twenty FourMarg’s POV Seeing him standing there in all his glory felt so good and strange, the fact that he was not trying to cover up or shout at me for invading his privacy was surprising, I know I would have yelled at him to close the door and get lost but he never did , instead he stood there and allowed me to look my full, but then i chickened out and ran outside.After he came out , I was expecting him to scold me but he never did, instead he was busy eating his food to the fullest savoring everything. I was so embarrassed that I started apologizing but he blew me off saying that he liked me watching him, i actually did too but I will never say that out loud.Finding out he is not human is the high light of my day but nothing prepared me to hear him volunteer to show me who he is instead of just telling me, I was excited and scared, what if he was dangerous I immediately knocked that thought off my mind, how dangerous can it possibly get?
