Lycan King’s nemesis Chapter Fifty-one
(Gwen's pov)The pack has been in silence with everyone shaken by the recent events that have been taking place. For the past three days, there has been calm and people tend to walk around in shadows.I haven't been able to see Ashton as he has been so engaged with busy finding the miscreant that took the mate of one of the guardians. He is angry, I know. Everyone is talking about it.I wish to speak to him because from what I heard from Abby, he seems to handle matters too rashly. I don't know the history they share with humans that would warrant them taking one them, or instilling this amount of fear in the almighty Lycans, but one thing was for sure, returning violence with violence can never be the way out.Back in the werewolf Kingdom, due to my relationship with Julian and my father as the Beta, I was privileged to hear most of their deliberations. When things like this happened, there would be a talking stage to find out what the other party wanted and a path would be created fo

(Gwen’s pov)After what I just heard Tyler say, I didn't hesitate to leave the training ground, telling him I will call on him next time as I had suddenly lost the zeal to train, to be replaced by an urgent need to speak to Ashton, hook, line and sinker.I stormed into the palace, ignoring the butler’s annoying pleasantries as I spun and made my way towards his study. I know Merit will still be there and Lud help me, I will do something drastic if she dared to stop me.Without knocking, I grabbed the knob and pushed in, realizing then that the door was locked from the inside. My guts flared. I banged loud on the hard wood. “Open this door this minute, Ashton!” I knocked, pulled, knocked again. “I demand you open this door this mi_”The door yanked open unexpectedly, resulting in me to stumble in as I lost my balance and hold of the knob. Merit once more barricaded the entrance, her body a wall on front in me. “The King_”“Get out of my way!” My two hands connected to her midriff, sendi

(Gwen's pov)Heading back to my room-my new room- I tossed off every iota of dress on me, flung them in the hamper and went to sprawl on the sofa in exhaustion. Mental exhaustion. From all the stress I've been through today.My mind was like a windmill spinning wildly in contemplation of what I am going to do. It contributed to the migraine that rocked my head, making me wince. I looked towards the door as I heard a sound of fast footsteps that soon walked past. It must be Kora.Sadly, I don't feel like going to tell her I won't be staying in that room until my mental state feel up to it again. Particularly not after what I saw downstairs. Even after our fight earlier, Ashton didn't try to emancipate himself before me. I huffed and stood, going to the bathroom. The next time I came out-like the cold water had worked a severe magic on me-I suddenly knew what I was going to do. Flinging the closet doors open, I scanned my eyes through the few dresses hanging there, picked out a black

(Ashton's pov)Gwendolyn was like a wild flame and I was her moth. I just can't stay away. I tell myself I loath her and want her gone by all means. But in reality, I see myself drawn to her.I have to break her, everything that makes her. I aim to make her beg, grovel for me before I will reach my brink. Before I will feel the satisfaction that comes from getting my revenge on her kind. For everything Emma did to me. But with every day I spend with her, it looked like I was becoming a shadow of myself. I was doing the exact opposite of what I wished for. All because of the curse of the bond. I slammed the bottle of alcohol in my hand on the desk, stood and staggered to the window and pushed the curtain away to sniff outside. It was a windy night, stipulating rain beckoned. But, there was something else. A familiar scent. Why am I perceiving her scent outside? I racked my head, then shook it and dropped the curtains to step back. It might be a trap of the mind. I was becoming too c

**Gwen’s Pov**"Ashton?” I gasped, startled to the marrow. "You scared me." I closed the door and gazed around the room. "What are you doing here?""Don't -don't you dare evade my question." He gritted, narrowing his eyes at me. "Where are you coming from?""I went strolling." I lied fluidly. "I needed to think and I wasn't hungry so I decided to skip and go...strolling."He drank me in intently, his lips in a straight line, and his eyes unreadable. I didn't walk closer, afraid he will smell Tyler’s scent on me. Werewolves' sense of smell was potent not to mention a Chief Lycan.He huffed irritably and moved away from the window, to cross his hand over his massive chest. "Are you still on your... period?""Period?" I questioned, then recalling my initial lie, I abruptly nodded. "Yes. In fact, uhm...I have cramps and want to go bed early.""Are you lying to me now, Gwen?" I was shaking my head at him. "Don't you want to get pregnant?"I looked away rapidly, my mind travelling back to w

**Ashton***"There is no other way, my elders," My authoritative voice rang in the room as I addressed my elders. "We shall take war to the humans." I declared with an air of finality. We were in a meeting, a normal routine every Friday to talk about the general welfare of the pack.The only difference today is that we have matters of urgent attention. One is the attack and the other being the games. "I think we should think this one through, my King," Ebenezer, the oldest of the elders advised. "I know this might be the only way, considering their condition, yet, like your father will always say, tough times don't always require tough measures."I snorted derisively, waving away the comment from Ebenezer. "That is my father and this is me. I am the King now and unless you are still loyal to my father, this is what we are going to do." The elder lifted his hands up to demonstrate his submission. "For long I have been ignoring the caprices of the humans as they keep trying to step on
Lycan King’s nemesis Chapter Fifty-seven
**GWEN**After dinner and everyone had retired to their different room and I was certain Ashton will not show up in my room that night, I wore the black hooded cardigan Kora brought me on simple pair of jean trousers and sneaked out of the palace. I went to the stables like the other night and saw that same horse that betrayed me at Tyler's place. I decided to give him a second chance when he neighed at me and use him once more. I enticed him outside with an apple I saved from dinner, and made sure he didn't make any sound to attract the stable hands. When we were distant from the stables, I struggled to mount him, happy he didn't panic and run off on me. "Good boy." I patted his neck, grabbed his reins and kicked his stirrup to increase his gallop. I was already late and won't want Tyler to think I changed my mind.When I got to his cottage, he was already waiting for me outside his house. I jumped down from the horse, tied it by a post and went to join him in his car."I nearly c
Lycan King’s nemesis Chapter Fifty-eight
**ASHTON**I've been in the study all day attending to the stacked ledgers that were submitted by the Pack secretary, waiting for me to sign off on the bills compiled by the different segments in preparation for the upcoming festivities.I have been ignoring them for days now because of the attack and other distractions but today, I had persevered to finish assenting to the most relevant bills, especially the welfare team for the games. Once done, I stretched my arms to pop my stiff joints and circulate blood that had clogged at some points. After that, I stood and went to the minibar to pick up a bottle of Madeira and a glass, going to the window to look outside after I poured the drink and took a sip. It was approaching Fall, the season of festivities and procreation. It was in this period that the supernatural's experienced mass birth due to the cold weather which in the long run brought along heat for the females. For us, Lycans, the red blood moon would enhance all our abilitie
