~ASHTON~

I woke suddenly, my body drenched in sweat, feeling a feverish heat coursing through me. My muscles were tense, and an intense ache in my dick reminded me of the vivid sex dream I just experienced about Hazel, the way her soft lips moved, the vision of her hair loose and flowing near her breasts, and the closeness we shared in the dream kept replaying in my mind.

Fuck me.

This was not a good situation. I shouldn't be dreaming about her in this way, but ever since she stripped for me in the cave, I haven't been able to get her body out of my mind. The vivid image haunted me, lingering in my thoughts at all hours.

I couldn't believe it was on my mind so much since it occurred that I was even dreaming about it now. The incident had been unexpectedly shocking, leaving a deep impression on me. I was having a hard time wrapping my mind around it, trying to understand how such a situation could impact me like this.

I glanced over at her sleeping peacefully on the uneven, rocky

  • His Mate Or His Step-Sister   Chapter 34

    ~ASHTON~I felt a surge of anger and frustration directed at myself. I shouldn't have been so consumed with worry about Hazel, especially considering my mate was right beside me, seeking a rare moment of solitude away from the chaos. It irked me that my thoughts kept drifting back to my step-sister's safety. Despite her reassurance and the limited training sessions we had together, I still harbored concerns about her ability to handle any unforeseen dangers that might come her way. It fucking bothered me that I was the one who was more worried about her safety than she was. Despite her confidence and ability to handle herself, I knew that the creatures lurking within these shadowy woods were unpredictable and dangerous. Their silent stalking and sharp instincts made them formidable opponents, and I couldn't shake the feeling that anything could happen at any moment."What's wrong?" Ariel asks me softly, her voice tinged with concern as she gently shifts her gaze from her comforting e

    ~HAZEL~“You cannot stop me," I firmly declare to Ashton, standing my ground. "I'm going." My voice leaves no room for argument, and I try to turn away from his angry gaze with determined urgency when he opens his mouth to respond. I notice the irritation flashing across his face, a clear sign that he's upset about my refusal to listen to him. His jaw tightens as he struggles to find words. Even though it annoyed me that he was upset, it bothered me even more that I had to stay here and watch him flirt with his mate.Suddenly, Ariel steps between us, her gentle yet commanding voice cutting through the tension. "I think that you should both calm down," she urges, her eyes earnest and caring as she looks from one of us to the other.Ashton continues to glare fiercely in my direction, his body tense and posture rigid, clearly ignoring his mate's attempts to defuse the situation."Ashton?" Ariel calls again, her tone more insistent this time, trying to capture his attention. He finally d

    ~HAZEL~It was already late in the afternoon, with the sun hanging low in the sky and casting long shadows, and of course, just like the many failed attempts since we got here, we hadn't found any edible food source anywhere, no matter how hard we searched."I knew it was difficult from watching the live streams, but this is absolutely ridiculous," Ariel says in frustration, her brow furrowing as she scans the area. "It feels like we're literally going in circles around here. And all this walking only makes me hungrier, which is the last thing we need right now."Ashton, noticing her increasing fatigue, looks concerned for his mate as he gently takes her hand in his, his grip reassuring. "If you're tired, you can get on my back, I'll carry you back to the cave where you can rest and regain some strength," he offers kindly, his eyes full of care.I would usually feel in awe of the way Ashton treated his mate—always gentle, attentive, and loving. But now, knowing that things were differ

    ~HAZEL~It's the second day since Ariel joined us for the mate hunt, and the early morning air is thick with a mixture of anticipation and quiet tension. I am still having a hard time pretending like everything is okay, even though my heart ached each time I saw Ashton with his mate, sharing looks and moments that I secretly longed to have myself."We need to hunt for more food, especially since it's three of us now," Ashton says to her, his tone practical yet slightly strained. "I want you to stay back here while Hazel and I go out hunting, to minimize the risk. I think that will be the best option.”She frowns, crossing her arms defensively. "What makes you think that I can't be out there with the two of you? Do I look weak to you and like I can't defend myself? Or do you think I will slow you down?”He shrugs, running a hand through his hair, indicating a mixture of concern and authority. "I would just prefer that you remain here, where it is much safer than out in those unpredicta

    ~HAZEL~"Hazel?" Ariel's voice cuts through the quiet, forcing me to turn around and face them. Ashton stands nearby, his arms wrapped protectively around her waist, leaning in slightly as if keeping her close. He avoids looking my way completely, maintaining a strict focus on the ground. He continues to pretend as though I didn't exist, his posture stiff and unreadable. He has been this way since I found him on the ground after he defeated the beast. I do not blame him for his actions. He was doing the right thing, acting as if I were a nobody when his mate was around. She was the one who truly mattered the most to him. I try to swallow the pain I feel and pretend I am okay as I smile at her, saying, "Yes. It's so good to see you, Ariel." It's the truth, despite the aching in my heart; I am still genuinely happy to see her, even if it hurts. She grins and pulls out a small object from her faded yet carefully packed bag, her eyes glinting with a secret. I was surprised she was eve

    ~HAZEL~"What is that?" I ask Ashton sharply, my eyes narrowing as I hear an unusually loud horn blowing repeatedly throughout the dense forest. The sharp, blaring sound echoes through the towering trees, startling nearby birds into flight. It's the first time I've heard such a signal during the game—normally, these horns are only used to mark the end of the mating event. But I immediately realize this isn't a typical signal; the timing and intensity suggest something is wrong. We had barely crossed the month mark since arriving here, and we're supposed to be stuck in this dreadful place for five months, not less.Ashton's face mirrors my anxious confusion, his brow furrowed in concern as he scans the surrounding woods."I'm not sure," he says softly, clutching his new weapons. "But I think we should be prepared for the worst, just in case."We stay silent, our ears straining as voices drift through the cave, as if the producers for the game were testing something. Then suddenly, an a
